What are the “Antibodies to Watch” in 2022? Find out on Dec 2nd!

by

Join us for our next webinar, December 2, 2021, at 11am ET / 5pm CET

In “Antibodies to Watch in 2022”, Drs. Janice Reichert, Alicia Chenoweth and Silvia Crescioli will discuss key events in antibody therapeutics development that occurred in 2021 and forecast events that might occur in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to pose challenges and opportunities to the healthcare system, but companies forged ahead with development plans, resulting in record numbers of antibody therapeutics in late-stage clinical studies and in regulatory review. Globally, regulatory agencies approved a record number of novel antibody-based products, including anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The speakers will provide details of 2021 events and trends in the development of antibody therapeutics projected for 2022.

Did you miss our free Symposium on novel γδ-T cell-directed treatments for cancer?

by

“Emerging cancer therapies leveraging gamma-delta effector T cells”

Hosted by The Antibody Society and co-organized with LAVA Therapeutics.

Empowering the potent and specific anti-tumor activities of γδ-T cells is an emerging and highly exciting approach in the fight against cancer. Two distinct therapeutic approaches are getting particular attention; the first is aimed at tumor-targeted activation using bispecific antibodies or γδ-CART cells, the second involves adoptive transfer or in vivo activation of γδ-T cells. During this symposium you will hear from key opinion leaders about the most recent developments for novel γδ-T cell-directed treatments for cancer, including a panel discussion on key opportunities and perspectives.

Held Monday November 29, 2021, the recorded event will be On Demand soon!

A panel discussion includes:

· Prof. James Allison, MD Anderson, Houston, TX
· Prof. Padmanee Sharma, MD Anderson, Houston TX
· Prof. Daniel Olive, Imcheck and Aix-Marseille Université, Marseille, FR
· Prof. Jürgen Kuball, University Medical Center, Utrecht, NL
· Dr. Michael Koslowski, GammaDelta Therapeutics, London, UK
· Prof. Hans van der Vliet, LAVA Therapeutics and Amsterdam UMC, Utrecht, NL

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody therapeutics Ronapreve and Regkirona approved in the EU

by

On November 11, 2021, the European Medicines Agency’s human medicines committee recommended authorizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody therapeutics Ronapreve (casirivimab/imdevimab) and Regkirona (regdanvimab) for COVID-19.

  • The Committee recommended authorizing Ronapreve for treating COVID-19 in adults and adolescents (from 12 years of age and weighing at least 40 kilograms) who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are at increased risk of their disease becoming severe. Ronapreve can also be used for preventing COVID-19 in people aged 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kilograms. The company that applied for authorization of Ronapreve was Roche Registration GmbH.
  • The Committee recommended authorizing Regkirona for treating adults with COVID-19 who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are also at increased risk of their disease becoming severe. The applicant for Regkirona was Celltrion Healthcare Hungary Kft.

On November 12, 2021, the European Commission approved both products.
