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. ...

Pharmaceutical companies use Feel Therapeutics’ technology to monitor the mental state of participants in clinical trials of behavioral medications. But the startup envisions its technology eventually also finding a place as a part of clinical care. By Frank VinluanWhen it comes to evaluating the health of a patient, each therapeutic area has its own data-gathering tools. Think glucose monitors in diabetes and heart monitors for cardiovascular disease. But in mental health, a clinician relies on what a patient says. Self-reporting is incomplete and lacks objectivity, says George Eleftheriou, CEO and co-founder of Feel Therapeutics. Feel is trying to bring more complete and objective data collection to the field of mental health. The San Francisco-based startup does it with wearable technology that continuously collects data and provides recommendations. “One of the things we hear is how poor storytellers people are and [how they] cannot truly depict what happened over the past ...
Sanna Uskela et al., at North Karelia Central Hospital-Heart Center, Finland, conducted a retrospective single-center registry study that focused on the use of drug-coated balloon (DCB)-only strategy for treating de novo left main coronary artery disease. This study is significant as it addresses a treatment approach that has not been extensively studied before, particularly in the context of high bleeding risk (HBR) patients. The study included all consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a de novo left main coronary artery lesion using the DCB-only strategy between August 2011 and December 2018. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) including cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (TLR). The cohort was divided into two groups based on whether the lesion preparation was done according to the international consensus group guidelines. Key findings from the study include: (1) The study included 66 patients with a ...
Don Tracy, Associate Editor A combination of data from the EMERGENT-4 trial and pooled data from the EMERGENT program showed the promise of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in providing symptom improvement for people with schizophrenia. Bristol Myers Squibb announced results from its Phase III EMERGENT-4 trial analyzing the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of KarXT (xanomeline-trospium) in adults with schizophrenia, which was showcased at the Annual Congress of the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS). Additionally, the company revealed promising pooled data from EMERGENT-4 and EMERGENT-5 for the long-term safety, tolerability, and metabolic effects of KarXT in schizophrenia over 52 weeks. EMERGENT-4 is a 52-week, open-label extension trial assessing long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of KarXT in adults who completed earlier phases of the trial for schizophrenia. Investigators found that over 75% of patients administered KarXT achieved a 30% improvement in symptoms.1 “We are pleased to see a continued and consistent meaningful reduction ...
Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction, according to a study from the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS), in Long Beach, California. Jisok Lim, PhD, said, “These new findings will greatly impact our understanding of the mechanisms on how aerobic exercise improves vascular health at the level of genomic stability.” Late-life exercise used to be thought of as ineffective. However, existing studies indicate aerobic exercise later in life lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease-related mortality. Yet, the specific factors contributing to this effect have not been completely understood. Researchers examined whether regular exercise with aging may prevent DNA damage and telomere dysfunction. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of chromosomes. In this study, exercise ...
Heavy alcohol use may increase middle-aged adults’ risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to research to be presented this week at the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California. The Summit is the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society (APS). Heavy alcohol use is defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as five or more drinks per day or 15 or more drinks per week for men and, for women, more than four drinks per day or eight or more drinks per week. Heavy alcohol use can diminish liver and pancreas function. Reduced function of these organs in turn can affect control of glucose (blood sugar) in the body. In regard to heavy drinking, research suggests young adults do not typically experience severe impairment of fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance. However, as the U.S. population ages, the number of people that develop ...
Diagonal Therapeutics develops agonist antibodies to treat rare cardiovascular conditions. Using artificial intelligence, the startup’s technology sorts through billions of antibody/receptor combinations to identify the ones that reactivate signaling pathways lost to disease.In a drug discovery career spanning more than two decades, Alex Lugovskoy has seen a lot of antibodies come and go. The vast majority of them work by inhibiting a cellular function. Lugovskoy, now the CEO of startup Diagonal Therapeutics, said he long hoped someone would come up with a way to develop antibodies that activate their targets. With each passing year, no one did. So he took up the challenge himself. Diagonal uses computational and experimental techniques to understand what happens when an antibody binds to a receptor and which binding combinations will yield the desired effect. After developing its platform for the past two years, the startup this past week pulled back the curtain on its ...
