Rhea-AI Summary

23andMe (Nasdaq: ME) announced positive nonclinical data for its first-in-class antibody 23ME-01473 at the ESMO Congress 2024. The antibody, targeting the NKG2D ligand ULBP6, showed inhibition of tumor growth in a non-small cell lung cancer mouse model. Elevated levels of ULBP6 were confirmed in squamous cell carcinomas and some adenocarcinomas, guiding potential clinical indications. The ongoing Phase 1/2a trial, which began in March 2024, has prioritized four expansion cohort cancer types: head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, squamous non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer. This data supports the potential of human genetics in identifying new targets for immuno-oncology drug development.

Rhea-AI Summary

23andMe (Nasdaq: ME) announced positive preliminary Phase 2 safety and efficacy data for 23ME-00610, a first-in-class anti-CD200R1 antibody, at the ESMO Congress 2024. Key findings include:

1. A confirmed partial response in a patient with refractory clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
2. Acceptable safety and tolerability profile.
3. Higher tumor expression of CD200 may be associated with clinical benefit.
4. Potential effectiveness in 'cold' tumors, suggesting opportunity for patients unable to benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors.

The study included 10 ccRCC patients and 13 patients with TMB-H or MSI-H cancers. The data suggests that interrupting the CD200/CD200R1 pathway has potential to reverse immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment.

Rhea-AI Summary

23andMe, in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute and Johns Hopkins University, conducted one of the largest and most diverse studies on sickle cell trait (SCT) and its association with venous thromboembolism (VTE). The study, published in Blood Advances, analyzed data from 4.2 million research-consented participants, including 19,000 with SCT.

Key findings include:

  • SCT is a modest risk factor for blood clots across diverse populations
  • Individuals with SCT have a lower risk of VTE compared to carriers of factor V Leiden
  • SCT is associated with pulmonary emboli (PE) but not deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • The study suggests a unique mechanism of blood clotting in people with SCT

This research provides valuable information for clinicians counseling individuals with SCT and highlights the importance of inclusive genetic research.
