Phase 1/2 Trial of Brogidirsen: Dual-Targeting Antisense Oligonucleotides for Exon 44 Skipping in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

New Advances in Dual-Targeting Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Phase 1⁄2 Clinical Trial of Brogidirsen Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal genetic disorder primarily affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles, leading to early loss of mobility and, eventually, organ failure. Currently, there is no ...

Coupling of Response Biomarkers Between Tumor and Peripheral Blood in Chemoimmunotherapy

Background Introduction This study focuses on malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and highly lethal cancer strongly associated with asbestos exposure. Most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, with a survival time of only 12 to 15 months, and traditional treatments revolve around platinum-based chemotherapy. However, treatment paradi...
