“We can do more.” These have been the guiding words from the founding days of Artiva. This is why we are excited to work with Lupus Therapeutics and the @Lupus Research Alliance who will provide clinical operations support to advance AlloNK, an off-the-shelf, allogeneic NK cell therapy, for the treatment of lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is a severe autoimmune disease with limited treatment options. Our NK cell therapy has a mechanism very similar to the B-cell targeted autologous CAR-T therapies, but that supports improved access for patients, without the need for apheresis and hospitalization.

CD19 CAR-T treatment for lupus? 🔬 Exciting advancements in lupus and other autoimmune disease treatment are on the horizon, with CD19 CAR-T cell therapy on the front. Caribou Biosciences has recently expanded its clinical trials for CB-010 with an FDA IND clearance and targets both B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and lupus. In parallel, Kyverna Therapeutics and Cabaletta Bio are innovating in the space by repurposing CAR-T therapies for autoimmune diseases, showcasing a robust international effort to leverage this transformative technology. 🧬 Targeting CD19 cells by therapies like CB-010 reduces disease-causing cells, but it also risks long-term effects, such as potential increased susceptibility to infections. However, these therapies are designed to enable the regeneration of healthy B cells, striving for a balance in immune recovery. This groundbreaking approach offers hope for lupus patients, aiming for sustained remission. #Biotech #CRISPR #LupusResearch #FDAApproval #CaribouBiosciences https://lnkd.in/eu533rEf

Diabetes drugs like Ozempic lower cancer risks: Study " [...]Published in the journal JAMA, the study compared patients with Type 2 diabetes who were treated with insulin versus patients who were given a class of drug known as GLP-1 agonists, like Ozempic, between 2005 and 2018. The researchers found that the patients who received GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower risk of developing 10 out of 13 cancers studied, including kidney, pancreatic, esophageal, ovarian, liver and colorectal cancer. Among the cancers which saw no significant change in risk were thyroid cancer and breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

AbbVie and Genmab’s Epkinly (epcoritamab-bysp) has been granted accelerated approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). The regulator’s decision, which specifically applies to patients who have received at least two lines of prior therapy, makes Epkinly the first and only subcutaneous T-cell engaging bispecific antibody to be approved for this patient population. Approximately 15,000 people develop FL, the second most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, every year in the US. The disease is considered incurable, with patients frequently relapsing and the prognosis worsening after each subsequent relapse. Epkinly, which is already approved in the US to treat certain cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), is an IgG1-bispecific antibody designed to simultaneously bind to CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells and induce T-cell-mediated killing of CD20-positive cells. The FDA’s latest decision on the therapy was supported by results from the phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 clinical trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of Epkinly in more than 120 adults with R/R FL who had received a median of three lines of therapy, 70% of whom had double refractory disease. Results demonstrated an overall response rate of 82%, a complete response rate of 60% and a partial response rate of 22%, with more than half of patients who responded to treatment remaining responsive at a median follow-up of 14.8 months. Mariana Cota Stirner, vice president, therapeutic area head for haematology at AbbVie, said: “The FDA approval of Epkinly offers a new treatment option for R/R FL, particularly following [the] failure of other therapies… Subcutaneous dosing offers convenience, and Epkinly can be given to patients without mandatory hospitalisation using a three-step-up dosing regimen.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQNmMWHb If you are seeking LinkedIn groups that best match your requirements, you can find an A-Z list of LinkedIn groups covering pharmaceutical, medical and life science groups here: https://bit.ly/4caKquL

𝐅𝐃𝐀 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬! The FDA has granted a priority review for Roche's inavolisib, in combination with fulvestrant and Pfizer’s Ibrance (palbociclib), for treating PIK3CA-mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. This decision sets a date of 27 November for the FDA to evaluate the therapy. The therapy targets adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, especially those experiencing recurrence within 12 months of adjuvant endocrine treatment. Inavolisib, an oral PI3 kinase inhibitor, disrupts PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway signaling, crucial for cell growth and survival. It also recently received breakthrough therapy designation. The priority review is based on promising results from the Phase III INAVO120 trial, where the combination therapy showed a progression-free survival of 15 months compared to 7.3 months with the standard fulvestrant and Ibrance regimen. Roche is also pursuing regulatory approval in other regions, including with the European Medicines Agency. More detailed data will be presented at the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago from 31 May to 4 June. in other FDA news, Eli Lilly and Company have secured accelerated approval for Retevmo, their treatment for pediatric cancers.
