Game-Changing Blood Test for Stroke Detection Could Bring Life-Saving Care to Patients

Stroke is the primary cause of disability globally and ranks as the second leading cause of death. However, timely early intervention can prevent severe outcomes. Most strokes are ischemic, resulting from a blockage that disrupts blood flow to the brain. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes, a severe form of ischemic stroke, occur when a major artery in the brain is obstructed. The brain cells begin to die within minutes due to the deprivation of oxygen and nutrients. LVO strokes are critical emergencies that necessitate rapid treatment with mechanical thrombectomy, a procedure that removes the obstruction. Now, a new test combines blood-based biomarkers with a clinical score to accurately identify patients suffering from LVO strokes. Mechanical thrombectomy has revolutionized stroke treatment, potentially restoring individuals to full health as though they never experienced a stroke. The sooner this procedure is applied, the better the outcomes for patients. This groundbreaking technology, developed by ...

Amgen and AstraZeneca ponder label expansion for Tezspire in COPD

Amgen and AstraZeneca have highlighted the potential of Tezspire (tezepelumab) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a subgroup of patients in a Phase IIb study even though the trial missed the primary endpoint. The therapy failed to show a significant reduction in the annual rate of moderate to severe exacerbations compared to the placebo, the trial’s primary endpoint. The data from the placebo-controlled Phase IIa COURSE trial (NCT04039113) was presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference taking place in San Diego, US, from 16 to 21 May. However, a pre-determined subgroup analysis of COPD patients based on the levels of eosinophils, measured as baseline eosinophil count (BEC), showed significant reductions in COPD exacerbations. The therapy also demonstrated a 48% reduction in severe exacerbations compared to the placebo. Patients who received Tezspire while having a BEC of 150 cells/μL or more, which is associated with increased COPD-related emergency ...

Liverpool and McMaster University announce £300,000 strategic research partnership

Areas include health research across life stages, from paediatrics to health ageing and resilience The University of Liverpool and McMaster University have announced an institutional strategic partnership, offering £300,000 in seed funding to nine selected projects to support the development of collaborations in key areas of research. The areas of research include health research across life stages, from paediatrics to healthy ageing and resilience, along with social sciences, humanities and research, as well as development in port-related activities. The projects selected were announced by McMaster at a celebratory event with representatives from the University of Liverpool in attendance. The three health research projects selected focus on innovative antibiotic discovery to combat invasive Salmonella in Africa, engineering perfusable vascular organoids for ageing and chronic disease studies and developing pharmacogenetic polygenic risk scores using machine learning methods. David Farrar, president, McMaster, commented: “We’re proud to partner with the University of Liverpool to ...

Weak brain circuit connection found to influence overeating and obesity

Why can some people easily stop eating when they are full and others can’t, which can lead to obesity? A Northwestern Medicine study has found one reason may be a newly discovered structural connection between two regions in the brain that appears to be involved in regulating feeding behavior. These regions involve the sense of smell and behavior motivation. The weaker the connection between these two brain regions, the higher a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI), the Northwestern scientists report. The investigators discovered this connection between the olfactory tubercle, an olfactory cortical region, which is part of the brain’s reward system, and a midbrain region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG), involved in motivated behavior in response to negative feelings like pain and threat and potentially in suppression of eating. The study will be published May 16 in the Journal of Neuroscience. Previous research at Northwestern by co-author Thorsten Kahnt, now ...

EmpiRx Announces New AI-Powered Platform as Part of Push to Change PBMs

Mike Hollan The platform will use AI technology to provide pharmacists with more tools. The relationship between the pharma industry, pharmacists, and customers continues to evolve. EmpiRx Health, a PBM company headquartered in NJ, announced that it is launching a new AI-powered platform.1 The new platform is called Clinically, and it will use AI technology to help pharmacists with claims adjudication, clinical reviews, and other features that EmpiRx says will put the pharmacists at the center of the PBM model. In a press release, EmpiRx’s CEO Danny Sanchez said, “Our new Clinically platform clearly demonstrates EmpiRx Health’s strong commitment to transforming the pharmacy care industry by creating the PBM of the future – one that’s already providing the highest quality service to customers, patients, and advisor partners. This PBM revolution was long overdue. Far from helping plan sponsors to manage and lower drug costs, the traditional PBM model, which prioritizes ...

Roche targets obesity market with early positive trial data

Roche is looking to share in the windfall from the sales in obesity therapies as it announces positive results from the Phase Ib trial of its investigational obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) therapy. CT-388 is a once-weekly subcutaneous dual glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. It selectively targets two incretin receptors that control food intake, energy absorption and assimilation. The therapy has a similar mechanism of action as Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro (tirzepatide), which generated $1.81bn in sales in Q1 this year, according to Lilly’s financials. Following today’s news, the Swiss company’s share was up by over 3.5% in trading today on the Swiss stock market. Roche’s market cap is SFr190.6bn ($210.8bn). The placebo-controlled Phase Ib trial (NCT04838405) enrolled approximately 96 overweight or obese participants with or without T2D. The participants in the CT-388 group achieved a mean placebo-adjusted weight loss of 18.8% at 24 ...

Ultrasound-Aided Blood Testing Detects Cancer Biomarkers from Cells

Ultrasound imaging serves as a noninvasive method to locate and monitor cancerous tumors effectively. However, crucial details about the cancer, such as the specific types of cells and genetic mutations involved, typically require invasive biopsies, which can cause harm. Now, a research team has developed a new method to utilize ultrasound for gently extracting this genetic information. Researchers at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB, Canada) have been investigating the use of intense ultrasound in releasing biological indicators of disease, or biomarkers, from cells. These biomarkers include elements like miRNA, mRNA, DNA, and various genetic mutations, all of which are critical for identifying the cancer type and guiding treatment decisions. The ultrasound technique releases these biomarkers from the cells into the bloodstream, where they reach concentrations high enough to be detected. This enables oncologists to identify and track the cancer’s status or response to treatment through blood samples instead of ...

MIT’s new MRI brain light-detecting technique could support brain cell studies

Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect light deep in the brain, which could benefit future studies of the development and communication of brain cells. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the new technique could help researchers explore the inner workings of the brain, such as changes in gene expression, anatomical connections between cells or how cells communicate with each other. Commonly, scientists label cells with bioluminescent proteins that glow to allow them to track the growth of a tumour or measure changes in gene expression that occur as cells differentiate. Known as bioluminescence, the novel technique uses MRI to observe the dilation of a protein in the brain’s blood vessels to pinpoint the source of light. The team came up with a method to transform the blood vessels of the brain into light detectors to find a ...
