Researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed a ‘top-down’ treatment strategy involving Janssen’s Remicade (infliximab) straight after diagnosis significantly improved outcomes for patients with Crohn’s disease. Affecting around one in 350 people in the UK, Crohn’s disease is a life-long condition caused by inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to flares of inflammation and progressive bowel disease damage as the condition worsens. Sponsored by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Cambridge, with support from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the PROFILE trial recruited 386 Crohn’s disease patients from 40 hospitals across the UK. Despite the biomarker not proving useful in selecting treatments for individual patients, patients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, which were given a different treatment strategy: ‘accelerated step-up’ or ‘top-down’. The accelerated step-up group treatment approach involved patients starting Remicade if their disease ...

According to the CDE official website, AstraZeneca’s Class 1 therapeutic biological product AZD0486 has obtained implicit approval for clinical trials and is intended to be used to treat relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. AZD0486 (TNB-486) is a new, fully human CD19xCD3 IgG4 bispecific antibody, originally developed by TeneoTwo. In 2022, AstraZeneca acquired TeneoTwo for US$1.265 billion and also obtained its clinical-stage drug TNB-486. According to public information, AZD0486 can bind to CD19 on the surface of B lymphocytes and CD3 receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes, thereby initiating the immune response of T lymphocytes. A Phase I clinical study (NCT04594642) published in the journal “OncLive” in August 2023 showed that AZD0486 has a durable tumor inhibitory effect on relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, regardless of the expression level of CD20, and it is also independent of the type and dosage of existing drugs. Currently, AZD0486 has entered the Phase ...

NANJING, China and GAITHURSBURG, Md., Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TransThera, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to innovating differentiated drugs globally, today announced the initiation of IND-enabling studies for TT-02332, a potent, selective and highly CNS-penetrating NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a pivotal component of the human innate immune system. Aberrant activation of NLRP3 is strongly linked with a variety of inflammatory disorders, including obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, NASH, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), dermatitis, and atherosclerosis. “Immuno-inflammation is one of TransThera’s key therapeutic areas of interest. Over the past three years, we have achieved breakthroughs with the NLRP3 inhibitor program.” said Jennifer Sheng, Vice President of Biology at TransThera. “Our clinical candidate compound TT-02332 is a highly potent NLRP3 inhibitor that has shown promising efficacy in a number of disease-relevant in vivo animal models. The compound exhibits desirable pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) properties, suitable for once-daily dosing. TT-02332 demonstrates an ...
Sarcoidosis, a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by small lumps known as granulomas in the lungs and other organs, remains a medical mystery with its exact cause yet to be understood. Current theories suggest it might be an immune disorder triggered by specific antigens, usually foreign substances that provoke an immune response. Diagnosing sarcoidosis is currently a complex process that typically involves tissue removal and testing, accompanied by additional screenings to exclude other conditions like tuberculosis or lung cancer. Now, researchers have developed a tool that uses a simple blood test to rapidly and inexpensively diagnose sarcoidosis, potentially reducing the need for more invasive diagnostic techniques presently used to detect the disease. In a research project supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA), researchers at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI, USA) set out to identify antigens and determine which might be linked to sarcoidosis. They collected lung ...
Annually, a staggering half a million people, including numerous children and young individuals, succumb to serious infections caused by the group A streptococcal (Strep A) bacteria globally. Strep A is highly transmissible and spreads from person to person mostly via the respiratory route from sore throats. Strep A is typically known for causing sore throats and skin infections in younger children. However, both groups are very susceptible to the invasive form of the infection. In rare cases, it can lead to more severe conditions like sepsis and toxic shock if the bacteria invade the bloodstream or tissue. A particularly alarming consequence of repeated Strep A infections is the autoimmune-induced damage to heart valves, termed rheumatic heart disease (RHD). RHD affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, predominantly in middle- and low-income countries. Currently, there is no vaccine available for Strep A. The development of immunity to Strep A over time, including ...
