Leveraging agonist antibodies to address immunological diseases

Drug Target Review

Introduction Therapeutic antibodies have proven to be indispensable medicines for addressing the most debilitating diseases. Agonist antibodies of immune checkpoint regulators These represent a groundbreaking class of immunotherapeutic agents that mimic the natural function of endogenous ligands by binding to specific cell-surface receptors.

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.

Sanofi and GSK COVID-19 vaccine candidate demonstrates strong immune responses across all adult age groups in Phase 2 trial

The Pharma Data

Adjuvanted recombinant COVID-19 vaccine candidate triggered strong neutralizing antibody responses in all adult age groups. High immune response after a single dose in patients with prior infection shows strong booster potential. Beginning in February 2021, the study enrolled 722 volunteers, in the U.S. Issued: London UK.

New MS PATHS Data at ECTRIMS 2021 Confirm Biogen’s Disease-Modifying Therapies Do Not Reduce Antibody Response to COVID-19 Vaccines in People with Multiple Sclerosis

The Pharma Data

Biogen today announced results of a new analysis of immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). These results demonstrate that MS DMTs impact antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccination in different ways and understanding these differences is crucial,” said Jeffrey Cohen, M.D.,

These agents simultaneously bind to a tumor-associated protein on cancer cells and the CD3 protein on T-cells, facilitating a targeted anti-cancer immune response. Consequently, these drugs have limited ability to keep patients disease-free and limited impact on patient survival. doi: 10.1136/jitc-2021-004348 6.

The potential of CD24 in cancer immunotherapy

Drug Target Review

This interaction inhibits inflammation and immune activation, and in particular prevents macrophages from phagocytosing and destroying cancer cells. By blocking CD24 with an antibody drug, our goal is to powerfully reactivate the anti-cancer immune response and drive therapeutic efficacy.

COVID-19 nasal vaccine candidate effective at preventing disease transmission

The Pharma Data

Our results show that the candidate vaccine formulation is safe, produces rapid immune responses – within seven days – and elicits comprehensive immunity against SARS-CoV-2,” said Varadarajan. A fundamental limitation of intramuscular vaccines is that they’re not designed to elicit mucosal immunity.
