The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal products for Human Use (CHMP) is standing by its opinion on Leqembi (lecanemab) after the European .mission pushed back against a recommendation in November 2024 that the Alzheimer’s disease drug be approved
NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd., in collaboration with Aexon Labs Inc., has announced new preclinical findings on AEX-2, a non-sulfonamide dual orexin receptor agonist (DOXA) with potential for narcolepsy and related neurological disorders.
The FKBP5 gene encodes FKBP prolyl isomerase 5, a co-chaperone that modulates glucocorticoid signaling and that is expressed in T cells, neurons and in microglial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). The role of FKBP5 in the dysregulation of myeloid cells in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis was investigated in a murine model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co. Ltd. has disclosed aza-ergoline derivatives acting as dopamine D2 receptor and/or D3 receptor agonists reported to be useful for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, erectile dysfunction, substance abuse and dependence, restless legs syndrome, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.
Bridgene Biosciences Inc. has signed a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. to discover small-molecule drug candidates against targets in immunology and neurology.
Researchers from Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red sobre Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas (CIBERNED), Miramoon Pharma SL and affiliated organizations published the preclinical characterization of FKBP12 ligand MP-010 and evaluated its efficacy in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Nearly four years after signing its first major partnership with Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Bridgene Biosciences Inc. returned for a second deal with Takeda – this time focused on using its chemoproteomics platform to discover novel small molecules against immunology and neurology targets.
Researchers from Weill Cornell University filed for protection of discoveries made from investigations into the mechanisms underlying depression, which revealed that a specific brain network is significantly larger in individuals affected by depression.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is a recognized risk factor that is now regarded as a prerequisite for the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, significant advances have been made in clarifying the precise mechanism by which EBV leads to the pathogenic features of MS. Now, a new study may have tied up more loose ends. Researchers from the University of Helsinki have mapped the immune landscape of deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLN) in patients recently diagnosed with MS.
Pepgen Inc. seems to have gained a leg up on competitors in early data with PGN-EDODM1 in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), and shares of the Boston-based firm (NASDAQ:PEPG) closed Feb. 24 at $2.29, up 92 cents, or about 67%. The company unveiled initial positive data from the 5- and 10-mg/kg dose cohorts in the ongoing Freedom-DM1 phase I study with PGN-EDODM1, which deploys Boston-based Pepgen’s Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide technology to deliver a therapeutic oligonucleotide that is designed to restore the normal function of MBNL1, a key RNA splicing protein.
