The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to two novel cancer therapies: Izalontamab Brengitecan (EGFRxHER3 ADC) developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb ($BMY) for patients with previously treated advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and Ifinatamab Deruxtecan by Merck ($MRK) for patients with pretreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). These designations highlight progress in targeted lung cancer treatments. Additionally, Insmed's Brinsupri™ (brensocatib tablets) received FDA approval as the first authorized drug to treat non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB), with analysts predicting blockbuster sales. Savara ($SVRA) announced it will present new data from the Phase 3 IMPALA-2 trial of Molgramostim inhalation solution for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) at the upcoming European Respiratory Society Congress 2025. Meanwhile, industry observers note China's growing emphasis on accelerating drug manufacturing and reducing costs, contrasting with the U.S. biotech sector's focus on innovation and invention. This shift in China’s approach is driving rapid growth in manufacturing-related R&D, prompting calls for new strategies to better bridge American biomedical invention with commercialization. The upcoming World Conference on Lung Cancer 2025 (WCLC25) will feature data on ivonescimab from the $SMMT HARMONi trial, underscoring ongoing competitive developments in lung cancer therapies.
