Genmab — Januar 2020

[Solsen]

Vi og patienterne er utroligt heldige, hvis dara virker. Indikationen har et utal af biotech og pharma brændt naller på.

[bibob]

Ja, og hvis det ikke virker må man håbe det får en stille død. Vi har jo set hvordan kursen bliver banket ned, selv om et produkt ikke engang er indregnet. ;-).

Novartis still puts Ofa Regulatory

text from main slide: Ofatumumab (OMB157) is poised to set a new standard
for simple, broad and early B-cell therapy adoption

• Unsurpassed efficacy and favorable safety supporting broad and early use in RMS

[E_L]

45.9% risk reduction (p<0.001) in 24-week CDW post-hoc
analyses with revised definition used in OPERA trials1

[E_L]

 Regulatory file submitted in US and EU
 Easy-to-use autoinjector available upon launch,
enabling simple at-home self-administration and
improved patient experience
 Strong scientific presence at major congresses
and in markets through 2020
 Engaging with payers on rapid, broad early
access

Angående 9:10 henviser de selv til Chen og til artiklen: "PD-1 blockade in subprimed CD8 cells induces dysfunctional PD-1+CD38hi cells and anti-PD-1 resistance", hvor de konkluderer, at "targeting PD-1+CD38hi CD8+ T cells may prevent the induction of resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy" Nature Immunology volume 20, pages1231–1243(2019)

[gentogen]

Ikke at jeg forstår voldsomt meget af det

[Solsen]

I think Novartis bought the voucher from Bavarian

[bibob]

Yes Solsen. it could be.

[Sukkeralf]

Or maybe just had one in stock - but good for us anyway

[Bulder]

Den er god nok gentogen, dara ophæver/begrænser resistensen mod PD-1/PD-L1 blokade.

[Bulder]

Fint at autoinjektoren er klar allerede fra start. Det her bliver da et tema til genmab Q4.

[Plimsoller]

Er der en der kan oversætte til dansk? Sidste gang jeg hørte om PD-1/PD-L1 var da vi susede nedad i forbindelse med de solide tumorer forsøg der fejlede.

[E_L]

Not in Danish, but what i understand is that, In their findings they suggest there is evidence to suggest that strategies targeting both CD38 and PD‐L1/PD‐1 could work , in MM.

[E_L]

Note that there are already ongoing trials like that, eg Dara and Nivolumab, so i don’t immediately see the news value in that

[E_L]

they suggest new mechanisms of action of Dara;
a) Depletion of plasmacytoid dendritic cells; this should slow / inhibit tumour growth
