The non-invasive tool can also improve patient stratification and monitor disease progression Researchers from King’s College London (KCL) have developed a deep learning framework for a non-invasive brain-age prediction tool for the early diagnosis of neurological diseases. The study built and made available a set of models for clinical use after training multiple brain models from a variety of magnetic resonance image (MRI) types. Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, are conditions that affect the brain as well as the nerves found throughout the human body and spinal cord. By comparing patients’ brain ages against their chronological ages, numerous neurological and psychiatric conditions can be identified, helping to predict future health outcomes for patients. Researchers collected over 81,000 patients’ head MRI examinations from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust between 2008 and 2019. After pre-training models, ...
Don Tracy, Associate Editor Teens to be included in both placebo and open label studies for QRX003, a potential treatment for Netherton syndrome. Today, Quoin Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA has given approval to include teenagers aged 14 years and older in two ongoing clinical trials for QRX003, a potential treatment for Netherton syndrome (NS). According to a press release, this marks the first time that teen patients with NS will have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials under an Investigational New Drug Application (IND).

On February 28, 2010, AbbVie and OSE Immunotherapeutics, an immunotherapeutics company, announced a strategic partnership to develop OSE-230, a monoclonal antibody designed to address serious chronic inflammatory diseases, which is currently in preclinical studies. OSE-230 is a first-of-its-kind monoclonal antibody designed to activate the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) target ChemR23, which may provide a novel mechanism for relieving chronic inflammation by regulating macrophage and neutrophil function. Dr. Jonathon Sedgwick, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Discovery Research at AbbVie, said: “This collaboration underscores our commitment to expanding our immunology portfolio, with the ultimate goal of raising the standard of care for patients suffering from inflammatory diseases worldwide. We look forward to applying our expertise in immunology drug development to advance the development of OSE-230. Nicolas Poirier, Chief Executive Officer of OSE Immunotherapeutics, said: “We are pleased to partner with AbbVie, a global leader in the development and commercialization of ...

Today (1st March), the official website of the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the NMPA announced that the PM8002 injection applied by Biotheus is planned to be included in the breakthrough therapy category, and the indication is the first-line treatment of inoperable locally advanced/recurrent metastatic triple-negative breast cancer with albumin-bound paclitaxel for combined injection. Public information shows that PM8002 is an anti-PD-L1/VEGF bispecific antibody independently developed by Biotheus. BioNTech has reached a cooperation agreement of more than US$1 billion with Biotheus to obtain the development, production and commercialization rights of this product worldwide (except Greater China). PM8002 is a bispecific antibody drug candidate consisting of a humanized anti-PD-L1 mono-antibody (VHH) fused to an anti-VEGF-A IgG1 antibody containing an Fc-silent mutation. This design can enrich PM8002 molecules into the tumor environment and reduce the systemic side effects caused by systemic VEGF blockade. According to an earlier press release fromBiotheus, PM8002 ...
Davy James The FDA granted Allecra with a five-year marketing exclusivity extension for Exblifep (cefepime/enmetazobactam) through the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act. The FDA has approved Allecra Therapeutics’ Exblifep (cefepime/enmetazobactam) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including the kidney infection pyelonephritis, in patients aged 18 years and older.1 The FDA also granted Allecra with a five-year marketing exclusivity extension for the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination through the Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now Act (GAIN Act), which is legislation that incentivizes the development of new anti-infective treatments. “Receiving FDA approval is a tremendous achievement for Allecra and a testament to the hard work and dedication of a small, yet highly focused team of individuals.

Sanofi, which is leading development of the Denali Therapeutics-partnered molecule, disclosed little about the clinical trial results in ALS. But this Phase 2 failure follows the 2020 clinical trial pause of a different partnered molecule that addresses the same target. By FRANK VINLUAN Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis develops through multiple pathways, so drug research in this neuromuscular disorder has pursued multiple targets. One of those targets faces some doubts after an ALS drug candidate from partners Sanofi and Denali Therapeutics failed to meet the goal of a mid-stage clinical trial. Denali disclosed the Phase 2 clinical trial failure in a Friday regulatory filing. The South San Francisco-based biotech said Sanofi informed it that the brain-penetrating drug, known at Denali as DNL788 and renamed SAR443820 by the pharmaceutical giant, did not meet the main endpoint of showing a change in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised, a scoring assessment for evaluating symptoms in ...
