Ibex Launches Galen™ Breast HER2, Supporting Improved Biomarker Scoring in Breast Cancer Patients

星期四, 九月 7, 2023

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ibex Medical Analytics (Ibex), the leader in AI-powered cancer diagnostics, today announced the launch of Galen™ Breast HER2, an AI-powered solution that aids pathologists in setting a higher standard for accurate and reproducible HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) scoring in breast cancer patients.

Key Points: 
  • HER2, one of the proteins responsible for division and proliferation of breast cancer cells, is expressed in many breast tumors and its accurate assessment is critical for identifying patients who are likely to benefit from HER2-directed therapies.
  • Traditionally, pathologists evaluate HER2 in tumor samples visually, which may result in varied interpretations as scoring is semi-quantitative and thus somewhat subjective1.
  • Galen Breast HER2 was developed and validated by Ibex in collaboration with AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo .
  • Information about Galen Breast HER2 and Galen Breast will be available at the 35th European Congress of Pathology in Dublin, Ireland, between September 9-13 (Ibex Medical Analytics - booth number 23).

星期一, 六月 26, 2023

DALLAS, June 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Instil Bio, Inc. (“Instil”) (NASDAQ: TIL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing tumor infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL, therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer, today reported an oral presentation at the British Society for Gene and Cell Therapy Annual Conference, demonstrating that its proprietary CoStimulatory Antigen Receptor (CoStAR) platform enhances activity of TILs against autologous tumor.

Key Points: 
  • The presentation highlighted CoStAR’s unique mechanism of action which results in greatly enhanced activity of TILs when activation occurs through both the native TCR and engineered CoStAR receptors.
  • Additionally, novel data demonstrated that Instil’s FRα-CoStAR enhances activity of TILs against autologous tumors with varied expression of FRα including ovarian, renal, and non-small cell lung cancer tumors.
  • The robust activity of NSCLC, ovarian, and renal carcinoma CoStAR-TILs against autologous tumor exceeded that of genetically unmodified melanoma TILs, as measured by secretion of IFNγ.
  • “These preclinical data continue to support our excitement around the anticipated resumption of the clinical study of ITIL-306 in patients with advanced cancers which express FRα.”
