Research reveals therapeutic potential of mRNA in rare diseases

Drug Discovery World

Researchers have used messenger RNA (mRNA) to create an effective therapy for a rare liver disease in preclinical studies, demonstrating the technology’s potential therapeutic use in people. Patients affected by the disease are found to also experience an imbalance of glutathione regulation, which is important for liver detoxification.

Quality by design with a focus on biosimilars

Pharmaceutical Technology

To demonstrate bioequivalence for a generic small molecule drug, a company must carry out a Phase I clinical trial in healthy individuals to ensure that the area under the curve and maximum plasma concentration for their drug is equivalent to that of the brand name drug. For biosimilars, however, this process is slightly more complex.

Novartis Leqvio®* (inclisiran) analyses show effective and sustained LDL-C reduction.

The Pharma Data

Overall, Leqvio was well-tolerated, with a safety profile similar to placebo and consistent with the overall pooled population from the combined trials 1 – 3. As the first and only small interfering RNA to provide effective and sustained LDL-C reduction, Leqvio helps manage a critical cardiovascular risk factor for ASCVD.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

Back in 2018, researchers tested a broad-spectrum antiviral candidate called remdesivir/VEKLURY, which acts as a nucleotide decoy to get incorporated into the viral RNA genome and stop viral polymerase. who could carry out experiments with live Ebola virus in a high containment research facility.
