?5 Things You Need to Know from Our Recent Gene Therapy Webinar

Worldwide Clinical Trials

Further, some patients are still hesitant to go into the clinic, and the prevalence of misinformation from the pandemic has led to greater concerns about therapies like gene therapies and the impact they fear it will have on their RNA/DNA. Working with a centralized IBC/IRB provider can speed up your process. .

Rome Therapeutics raises $77m for junk DNA-targeting drugs

pharmaphorum

The Cambridge, Massachusetts biotech is focusing specifically on the 60% of DNA sequences that repeat themselves hundreds or thousands of times in the genome, known as the ‘repeatome’, that could contain targets for cancer and autoimmune disorders. That muffles the immune system response and allows the cancer to grow.

How transcriptomics is driving drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

SB: Transcriptomics is the study of genomic RNA transcripts in a biological system. RNA transcript expression levels can provide insight into underlying biology – eg. In terms of technical process, traditional RNA sequencing was a very laborious process that could take several weeks and was prone to errors. SB: Certainly.

World AIDS Day 2023: New and Promising Treatments for HIV/AIDS

XTalks

Over 26 weeks of Sunlenca combined with other antiretroviral drugs, 81 percent of participants achieved HIV RNA suppression, reaching levels low enough to be considered undetectable. Both trials concluded with maintained virologic suppression, and no clinically significant change from baseline in CD4+ cell counts was observed.

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. The study showed this broad immune response led to the complete clearance of the virus in a matter of days after infection of previously-vaccinated primates.
