Blood biomarkers in TGF-β pathway identify hidden liver cancer risk

A new research paper was published in Genes & Cancer on February 5, 2023, entitled, “Mechanistically based blood proteomic markers in the TGF-β pathway stratify risk of hepatocellular cancer in patients with cirrhosis.” Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of death from cancer worldwide but is often diagnosed at an advanced incurable stage. Yet, despite the urgent need for blood-based biomarkers for early detection, few studies capture ongoing biology to identify risk-stratifying biomarkers. In this new study, researchers Xiyan Xiang, Krishanu Bhowmick, Kirti Shetty, Kazufumi Ohshiro, Xiaochun Yang, Linda L. Wong, Herbert Yu, Patricia S. Latham, Sanjaya K. Satapathy, Christina Brennan, Richard J. Dima, Nyasha Chambwe, Gulru Sharifova, Fellanza Cacaj, Sahara John, James M. Crawford, Hai Huang, Srinivasan Dasarathy, Adrian R. Krainer, Aiwu R. He, Richard L. Amdur, and Lopa Mishra, from The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, University of Maryland, University ...

Study reveals AI can predict patients’ survival in glioblastoma

The aggressive brain cancer is responsible for over 3,000 cases in the UK every year Researchers from King’s College London (KCL) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model that can predict adult brain cancer patients’ rates of survival after receiving radiotherapy treatment. Published in Neuro-Oncology, researchers applied deep learning to predict whether glioblastoma patients would survive eight months. Responsible for around 3,200 cases every year in the UK, glioblastoma is a very aggressive and difficult-to-treat cancer, with just one in four patients surviving over one year after diagnosis. Currently, patients are regularly and routinely tested to see whether chemotherapy is effective or not. However, some patients can suffer from harmful side effects as a result of chemotherapy. Instead, by giving patients an instantaneous and accurate prediction from a single routine MRI scan, the AI will allow doctors to identify patients who would not benefit from chemotherapy and try a different ...

New programme shown to help dementia patients live independently

The neurodegenerative condition currently affects over 944,000 people in the UK A new programme led by Queen Mary University of London and funded by the Alzheimer’s Society has received positive trial results that could benefit carers and patients living with dementia. The New Interventions for Independence in Dementia (NIDUS-Family) programme was successful in supporting patients and carers to achieve their goals compared to those who received usual care. Affecting more than 944,000 people in the UK, dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that impairs a person’s ability to remember, think or make decisions on a daily basis. Set up at University College London and now running at Queen Mary’s University London, NIDUS-Family aims to understand how to support carers who look after those with dementia at home. Researchers tested the programme on a small number of participant pairs with over 300 people living with dementia and their unpaid carers. The first ...

Regeneron’s linvoseltamab application accepted for review

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals marketing authorisation application (MAA) for linvoseltamab has received acceptance for review from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to treat adults with r/r MM. Linvoseltamab is a bispecific antibody designed to target and destroy cancer cells by bridging the B cell maturation antigen on MM cells with CD3 (cluster of differentiation 3, a protein complex)-expressing T cells. The MAA submission is based on findings from the Phase I/II LINKER-MM1 clinical trial of linvoseltamab in r/r MM patients. The open-label, multicentre, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study is designed to evaluate the investigational drug in patients who have undergone multiple prior treatments. All 282 enrolled trial subjects had received a minimum of three lines of therapy or were considered triple refractory. They subsequently received linvoseltamab through an initial step-up dosing regimen, followed by a full dose. The completed Phase I portion of the trial evaluated the tolerability, safety ...

Hemogenyx gets reprieve as FDA lifts clinical hold on AML CAR-T therapy

Hemogenyx has received the all-clear from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin a Phase I clinical trial of its acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-therapy in the US. In June 2023, the US FDA placed a clinical hold on the trial for HEMO-CAR-T, requesting additional information from Hemogenyx after a splicing deficiency during manufacture of the lentivirus used to produce CAR-T cells. Hemogenyx produced a plan, supported by laboratory tests to address FDA’s concerns in August 2023, which was accepted the following month. In January, the London, UK-based biopharma issued a complete response to the agency to lift the hold. Hemogenyx’s stock price has increased by 62% following the announcement of the lifting of the hold today (9 February) since the market close yesterday.CAR-T therapies have been hitting the headlines recently after the FDA launched an investigation into the incidence of potentially associated secondary ...

Novo Holdings acquires Catalent for $16.5bn

Novo Holdings, the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s holding and investment company, declared plans for a $16.5bn acquisition of Catalent as the company expands its manufacturing capabilities. In the merger, Novo Holdings will receive all outstanding shares of Catalent for $63.50 per share in cash.

RegenxBio advances two candidates to make waves in the CNS space

US-based biotech RegenxBio is seeing a pivotal Phase III study on the horizon as its Phase I/II AFFINITY study of RGX-202 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) completes patient enrolment for the second dose level. In a 7 February press release, the company announced that of the three patients treated with dose level 1 of RGX-202 in the AFFINITY trial (NCT05693142), the third patient demonstrated by far the largest increase (83.4%) in microdystrophin expression compared to control at three months. In DMD, a mutation in the dystrophin gene normally responsible for protecting muscle fibres from progressively breaking down contributes to the condition. Microdystrophin is an abbreviated yet functional version of dystrophin, and its expression is often used as a surrogate measure to evaluate therapies. The patient also showed a decrease (93%) in serum creatinine kinase (CK) levels from baseline at ten weeks. The company expects to initiate a pivotal study for ...
