Hemab ApS recently presented preclinical data on its human monoclonal antibody against von Willebrand factor (vWF), HMB-002, for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.
Researchers at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute and collaborators have developed a new anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, mAb104, which targets a conformationally exposed, tumor-specific epitope in domain II of the HER2 protein.
Mindimmune Therapeutics Inc. has been awarded a grant by Rhode Island Life Science Hub to accelerate preclinical development work on MITI-101 for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The award will accelerate development work needed to start first-in-human studies.
Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co. Ltd. and Nanjing Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. have announced IND clearance by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for NTB-003 (formerly BCG-009) for thyroid eye disease.
Radiopharm Theranostics Ltd. has reported preclinical data from studies with the Lu177-B7H3-monoclonal antibody (mAb) RV-01 demonstrating favorable biodistribution and showing that RV-01 maintained high tumor uptake.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide despite advances in managing classic risk factors and therapies lowering LDL-cholesterol. Inhibiting angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), a key regulator of triglyceride metabolism, is emerging as a potential strategy to treat atherogenic dyslipidemia and lower ASCVD risk.
The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and medical research charity Lifearc have announced a collaboration to develop an affordable and accessible monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutic for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV).
In a roadmap to change animal testing requirements for INDs, the U.S. FDA said its new approach will improve drug safety, hasten the evaluation process, and lower costs for companies and patients. It’s another step in a process of changing rules put in place decades ago.
Writing in Cell Reports, researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and collaborators have presented a multifaceted analysis and structure-function study of a panel of human monoclonal antibodies (hmAbs) targeting AMA1 elicited by natural Plasmodium falciparum infection in a malaria-endemic region in Mali.
