A broad range of unmet needs remains in the immuno-oncology space

Pharmaceutical Technology

IO agents include the classes of immune checkpoint modulators, cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, oncolytic viruses, therapeutic vaccines, and cytokines. All currently approved CAR-Ts are autologous, with the patient’s T-cells being genetically engineered to target antigens expressed by the cancerous cells.

South African variant may cut response from Pfizer/BioNTech shot, study finds

pharmaphorum

Researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch based their findings on lab tests using SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses that were genetically engineered to have the same mutations as those in the strain that is causing scientists so much concern.

Novavax Announces Agreement with Government of New Zealand for 10.7 Million Doses of COVID-19 VaccineAdvance purchase agreement signed for NVX-CoV2373, Novavax’ adjuvanted protein vaccine candidate

The Pharma Data

Currently in Phase 3 clinical testing in the United Kingdom for the prevention of COVID-19, NVX-CoV2373 is a recombinant protein vaccine adjuvanted with Novavax’ proprietary Matrix-M to enhance the immune response. NVX-CoV2373 contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19. and Australia.

Taconic Biosciences Expands Immuno-oncology Animal Model PortfolioCritical Jh Syngeneic Tumor Model Host Now Available on a B6 Background

The Pharma Data

These models are engrafted with mouse tumors derived from the same strain background; this genetic similarity between tumor and host prevents the host from rejecting the tumor. One consideration in using syngeneic models is that some drug candidates can cause a negative immune response not seen in humans.

Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine Granted Fast Track Designation by U.S. FDA

The Pharma Data

NVX-CoV2373 is a vaccine candidate engineered from the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. In preclinical trials, NVX-CoV2373 demonstrated induction of antibodies that block binding of spike protein to receptors targeted by the virus, a critical aspect for effective vaccine protection.
