This month, we take a look at emerging research in this area , including that from the United Kingdom’s 100,000 GenomesProject, and understand how clinical applications could follow in the near future. You can also subscribe here to receive email notifications when a new issue is available.
The two companies will work to advance precision cancer medicine by harnessing genomics data in trial design, recruitment, site selection and other areas.
The COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) database, operated by the Wellcome Sanger Institute, grew out of the work of the Cancer GenomeProject and has been gathering data on mutations associated with specific cancers for almost 17 years.
Here he gives us a deeper look at how genomic medicine is evolving and the barriers that are preventing it from reaching its full potential. This is where the future of medicine lies – where we are able to read a patient’s genome and then direct care and therapy based upon that.”.
Although clinical trials proved that chemicals could be used to treat cancer, the results of the study remained a closely guarded military secret until 1946. 2012 – The 100,000 GenomicsProject begins. Unlocking the secrets of the human genome has intrigued investigators for centuries.
The companies used data from the 1,000 GenomesProject but from that, only 61 datasets made the cut to encompass the ideal patient population. “I The FDA scientists agreed that Vertex’s clinical trial results, made available in documents published last week, were “strongly positive.”
The data include an oral presentation in a Clinical Trials Plenary Session on April 10 on the Phase III trial CHRONOS-3 evaluating copanlisib (Aliqopa ) in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (iNHL). Israel and Taiwan under the brand name Aliqopa. o Abstract 394; April 10, 8:30am EDT.
Small sample size in trials: Finding eligible patients for clinical trials of orphan medicines is a big challenge. For instance, the UK government’s 100K GenomesProject has achieved its goal of sequencing the genomes of 100,000 people in 2019.
The potential of CRISPR technology has been a hot topic in the industry ever since it was first developed, but as trials progress further into the clinic, what therapeutic areas could be set to benefit? Ben Hargreaves takes a look at why oncology could be one of the major beneficiaries of a growing pipeline of CRISPR therapeutics.
A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 GenomesProject would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped. It is likely, just as with the 100,000 GenomesProject, we will be hearing about the breakthrough made possible by this approach in the years to come.
