Eluminex Biosciences Ltd. announced the FDA’s acceptance of their IND application for EB-105, a trispecific fusion antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A, and isomers), VEGF-B, placental growth factor (PlGF), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME).
Researchers from Tan Tock Seng Hospital presented data from a study investigating the utility of soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) as early prognostic biomarker of severe dengue.
Vedanta Biosciences Inc. has been awarded $3.9 million in funding from the Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator (CARB-X) to advance its VE-707 preclinical development program for reducing colonization and preventing subsequent infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MRDOs).
Current approved antifungal therapies are limited by their associated adverse events. SCY-247 is a new triterpenoid antifungal for intravenous or oral administration that inhibits the glucan synthase enzyme, which is a key member for the fungal cell wall.
Researchers from the Beijing Institute of Radiation Medicine have presented the discovery of novel toll-like receptor (TLR)2/1 agonists as potential candidates for the treatment of lung cancer.
Researchers have identified enzymes in gut microorganisms that could cleave A and B antigens from red blood, transmuting them to O negative cells. This is “a decisive step forward” in the quest to develop a universal donor blood that can be administered to people of any blood group without eliciting a harmful immune response, according to Maher Abou Hachem of the Technical University of Denmark, who co-led the research.
