GSKGSKs signed on Chongqing Zhifei Biological Products to distZhifei its shingles vaccine, Shingrix, in China. Zhifei will buy around $3 billion worth of the vaccine to sell in China from 2024 through 2026, and the partnership could be extended. The two companies could expand the deal to include GSK’s RSV shot in the future. Zhifei made a name for itself by propelling the growth of Merck’s Gardasil franchise in China.
BioBioNTechs inked another partnershipDaiichi Chinese biotech. This timeHER3-directedcADCany has paid $70 million upfront to MediLink Therapeutics for an HER3-directed antibody-drug conjugate, a potential competitor to Daiichi Sankyo’s patritumab deruxtecan.

TheFDAA has Bioconed Biocon’s biosimilar version of Novo Nordisk’s NovoLog, or insulin aspart, again. Back in early 2022, the FDA issued a complete response letter for the drug’s application. This time, the rejection is related to observations from an August 2022 inspection that resulted in a Form 483 for Biocon’s Malaysia facility. The FDA didn’t perform a reinspection in time before the regulatory decision date.
