- Driven by Increased Prioritization of IMO-2125 Clinical Development, Company Suspends Development of IMO-8400 for B-Cell Lymphomas – CAMBRIDGE, Mass & EXTON, Pa, Sept 27 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDRA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing Toll-like receptor and RNA therapeutics for patients with cancer and rare diseases, is reporting initial clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of intra-tumoral IMO-2125, a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 agonist. In this arm of the Phase 1 portion of the trial, IMO-2125 is being evaluated in combination with ipilimumab for treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma who have failed prior PD-1 therapy. These early results indicate that IMO-2125 is demonstrating promising clinical activity and is being well tolerated in a patient population with minimal options and low expectation of clinical response with ipilimumab treatment alone. Further clinical information from the ongoing dose escalation portion of the trial, as well as detailed information on the translational results, will be presented during an oral session at the 2016 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Annual Meeting beginning November 9th in Maryland. “We have completed extensive pre-clinical work in a broad scope of tumor types to test the hypothesis of intra-tumoral administration of IMO-2125 inducing a meaningful effect on the tumor microenvironment and potentiating local and systemic tumor regression in patients. This work gave us confidence to test the ability of IMO-2125, beginning with this current study in PD-1 refractory metastatic melanoma patients,” stated Vincent Milano, Idera’s Chief Executive Officer. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=27605 Low-height package products allow bufferless direct drive of low-to-medium-power IGBTs and MOSFETs from microcontrollers

Nuclein, now known as nucleic acid, was first found in cell nucleus by the Swiss biologist Friedrich Miescher in 1868. Later, in 1953, British biophysicist Francis Crick and American biochemist James Watson discovered the double helix model of DNA structure and pushed the nuclide research to a new stage, which ushered a new era of life science. It was ZHEN-AO that first introduced nucleic acid to civilian use in China. ZHEN-AO, established in 1996 and based in ZHEN-AO Bio Valley, is located in Dalian Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Zone with an area of 38,000 square meters and a total investment over 2.2 billion yuan. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=27559 NEW YORK, Sept 21 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Rohatyn Group (“TRG”), a leading emerging markets asset management firm, today announced that it has opened a new office in Seoul, Korea, the firm’s 15th office worldwide.
