    Objective: To conduct the in vivo toxicity study of repeated administration of oncolytic virus drug HSV-1/hPD-1 in cynomolgus macaques, and to find out the safety dose range, so as to provide informative references for subsequent clinical trials. Methods: Thirty cynomolgus macaques were randomly divided into three groups including control group, HSV-1/hPD-1 low and high-dose groups (1.0×108 , 4.0×108 pfu), with five animals per sex per group. The monkeys were intramuscularly injected twice a week for consecutive six weeks following an eight-week recovery phase. Animals were observed clinical symptoms daily and irritation of injective sites on days 1 and 2 post injection. Body weight was measured once weekly and food consumption was visually estimated daily. Other toxicological parameters including safety pharmacology (body temperature, blood pressure, electrocardiogram), clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, biochemical, urinalysis), immunology (T lymphocyte, cytokine, immunogenicity), histopathology and organ weight were scheduled to be detected at the quarantine period, after the fi rst dosing, the end of dosing and recovery period. Results: All animas tolerated well and didn’t show obvious changes in clinical signs, injective irritation, body weight, food consumption, and pharmacology and clinical pathology indexes. On day 41, increased CD3+ CD4+ T lymphocytes were inspected in low dose animals. From days 13 to 97, antibody against HSV-1 vector, expressed PD-1 protein and antiantibody were continuously detected in low and high dose animals, which were considered correlation with immunostimulation and immunogenicity attributed to test articles. The histopathological fi ndings were recoverable minimal to moderate mixed cell infiltration in injection site of low and high dose animals and unrecoverable minimal myelin/axonal damage in sciatic nerve of high dose animals. The change of organ weight wasn’t detected in both groups. Conclusion: After repeated administration of oncolytic virus drug HSV-1/hPD-1, cynomolgus macaques showed good tolerance in vivo, and the no-observed-adverse-eff ect-level (NOAEL) of the test substance was 1.0×108 pfu. Our research data could be used to support subsequent clinical trials.

    Objective: To analyze the new drugs approved by the U.S. FDA in 2023 and compare them with the new drug approvals in China during the same year, providing a reference for the pharmaceutical industry. Methods: By reviewing the "2023 New Drug Approval Summary Report" released by the US FDA CDER, the "2023 Drug Evaluation Report" released by China's CDE, Drugs@FDA database, drug approvals published by the NMPA, and publicly available information on marketed drugs from the CDE, combined with relevant literature, data on new drugs approved by the FDA in 2023 were collected and statistically analyzed, and compared with the relevant situation in China. Results and Conclusion: In 2023, the FDA approved a total of 55 new drugs, including treatments for various medical fields such as oncology, genetic/rare diseases, and neurological disorders. 51% of the new drugs received orphan drug designation, 36% of the new drugs were recognized as "first-in-class", and 65% of the new drug approvals utilized at least one expedited program. Furthermore, the companies that have been approved for new drugs cover a wide range, from large pharmaceutical giants to small and medium-sized biotechnology firms, with varying numbers of new drug approvals. China approved 74 new drugs, and the breadth and diversity of disease fields are comparable to those of the FDA. However, the innovation of new drugs and the development of rare disease drugs need to be improved. 38% of the new drug approvals in China included at least one expedited marketing process. The time required for new drug review has decreased compared to 2022, but the one-time pass rate has also decreased, reflecting the increasing strictness of regulation. Pharmaceutical companies need to improve the quality of their application materials, and regulatory authorities need to improve drug regulation laws, strengthen the training and education of drug regulatory personnel, and enhance their professional level and international perspective.

    Objective: To analyze the current market quality problems on the basis of investigation and inspection, to study the authenticity identification methods of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) bletillae rhizoma and to provide suggestions for drug supervision. Methods: Literature reviews, investigation into the producing areas and markets, and the inspection data were combined to analyze the quality problems of bletillae rhizoma and their causes, and the solutions were put forward. Results: The main quality problems of bletillae rhizoma was the adulteration of the same genus or similar species. The percentage of unqualified bletillae rhizoma was 9% according to the national sampling inspection for the TCM crude drugs and prepared slices. It was difficult for the single detection method to authenticate the bletillae rhizoma due to the complex varieties of the fakes. However, the combined characteristic technologies can distinguish bletillae rhizoma from the fakes efficiently. Conclusion: Although there are a wide variety of counterfeit bletillae rhizoma, the quality problems are still acceptable. In order to improve the quality of the TCM crude drugs and prepared slices of bletillae rhizoma, we should strengthen the source management starting from standardized production.
