Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-06-04 05:52
今年ASCO上,两笔PD-1/VEGF双特异性抗体交易,以及康方/Summit的PD-1/VEGF依沃西单抗数据读 出,成为整个医药市场的关注焦点。 作为拥有药王K药的默沙东(MSD),也详细表述了自己对肿瘤的免疫和ADC疗法的策略,值得投资者 关注。 在今年ASCO上,默沙东表示正积极调整其肿瘤治疗领域的产品管线和研发策略,重点关注PD-1/VEGF 双特异性抗体和抗体偶联药物(ADC),以应对其核心产品Keytruda专利即将到期带来的挑战。 公司预计,到2030年代中期,其后期肿瘤管线有望带来超过250亿美元的商业机会,其中ADC的贡献预 计将超过一半 。 PD-1/VEGF,在中国快速探索数据,推进ADC联用 默沙东认为PD-1和VEGF联用的生物学机制已得到验证,在多种适应症中观察到无进展生存期(PFS) 的改善。然而,管理层也指出,尽管数据显示出具有临床意义的总生存期(OS),但OS获益的统计学 显著性仍是一个"悬而未决的问题" 。 默沙东通过与礼新医药(LaNova Medicines)合作,获得了PD-1/VEGF双特异性抗体LM-299(默沙东内 部代号MK-2010)的全球独家许可 。该项 ...
制药商囤货导致美国药品进口量激增,爱尔兰对美贸易顺差首超中国

今年3月,美国药品进口总额超过500亿美元,这相当于2024年美国药品进口总额的20%。其中增加的 200亿美元进口额主要来自于爱尔兰。 由于担忧美国特朗普政府即将对进口药品发起的关税,制药商正在大量囤积库存。 最新贸易数据显示,今年3月,美国药品进口量激增200亿美元。爱尔兰对美国药品出口增幅尤其显著, 并使得该国对美国的贸易顺差首次超过对中国的贸易顺差。 美国商务部最新发布的贸易数据显示,今年3月,美国药品进口总额超过500亿美元,这相当于2024年美 国药品进口总额的20%。其中增加的200亿美元进口额主要来自于爱尔兰,达到约155亿美元,占据增加 进口量的大部分。 5月5日,特朗普表示,他将在未来两周内宣布相关的关税事宜。他还最新发布了一项行政命令,要求美 国FDA增加对海外制药生产设施的监管。 爱尔兰是美国主要的药品进口来源国。如果美国对药品发起"对等关税",对爱尔兰制药业将造成巨大的 冲击。特朗普对爱尔兰制药业已经表达了不满,他曾公开表示,美国与爱尔兰的贸易失衡主要由药品出 口驱动。 牛津经济研究院高级美国经济学家马修·马丁在报告发布后称,除了爱尔兰和其他欧盟国家外,受预期 药品进口税影响最大的国 ...
一则消息,股价突然暴跌超36%!这家药企遭遇断崖式重挫!到底发生了什么?

康方生物新药依沃西新适应症获批上市,然而,康方生物的美国合作方SMMT公司周五股价暴跌超过36%,原因何在?这对康方生物影响几何? 01 长按即可参与 断崖式暴跌 SMMT重挫36% 国家药品监督管理局官网显示,康方生物全球首创双特异性抗体新药依沃西新适应症获批上市,单药用于PD-L1表达阳性的局部晚期或转移性非小 细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的一线治疗。 尽管 PFS 数据亮眼, OS(总生存期) 的未达预期却引发了资本市场的剧烈波动。分析认为,投资者的失望源于两点: 消息面上,在周五宣布 依沃西 获中国批准用于一线 PD-L1 阳性非小细胞肺癌( NSCLC )时,康方生物披露了备受关注的 HARMONi-2 试验中 期分析结果:与 Keytruda(简称K药, 全球最畅销抗癌药物 ) 相比,依沃西 将死亡风险降低了 22.3% (风险比 HR=0.777 )。 然而,这一数据未能跨越预先设定的统计学显著性门槛( α=0.0001 )。该分析基于 39% 预设死亡事件时的数据得出。 值得注意的是,中国监管部门批准 依沃西 的依据是其无进展生存期( PFS )数据:与K药 相比,依沃西 使疾病进展或死亡风险降低了 ...
