NHS addresses shortage of ethnic organ and blood donors with £600,000 funding

The funding aims to reduce health inequalities in these groups and save more lives The Community Grants Programme led by NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) has dedicated £600,000 to address the shortage of organ and blood donors from black, Asian and mixed ethnic backgrounds. The funding builds on the ongoing commitment by the government and the NHS to address health inequalities for individuals who need life-saving transplants or regular blood transfusions. The Community Grants Programme funds projects led by community, faith or belief organisations to provide greater awareness and support for donations, particularly among black and Asian communities. Furthermore, the scheme aims to inform and recruit more donors of black heritage to treat people with sickle cell disease, the fastest growing blood disorder in the UK, which is more prevalent in people of this heritage. The NHSBT is seeking applications to engage diverse communities across England and Wales and is ...

Game-Changing Blood Test for Stroke Detection Could Bring Life-Saving Care to Patients

Stroke is the primary cause of disability globally and ranks as the second leading cause of death. However, timely early intervention can prevent severe outcomes. Most strokes are ischemic, resulting from a blockage that disrupts blood flow to the brain. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes, a severe form of ischemic stroke, occur when a major artery in the brain is obstructed. The brain cells begin to die within minutes due to the deprivation of oxygen and nutrients. LVO strokes are critical emergencies that necessitate rapid treatment with mechanical thrombectomy, a procedure that removes the obstruction. Now, a new test combines blood-based biomarkers with a clinical score to accurately identify patients suffering from LVO strokes. Mechanical thrombectomy has revolutionized stroke treatment, potentially restoring individuals to full health as though they never experienced a stroke. The sooner this procedure is applied, the better the outcomes for patients. This groundbreaking technology, developed by ...

New AI Tool Classifies Brain Tumors More Quickly and Accurately

Precision in diagnosing and categorizing tumors is essential for delivering effective treatment to patients. Currently, the gold standard for identifying various types of brain tumors involves DNA methylation-based profiling. DNA methylation functions as a regulatory mechanism to control gene activity, essentially turning genes on or off. However, the time required for such testing can be a significant hindrance, often taking several weeks—a delay that can be critical when patients need prompt decisions regarding their treatment. Additionally, these tests are not widely available in most hospitals around the world. Now, a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been developed to classify brain tumors more quickly and accurately. Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU, Canberra, Australia) have created DEPLOY. This new method predicts DNA methylation patterns to classify brain tumors into 10 major subtypes. DEPLOY utilizes histopathology images, which are microscopic images of patient tissue samples. The model was trained and ...

European Commission Decision Is a Reprieve for PTC Therapeutics’ Rare Muscle Disease Drug

The PTC Therapeutics drug Translarna failed its confirmatory study in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Analysts say the European Commission’s decision to not adopt the Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use’s negative opinion on the drug is unusual, if not unprecedented. By Frank VinluanA PTC Therapeutics drug that failed a confirmatory study in the rare muscle-wasting disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy may remain on the market in Europe for now. Regulators there took the rare step of declining to adopt a recommendation opposing renewal of the product’s marketing authorization. The PTC drug, Translarna, received conditional marketing authorization in 2014 based on Phase 2 data. The conditional nature of this pathway requires a company to seek annual renewals of the authorization until it generates the clinical data that supports a standard marketing authorization. In a placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, Translarna failed to achieve the main goal of showing a significant change according to ...

Amgen and AstraZeneca ponder label expansion for Tezspire in COPD

Amgen and AstraZeneca have highlighted the potential of Tezspire (tezepelumab) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a subgroup of patients in a Phase IIb study even though the trial missed the primary endpoint. The therapy failed to show a significant reduction in the annual rate of moderate to severe exacerbations compared to the placebo, the trial’s primary endpoint. The data from the placebo-controlled Phase IIa COURSE trial (NCT04039113) was presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference taking place in San Diego, US, from 16 to 21 May. However, a pre-determined subgroup analysis of COPD patients based on the levels of eosinophils, measured as baseline eosinophil count (BEC), showed significant reductions in COPD exacerbations. The therapy also demonstrated a 48% reduction in severe exacerbations compared to the placebo. Patients who received Tezspire while having a BEC of 150 cells/μL or more, which is associated with increased COPD-related emergency ...
