Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel; Gilead) became the first chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy to launch for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) when it gained US approval for relapsed/refractory patients in October 2017.
Kinenza (enzastaurin) is an oral serine/threonine kinase inhibitor that suppresses signaling of protein kinase C (PKC)-beta to induce cell apoptosis, reduce cell proliferation, and suppress tumor-induced angiogenesis.
Umbralisib (TG Therapeutics/Rhizen) is a novel phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) delta inhibitor that also selectively inhibits casein kinase-1 (CK1) epsilon. Expression of the PI3K delta isoform plays a role in B-cell development and function, and is often overactivated in B-cell malignancies.
MorphoSys is positioning its cluster of differentiation (CD)19-targeted monoclonal antibody MOR208 in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients who are ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
Polatuzumab vedotin (Roche) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that combines a humanized immunoglobulin (Ig)-G1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) targeting human B-cell surface antigen cluster of differentiation (CD)79b and antimitotic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE).
Lisocabtagene maraleucel (also known as JCAR017; Celgene) will be the third autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy to reach the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) market following the launches of approved CAR-T drugs Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel; Novartis) and Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel; Gilead).
Launching after Revatio, Adcirca became the second-to-market PDE5 inhibitor upon its approval in major markets in 2009. Inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme enhances the effect of the endogenous vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO).
United Therapeutics developed Tyvaso (treprostinil) as a follow-on product to Remodulin. As an inhaled formulation of treprostinil
United Therapeutics is developing a gene therapy product called Aurora-GT (endothelial nitric oxide-synthase-enhanced endothelial progenitor cells)
INOpulse (Bellerophon Therapeutics) is a drug-device combination being developed to deliver a continuous, pulsed dose of nitric oxide via intranasal inhalation.
Bardoxolone methyl (AbbVie/Kyowa Hakko Kirin), under development by the research-stage company Reata Pharmaceuticals, is a Phase III candidate in clinical trials for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Esuberaprost (United Therapeutics) is an oral chemically stable prostacyclin analog targeting the prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) receptor. PGI2 agonists are potent vasodilators and platelet aggregation inhibitors, and also help relax smooth muscle cells by counteracting the effect of vasoconstrictive mediators.
Ralinepag (Arena Pharmaceuticals/Everest Medicines) is a selective prostaglandin I2 receptor agonist. PGI2 agonists are potent vasodilators and platelet aggregation inhibitors, which also help relax smooth muscle cells by counteracting the effect of vasoconstrictive mediators.
Pfizer’s PF-06482077 is a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, which is currently in Phase II development in the US and EU. PF-06482077 contains the 13 serotypes included in Prevnar 13 (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A), as well as seven additional serotypes.
Fluad QIV (CSL) is a subunit, surface antigen-containing seasonal quadrivalent influenza vaccine adjuvanted with MF-59, an oil-in-water emulsion. It contains antigens from two A strains and two B strains specified by the World Health Organization seasonally for influenza vaccination.
