Breakthrough: Localized Pain Relief via Known Reaction

A team led by Professor Andrew Abell developed a targeted prodrug for chronic pain relief, using a chemical reaction with reactive oxygen species. The prodrug, tested in preclinical models, provided localized relief for sciatic nerve injuries and other chronic pain conditions. The compound showed no tolerance induction and received funding from the US NIH HEAL Initiative for further pre-clinical trials. A related company, Immunologic, aims to develop the prodrug for human trials.

Cancer trial: retraining immune cells offers new hope for patients in personalized medicine

SUPLEXA, a personalized cancer treatment, trains patients' immune cells to fight cancer. Developed by Alloplex Biotherapeutics, it involves a simple blood draw, ex vivo cell training, and reinfusion. The first-in-human trial showed no serious adverse events and significant clinical benefits in advanced colorectal and renal cell carcinoma patients. The FDA has encouraged Alloplex to proceed with Phase 2 trials, combining SUPLEXA with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
