Nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ferring Pharmaceuticals announced today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a state-of-the-art drug product manufacturing hub in Parsippany, NJ, for its intravesical non-replicating gene therapy ADSTILADRIN® (nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg). The approval expands Ferring’s manufacturing capabilities to three cutting-edge sites dedicated to bringing ADSTILADRIN to patients and secures a final $200 million payment from Royalty Pharma (Nasdaq: RPRX) as part of a royalty-based financing agreement announced in 2023. ADSTILADRIN is the first and only intravesical non-replicating gene therapy approved by the FDA for patients with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors (±Ta/T1). Bladder cancer is the sixth most diagnosed cancer in the United States, and the majority of patients are diagnosed with non-muscle invasive disease.1 “The FDA approval of our new manufacturing facility for ADSTILADRIN represents our unwavering dedication to delivering high-quality, innovative therapies at scale,” said Armin Metzger, Executive Vice President, Chief Technical Operations Officer, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. “This expansion and diversification of our manufacturing footprint will further ensure stable and sustainable supply of ADSTILADRIN to meet the anticipated growth in global demand.” Located on Ferring’s U.S. campus in Parsippany, NJ, the new state-of-the-art manufacturing site features a cutting-edge manufacturing suite, fully integrated with specialized modern technology and equipment to produce another source of supply for ADSTILADRIN. The 12,000 square foot facility features renewable energy solutions such as waste heat recovery with heat pumps and solar energy, complementing Ferring’s commitment to protect the environment by reducing its impact on the planet. “ADSTILADRIN has transformed the treatment landscape for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer patients and drives Ferring’s continued growth in uro-oncology,” said Bipin Dalmia, Global Head of Uro-Oncology and Urology Franchise, Ferring Pharmaceuticals. “The growing body of clinical evidence for ADSTILADRIN — including the recently announced independent real-world data2 and data from our Japan Phase 3 trial3 — underscores the impact of this therapy. The FDA’s approval of this additional manufacturing site is a testament to our commitment to make ADSTILADRIN globally available to every bladder cancer patient who needs it.” About ADSTILADRIN ADSTILADRIN® (nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg) is the first and only FDA-approved intravesical non-replicating gene-therapy for the treatment of adult patients with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors. It is a non-replicating adenovirus vector-based therapy containing the gene interferon alfa-2b, administered locally as a monotherapy by catheter directly into the bladder once every three months. The vector enters the cells of the bladder wall, releasing the active gene and causing the bladder’s cell walls to secrete high and transient local expression of interferon alfa-2b protein, a naturally occurring protein the body uses to fight cancer. This approach essentially turns the bladder wall cells into interferon microfactories, enhancing the body’s own natural defenses against the cancer. ADSTILADRIN has been studied in a clinical trial program that includes 157 patients with high-risk, BCG-unresponsive NMIBC who had been treated with adequate BCG previously and did not see benefit from additional BCG treatment.4 The pivotal Phase 3 study met its primary endpoint, with more than half (51%) of the 98 patients (95% CI [41%, 61%]) with CIS with or without papillary tumors (±Ta/T1) achieving a complete response (CR) by three months (full inclusion criteria published on clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02773849).4 Earlier this month, Ferring announced results from an ongoing Phase 3 trial of ADSTILADRIN in BCG-unresponsive CIS ± high-grade Ta/T1 patients (n=20) in Japan. At 3 months, 75% (15/20) of patients achieved a complete response.2 Overall, 80% of participants experienced a drug–related AE, all of which were either Grade 1 (84.2%) or Grade 2 (15.8%). The data from Japan add to the growing body of evidence, including recent real-world data presented by the Mayo Clinic that showed a 79% CR rate, demonstrating consistent effectiveness and safety when patients are treated with ADSTILADRIN at three months (19/24 patients with CIS +/- Ta/T1).3 Ferring is leading the future in uro-oncology treatment with ADSTILADRIN at the center, while expanding access with the support of new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. As announced in January 2024, ADSTILADRIN is fully available and accessible in the U.S. ADSTILADRIN has confirmed 99 percent coverage for commercial and government-insured patients. As of April 1, 2024, in accordance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), ADSTILADRIN established an Average Sales Price (ASP). Since the establishment of ASP, all covered claims submitted for reimbursement have received payment within an average of 25 days.5 About Ferring Uro-Oncology Ferring is committed to investing in novel therapies, developing life-changing solutions that address unmet medical needs, and aiding the uro-oncology community in helping patients live better lives.

About Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) NMIBC is a form of bladder cancer that is found in the inner layer cells of the bladder and does not invade into or beyond the muscle wall.6 In the United States, bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer,1 fourth among men,7 and it is estimated that there will be approximately 84,870 new cases of bladder cancer in the U.S. in 2025.1 Historically, 75% of bladder cancer presents as NMIBC.8 In patients with high-risk NMIBC, intravesical BCG remains the first-line standard-of-care. However, approximately one third of patients with NMIBC will not respond to BCG therapy and 50% of those with an initial response will experience recurrence or progression of their disease.9 Current treatment options for BCG-unresponsive patients are very limited, and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend cystectomy (partial or complete removal of the bladder).10 INDICATION ADSTILADRIN is a non-replicating adenoviral vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with high-risk Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary tumors. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS: ADSTILADRIN is contraindicated in patients with prior hypersensitivity reactions to interferon alfa or to any component of the product.

Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during ADSTILADRIN treatment and for 3 months after the last dose. ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common (>10%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities (>15%), were glucose increased, instillation site discharge, triglycerides increased, fatigue, bladder spasm, micturition (urination urgency), creatinine increased, hematuria (blood in urine), phosphate decreased, chills, pyrexia (fever), and dysuria (painful urination).

癌度临床试验病友交流群（点击）一、新药快讯1、依沃西单抗对比替雷利珠单抗三期临床试验成功2025年4月23日，免疫双抗药物依沃西单抗联合化疗对比PD-1抑制剂替雷利珠单抗联合化疗一线治疗晚期鳞状非小细胞肺癌的三期临床试验获得成功，独立数据监测委员会评估的期中分析显示阳性结果，达到中位无进展生存期主要研究终点。依沃西单抗是靶向PD-1和VEGF的免疫双抗，该药之前对比K药帕博利珠单抗获得成功，这是该药第二个头对头PD-1疗法取得阳性结果的三期临床试验。2、创新药物TCMCB07，有望帮助肿瘤患者解决恶病质问题恶病质是肿瘤患者比较常见的且危险的综合征，大概20%的癌症患者死亡与恶病质有关，而不是肿瘤疾病本身。最近一款前沿药TCMCB07崭露头角，在1期临床试验中，接受TCMCB07的患者体重平均减少幅度明显小于安慰剂组，差值为1.07公斤。使用TCMCB07的患者自述进食更顺畅，饥饿感改善程度比安慰剂组高出15%。也就是使用该药患者可以维持体重并提升生活质量。3、前沿基因疗法让79%的肿瘤患者病灶清除，目前聚焦膀胱癌非肌层浸润性膀胱癌属于相对早期癌症，通常的治疗方式是膀胱内注射卡介苗，用来唤醒免疫系统击杀癌症。但有部分患者使用卡介苗治疗无效，最近日本的一项三期临床试验使用了一种前沿基因疗法，这个疗法就是Nadofaragene Firadenovec-vncg，可以让使用卡介苗治疗无效的患者，3个月内75%的患者肿瘤全消失。这也是仅有的一个被美国FDA批准用于卡介苗无效的膀胱癌基因疗法。二、抗癌前沿1、来自7000多奥希替尼临床项目基因检测数据，总有患者漏检近日，发布在国际学术期刊《肺癌》杂志一个研究表明，来自9项奥希替尼的临床试验数据表明，4864例活检肿瘤组织样本和2402例手术切除样本，其中91%的样本检测充分，95%的活检样本和99%的手术切除样本获得了有效的检测结果。而晚期肺癌一线和二线治疗之后检测不充分性高达10%至15%。基因检测不充分的原因是样本的肿瘤细胞含量不足或活检组织体积不足。也就是基因检测技术并非是100%的准确。
