Noninvasive Technology Detects Rare Cancer Cells in Blood

Historically, analyzing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) required invasive methods like blood draws, which often missed rare CTCs or multicellular CTC clusters (CTCCs) known for their high metastatic potential. Now, a groundbreaking technology offers a new way for researchers to monitor and understand the spread of cancer within the body. A collaborative effort between researchers at Northeastern University (Boston, MA, USA) and Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH, USA) has led to the development of an innovative device known as “diffuse in vivo flow cytometry” (DiFC). This technology facilitates the noninvasive detection and counting of rare cancer cells circulating in the bloodstream. By utilizing highly scattered light to probe large blood vessels, DiFC overcomes the shortcomings of traditional tests to enable the noninvasive analysis of larger peripheral blood volumes and detection of rare cancer cells. The team’s pioneering two-color DiFC system can simultaneously identify two distinct populations of cancer cell in real time ...

FDA Approves GSK’s Arexvy to Prevent Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Adults Aged 50-59 with Increased Risk

Don Tracy, Associate Editor Arexvy receives expanded indication to include adults aged 59 years and younger to prevent RSV lower respiratory tract disease. GSK’s Arexvy (RSV Vaccine, Adjuvanted) has been approved by the FDA for an expanded indication to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) in adults aged 50-59 years with an increased risk. The approval for this age group was based on encouraging results from a Phase III trial (NCT05590403) that evaluated the immune response and safety of Arexvy in adults aged 50-59, including those with underlying medical conditions. Arexvy was previously approved for adults aged 60 years and older for the same purpose in May 2023. Additionally, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended its use through shared clinical decision-making.1 “[This] approval reflects the importance of broadening the benefits of RSV immunization to adults aged 50-59 who are at increased risk. For those ...

Qilu Pharmaceutical’s Three Clinical Studies on Cancer Immunotherapy Presented at ASCO 2024

JINAN, China, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting convened from May 31 to June 4, 2024 in Chicago, USA, adopting a hybrid format. Among the presented works, three clinical studies from Qilu Pharmaceutical were selected for poster sessions. These studies introduced novel immunotherapeutic agents, specifically QLF31907, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1/4-1BB; iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, a MabPair product targeting PD-1/CTLA-4; and iparomlimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1. The research involved treatments for advanced solid tumors and lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, as well as solid tumors characterized by either DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) deficiency or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). QLF31907, developed by Qilu Pharmaceutical, combines two mechanisms: blockade of PD-L1 to restore T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling, while binding to 4-1BB to provide costimulatory signals essential for T-cell activation. This dual-action mechanism fosters T-cell proliferation and activation, enhancing the anti-tumor immune response. The study, led ...

India’s DCGI approves Orchid Pharma’s API Enmetazobactam

Orchid Pharma has secured approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market its new chemical entity (NCE), the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) Enmetazobactam. The DCGI also approved the production and marketing of the finished dosage form (FDF) of Cefepime and Enmetazobactam as a dry powder injectable. The antibiotic drug combination is specifically indicated for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including the treatment of acute pyelonephritis. Other indications comprise hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), ventilator-associated pneumonia, and bacteremia when associated with or suspected to be linked to either cUTI or HAP. Orchid Pharma’s new combination drug addresses the urgent need for effective treatments against severe infections caused by resistant bacteria, a critical concern in the global health community’s fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The United Nations and the World Health Organization have declared AMR to be a “silent pandemic”, attributing to five million deaths in 2019. The company ...

Sanofi’s Sarclisa shows significant promise in treating myeloma

Sanofi’s Sarclisa, a novel treatment for multiple myeloma, has demonstrated a substantial improvement in progression-free survival for patients ineligible for transplant. The phase 3 IMROZ study revealed that Sarclisa (also known as isatuximab), combined with a VRd regimen, reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 40% compared to VRd alone. The study, which was presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, marks a significant advancement in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The full data, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, will inform future regulatory submissions. Professor Graham Jackson, a haematologist and advisor for Myeloma UK, highlighted the importance of the findings: “Effective first-line treatment is essential in managing and delaying disease progression for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. He added: “The significant progression-free survival demonstrated in the IMROZ study reinforces the potential of isatuximab-VRd to improve outcomes for newly ...

New Cancer Detection Method as Quick and Easy as Blood Test

Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking method to detect cancer, potentially simplifying the process to just taking a blood test. This technique, which boasts a 98.7% accuracy rate, combines optical imaging technology with fluorescent imaging. The method’s capability to identify cancer at its initial stages could significantly enhance the effectiveness of treatments. The highly accurate method developed by a research team at the University of Houston (Houston, TX, USA) enables the examination of extracellular vesicles or EVs—nanometer-sized membrane sacs present in the bloodstream that can transport various cargoes, including proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites. In 2020, the research team introduced PANAROMA, an optical imaging technology featuring a glass slide covered with gold nanodiscs. This setup permits the observation of light transmission changes and the determination of nanoparticles as small as 25 nanometers in diameter. The technology’s name, PANORAMA, stands for Plasmonic Nano-aperture Label-free Imaging, highlighting its critical features. For this particular ...

POC STI Test Shortens Time from ED Arrival to Test Results

In a 2024 sexually transmitted infections (STIs) surveillance report by the World Health Organization (WHO), over 2.5 million cases were recorded, alongside a rise in the inappropriate use of antibiotics to treat these STIs. This misuse has contributed to the development of antimicrobial-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), prompting WHO to issue new guidelines for diagnosing STIs, including the use of point-of-care (POC) tests, focusing particularly on reducing antimicrobial resistance. The increasing STI rates have posed a significant challenge to hospital emergency departments, as traditional tests do not yield results quickly enough to guide treatment decisions during a patient’s visit. Consequently, clinicians often must decide on treatment before obtaining definitive results, exacerbating the issue of antibiotic resistance. Now, a new study has demonstrated that a POC polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test can reduce the time from specimen collection to STI result to just 47 minutes per patient, compared to the ...
