Injeksi virus hentikan pertumbuhan tumor pankreas dalam uji coba

Sebuah virus yang direkayasa secara genetik telah menghentikan pertumbuhan tumor pankreas pada tiga pasien dalam uji klinis tahap awal di Amerika Serikat. Hasil ini berasal dari studi keamanan yang dipimpin oleh para peneliti di University of Minnesota.

Pasien pertama menerima perawatan tersebut setahun yang lalu setelah didiagnosis dengan tumor berukuran 7 sentimeter yang terbatas pada pankreas. Dua pasien lainnya dirawat kemudian, dan ketiganya tetap hidup dengan kondisi penyakit yang stabil, menurut Masato Yamamoto, yang memimpin pengembangan terapi ini. Hanya sepersepuluh dari dosis yang direncanakan yang digunakan dalam tahap awal ini, namun tumor tidak menyebar atau membesar sejak injeksi dilakukan.

A needle-free, DNA-based vaccine candidate designed using machine-learning methods has completed a first-in-human Phase 1 study in the UK, with researchers reporting it was well tolerated and induced immune responses against multiple viruses in the sarbecovirus group, which includes SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and related bat coronaviruses.

Researchers have used genetically modified phages to harness pre-existing vaccine immunity and destroy cancer cells in mice. The approach eradicated tumors in 44 percent of treated animals with no recurrence after a year.

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed an experimental treatment that uses sugar-coated nanoparticles to deliver genetic material across the blood-brain barrier in a mouse model of glioblastoma. The approach restored a tumor-suppressing protein and increased median survival by 50 percent while shrinking tumors without measurable organ toxicity.

Researchers at McGill University report a drug-based method to temporarily enhance natural killer (NK) cells—an immune cell type—by inhibiting two proteins, improving the cells’ ability to attack several aggressive cancers in preclinical experiments.

Researchers at USC Stem Cell have developed a method to produce large numbers of immune cell precursors that can be engineered to target cancer. The approach, published in the journal Cell, uses granulocyte-monocyte progenitors that self-renew in the laboratory.

An experimental therapy called VERVE-102 lowered LDL cholesterol by up to 62 percent after a single dose in an early safety study. The results come from a Phase I trial involving 35 patients with high cholesterol or early cardiovascular disease. Data were published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
