Novigenix Announces Discovery of Liquid Biopsy Immunotherapy Response Biomarkers in Metastatic Melanoma

New LITOseek biomarkers presented at ESMO have identified upregulation of ribosomal biogenesis and TCR signaling with downregulation of interferon gene clusters in responsive patients

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2022 / Novigenix SA, a leading Swiss biotech that develops and commercializes Immuno-Transcriptomic precision oncology solutions today announced discovery of new Immuno-Transcriptomic signatures for prediction of response to immunotherapy and patient monitoring in metastatic melanoma (MM). The data are presented at the Immuno-Oncology Congress of the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) on September 10th2022 in Paris.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become one of the main treatments for patients with metastatic cancer.

Louisiana set to expand medical marijuana business, allow for new pharmacies | Local Politics

Louisiana’s insular medical marijuana industry — which is seeing a flood of new customers and a spike in sales this year after smokable flower became legal — is set to expand further.
