New data presented in long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders at INFORM 2026 support development of Company's third mitochondrial-targeted candidate Sept. 9, 2026 -- Mighty Therapeutics (the "Company" or "Mighty"), a commercial-stage biotechnology company pioneering development of a new class of medicines that directly target mitochondrial dysfunction in rare and age-related diseases, today announced the initiation of IND-enabling studies of MYTX-255, a novel investigational mitochondrial-tar

The POLARIS-1 study enrolled 147 patients with uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma, and the interim analysis was conducted on the first 98 patients. The analysis demonstrated a half-life of up to 75 days, with clinical effects consistent with twice-yearly dosing. WIN378 produced significant and sustained effects on FEV1 (up to 174 mL mean increase, placebo-adjusted mean increases up to +256 mL, p=0.033), FeNO and blood eosinophils, key biomarkers that correlate with asthma exacerbations. Th

With $116 million in new funding on tap, BrainChild Bio said Tuesday that it has initiated a pivotal study of the B7-H3-targeted autologous CAR-T cell therapy BCB-276, in the hopes of delivering a much-needed new treatment option for patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). With the current standard-of-care treatment for DIPG limited to palliative focal radiation therapy, median overall survival for this rare and aggressive paediatric brainstem tumour is about 11 months from diagn
