AstraZeneca has terminated all development of vemircopan, the oral factor D inhibitor it acquired through the deal for Alexion in 2021. The UK major recorded an impairment charge of $753 million as a result, according to 2024 earnings that were reported on Thursday. Development of vemircopan for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria was halted in November 2023, but now the drug is being abandoned completely. A Phase 2 trial in lupus nephritis or IgA nephropathy, and an early-stage trial in impaired hepatic function, have also been discontinued for lack of efficacy. Marc Dunoyer, the CEO of AstraZeneca’s rare disease unit, said it “is not immune to the odds of the industry, where not all of the pioneering work that you do is going to work.” He added that the decision to drop vemircopan was based on standard criteria, namely its benefits and risks, as well as the competitive situation. Despite the loss, AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot told reporters at a London event: “I can say with no hesitation, the Alexion acquisition was a fantastic acquisition.” AstraZeneca also took a $165 million impairment on FPI-2059, a Phase 1-stage radioligand that was scrapped. The drug was part of last year’s purchase of Fusion Pharmaceuticals. FPI-2059 is a lutetium-labeled small molecule targeting neurotensin receptor 1 which Alexion itself licensed from Ipsen in 2021. Other radioligands remain in development. AstraZeneca’s lead radioconjugate, FPI-2265, is a beta-emitting, PSMA-targeting product. Data on its Phase 2 prostate cancer trial could come in the second half of this year. “The field of radioconjugates is a little behind the field of ADCs at the moment, but it holds great potential,” AstraZeneca’s oncology R&D leader Susan Galbraith said at the earnings event. Elsewhere, AstraZeneca shut down: The company also reiterated the termination of a mid-stage study of an orexin 1 receptor antagonist, AZD4041, in opioid use disorder. The shuttering emerged in November , with a spokesperson telling Endpoints News the move was due to “a potential drug-drug interaction.” It appears that AstraZeneca will put its long-acting amylin asset AZD6234 into a new Phase 2b trial in obesity, in combination with the GLP-1/glucagon agonist AZD9550. According to a record on the EU’s trial database , the trial will end in the middle of next year. AZD6234 is already in a separate mid-stage monotherapy trial, which could yield data late this year. The company claimed it is heading into an “unprecedented catalyst-rich 2025,” citing a handful of late-stage trials for indication expansions, such as the AVANZAR study of Datroway in first-line non-small cell lung cancer. David Fredrickson, the leader of the company’s oncology business, affirmed his confidence in the ADC despite its stumbles in late-stage trials in both lung and breast cancers. “We’ve been able to apply the lessons that we’ve learned from the previous Phase 3 and Phase 2 studies that have read out so far to the frontline AVANZAR study,” Fredrickson said. The trial is enriched for the non-squamous population “because we think that’s the opportunity to see the most benefit for Datroway in the front line.” Combining the drug with the checkpoint inhibitor Imfinzi could also increase the chances of success, he said. Other major Phase 3 readouts will come for products still in earlier stages, such as the SERD camizestrant in breast cancer, baxdrostat in hypertension, and eneboparatide in hypoparathyroidism.

Several leading classes of therapies are exploring diverse mechanisms of action to treat CHF, including SGLT2 inhibitors, cardiac myosin activators, myeloperoxidase inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, GLP-1 receptor agonists, cell therapies, and more. This growing focus is expected to drive the chronic heart failure market forward. In summary, the existing blockbuster therapies such as Entresto, recently approved SGLT2 inhibitors, and Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators, along with emerging cell therapies, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, and small molecules, together have the potential to drive the existing market along with securing a significant market share upon introduction of new entrants to the CHF treatment landscape. LAS VEGAS, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's Chronic Heart Failure Market Insights report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, chronic heart failure emerging drugs, market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted market size from 2020 to 2034, segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Key Takeaways from the Chronic Heart Failure Market Report According to DelveInsight's analysis, the market size for chronic heart failure was found to be approximately USD 5.5 billion in the US in 2023. Among the 7MM, the US contributed the largest market share of the total CHF market size and will continue to experience a steep rise in the market size throughout the forecast period. As per DelveInsight's estimate, the total diagnosed prevalent cases of CHF in the 7MM were approximately 20 million in 2023. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) contributed to most of the cases. Within class-specific diagnosed prevalence of Heart failure, NYHA class II and class III contribute the maximum. Established chronic heart failure companies with approved therapies in the market are Novartis, Otsuka, Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly, Bayer/Merck, Amgen/Servier, scPharmaceuticals, and Lexicon Pharmaceuticals/Viatris. In addition, Daiichi Sankyo and American Regent are targeting adult patients with heart failure who are iron deficient. Among all the approved therapies, Novartis and Otsuka's Entresto, approved since 2015 in the US, is still the leading therapy generating more than USD 4 billion in the 7MM in 2023. Among, Eli Lilly's Jardiance and AstraZeneca's Farxiga, both SGLT2 inhibitors, Farxiga is the leading prescribed SGLT2 inhibitor globally by volume Leading chronic heart failure companies developing emerging therapies, such as Cytokinetics, Bayer, Eli Lilly, BioCardia, Mesoblast, Tenax Therapeutics, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Intra-Cellular Therapies, Cardurion Pharmaceuticals, Rivus Pharmaceuticals, and others are developing novel chronic heart failure drugs that can be available in the chronic heart failure market in the coming years.

In September 2024, Bayer presented the late-breaking data of Phase III FINE-HEART findings of KERENDIA (finerenone) during a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2024. In May 2024, Eli Lilly and Company committed an additional USD 5.3 billion manufacturing investment in the company's newest Indiana site to boost API production for tirzepatide and pipeline medicines. AstraZeneca expects the data of the Phase III BalanceD-HF trial of balcinrenone (AZD9977) + dapagliflozin for heart failure in 2025. Discover which therapies are expected to grab the major chronic heart failure market share @ Chronic Heart Failure Market Report Chronic Heart Failure Overview Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently is reduced, leading to inadequate circulation of oxygen and nutrients to meet the body's needs. The primary causes of CHF include coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and previous heart attacks. Lifestyle factors like obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to its development. The symptoms of CHF vary in severity and may include persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and difficulty exercising. Advanced cases can lead to severe fluid retention, wheezing, and an inability to carry out daily activities. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive medical history review and a physical examination, followed by tests like an ECG to assess heart rhythm, echocardiography to evaluate heart structure and function, blood tests, chest X-rays, and stress tests. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to improving quality of life and preventing complications. Chronic Heart Failure Epidemiology Segmentation The chronic heart failure epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current chronic heart failure patient pool and forecasted trends for the 7MM. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted patient trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. The chronic heart failure market report proffers epidemiological analysis for the study period 2020–2034 in the 7MM segmented into: Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Heart Failure Gender-specific Cases of Heart Failure Ejection Fraction-specific Cases of Heart Failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class-specific Cases of Heart Failure Type-specific Cases of Heart Failure Age-specific Cases of Heart Failure Chronic Heart Failure Treatment Market Current treatments for heart failure primarily rely on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, and diuretics. Additional therapies, such as aldosterone antagonists, amiodarone, antiplatelets, anticoagulants, calcium channel blockers, and nitrates, are also utilized in managing the condition. Most treatment regimens involve a combination of therapies, with beta-blockers being among the most commonly prescribed. Among the approved treatments, Novartis' ENTRESTO has emerged as a leading drug in the congestive heart failure market. Initially slow to gain traction, ENTRESTO has become one of Novartis' key growth drivers, with revenue expected to increase in the coming years. Following its approval for use in patients with preserved ejection fraction, ENTRESTO's market presence has grown significantly. However, ENTRESTO faces growing competition. The entry of new drugs, including SGLT2 inhibitors (such as FARXIGA and JARDIANCE) and VERQUVO, poses a challenge to ENTRESTO's dominance. Additionally, Novartis is set to lose ENTRESTO's exclusivity in the United States in 2025, raising the risk of generic competition. The company is actively engaged in several patent lawsuits to protect its position. SGLT2 inhibitors have also gained a foothold in the CHF market. Although FARXIGA and JARDIANCE are established drugs, they are relatively new in this therapeutic area. The outlook for SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure is promising, but AstraZeneca and Lilly/Boehringer will have limited time to solidify their positions, as FARXIGA's US patent expires in 2025 and JARDIANCE's in 2028. The recently approved SGLT2 inhibitor sotagliflozin may face challenges in capturing market share from these established treatments.

An increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, fueled by aging populations and lifestyle-related risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, has significantly raised the demand for effective CHF treatments. Advances in medical technology, including innovative drug therapies, cardiac devices, and regenerative medicine, are expanding treatment options and improving patient outcomes. Growing awareness about heart health and early diagnosis, supported by government and non-government initiatives, is also boosting market expansion. Additionally, the rising focus on personalized medicine and the development of therapies targeting the underlying molecular mechanisms of CHF are creating lucrative opportunities. The increasing healthcare expenditure and the availability of reimbursement policies in developed and emerging economies further bolster the market's growth trajectory. Furthermore, potential therapies are being investigated for the treatment of chronic heart failure, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will significantly impact the chronic heart failure market during the forecast period. Moreover, the anticipated introduction of emerging therapies with improved efficacy and a further improvement in the diagnosis rate are expected to drive the growth of the chronic heart failure market in the 7MM. However several factors may impede the growth of the chronic heart failure market. A key challenge is the underdiagnosis and delayed recognition of CHF due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions and the lack of widespread access to advanced diagnostic tools in many regions. Economic constraints, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, limit patient access to costly therapies, including advanced drugs and devices. Additionally, adherence to treatment regimens remains low due to the complexity of management protocols and the long-term nature of care, leading to suboptimal outcomes. Regulatory hurdles and lengthy approval processes for novel therapies further impede the introduction of innovative treatments. Finally, a limited understanding among general practitioners about newer guidelines and therapies reduces the referral rates to specialists, creating gaps in patient care. Addressing these barriers requires concerted efforts in education, affordability, and healthcare infrastructure.

PRESS RELEASE AB SCIENCE PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON AB8939, A NOVEL MICROTUBULE DESTABILIZER ESCAPING MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE AND STEM CELL TARGETED ALDH INHIBITOR, CURRENTLY IN PHASE 1 Paris, 17 December 2024, 7pm CET AB Science SA (Euronext - FR0010557264 - AB) today provides an update on its AB8939 program in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The webcast presentation is available on the company’s website, in the section « Press Releases »: https://www.ab-science.com/news-and-media/press-releases/ Highlights of the presentation are the following: AB8939 target product profile AB8939 is a next generation synthetic microtubule destabilizer and stem cell targeted ALDH1/2 inhibitor with key differentiating factors for treatment of refractory/relapsing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AB8939 blocks proliferating leukemia cells through microtubules AB8939 destabilizes microtubule, is not subjected to multidrug resistance as it does not bind to PgP, responsible of efflux outside the cells and AB8939 is not degraded by the enzyme myeloperoxidase. AB8939 targets leukemia cancer stem cells though inhibition of ALDH AB8939 inhibits ALDH1/2 and favors the bone marrow repopulation of normal progenitors. AB8939 is well suited for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML AB8939 has activity seen across refractory AML cell lines, has an additive effect with referenced first line treatment for AML, namely cytarabine, azacitidine and venetoclax. AB8939 has a potential use in AML with MECOM AB8939 has shown a signal of efficacy in AML with MECOM gene rearrangement, a subset of patients that show extreme resistance to chemotherapies and exhibit the worst survival prognosis AB8939 shows absence of hematological toxicity based on clinical data Addressable market with AB8939 in relapsed/refractory AML Treatments in relapsed or refractory AML represent an estimated market size potential above EUR 2 billion per annum.

Journal of Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy Volume 28, Number 9. https://doi-org.sutd.idm.oclc.org/10.18553/jmcp.2022.22021 Non clinical pharmacology Animal experiments have shown the following properties for AB8939 relevant for the treatment of AML: AB8939 is active against chemotherapy naive or chemotherapy refractory/relapsing patient’s AML cancers cells ex vivoAB8939 eradicates blasts in Blood and Bone Marrow in 5-AraC-resistant (Cytarabine) PDXAB8939 increases survival and has an additive effect in combination with reference treatment Azacitidine and VenetoclaxALDHs expression is a hallmark of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and AB8939 is an inhibitor of ALDH1/2. Therefore, AB8939 is a targeted therapy for leukemia cancer stem cells AB8939 eradicates Leukemia Cancer Stem Cells in a human PDX AML model Phase 1 preliminary safety The objective of the phase 1 is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for three different cycles of AB8939. The first step of the phase 1 has been completed with 28 patients enrolled, evaluating the maximum tolerated dose after 3 consecutive days of AB8939 treatment. The second step of the phase 1 is close to completion and enrolled 10 patients, evaluating the maximum tolerated dose after 10 consecutive days of AB8939 treatment. The next step is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose after 14 consecutive days of AB8939 treatment in combination with venetoclax or azacitidine and in combination with venetoclax plus azacitidine, both drugs being widely used on AML and for which AB8939 has shown an additive effect. Preliminary activity in MECOM MECOM is associated with a dismal outcome, with almost all patients dying within 12 months after relapse. AB8939 is a stem cell ALDH targeted therapy with potential use in AML with MECOM. ALDH gene expression is a marker of survival prognosis in AML. The higher the expression, the worse the prognosisMECOM is associated with the worst prognosis in AMLMECOM is a rearrangement or a mutation of the chromosome 3 locus Q26 that codes for the transcription factor gene EVI1 (Ecotropic virus integration site-1)The expression of ALDH1A1 is regulated by EVI1 and has an outstanding role in the formation and transformation of hematopoietic cells and in particular leukemia stem cellsThe hypothesis is that in MECOM, the rearrangement of chromosome 3 Q26 leads to EVI1 over-expressing ALDH1A and induces high resistance of leukemia stem cells, and AB8939 should have an impact on leukaemia stem cells by inhibiting ALDH1 AB8939 has shown activity on MECOM rearrangement, based on non-clinical data and early clinical data in relapsing/refractory line of treatment, with 50% response rate observed. Planned phases 2 The next steps in the clinical development will be discussed with FDA and EMA. The first intended step is to develop AB8939 in patients with MECOM AML, through a single arm study with less than 60 patients supporting an accelerated approval based on response rate. The second objective is to position AB8939 in broader forms of AML and position AB8939 in relapsed or refractory AML. The third objective is to capture the full market potential of AB8939 and position AB8939 in first line in combination with standard of care. Intellectual property AB8939 intellectual property rights in AML are secured until 2036 through a ‘composition of matter’ patent and potentially until 2044 in AML with chromosome abnormality, including MECOM, through a ‘second medical use’ patent.
