Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a major barrier in cancer immunotherapy - but what if we could prevent it before it begins? Dr Liam Tremble, Principal Scientist at Poolbeg Pharma, discusses how POLB 001, an oral anti-inflammatory candidate, could offer a new way forward.
Three-dimensional (3D) models are reshaping pre-clinical drug development by providing more accurate insights into drug safety and efficacy. Explore how these advanced in vitro systems help improve predictions and reduce the risk of failure in early-stage drug discovery.
The new study’s findings suggest that CRS can be treated with an IL-6 receptor antibody that has a short half-life.
An analysis reveals that in comparison to other inflammatory diseases such as cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and sepsis, the levels of cytokines in severely ill COVID-19 patients is low.
