The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a validated surrogate endpoint for the reduction of microvascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus; reduced HIV-RNA levels serve as an endpoint for HIV disease control; and a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is used as an endpoint indicating lower likelihood of cardiovascular events.

Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

At TOLREMO, we have developed a proprietary modular phenotypic screening platform that leverages transcriptional reprogramming events associated with non-genetic resistance to deliver new chemical scaffolds and identify novel resistance regulators. Inhibiting KDM5A, a regulator of cell proliferation, poses another interesting approach.

Aptorum Group Announces Submission of Clinical Trial Application for ALS-4, an Orally Administered Small Molecule Drug for the Treatment of Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

The Pharma Data

Pending Health Canada’s approval, the Phase 1 trial is designed to test the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ALS-4 in healthy volunteers. ALS-4 is a novel small molecule adopting an anti-virulence (non-antibiotic) approach to address the growing unmet medical needs of infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

PureTech’s LYT-100 (Deupirfenidone) Demonstrates Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Proof-of-Concept in Phase 1 Multiple Ascending Dose and Food Effect Study

The Pharma Data

The study demonstrated favorable proof-of-concept for LYT-100’s tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, which will also enable twice-a-day (BID) dosing of LYT-100 in future studies. All adverse events (AEs) that were possibly or probably related to LYT-100 were mild and transient and there were no discontinuations. 1 Cottin, V.,
