Today at #ATS2024, Brad Perkins, our CMO, is presenting the latest data from PICKUP, a multicenter study on 257 enrolled adults suspected of pneumonia. Results showed that the #KariusTest is a cost-effective testing option to identify the causative pathogen in hospitalized immunocompromised patients with pneumonia. Metagenomic sequencing is a promising new strategy for diagnosing the etiology of pneumonia in these patients. Visit us today at poster P1345, Abstract #9101. https://hubs.li/Q02x_5RS0 #metagenomic #NGS #immunocompromised #pneumonia

Great to see the progress made in the development of our Gentian PETIA NT-proBNP assay! My colleagues Aleksandra Mandic Havelka and Ly Thi Tran are currently attending the Heart Failure 2024 conference in Lisbon, where they have presented two posters addressing the impact of glycosylation on the detection and quantification of NT-proBNP. During the conference, the LC MS/MS and PETIA methods were discussed, both providing independence from glycosylation of NT-proBNP. Our research findings underscore the significance of glycosylation in accurately measuring NT-proBNP concentration, shedding light on the potential underestimation of NT-proBNP levels by assays targeting glycosylated regions. Given the considerable variability in levels and site occupancy of O-glycosylated proteins, there is growing optimism that immunoassays focusing on glycosylation-free regions of NT-proBNP could offer substantial benefits in diagnosing, prognosing, and monitoring therapy for heart failure (HF) in specific patient groups and disease states. These assays show promise in detecting endogenous NT-proBNP regardless of its glycosylation status.
#DiagnosticEfficiency👩🏼🔬 Gentian’s CSO Aleksandra Mandic Havelka and R&D Scientist Ly Thi Tran are attending the #HeartFailure2024 conference in Lisbon, and have presented two posters related to impact of glycosylation on detection and quantification of #NTproBNP. Two methods developed by Gentian have been discussed, the LC MS/MS and PETIA method, both of which are independent of glycosylation of NT-proBNP. Our results confirm the impact of glycosylation on measurement of NT-proBNP concentration, and underestimation of NT-proBNP levels by assays based on antibodies targeting glycosylated regions of NT-proBNP. Given the considerable variability in levels and site occupancy of O-glycosylated proteins, it is reasonable to anticipate that immunoassays targeting glycosylation-free regions of NT-proBNP may offer advantages in #HearthFailure (HF) diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring for specific patient groups and disease states, since these assays can detect endogenous NT-proBNP regardless of its glycosylation status.

“Understanding this complex disease requires better model systems and large-scale data” - Nature Portfolio Great to see our name in this article highlighting how, by spending more time characterising the disease, innovative biotechs are helping expand treatment options for patients ➡️ https://lnkd.in/extD4cmE Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) affects 1.5-6.45% of the global population. But the search for an effective drug has not been easy – with long, unsuccessful and costly clinical trials frustrating companies, investors and patients. The recent approval of Madrigal’s resmetirom is great news for MASH patients, signifying a welcome shift in how we treat this disease. We believe that by deepening our understanding of how fibrotic liver diseases develop, we can advance the portfolio of therapeutic options to treat it. A notion shared by Nature Portfolio. #TeamOchre #biotech #genomics #LiverDisease

Oculis just announced Positive Topline Results of Phase 2b RELIEF Trial with Licaminlimab/OCS-02, a game-changing approach in treating Dry Eye Disease through precision medicine. Key highlights from the trial: - Notable improvements in multiple efficacy endpoints, with more pronounced effects in the TNFR1 genetic biomarker population. - Patients with the TNFR1 biomarker demonstrated a 7-fold higher response on symptoms and 5-fold higher response on signs, showcasing the potential of personalized treatment approaches in about 20% of DED patients. With these unprecedented results from the Relief trial we are now focused on accelerating Licaminlimab/OCS-02 development plans to address the unmet needs of individuals suffering from Dry Eye, a condition known for its lack of consistently effective and well-tolerated treatments due to population heterogeneity. #Oculis #DryEyeDisease #PrecisionMedicine #HealthcareInnovation

Today is International Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) Awareness Day! Pierre Fabre Laboratories, alongside the EspeRare foundation proudly join the cause to raise awareness for Ectodermal Dysplasias, rare genetic diseases affecting individuals and families worldwide 🌐. We invite you to join us in celebrating the strides made in patient engagement and acknowledging the collective efforts shaping a brighter future for those affected by rare diseases. 🏆 Indeed, through engaging ED patient’s groups as equal partners and co-contributors in our clinical program, we are advancing the potential to co-develop what could become the first pre-natal treatment for X-Linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (XLHED), a rare genetic disease. The investigational treatment was designed with the objective to bring transformative and lifelong impacts and the project has received support from regulators in Europe and the United States. #EctodermalDysplasias #RareDisease #PierreFabre

In patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, utilizing a computational phenotype (i.e., an electronic algorithm) for identifying disease relapse has demonstrated strong performance in retrospect. This was based on findings from individuals enrolled in the Rare Kidney Disease Registry and Biobank, with the results published in the journal RMD Open.

Human #Tuberculosis is difficult and lengthy to cure, even in cases of fully drug-susceptible disease. #MRL researchers and collaborators provide a foundational basis for addressing this problem. Using advanced spatial drug quantification methodologies, along with conventional #CFU and an investigational #Pharmacodynamic marker that quantifies ongoing #rRNA synthesis (i.e., RS ratio®), the authors identify vastly different #BacterialPhenotypes in C3HeB/FeJ mice, that show differing levels of susceptibility to #Antibiotics with diverse mechanisms-of-action. 🐭 This work provides insight into how #Microenvironmental niches may contribute to the long treatment durations required to cure tuberculosis: https://lnkd.in/g4s_qrnS. #CSU Authors: Allison Bauman, Michelle Ramey, Lisa Massoudi, Brendan Podell, and Gregory Robertson. #Pharmokinetics #TB #Mycobateria #DrugTreatment #MIP #CSUResearch #MicrobialMetrics
