SAMSUNG-BIOEPIS
27.9.2018 01:02:06 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the company’s Biologics License Application (BLA) under the 351(k) pathway for SB5, a biosimilar candidate referencing HUMIRA® i (adalimumab). The BLA for SB5 was submitted by Samsung Bioepis in July 2018.
The BLA for SB5 was based on data derived from a randomized, double-blind 52-week Phase 3 study, in which 544 patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis despite methotrexate (MTX) therapy were randomized to receive either SB5 or the adalimumab reference product (ADL). At Week 24, the ACR20 response rate was 72.4% in the SB5 group versus 72.2% in the ADL group. The safety profile of SB5 was comparable to ADL up to Week 24. At Week 24, 254 patients receiving ADL were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to continue on ADL or transitioned to SB5, and 254 patients receiving SB5 continued to receive SB5. Up to Week 52, the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity profiles remained comparable between all three treatment groups. There were no treatment emergent issues or clinically relevant immunogenicity precipitated by alternating subjects between treatments.
Outside of the United States, SB5 has so far received regulatory approval from the European Commission, Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration and Health Canada.

Fujirebio Expands Its Neuro Testing Portfolio With the Launch of the Fully Automated Lumipulse® G pTau 217 CSF Assay for Research Use Only28.1.2026 07:07:00 CET | Press release
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced the availability of the Lumipulse G pTau 217 CSF assay for the fully automated LUMIPULSE® G immunoassay analyzers. This CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) assay is available for Research Use Only (RUO) and allows for the quantitative measurement of Tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (pTau 217) in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within just 35 minutes. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, composed of hyperphosphorylated tau, and amyloid plaques, consisting of distinct β-amyloid peptides. CSF pTau217 has emerged as an early biomarker for neuropathological changes associated with AD. This new immunoassay further strengthens Fujirebio’s growing portfolio of neurological biomarkers and reinforces the company’s leading position in the advancement of associated research tools and diagnostics. “By adding pTau 217 CSF to our neuro portfol
