Monday, October 23, 2023

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - Despite being a relatively rare form of cancer, pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest in the oncology field, the third leading cause of cancer death in the USA. Still not fully understood, pancreatic cancer's 5-year survival rate is currently only 12%. New analysis of data from the National Program of Cancer Registries database, covering around 65% of the US population, suggests that the incidence of pancreatic cancer among individuals younger than 55 years is increasing more rapidly than in those 55 years or older, and also more quickly in women than in men. As more and more cases of young people are showing up, calls from the leading pancreatic cancer organization PanCAN to increase funding for research are getting louder. Thankfully, within the biotech sector, there have been plenty of developments giving hope in the fight against pancreatic cancer, including those from Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ:ONCY) (TSX:ONC), Eli Lilly and Company, Roche Holding AG (OTC:RHHBY), BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX), and even 23andMe Holding Co (NASDAQ:ME).

Key Points: 
  • As more and more cases of young people are showing up, calls from the leading pancreatic cancer organization PanCAN to increase funding for research are getting louder .
  • "By teaming up with PanCAN, we believe we may be able to expedite development and provide pancreatic cancer patients with a bespoke immunotherapeutic treatment option."
  • The BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants may also be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers.
  • "It's an important milestone that shows we're headed in the right direction – and this means so much to all those affected by pancreatic cancer."

Thursday, August 31, 2023

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 23andMe Holding Co. (Nasdaq: ME) (23andMe), a leading human genetics and biopharmaceutical company, today announced the Company has received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand its existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk Report*. The clearance allows 23andMe to report an additional 41 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes known to be associated with higher risk for breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer. 23andMe received the first FDA authorization for a direct-to-consumer genetic test for cancer risk in 2018 to report 3 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, primarily found in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Many of the 41 BRCA variants added through this clearance are known to have a higher rate of occurrence in populations traditionally underserved by genetic testing, including the African American and Hispanic/Latino communities. This marks the Company’s fourth FDA clearance for genetic cancer risk.

Key Points: 
  • The clearance allows 23andMe to report an additional 41 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes known to be associated with higher risk for breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancer.
  • In addition to the 510(k) clearance, the FDA also granted 23andMe the first-ever Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP), which allows the Company to add additional validated BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants and associated cancer risk information to its BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report without additional premarket review.
  • 23andMe also underwent robust analytical validation in order to meet FDA requirements to add variants to the BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) report.
  • This clearance is the eighth pre-market authorization granted by the FDA to 23andMe covering its multiplexed Personal Genome Service.
