In a new study, researchers from King’s College London (KCL) have revealed that tiny particles present in cows’ milk could offer a new and effective method for the oral delivery of ribonucleic acid (RNA) drugs. Published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology, the tiny particles known as extracellular vesicles (EV) could help protect and deliver RNA drugs following oral administration. RNA therapies are a powerful class of drugs based on nucleic acids that offer a way to target previously untreatable diseases on a molecular level. Despite successful administration via injection, there has been no successful way to deliver them orally, as the drugs are destroyed by the harsh conditions of the gut. Researchers extracted EVs from cows’ milk and loaded them with RNA molecules to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). EVs are nanoscale transporters that carry biological molecules in a protective coat throughout the body, controlling and regulating the access of ...
Chronic liver disease and associated cirrhosis account for one million deaths every year Boehringer Ingelheim and Ochre Bio have partnered to discover and develop novel, first-in-class regenerative treatments for chronic liver disease (CLD), including late-stage metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) cirrhosis. The partnership aligns with Boehringer’s drive to improve outcomes for patients living with interconnected cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases. Accounting for approximately one million deaths per year, CLD and associated cirrhosis cause significant morbidity, loss of health-related quality of life and economic burden. As CLD progresses, the liver’s natural ability to regenerate and repair diminishes, resulting in serious complications such as liver failure or liver cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, Ochre will receive up to $35m in upfront and near-term research-based milestone payments, as well as possible milestones for clinical, regulatory and commercial success plus tiered royalties, with an overall deal value with the potential to exceed $1bn. ...

Biopharmaceutical companies are regaining interest in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) innovator drug development. MASH innovator drugs witnessed over $2.5 billion increase in the total value of partnership deals from 2020 to 2024 year-to-date (YTD), with more than $2 billion forged in Q1 2024 alone, reveals GlobalData. MASH, previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a disease characteriSed by liver inflammation and damage caused by the accumulation of fat. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals’ Rezdiffra (resmetirom), a small molecule THRB agonist, was the first drug approved by the FDA for MASH in March 2024. Alison Labya, Business Fundamentals Analyst at GlobalData, comments, “Interest in MASH has returned in light of the FDA approval of Madrigal’s Rezdiffra, as well as the success of GLP-1 obesity drugs and their potential efficacy in MASH, as demonstrated by Eli Lilly’s Zepbound (tirzepatide; also known as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes) in its Phase II SYNERGY-NASH trial readout.” However, ...
