The two partners have revealed the first clinical data from a phase 2b trial of a personalised vaccine consisting of 34 mRNAs, each targeting mutations – identified by genesequencing – that are thought to be driving a patient’s cancer. They also said they plan to discuss the phase 2b results with regulators.
The deal comes a year after Intellia and partner Regeneron reported promising results from the first clinical trial of a drug used to edit the genomes of cells within the body, in patients with rare disease ATTR amyloidosis. billion in potential milestones if the project advances through development and onto the market.
The data was from their phase 2b trial of a personalised vaccine consisting of 34 mRNAs, each targeting mutations – identified by genesequencing – thought to be driving a patient’s cancer. The post Boost for mRNA as Moderna to acquire OriCiro for $85 million appeared first on.
18 months after signing its first partnering deal with Genentech, Scenic Biotech has raised $31 million in first-round financing that it will use to take its own genetic modifier-targeted medicines into clinical trials.
The neoantigens are selected based on genesequencing of either a tumour biopsy or a blood sample, with an individual vaccine tailored to the patient manufactured and administered in a matter of weeks.
SparingVision has raised €75 million in second-round funding that will be used to fund clinical trials of gene therapies for ocular diseases retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The current schedule is for trials to start in 2024, with first safety and efficacy data coming a year later.
Canadian biotech Medicago has the data it was hoping for from a phase 2 trial of its COVID-19 vaccine, partnered with GlaxoSmithKline, and is now hoping to have phase 3 data available “by early summer.” The purified vaccine is administered alongside GSK’s pandemic adjuvant to boost the immune response.
Genesequencing specialist Illumina has started rolling out a new test that looks for a battery of tumour-associated genes from a single tissue sample, and could be used to help guide treatment for a broad range of cancers. “Comprehensive genomic profiling has proven to be this platform.”
Bluebird Bio’s decision to hit pause on the launch of Zynteglo for beta thalassaemia after two cases of cancer were seen in a clinical trial could see fears over the safety of viral vectors used to deliver gene therapies resurface. . million in Europe.
The alliance is based on Obsidian’s cytoDRIVE platform, which uses already approved small-molecule drugs alongside gene-editing medicines to control the expression of protein from a genesequence. For example, adding a small-molecule might stabilise the medicine, allowing levels of the target protein to increase.
