The benefits of digitalisation for clinical trials have become evident during the pandemic, not least for patients. But there are obstacles to overcome, as Dr Rajesh Jain of PharmaLex explains.
Among the myriad transformations forced by COVID-19, decentralised clinical trials may have changed approaches to clinical research for good, bringing a patient-centric approach, reduced costs and faster results. None of this would be possible without digitalisation. While decentralised clinical trials (DCTs), or virtual trials, have been conducted for more than a decade, the pandemic was the catalyst for industry-wide uptake and many sponsors and clinical research organisations (CROs) have chosen to continue with – or adopt – the DCT model. DCTs do bring challenges:  investment is required in techn…

As drug delivery vehicles, liposomes have low toxicity and immunogenicity, and the high biocompatibility and biodegradability of their components—phospholipids can increase the in vivo drug concentrations and protect drugs from degradation.
Due to the amphiphilic nature of lipids in liposomes, they can serve as candidate vehicles for drug delivery, and liposomes have received more attention than other systems because of their remarkable ability to deliver drugs to their target sites. Advantages of Liposomes as Drug Delivery Vehicles As drug delivery vehicles, liposomes have low toxicity and immunogenicity, and the high biocompatibility and biodegradability of their components—phospholipids can increase the in vivodrug concentrations and protect drugs from degradation. They can be easily mo…

This year the NHS waiting list hit a record 6.4 million, the highest recorded total since records began in 2007, and has caused mounting cost pressures and a rapidly growing backlog. Patient portals are proving to be a valuable investment area for NHS organisations because of their ability to drive patient engagement, manage appointments and resolve concerns faster. Clare Rafferty, Head of Business Development and Partnerships Netcall, discusses how patient portals are a gateway to digital transformation and how it can bridge the gap between legacy and advanced technologies. 
Earlier this year the NHS’s waitlist hit a record 6.4 million, the highest recorded total since records began in 2007. The COVID-19 pandemic put unprecedented pressure on the NHS as it prioritised treating COVID patien…

As new drug development gravitates away from chemical synthesis towards new and costly biotech therapies and vaccines, the Quality function is becoming increasingly central to optimising manufacturing processes. Dr. Eduard Cayón of Rephine/ TDV outlines how Quality can add value for emerging and established biopharma companies.
The increasing change of focus in pharma, away from small chemical molecules towards biotech products and personalised therapies, is driving a change in the requirements of manufacturing sites, equipment and processes needed for this new environment. For young biotechs, scaling up production brings green-field challenges, while for more established pharma businesses a shift may be required to ensure that facilities are optimised for new ways of working. Across all of…

Facebook is the largest social media network, with around 3 billion active users as of 2022. Although it’s not as focused on career development as platforms like LinkedIn, with this huge audience comes a vast talent pool of passive as well as active talent. Although not the most obvious channel for social recruiting, there are key benefits of using Facebook to locate Pharma and Life Science talent.

Loneliness can occur when someone is feeling socially isolated, excluded, or misunderstood. Unfortunately, loneliness is a huge public health challenge and is something that many people experience daily, including NHS staff, healthcare workers, and their patients. Long-term loneliness can have a huge impact on physical and mental health, with some studies suggesting it can increase the likelihood of early death by as much as 26%.

Liposomes vary in size, composition and charge and can be used as carriers for a wide range of drug molecules.
Liposomes are a novel drug delivery system (DDS). They are bimolecular vesicles that form spontaneously when phospholipids are dispersed in water. Liposomes vary in size, composition and charge and can be used as carriers for a wide range of drug molecules, such as chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial and antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, genetic material, vaccines, therapeutic proteins, and anti-inflammatory agents. Liposomal formulations have unique advantages in both safety and efficacy, so they are one of the most rapidly developing formulations in recent years. In the past 30 years, research in the field of liposomes has made great progress. Various types…

Engineered bacteria can be used as anticancer agents, in which suitable bacterial strains are engineered to colonize hypoxic tumor environments and provide therapeutic payloads.
Engineered bacteria can be used as anticancer agents, in which suitable bacterial strains are engineered to colonize hypoxic tumor environments and provide therapeutic payloads. The hypoxic microenvironment changes tumor cell metabolism and leads to cell quiescence, which contributes to tumor cell resistance to therapy. Live bacteria can inherently colonize areas of hypoxic tumors. In tumor-bearing mice, the intravenously injected bacteria were initially delivered nonpreferentially to healthy and tumor tissues. Over time, the nontumor tissues and circulating bacteria were rapidly cleared, whereas the tumor bacteria…

Due to the wide range of oligonucleotide drug indications, including tumors, rare diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy), viral diseases, kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic diseases (diabetes) are expected to bring about the small molecular drugs, antibody drugs after a wave of new drug research and development.
Introduction of oligonucleotide drugs Oligonucleotides are a class of nucleic acid molecules consisting of dozens of nucleotides with short sequences. They mainly inhibit the expression of target proteins through gene silencing so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. The world's first antisense nucleic acid drug was approved in 1998, which started the journey of oligonucleo…

A variety of newly developed peptide-based drugs are expected to become a promising new class of anti-tumor therapeutic drugs. This blog will give a brief introduction to anti-tumor drugs based on peptide form.
Peptide-based drug design has attracted much interest with the rapid growth of bioinformatics knowledge related to peptides and proteins. In the past, peptide-based drugs were not widely used due to some limitations such as low selectivity and rapid degradation of peptides in biological systems. Excitingly, novel peptide-based therapies emerged in recent years, showing excellent anti-tumor efficacy. A variety of newly developed peptide-based drugs are expected to become a promising new class of anti-tumor therapeutic drugs. This blog will give…

CPPs are believed to matter a lot in the treatment of animal and human diseases as more interdisciplinary research goes deeper and its potential effectiveness and specificity continue to be explored.
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that facilitate cellular intake and uptake of molecules ranging from nano-size particles to small chemical compounds to large fragments of DNA. As a versatile peptide, CPP has been widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.   1. Oligo and siRNA Transport As an important means for targeted therapy of specific genes, oligonucleotides and siRNA can regulate protein activation and post-transcriptional gene expression. Besides, they’re also broadly utilized in the research of signal transmission systems, upstream and downstrea…
