Diverse Biotech announces orphan-drug designation for treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma

Diverse Biotech | May 04, 2020

Diverse Biotech, Inc. www.diversebiotech.com has announced the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an orphan-drug designation request for one of its investigational new therapies for treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma, in conjunction with standard treatment, following adjuvant combined chemo-radiation.  Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the drug for various development incentives of the ODA, (Orphan Drug Act) including tax credits for qualified clinical testing. For a drug to qualify for orphan designation both the drug and the disease or condition must meet certain criteria. "We are very excited about the FDA orphan-drug designation for an investigational therapy the company is currently researching.  Glioblastoma is a devastating disease with very low 5-year survival rates.  The orphan drug designation helps Diverse Biotech to advance our program, designed to combat such a terrible disease, and potentially improve the survival rates.  We are committed to developing unique and powerful new medicines to help patients with diseases where there may be limited treatment alternatives.  Our aspiration is to develop new drugs to change the standards of care in different diseases starting with glioblastoma," said Stella Vnook, Diverse Biotech's Chief Executive Officer.

TriLink BioTechnologies Introduces Latest mRNA Capping Technology: CleanCap® M6 analog

Globenewswire | May 15, 2023

TriLink BioTechnologies a Maravai LifeSciences company and global provider of life science reagents and services, has launched its newest cap analog, CleanCap® M6 . The latest CleanCap analog is expected to help developers and researchers maximize the impact of their mRNA therapeutics and vaccines while reducing overall manufacturing costs, bringing life-changing medicines to market faster. With the introduction of the CleanCap M6 technology, legacy capping methods like enzymatic and ARCA may be a thing of the past. By combining the modification of 3’OMe on the m7-Guanosine and the additional methyl modification on the +1 Adenosine, the CleanCap M6 analog is expected to improve mRNA potency with the highest protein expression of any CleanCap analog yet. Combined with technology’s single-pot reaction capabilities that shrink manufacturing times and increase mRNA yields with a purity profile of >95%, CleanCap analogs are novel mRNA Cap structures, which may improve the benefits of an mRNA therapeutic or vaccine. “TriLink’s portfolio of CleanCap mRNA capping technology is expected to be the new go-to capping method in the very near future - it is the future,” shared Kate Broderick Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer at Maravai LifeSciences. “What excites me most about this novel analog is its ability to make mRNA an even more powerful therapeutic than we have seen previously.” The company’s first CleanCap analog launched in 2017 and this capping technology has been incorporated in one of the first commercially approved COVID-19 vaccines. With the introduction of CleanCap M6, TriLink has developed its most robust analog to date. Studies have shown that the innovative product increases mRNA expression by 30% or more versus enzymatic capping methods and is estimated to reduce manufacturing costs by 20-40%. “mRNA is clearly an emerging therapeutic modality where mRNA vaccines and therapeutics are expanding rapidly,” added Drew Burch, EVP of TriLink’s Nucleic Acid Products division. “CleanCap M6, and the entire CleanCap portfolio, joins a strong roster of synthesized nucleic acids, NTPs, and more that we expect to continue to grow.” In addition to the CleanCap mRNA capping portfolio, TriLink has scale-up expertise and unique mRNA, oligonucleotide & plasmid production capabilities for companies focused on therapeutic, vaccine, diagnostic breakthroughs, leaning on its 25-plus years of experience to provide superior CDMO services. Data and customer insights garnered from a market assessment conducted by a third-party consulting firm on behalf of TriLink BioTechnologies in November 2022. About Maravai Maravai is a leading life sciences company providing critical products to enable the development of drug therapies, diagnostics, and novel vaccines. Maravai’s companies are leaders in providing products and services in the fields of nucleic acid synthesis and biologics safety testing to many of the world’s leading biopharmaceutical, vaccine, diagnostics, and cell and gene therapy companies.
