Chi-Med Initiates Fruquintinib U.S. Clinical Trials

Hutchison China MediTech Limited (“Chi-Med”) (AIM/Nasdaq: HCM) has initiated the United States Phase I bridging clinical trial of fruquintinib. Fruquintinib is a highly selective and potent oral inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (“VEGFR”) 1, 2 and 3, that has met its primary endpoint in several Phase II and III clinical trials in China for the treatment of colorectal, lung and gastric cancers. The clinical study in the U.S. is a multi-center, open-label, Phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib in U.S. patients with advanced solid tumors. The first drug dose was administered earlier this month. Additional details about this study may be found at clinicaltrials.gov, using identifier NCT03251378.

Artificial Organs — We’re Entering an Era Where Transplants Are Obsolete

Around the world, lists of patients in need of an organ transplant are often longer than the lists of those willing (and able) to donate — in part because some of the most in-demand organs for transplant can only be donated after a person has died. By way of example, recent data from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) showed that the number of patients waiting for a heart transplant in the United Kingdom has grown by 162 percent in the last ten years.

Magnetically Guided Bacteria Move Confidently Within Strong Currents, May Soon Deliver Drugs Inside Body

Researchers at Queen’s University in Canada have managed to get a special type of bacteria to swim against a strong current, opening up the possibility of using the organisms as drug delivery vehicles. The team is using magnetotactic bacteria which have magnetic crystals within them and naturally orient themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field. By setting up the external magnetic field, the researchers were able to coax the bacteria to move in predictable ways and directions.
