MIT study reveals non-invasive treatment holds promise for treating ‘chemo brain’

The gamma treatment also shows potential for treating patients living with neurological diseases Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have shown that a non-invasive treatment called gamma treatment could protect cancer patients from “chemo brain,” memory impairment and other cognitive effects of chemotherapy. Chemo brain is a term used to describe thinking and memory problems that a patient may experience before, during or after cancer treatment. Originally developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the treatment works to stimulate gamma-frequency brain waves, involving exposure to light and sound with a frequency of 40 hertz. In the new study, MIT researchers used mouse models, which evaluated a chemotherapy drug known as cisplatin, often used to treat testicular and ovarian cancers, for five days and then took it off for five days and repeated it. One group received chemotherapy only, while another group was also given 40-hertz light and sound therapy ...

NHS launches BRCA testing programme for people of Jewish descent

Individuals with Jewish ancestry are six times more likely to carry a genetic fault The NHS has announced the launch of a new BRCA gene testing programme to identify cancer risk early in individuals with Jewish ancestry. People with Jewish ancestry are about six times more likely to carry a genetic fault, which can increase the risk of developing some cancers, than the general population. Across the next two years, the national NHS Jewish BRCA Testing Programme plans to identify thousands more people carrying faults in the BRCA genes so they can seek early access to surveillance and prevention services. In alignment with the health services drive to catch tumours earlier, when they are easier to treat, anyone over the age of 18 years with Jewish ancestry will be eligible to receive a simple genetic saliva test to look for the presence of BRCA1 or BRCA2 faults. BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

Bristol Myers Squibb to Pay Up to $8.4 Billion to Codevelop Antibody-Drug Conjugate With SystImmune

Pharmaceutical Executive Editorial Staff Bristol Myers Squibb will pay $800 million upfront to SystImmune for the rights to codevelop and sell a potentially first-in-class bispecific antibody-drug conjugate that has shown promise treating non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has reached an agreement with SystImmune for the rights to codevelop and sell a potentially first-in-class EGFRxHER3 bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in a deal that could exceed $8 billion. As part of the agreement, BMS will pay $800 million upfront to SystImmune and up to $500 million in contingent near-term payments.1 Should certain developmental, regulatory, and sales performance milestones be achieved, SystImmune would be eligible for additional payments that would bring the total for the agreement to approximately $8.4 billion.1 “Our collaboration with SystImmune allows us to strengthen our leadership in oncology and is consistent with our strategy to diversify beyond immuno-oncology to transform patient care,” said ...

As chemotherapy shortage ebbs and flows, attention shifts to long-term solutions

It’s been about 10 months since FDA inspectors rebuked a production plant in India that made popular platinum-based chemotherapies, kicking off a chain reaction of drug shortages that continues to jeopardize cancer care in the U.S.While the White House recently announced that overseas importations and other efforts have increased U.S. supplies of carboplatin and cisplatin, not all clinics are able to access the drugs, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s (ASCO’s) chief medical officer Julie Gralow, M.D. Even as supplies recover around the country, a “certain set” of cancer clinics are still unable to get their hands on the medicines, Gralow said in an interview. The disparity in availability reflects the disproportionate impact the shortage has had on patients based on factors such as location or socioeconomic status, Gralow added. It’s often smaller sites that can’t secure the drugs. While bigger hospitals may have them, those sites often ...

BMS Culls Two Mid-Stage, Four Early-Stage Clinical Programs

By Connor Lynch Pictured: Bristol Myers Squibb in New Jersey/iStock, arlutz73 Bristol Myers Squibb has trimmed its development pipeline, announcing at an R&D Day on Thursday that the company would be cutting two mid-stage and four early-stage clinical programs for efficacy and safety reasons. Two Phase II clinical programs were on the BMS chopping block, including an investigational asset targeting heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), a small interfering RNA (siRNA) for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which was licensed from Nitto Denko for an upfront payment of $100 million in 2016. The compound inhibits expression of the heat shock protein, which is associated with excessive collagen buildup such as occurs in NASH, which is the most severe form of fatty liver disease. In 2019, BMS completed a Phase II trial investigating two different doses of the siRNA in 61 patients with scar tissue buildup post-hepatitis C infection. Neither dose performed better than ...
