Overview

Key Points: 
  • Overview
    This medicine was designated as an orphan medicine for the treatment of ovarian cancer in the European Union on 9 December 2022.
  • All medicines, including designated orphan medicines, must be authorised before they can be marketed and made available to patients in the EU.
  • Upifitamab rilsodotin is composed of an antibody that binds NaPi2b and a drug called AF-HPA which prevents cell division, resulting in cell death.
  • EU register of orphan medicines
    The list of medicines that have received an orphan designation in the EU is available on the European Commission's website:

Making Long-Term Memories Requires Nerve-Cell Damage

"But our findings suggest that inflammation in certain neurons in the brain's hippocampal region is essential for making long-lasting memories."

Key Points: 
  • "But our findings suggest that inflammation in certain neurons in the brain's hippocampal region is essential for making long-lasting memories."
  • But looking more closely, we found, to our surprise, that TLR9 was activated only in clusters of hippocampal cells that showed DNA damage."
  • But in this population of hippocampal neurons, the DNA damage appeared to be more substantial and sustained.
  • Importantly, the researchers found that blocking the TLR9 inflammatory pathway in hippocampal neurons not only prevented mice from forming long-term memories but also caused profound genomic instability, i.e, a high frequency of DNA damage in these neurons.

Pioneering Technique Reveals New Layer of Human Gene Regulation

Now a new study led by Nudler's team at NYU Langone Health reveals that their new technique, Long Range Cleavage sequencing (LORAX-seq), can directly detect where backtracking events begin and end.

Key Points: 
  • Now a new study led by Nudler's team at NYU Langone Health reveals that their new technique, Long Range Cleavage sequencing (LORAX-seq), can directly detect where backtracking events begin and end.
  • The results also suggest that persistent backtracking occurs frequently throughout genomes, happens more often near certain gene types, and has functions well beyond DNA repair.
  • "If further work expands our findings to different developmental programs and pathological conditions, backtracking may be akin to epigenetics, the discovery of which revealed a surprising new layer of gene regulation without changing the DNA code."
  • Locked, backtracked complexes are less likely to be rescued by TFIIS-driven cleavage, and more likely to delay transcription of the gene involved.

ProLynx announces initiation of Phase I/II clinical trial of its DNA-damaging agent PLX038 in patients with rare CNS tumors at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)

National Institutes of Health’s NCI investigators Dr. Marta Penas-Prado and Dr. Mark Gilbert are conducting the trial.

Key Points: 
  • National Institutes of Health’s NCI investigators Dr. Marta Penas-Prado and Dr. Mark Gilbert are conducting the trial.
  • High levels of MYC drive oncogenesis in many cancers and induce DNA changes leading to the formation of “topoisome complexes”.
  • The NCI trial will assess whether PLX038 is safe and efficacious in primary CNS tumors driven by MYC or MYCN amplifications.
  • For patients interested in enrolling in this clinical trial, please call NCI’s toll-free number: 1-800-4-Cancer (1-800-422-6237) (TTY: 1-800-332-8615); visit the website: https://trials.cancer.gov; and/or email: [email protected].
