What is the Current State of Stem Cell Derived Exosomes?
Prior to 2007, exosomes were largely considered to be tiny “trash sacs” thrown out of living cells. Around 2007, it as discovered that exosomes carry RNAs and miRNAs, along with other molecules to regulate the expression of genes between cells. This discovery paved the way for the scientists to search for improved techniques for the exploitation of exosomes in treating diseases. [Read more…]
Brexogen’s Exosome Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis, ‘BRE-AD01’ Accepted for Phase 1 Clinical Trials by US FDA
First entry to clinical trial of exosome for atopic dermatitis and the first exosome-based therapeutics in US clinical trial among Korean companies
SEOUL, South Korea I November 2, 2022 – The US FDA granted the initiation of the phase 1 clinical trial of ‘BRE-AD01’, an exosome- based therapy for atopic dermatitis. ‘BRE-AD01’ is being developed by Brexogen with its own exosome-platform technology. It is the first phase 1 clinical trial of therapeutic exosome for atopic dermatitis in major countries. This IND clearance is very meaningful in that patients with atopic dermatitis can benefit from receiving better treatment with ‘BRE-AD01’, which is armed with multiple mode of action. [Read more…]
Approved Exosome Diagnostics: ExoDx Prostate IntelliScore & Guardant360 CDx
While solid biopsies have several limitations, including but not limited to their invasive nature, liquid biopsies can offer a promising alternative. Today, a growing number of companies are developing exosome diagnostics for the non-invasive detection and prognosis of cancer and other serious medical conditions. This approach is effective because exosomes are present in almost all body fluids and critical valuable information about the cells from which they were released. [Read more…]
