• Fosun Pharma's Wan Ti Le (tenapanor hydrochloride tablets) has received NMPA approval for controlling serum phosphorus in dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease who have inadequate response to phosphate binders.
• As the world's first and only approved phosphate absorption inhibitor, tenapanor works through a novel mechanism by inhibiting NHE3, reducing intestinal phosphate absorption through the paracellular pathway.
• Clinical studies show tenapanor can decrease serum phosphate levels by an additional 0.57 mmol/L when combined with phosphate binders, potentially addressing the low phosphate control rates (39%) among China's one million hemodialysis patients.
Recent advancements in the biotech sector highlight significant progress in treatments for diabetes, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and T cell lymphoma, with several companies receiving FDA approvals or making notable strides in clinical trials.
