T-cell vaccine for COVID-19 may last longer than current vaccines

The Pharma Data

The current COVID-19 vaccines are designed to trigger an antibody response to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is vulnerable to mutations that could make the vaccine less effective over time. In their study, the researchers challenged mice with a lethal dose of SARS-CoV-2 and found that 87.5%

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

Research into mRNA dates back to the 1970s, but with the approval of both Moderna and BioNTech/Pfizer’s vaccines, this approach has finally been validated. Once its potential as a means of stimulating an immune response had been established, attention quickly turned to where else the technology could provide a therapeutic solution.

Amtagvi (Lifileucel) Scores Landmark Win as First FDA-Approved T-Cell Therapy for a Solid Tumor

XTalks

TILs are immune cells that attack and penetrate tumors. The immune cells in both cases are then infused back into the patient. Amtagvi is approved for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma following prior treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor and a BRAF inhibitor if the tumor harbors a BRAF V600 mutation.

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

Drug Discovery World

As a result, researchers are striving to continually improve immuno-oncology approaches using the patient’s own immune cells to combat tumours. Going beyond the limits of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, adverse effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity still occur.

Evusheld long-acting antibody combination recommended for approval in the EU for the pre-exposure prophylaxis (prevention) of COVID-19

The Pharma Data

Evusheld has the potential to provide long-lasting protection to vulnerable populations such as the immunocompromised who can’t mount an adequate response to a COVID-19 vaccine, and we’ll continue to work with governments in Europe to make Evusheld available as quickly as possible.”
