Lymphedema Understanding
Lymphedema: Overview
Lymphedema is the condition that may be caused in the body due to cancer and as a side effect of the cancer treatment. It occurs due to the buildup fluids in soft body tissues which lead to swelling in the organs, particularly limbs. Lymphedema can lead to psychological, physical, and social problems in patients. SymptomsSymptoms of lymphedema include loss of hair, troubled sleep, a burning sensation in legs, itching in toes and legs, a feeling of tightness when clothes, bracelets, shoes, etc. are worn, skin thickening without any changes in the skin, trouble moving arms or legs, heaviness in arms or legs, and swelling in arms or legs, which may include toes and fingers.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis may be based on past cancer history of the patient. Test such as Doppler ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, and radionuclide imaging of lymphatic system (lymphoscintigraphy) may be carried out.
Treatment
At present, there is no cure for lymphedema. The treatment is symptomatic and major focus is on controlling the pain and swelling. The treatment regimen may include massages, exercises, pneumatic compression, compression garments, and bandaging of the affected area.
Lymphedema Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Lymphedema report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, and phase I/II. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.Lymphedema Emerging Drugs
Lymfactin: Herantis PharmaLymfactin is a product which is being developed by Herantis Pharma. It is derived from the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C (VEGF-C), a natural human protein, which is crucial for the growth of new lymphatic vessels. Lymphfactin is a gene therapy product which works by the delivery of the human gene coding for VEGF-C, which in turn initiates the new lymphatic vessel formation. It is administered locally at the required site. It is currently available for licensing.
LYT-100:PureTechHealth
Pure Tech Health acquired LYT-100 in July 2019 from Auspex Pharmaceuticals. The drug candidate is in the phase I/II of drug development. The company believes that LYT-100 holds the potential to be evaluated for various inflammatory and fibrotic conditions besides being developed forlymphedema.
