Turning Science into Business: Inducing autophagy to treat disease

Drug Discovery World

DS: Samsara’s autophagy inducing candidate SAM001 will be the first agent of its class to enter clinical trials. It is the method for removing unwanted debris, e.g., old proteins, and breaking them down so their constituent parts can be used again. In fact, some variants of Parkinson’s and ALS are genetic in origin.

Biopharma Money on the Move: October 21-27

The Pharma Data

The Massachusetts-based biotech is investing in their proprietary “Gene Traffic Control” system, which tells the cells when to express which genes where and in what order within the chromatin regulatory system. AavantiBio has a unique opportunity to change the lives of those living with FA and other rare diseases,” Cumbo said.

FDA Action Alert: Supernus, Adamis, Alkermes, Amgen, BMS and Eiger

The Pharma Data

The submission includes data from the ENLIGHTEN clinical development program in schizophrenia, and pharmacokinetic (PK) bridging data comparing ALKS 3831 and Zyprexa (olanzapine), to support an indication for schizophrenia. Progeroid Laminopathies are similar, caused by a number of mutations in the lamin A and/or Zmpste24 genes.

Unlocking the potential of mRNA for the future treatment of rare diseases 

Drug Discovery World

Interestingly, at least 80% of all rare diseases originate from monogenic mutations, meaning that they arise from mutations in a single gene 4. Recent progress on mRNA therapeutics – with at least five programmes in clinical studies – is encouraging, and I hope that we will only see more scientific advancement in the years to come.
