New Article on Genetic Differences in patients with Hip and Knee OA

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of knee and hip osteoarthritis uncovers genetic differences between patients treated with joint replacement and patients without joint replacement

Genome-wide association meta-analysis indicate differences in genetic associations between knee and hip osteoarthritis depending on joint replacement status. Genetic correlations with pain phenotypes tended to be stronger in the non-surgical groups. For the surgical phenotypes, 10 novel variants were identified, including genes involved in autophagy (rs2447606 in ATG7) and mechanotransduction (rs202127176 in PIEZO1).

IAG is Presenting at Society of Neuro-Oncology Meeting

IAG team and Julia O’Lynn, IAG’s Director of Bio Innovation and Strategic Partnerships, will be attending the Society of Neuro-Oncology (SNO 2022) 27th Annual Meeting and Educational Day in Tampa, Florida, on November 16 – 20, 2022.

IAG’s team will be meeting with biotech companies and addressing their challenges including trial design, dealing with pseudo-progression, finding optimal endpoints to demonstrate novel therapeutics’ efficacy. We will speak about our platform DYNAMIKA and use of Artificial Intelligence in neuro-oncology trials and explore how IAG’s novel strategies, including advanced imaging biomarkers and AI can support precision medicine and drug development.

Together with our biotech partner CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc., we will be presenting the preliminary results from a  randomized, controlled trial of Berubicin.

Currently, 31 patients are enrolled with 21 in the Berubicin arm and 10 in the Lomustine arm. Trial design: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04762069 The data available shows that Berubicin and Lomustine arms are presently balanced with relatively comparable safety profiles. This study will evaluate the efficacy of this novel drug and potentially provide therapeutic options for patients after first-line therapy.  An updated profile of the patient population, safety, and initial efficacy will be presented.
