Background: The bispecific antibody (bsAbs) research around the world has undergone great changes. We analyzed the global trend of bsAbs research and compared the differences in clinical research of bsAbs between China and worldwide.

Methods: BsAbs research clinical trials information was retrieved through the online open-resource clinical trial registration platform. Research information including organizations, identity numbers, locations, phases, participating centers, conditions, status, enrollment, targets, spectrums of mechanism of action (MOA), and start date was collected. Clinical trials were divided into two categories based on the attributes of pharmaceutical companies (international or China-initiated or involved).

Results: From 1997 to 2020, 272 clinical trials regarding bsAbs research were retrieved. Twenty-nine percent of the studies were contributed by companies from Chinese institutions, which followed the USA and ranked second. The clinical trials of bsAbs are mainly concentrated on phase I (n = 161), phase I/II (n = 54), and phase II (n = 51), and the number of phase III trials is still rare (n = 4). Tumor species distribution analysis shows that there are significantly higher focuses on gastric cancer (n = 18), esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer (n = 16), bladder cancer (n = 10), biliary malignant tumor (n = 8), nasopharyngeal cancer (n = 6), and thymic cancer (n = 2) in China. BsAbs target and spectrums of MOA analysis showed that international companies mainly focus on bsAbs with CD3-based (n = 63) target with MOA of T-cell redirection, while researches in China pay more attention to PD-1 (n = 9)/PD-L1 (n = 7) axises with MOA of double immune checkpoint blocking.

Conclusion: Global bsAbs research increased rapidly during the 1997 to 2020 period. The developed countries in America and Europe are leading the trend of bsAbs research. Anticancer bsAbs clinical research in China is booming and chasing after the world trend.

The study aims to address the critical issue of toxic side effects resulting from drug combinations, which can significantly increase health risks, clinical complications, and lead to drug being withdrawn from the market. A model named TSEDDI (toxic side effects of drug-drug interaction) has been developed to improve the identification of drug pairs that may induce toxicity or adverse reactions. By utilizing drug chemical structures and diverse proteins, we employ a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from molecular images, enzyme proteins, transporter proteins, and target proteins.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of vancomycin change during HD, increasing the risk of subtherapeutic concentrations. The aim of this study was to evaluate during and after the conventional and prolonged hemodialysis sessions to identify the possible risk of the patient remaining without adequate antimicrobial coverage during therapy. Randomized, non-blind clinical trial, including critically ill adults with septic AKI on conventional (4 h) and prolonged HD (6 and 10 h) and using vancomycin for at least 72 h.
