AbelZeta Pharma has reclaimed global rights to prizloncabtagene autoleucel from Janssen and secured FDA clearance to begin US trials, positioning the anti-CD20/CD19 bispecific CAR-T for patients who relapse after existing CAR-T therapies.

This week’s BioPharm Brief covers positive phase 3 melanoma results for Merck and Moderna’s individualized neoantigen therapy, a personalized cancer vaccine manufacturing platform entering clinical use, and a new brain-penetrant antibody approach for glioblastoma.

AI tools that extract information from unstructured medical records could help oncology practices identify eligible clinical trial patients, surface care gaps, and compare treatment outcomes across real-world cohorts, according to Shaalan Beg and Eron Kelly of ConcertAI.

The companies are targeting a protein on glioblastoma's treatment-resistant tumor stem cells, which could open a new path past the blood-brain barrier.

Real-time process analytics and digital manufacturing systems could generate the reliable data needed for artificial intelligence to deliver more predictive insights in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, according to Bryan Hassell, founder and CEO of Nirrin Technologies.

Merck and Moderna's Intismeran Autogene Plus Pembrolizumab Meets Endpoints in Phase 3 Melanoma Trial
Merck and Moderna report that the personalized mRNA plus mAb cancer therapy cleared its first phase 3 hurdle, cutting recurrence risk beyond pembrolizumab alone.

NTx Bio's NTxscribe CORE platform is being used by Baylor College of Medicine to manufacture mRNA for DOC1021, Diakonos Oncology's personalized dendritic cell vaccine, now dosing patients in a Phase 1 trial for refractory melanoma.

The BioPharm Brief: Longer-Acting, Life-Changing, and Fast-Tracked
Today’s BioPharm Brief looks at a long-acting anti-VEGF therapy entering clinical trials, the first commercial use of imlifidase in Australia for kidney transplantation, and FDA Fast Track designation for a platelet-derived biologic for chronic sciatica.

CellxLife CEO Dr Eric von Hofe and Mayo Clinic immunology professor Dr Keith L. Knutson explain how dendritic cell vaccines generate long-term immune memory to prevent cancer recurrence.

Eyconis has dosed the first patients in OVERTURE, a phase 1b/2a first-in-human trial of EYC-0305, an investigational anti-VEGF antibody fragment designed for six-month or longer dosing intervals in wet age-related macular degeneration, marking the company's transition to clinical-stage status.

Australia's first commercial imlifidase transplant offers a path forward for patients whose antibodies had blocked a compatible kidney.

The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to C-1101, Consano Bio's investigational platelet-derived multi-protein biologic for chronic, painful lumbosacral radiculopathy, following the drug's recent IND clearance and as the company advances a Phase 1 trial evaluating the epidural injection.

Genprex moves its diabetes gene therapy toward the clinic, tapping a CGMP CDMO after preclinical models reversed hyperglycemia in mice.

Today’s BioPharm Brief looks at an oncology trial discontinuation, an AI-designed glioblastoma vaccine, and an expanded biosimilars collaboration.
