Re: Today the EMA Approves Modification to Imetelstat PIP

IMpress Phase 2 is an investigator-led study being led by The European Myelodysplastic Neoplasms Cooperative Group (EMSCO) and Australasian Leukaemia & Lymphoma Group (ALLG). Does this mean the primary funding for this trial comes from EMSCO and ALLG? Of course, I would presume the Imetelstat is don...

Re: Today the EMA Approves Modification to Imetelstat PIP

@mck. I don't have any further details other than the link I provided in the 3rd post of this topic chain which opens the official EMA document which sanctions and approves the investigatory use of Imetelstat in children between the ages of 28 days and 18 years with MDS, JMML, and AML. I don't think...

Re: Today the EMA Approves Modification to Imetelstat PIP

Sorry Biopearl. I didn't mean to suggest these trials are starting on Nov 13 2023 though I can see how my clumsy wording could be interpreted in that way. I meant to say these trials were officially approved in the EU by the EMA as of Nov 13, 2023.

Re: Today the EMA Approves Modification to Imetelstat PIP

@ kmall - I don't know the exact changes made which is why I haven't said anything. I suspect the changes were to include the indications of MDS, JMML, and AML. I think previously approved conditions for Imetelstat investigations in EU children were brain cancer (which I believe was revoked at some ...

Re: Today the EMA Approves Modification to Imetelstat PIP

Excellent point biopearl. Pediatric AML is a soul crushing form of cancer that gets a massive amount of media attention. We've all seen the pictures of little kids with bald heads in the news and research donation solicitations. If I'm reading these very early signs right, I think imetelstat may sho...

Just today, Nov 13, 2023, the European Medicines Agency approved a modification to the Imetelstat Paediatric Investigation Plan to allow imetelstat to be administered to children between the ages of 28 days and 18 years with MDS, JMML, or AML. Why, and why now? This comes out just on the heels of th...
