Introduction
Clinical innovation continues to break new ground across therapeutic domains, with exciting updates in psychedelic-assisted medicine, next-generation vaccines, and gene and cell therapies. The recent selection of a bioanalytical partner for a novel psychedelic program, breakthrough data on an oral norovirus vaccine, and emerging gene therapy platforms illustrate how diverse clinical strategies are converging to improve patient outcomes and expand global access to care.
Silo Pharma Advances Psychedelic Study with Bioanalytical Partner
Silo Pharma has selected Veloxity Labs to conduct bioanalytical testing for its experimental psychedelic compound, SP-26, a therapeutic candidate targeting fibromyalgia. SP-26 is a novel, subcutaneous formulation of ketamine designed to provide long-lasting pain relief with minimal side effects.
The partnership with Veloxity Labs will allow for:
- Rigorous pharmacokinetic profiling of SP-26.
- Standardization of bioanalysis for submission to regulatory authorities.
- Enhanced data quality to support future clinical phases.
This collaboration represents a critical step forward in validating psychedelic medicine for chronic pain conditions that lack adequate treatment options. Silo Pharma selects Veloxity Labs for bioanalytical study
Vaxart’s Oral Norovirus Vaccine Gains Momentum
Vaxart has published promising clinical trial data on its oral norovirus vaccine in Science Translational Medicine. Norovirus is a leading cause of gastrointestinal illness globally, with no approved vaccines currently available. Vaxart’s tablet-based vaccine aims to simplify administration and improve immunogenicity.
Study findings highlight:
- Robust mucosal and systemic immune responses in human volunteers.
- Durable protection against multiple norovirus strains.
- Strong safety profile and patient adherence advantages over injectable vaccines.
With the potential to be administered without needles, this vaccine could have major public health implications, especially in outbreak settings and resource-limited areas. Vaxart oral norovirus vaccine data in Science Translational Medicine
