TROP-2 Directed Antibody-Drug Conjugates: Clinical Pipeline
In the last decade, ADCs (Antibody-Drug Conjugates) have emerged as a class of drug therapies to treat cancer by combining potent anti-cancer drugs (i.e., payloads) with specific monoclonal antibodies that deliver anti-cancer drugs to the tumor site. ADCs include three important portions comprising a monoclonal antibody, a linker (organic spacer), and an anti-cancer drug. ADCs […]
Cancer Vaccines: Advancements in Cancer Immunization
Cancer vaccines are a potential research-based approach to cancer management and therapy that uses the immune system to target and remove cancer cells. These vaccines attempt to prevent the development of certain malignancies by targeting microorganisms linked to these diseases, such as the HPV vaccine, which is intended to reduce cervical cancer incidence. Furthermore, cancer […]
How Fatal Can Be Medical Device Biases For Human Life?
Some pandemics last a few years, while others continue to evolve into more lethal forms, causing ever-increasing damage. The case of medical device biases is one of those everlasting pandemics. We can thank COVID-19 for bestowing the issue with the needed limelight. According to a recent estimate, healthcare-based racial disparities cost $93 billion in extended […]
Femtech: Changing Dynamics of Women’s Health Industry
As the saying goes, a woman’s health is synonymous with the family. Men may be the patriarch, but the matriarch runs the world in real terms. The womb of a mother is where life begins. Thus, their health becomes imperative. Interestingly, the Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus, dating back to 1800 BCE, also discusses female health. It […]
Medical Devices Industry: Emerging Commercialization
The prolific digital transformation has made doctors’ tasks twofold: to improve health outcomes & to be mindful of patients’ perceptions of care. Moreover, connected medical devices (MD) ease monitoring and managing patient health vitals at home and improve long-term non-acute care. As per UN statistics, chronic and non-communicable diseases (NCD) cause 75% of worldwide deaths (2022) and […]
Oncology Pre-Clinical & Clinical Assets
The success rate for reaching a molecule from the R&D stage to the Phase I clinical stage is below 10% and the average time for a drug/biologics development to get NDA/BLA status is 8.3 years. The client approached us to identify the preclinical/early clinical trial candidates that have shown potential activity in pre-clinical/early clinical studies […]
AR/VR Surgery: Future Shaping Realities
The evolving technological scene in the digital surgical workspace has led to the emergence of several state-of-the-art innovations in the medical sector. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are rapidly becoming available, accessible, and, affordable. The future of surgery is virtual, mixed, and, augmented; and offers many improvements and cost reductions for medical training. […]
Digitalization – Paving Way to Obesity Management
Obesity is a condition in which immoderate fat accumulates in the body, causing health risks. Management of weight is crucial to restrict this condition, which includes changing lifestyle (dieting, behavioral changes, and physical exercise), taking prescribed medications, or surgery. Management programs can show the weight loss effect in the short term or long term. There […]
Digital Healthcare IoT Technology Transforming Medical Services
The diagnostic, biomedical and e-healthcare sectors have been substantially impacted by the digital revolution and advancement of information technologies, such as the smartphone industry, 5G network and the emergence of Big data era. Internet of Things (IoT) has recently had a significant impact on various industries, including digital imaging/diagnostics, telemedicine/telehealth, smart sensing, lab-on-a-phone, etc. IoT […]
Smart Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine is primarily an outcome of utilizing tissue engineering, stem cell therapies, and artificial 3D printed organs to amplify the natural healing processes in the body or replace a permanently damaged organ. Bringing in together the expertise of various fields including genetics, biology, biochemistry, information technology and robotics, regenerative medicine seeks to accelerate the […]
