Evelo Biosciences Inc.’s late-stage efforts with EDP-1815 are forging ahead despite unfavorable data in atopic dermatitis (AD), and talks so far with the U.S. FDA have proven encouraging, the company said. Cambridge, Mass.-based Evelo made public findings from the first three cohorts of the phase II trial with EDP-1815 in AD, where the compound fell short of the primary endpoint: proportion of patients who achieve an outcome of at least a 50% improvement from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score compared to placebo at week 16. Evelo blamed an unusually high placebo response rate.
Escient Pharmaceuticals Inc. has obtained FDA clearance of its IND application for EP-262, a first-in-class, potent, highly selective small-molecule antagonist of Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2 (MRGPRX2) for mast cell-mediated disorders.

Except when they do. “If you amputate one of the branches off of the antler [of a reindeer], it will also regenerate,” Jeff Biernaskie told BioWorld. Even without amputation, the antlers of both male and female reindeer regenerate annually, including their skin. That regeneration is “the only large mammal model of true skin regeneration,” he said.
