RNA-based immunotherapy eradicates melanoma tumours

Drug Discovery World

Investigators at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have designed an RNA-based strategy to activate dendritic cells that eradicated tumours and prevented their recurrence in mouse models of melanoma. The post RNA-based immunotherapy eradicates melanoma tumours appeared first on Drug Discovery World (DDW).

Accelerating NDA filing through faster carcinogenicity assessment

Drug Discovery World

Carcinogenicity testing For decades, the two-year rodent bioassay has been the regulatory standard used to determine the carcinogenic potential of new drugs. This process historically involved lifetime carcinogenicity bioassays in two species. Figure 1: Comparing Carcinogenicity Testing Timelines in Transgenic vs. Standard Mice.
