Article Abstract
On September 27-28, 2018 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Critical Path Institute's Transplant Therapeutics Consortium convened a public workshop titled "Evidence-Based Treatment Decisions in Transplantation: The Right Dose & Regimen for the Right Patient/Individualized Treatment." The workshop facilitated cooperative engagement of transplant community stakeholders, including pharmaceutical industry, academic researchers, clinicians, patients, and regulators to discuss methods to advance the development of novel immunosuppressive drugs for use in solid organ transplantation. Day 1 focused on the utility of biomarkers in drug development with considerations for seeking regulatory endorsement for use in clinical trials. Biomarkers add value to drug development by improving patient selection criteria, safety monitoring, endpoint selection, and more. Regulatory endorsement through the FDA Biomarker Qualification Program encourages the use of biomarkers in drug development by instilling confidence and consistency in biomarker interpretation across trials. Public-private partnerships or consortia allow stakeholders to share expertise, resources, and data in pursuit of biomarker qualification. Biomarkers relevant to pretransplant risk assessment, early posttransplant care, and assessment of immune response, immunosuppressive drug efficacy, and graft function as discussed on day 1 of the workshop are described.

Introduction: Topoisomerase (topo) II inhibitors continue to represent a promising approach in anticancer therapy, although their clinical application is hampered by drug resistance and dose limiting toxicities.
Area Covered: We performed a critical analysis of patent literature from January 2016 to January 2025 on topo II inhibitors in oncology using the online databases Espacenet, Wipo, and Google patent.
Expert Opinion: Substantial progress in the development of novel topo II inhibitors through synthetic chemistry, natural product isolation, molecular modification, and in silico screening was recorded.

It has become evident from decades of clinical trials that multimodal therapeutic approaches with focus on cell intrinsic and microenvironmental cues are needed to improve understanding and treat the rare, inoperable, and ultimately fatal diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), now categorized as a diffuse midline glioma. In this study we report the development and characterization of an in vitro system utilizing 3D Tumor Tissue Analogs (TTA), designed to replicate the intricate DIPG microenvironment. The innate ability of fluorescently labeled human brain endothelial cells, microglia, and patient-derived DIPG cell lines to self-assemble has been exploited to generate multicellular 3D TTAs that mimic tissue-like microstructures, enabling an in- depth exploration of the spatio-temporal dynamics between neoplastic and stromal cells.

The global emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the urgent need for effective disinfection strategies to mitigate virus transmission. Electrolyzed water (EW), an eco-friendly and cost-effective biocidal agent, has garnered attention for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. This study evaluates the virucidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal capacities of EW with diverse pH, with a focus on its effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens.

Background And Objective: Sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) antibody-drug conjugate, has been approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, including at least one of them for advanced disease. Although TROP2 evaluation is not required for patient selection, survival data from the ASCENT trial show improved response rates in patients with high TROP2 expression by immunohistochemistry. However, there is no standardized testing assay for these patients.

Cardiac organoids are 3D self-assembling structures that recapitulate some of the functional, structural, and cellular aspects of the developing heart. Cardiac organoid modeling has overcome many of the limitations of current cardiac modeling systems by providing a human-relevant, multicellular, spatially advanced model that can replicate early key developmental stages of human cardiogenesis. Recent advancements in cardiac organoid modeling have enabled further understanding of cardiogenesis, cardiovascular disease, and drug-induced cardiotoxicity.
