The Jasper team is proud to recognize #UrticariaDay2024 this October 1st!

On Urticaria Day, we remember Professor Marcus Maurer (1966–2024), a remarkable leader in the field of dermatology and allergy. His untimely passing on 7 September 2024 has left a profound impact on the global allergy and immunology community. Professor Maurer's contributions to urticaria research were transformative. As Deputy Director of the Institute of Allergology at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Co-Director of Immunology and Allergology at Fraunhofer ITMP, his pioneering work on mast cells, urticaria, and related conditions significantly advanced both scientific understanding and patient care. Through initiatives like GA²LEN, UCARE, and ACARE, he reshaped how urticaria is diagnosed and treated worldwide, providing better outcomes and hope for countless patients. His legacy of leadership, collaboration, and mentorship will continue to inspire future generations. Today, we honour his life’s work and the indelible mark he left on the field of urticaria research. Our thoughts remain with his family, and we hold his memory close. Professor Maurer, your dedication and the „Never give up“ spirit will forever guide us.

October 1st is #UrticariaDay2024. Chronic urticaria is a debilitating inflammatory condition driven by the degranulation of mast cells in the skin, which can be spontaneous (CSU) or inducible (CIndU). Urticaria is characterized by raised hives or wheals on the skin accompanied by itching, swelling and/or a burning sensation. Urticaria often comes and goes within a few hours, with individual hives lasting for less than 24 hours. However, new wheals may continue to appear as old ones fade and flare ups can often be present for much longer periods and thus diagnosed as chronic. Chronic urticaria impacts people of all ages across the world and is frequently associated with significant disease burden beyond the effects of the disease on the skin. Unfortunately, currently approved therapies are ineffective in a large portion of urticaria patients, leading to a high unmet medical need.

Curious about Urticaria? Unravel its mysteries with these valuable sources: - Educational resources. Take advantage of reputable educational resources and websites that provide information about Urticaria, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. - Allergy testing. If your Urticaria is suspected to be caused by allergens, allergy testing may be recommended to identify specific factors that may cause your Urticaria. This can include skin prick tests, blood tests, or patch tests conducted by allergists or immunologists. Chronic Urticaria is very rarely caused by external allergens. However, if your doctor suspects that you may have an allergic urticaria, they will carry out prick tests, patch tests or blood tests.

We recently announced that a registered trademark has been allowed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for our proprietary Jasper c-Kit Mouse™ model. The Jasper c-Kit Mouse™ model enables direct testing of c-Kit inhibitors across numerous diseases, which is not possible with standard models. We believe this tool enables the generation of preclinical data with superior clinical translatability, and in turn, gives us a strategic advantage as we expand our clinical development programs. For example, the Jasper c-Kit Mouse™ model was used to generate preclinical data supporting briquilimab’s potential in asthma, contributing to expansion of our pipeline with the addition of our development program in asthma. Here are links to studies we’ve conducted using the Jasper c-Kit Mouse™ model: https://lnkd.in/gqdSkh7D https://lnkd.in/gTMEw_e7 https://lnkd.in/gxrJeja4 https://lnkd.in/gyfdvynS
