For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.

Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

The currently approved CD-19 CAR products are autologous, ex vivo cellular therapies. Recent headlines have highlighted the potential for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-based therapies to provide clinical benefits to persons affected by lupus. In these cases B cell depletion is a feature, not a bug.

Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. In a recent webinar, Dr. Olsson described the benefits of flow cytometric receptor occupancy assays in clinical trials. What is Flow Cytometry?

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The goal of targeting both S and N was to both activate virus-specific T cells and generate anti-SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies. The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. This can significantly limit the effectiveness of first-generation platforms.

The challenges and trends of cell & gene therapies 

Drug Discovery World

And whilst clinical trials activity decreased by around 15% compared to 2020, last year still saw a number of regenerative medicines reach the bedside. Last year saw the sector surge, with levels of investment hitting an all-time high at $22.7 billion, compared to $19.9 billion, compared to $19.9 million price point per dose.
