编辑丨王多鱼 排版丨水成文 生物医学研究是增进人类对健康和疾病的理解、推动药物研发以及提升临床护理水平的基础。 然而,在生物医学实验室中,科研人员往往被复杂的实验方案、庞大的数据库、五花八门的分析工具以及不停更新的海量文献所淹没。生物医学研究日益受到这 些重复且分散的工作流程的制约,让科研人员疲于奔命, 严重减缓了科学发现的速度,限制了科学创新。这凸显了科学界对根本性新方法的迫切需求——一种能 够 有效扩展科学专业知识、简化研究工作流程,并充分释放生物医学研究潜力的全新路径。 2025 年 6 月 2 日, 斯坦福大学 黄柯鑫 、 Serena Zhang 、 王瀚宸 、 屈元昊 、 陆荧洲 等研究人员领衔的团队,联合 Genentech、Arc Institute、 加州大学 旧金山分校及 普林斯顿大学等 多个顶尖研究机构,发布了一款 通用生物医学 AI 智能体 —— Biomni ,该智能体能够自主完成横跨遗传学、基因组学、微生物 学、药理学和临床医学等多个生物医学分支领域的复杂研究任务 。 Biomni 的诞生标志着 AI 在生物医学研究中从"工具使用者"向"自主决策者"的跃迁 。通过将分散的科研资源整 ...
Terns Pharmaceuticals (TERN) FY Conference Transcript
2025-06-09 21:00
Summary of Terns Pharmaceuticals (TERN) FY Conference Call - June 09, 2025 Company Overview - Terns Pharmaceuticals is a small molecule company founded in 2017, focusing on developing innovative therapies for chronic diseases, particularly chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and obesity [3][4] Key Value Drivers - The company anticipates significant data readouts in Q4 2025 for two best-in-class medicines: - A BCR ABL inhibitor for CML - An oral GLP-1 receptor agonist for obesity [4] Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) Program - **Market Size**: The CML market includes approximately 100,000 patients in the G7, with 17,000 new diagnoses annually. The market is expected to triple by 2040 [9] - **Unmet Needs**: Current therapies have limitations in tolerability and safety. Terns aims to improve on these aspects with its allosteric inhibitor, TURN-701 [5][10] - **Target Product Profile**: TURN-701 aims for better efficacy, safety, and convenience compared to existing therapies, with a once-daily dosing regimen without food restrictions [10][11] - **Clinical Data**: Initial data shows a 50% cumulative major molecular response (MMR) rate, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed in trials [22][23] - **Upcoming Data**: A robust dataset with six-month MMR is expected in Q4 2025, with over 40 patients involved [31][32] Efficacy and Safety - TURN-701 is designed to have superior pharmacokinetics (PK) and target coverage compared to osiminib, the current standard [19][29] - The drug does not inhibit CYP3A4, reducing drug-drug interaction risks, which is crucial for the older patient population typically affected by CML [13][14] Obesity Program - The obesity market is seen as still developing, with limited competition for oral drugs. Terns believes its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, TURN-601, can differentiate itself through improved tolerability and simpler titration [55][56] - **Tolerability**: TURN-601 aims to achieve competitive weight loss with a better tolerability profile, expecting to see potentially half the rate of nausea and vomiting compared to existing treatments [67] - **Partnership Strategy**: Terns plans to seek a partnership for TURN-601 post-trial, focusing on capital allocation and leveraging its resources for the CML program [72] Financial Outlook - The company has sufficient cash to fund operations into 2028, focusing on advancing the CML program and completing the Phase IIa study for TURN-601 [73] Discovery Efforts - Terns continues to work on its GPRA antagonist program, which is an area of interest for future development [74] Conclusion - Terns Pharmaceuticals is positioned to make significant advancements in the treatment of CML and obesity, with promising data expected in the near future. The company is strategically focused on partnerships and efficient capital allocation to maximize its development efforts.
