Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of an invasive and proliferative tissue called synovial pannus, consisting of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), immune cells and newly formed vessels.
In less than two weeks, Setpoint Medical Inc. mastered the power serve with the first approval of a neuroimmune modulation device to manage rheumatoid arthritis, followed by a $25 million second tranche of its series C and a $115 million series D financing round.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic inflammation and progressive joint destruction. Current treatments include conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and biologics. However, long-term treatment is frequently associated with drug resistance and significant adverse effects.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and damage of the joints. PET/CT imaging is a useful tool for early disease assessment and monitoring treatment efficacy.
Researchers from Lifordi Immunotherapeutics Inc. have developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) called LFD-200 that aims to selectively deliver a potent glucocorticoid (GC) payload directly to immune cells. This strategy may potentially offer a new way to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions while minimizing systemic toxicity.
Researchers at Ileadbms Co. Ltd. have announced promising results of their novel drug IL-21120033 in a preclinical model of rheumatoid arthritis. The drug acts as a selective agonist of the chemokine receptor CXCR7.
Rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, ulcerative colitis and several other inflammatory diseases involve hyperactivation of JAK-STAT signaling, in which the kinase JAK binds and phosphorylates the transcription factor STAT, which then turns on gene expression.
Kymera Therapeutics Inc. has announced a new oral IRF5 degrader program with potential to treat immuno-inflammatory diseases, such as lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder marked by joint inflammation, cartilage loss and bone damage. Although biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs have improved treatment outcomes, the disease remains incurable.
Bristol Myers Squibb Co. has patented new protein-arginine deiminase type-4 (PADI4; PAD4) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, among others.
