Receptor Occupancy Assays by Flow Cytometry: Benefits for Clinical Trials

XTalks

Flow cytometric receptor occupancy assays are being increasingly used in preclinical and clinical studies. Both the areas of drug development and clinical trials are increasingly using in vitro assays to help determine the efficacy of an investigational therapeutic. What is Flow Cytometry?

Osimertinib Resistance and EGFR Mutations in NSCLC Treatment

Bioengineer

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2

A protein-based COVID-19 vaccine that mimics the shape of the virus

The Pharma Data

Food and Drug Administration were based on mRNA, more conventional protein-based vaccines have also shown promise in clinical trials. Most train the immune system to recognize the RBD, a peptide that is the portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that binds to the ACE-2 receptor on host cell surfaces. bioRxiv [Preprint].

The Important Role that Biopharmaceutics Plays in Accelerating Early-Phase Drug Development

Pharmaceutical Technology

Many compounds present sub-optimal pharmacokinetic (PK) data (either predicted from in-vitro and pre-clinical data or measured in the clinic), such as poor exposure (leading to high doses), large variability, short half-life requiring more than once-a-day dosing, or C max -related adverse events (AEs).

Innovation Pharmaceuticals’ Brilacidin for the Treatment of COVID-19 Receives FDA Fast Track DesignationPhase 2 clinical trial of Brilacidin for COVID-19 anticipated to commence this month

The Pharma Data

Brilacidin is a first-in-class Host Defense Protein (HDP) mimetic with antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Fast Track designation is well-timed, as we anticipate starting our Phase 2 clinical trial in hospitalized COVID-19 patients this month, and should help bring Brilacidin to patients faster in these dire times.”.
