Despite recent advances, cancer remains one of the biggest healthcare challenges we face today. It is a leading cause of death globally and, in 2020, accounted for an estimated 9.9 million deaths1
has a long-term commitment to deliver scientific breakthroughs and develop innovative cancer treatments to positively transform the lives of patients
Our commitment to innovation has resulted in pioneering treatments for lung cancer and we are now advancing a unique clinical development pipeline of new therapeutic agents
both cancer-cell directed agents and immune-oncology therapies
to help combat many different types of cancer
Overall, approximately 5–7% of tumours display MDM2 amplifications3
such amplifications are more common in some tumour types than others
with an incidence of up to 90% in some types of advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS)
Despite advances in the treatment for other cancers over the past decade
the standard-of-care treatment for patients with advanced STS is still chemotherapy; hence
patient outcomes are poor and there is a clear need for new therapeutic options with improved efficacy and better tolerability
Blocking the MDM2–p53 interaction to reactivate wild-type p53 function is therefore a promising cancer therapeutic strategy
we have developed a compound designed to target the MDM2–p53 interaction: the oral
small-molecule MDM2–p53 antagonist BI 907828
This novel agent has a dual mechanism of action: direct targeting of tumour cells and exertion of immune-cell modulatory effects (Fig
BI 907828 binds directly to MDM2 and blocks its interaction with p53
cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in tumour cells with wild-type TP53 status
Activation of p53 also promotes an anti-tumour immune response by increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration in the tumour and induces anti-tumour immune memory
BI 907828 and immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 may show synergistic activity in combination
The MDM2–p53 antagonist BI 907828 has a dual mechanism of action (MOA)
combining both direct cell-targeted and immune-modulatory activities
Based on encouraging preclinical activity4
BI 907828 is currently under clinical investigation in two ongoing phase I clinical trials in patients with advanced solid tumours:
a phase I trial of BI 907828 as monotherapy
a phase I trial of BI 907828 in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody ezabenlimab (BI 754091)
comparing BI 907828 with doxorubicin in first-line treatment of patients with advanced dedifferentiated liposarcoma
will start recruiting in early 2022 (NCT05218499)
The data from both ongoing and upcoming clinical studies with BI 907828 as monotherapy and in combination will provide more evidence about the relevance of such an innovative
targeted therapy in various tumour types susceptible to MDM2–p53 blockade
many advances in cancer treatment have provided benefit to patients; however
there remain multiple areas of unmet medical need
Although further clinical investigation is needed
progress so far with the MDM2–p53 antagonist BI 907828 is just one example of the efforts being made in the fight against cancer
we believe that our long-term focus on both cancer cell- and immune cell-directed therapies
together with our close collaboration with the oncology community
will continue to provide novel therapies and improved outcomes for cancer patients

Jean-Michel Boers doesn”™t often speak to the media
but in an exclusive interview with the Business Journal
he spoke of Boehringer Ingelheim”™s future as it marks 50 years in the U.S
While understandably proud of Boehringer Ingelheim USA”™s reaching its golden anniversary this year
the president and CEO notes that parent company Boehringer Ingelheim was actually founded by Albert Boehringer in Ingelheim am Rhein
“So obviously we were doing business with the U.S
The 294-acre campus is the pharma giant”™s North American headquarters
but Boers noted that it has a number of other sites across the U.S.
in an unusual arrangement where Boehringer Ingelheim paid €4.7 billion in cash to Sanofi to acquire its animal health division
Sanofi acquired Boehringer”™s consumer health care business Thomae
The world”™s largest private pharma company
Boehringer worldwide reported a 3% rise in net sales in 2020 to about $23.2 billion
and a 22% increase in operating income to $5.6 billion
The North American division posted a 1% increase in net sales last year
Although there have doubtless been attempts at wooing the company away from Ridgefield
Boers insisted the company is there to stay
“We”™ve become very attached to this site,” he said
“The fact that we”™re in the Northeast between Boston and New York makes Connecticut a good place to be when it comes to attracting talent.”
including R&D and back-office operations in addition to its executives
All together there are close to 9,000 employees throughout the country and over 50,000 worldwide
The company”™s products include the type 2 diabetes medication Jardiance
whose worldwide revenue was up 22% last year to nearly $1.15 billion; and Ofev
a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
whose sales increased last year by 38% to $2.34 billion
Global sales of other familiar names like asthma and COPD treatment Spiriva fell by 13% to $2.17 billion
while Trajenta/Jentadueto declined by 3% to $1.83 billion
Covid-19 came as a bolt from the blue for Boehringer; unlike most
it had to keep most of its R&D team in its on-site laboratories
Boers said the firm implemented full safety precautions
R&D isn”™t just a major part of the company”™s business ”” BI spent nearly $4.5 billion on R&D in 2020
7% more than in the previous year ”” but due to the long development and FDA review processes
any disruption could further negatively impact the delivery of medicine
And it is studying treatments for conditions affected by Covid
Although it announced in March that it was discontinuing the Phase 2 trial of a compound for reducing the risk or severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients hospitalized for the virus and requiring non-invasive oxygen support
Boers said another antibody treatment via inhalant is continuing to be tested
Ultimately the company expects to have most everyone back on the Ridgefield campus over the next several weeks
While the work-from-home procedures went smoothly
although we will see what the future looks like
Offering flexibility for our employees and future employees will play a part
and as a result we will probably be a more agile organization.”
Boers also expressed admiration for the pharmaceutical sector at large
“The speed at which the industry was able to offer highly efficacious vaccinations is quite extraordinary,” he said
“It shows how important it is to invest in health care in the U.S.”
“We still need to look at the long-term effects of Covid.”
Another challenge for BI and the rest of the industry is ”” well
Keeping medicines affordable is an ongoing issue
while spending millions on rebates and offering discounts to promote prescription drugs
Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb have all recently reported downturns in average net prices
with Merck saying that 45.5% of its gross U.S
One part of BI”™s business unlikely to be affected is its philanthropy
Boers chairs the Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation board of directors
which is dedicated to improving the health and lives of people and animals
recently committed up to $450,000 in employee-directed funds to strengthen communities and address unmet needs
Boers explained that the company”™s active U.S
employees are being encouraged to direct a one-time $50 donation (for the 50th anniversary) from BI Cares to one of the more than 40 eligible nonprofit causes in its matching gifts program
employees will each have an opportunity to direct an additional $5,000 BI Cares donation
“There is a lot of volunteering in our company,” he noted
“which is probably because of our mission to providing first-in-class products and services to the health care industry and to our patients.”
BI Cares invested over $1 million in nonprofit programs in the communities where its employees live and work
The company also donated about $71 million in medicines to its various nonprofit partners
along with a number of food banks and animal shelters
Mention “animals” in the same breath with “pharmaceuticals” and many people envision grisly images of testing on dogs
While Boers acknowledged that BI does engage in such testing
he said that it “unfortunately is necessary” since new medications cannot be tested on humans before they have been done on animals
“It helps us understand the toxicity of products,” he said
“But of course we work under the most recent highest standards with the authorities
We recognize we have a responsibility and the highest respect for animals.”
BI confirmed that it would no longer use or fund the so-called “despair test,” which involved placing mice
rats and other small animals into inescapable beakers filled with water
The putative reason for such tests was to study depression in animals and how certain medications could treat that condition
Boers said he agreed with a recent statement by Hubertus von Baumbach
the corporation”™s chairman of the board of managing directors
predicting a slight year-over-year increase in net sales
“We are pretty confident that we can make sure the U.S
has the access to quality medicines that our innovative approach makes possible,” he said
that Boehringer Ingelheim”™s motto is “Value Through Innovation.”

Conference on forensic entomology: a report by Jens Amendt
“Insects & Wine”was the motto of an international conference held in Ingelheim am Rhein – which is known for its red wine – from June 12 to 14
Fifty-five participants from 14 countries including South Africa
Brazil and Canada met to discuss the latest findings and developments in forensic entomology
The event was organized by University Hospital Frankfurt’s Institute of Forensic Medicine
the institute has been the site of intensive research into the biology and ecology of carrion insects
The knowledge gained can be applied nationwide in the routine work of investigating capital offenses – for instance in determining the time or the circumstances of a death
The conference was held under the aegis of the European Association for Forensic Entomology
It was divided into several themed sessions and had some unusual features
including a focus on the establishment and uses of human forensic taphonomy facilities
often known colloquially as “body farms.” These are outdoor laboratories where research is carried out to understand the decomposition processes in human cadavers under natural conditions (in which carrion insects play a major role)
The body farms also enable the simulation of case scenarios for the investigation authorities and are used to train forensic technicians and human remains detection (HRD) dogs
but to date none has been set up anywhere in Europe
The biologists at Frankfurt’s Institute of Forensic Medicine
some legal and bureaucratic obstacles remain
the Frankfurt scientists invited some high-profile help to the conference
has already opened three “body farms” in Australia and Canada
and her lecture entitled “Human decomposition facilities – What can we learn from these bodies of Knowledge?” was impressively persuasive
It is clear that the network of these facilities has to be expanded worldwide to provide information relevant to all climate zones and inhabited areas
and to satisfy the different investigation authorities’ numerous requirements and training concepts
This was also illustrated by the demonstration by Hessian HRD dogs directly adjacent to the conference venue – bloody knives
old bones and items of clothing from cadavers were well hidden in the bushes
waiting to be sniffed out by the canine detectives from Germany and Belgium
head of the dog training unit in Mühlheim am Main
stressed how important it is to train the dogs using real human cadavers – which of course cannot be done just anywhere but requires a dedicated location – like a body farm
Shari Forbes and her European colleagues described the immediate practical relevance and also the great variety of research fields in the work on human cadavers
the human microbiome can act as a marker indicating the time of a person’s death
while the natural traces found on corpses are nowhere near being fully cataloged and understood
and the complex chemistry of the “smell of death” can be a fascinating forensic tool for determining the post-mortem interval and the circumstances of a murder
Another conference session focused on a species of insect that appears unremarkable at first glance: the blue blowfly
It is the “gold standard” among the European necrophagous insects because it is one of the fly species most frequently found on corpses
and is also well suited to the low temperatures that still often occur in Central Europe
Insects on cadavers help in estimating the time of death
which is very important in cases of homicide if more than one or two days have passed post mortem
the classical forensic methods like body temperature
rigor mortis and livor mortis no longer provide useful information
it is possible to determine a post-mortem interval of up to several weeks based on the age of the insects present on the cadaver – and Calliphora vicina is very important here owing to its frequent occurrence
the Czech Republic and Frankfurt provided examples that revealed how complicated it can be to determine insects’ age in actual case work
and how important it is to learn more about the factors that influence these cold-blooded creatures
such as fluctuating diurnal temperature profiles
Necrophagous insects are at the end of the food chain – and when they feed on a corpse
they also consume those substances that the deceased consumed more or less regularly during their lifetime
a large number of contributions examined the extent to which substances such as various benzodiazepines can be detected in the insects if human tissue samples no longer exist or can no longer be analyzed
and whether consumption of these substances can alter the insects’ ageing process
That would have an impact on the estimated time of death
The data presented from Munich and elsewhere allayed the fears of the audience as this kind of influence was thought to be extremely unlikely
The conference presentations in the “free topics” section demonstrated the enormous range of activities in forensic entomology: analyses of the genetic diversity of carrion insects
ecological investigations of the insect succession on dead flesh
new types of indicators like the invasive blowfly Chrysomya albiceps
and techniques adapted from other disciplines
for creating a timeline for the weathering of insect remains at the site of a cadaver
A veritable cornucopia of methods was presented
which was matched by the comprehensive range of specialists attending the conference: from forensic pathologists to curators of natural history museums all the way to employees at the most varied (inter)national criminal investigation departments
The large number of contributions from early career scientists was also welcome – a total of 14 lectures and posters were “assessed” by the conference’s participants
The final panel discussion addressed a major problem in forensic entomology
Whereas “genetic fingerprints” and the “virtual 3-D crime scene” are firmly established methods for investigators
all too often insects still lead something of a Cinderella existence at the European level
The forensic project “MaDE in Deutschland” (“Maggot in Germany”) in Frankfurt is intended to remedy this situation with funding from the EU
serving as a best practice for other European professional development and information projects
the attendees enjoyed the wine tasting that concluded the event all the more – Ingelheim showed its best side here
It will be interesting to see whether next year’s conference venue can keep up the standard
In culinary terms this should not be a problem
Jens Amendt is responsible for the entomological assessment of homicides and unclear circumstances of death
and teaches and researches the subject of forensic entomology at Goethe University Frankfurt
He is also a founding member and the current president of the European Association for Forensic Entomology
and is a board member of the German Society of Medical Entomology and Acarology (DGMEA)

Not all German tuning firms are obsessed with insane power numbers and questionable cosmetic makeovers, as Senner Tuning’s new package for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing sports car shows
The Ingelheim am Rhein-based tuner starts with the SLS AMG’s 6.2-liter V8 engine, which normally produces an output of 571-horsepower and a peak torque of 650Nm (479 lb-ft). A revised ECU along with a stainless steel sports exhaust system and a high-performance air filter boots these numbers 606HP and 690Nm (509 lb-ft).
Senner Tuning also upgrades the suspension and adds a new set of 20-inch Corniche Vegas alloy wheels shod in tires size 255/30R20 at the front and 285/30R20 at the rear
