Making Informed Decisions in Your Oncology Study: Understanding Biomarkers

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

Biomarkers provide a rapid way to inform many clinical oncology study development decisions, including study endpoints. They can inform intervention outcomes, serve as study endpoints, and are advantageous across the spectrum of cancer care. What are they, how do they work, and how can they benefit your oncology study?

Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

COVID19: Serology is harder than it looks

DrugBaron

This gives a clear indication of current (or very recent) infection, but it tells us nothing about the cumulative number of people exposed, nor the degree or nature of their immune response to the virus. The solution is a test for the immune response to the virus (often called a “serology test”).

The Vaccine Development Landscape and Its Associated Challenges

DrugBank

Adjuvants are substances added to vaccines to enhance the immune response. They work by decreasing the solubility of the vaccine, which sustains the release of the drug and prolongs the immune response. Even after a vaccine is approved and distributed, the pharmaceutical industry's responsibility does not end.
