clinical trial

The Democratic Republic of Congo has launched a clinical trial of experimental Ebola treatments as the outbreak continues to spread in the north-east of the country.

A biotech company transformed a failed clinical trial into an AI model, as reported in STAT's Health Tech newsletter. The article discusses how this approach is being used in the life sciences technology sector.

Scientists have developed a drug, daraxonrasib, targeting the KRAS mutation in pancreatic cancer, which was previously considered undruggable. The drug nearly doubled survival rates for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and reduced the risk of death by 60% in a major clinical trial.

An experimental 'wonder pill' reduced tumors in one-third of patients with six challenging-to-treat cancers, according to an early-stage clinical trial. The results suggest potential therapeutic promise for these aggressive cancer types.

A daily pill called Daraxonrasib was found to double survival time for pancreatic cancer patients in a clinical trial, according to a study. The treatment shows significant improvement in outcomes for the deadliest form of cancer.

A daily pill called daraxonrasib can double survival time for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, according to a clinical trial hailed as a 'gamechanger' by experts. Pancreatic cancer is described as the world’s deadliest cancer with few effective treatments.

Researchers discovered that a simple walking technique involving a slight foot angle adjustment can effectively reduce knee osteoarthritis pain in a year-long clinical trial. This non-invasive method proved as effective as common medications while also slowing cartilage damage in the joint.

A daily multivitamin may help slow biological aging in older adults, with participants showing slower aging after two years. The effect was equivalent to about four months less biological aging. People who were biologically older than their actual age benefited the most.

The FDA announced it is expanding access to a pancreatic cancer drug that showed nearly doubled survival time for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in a large clinical trial. This decision aims to provide earlier access to the promising treatment.

A new minimally invasive procedure called duodenal mucosal resurfacing may help prevent weight regain after discontinuing Ozempic or Wegovy. Clinical trials showed participants who underwent the treatment regained less weight compared to others, as the procedure renews the upper small intestine lining and potentially resets metabolism.

A groundbreaking bowel cancer trial follow-up reported zero relapses among participants, indicating potential long-term success. The study suggests that the treatment may prevent cancer recurrence effectively.

An mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer has shown lasting results in an early clinical trial, offering potential new treatment options. The trial's success highlights the vaccine's ability to target the disease effectively.

A clinical trial found that metformin, a low-cost drug used for type 2 diabetes, may help type 1 diabetes patients reduce insulin usage by 12% while maintaining stable blood sugar levels. The drug's mechanism was unexpected, as researchers initially aimed to address insulin resistance.

A clinical trial is set to begin testing a method to reverse cellular ageing in humans, aiming to rejuvenate aged tissues and organs. The study, published in Nature, explores whether dialing back cell development can be safely applied to human tissues.

A new clinical trial shows that a five-day monthly fasting-mimicking diet can reduce symptoms and inflammation markers in Crohn’s disease patients.
