Glucagon-like Receptor Agonists01:24

Glucagon-like Receptor Agonists

370
Incretins include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), which stimulate insulin secretion post-meals. In type 2 diabetes, GIP's efficacy is reduced, making GLP-1 a viable drug target. GIP originates from preproGIP.
GLP-1, when administered in high doses intravenously, triggers insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and restores normal insulin secretion. However, its rapid inactivation by...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF

177
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab...

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Glofitamab is a novel CD20 x CD3 bispecific T-cell-engaging monoclonal antibody.
  • It targets B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key milestones in the development of glofitamab.
  • To highlight the drug's first conditional approval for relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical development milestones for glofitamab.
  • Analysis of regulatory submissions and approvals.

Main Results:

  • Glofitamab received conditional approval in Canada on March 25, 2023, for specific DLBCL patient populations.
  • Regulatory reviews are ongoing in the EU and USA, with a positive opinion received in the EU.

Conclusions:

  • The approval represents a significant step in treating relapsed or refractory DLBCL, particularly for patients unsuitable for CAR T-cell therapy.
  • Ongoing clinical development aims to further establish glofitamab's role in treating various non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
