Is Recent Gene Therapy Setback for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Déjà vu All Over Again?

PLOS: DNA Science

In the final chapter of my 2012 book The Forever Fix: Gene Therapy and the Boy Who Saved It , I predicted that the technology would soon expand well beyond the rare disease world. Gene therapy clearly hasn’t had a major impact on health care, offering extremely expensive treatments for a few individuals with rare diseases.

Insights into cellular therapies for cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Stem cell transplants have saved patients’ lives time and time again, which led us to launch our own Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program. Stem cell transplants primarily help the immune response through the “graft-versus-leukaemia effect,” and we have to manage the “graft versus host effect.”

3 Characteristics of a Successful Cell and Gene Therapy Nonclinical Program

The Premier Consulting Blog

Development of cell and gene therapies is growing rapidly, given the major advances in genomic technologies and increasing scientific understanding of genetic regulation and immunology. This blog will outline three characteristics of a successful nonclinical program to support entry into clinical trials for a cell or gene therapy product.

mRNA Cancer Vaccines and Therapies: An Overview

Advarra

The applications of mRNA-based therapies in cancer research represent one of the next groundbreaking steps toward improved cancer treatments. Adoptive T Cell therapies, therapeutic antibodies, and immunomodulatory proteins represent just some of the potentially beneficial treatment strategies for successful mRNA cancer trials.

Harnessing the CD24/Siglec-10 pathway: immunotherapy innovation

Drug Target Review

It is not known whether CD24 on cancer cells has a unique epitope that can be specifically targeted for cancer therapy. Combination therapy is the best approach in immunotherapy. Our extensive data showed that CD24 expressed on normal cells and cancer cells can be differentiated with our novel anti-CD24 antibody, ONC-781.

Navigating the Challenges in Clinical Research for Hepatitis C Therapies

Vial

In the decades since its identification in 1989, advances in clinical research for new Hepatitis C therapies and the introduction of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have led to viral eradication in more than 98% of patients, resulting in HCV crossing from manageable to being the first curable , chronic viral infection.

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.
