Kangfang Biological AK135 obtained implied approval for clinical trials last week and is intended to be developed for the treatment of chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. According to publicly available information from Kangfang Biotechnology, AK135 is a biopharmaceutical targeting IL-1RAP. Research has shown that IL-1RAP is highly involved in the inflammatory process through the interleukin-1, IL-33, and IL-36 (IL-1, IL-33, IL-36) signaling pathways, and has been found to be overexpressed in various hematological and solid cancer tumor cells.

 

 

 

Kangyuan Pharmaceutical's injection drug "KYS202004A" was also approved for clinical trials last week, and its indication is psoriasis. It is reported that psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent autoimmune skin disease that poses great challenges to the quality of life of patients. KYS202004A is a novel bispecific fusion protein targeting TNF - α and IL-17A, aimed at antagonizing TNF - α and IL-17A, playing a key role in the pathophysiology of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In preclinical studies of psoriasis, this product has been shown to be equally effective when used in combination with other approved products.
