StemCell Therapy

PDUFA Action Date is June 28, 2023

VAUGHAN, Ontario and HEIDELBERG, Germany, Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO) ("Bausch + Lomb"), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, and Novaliq GmbH, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on first- and best-in-class ocular therapeutics, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) filing for investigational treatment NOV03 (perfluorohexyloctane). A potential first-in-class eye drop with a novel mechanism of action, NOV03 is an investigational therapy to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) associated with Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). NOV03 has been assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 28, 2023.

"With the FDA commencing review of the NDA filing, we are one step closer to bringing an important new treatment option to the millions of Americans affected by dry eye disease associated with Meibomian gland dysfunction," said Joseph C. Papa, CEO, Bausch + Lomb. "NOV03 is distinct from anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents, and, if approved, would be the first prescription eye drop to address excessive tear evaporation. The approval would also mark a significant milestone for Bausch + Lomb, as the company's first FDA approval for a prescription medicine since becoming a publicly traded company earlier this year."

DED is one of the most common ocular surface disorders, with MGD as a major cause of development and progression, affecting approximately nine out of 10 people with DED.1,2 DED due to MGD is caused by a deficient tear film lipid layer that leads to increased tear evaporation.3 There is currently no approved prescription eye drop in the United States for DED associated with MGD.

"We are thrilled the FDA has accepted our NDA filing for NOV03," said Christian Roesky, Ph.D., CEO, Novaliq. "With only limited treatment options currently available, NOV03 is a promising potential new therapy, specifically designed to alleviate the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease associated with Meibomian gland dysfunction."

The clinical development program for NOV03 includes two Phase 3 studies (GOBI and MOJAVE), both of which demonstrated statistically significant improvement vs. control for both primary and key secondary sign and symptom endpoints as early as day 15 and through day 57. NOV03 was well tolerated in both studies.

About NOV03 (perfluorohexyloctane) Ophthalmic SolutionNOV03 (perfluorohexyloctane) is an investigational, proprietary, water-free, non-steroidal, single-component preservative-free eye drop.4In 2019, Bausch + Lomb acquired an exclusive license for the commercialization and development of NOV03 inthe United StatesandCanada.Data from the first pivotal Phase 3 trial (GOBI) were presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) annual meeting in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 2022. Data from the second pivotal Phase 3 trial (MOJAVE) were presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual meeting in Denver on May 2, 2022.

Bausch + Lomb and Novaliq Announce U.S. FDA Filing Acceptance for Investigational Treatment NOV03 (Perfluorohexyloctane) - BioSpace

A research team led by the Department of Ophthalmology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine of The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), with collaborators from the Faculty of Medicine of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU Medicine) and local and international partners, have developed a new technology ROTA (Retinal nerve fibre layer Optical Texture Analysis) to unveil the optical texture and trajectories of the axonal fibre bundles on the retina. ROTA outperforms the current clinical standards, attaining 15.0% to 28.4% higher in sensitivity in detecting early optic nerve damage in glaucoma the leading cause of irreversible blindness. The research has been published in Nature Biomedical Engineering1[link to publication].

BackgroundGlaucoma is the most common form of neurodegenerative disease. Whereas clinical diagnosis of glaucoma is predicated on the measurement of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness, typically obtained with a non-invasive digital imaging device, optical coherence tomography (OCT)2, false positives and false negatives are common, which renders clinical interpretation of OCT findings difficult, even for glaucoma specialists. This is supported by a meta-analysis reporting that the sensitivities of best-performing OCT parameters for detection of RNFL thickness abnormalities were only 65%-75% at specificities of 90%-95%3.

Research findings and significanceROTA is a patented algorithm (US Patent No. 10,918,275)4that integrates RNFL thickness and RNFL reflectance measurements obtained from standard OCT scans to discern the optical texture and trajectories of the axonal fibre bundles and reveal RNFL defects. ROTA can detect focal RNFL defects that are missed by standard clinical tests. Compared with OCT, ROTA can increase the sensitivity of detecting early optic nerve damage in glaucoma by 15-22%. At 95% specificity, the sensitivity of ROTA was 97.3-98.4% for detection of early glaucoma, 15.0% to 28.4% higher than the current clinical standards. HKUMed is working with the University of California San Diego (UCSD), the United States, to apply ROTA in research and patient care, while patients can find the application of ROTA at HKU Eye Centre and Southern District Hong Kong Eye Survey.

In a diagnostic study examining 177 healthy individuals and 363 glaucoma patients at the CUHK Eye Centre of CU Medicine, ROTA attained significantly higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional OCT RNFL thickness analysis to detect glaucoma1. Furthermore, ROTA is able to identify axonal fibre bundle damage in optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, and compressive optic neuropathy.

We are delighted to have worked with CU Medicine to develop ROTA, which brings new hope to early identification and timely treatment of glaucoma due to its high sensitivity and specificity, said Professor Christopher Leung Kai-shun, Chairperson and Clinical Professor of the Department of Ophthalmology, School of Clinical Medicine, HKUMed. Our next steps include enrolling patients from Queen Mary Hospital, Grantham Hospital, and Hong Kong Eye Hospital for longitudinal studies to examine the effectiveness of ROTA for detection of glaucoma progression, as well as working with OCT industrial partners to deploy ROTA in clinical care. Furthermore, HKU Eye Centre welcomes patients with questionable diagnosis of glaucoma for ROTA assessment.

Professor Clement Tham Chee-yung, Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and S.H. Ho Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, CU Medicine, remarked, Glaucoma can lead to irreversible loss of vision, if it is not diagnosed and treated early. In Hong Kong, about 25% of irreversible blindness is caused by glaucoma, and there are more about 100,000 glaucoma patients suffering from various levels of visual disability. Achieving earlier diagnosis of glaucoma and detection of progression through advanced imaging technologies is essential. I am glad that ROTA was developed by CU Medicine and HKUMeds collaboration and now it can be used in clinical practice.

Clinical applicationsROTA underpins a highly sensitive and specific technique to advance the diagnosis of glaucoma and optic neuropathies. ROTA will be deployed on the Advanced Nerve and Glaucoma Imaging Network (ANGI Network), which comprises ophthalmologists, neuro-ophthalmologists and clinical researchers around the world. The committee members of ANGI Network include world-leading institutions in glaucoma research such as HKU, Asan Medical Center (Korea), Beyer Eye Institute at Stanford University (US), Moorfields Eye Hospital (UK), NTU Langones Eye Center (US), and University College London (UK).

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDYA), a synthetic lethality focused precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery and development of targeted therapeutics, announced interim results from its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating darovasertib and crizotinib synthetic lethal combination in metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) patients (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03947385).

"The confirmed partial responses and high percentage of patients with tumor shrinkage shown in these interim Phase 2 data are extremely encouraging for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. The 50% overall response rate and greater than 5 months median progression free survival observed in first-line MUM patients reflects the potential for a compelling clinical efficacy profile irrespective of haplotype (HLA-A*02:01) status. The partial responses shown in first-line and any-line MUM patients are clinically significant and build on previously-reported results for any-line MUM patients, now with a larger patient data set," said Dr. Marlana Orloff, M.D., Associate Professor, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, Jefferson Health.

"The clinical efficacy observed in first-line patients in these interim Phase 2 data presents an opportunity to pursue a front-line strategy and provides a rationale for a potential registration-enabling clinical trial in MUM," said Dr. Matt Maurer, M.D., Vice President, Head of Clinical Oncology and Medical Affairs, IDEAYA Biosciences.

There are currently no FDA approved therapies for GNAQ and GNA11 solid tumors, and current therapies for MUM have relatively low objective response rates and short median progression free survival (PFS), highlighting the high unmet medical need. Approximately 90% of MUM has either a GNAQ or GNA11 mutation that activates the protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathway. The historical overall response rate (ORR) in MUM clinical trials has generally been reported with an ORR ranging from approximately 0 to 5%, including: pembrolizumab and tebentafusp (each ~5%); MEK inhibitor selumetinib in combination with dacarbazine (~3%); and cMET inhibitor cabozantinib monotherapy (~0%). In addition, the historical median PFS in MUM clinical trials has been reported ranging from approximately 2.0 to 2.8 months, including: tebentafusp (~2.8 months, IMCgp100-102 study); MEK inhibitor selumetinib in combination with dacarbazine (~2.8 months); and cMET inhibitor cabozantinib monotherapy (~2.0 months).

Darovasertib (IDE196) is a small molecule, potential first-in-class protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. IDEAYA is evaluating the synthetic lethal combination of darovasertib and crizotinib, a small molecule cMET inhibitor, in MUM and other GNAQ/11 tumors pursuant to a clinical trial collaboration and drug supply agreement with Pfizer.

Clinical Data Update Darovasertib and Crizotinib Combination in MUM The interim Phase 2 clinical data update is based on an initial thirty-seven (37) patients enrolled in the darovasertib and crizotinib combination study at the expansion dose of 300mg twice-a-day darovasertib and 200mg twice-a-day crizotinib, as of the data analysis cutoff date of June 26, 2022. Out of the thirty-seven (37) patients enrolled, there were thirty-five (35) evaluable patients and two (2) non-evaluable patients. The two (2) non-evaluable patients were both pretreated and withdrew from the trial prior to the first scan. Neither of the two non-evaluable patients progressed due to disease: one (1) patient withdrew consent and one (1) patient discontinued early due to fatigue. Reported data are preliminary and based on an unlocked database as of the data analyses cutoff date, except one confirmatory scan after the data cutoff date or as otherwise noted. Enrollment in the darovasertib and crizotinib combination expansion dose cohort of the clinical trial is ongoing.

The company observed encouraging clinical activity in Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating darovasertib and crizotinib synthetic lethal combination in metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) patients in the expansion dose cohort. These investigator-reviewed data by RECIST 1.1 include:

These data provide robust clinical proof-of-concept for the efficacy of the darovasertib and crizotinib synthetic lethal combination treatment.

The darovasertib and crizotinib combination therapy has a manageable adverse event profile in MUM patients (n=37), with a low rate of drug-related serious adverse events (SAE's). Patients reported predominantly Grade 1 or 2 drug-related adverse events: all patients experienced a drug-related AE, of which 76% were reported as Grade 1 or 2 and 24%were reported as Grade 3. No patients observed Grade 4 or Grade 5 AE's. One patient discontinued treatment due to a drug-related adverse event.

The potentially addressable patient population for metastatic uveal melanoma is estimated to include over 4,000 patients across US and Europe, based on estimated annual incidence. As an orally-administered small molecule precision medicine therapeutic, with demonstrated anti-tumor activity and manageable adverse event profile, the company considers the darovasertib and crizotinib combination therapy to have the potential to be broadly impactful to the MUM patient population.

IDEAYA is currently targeting to initiate a potential registration-enabling trial in Q1 2023. The company is evaluating first-line MUM as a potential registrational regulatory strategy. As of August 31, 2022, IDEAYA has enrolled 21 first-line MUM patients at the expansion dose of the darovasertib and crizotinib combination study.

Darovasertib (Neo)Adjuvant Uveal Melanoma and Other Potential Expansion OpportunitiesIDEAYA is also evaluating the potential for darovasertib in other oncology indications, including as (neo)adjuvant therapy in primary uveal melanoma (UM), in cMET-driven tumors and in KRAS-mutation tumors.

(Neo)Adjuvant UM represents a significant expansion opportunity for darovasertib with a potential annual incidence of approximately 8,700 patients aggregate in US and Europe.

The company has observed preliminary proof of concept for potential darovasertib use in the (neo)adjuvant uveal melanoma setting, including responses of the primary orbital tumor. Clinical data reflects an observed tumor shrinkage by investigator review of primary ocular lesions in 5 of 5 (100%) UM or MUM patients treated as monotherapy or in combination with Crizotinib, including preliminary observation of tumor reductions in uvea lesion of two patients after the data cut-off date of August 19, 2022:

"I am excited to explore the potential for darovasertib as a (neo)adjuvant approach for the treatment of uveal melanoma patients. The observed clinical experience provides a basis for clinical investigation to evaluate whether darovasertib, can improve current primary treatment paradigms, which typically include radiotherapies and/or enucleation of the eye," said Dr. Marcus Butler, Medical Oncologist, Tumor Immunotherapy Program, Melanoma/Skin Oncology Site Lead at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre inToronto,Canada, and Ocular Melanoma Physician Task Force ofCanadaCo-Lead.

IDEAYA is supporting St. Vincent's Hospital Sydney Limited, which has initiated an Investigator Sponsored Trial, or IST, captioned as the "Neoadjuvant / Adjuvant trial of Darovasertib in Ocular Melanoma" (NADOM) study, to evaluate darovasertib monotherapy in a neo-adjuvant and adjuvant setting in primary UM patients. IDEAYA is targeting initiation of a company-sponsored clinical trial in Q4 2022 to further evaluate darovasertib monotherapy in (neo)adjuvant uveal melanoma, and is evaluating potential near-term clinical endpoints such as vision and organ preservation.

IDEAYA Investor Webcast and Conference CallIDEAYA will host an investor webcast and conference tomorrow morning, September 12, 2022 at 8:00 am ET, to present darovasertib and crizotinib Phase 2 interim clinical efficacy and tolerability data, as well as clinical landscape, potential registrational strategies and expansion opportunities.

On August 16, 2018, the NIH Director issued a statement describing a proposal to streamline the federal framework for oversight of gene therapy. This proposal, which was developed in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration, included amending the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (NIH Guidelines) to eliminate duplicative review and reporting requirements for human gene transfer protocols. The statement also describes NIHs effort to refocus the role of the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) to be closer to its original mandate a transparent forum for science, safety, and ethics of emerging biotechnologies. After a 60-day public comment period, the NIH Guidelines have been updated to reflect these changes and the RAC has been renamed the Novel and Exceptional Technology and Research Advisory Committee (NExTRAC).

The charter of the NExTRAC reflects the shift in focus of the committee while embracing the continuity of this important advisory committee.

Patients were treated with neratinib monotherapy (240 mg/day); 22 patients (100%) had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy, 16 patients (73%) had prior bevacizumab, and 4 patients (18%) received prior pembrolizumab. Overall, the objective response rate was 18.2% (95% CI: 5.240.3%) and the clinical benefit rate was 45.5% (95% CI: 24.467.8%), which included 1 patient with a confirmed complete response, 3 patients with confirmed partial responses, and 6 patients with stable disease at equal or greater than 16 weeks. The median progression-free survival was 5.1 months (95% CI: 1.77.2 months). Among the 13 patients (59.1%) who had tumors with a highly activating HER2 S310F/Y mutation, 4 had confirmed responses.

Story continues

The safety profile observed in the neratinib-treated cervical cancer patients was consistent with that reported for neratinib monotherapy in HER2-amplified breast cancer. The most frequently observed treatment-related adverse event was any-grade diarrhea (n=18; 81.8%), which included 5 (22.7%) Grade 3 or higher diarrhea events. Diarrhea was manageable with anti-diarrheal prophylaxis and none of the diarrhea events resulted in dose reduction or treatment discontinuation.

"HER2 mutations are present in 5% of cervical cancers, most commonly in endocervical adenocarcinomas, and HER2 targeted therapy is a potential treatment option for patients whose cancer has grown after standard first lines of treatment, including platinum-based chemotherapy," said Dr. Friedman, an investigator of the study from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. "Neratinib treatment has been effective against several HER2-mutant cancers and the observed durable responses and disease control in metastatic patients with HER2-mutant cervical cancer are extremely promising for patients."

Alan H. Auerbach, CEO and President of Puma Biotechnology, added, "We are very pleased to observe that treatment with neratinib led to durable response and effective disease control in patients with aggressive HER2-mutant cervical cancer and that the adverse event of diarrhea could be managed with prophylaxis. Improving the lives of our cancer patients is our foremost goal, and we are pleased to see the benefit that was provided to these patients in the SUMMIT trial."

Puma Biotechnology to Present at the H.C. Wainwright 24th Annual Global Investment Conference - Business Wire

Did you know Wilson Community College offers a two-year degree in biotechnology?

This field is designed to meet the ever-increasing demands for skilled lab technicians in a wide range of fields in biological and chemical technology. So if you find yourself interested in the sciences, this is a great option to explore. The program focuses on biological sciences, biochemistry and genetics.

The biotechnology program at WCC includes a diverse group of students, including traditional students, early college students and high school students. Biotechnology students attending the Wilson Academy of Applied Technology, one of our early colleges, not only earn a high school diploma, but they also get a two-year degree at the same time. And we also partner with the Sallie B. Howard School of Art & Science to provide biotechnology courses to juniors and seniors as part of the College and Career Promise program.

WCCs biotechnology instructor, Stephanie Winstead, has a degree in chemistry and has work experience in the pharmaceutical industry a win-win for our students. She knows firsthand the importance of and the need for skilled workers in this field.

After 17 years in the pharmaceutical industry, and as my career evolved from a training role to a more administrative role, I realized my passion was teaching, she said. While my career has changed, my goal is the same. I now have the opportunity to train personnel for the job they want, rather than training them for the job they have. I am committed to giving students the skills necessary to successfully gain employment in the biotech field upon graduation. I am incredibly thankful for the privilege of serving the needs of my community.

And to add to that, we just received some exciting news. The North Carolina Community College System just announced that it was awarded $16.4 million over three years in federal funding to implement the N.C. BioBetter project. This is part of the U.S. Economic Development Administration Phase 2 Build Back Better Regional Challenge spearheaded by the N.C. Biotechnology Center.

The funding, awarded to Wilson Community College and nine other community colleges in the state, will help strengthen our states life sciences manufacturing cluster by expanding training and helping promote career opportunities to underserved communities.

With careers in biotechnology, the skys the limit. Graduates are qualified in all kinds of industry and government, including research, manufacturing and sales, just to name a few. We work with some of our local industries like Merck & Co., Purdue Pharma, Fresenius Kabi, Mayne Pharma and Global Laboratory Services Inc. Side note: Global Laboratory Services is not pharma, but rather agricultural biotechnology. We have students doing work-based learning with the company as crop protection agents, and Global Laboratory Services has recently hired one of our biotech graduates with hopes to hire more. And we also have an apprenticeship program with GlaxoSmithKline in Zebulon.

But to be more specific, here are the different types of work available. Graduates will be able to do the following:

Monitor or measure manufacturing processes to identify ways to reduce losses, decrease time requirements or improve quality.

Conduct routine and non-routine analyses of in-process materials, raw materials, environmental samples, finished goods or stability samples.

Interpret test results, compare them to established specifications and control limits and make recommendations on appropriateness of data for release.

Compile laboratory test data and perform appropriate analyses.

Complete documentation needed to support testing procedures, including data capture forms, equipment logbooks or inventory forms.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

You're reading Entrepreneur Asia Pacific, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.

With one of the highest concentrations of high-quality startups in the world, Israel has built a global reputation, rightfully earning the nickname of 'startup nation'. Industries ranging from agriculture, technology, healthcare, and more, have benefitted from the immense levels of innovation coming from Israel. In an attempt to become self-reliant, Israel invested in infrastructure, education, and technology to empower innovative leaders and field experts to lead the charge in their respective industries.

Biotechnology is one of Israel's most dominant sectors, with life science companies raising nearly $7 billion in the last decade on the NASDAQ. Israel's clear prominence in this industry has led major companies such as Pfizer, GE, Johnson & Johnson and more, to build R&D centers and startup incubators in the country. Garnering recognition on a global scale, helping other countries solve their own problems, and cultivating innovation within its own borders have propelled Israel to the center of biotech, and this is just the beginning.

What sets Israel apart

In the healthcare sector, many countries have failed to update medical procedures, opting for traditional, outdated approaches that fail to optimize procedures and client experiences. Israel is setting a new standard by showcasing the value of innovation and technology in medicine. For instance, the Israel-based company Nanox, which uses AI to redefine the landscape in early medical detection, had the largest IPO of any young medical company in history in 2020. This is just one example of how Israel has fostered innovation in biotech.

There are many factors that play into Israel's ambitious successes in biotechnology, but top-notch education and high levels of R&D investment are two of the most notable. Israel spends roughly 6 per cent of its GDP on education, and its academic institutions foster creative learning, innovation and technology for their students at all levels.

With educated citizens, grand investments in R&D, and an ever-changing landscape of need, Israel is poised to serve as a leader in biotechnology for the foreseeable future. Global landscapes across several industries are changing thanks to Israel's commitment to cutting-edge advancements in biotech.

Advancing the future of meaty technology

As more consumers grow weary of the potential health risks, environmental impact, and animal cruelty aspect of eating meat, alternative options are taking form at a rapid pace. Aleph Farms is the world's first company to produce steaks from animal cells. Recently, they announced that will join the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) as an Innovation Sprint Partner.

Aleph Farms sees cellular agriculture as a practical solution to the world's most urgent issues and is working on developing affordable cell growth media for cultivated meat production, as well as conducting groundbreaking experiments on cultivated meat in space.

Revolutionizing Spinal Cord Treatment

There are between 250,000 and 500,000 new spinal cord injuries each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). These injuries are largely irreversible, leaving patients with costly medical care needs, extensive therapy treatments, and not much hope. Cutting-edge biotechnology is being developed to offer patients treatment that could restore some of the lost function.

NurExone, an Israel-based biotechnology company uses exosome technology to deliver proprietary agents that have the potential to support nerve regeneration. NurExone's studies show that their technology can create significant functional improvements. In one of their studies, they showed how animals who were able to walk again due to their treatment. NurExone's technology has been shown to stimulate nerve regeneration all while being non-invasive something quite revolutionary. Although they are still early-on in their journey, NurExone is reigniting treatment approaches for spinal cord injuries (SCI). With the total market for spinal cord trauma expected to reach $3.04 billion by 2025, NurExone's is tackling a large issue and brining hope to SCI patients around the world.

Treating cancer with precision medicine

Every patient is different, and Imagene AI is making it possible to treat them as such. With digitized biopsy imaging, Imagene AI can offer real-time molecular analysis to cancer patients, reducing the normal lead time from two weeks to two minutes. This level of innovation is astounding, but Imagene AI takes it even further. With wide-scope treatment-response prediction, medical professionals can gain an understanding of how each patient's body will respond to a variety of treatment plans.

A recent investment round brought in $21.5 million, with $18.5 million coming from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and his fellow investors Dr. David Angus and Eyal Gura. At only two years old, Imagene AI has already begun changing the landscape of cancer treatment.

Biotech innovation addresses humanity's biggest problems

With Israel, the hub of innovation, leading the charge, the future is bright for biotechnology and the impact it will have on the world. While many medical needs can be addressed with the right advancements in the industry, it is becoming more clear that igniting growth in the biotech industry will bring abundant benefits to many other industries that need to be propelled into the future.
