Kombinierte Antikörpertherapie bei Erwachsenen mit fortgeschrittenem Krebs

Beide in der Studie getesteten Medikamente unterstützen Immunreaktionen gegen Tumorzellen. CS1002 erhöht die Aktivierung und Vermehrung von T-Immunzellen durch Bindung an einen T-Zell-Rezeptor namens CTLA-4. CS1003, auch Nofazinlimab genannt, blockiert das programmierte Zelltodprotein 1, das auf verschiedenen Arten von Immunzellen exprimiert wird und eine Rolle bei der Unterdrückung des Immunsystems spielt.

Disruptive: Hybrid and Decentralized Clinical Trials

PCM Trials, the largest independent mobile research nurse visit provider for decentralized clinical trials (DCTs), today announced the acquisition of EmVenio Research based in Durham, North Carolina. EmVenio is the largest provider of community-based clinical trial sites served with mobile research units. The acquisition, which is effective immediately, strengthens PCM Trials‘ and EmVenio’s abilities to recruit and retain diverse populations for clinical research studies, as required for regulatory approval. Site networks are key to delivering critical study data for sponsors; by combining capabilities with EmVenio, PCM Trials now has access to a site network that is focused on serving underrepresented patient populations in previously hard-to-reach communities and can work flexibly with sponsors to achieve their study goals.

NIH launches research network to evaluate emerging cancer screening technologies

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has launched a clinical trials network to evaluate emerging technologies for cancer screening. The Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN) will support the Biden-Harris administration’s Cancer Moonshot? by investigating how to identify cancers earlier, when they may be easier to treat. Eight groups have received funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of NIH, to carry out the initial activities of the network. In 2024, the network will launch a pilot study, known as the Vanguard Study on Multi-Cancer Detection, to address the feasibility of using multi-cancer detection (MCD) tests in future randomized controlled trials. MCDs are blood tests that can screen for several types of cancers. The study will enroll up to 24,000 people to inform the design of a much larger randomized controlled trial. This larger trial will evaluate whether the benefits…
