Advancing neurological therapies with Dr Bruce Leuchter

Drug Target Review

But commitment to neuroscience drug development is critically important given the significant unmet medical needs and the ways in which patients, caregivers, and families suffer. Part of the challenge is that patients present with very different kinds of clinical phenotypes, meaning the populations are heterogeneous.

Macrophage cell therapy: a new hope for chronic liver disease patients

Drug Target Review

This is reflected in the MATCH data recently presented at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), where two patients in the control group had a liver transplant and seven patients died, whereas there were no liver transplants and only two deaths in the treated group.

Leveraging Genetic Testing for Enrolling Rare Disease Trials

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

Much of what we discuss I covered in my presentation, “Leveraging Genetics to Support Rare Disease Clinical Trials,” at last year’s World Orphan Drug Congress (WODC) EU. One diagnostic example that I discussed in my presentation is autism. Enrolling adequate populations will be required to advance these programs.

How nucleolar stress accelerates aging in mice

Drug Target Review

Our approach to investigate the toxicity driven by nucleolar stress was to induce it with certain arginine-rich peptides, present in patients of ALS, which were known to accumulate at nucleoli and cause this type of stress. Among other discoveries, the group developed inhibitors of the ATR kinase and showed their potential for cancer therapy.

Biomarker identification in the realm of rare diseases

Drug Target Review

However, some biomarkers may only be present in a minority of patients, requiring a large patient population to identify such markers. How do AI-enhanced approaches accelerate the drug development process for rare diseases? Not all biomarkers have a limited prevalence.
