With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. in August 2022, biopharma company leaders have re-evaluated pipelines, sought legal advice, and discussed ways to mitigate the potential impacts the legislation will have on pricing therapies and extending their reach to new indications.
The market downturn has left many biopharma companies searching for new ways to raise funds, with some eyeing the strong venture capital market as a potential resource. But having a disruptive technology and solid data may be the best way to stand out in a sea of companies, say financial executives that participated Feb. 6 in a panel discussion during the first full day of the BIO CEO 2023 conference in New York.
GSR Ventures, a venture firm focused on early stage digital health companies, forecasts a much brighter investment picture for 2023 following a hard reset in 2022, said GSR Partner Sunny Kumar in an interview with BioWorld at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco.
Outcomes after therapy with DNA-damaging agents such as irinotecan or oxaliplatin have been seen to improve in patients with homologous recombination-deficient colorectal cancer (HRD CRC) compared to those who have HR proficient CRC (HRP CRC).
Genetically modified derivatives of the chimeric oncolytic virus (OV) CF33 have previously shown cancer selectivity and oncolytic potency against various solid tumors.
Upregulation of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) has been validated in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), but the mechanism behind CXCL1 affecting CRC tumor cell progression is not clear. Gene-editing techniques were used to investigate the impact of CXCL1 knockout and overexpression in CRC cells.
Previous studies have demonstrated that increased expression of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) correlated with poor prognosis in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the current study, a research team at the University of Rochester Medical Center aimed to assess the impact of blocking GM-CSFR signaling in CCA and PDAC.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a lethal hepatobiliary cancer with poor outcome; thus, new therapeutic approaches are needed. It is known that tyrosine-protein kinase LCK activates Yes-associated protein (YAP), which is a well-known known oncogene in CCA. Researchers have hypothesized LCK as a potential therapeutic target in CCA.
While fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are common strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, the potential use of blood-based biomarkers could provide an alternative method to increase compliance in population-based screening programs for early detection of CRC. Researchers from EDP Biotech Corp. aimed to identify novel blood-based biomarker candidates for use in CRC screening.
