FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

They showed that diacylglycerol kinase B (DGKB), a regulator of the intracellular level of diacylglycerol (DAG), was significantly suppressed in radioresistant GBM cells. Researchers have discovered a clinical drug that sensitises glioblastoma (GBM) cells to radiotherapy and could replace the current standard of care.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

However, over the last few decades, it has been widely accepted that interaction between the tumour and host immune response plays a critical role in regulating tumour biology and hence its progression. The number of new cases recorded between 2016 and 2018 was 375,400, with 167,142 deaths caused by cancer between 2017 and 2019.

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
