How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

For example, in randomised clinical trials of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pembrolizumab has been shown to be effective in slowing down disease progression and improving survival rates 1. However, adverse effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity still occur. Jespersen et al.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Over 250 clinical trials are currently in progress, and novel immuno-oncological treatments are already proving to be successful. This continues to be the standard of care.

Accelerating NDA filing through faster carcinogenicity assessment

Drug Discovery World

This stage is more highly regulated and consists of both preclinical testing and clinical trials. Until recently, drug carcinogenicity assessment required two different in vivo studies, one of which was typically a two-year lifetime study in rats. Drug discovery and development is an arduous process that can cost upwards of $2.6
