Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Off-Target, On-Point: How Retrogenix® Reduces Risk and Animal Use
Q: How does the FDA recognition influence the regulatory review process and impact drug approval timelines?
While not all specifics are clear, it's expected that FDA recognition will speed up the regulatory review process for any IND submission containing Retrogenix data, improving the drug approval timeline.
Off-Target, On-Point: How Retrogenix® Reduces Risk and Animal Use
Q: Can you explain how this technology works and what sets it apart from previous methods in drug development?
The Retrogenix platform is an in vitro tool that represents over 90% of human plasma membrane and secreted proteins, allowing drug developers to test therapeutics against these proteins without using animals or humans.
From Tumor to Treatment: How PDX Models are Powering Cancer Breakthroughs
Q: How do you envision the role of PDX models evolving in oncology research, especially with advancements in personalized medicine and targeted therapies?
With lab automation and specific readouts enabled by image analysis, PDX models will expand in earlier phases of drug development.
From Tumor to Treatment: How PDX Models are Powering Cancer Breakthroughs
Q: What do you think is the percentage of the treatment of killing a cancer that comes from a drug versus the immune system?
Currently, it's still the drug that kills the tumor cell directly; immunotherapy has begun making breakthroughs but is still in its infancy.
From Tumor to Treatment: How PDX Models are Powering Cancer Breakthroughs
Q: How are PDX models used in drug development, and how do they help in simulating human cancers in preclinical trials?
PDX models are used in later preclinical stages to select the best drug candidates or optimal patient cohorts for clinical trials.
