PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”) for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) and other serious conditions with intractable neurologic symptoms. “The company’s lead programs are focused on ASD, for which there are currently no approved pharmacologic treatments that target its cause and symptoms. Currently used treatments only address the symptoms of the condition, rather than targeting the pathophysiology itself. PaxMedica is on a promising path to address these unmet medical needs, bringing hope to millions,” a recent article reads. “PaxMedica’s lead programs, PAX-101 and PAX-102, utilize the company’s proprietary source of suramin sodium, a broadly acting anti-purinergic therapy that has been known for over 100 years. Its current pipeline includes PAX-101 (IV Suramin) for ASD, PAX-102 (Intranasal Suramin), PAX-101 for human African trypanosomiasis (‘HAT’), and selective APTs.”

About PaxMedica Inc.

PaxMedica is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of anti-purinergic drug therapies (“APT”) for the treatment of disorders with intractable neurologic symptoms.

One of PaxMedica’s primary points of focus is the development and testing of its lead program, PAX-101, an intravenous formulation of suramin, in the treatment of ASD and the advancement of the clinical understanding of using that agent against other disorders such as ME/CFS and long COVID-19 syndrome, a clinical diagnosis in individuals who have been previously infected with COVID-19.

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing treatments for patients with cancer and diabetes, recently announced its entry into an exclusive license agreement related to a particular gene therapy for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. “Specifically, the announcement involves a worldwide exclusive license to a patent application and related technology, and a worldwide non-exclusive license to use certain related know-how using the genes of the Pdx1 and MafA transcription factors controlled by a MafB promoter, as developed by the University of Pittsburgh. Genprex is developing technologies to administer disease-fighting genes that will provide new therapies in the fight against cancer and diabetes for large patient populations. In regard to the company’s diabetes approach, the Pdx1 and MafA genes are delivered directly to the pancreas through a novel infusion process (gene therapy candidates ‘GPX-002’ and ‘GPX-003’),” a recent article reads. “We are continuing to build a fortress of protection and a powerful intellectual property portfolio for our diabetes gene therapy program,” Genprex chairman, president and CEO Rodney Varner is quoted as saying. “The addition of this license to MafB promoter technology expands and strengthens the potential for this novel gene therapy to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its systemic, non-viral ONCOPREX(R) Nanoparticle Delivery System, which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. The company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA(R) (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in three clinical trials as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”). Each of Genprex’s three lung cancer clinical programs has received a Fast Track Designation from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and its SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex’s diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vector to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-003 for type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.

BioMedNewsBreaks — Why Renovaro BioSciences Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB) Is ‘One to Watch’

September 15, 2023 12:27:41

Renovaro BioSciences (NASDAQ: RENB), (formerly Enochian BioSciences Inc.), is an advanced, pre-clinical biotechnology firm in cell, gene and immunotherapy. “Renovaro aims to unlock potentially long-term or life-long cancer remission in some of the deadliest cancers, as well as to potentially treat or cure serious infectious diseases… The oncology platform is now at the forefront of Renovaro’s development activities. While Renovaro’s current efforts focus primarily on pancreatic cancer, it plans to include other solid tumors with short life-expectancy in the first in human phase I/IIa studies that are on track to start by mid-2024,” reads a recent article. “Renovaro’s proprietary, novel technology uses cell- and gene-therapy to promote a renewed immune response against solid tumors. Important confirmatory results from two humanized mouse models using the company’s novel dendritic cell-based therapy, independently conducted by Dr. Anahid Jewett, a renowned cancer researcher in the field of immunotherapy at UCLA, were presented previously at two scientific conferences and were the foundation supporting a pre-IND submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Notably, Dr. Jewett’s findings from these studies consistently demonstrated 80% to 90% pancreatic tumor reduction in size and weight that was correlated with significant enhancement of key aspects of the immune response.”

September 14, 2023 11:59:46

Nemaura (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing non-invasive wearable diagnostic devices and supporting personalized lifestyle coaching programs, today provided an update regarding the status of its compliance with continued listed standards and anticipated next steps to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As previously announced, Nemaura was notified by letters dated April 3 and April 7, 2023, that the company no longer satisfied the minimum market value of listed securities and bid price requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and, accordingly, was granted 180-day grace periods to regain compliance with those requirements, through Oct. 2 and Oct. 3, 2023, respectively. The company currently does not expect to regain compliance with the referenced listing criteria prior to the expiration of the applicable grace periods and, as a result, anticipates receipt of a delisting determination from the Nasdaq staff promptly following the expiration of the grace periods. Importantly, however, upon receipt of such determination, the company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel to address the listing deficiencies, which request will stay any suspension or delisting action by Nasdaq at least until a hearing is held and any extension that may be granted by the panel to the company following the hearing has expired. The company plans to timely request such hearing and is considering all options available to regain compliance and maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. “We are hopeful that there will be a positive outcome from a hearing before the panel,” said Dr Faz Chowdhury, the company’s chief executive officer. “In the meantime, we continue to focus on our business, including a planned product launch in Saudi Arabia following the SFDA (Saudi Arabia Food and Drug Authority) approval, and the expected commercial deployment of our consumer health offering following encouraging results from our trials with the UK NHS (National Health Service).”

BioMedNewsBreaks – Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) Reports on Plaque Psoriasis Treatment Study

September 14, 2023 10:35:02

Scinai Immunotherapeutics(NASDAQ: SCNI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative inflammation and immunology (“I&I”) biological products primarily for the treatment of autoimmune and infectious diseases, is reporting encouraging results from its preclinical study of Scinai’s anti‑interleukin 17 (IL‑17) NanoAbs as a treatment for plaque psoriasis. According to the report, study results suggest that the NanoAbs, or nanosized VHH antibodies, have potential to relieve symptoms of plaque psoriasis. Currently, there is no safe, affordable biological drug available to treat mild psoriasis, which accounts for 50% of plaque psoriatic patients, has no safe and affordable biological drug available. Scinai’s NanoAbs are administered locally to the dermis and are designed to prevent systemic side effects. Exclusively licensed to Scinai, the NanoAb was discovered by Professor Dirk Görlich, director at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, and was tested for neutralization at the laboratory of Professor Matthias Dobbelstein at University Medical Center Göttingen. The two men are Scinai’s lead collaborators for development of a pipeline of NanoAb-based inflammation and immunology biological therapeutics for the treatment of autoimmune and infectious diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, asthma, wet AMD and COVID-19. “Results of this recent study suggest the potential for a highly efficacious, specific, yet safer and more convenient treatment for the large and underserved population of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis patients,” stated the company in the announcement. “Scinai recently started to evaluate the anti-IL-17 NanoAbs in a full human skin model induced for plaque psoriasis to evaluate the effective dose and schedule of treatment, with in-vivo animal studies anticipated in early 2024.”

Microdevices to Enable Simultaneous Multiple Studies on Potential Brain Cancer Treatments

September 14, 2023 08:05:00

Brigham and Women’s Hospital scientists have developed a microdevice to help researchers test the effectiveness of glioma treatments. Gliomas are a type of brain tumor that arise from glial cells in the spinal cord and brain before infiltrating surrounding brain cells.

Because the proximity of gliomas to healthy brain cells makes them hard to remove via surgery, glioma treatment often involves removing as much of the tumor via surgery before using chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill off as many of the remaining cancer cells as…

September 8, 2023

September 8, 2023 11:44:47

E-commerce companies have a greater chance of succeeding in an increasingly competitive and cutthroat market when they are clear on value proposition.

BioMedNewsBreaks — Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ: LGVN; LGVNR) Announces ELPIS 1 Trial Data Accepted for AHA Presentation, IBN Partnership

September 7, 2023 11:26:07

Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN; LGVNR), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for life-threatening and chronic aging-related conditions such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome (“HLHS”), Alzheimer’s disease and Aging-Related Frailty, will be participating at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. The company announced that an abstract outlining long-term survival data from its ELPIS 1 trial of Lomecel-B(TM) for patients with HLHS has been accepted for presentation as a poster at upcoming Scientific Sessions. The sessions are slated to be held Nov. 11–13, 2023, in Philadelphia. The poster is titled “Long-Term Transplant-Free Survival Is Improved in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome with Cell-Based Therapy.” The long-term survival data from the ELPIS 1 trial indicates that children in the trial had 100% survival up to five years of age after receiving Lomecel-B(TM) compared to 20% mortality rate observed from historical control data.

In addition, Longeveron announced that it is partnering with IBN, a multifaceted financial news and publishing company for private and public entities, to assist with its investor communications. According to the announcement, IBN will leverage its investor-based distribution network of 5,000+ key syndication outlets, numerous newsletters, social media channels, wire services via InvestorWire, blogs and other outreach tools to strengthen and increase industry awareness for Longeveron. Longeveron’s lead investigational product is Lomecel-B. Data has shown that the product may be effective in dealing with a decrease in immune system function that occurs as humans age as well as a decline in blood vessel functioning, chronic inflammation and other issues. “While there has been a remarkable rise in life expectancy over the last century due to medical and public health advancements, this increase in longevity has not been paralleled by the number of years a person is expected to live in relatively good health, free of chronic disease and disabilities of aging,” said IBN director of operations Chris Johnson in the press release. “We’re excited to customize our comprehensive suite of corporate communications solutions for Longeveron as it works to address this unmet medical need through its clinical pipeline, including the expected release of top-line results from its phase 2a CLEAR MIND trial of Lomecel-B for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in the coming weeks.”

BioMedNewsBreaks — Why RVL Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: RVLP) Is ‘One to Watch’

September 6, 2023 14:45:00

RVL Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RVLP) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on the commercialization of UPNEEQ(R) (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, available by prescription for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (low-lying eyelid(s)) in adults. “UPNEEQ(R) (‘RVL-1201’) is the first non-surgical treatment option approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) for acquired blepharoptosis. The company received FDA approval in July 2020 and launched UPNEEQ(R) in September 2020 to a limited number of eye care professionals, with commercial operations expanded in 2021 among ophthalmology, optometry and oculoplastic specialties,” a recent article reads. “In February 2022, UPNEEQ(R) was launched into the medical aesthetics market in the United States. Patients can purchase UPNEEQ(R) from eye care or medical aesthetic professionals, or through RVL Pharmacy LLC, the company’s wholly owned pharmacy. The company plans to promote UPNEEQ(R) to people with acquired ptosis and those who are bothered by low-lying eyelids. RVL Pharmaceuticals believes there is a significant commercial opportunity for UPNEEQ(R), given the meaningful unmet need for a non-invasive treatment across millions of acquired-ptosis patients in the United States. The company’s near-term focus is to continue the rollout of UPNEEQ(R) into the medical aesthetics market through its dedicated aesthetics sales force while continuing to support ongoing utilization and expanded penetration of UPNEEQ(R) in ocular medicine markets.”

Jaguar Health (NASDAQ: JAGX) was recently featured in a B2i release spotlighting the company’s focus on developing first-in-class, plant-based treatments for gastrointestinal (“GI”) disease.

“The most critical near-term catalysts are the expected availability in late Oct. 2023 of top-line results of Napo’s phase 3 clinical trial to expand crofelemer into the preventative treatment of chemotherapy-induced overactive bowel (‘CIOB’) in adults with cancer on targeted therapy, and the generation of proof-of-concept data by the end of 2023 and in 2024 to expand crofelemer into two rare disease indications: short bowel syndrome (‘SBS’) and microvillus inclusion disease (‘MVID’) with intestinal failure,” stated the B2i Digital release. “Jaguar Health offers several key strengths for investors to consider: Jaguar Health is developing multiple formulations of its key product, crofelemer, to treat different gastrointestinal diseases; canalevia-CA1 is the first and only product indicated for CID in dogs to receive any type of approval from the FDA; beyond its core focus, Jaguar Health has invested in an intriguing new venture targeting mental health disorders through natural plant-based prescription drugs.”

BioMedNewsBreaks — BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: BVXV) Positioned Favorably with Worldwide License to Anti-IL-17 NanoAbs

September 1, 2023

September 1, 2023 14:06:15

BiondVax (NASDAQ: BVXV), a biotechnology company that recently signed an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize innovative alpaca-derived nanosized antibodies (“NanoAbs”) targeting IL-17 cytokines as treatments for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, recently received coverage in analysis by Aegis Capital Corp. The report, which reiterated a buy recommendation and $70 target price for BVXV, contained analysis highlighting a deal valued at approximately $2.4 billion for Eli Lilly and Company’s (NYSE: LLY) acquisition of DICE Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: DICE), a biopharmaceutical company that develops oral therapeutic candidates – such as DC-806 and DC-853, both oral interleukin-17 (“IL-17”) inhibitors – currently in clinical development to treat chronic immune system diseases. “‘This deal between Eli Lilly and DICE Therapeutics illustrates the potential valuation that BiondVax could receive if it has positive early-stage clinical results.’ So far, several factors tip the scale in BiondVax’s favor,” a recent article, which contains excepts from the Aegis report, reads. “First, the company is focusing on a condition for which the mechanism of action of existing antibody-based treatments is well understood and has, in fact, been validated through clinical trials that have resulted in FDA approval. Secondly, a preclinical in vivo proof-of-concept study evaluating the company’s anti-COVID-19 NanoAb therapy virtually eliminated the virus from the lungs, caused milder and shorter illness, and had prophylactic properties. While the study evaluated an anti-COVID-19 drug, it showed, at least early on, the capabilities of NanoAbs. Furthermore, should BiondVax eventually receive FDA approval for its anti-IL-17 NanoAbs, precedent exists showing that the company and its shareholders stand to gain significantly from the potential market demand.”

BioMedNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Secures Patent Protection in ‘Some of the Most Important Markets in the World’

September 1, 2023

September 1, 2023 11:18:56

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, recently received a patent from the China National Intellectual Property Administration. “The granted patent broadly covers the use of the company’s drug candidate REQORSA(R) immunogene therapy in combination with PD-1 antibodies, such as Keytruda(R), to treat cancers. The REQORSA gene therapy in combination with Keytruda is the subject of the company’s ongoing Acclaim-2 clinical trial for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (‘NSCLC’). In this trial, the company is enrolling and treating patients with advanced, metastatic NSCLC whose disease progressed after treatment with Keytruda. The first patient was dosed in this study in April of last year,” a recent article reads. “Now with the latest patent grant in China, we have secured exclusivity for the use of this drug combination for the treatment of cancer in some of the most important markets in the world. The company already has received patent protection in the U.S., Australia, Mexico, Japan and Russia. This patent protection prevents others from using this drug combination to treat cancer in these jurisdictions,” Thomas Gallagher, Esq., SVP of Intellectual Property and Licensing at Genprex, is quoted as saying.

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its proprietary, non-viral ONCOPREX(R) Nanoparticle Delivery System, which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. The company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA(R) (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in three clinical trials as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”). Each of Genprex’s three lung cancer clinical programs have received a Fast Track Designation from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and its SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex’s diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vector to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-003 for type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.

Autoimmune diseases are often chronic and require patients to take drugs for life, with annual sales for current anti-interleukin-17 monoclonal antibodies totaling about $7.5 billion. With their NanoAbs, BiondVax aims to generate a highly potent, highly specific drug that is safe to use for the large and underserved population of mild-to-moderate psoriasis patients. BiondVax expects to complete a proof-of-concept trial later this year, followed by human clinical trials,” a recent article reads. “BiondVax CEO Amir Reichman explained that there are currently several treatment options on the market for psoriasis patients, such as, for example, creams and other topical drugs, biologics, and oral drugs for plaque psoriasis patients. However, the topicals are not highly sophisticated drugs, and they come with considerable side effects… As for biologics, they are highly potent, but they are restricted to moderate and severe cases of psoriasis, which accounts for only 15% of patients with psoriasis.”

BioMedNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Appoints Regulatory Expert as It Drives Important Clinical Programs Forward

August 22, 2023

August 22, 2023 12:27:09

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing treatments for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced its appointment of Suzanne Thornton-Jones, Ph.D. as senior vice president, regulatory affairs. Dr. Thornton-Jones will leverage her expertise to guide Genprex’s regulatory submissions and strategy for its pipeline of gene therapy drug candidates. “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Thornton-Jones to the Genprex team as her strategic regulatory and drug development expertise, including with novel gene therapy products, will be invaluable as we advance our innovative gene therapies to treat cancer and diabetes,” said Rodney Varner, chairman, president and CEO at Genprex. “We look forward to benefitting from Dr. Thornton-Jones’ deep domain experience at this important point in Genprex’s growth, particularly as we advance and expand our clinical development programs in oncology with our REQORSA(R) Immunogene Therapy drug candidate and progress the development of our diabetes gene therapy program toward first-in-human studies. We look forward to Dr. Thornton-Jones’ guidance as we drive these important clinical programs forward.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its proprietary, non-viral ONCOPREX(R) Nanoparticle Delivery System, which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that were deficient in the tumor. The company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA(R) (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in three clinical trials as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”). Each of Genprex’s three lung cancer clinical programs have received a Fast Track Designation from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and its SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex’s diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vector to deliver Pdx1 and MafA genes directly to the pancreas. In models of type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-003 for type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.

BioMedNewsBreaks – Renovaro BioSciences Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB) CEO Discusses Substantial Scientific, Product Development Advances in Letter to Shareholders

August 18, 2023

August 18, 2023 10:12:20

Renovaro BioSciences (NASDAQ: RENB), (formerly NASDAQ: ENOB), earlier this year issued a letter to shareholders from its CEO Mark Dybul, MD, in which Dr. Dybul discussed scientific and product development advances and plans for the future. The advances included independently conducted studies that showed remarkably promising results, demonstrating and confirming proof-of-concept for the company’s cell-gene-immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer and, potentially, other solid tumors, as well as the accelerated timeline for submission of the company’s Pre-Investigational New Drug (“Pre-IND”) application to the U.S. FDA. “Despite significant challenges that would have derailed many companies, our strategic plan to focus on our most promising platform has allowed us to significantly de-risk our cancer immune oncology program and be in a strong position now. We have made substantial scientific and product development advances over the past 10 months. This was accomplished while substantially reducing operating costs – including, at my request, a decrease in my compensation as CEO – towards maximizing shareholder value,” Dr. Dybul wrote in the letter. “The progress with a platform that has key attributes that could potentially be leveraged for products to treat solid tumors, HIV and, perhaps, other infectious diseases is particularly encouraging.”

BiondVax NanoAbs provide superior benefits not seen in mAb therapies, including new routes of administration, higher affinity, better binding, and a higher level of stability at room temperature
Apogee recently went public at $500 million pre-money, raising $300 million in an upsized deal, and has a $1 billion market cap – should be an eye-opener to BiondVax investors who recognize benefits of NanoAbs over mAb development
The global psoriasis treatment market was valued at $26.13 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $57.84 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 9.23%

Modern-day medicine has been revolutionized and personalized to cater to more specific disease characteristics. A prime example of this innovation is monoclonal antibodies (“mAbs”) and nanosized antibodies (NanoAbs), therapeutic options that address diseases in ways other therapies cannot. Several companies are penetrating the market and a compelling comparison can be made between two – one supporting mAbs and the other NanoAbs. Both companies share similar objectives and stages of development.

August 17, 2023

August 17, 2023 12:45:59

Uppsala University researchers have created a novel method for detecting brain-cancer mutations in children, granting scientists an unprecedented glimpse into the inner workings of pediatric brain tumors. The novel technique allowed the researchers to determine that the mutations they saw changed how tumor cells interact with cancer drugs, potentially opening the door for the development of better means of diagnosing pediatric brain cancer and building personalized treatment plans.

BioMedNewsBreaks – Renovaro BioSciences Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB) Announces Presentation of ‘Impressive’ Results from Proof-of-Concept Studies

August 17, 2023

August 17, 2023 12:36:50

Renovaro BioSciences (NASDAQ: RENB), (formerly NASDAQ: ENOB), in March of 2023 announced that Dr. Anahid Jewett, a renowned cancer researcher in the field of immunotherapy for cancer, presented proof-of-concept data from two sets of humanized mouse studies conducted independently by her laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles (“UCLA”). According to the announcement, the experiments demonstrated highly significant reductions in the weight and volume of pancreatic tumors following therapy with the company’s proprietary technology combining cell-, gene- and immunotherapy. The results correlated with strong immune responses, indicating proof-of-concept of the way the technology was intended to act. “I have been working in this field for three decades and designed the mouse model that we have used in my laboratory to study the company’s potential cancer therapies. The results are some of the most impressive I have ever seen. The fact that we saw very similar highly statistically significant results across two independently conducted studies is particularly encouraging, indicating reproducibility of the findings. I look forward to continuing our work together towards clinical trials, and potentially offering hope to many who are suffering with diseases with few good treatment options,” Dr. Jewett said.

BioMedNewsBreaks – RVL Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: RVLP) Spotlighted in New Cantor Fitzgerald Research Brief

August 17, 2023

August 17, 2023 12:25:39

RVL Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RVLP), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization of UPNEEQ(R) (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) (“UPNEEQ”), 0.1%, for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis, or low-lying eyelid, in adults, is featured in a recent Cantor Fitzgerald research brief. Noting that the stock “looks even more interesting post solid quarter and ahead of potential strategic acquisition,” the research brief reiterated its previous Overweight (“OW”) rating and 12-month price target of $6 for RVL Pharmaceutical shares, stating that RVLP’s commercial opportunities continue to be underappreciated and that upward earnings estimate revisions should drive the stock higher. The brief noted that RVLP’s prescription eye drop, UPNEEQ 0.1%, had been selected the winner in the professional treatment category as “Best Eye Drop for Drooping Lids” in the NewBeauty annual beauty awards, and that the company is in discussions with strategic targets that could accelerate UPNEEQ sales, broaden RVLP’s portfolio and leverage the field force investment.

“RVLP said it is in advanced discussions with certain companies that it could potentially partner with or acquire to support growth and integrate into its infrastructure with meaningful synergies,” stated the Cantor Fitzgerald report. “RVLP [also] reported second quarter 2023 UPNEEQ net product sales of $8.3 million and operating expenses of $14.4 million, down 2% and 32%, year over year, respectively. RVLP highlighted its lower baseline of operating expenses. It streamlined its operating expenses to extend its cash runway, optimize its marketing mix and support strategic business development. This streamlining had a modest unfavorable impact on sales during the quarter. And at 6/30/23, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million and senior secured indebtedness with aggregate principal maturities of $70.7 million.”

BioMedNewsBreaks – BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: BVXV) Releases Q2 Financial Report, Corporate Update

August 16, 2023 11:07:42

BiondVax Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BVXV), a biotechnology company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative immunotherapeutic products primarily for the treatment of infectious and autoimmune diseases, is featured in a recent Aegis Capital Corp. research report. Aegis titled the report “Good Things Coming” and gave BVXV a Buy rating. The research report noted that BiondVax has signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement to develop and commercialize VHH antibodies, called NanoAbs, targeting Interleukin-17 (“IL-17”), specifically for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The agreement is with the Max Planck Society and the University Medical Center Gottingen (“UMG”) and is part of an ongoing collaboration BVXV has going with those two entities. According to the report, Max Planck and UMC Gottingen have already generated 11 potential therapeutic candidates. The report noted that the next step for BiondVax is to identify the best two or three of the potential candidates and begin preclinical in vivo proof-of-concept testing and toxicology studies; this would be in preparation for phase 1/2a clinical testing.

“We believe that BiondVax and its collaborators can move quickly, completing the in vivo studies by IH2024 and potentially starting phase 1/2a in 2H2024,” the report stated. “We see the plaque psoriasis market as an excellent opportunity for BiondVax. It’s target, IL-17, is already proven to be effective on even the most severe cases of plaque psoriasis. The NanoAb technology could enable BiondVax to develop an IL-17therapy that is deliverable in a localized manner to psoriatic plaques with the subsequent potential to significantly improve the toxicity profile over systemic IL-17, as well as to provide a novel way to expand the IL-17 market from only severe patients (about 10%–20% of the patient population) to mild and moderate patients (about 80% of the market). If the phase 1 data is positive, which we see as likely, significant interest from big pharma competitors already in the psoriasis market could be expected. . . . We are excited by the direction that BiondVax is taking its unique nanoantibody platform technology. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and $70 price target.”
