The future of CNS drug development: signs of real progress

Drug Target Review

This absence of objective measures contributes to the variability in patient response to treatments, complicating efforts to produce standardised therapies. Moreover, regulatory pathways also change considerably based on the type of therapy – and guidance is sparse.

Prime editing treats childhood brain disease in mice

Broad Institute

Prime editing was developed in 2019 by the lab of David Liu , a Broad core institute member and co-senior author of the new paper. The scientists delivered the prime editors to cells in mice using clinically validated viruses called AAVs, which are already used in FDA-approved gene therapies targeting brain cells.

Rilzabrutinib Cuts Flares in IgG4-Related Disease; Fast Track Granted in US

The Pharma Data

All participants met the ACR/EULAR 2019 diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD and had a minimum IgG4-RD Responder Index (RI) score of 2 or greater at baseline. This design was meant to enable clinician-researchers to gauge the ability of rilzabrutinib to control disease activity after the withdrawal of standard therapy.
