The vaccine is based on different technology from AZ’s rival: while AZ’s uses a weakened and genetically modified cold virus to prime the immune system, BNT162b2 is based on a string of RNA. According to latest figures from the World Health Organization, there are 42 potential COVID-19 vaccines in clinicaldevelopment.
The two companies have been working together since 2019 to develop multiple RNA interference (RNAi) candidates for disorders such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), type 2 diabetes, obesity and rare diseases. billion in cash. If approved, it could become a $500 million-a-year product, according to the company.
“C9orf72-associated ALS is a complex genetic form of ALS and there are multiple mechanisms by which the scientific community believes the C9orf72 gene causes disease. Based on the results from this study, Biogen and Ionis have confirmed that the BIIB078 clinicaldevelopment programme will be discontinued.
is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug candidates (designed to be eukaryotic ribosomal selective glycosides) that are formulated to treat rare and ultra-rare premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA.
Based on these results, the BIIB078 clinicaldevelopment program will be discontinued, including its ongoing open-label extension study. “We Vice President and Head of the Neuromuscular Development Unit at Biogen. About Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Now poised to advance a robust therapeutics pipeline to clinicaldevelopment, Nuance will use the funds for ongoing R&D of existing products and business development of potential new assets. Laying down a new track for RNA processing, Remix launched with $81 million in financing. Sigilon Therapeutics .
The bolt-on deal comes – which includes an upfront payment of $120 million and up to $910 million in milestones – covers rights to ARO-HSD, Arrowhead’s RNA interference drug targeting an enzyme called HSD17B13 that seems to contribute to the pathology of NASH and other liver diseases.
Dr. Kehua Fan has over 15 years of Business Development, ClinicalDevelopment of innovative drugs and other healthcare industry experience with MNCs and biotech companies. He received his B.S. degree from Henan Normal University, M.S. degree from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ph.D. from University of New Hampshire.
“Molecular profiling is a powerful tool that Winship’s physicians can utilize to optimize cancer treatments by accessing relevant genetic information that can have a meaningful impact on patient care at a personalized level.” Brille , Vice Chairman of Caris Life Sciences.
When developing a clinicaldevelopment program for these increasingly popular therapies, it is important that sponsors use modeling and pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis to evaluate parameters that can be measured while dosing with gene therapy drugs, to characterize exposure-response data and inform rational dosing.
Carlsbad, California-based Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced it will be sharing promising new trial data for its RNA-targeted prophylactic treatment donidalorsen for hereditary angioedema (HAE) at the 2025 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI)/World Allergy Organization (WAO) Joint Congress in San Diego, California.
Trial design and other details are being evaluated and a comprehensive update on the overall Novartis SMA clinicaldevelopment program will be provided at a future time following further discussions with health authorities. About Spinal Muscular Atrophy SMA is the leading genetic cause of infant death.
The vaccine is based on a strand of messenger RNA – a short segment of genetical material that codes for the “Spike” protein found on the surface of the coronavirus. Around 42% of global participants and 30% of U.S. participants have racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
She has 23 years of experience working with clients to move vaccine candidates through the clinicaldevelopment pipeline, including regulatory submission. The Flu versus COVID-19: Virology and Vaccines SARS-CoV-2 versus Influenza Virology Viruses contain genetic material that can either be RNA or DNA.
In summer, Alnylam’s gene silencing drug Oxlumo, the first treatment for primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), an ultra-rare and life-threatening genetic disorder Oxlumo was approved in the European Union and the US. It was the third approval from Alnylam’s pipeline of RNA interference therapeutics to make it to market.
Further, the acceptance of new mRNA vaccines has rejuvenated activity within previously established categories of RNA therapeutics including lifesaving antisense technologies. These include antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), RNA interference (RNAi), and RNA aptamers.
PH1 is an ultra-rare genetic disease characterized by oxalate overproduction. The safety and efficacy of Oxlumo are also being evaluated in the ongoing ILLUMINATE-C Phase 3 clinical trial in patients of all ages with advanced PH1, including patients on dialysis. Oxlumo should be administered by a healthcare professional.
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a type of single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA), which helps in transferring genetic information in order to produce proteins. The success of mRNA-based therapeutics and vaccines has increased the research activity in novel / next generation RNA therapeutics market.

However, for virologists like Lori Frappier, PhD, professor in the department of molecular genetics at the University of Toronto, the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 was less of a surprise and more of an inevitability. Omer maintains that the solution to this challenge is something that’s already in practice by developers of the mRNA vaccines.
The company’s candidate vaccine, mRNA-1273, is a synthetic messenger RNA that encodes the stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Unlike other candidate vaccines, CoronaVac is an inactivated whole virus vaccine developed through the same process as has long been used to make influenza vaccines, among many others.
