This research community is exploring diverse therapeutic avenues and creative thinking, including gene therapies, cell therapies, immunotherapies, novel drug candidates, and the repurposing of drugs from other indications.
However, it is possible to target CD33 in the clinic, as evidenced by the FDA approval of Pfizer’s anti-CD33 antibody-drug conjugate Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) in 2000. The first clinical attempt at managing AML with CAR-T cells was reported in 2013 with a small Phase I study that did not demonstrate activity.
As we reported this morning, the deal gives Pfizer already-approved SCD therapy Oxbryta (voxelator) – which industry watchers reckon could see a dramatic uptick in sales with Pfizer’s marketing muscle – plus a phase 3 antibody candidate, a phase 1 follow-up to Oxbryta that could offer improved dosing.
In-vitro T-cell activation is a key innovation area in immuno-oncology T cells can be activated and differentiated in vitro by crosslinking the TCR with CD3 antibodies and PMA treatment. Activation of T-cell proliferation specifically in a tumour is crucial for reducing the autoimmune side effects of antitumour immunotherapy.

The Danish drugmaker is paying $100 million upfront for rights to antibody drug PRX004, which is heading for phase 2 trials in cardiomyopathy associated with ATTR amyloidosis, a life-threatening disease affecting the heart and nervous system. The post Novo Nordisk bulks up in rare diseases with $1.2bn Prothena deal appeared first on.
Dr Laura Moriarty, senior marketing manager at Bio-Rad, looks at the impressive immuno-therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Though their bispecific nature complicates large-scale production and purification workflows, with challenges such as antibody chain mispairing, bsAbs have come a long way since first developed.
They found that removal of the protein using geneediting technology led to severe early onset arthritis as well as bone loss in two rat models. antibodies in the knockout (KO) rats. In rescue experiments, supplementation of the antibodies through passive immunization did not suppress arthritis. KO animals.
of Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial in Nashville, Tennessee, and colleagues found that geneediting using CRISPR-Cas9 is safe and feasible and can provide clinical benefit to patients with sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent ß-thalassemia. ASH: CRISPR-Cas9 GeneEditing Promising in TDT, SCD.
More Investigational Therapies for HIV Are on the Way American Gene Technologies, a pioneering biotech company headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, has released promising results from its Phase I trial of AGT103-T, a gene therapy designed for individuals with chronic HIV disease. In November 2023, Hookipa Pharma Inc.,
For example, monoclonal antibodies, a type of biologic, can selectively bind to specific targets such as proteins or cells involved in disease processes, thereby modulating immune responses or inhibiting disease progression. One of the key features of biologics is their ability to mimic or augment natural biological processes within the body.
Synthetic biology has grown exponentially in less than a decade, with CRISPR gene-editing as the key technology driving this through its use in areas like cancer, infectious diseases, and rare, undertreated indications. Here are my key takeaways from SynBioBeta’s conference.
The pushback has also affected another new drug for SCD, Novartis’ antibody Adakveo (crizanlizumab), used to treat the painful vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) that periodically afflict people with the disease, which has also been highlighted as a potential blockbuster.
As observed in 45 younger adults, the middle dose of the vaccine triggered the production of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus, which causes COVID-19 , in 10 patients aged 56 to 70 and 10 patients over 71. Freenome secures USD 270 Million to boost its colorectal cancer blood test.

“We are excited to welcome Chris, a highly regarded drug developer and team builder who brings to Notch great depth of experience and expertise in development of cell therapies, geneediting, and cell engineering spanning discovery through IND,” said David Main , President and Chief Executive Officer of Notch.
ERS Genomics – Ireland’s ERS Genomics Limited, and Germany’s Vivlion GmbH, announced a non-exclusive license agreement granting Vivlion access to ERS Genomics’ CRISPR/Cas9 patent portfolio, to enhance Vivlion’s geneediting reagents and screening services. for its cGMP-compliant CHOSOURCE platform. in Mainland China.
Furthermore, the introduction of multi-targeted kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies is also being examined as a possible form of therapy. GeneEditing and CAR T-Cell Therapy Genetic engineering technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, are providing newer potential avenues for cancer treatment.
Toripalimab is the first domestic anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody that received approval for marketing in China.

It is being administered together with FOLFOX chemotherapy.
Perhaps this omission is because the systemically administered vaccines are unable to stimulate robust immune responses in the mucosae, despite generating systemic neutralizing antibody (and possibly T cell) responses. Analyses of this large dataset should help to identify prognostic biomarkers and support therapeutic development.
LogicBio is also developing a Next Generation Capsid platform for use in geneediting and gene therapies.
