Proteomics Platform Identifies Proteins in Blood to Give Cancer Warning 7 Years before Diagnosis

To improve cancer survival rates, it’s crucial to understand the disease during its initial stages. Research involving data from thousands of cancer patients has uncovered exciting findings about how blood proteins can influence cancer risk, highlighting the need for further investigation to determine which proteins could be effectively utilized for prevention. Researchers have now employed a cutting-edge proteomics platform to identify blood proteins that could potentially provide a seven-year advance warning for various types of cancer. Their study findings underscore the significant potential of proteomics to transform cancer detection, enabling earlier interventions that could lead to improved treatment success and possibly even prevention. In this groundbreaking study recently published in Nature Communications, the researchers used Olink Holding AB’s (Uppsala, Sweden) next-generation Olink Explore proteomics platform to examine blood samples from over 44,000 individuals. They successfully identified 371 proteins associated with 19 different types of cancer, including 107 proteins that could ...

Ipsen, Genfit Drug That Missed in MASH Wins FDA Approval in a Much Rarer Liver Disease

Iqirvo failed as a treatment for the fatty liver disease MASH, but the drug is now FDA approved in primary biliary cholangitis. An Intercept Pharmaceuticals drug already treats this rare liver disease and Gilead Sciences is poised to compete with its PBC drug approaching an FDA decision this summer. By Frank VinluanA rare liver disease that can progress to organ failure now has a new FDA-approved therapy, a drug from Ipsen that brings a novel approach to treating the chronic condition. The Ipsen drug, elafibranor, treats primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The regulatory decision announced late Monday makes the drug just the third approved therapy for the chronic liver disorder, but competition in this indication is heating up. Paris-based Ipsen will market its new product under the brand name Iqirvo. PBC is an autoimmune condition in which bile and toxins build up in the liver, leading to inflammation and damage to ...

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and OncoHost partner for renal cell carcinoma research

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and OncoHost have partnered to research and identify biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a form of kidney cancer. The collaboration aims to create a proteomic plasma profile by providing OncoHost with materials using Dana-Farber’s repository of patient plasma samples and clinical data. According to Cancer Research UK, kidney cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 4% of all new cancer cases. RCC occurs when malignant cells are found in the lining of tubules in the kidney and there is currently no blood test available for these patients to help make personalised treatment recommendations, explained Wenxin Xu, physician, Dana-Farber and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. For most RCC patients, immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy (ICI) has been used to treat the disease. However, ICIs may not benefit all patients and can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The PROPHETIC trial will ...

New paediatric blood test to prevent sudden death from hereditary heart condition

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare condition that affects up to 1,000 children in the UK Researchers from University College London (UCL) and Great Ormond Street Hospital have developed a new blood test that could identify children with a potentially fatal, hereditary heart condition. The research, co-funded by LifeArc and Action Medical Research, was published in the journal Circulation: Genomics and Precision Medicine. In the UK, up to 1,000 children are living with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a rare hereditary condition that causes the thickening of the heart muscle. Over time, the heart can no longer take in or pump out enough blood to supply the body’s needs, which can cause sudden death in children and young people. Results from the study showed that the new test successfully acted as a marker for HCM.

Skye Bioscience Falls Short in Glaucoma Trial, But It’s Full Steam Ahead for Obesity Program

Skye Bioscience’s nimacimab blocks CB1, the same receptor targeted by an obesity drug candidate now in the hands of Novo Nordisk. But Skye contends its Phase 2-ready antibody drug has several advantages over the small molecule that joined Novo’s pipeline in a deal valued at $1 billion. By Frank VinluanDespite some evidence that cannabis reduces intraocular eye pressure from glaucoma, the ophthalmology community hasn’t embraced its use. One reason cited: The short duration of effect means a patient must smoke or ingest a lot of marijuana to maintain its effect throughout the day. Skye Bioscience’s ambitions to bring glaucoma patients these therapeutic benefits in a twice-daily eye drop have missed the mark. The clinical-stage company is now turning its focus to another drug that targets the same receptor in a different way for a different indication — weight loss. In doing so, Skye aims to show it can compete with ...
