BioMedNewsBreaks – Lineage Cell Therapeutics Inc. (NYSE American: LCTX) (TASE: LCTX), Leading Cancer Charity Announce Encouraging Preliminary Phase 1 Study Results

October 13, 2020 11:40:42

Lineage Cell Therapeutics (NYSE American: LCTX) (TASE: LCTX) and Cancer Research UK have released encouraging results from an ongoing Phase 1 clinical study of VAC2 in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). LCTX, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel cell therapies for unmet medical needs, and Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, worked together on the study, which focused on VAC2. Highlights of the study include potent induction of immune responses observed with the VAC2 vaccine and peripheral antigen-specific immunogenicity above 3% observed at multiple timepoints. In addition, VAC2 appeared to be well tolerated with no unexpected adverse events. The drug has demonstrated remarkably potent induction of immune responses in all patients dosed to date, with high levels of peripheral antigen-specific immunogenicity observed at multiple time points and confirmed by multimer staining. Based on these results, Lineage intends to seek to further study VAC2 in combination with therapies considered biologically complementary to VAC2, such as chemotherapy and the immune cell protectant properties offered by anti-PD1 immunotherapy. “Interestingly, one patient experienced a radiological response following chemotherapy subsequent to VAC2 treatment,” said Lineage CEO Brian Culley in the press release. “Although anecdotal and occurring after the patient had completed the VAC2 trial, responses in this setting are rare and support further investigation. Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen-presenting cells in the body and harnessing their power to accurately deliver information about foreign material is re-emerging as an attractive therapeutic modality based on their consistent safety profile and increasing knowledge of how to deploy them in the clinical setting. As a leader in the field of cell therapy, Lineage aims to advance the current VAC2 product candidate and identify ways to expand the VAC platform through internally owned and externally partnered antigens.”

Social Media Could Trigger Secondary Trauma, Depression During Pandemic

October 12, 2020 12:36:48

Social media was a game-changer when it first came onto the scene. Sites like Facebook and Twitter allowed people to share and connect like they never had, and for a while, no one noticed just how harmful social media could potentially be. But a few years into the social media craze we now know that while it has its benefits, social media can have quite a negative effect on mental health, resulting in anything from depression and anxiety to cyber-bullying and feelings of inadequacy.

According to researchers at Penn State and Jinan University, social media has also caused adverse effects in some individuals during the pandemic. The researchers say that excessive use of social media for updates on the coronavirus pandemic could trigger secondary…

Mental Health Misconceptions You Shouldn’t Fall For

October 12, 2020 11:18:52

Today, it’s widely accepted that mental health has a great bearing on quality of life and that individuals with mental health conditions are as deserving of compassion as anyone else. But even with all the information we have at our disposal, plenty of myths about mental health persist. These myths increase the stigma around mental health and prevent people who need medical help from getting the help they need. So as World Mental Health Day approaches, here are 6 mental health myths you shouldn’t fall for;

Mental health problems are uncommon. You would be surprised to learn just how prevalent mental health problems are. Back in 2001, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) estimated that “1 in 4 people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives,” and that was before the Great Recession of 2008 and the coronavirus pandemic. At the moment, 460 million people in the world are living with mental health conditions, with WHO classifying mental…

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Highlights New Glioblastoma-Focused Segment Airing on Lifetime TV

October 12, 2020 08:52:33

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, today highlighted a new segment from The Balancing Act titled, “Behind the Mystery,” which will air on Lifetime TV and focus on glioblastoma. The segment, live this morning, follows the unique story of a glioblastoma patient and clinical insights regarding the rare and difficult-to-treat disease from Dr. Sigmund Hsu, a member of CNS Pharmaceuticals’ Scientific Advisory Board. In addition, a re-airing of the segment is planned for October 23, 2020. “It is encouraging to see The Balancing Act bring awareness to such a devastating disease. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive primary brain cancers in adults, with approximately 13,000 new patients diagnosed each year in the U.S.—the highest diagnosis rate of all malignant brain tumors,” CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO John Climaco said in the news release. “At CNS, we are committed to our development efforts in glioblastoma.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006.  In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

Research Identifies Two Types of Parkinson’s Disease

October 9, 2020 13:42:16

For long, doctors and researchers have been baffled by the myriad of different symptoms that people with Parkinson’s disease exhibit. According to new research that has just been published in a neurological journal called Brain, it now turns out that Parkinson’s is not just a single disease. Rather, the condition has two variants which should be managed differently.

This eye-opening research was done by a team from Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University in Denmark. Professor Per Borghammer and Jacob Horsager, M.D. are the researchers…

BioMedNewsBreaks – Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: PCSA) Featured in Simply Wall St Article

October 9, 2020 11:18:38

Processa Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PCSA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of drug products for patients with high unmet medical need conditions or no alternative treatment options, was featured in a Simply Wall St article. The piece highlights PCSA Co-Founder Patrick Lin’s recent stock purchase at near current price. The article reads, “Potential Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: PCSA) shareholders may wish to note that the Co-Founder, Patrick Lin, recently bought US$125k worth of stock, paying US$4.00 for each share. While that’s a very decent purchase to our minds, it was proportionally a bit modest, boosting their holding by just 8.5%. In fact, the recent purchase by Patrick Lin was the biggest purchase of Processa Pharmaceuticals shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of US$4.08. . . . While we always like to see insider buying, it’s less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. Happily, the Processa Pharmaceuticals insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.”

Early Morning Coffee Could Impair Metabolism, New Research Suggests

October 9, 2020 10:24:49

October 1st was International Coffee Day, and it is estimated that half of all U.S. adults consume coffee on a daily basis. You might therefore be no stranger to taking a strong cup of coffee each time you wake up feeling groggy. But, did you know that the early morning cup of strong coffee you take could be compromising your metabolism and making it harder for your blood glucose level to be regulated? New research done at the University of Bath (UK) strongly suggests that this is the case.

The research team headed by Harry Smith performed overnight experiments on 29 men and women. In one of the experiments, the study participants were asked to sleep…

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Begins Manufacturing of Lead Drug Candidate in Europe

October 9, 2020 10:12:22

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, today announced that its European manufacturer, BSP Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. (“BSP”), has begun the manufacturing process for Berubicin Drug Product, its lead drug candidate for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”). GBM is an aggressive form of brain cancer currently considered incurable. “Our preparations for filing an IND for Berubicin require continued execution in both our clinical and manufacturing initiatives,” CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO John Climaco said in the news release. “With the manufacturing of our Berubicin Drug Product in Europe, we continue to advance closer toward an IND filing for Berubicin, which we expect to submit later this quarter. We have also made significant progress on the clinical front and recently engaged Worldwide Clinical Trials as the contract research organization, Image Analysis Group (‘IAG’) as the imaging partner, and Berry Consultants as a biostatistical advisor for our Phase 2 trial design. We have also added Dr. Patrick Wen, a renowned neuro-oncologist, to our Scientific Advisory Board. Our laser focus remains on initiating a U.S. Phase 2 trial for Berubicin in Q1 of 2021 and we continue to demonstrate our ability to execute our operational and clinical plans toward that goal.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006.  In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

Analysis Uncovers a Link Between Obesity & Food Insecurity

October 9, 2020 08:12:42

Over the years, obesity has become a pressing issue in the U.S., with nearly 30% of Americans afflicted by the condition. Although the assumption is that extreme weight gain is usually caused by binge eating, a variety of factors are usually at play. One such factor is food insecurity, which is defined as the lack of access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Internationally, food insecurity is usually caused by the frequency of conflict as well as the climate-related failure of harvests but in the U.S., it is most often due to limited financial resources.

According to a recent analysis of trends in food security, the association between food insecurity and obesity has doubled since 1999-2000. The analysis was based on data collected through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (“NHANES”) from over 46,000 adults in the U.S. The Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA analyzed data collected from 1999 to 2016, with researchers…

BioMedNewsBreaks – VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN) Featured in Research Report

October 8, 2020 14:24:36

VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, was featured in a recent research report by Aegis Capital Corp. The report reads, “VistaGen is developing multiple therapeutic candidates for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other CNS indications. VistaGen’s development pipeline includes PH94B, a neuroactive nasal spray targeting Social Anxiety Disorder (‘SAD’), among other conditions, PH10, an additional neuroactive nasal spray for indications including Major Depressive Disorder (‘MDD’), and AV-101 an oral drug for psychiatric and other CNS disorders. We believe Phase 2 data in PH94B and PH10 strongly supports proof of concept, including compelling safety and efficacy data that likely differentiate these assets from existing treatments in crucial ways that could be supportive of market adoption if and when approved.”

Heading Soccer Balls Causes More Damage to Females than Males

October 7, 2020 12:47:38

Today, it is common to see members of a female soccer team training close to the ground that is being used by their male counterparts, and this is pleasing given how far society has come before accepting that females can participate in contact sports. However, lots of sports scientists noticed that females were complaining more about the effects of heading the ball when compared to their male counterparts. It now turns out that there is a scientific reason for that as explored below.

According to a study that was led by Dr. Michael Lipton, a neuroscientist based at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, women suffer five times the amount of brain damage as males who head the ball during soccer games. The study also found that women take longer to recover from the resultant…

About Genprex Inc. 

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new treatment options for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The company’s lead product candidate, GPX-001 (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). GPX-001 has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. GPX-001 has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for GPX-001 for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R)) for patients with “EFGR” mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone.

BioMedNewsBreaks – Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) Shareholder Letter Provides Company Update, Status of Subsidiaries

October 6, 2020 11:54:39

Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, has released a shareholder letter providing a review of where POAI “stands as of today.” The letter noted that, despite a decline of stock price over the past few weeks, the company’s cash burn is stable and even trending down, and revenues are stable and trending upward. The letter notes that POAI has adequate cash for operation, as well as ability to utilize an equity line of credit of more than $10 million. The letter also provides an update on the company’s divisions: Skyline Medical, Helomics, TumorGenesis and Soluble Biotech. The letter notes that Skyline Medical is self-supporting from a cash standpoint. Helomics has launched a restructured clinical test offering to clinicians for ovarian cancer. TumorGenesis will be introducing its Ovarian Cell Line Media at the upcoming BIO-Europe Conference; the media allows researchers to isolate and successfully culture ovarian cancer cells that have previously not been cultured. Soluble Biotech has moved into a new facility that effectively quadruples its office and research space. “As you can see, a lot is happening,” said Predictive Oncology CEO Carl Schwartz in the letter. “Much is occurring under the radar. Much doesn’t make for a press release. However, don’t be discouraged by the lack of ‘blockbuster’ announcements. We are moving forward rapidly, and we expect the fourth quarter to be eventful.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new treatment options for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The company’s lead product candidate, “GPX-001” (“quaratusugene ozeplasmid”), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). GPX-001 has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. GPX-001 has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for GPX-001 for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s “Tagrisso(R)”) for patients with “EFGR” mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone.

Some Cerebral Palsy Cases Could Be Due to a Patient’s Genes, Research Finds

October 5, 2020 08:45:48

In an article that was published in Nature Genetics, scientists have confirmed that almost 14% of all cerebral palsy cases may be connected to an individual’s genes and indicate that those genes control how brain circuits are wired in early development. Cerebral palsy is a brain disorder that affects an individual’s ability to move and maintain posture and balance. It’s a motor disability that is common in childhood.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders was the main funder behind this research. The scientists’ findings were based on the biggest genetic study of cerebral palsy that has ever been conducted. Additionally, the conclusion also shed light on the importance of understanding…

Engineers Link Computers to Brains Using 3D Implants

October 1, 2020 14:14:14

Up until now, we have only seen scientists linking the brain to a monitor in sci-fi movies where the evil scientist wants to manipulate the subject’s brain or fry it to pudding. This is now a near-reality after a team of neuroscientists and engineers from the St. Petersburg State University in Russia, Technische Universität Dresden in Germany and University of Sheffield in the UK used the power of 3D printing to improve neural implant technology. The study has been published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

The team was led by Professor Pavel Musienko from St. Petersburg and Professor Ivan Minev, from the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Sheffield. The two developed a neural implant prototype that can be utilized in the development…

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Achieves Critical Milestone for Production of Lead Drug Candidate

October 1, 2020 09:42:25

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, today announced that its GMP manufacturer partner NCK A/S, received a Certificate of Analysis (“CoA”) for its Active Pharma Ingredient (“API”), clearing it for use in the production of Berubicin. CNS Pharmaceuticals previously announced entry into a contract with NCK A/S, a GMP manufacturer of complex drugs and the previous producer of Berubicin for Reata Pharmaceuticals, for the large-scale production of Berubicin, CNSP’s lead drug candidate for the treatment of glioma brain tumors. “We believe the execution of this critical manufacturing milestone positions the company advantageously ahead of our expected U.S. Phase 2 trial,” said John Climaco, CEO of CNS Pharmaceuticals, in the news release. “Our partnerships have proven instrumental in further progressing the manufacturing process necessary to continue the clinical development of our lead candidate. We look forward to continuing the work underway and to initiating our U.S. Phase 2 trial in Q1 of 2021.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006.  In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

VistaGen Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: VTGN) CEO Shawn Singh authored a recent article for Life Science Leader titled, “The Future of Anxiety Treatment Will Be Drastically Different.” In the piece, Singh, an experienced professional who has dedicated over 25 years to biopharma and medical device industries, addresses the current standard of care for anxiety disorders and its inability to meet the growing need. “As researchers learn more about psychological therapy for anxiety disorders and medication options to complement it, efforts are underway to develop innovative medications to displace current anti-anxiety drugs that are not effective for all patients and are associated with significant potential side effects and safety concerns, especially benzodiazepines,” Singh writes. “If these new generation alternatives are developed successfully in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials, the future of anxiety disorder treatment will look drastically different from the current standard of care, and that sea of change couldn’t come a moment too soon.”

Sufficient Vitamin D Levels May Reduce Coronavirus Complications, Death

September 30, 2020 14:28:40

Researchers have discovered that coronavirus patients who were hospitalized and had vitamin D sufficiency were at a significantly lower risk of experiencing hypoxia, becoming unconscious or dying. Additionally, they had high levels of lymphocytes, which are immune cells that help the body fight infections, and had low levels of the C-reactive protein, which is an inflammatory marker.

The study was authored by Michael F. Holick, who is a professor of physiology, medicine and molecular medicine and biophysics at Boston University School of Medicine. The professor explained that the study provided evidence showing that sufficient…

Study Discovers That Septic Shock Begins Earlier than Scientists Thought

September 30, 2020 11:24:11

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have discovered that septic shock can be classified into four categories, making it easier for hospitals to accurately triage sepsis patients and treat individuals who are at higher risk first. This will prevent a higher mortality rate from people dying due to this costly and deadly medical condition.

The leading causes of in-hospital deaths are septic shock and sepsis. Biomedical researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Whiting School of Engineering state that their findings may be used to detect early signs of septic shock in patients who are rapidly developing the infection as it overpowers their immune…

BioMedNewsBreaks – VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN) CEO Addresses ‘Multi-Pronged Approach’ to Growing Problem of Workplace Stress and Anxiety

September 30, 2020 08:40:18

VistaGen Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: VTGN) CEO Shawn Singh authored a recent article for Business.com regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting stress and anxiety impacts to the workplace. In the piece, Singh indicates that stress and anxiety, often driven by job-related issues, when left unchecked can rise to the level of an anxiety disorder with negative consequences for physical health, mental well-being, productivity and career opportunities. The global pandemic has exacerbated this largely unaddressed and widespread mental health problem in the workplace, markedly reflecting in increased prescriptions for antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications, many associated with significant side effects and safety concerns. “To adequately address the growing problem of workplace stress and anxiety both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic – and the physical and mental health consequences associated with it – a multi-pronged approach is needed,” states Singh in the article. “This approach should include the provision of additional mental/emotional health support from employers in the form of employee assistance programs (‘EAPs’), as well as novel approaches to psychotherapy and fundamentally different medications by mental health professionals.”

Researchers Develop Simple Way to Detect Coronavirus Antibodies Using Glucose Monitors

September 29, 2020 09:53:07

Three scientists from Johns Hopkins; a biomedical engineer, a pharmacologist and a biophysicist, have come together to build a device that can detect if an individual has SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are small proteins produced by the immune system to help your body counteract a viral encounter and provide the immunity to fight it off if future infections occur.

The researchers derived their inspiration from a glucose monitor, which is used by millions of people around the world. This, they said, could help them design an antibody…

BioMedNewsBreaks – VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN) Featured in Equity Research Company Update

September 28, 2020 10:57:44

VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN), a biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, was featured in an Equity Research Company Update by Maxim Group LLC. The report, titled “Benzo-Benefits Without the Benzo-Baggage – The Case for PH94B Builds,” highlights potential benefits of VistaGen’s PH94B drug candidate, a nasal spray designed for treatment of adults with social anxiety disorder, as compared to treatment with benzodiazepines. The report reads, “Benzodiazepines (benzos) have been available to treat anxiety since the 1960s, and include well-known products such as Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin. These drug compounds work by binding to the receptors located on GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Although benzos produce anxiolytic effects, they are highly addictive and come with a host of side effects (sedation, impaired cognition, etc). Essentially, anywhere there is GABA, a benzo will have an impact and that’s an issue. PH94B is a neuroactive steroid called a pherine, which also activates GABA neurotransmission, but only in the central amygdala and not throughout the entire brain and central nervous system. Through its nasal spray formulation, a small amount of PH94B is delivered locally to cells in the nasal passages to activate chemosensory neurons that trigger neural circuits in the brain which suppress fear and anxiety. The drug itself never enters the brain, a key differentiator.”

Scientists Develop Human Retinas in a Dish

September 24, 2020 13:02:42

A team of scientists from the Institute for Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (“IOB”) that was led by Botond Roska, in collaboration with the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, have created indistinguishable replicas of human retinas in culture. These will be used to help find the specific cell types that are affected by genetic eye ailments. This project, which took 6 years, will significantly speed up the process of developing new therapies for eye ailments.

The paper’s principal author, who is also a senior researcher in the IOB Human Retinal Circuit Group, Cameron Cowan, says that the research sheds light on an unmet need that has existed for many years, which is to create model retinas that are indistinguishable from real retinas. She added that the efforts the team put into this research will make it possible to develop treatments…

About Humanigen Inc.

Humanigen is developing its portfolio of clinical and pre-clinical therapies for the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases via its novel, cutting-edge GM-CSF neutralization and gene-knockout platforms. The company believes that its GM-CSF neutralization and gene-editing platform technologies have the potential to reduce the inflammatory cascade associated with coronavirus infection. The company’s immediate focus is to prevent or minimize the cytokine release syndrome that precedes severe lung dysfunction and ARDS in serious cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The company is also focused on creating next-generation combinatory gene-edited CAR-T therapies using strategies to improve efficacy while employing GM-CSF gene knockout technologies to control toxicity. In addition, the company is developing its own portfolio of proprietary first-in-class EphA3-CAR-T for various solid cancers and EMR1-CAR-T for various eosinophilic disorders. The company is also exploring the effectiveness of its GM-CSF neutralization technologies (either through the use of lenzilumab as a neutralizing antibody or through GM-CSF gene knockout) in combination with other CAR-T, bispecific or natural killer (“NK”) T cell engaging immunotherapy treatments to break the efficacy/toxicity linkage, including to prevent and/or treat graft-versus-host disease (“GvHD”) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (“HSCT”). Additionally, Humanigen and Kite, a Gilead Company, are evaluating lenzilumab in combination with Yescarta(R) (axicabtagene ciloleucel) in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma in a clinical collaboration.

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Partners with Leading Medical Imaging Group for Upcoming Berubicin Clinical Trials

September 24, 2020 10:09:58

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system, has announced that it will partner with Image Analysis Group (“IAG”) for planned Berubicin clinical trials. IAG, a leading medical imaging group, and CNS will work together to provide critical imaging services and imaging data analysis for the trials. IAG has an extensive background of partnering with oncology companies to deliver centralized readings and analysis of patient responses in real time. IAG’s expertise will allow CNS to review efficacy assessments and explore the advanced-treatment manifestations. Because GBM therapies often lead to pseudo-progression that is commonly mistaken as tumor growth, this partnership is key. The clinical trials will be utilizing IAG’s advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven methodologies to produce reliable early efficacy readouts. “Adding IAG was a key step in preparation for the recently developed clinical trials in Berubicin,” said CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO John Climaco in the press release. “IAG has an exemplary track record of partnering closely with companies in the biotech space to provide critical analysis of both efficacy and patient response, which we believe will be pivotal in advancing our Berubicin clinical trials. Furthermore, this was yet another key milestone achieved in our trial preparations as we continue to take all of the necessary steps to ensure a successful and timely launch of our Phase II trials. We look forward to leveraging IAG’s extensive expertise, as we plan to initiate our Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin in adults early next year.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the United States, while a sublicensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies to be 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

Harvard Professor Launching Nasal Hygiene Mist Developed to Reduce Coronavirus Transmission

September 23, 2020 14:21:41

David A. Edwards, a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Harvard, is set to launch a new product that he developed, this fall. He claims that the product reduces almost 100% of particles that are present in exhaled air. This will help reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 both out of and into the lungs while breathing. This would mean that the risk of contracting COVID-19 would significantly decrease, especially for frontline workers, when it is used in combination with other Personal Protective Equipment like face masks.

The product is known as FEND and has been produced by Sensory Cloud, a tech startup owned by Edwards. FEND is a calcium chloride-based solution, almost like a saline spray and it contains no drugs, so no FDA approval is needed. Peer-reviewed research that was published in QRB Discovery by Sensory Cloud showed that the solution, when inhaled in mist form, cleaned the upper human airways…

Research such as that conducted by TumorGenesis is  the foundation of preclinical research and development. “It is remarkable that the UK cancer researchers using the same media mixes now being offered by TumorGenesis for researchers around the world, independently isolated, and identified another unique set of ovarian cancer cells from patients,” said TumorGenesis president Richard Gabriel. “Adding these 71 cell lines to our existing 25 cell lines (11 of the first 25 are representative of about 95% of ovarian tumors) adds a powerful new resource for researchers. The media used to grow the novel and unique ovarian cancer cell lines, licensed by Predictive Oncology and its partner, GLG Pharma, is able to retain 95%+ of the cell’s DNA and RNA as well as crucial proteomic signatures. . . . This new media will allow researchers around the world to isolate and culture ovarian cancer cell types and, in addition, culture them reproducibly to find new targets for the diagnostics, treatment, or any other needed studies on the close interrelationship of ovarian cancer tumor populations and how they are able to fool a patient’s immune system.”

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP), Sub-Licensee Partner Advancing Lead Drug Candidate in First-Ever Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clinical Trials

September 22, 2020 16:04:38

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, is advancing its leading drug candidate, Berubicin, to move forward with clinical trials in Poland. This move comes after sub-licensee WPD Pharmaceuticals Inc. has identified a contract research organization — Worldwide Clinical Trials — to coordinate and supervise Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials in the European country (http://ibn.fm/iFYph). A recent article discussing this reads, “Berubicin is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (‘GBM’), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Berubicin also has potential to treat other central nervous system malignancies. In Poland, WPD will conduct the first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GMB patients and an adult Phase 2 trial. Sixty percent of the program will be funded by WPD via a $6 million reimbursement grant from the EU/Polish National Center for Research and Development.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006.  In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the United States, while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies to be 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

EU Announces Plans to Form Biomedical Research Agency

September 22, 2020 14:21:28

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, announced plans for the European Union (“EU”) to play a much greater role in the health sector. The EU plans to form a new agency for biomedical research, which will be modeled on the United States Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). The agency will help reinforce the European Center for Disease prevention and Control and the European Medicines Agency.

The EU BARDA will also support the European Union’s readiness and capacity to counter cross-border emergencies and threats, whether they were deliberate or natural. The EU BARDA is seen as a response to criticisms from the CEOs of a couple of European pharmaceutical firms, Paul Hudson of Sanofi and Pascal Soriot of AstraZeneca, who both stated the need for Europe…

Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The company’s lead product candidate, “GPX-001” (“quaratusugene ozeplasmid”), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). GPX-001 has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. GPX-001 has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for GPX-001 for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s “Tagrisso(R)”) for patients with “EFGR” mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone.

Important Coronavirus Pandemic Lessons for the Diagnostics Industry

September 21, 2020 10:04:44

As we all know by now, the best way to help stop the spread of coronavirus is getting a coronavirus test done and wearing a mask, of course. A test reveals whether a person is negative or positive. A negative test result means an individual does not have the virus while a positive result means that one does have the virus.

As we have seen, a positive rest result warrants quarantine for a 2-week period during which an individual is observed or treated, depending on the severity of their symptoms. Around the world, 200 million tests have been performed. However, very few countries have been able to execute testing on a mass scale. The main reason behind this is not the unavailability of testing kits alone. Many countries have imposed restrictions such as lockdowns and social distancing guidelines and with economies struggling…

BioMedNewsBreaks – Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI), Helomics Provide Key Insight to Personalized Cancer Treatment

September 18, 2020 12:16:21

Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine, lives by the motto: Cancer is personal; we believe therapy should be too. The company’s subsidiary Helomics builds AI-driven models designed to predict drug response and patient outcome of individual tumors. The company is able to do that because it relies on POAI’s tumor inventory, one of the largest in the world. POAI is a leader in working with oncologists in offering a functional precision medicine approach to treating cancer. Key information provided by Predictive Oncology can improve a patient’s odds in the fight against cancer. An article discussing this powerful approach explains that “a key component in Predictive Oncology’s ability to offer such individualized insight is the company’s Tumor Drug Response Profiling (“TDRP”) platform, which it combines with the latest NGS-based genomic profiling and POAI’s vast cancer knowledge-base of 150,000 tumors. Exclusive to POAI, these resources provide a more functional approach to precision medicine and allow an oncologist to reach beyond genomics alone in providing cancer-treatment recommendations.”

4 Face Mask Myths

September 18, 2020 08:10:23

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) recently stated that “Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus,” (https://ibn.fm/1yiUN). However, there are people that believe alternative sources, or unsubstantiated myths, such as those listed below.

  1. Wearing a mask causes carbon dioxide build-up, especially when worn for a long period of time

Some people claim they won’t be able to breathe if they have a mask on. However, there is no scientific truth behind this claim. Take for instance, health care workers, who wear masks for many hours…

BioMedNewsBreaks – CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Slated to Present at Oppenheimer Fall Healthcare Life Sciences & MedTech Summit

September 17, 2020 09:15:41

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system, announced it will be one of the companies appearing at this year’s online  Oppenheimer Fall Healthcare Life Sciences & MedTech Summit; the event is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 2020. The company’s CEO John Climaco will make the virtual presentation as well as hold one-on-one virtual investor meetings throughout the event. The summit will begin at 10 a.m. EDT, and a replay of Climaco’s presentation will be available on the company’s website for 90 days after the summit.

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.

BioMedNewsBreaks – Revive Therapeutics Ltd. (CSE: RV) (OTC: RVVTF) Receives IRB Approval for Bucilliamine COVID-19 Treatment Program

Revive Therapeutics (CSE: RVV) (OTC: RVVTF), a specialty life sciences company focused on the research and development of therapeutics for medical needs and rare disorders, announced that is has received approval from the independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) for one of its programs. The program is Revive’s expanded access protocol (“EAP”) for compassionate use of Bucillamine in the treatment of COVID-19. The EAP comprises a multi-center, open-label study of Bucillamine in hospitalized patients suffering from severe COVID-19. The study calls for patients to receive Bucillamine 200 mg orally, three times a day for up to 14 days. Patients will be monitored to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bucillamine at that dosage. Follow-up safety assessments will also be performed. “With the IRB approval of the expanded access protocol by Advarra, a premier IRB services company in North America, hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 may access Bucillamine under the FDA compassionate use program under medical supervision by their physician,” Revive CEO Michael Frank stated in the press release. “The EAP serves as an option for patients that are not eligible for inclusion criteria in our Phase 3 clinical study in COVID-19, and the resulting data from the EAP will be valuable in supporting our clinical development of Bucillamine.”

Uneven Brain Growth Might Be Behind Risky Behavior in Adolescents

September 14, 2020 11:15:18

Every parent knows that no two children are alike. So you’re wondering why your adolescent children take more risks as compared to the others but you have no explanation? Look no further. Scientists have discovered that in adolescents, the two centers of the brain; the one that makes them want to take risks as well as the other which works on preventing them from acting on these impulses, physically develop at different rates. It is reported that adolescents who have bigger differences in the rates of development of these two centers are much more likely to be risk-takers as compared to those with smaller differences.

This study was carried out by Curtis Johnson, a Biomedical Engineer from the University of Delaware and a graduate student, Grace McIIvain. The details of their study…

Combining Silk with Synthetic Compounds: The Future of Biomedical Implants

September 11, 2020 11:55:06

Silk has an extensive history of being used in medical practices. For example, there exist vast records of doctors in the past using fibers that were spun by silkworms to stitch up patients nearly 200 years ago. Today, surgeons sometimes use silk sutures to finish certain operations, like eye surgeries.

This is mainly because silk is not only safe for use in a human body but is also tolerated well by the human body. In some instances, the body degrades and absorbs it. This is not silk’s only application. Its potential is limitless as researchers explore the different ways in which it can be used in biomedical applications. These researchers predict that in the future, silk…

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006.  In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
