Updates to HER2 testing guidelines reduces confusionĀ 

Drug Discovery World

The recent clinical trial for metastatic breast cancer patients (DESTINY-Breast04) found that a treatment traditionally used for HER2 positive patients was also effective in patients considered HER2 negative. It used the current CAP/ASCO testing algorithm for HER2 protein expression levels.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Reece Armstrong explores the potential and future opportunities for mRNA-based therapies. For instance, consider how at the end of 2018, the mRNA therapies market was valued at $3.43 mRNA-based approaches can produce proteins / peptides by using protein synthesis which is processed in a transfected cell 1.

The role of machine learning in cancer drug development

Drug Discovery World

The success of targeted therapies in cancer comes on the heels of identifying specific molecular targets resulting from genetic variations. Modulations in protein expression levels or the presence of dysfunctional proteins observed in individuals with specific mutations act as biomarkers in selecting patients for targeted therapies. .
