Mike Hollan FDA has approved the medication in adults and children with allergies. A peanut allergy can be a difficult and terrifying thing to live with. People with these allergies have to be on constant alert, as coming into contact with even a small amount of the food can cause a severe reaction. Thousands of Americans live with these allergies, and they are responsible for a similar number of emergency room visits. Typically, the best way to treat a peanut is to just avoid them altogether, which can be difficult due to how common nuts and nut oils are used in cooking. A recent announcement from Novartis, however, may make life a lot easier (and much less scary) for people living with these allergies. Novartis released that data from a new study which suggests that asthma medication Xolair can be used to treat certain food allergies, including nuts, eggs, milk, ...

On February 23, 2024, Abbisko Therapeutics announced that its independently developed new-generation EGFR Exon20ins inhibitor ABSK112 has completed the first patient administration in its Phase I clinical trial for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previously, ABSK112 has obtained clinical research licenses from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and is conducting Phase I clinical trials simultaneously in China and the United States. ABSK112 is a new generation of EGFR Exon20ins oral inhibitor with high activity, high selectivity and brain entry properties. Compared with the previous generation of EGFR Exon20ins inhibitors that have been on the market or entered clinical trials, ABSK112 has demonstrated better brain entry properties, high selectivity against wild-type EGFR, and broader Exon20ins mutation coverage in preclinical studies. It has shown excellent in vivo efficacy in multiple mouse tumor models with EGFR Exon20ins mutations. It has the potential to obtain ...
Sanofi, which is leading development of the Denali Therapeutics-partnered molecule, disclosed little about the clinical trial results in ALS. But this Phase 2 failure follows the 2020 clinical trial pause of a different partnered molecule that addresses the same target. By FRANK VINLUAN Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis develops through multiple pathways, so drug research in this neuromuscular disorder has pursued multiple targets. One of those targets faces some doubts after an ALS drug candidate from partners Sanofi and Denali Therapeutics failed to meet the goal of a mid-stage clinical trial. Denali disclosed the Phase 2 clinical trial failure in a Friday regulatory filing. The South San Francisco-based biotech said Sanofi informed it that the brain-penetrating drug, known at Denali as DNL788 and renamed SAR443820 by the pharmaceutical giant, did not meet the main endpoint of showing a change in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised, a scoring assessment for evaluating symptoms in ...
Bavarian Nordic will concentrate on its portfolio and pipeline of infectious diseases vaccines, including top seller Jynneos, approved for mpox and smallpox. The company only had one clinical-stage cancer vaccine program. By FRANK VINLUAN The mpox outbreak is a memory, but Bavarian Nordic, maker of the only FDA-approved vaccine for the pathogen behind this viral infection, turned skyrocketing demand for its product into record revenue. With that growth comes a need to focus, and the pure-play vaccines company is getting out of the business of developing vaccines for cancer. Bavarian Nordic’s lone cancer vaccine candidate, TAEK-VAC, had reached Phase 1 testing as a potential treatment for chordoma or HER2-positive breast cancer. But this program had also reached the point where further investment is needed, and Bavarian Nordic decided it needs to focus its R&D efforts on infectious disease, the Denmark-based company said Wednesday in its announcement of preliminary 2023 financial ...

Hepatitis B, a significant global health concern, is responsible for chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis and liver cancer which is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The challenge with hepatitis B is that most carriers are asymptomatic, remaining unaware of their infection, which can lead to its unintentional spread. Thus, early diagnosis is vital to halt the spread, initiate timely treatment, and reduce the risk of liver complications primarily caused by the hepatitis B virus. However, conventional tests for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) are complex, requiring specialized skills and large, expensive machine-based assays typically found in major hospitals. To overcome the problem of inadequate access to screening for Hepatitis B, researchers have developed a wireless, point-of-care test for the Hepatitis B Virus that can make diagnosis simpler and faster. Researchers from Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok, Thailand) have developed a testing kit that enables ...
