Vamorolone

New Drug Approvals

Corticosteroid therapy is the current standard of care for DMD despite relatively high rates of adverse effects. 75,76 This also results in decreased glucocorticoid receptor-drive transactivation, ultimately improving the safety profile of vamorolone as compared to other corticosteroid therapies. 2017, 82, 11961−11980.

CAR-NK cells: promising for cancer therapy

Drug Target Review

They recognise ‘cell stress molecules’ on the surface of infected, old, injured and cancerous cells without the need for complex pre-stimulation signals of the adaptive immune system (eg, T cells). NK cells can be readily extracted from umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood of adult donors.

Cancer immunotherapy: GDF-15’s role in Anti-PD-1 resistance

Drug Target Review

Neutralising GDF-15 with CatalYm’s anti-GDF-15 antibody visugromab was shown to reverse its inhibitory effects and to re-sensitise tumours to anti-PD-1 treatment, achieving commensurate survival benefit of anti-GDF-15-anti-PD-1 combination therapy in vivo. in North America) in late 2017.

Cell and gene therapy development moves into cardiac indications

Drug Target Review

Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) have made significant advancements in treating oncological diseases, with therapies like CAR-T cell treatments transforming cancer care. However, cell-based therapies are intended to leverage those healthy cells via transplant to regenerate damaged tissue.
