The rising impact of biomarkers in early clinical development

Drug Target Review

Susceptibility or risk biomarkers can detect the likelihood of a patient developing a disease or medical condition, which is crucial for treatments that are most effective before the onset of symptoms. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological process, disease state, or response to a treatment.

Biochemical assays and deep cyclic inhibition in cancer treatment

Drug Target Review

Molecular-level biochemical assays like transcriptomics, genomics and proteomics have emerged as valuable tools for identifying potential targets in cancer treatment through deep cyclic inhibition (DCI). How does the DCI mechanism compare to the design of other drugs for cancer treatment?

Sensory-motor neuropathy in Mfn2 T105M knock-in mice and its reversal by a novel piperine-derived mitofusin activator [Neuropharmacology]

ASPET

We further demonstrate that daily oral treatment with a novel mitofusin activator derived from the natural product piperine can reverse these neurological phenotypes. Here, we describe motor and sensory neuron dysfunction characteristic of clinical CMT type 2A in a CRISPR/Casp-engineered Mfn2 Thr105Met (T105M) mutant knock-in mouse.

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. The therapeutic dose of pirfenidone approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of IPF is 801 mg three times a day.
