  • In Virtual Trials, Two Alzheimer’s Drugs Do Poor Job Of Slowing Cognitive Decline

    Clinical Research News | Researchers from Duke, Penn State, and the University of Tennessee collaboratively built a mathematical model of Alzheimer’s disease that used real, de-identified patient data to simulate health outcomes from a pair of anti-amyloid-beta drugs. Notably, the virtual (aka in silico) clinical trials employed a computational approach that provides “individualized prescriptions” based on optimal timing and dosing of treatment while minimizing possible side effects.

  • Killing Cancer With Synthetic Lethality

    Clinical Research News | A key member of the team that discovered the BRCA2 breast cancer susceptibility gene in 1995 is now enamored of the idea of taking on cancer with synthetic lethal therapies, a nontraditional approach that exploits the weaknesses of cancer cells. The promise of the treatment concept was the topic of the Heath Memorial Award keynote address delivered at the recent Leading Edge of Cancer Research Symposium of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
