Amvuttra RNAi Therapeutic Wins FDA Approval for Rare Genetic Protein Disorder

XTalks

Hereditary ATTR has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and is caused by point mutations in the transthyretin ( TTR ) gene that codes for the transthyretin transport protein found in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. These abnormalities can lead to progressive heart failure and death. type transthyretin (TTR) messenger RNA (mRNA).

Genetic biomarkers could personalise therapy for TNBC

Drug Discovery World

Additionally, patients whose cancer has spread but who have not yet received chemotherapy, and whose primary tumours have markers of faults in genes linked to DNA repair pathways, tend to respond better to carboplatin. “Our findings paint a complex picture – with many, dynamic factors driving how tumours respond to treatment.”

What Innovative Treatments For Metastatic Breast Cancer are being developed?

Find Me Cure

CDK4/6 inhibitors are used alongside hormone therapy. HER2 is a protein that plays an important role in cancer cell growth and is found on the surface of cancer cells in a very high quantity in about 10-20% of breast cancers. An enzyme involved in DNA repair can be the key to making chemotherapy more effective.

positive result of phase III study with radioligand therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with advanced prostate cancer

The Pharma Data

Radioligand therapy combines a targeting compound that binds to markers expressed by tumors and a radioactive isotope, causing DNA damage that inhibits tumor growth and replication. In metastatic CRPC (mCRPC), the tumor spreads to other parts of the body, such as neighboring organs or bones and remains unresponsive to hormone treatment 4.

Statement from Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla on Testing Positive for COVID-19

Pfizer

In preclinical studies, nirmatrelvir did not demonstrate evidence of mutagenic DNA interactions. Current variants of concern can be resistant to treatments that work by binding to the spike protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
