Precision Medicine Startup Mirador Unveils $400M for R&D of New I&I Drugs

Mirador Therapeutics applies machine learning to human data to discover new immunology and inflammation drugs. The startup’s management includes several from the executive team of Prometheus Biosciences, an immunology biotech bought by Merck last year. By FRANK VINLUAN Nearly a year ago, Merck struck a $10.8 billion deal to acquire Prometheus Biosciences, a clinical-stage company whose technology platform analyzed genetics and biology data to discover new drugs. The executive who led Prometheus to that buyout is now back with a new immunology startup supported by $400 million. Mirador Therapeutics launched Thursday, aiming to take the precision medicine approaches that have led to advances in cancer drugs and apply them to the research of new therapies for immunology and inflammation. It’s a similar strategy to the one taken by Prometheus under the helm of Mark McKenna, now the CEO of San Diego-based Mirador. There’s a plethora of immunology drugs on the ...

Biomechanical model simulates breast tumor growth

Scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU), in the USA, have analyzed the growth of breast tumors from a biomechanical perspective and have created a computational model that simulates the invasion process of cancer cells, depending on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue and cell junctions, among other parameters. This type of model will help predict the evolution of a tumor in patients from its mechanical properties (stiffness, density, etc.) of the surrounding microenvironment, which can be determined through a biopsy or imaging techniques. The growth process of a solid tumor involves its expansion through the surrounding tissue, usually composed of a fibrillar matrix (for example, collagen). Its expansion depends on many factors such as the total number of tumor cells, their volume and stiffness, their access to nutrients, and the mechanical properties of the tissue in which they are developing. Supported by experimental ...

AstraZeneca Joins Radiopharma Deals Spree With $2B Fusion Acquisition

AstraZeneca’s Fusion Pharmaceuticals acquisition is the latest in a wave of M&A activity that includes recent deals by Eli Lilly and Bristol Myers Squibb. The lead Fusion program is in mid-stage clinical development for treating advanced prostate cancer. By FRANK VINLUAN AstraZeneca is following in the footsteps of some of its big pharmaceutical company peers, plunking down $2 billion to acquire its radiopharmaceuticals partner Fusion Pharmaceuticals. More than adding a pipeline of targeted radiation therapies, AstraZeneca gains the crucial supply chain and manufacturing infrastructure to support them. The sum is an upfront payment. According to the deal terms announced Tuesday, AstraZeneca will pay $21 cash for each Fusion share, representing a 97% premium to Fusion’s closing stock price on Monday. Shareholders of the radiopharmaceutical company could get even more. The deal includes a contingent value right that will pay an additional $3 per share upon achievement of a regulatory milestone. ...

POC Finger-Prick Blood Test Determines Risk of Neutropenic Sepsis in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Neutropenia, a decrease in neutrophils (a type of white blood cell crucial for fighting infections), is a frequent side effect of certain cancer treatments. This condition elevates the risk of infections, including neutropenic sepsis—a potentially fatal reaction to infection and a severe complication of chemotherapy. Identifying the signs of neutropenic sepsis can be challenging, leading to a stressful and expensive treatment process. Consequently, all chemotherapy patients feeling ill are advised to seek emergency care to check for neutropenic sepsis. Unfortunately, half of these patients do not receive antibiotics quickly enough, while the other half, not at risk of neutropenic sepsis, unnecessarily visit the emergency department. 52North Health Ltd. (Cambridge UK) has developed NeutroCheck, a groundbreaking approach aimed at enhancing the safety and well-being of cancer patients. This innovation combines a finger-prick blood test with an AI-powered digital platform, allowing patients to evaluate their neutropenic sepsis risk at home. This affordable, ...
