RE: SDC-1801 UK NHS Trial?????23 Jun 2024 09:15
good morning,
you are correct 007 in your belief that 1801 trialled in healthy patients only in oz.
as bobbler says most likely cause of the link being down is it has jumped the gun so as to speak as most likely done at the point of cta application.
our nearest potential competitive competitor is likely ropsacitinib a tyk2 jak 2 inhibitor.
jak 2 has associated problems:-
'the jak2 v617f point mutation makes the normal hematopoietic progenitor cells hypersensitive to thrombopoietin, erythropoietin, and myeloid progenitor cells, leading to trilinear hematopoietic myeloproliferation.'
effectively looking at blood clots!
however, if we delve deeper and knowing that jaks work in pairs.
jak2 can pair with itself ie ****dimerisation and this is problematic.
tyk2 will pair with jak 2 heterodimerisation.
advantages being interleukin 17 and 22 or 23 (can't remember which) are inhibited leading to dual inhibition.
this l would suggest may be the reason as to why ropsacitinib is in the process of developing good safety profile with regards to serious adverse events in early clinical trial now at phase 2 l believe.
sdc1801 does inhibit small amount of jak2 and hence may benefit from let's say the slight off targets of jak2 and jak3 as at these dosaging levels will not prove detrimental to the safety of the compound.
the are other indications we may prove to have the ability to reach commercialising in.
sle being one
alzheimers may prove to be another but a tough cookie to crack and current treatment is the use of monoclonal antibodies to reduce plaque in the brain.
links to problems with high cholesterol and diabetes of which the latter is an immune system problem.
new strains of covid 19 emerging with an increase in hospital admissions. not serious yet but treatment for those who suffer worst would benefit from inhibitors that reduce the effects of the cytokine storm.
regards
ps 100% certain we will better deucravacitinib in psoriasis as dual inhibition which is proving to have greater efficacy.
