【3分で解説  #世界のファーマ】第27回 中国バイオ企業の成長 5つのテーマ (Japanese-language podcast)

Pink Sheet Executive Editor Derrick Gingery, Senior Writer Sarah Karlin-Smith and Editor-in-Chief Nielsen Hobbs break down the pending retirement of Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Director Richard Pazdur and appointment of Tracy Beth Høeg as the interim replacement (4:51), including the potential impact on sponsors (15:46). They also discuss whether Høeg will take time to learn CDER operations before making changes (19:38), as well as the possibility of yet another CDER director being hired in the coming weeks or months (23:18).

Drug Fix: Understanding the US FDA’s CDER Leadership Shuffle

Drug resistance derails even the most advanced cancer treatments, but what if we could restore sensitivity to existing therapies instead of starting over?
 
Neil Bhowmick, chief scientific officer at Kairos Pharma, joins In Vivo to discuss how his company is tackling resistance in oncology. We explore the company's lead asset, ENV-105, which is showing over 13 months of progression-free survival in Phase II prostate cancer trials by resensitizing tumors to hormone therapy, with significantly lower toxicity than standard alternatives like chemotherapy or radiopharmaceuticals.
 
Bhowmick explains the complex biology behind different resistance mechanisms, shares early data on GITR-modulating therapies designed to expand T cell populations for immunotherapy, and discusses their approach to developing companion biomarkers for patient selection. We also dive into the clinical and commercial rationale for combination approaches and what milestones to watch in the coming year.
