AZD1222 US Phase III primary analysis confirms safety and efficacy

The Pharma Data

It uses a replication-deficient chimpanzee viral vector based on a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees and contains the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. The Phase III D8110C00001 trial is part of this funding agreement. BARDA, ASPR, HHS. JPEO-CBRND.

AZD1222 US Phase III trial met primary efficacy endpoint in preventing COVID-19 at interim analysis

The Pharma Data

Ann Falsey, Professor of Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine, US, and co-lead Principal Investigator for the trial, said: “These findings reconfirm previous results observed in AZD1222 trials across all adult populations but it’s exciting to see similar efficacy results in people over 65 for the first time.

Another method to isolate CTCs is by antibody targeting of white blood cells for removal, followed by collection of untagged CTCs. Dr. Bahassi explained that technological advances in genetic sequencing of cfDNA have enabled liquid biopsies and led to marked increase in the detection of therapeutically-targetable mutations.

Considerations for Neuroscience Trials with Intrathecal Delivery and Other Methods of Direct CNS Administration

XTalks

We know that a lot of different pathologies, especially as we’ve entered the era of molecular medicine and gene therapies, cause many of the same symptoms and work through final common pathways. Such therapies may involve small interfering RNA (siRNA) or oligonucleotides in viral transfection platforms, large molecules and antibodies.

AZD7442 PROVENT Phase III prophylaxis trial met primary endpoint in.

The Pharma Data

AZD7442 is the first antibody combination (non-vaccine) modified to potentially provide long-lasting protection that has demonstrated prevention of COVID-19 in a clinical trial. In the placebo arm, there were three cases of severe COVID-19, which included two deaths.

Scientists at the University of Utah School of Medicine have found a way to control that autoimmune response by aiming a protein that is vital for T-cell activation. At the same time, the other had very high levels of antibodies, which neutralise the adeno-associated virus (AAV) utilised to deliver the treatment.
