CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, today announced plans to submit a New Drug Submission (NDS) for AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS with Health Canada in the first half of...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMLX) today announced that two abstracts detailing next steps in the development of the Company’s investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), AMX0114, for the potential treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and findings from a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate [PB] and...
Quebec City, Canada – In people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), changes in neurons appear to activate immune cells. Lowering the inflammation could reduce the symptoms of the disease, according to a study led by Chantelle Sephton, a professor at Université Laval’s Faculty of Medicine. ALS is caused by the...
HCC is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the third most frequent cause of cancer-related death. Only about 20% of HCC patients are eligible for surgical resection. Therefore, RFA has been used increasingly as a safe technique for treating hepatic tumors. However, for hypervascular HCC, RFA appears...
Amsterdam, Netherlands – More than 80% of patients with tuberculosis, the world’s most deadly infection, do not have a persistent cough, despite this being seen as a key symptom of the disease. The infection is predominantly transmitted by coughing, but probably also through simply breathing. Research, led by Amsterdam UMC...
St Louis, Missouri – By recruiting the immune system to combat tumor cells, immunotherapy has improved survival rates, offering hope to millions of cancer patients. However, only about one in five people responds favorably to these treatments. With a goal of understanding and addressing immunotherapy’s limitations, researchers at Washington University...
It has been shown that constitutively activated STAT3 is detected in many HCC cell lines and tissues. This suggests that STAT3 is a promising molecular target for HCC gene therapy. RNA interference (RNAi) is a post-transcriptional gene-silencing mechanism, in which the homologous RNA sequences could be introduced into cells that...
Arlington, TX – Lung cancer is not the most common form of cancer, but it is by far the deadliest. Despite treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, only about a quarter of all people with the disease will live more than five years after diagnosis, and lung cancer...
Liège, Belgium – An international research team led by scientists from the University of Liège has discovered an interesting new therapeutic target for the treatment of melanoma resistant to targeted therapies. Inhibition of the VARS enzyme could prevent this therapeutic resistance by resensitising tumours resistant to these targeted therapies. Melanoma...
