A Novel Approach to ALS Trial Development

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting some 40,000 individuals in Europe at any time, causing 10,000 deaths each year. As with other age-related neurodegenerative diseases, the drug development field is littered with inconclusive or negative trials. Modifying Immune Response and Outcomes in ALS (MIROCALS) is an international European Union H2020-funded trial of low-dose interleukin-2 in motor neuron disease (MND)/ALS. It aims to break this impasse in the development of disease-modifying agents through novel trial design, incident (early post-diagnosis) recruitment, integration of biomarkers/transcriptomics and cohort stratification. Join this webinar to hear about an overview of the study in addition to a discussion of the challenges both anticipated and unanticipated in recruiting participants recently diagnosed with a rare, rapidly disabling and ultimately life-limiting condition.

Progress and pitfalls in the AI-aided search for novel drugs

Statnews

Artificial intelligence is changing how pharmaceutical companies operate, how they develop and study new treatments, and even what form those treatments take. Pharma companies are now pairing medicines with software — so-called digiceuticals powered by virtual reality and AI. Most of the world’s largest drug companies now have a technology officer in their C-suites. And AI is now being used to help find new drug targets, model diseases, and make clinical trials more efficient.

How Advanced Therapies are Changing the Landscape of Rare Disease

Medpace

After years of innovative research, advanced therapies are dramatically changing the way patients are treated for a wide variety of diseases particularly for patients with rare diseases and orphan indications. New developments in advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) comprising cell and gene therapy products show the potential to modify or even cure severe chronic conditions for which previously no treatment existed. As a consequence, the dynamic market for innovative therapies such as CAR-T, immuno-oncology, and gene and cell-based therapies grows across the globe. Academic institutes and biotech companies are contributing to these developments both in terms of scientific discovery and undertaking clinical trials aiming for regulatory approvals to treat specific patient populations. While we might be in a golden age of medicine due to advancements in ATMPs, innovative clinical research and development remain crucial for getting treatments to patients.
