Stem Cell Research – encouraging results – caustiously optimistic


DR. Karra's avatarTGI: Thrive Health

Two HIV-positive patients in the United States who underwent bone marrow transplants for cancer have stopped anti-retroviral therapy and still show no detectable sign of the HIV virus, researchers said Wednesday.

The first person reported to be cured of HIV, American Timothy Ray Brown, underwent a stem cell transplant in 2007 to treat his leukemia. He was reported by his German doctors to have been cured of HIV two years later.

The researchers, Timothy Henrich and Daniel Kuritzkes of the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, announced last year that blood samples taken from the men — who both had blood cancers — showed no traces of the HIV virus eight months after they received bone marrow transplants to replace cancerous blood cells with healthy donor cells.

“These findings clearly provide important new information that might well alter the current thinking about HIV and gene therapy,” Kevin

Biosimilar drugs step up complexity, by Phillip Broadwith


The first ever generic monoclonal antibody therapies have been recommended for approval in Europe. The two biosimilar versions of infliximab (Johnson & Johnson’s Remicade) have passed assessment by the European Medicines Agency’s committee for medicinal products for human use, but will need to be fully approved by the European commission before they can be marketed.

Monoclonal antibodies are significantly larger and more complex than previously approved biosimilars, which include growth hormones and erythropoietin. Proving that they are functionally similar to the original drug is therefore complex. Both manufacturers, Celltrion and Hospira, had to complete human trials to prove that their generic infliximab products were as safe and effective as Remicade in treating autoimmune diseases.
