Pharmaceutical Executive Editorial Staff NX-5948 is under evaluation for for adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma following at least two lines of therapy that includes a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The FDA has granted Fast Track Designation to Nurix Therapeutics, Inc’s investigational Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor NX-5948 for adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) following at least two lines of therapy that includes a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor.1 NX-5948 has previously demonstrated that it is highly potent across a range of tumor cell lines with BTK inhibitor–resistance, which is an important treatment consideration for heavily pretreated patients with CLL and SLL, according to Nurix. “Fast Track designation for NX-5948 is an important recognition of the unmet patient need in CLL, particularly in the growing number of patients whose cancer has progressed ...
Swiss company Synendos therapeutics has been given the go-ahead from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to advance its lead candidate, SYT-510, into a Phase I clinical trial to treat neuropsychiatric disorders. The first-in-class inhibitor targets endocannabinoids—naturally occurring, lipid-based neurotransmitters that help to maintain homeostasis. SYT-510 is said to inhibit endocannabinoid reuptake, which raises the amount of those neurotransmitters available in the synaptic cleft and increases neurotransmission. In the upcoming planned Phase I first-in-human trial, the focus will be on assessing the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy patients receiving increasing single doses of SYT-510. Basel headquartered-Synendos was spun out of the University of Bern in 2019, raising $27.8m in two Series A funding rounds in 2020 and 2021, co-led by Kurma Partners, Sunstone Life Science Ventures, and Ysios Capital. The company secured a two-year Eurostars grant in 2021, a European Union (EU) funding scheme, named the EndoCARE programme, to propel ...

Encased within a complex network of specialized blood vessels, the brain remains the body’s most protected organ. This intricate structure, while protective against external threats, poses significant challenges for researchers seeking to understand gene expression dynamics and their link to diseases. Addressing this challenge, scientists have now introduced a noninvasive method to track gene expression in the brain, potentially transforming research in brain development, cognitive function, and neurological disorders. The team of scientists at Rice University (Houston, TX, USA) has developed a groundbreaking class of molecules named released markers of activity (RMAs). These RMAs offer a noninvasive solution to measure gene expression in the brain via a simple blood test. Traditionally, assessing gene expression in the brain has been limited to post-mortem analysis or less sensitive and specific modern neuroimaging techniques. The RMA platform, however, introduces a synthetic gene expression reporter into the brain, which synthesizes a protein capable of ...

On January 11, Fosun Kate and Chenshi Health, a health management and comprehensive patient service platform under Sinopharm Holdings, jointly launched the first lymphoma pay-per-therapeutic value plan for Ekeda in China. Eligible patients who fail to achieve complete remission (CR) after treatment with Ekeda, a CAR-T treatment that originally cost $1.2 million, will receive a rebate of up to RMB600,000. The program will be China’s first innovative payment model for lymphoma drugs paid by the value of efficacy, and Ekeda will be China’s first bioinnovative drug paid by the value of efficacy. “If the complete remission indicator is not reached at three months, even if there is efficacy but the efficacy is not as good as complete remission, half of their out-of-pocket drug purchase price will still be refunded under the program. If this patient’s medication is completely self-funded, then the maximum return is 600,000 RMB for the medication. If ...
Neuralace Medical announced today that it received FDA clearance for its chronic painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) treatment. San Diego–based Neuralace says this marks the first-ever FDA clearance of a non-invasive, magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) treatment for PDN. The company says its Axon Therapy could offer “new hope” to millions with the condition. Axon Therapy uses mPNS to deliver a quick, painless and non-invasive treatment in sessions lasting just 13.5 minutes, according to Neuralace. Each session utilizes magnetic pulses to provide relief for a potential improvement in pain management. Neuralace said a recent trial of 71 patients demonstrated efficiency, plus significant improvements in subject outcomes. The company believes its therapy represents a paradigm shift in PDN treatment. Axon Therapy offers a non-pharmacological and non-invasive option that could reduce dependence on medications and their associated side effects. The company says FDA clearance paves the way for broader access to innovative pain ...
Recently, the results of the prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II clinical study of carilizumab in combination with apatinib and albumin paclitaxel in advanced lung adenocarcinoma (CAPAP-lung), led by Prof. Wu Lin of Hunan Cancer Hospital, have been published in The Lancet (IF=15.1) and eClinicalMedicine (IF=15.1), which is a subseries of The Lancet. eClinicalMedicine (IF=15.1).1 The results of the study showed that the first-line treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma negative for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations with karelizumab in combination with apatinib (the “double-Ai” combination) and albumin paclitaxel demonstrated a clinically meaningful antitumor effect. Demonstrated clinically meaningful antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile with low hematological toxicity. This study is the first exploration of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with platinum-free chemotherapy in combination with immunologic agents and anti-vascular drugs, and is expected to provide new options for first-line treatment of EGFR/ALK ...
