Phesi’s AI-driven Trial Accelerator platform contains over 100 million patients

The platform delivers digitalised patient data to improve clinical trials and development Phesi has announced that its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Trial Accelerator platform has reached a critical milestone of now containing global data from more than 100 million patients. The volume will allow sponsors to access data on patients with over 4,000 indications, plan more successful trials and simulate clinical development activity more accurately. Phesi’s Trial Accelerator works to deliver digitalised patient data to enhance or replace those collected from clinical trials. Across the past two decades, data has been collated from product and disease registries, electronic health records, medical claims data and data gathered from around 100,000 dynamically updated sources. The platform powers the Phesi Patient Access Score, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Data Service and the Digital Patient Profile. “We have been gathering and structuring a wealth of data for sponsors and clinical trial planners,” said Dr Gen Li, ...

Royal Marsden to implement RaySearch’s online adaptive radiation therapy system

OART is increasingly emerging to assess and adapt treatment for cancer patients The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is set to implement online adaptive radiation therapy (OART) with RaySearch’s treatment planning system, RayStation, and oncology information system, RayCare. OART is a novel treatment for cancer patients that is increasingly emerging to assess patients’ anatomy, with a treatment plan adapted from an original reference plan with the patient on the treatment couch. The Royal Marsden has been using RayStation for conventional treatment planning since 2016 and most recently acquired two additional Radixact treatment delivery machines from Accuray to be used for OART. Daily-acquired patient images are used by OART to optimise treatment plans by considering the changes in the patients’ anatomy. OART puts high demand on the acquired images and an efficient information flow between the treatment planning system, the oncology information system and the treatment control system. RaySearch and Accuray’s ...

US study reveals age-related skin changes could contribute to melanoma metastases

Around 200,000 people in the US are expected to be diagnosed with the skin cancer this year Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have revealed that age-related changes in the skin could also contribute to higher rates of melanoma metastases, a form of skin cancer, in older people. Recognised as the deadliest form of skin cancer, according to the Melanoma Research Foundation, melanoma is often caused by too much sun exposure. In 2024, it is estimated that 200,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with the condition. Published in Nature Aging, the study showed that increased stiffness in ageing skin increases the release of ICAM1, a protein that regulates endothelial and epithelial barrier function, stimulating blood vessel growth in the tumour and promoting its growth. Researchers treated older mice with melanoma with drugs that block ICAM1 by reducing a gene known as HAPLN1, which indirectly increases ICAM1 ...

ICR awarded $25m by Cancer Grand Challenges to research solid tumours in children

Globally, cancer is currently the most leading cause of death due to disease among children The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) has announced it has been selected to receive a Cancer Grand Challenges (CGC) award of up to $25m to research the challenges of solid tumours in children. First launched in 2020 by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), CGC now brings together 1,200 researchers and 16 teams worldwide to take on 13 of “cancer’s toughest challenges”. Currently the leading cause of death due to disease among children globally, most outcomes for some childhood cancers have not improved in more than three decades. The CGC team PROTECT aims to explore new, less invasive and more targeted treatments for children living with cancers. For the next five years, the PROTECT team, involving experts from the ICR and the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg in Germany, will use ...

The IND Application of Henlius’ Novel Anti-GARP/TGF-β1 mAb HLX6018 Approved by NMPA

Shanghai, China, Mar 12th, 2024 – Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (2696.HK) announced the investigational new drug (IND) application for clinical trial of HLX6018，a novel anti-GARP/TGF-β1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) independently developed by the company, was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). HLX6018 is the first innovative product of Henlius in the treatment field of chronic inflammatory diseases. Currently, no mAb targeting GARP/TGF-β1 has been approved for marketing globally. Fibrosis is a pathological process characterised by persistent tissue scars which attributed to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). This condition can be induced by a variety of stimuli such as infections, autoimmune reactions, radiation, and tissue injury. Common fibrosis-related diseases include IPF, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), myocardial infarction (MI), etc. Among them, IPF is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease with unknown etiology, and was ...

BeiGene’s Brukinsa granted FDA accelerated approval for advanced follicular lymphoma

BeiGene’s Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) has been granted accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. The BTK inhibitor has specifically been authorised for use alongside Roche’s anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody Gazyva (obinutuzumab) in adult patients who have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. The FDA’s decision was supported by positive results from the mid-stage ROSEWOOD study, which demonstrated an overall response rate of 69% for the Brukinsa combination arm compared to 46% for Gazyva alone. An 18-month duration of response of 69% for the Brukinsa combination was also observed, BeiGene said, adding that safety results were consistent with previous studies of both medicines. Mehrdad Mobasher, chief medical officer, haematology at BeiGene, said: “This accelerated approval of Brukinsa represents an important advancement, offering the first and only BTK inhibitor treatment for follicular lymphoma patients in the US who have either not ...
