Received: 6 July 2020; Accepted: 7 August 2020; Published: 27 August 2020 Abstract: GM2 gangliosidoses are a group of pathologies characterized by GM2 ganglioside accumulation into the lysosome due to mutations on the genes encoding for the β-hexosaminidases subunits or the GM2 activator protein. Three GM2 gangliosidoses have been described: Tay–Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and the AB variant. Central nervous system dysfunction is the main characteristic of GM2 gangliosidoses patients that include neurodevelopment alterations, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Currently, there is not approved therapy for GM2 gangliosidoses, but different therapeutic strategies have been studied including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, enzyme replacement therapy, substrate reduction therapy, pharmacological chaperones, and gene therapy.

Despite intense treatment, children with this high-risk disease have a poor prognosis. Immunotherapy showed a significant improvement in event-free survival in high-risk NBL patients receiving chimeric anti-GD2 in combination with cytokines and isotretinoin after myeloablative consolidation therapy. However, response to immunotherapy varies widely, and often therapy is stopped due to severe toxicities. Objective markers that help to predict which patients will respond or develop toxicity to a certain treatment are lacking. Immunotherapy guided via immune monitoring protocols will help to identify responders as early as possible, to decipher the immune response at play, and to adjust or develop new treatment strategies. In this review, we summarize recent studies investigating frequency and phenotype of immune cells in NBL patients prior and during current treatment protocols and highlight how these findings are related to clinical outcome.

  • Rxoutlook® 4Th Quarter 2020
    ® RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 While COVID-19 vaccines draw most attention, multiple “firsts” are expected from the pipeline in 1Q:2021 Great attention is being given to pipeline drugs that are being rapidly developed for the treatment or prevention of SARS- CoV-19 (COVID-19) infection, particularly two vaccines that are likely to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the near future. Earlier this year, FDA issued a Guidance for Industry that indicated the FDA expected any vaccine for COVID-19 to have at least 50% efficacy in preventing COVID-19. In November, two manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna, released top-line results from interim analyses of their investigational COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer stated their vaccine, BNT162b2 had demonstrated > 90% efficacy. Several days later, Moderna stated their vaccine, mRNA-1273, had demonstrated 94% efficacy. Many unknowns still exist, such as the durability of response, vaccine performance in vulnerable sub-populations, safety, and tolerability in the short and long term. Considering the first U.S. case of COVID-19 was detected less than 12 months ago, the fact that two vaccines have far exceeded the FDA’s guidance and are poised to earn EUA clearance, is remarkable. If the final data indicates a positive risk vs. benefit profile and supports final FDA clearance, there may be lessons from this accelerated development timeline that could be applied to the larger drug development pipeline in the future. Meanwhile, drug development in other areas continues. In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 12 key pipeline drugs with potential to launch by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

By using immune adherence has been shown to recognize a membrane antigen (OFA-I-1) on inhibition as the assay, the antigen was successfully purified human tumors and fetal brain. This study identifies the chemical and characterized as the ganglioside GM2. nature of OFA-I-1. The glycolipid fraction of antigen-rich spent medium of an OFA-I-1-positive melanoma cell line, M14, was ex- tracted by chloroform/methanol/water, 4:8:3 (vol/vol), and was MATERIALS AND METHODS separated into fractions of neutral glycolipids and gangliosides by OFA-I-1 Antigen Source. A human melanomacell line, UCLA- DEAE-Sephadex followed by base treatment and Bio-sil A column SO-M14 (M14), which expresses OFA-I-1 and OFA-I-2 and sheds elution. OFA-I-1 antigens were found exclusively in the ganglio- both antigens into the culture medium, was maintained in a side fraction when assayed with monospecific anti-OFA-I-1 by an chemically defined medium supplemented with 0.05% human immune adherence inhibition test.

The encephalitis (CAR)–modified T cells can have potent antitumor activity in was localized to the cerebellum and basal regions of the brain B-cell malignancies, and trials to harness this cytolytic activity that display low amounts of GD2. Our results highlight the toward GD2 in neuroblastoma are under way. In an effort to challenges associated with target antigens that exhibit shared enhance the antitumor activity of CAR T cells that target GD2, we expression on critical normal tissues.
