UC San Diego School of Medicine started Phase Ib breast cancer trial

A team of researchers at the University of California (UC) San Diego School of Medicine initiated a Phase Ib clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cirmtuzumab and standard chemotherapy combination for the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer.

The trial will enrol up to 15 patients whose cancer cannot be removed surgically in order to administer the combination therapy for a period of six months.

For the trial, the researchers will combine cirmtuzumab with paclitaxel (Taxol), a chemotherapy medication originally derived from the Pacific yew tree and has been proved to be effective in various types of cancer treatments.


MGC Pharmaceuticals received approval for Phase II trial of CogniCann

MGC Pharmaceuticals (MXC) received approval from the University of Notre Dame in Western Australia’s (UNDA) Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) to carry out a Phase II clinical trial to examine the effects of CogniCann for the treatment of patients with mild dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

The approval was granted following the completion of an ethical review by HREC, in line with Australia’s National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research rules.

Subject to Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval, the 16-week, randomised, double-blind, crossover, placebo-control trial is expected to start early next year.


AstraZeneca reported negative top-line results from AERISTO trial

AstraZeneca reported negative top-line results from the AERISTO trial, a Phase IIIb study of Bevespi Aerosphere (glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate) against umeclidinium/vilanterol for the treatment of patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The results revealed that Bevespi Aerosphere showed non-inferiority to umeclidinium/vilanterol on peak forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), but did not show improvement on peak FEV1 or non-inferiority on trough FEV1.

The trial, however, showed that the safety and tolerability data of Bevespi Aerosphere were consistent with the known profile of the medicine.
