Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel; Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a novel albumin-bound formulation of paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is an insoluble taxane classified as an anti-microtubule agent; it stops the growth of tumors by inhibiting mitosis during metaphase.
Bempedoic acid is an orally administered small molecule that inhibits fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.
Repatha (evolocumab; Amgen/Astellas) is a fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G2 antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9).
Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is marketed by Amarin for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia. The molecule itself is a semi-synthetic, highly purified derivative of the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
Juxtapid (lomitapide mesylate) is a novel, first-in-class microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor marketed by Aegerion.
Praluent (alirocumab; Sanofi/Regeneron) is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PSCK9) and is intended for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Waylivra (volanesorsen; Ionis Pharmaceuticals) is an antisense drug that inhibits the translation and production of ApoC-III.
Inclisiran (The Medicines Company/Alnylam Pharmaceuticals) is a systemically delivered siRNA therapeutic targeting mRNA for PCSK.
Tymlos (abaloparatide; Radius Health) is a synthetic peptide analog of human parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), which binds to the same receptor as parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Cabometyx (cabozantinib; Exelixis/Ipsen/Takeda) is an orally available small molecule inhibitor which has been shown to suppress tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting the activity of multiple tyrosine kinases including MET, AXL, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR).
Imfinzi (durvalumab; AstraZeneca) is a human monoclonal antibody directed against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).
Lenvima (lenvatinib; Eisai/Novartis/Merck & Co) is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR).
Tislelizumab (BeiGene) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that was designed to bind to the PD-1 receptor and prevent binding of PD-L1. In addition, tislelizumab was designed to minimize binding to Fc-gamma-receptors (FcyR) on macrophages.
Opdivo is a fully human immunoglobulin G4 PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor that binds to the checkpoint receptor PD-1 expressed on activated T cells.
Cyramza (ramucirumab; Eli Lilly/Shire) is a fully human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2-directed immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular domain of VEGFR-2 found on tumor vasculature.
