OMO-103 in Phase 1b clinical trial
BARCELONA, SPAIN / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2023 / Peptomyc S.L., a biotech company specialized in the development of protein therapeutics for cancer treatment, announces that it has received full study approval for its new Phase 1b clinical trial, which will evaluate the combination of the first-in-class MYC inhibitor, OMO103, together with the standard of care (SoC) regimen Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel in metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients in first line. PDAC is the most common form of pancreatic cancer. Currently, it is the fourth highest cause of cancer mortality worldwide and its incidence is rising steeply. Current therapies offer limited chance of a lasting cure and the five-year survival rate is one of the lowest among the most commonly occurring cancers.

MYC is an oncoprotein deregulated in most -if not all- types of cancers. It is activated in many PDAC cases, where it contributes to aggressiveness of the disease and resistance to treatments. The company recently completed a FIH Phase 1 study of OMO103 in all-comers solid tumor patients, demonstrating excellent safety and promising anti-tumor activity.
Manuela Niewel, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of the company, leading Peptomyc's clinical development, regulatory and medical affairs activities, says: "I am excited to be able to start our new Phase 1b study in PDAC patients. With OMO-103, we hope to address this devastating disease and one of the highest unmet medical needs in the oncology field".
This Phase 1b combination study will be conducted in four sites in Spain. The lead PI will be Dr. Teresa Macarulla at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona, and she will collaborate with Dr. Andres Muñoz at the Hospital Gregorio Marañon in Madrid, Dr. Mariona Calvo at the ICO-Hospitalet in Barcelona, and Dr. Roberto Pazo at the Hospital Miguel Servet in Zaragoza. The study is planned to start in Q3/2023.

Survey of 4,000+ U.S. and Australian families finds children report doing more online - from social media to generative AI - than their parents realize. WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2026 / The Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) today released Beyond Borders: U.S. and Australian Families on Online Safety, Screen Use, and the Digital Lives of Kids, the fourth wave of its bi-annual Online Safety Survey.

Fielded in spring 2026 by Ipsos with more than 4,000 parents and children ages 10-17 across the United States and Australia, the research reveals a consistent and significant gap: children report doing more onlin

Frame Security Launches KnowBetter as AI Reshapes Social Engineering8.7.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
AI Is Rewriting the Social Engineering Playbook. Security Awareness Training Hasn't Caught Up. Organizations must KnowBetter. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2026 / Security teams have spent two decades training employees to spot a familiar set of red flags: a suspicious link, a misspelled domain, an urgent request for a wire transfer. That approach is now colliding with an attacker toolkit that has changed faster than most awareness programs have. Generative AI has made it possible to clone a voice from a few seconds of audio, generate a passable deepfake video in minutes, and write a phishing email tailored to a specific employee's role, manager, and recent LinkedIn activity. Vishing calls, smishing texts, and video-based impersonation are now standard components of enterprise social engineering campaigns, not edge cases. "Most organizations are still training people to recognize threats from five years ago," said Tal Shlomo, co-founder and CEO of Frame Security, a huma
