Utilising engineered peptides for immunotherapy

Drug Target Review

The combination of P1 with antiPD1 more efficiently activated innate and adaptive immune responses than either P1 or antiPD1 alone by re-energising T cell effector functions, thus providing the remarkable reduction of tumour growth in solid tumours and extended survival period.

Q&A: How a partnership between physicians and researchers aims to make cancer drugs safer

Broad Institute

Kerry Reynolds: The first immune checkpoint inhibitor was FDA-approved in 2011 to treat melanoma, with nearly a dozen more ICIs approved for various cancers since then. We can’t just empirically be pulling treatments — they need to be evidence-based from randomized clinical trials.

Demonstrated a Durable Immune Response and Elicited Dual Mechanisms of Protection Against Delta and Other SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern in Data Published in New England Journal of Medicine

The Pharma Data

Antibody and T-cell immune responses strong and stable at eight months after immunization Demonstrated neutralizing antibody activity against the Delta variant (B.1.617.2) In addition, the T-cell responses are especially strong and stable over time, which is also potentially important for activity against these variants.”.

A research team searches for every gene that helps tumors evade immunotherapy

Broad Institute

By then, a few cancer immunotherapies had entered clinical trials and only a handful had been approved by the FDA. As a first step, Manguso set his sights on treatments called PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, which at the time had shown tremendous promise in clinical trials and would receive their first FDA approval in 2014.

Harnessing the CD24/Siglec-10 pathway: immunotherapy innovation

Drug Target Review

While its involvement in the do-not-eat-me signal from cancer has inspired therapeutic development of this pathway for oncology, the function of the innate immune checkpoint we identified in 2009 1 extends to both innate and adaptive immune responses. Biomarkers are the holy grail of clinical trials.
