SAGE-217 (oral brexanolone; SAGE Therapeutics/Shionogi) is a novel, next-generation positive allosteric modulator that selectively binds synaptic and extrasynaptic gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors and shares similar pharmacology properties to brexanolone.
Zulresso is SAGE Therapeutics’ proprietary intravenous formulation of brexanolone, which is an allosteric modulator of both synaptic and extra-synaptic GABA-A receptors.
Fotivda (tivozanib; AVEO Oncology/EUSA Pharma/Kyowa Hakko Kirin) is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1), VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3. Inhibition of VEGF signaling in order to prevent angiogenesis is a well-established strategy across many tumor types; however, Fotivda’s potency, selectivity, and long half-life are hypothesized to improve the drug’s efficacy and safety in comparison to its predecessors.
Cancer cells are known to rely on glycolysis as an energy source. CB-839 (Calithera Biosciences) inhibits the glutaminase enzyme, reducing the ability of cancer cells to utilize glutamine in this biochemical pathway, thereby reducing cell proliferation and tumor growth.
Abexinostat (Xynomic Pharmaceuticals) is a broad histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. HDAC enzymes (also known as lysine deacetylase) cleave acetyl groups from N-acetyl lysine amino acids on a histone.
Calquence (acalabrutinib; AstraZeneca/Acerta) is a novel, orally available, second-generation Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Inhibition of the BTK protein prevents the activation of the B-cell antigen receptor signaling pathway, which blocks both B-cell activation and BTK-mediated activation of downstream survival pathways.
Copiktra (duvelisib; Verastem/Yakult Honsha) is a highly selective small molecule inhibitor of the p110-delta and p110-gamma isoforms of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzyme.
Zanubrutinib (BeiGene) is an oral small molecule inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), developed to be more selective with less off-target effects than Imbruvica (ibrutinib; AbbVie/Johnson & Johnson). BTK is part of the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, which promotes cell proliferation, adhesion, and survival in many B-cell malignancies.
INCB050465 (Incyte) is an oral phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta-specific inhibitor. The PI3K pathway has been shown to be highly active in a subset of follicular lymphoma (FL), promoting cell proliferation and survival. INCB050465 inhibits the PI3K-delta isoform with a 20,000-fold selectivity over other PI3K isoforms.
Betalutin is a first-in-class antibody-radionucleotide conjugate targeted to CD37, an alternative to CD20, which is widely targeted in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. CD37 is highly expressed in B cells and B-cell lymphomas.
Aliqopa (copanlisib; Bayer) is a small molecule phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with high selectivity for the p110-alpha/delta catalytic subunits. The PI3K pathway is crucial for normal B-cell development, and is subverted by follicular lymphoma (FL) to promote survival and growth.
MT-2271 is a plant-based, recombinant virus-like particle (VLP) QIV seasonal influenza vaccine in development by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma. It contains a mix of recombinant hemagglutinin proteins expressed as VLPs.
Flublok (Sanofi) is a quadrivalent recombinant seasonal influenza vaccine that contains antigens from two A strains and two B strains specified by the World Health Organization seasonally for influenza vaccination.
Fluzone HD (inactivated split virion; Sanofi Pasteur) is an inactivated influenza vaccine that contains antigens from two A strains and one B strain specified by the World Health Organization seasonally for influenza vaccination.
Flucelvax is an inactivated subunit cell-based QIV that contains antigens from two A strains and two B strains specified by the World Health Organization seasonally for influenza vaccination.
