Innovative Gx Laboratories Announces the Grand Opening of Its Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory in Texas - PRNewswire

The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry and Medicine are the acme of scientific achievement -- honoring great minds and life-changing discoveries. But predicting who will be summoned to Stockholm and win the accolades, which are announced next week, is easy to get wrong.

That doesn't mean that people don't try.

Some look at which scientists have won so-called predictor prizes like the Lasker Awards for medical science, others analyze the fields of study favored by the Nobel Committee and tally how many years pass before a specific field is honored.

Complicating matters is that the Nobel selection committee, according to the rules laid down by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in 1895, can only honor up to three people -- something that is getting harder given the collaborative nature of much scientific research.

Pandemic medicine

Unlike the peace prize, which often raises some eyebrows, the science prizes tend to honor achievements that have withstood the test of time -- last year's prize in chemistry recognized research in the development of lithium batteries from the 1980s that included honoring the oldest winner ever. The distinctions in science are thus less likely to generate controversy.

This means that it's highly unlikely that the fast-moving scientific research into Covid-19 will be featured, although many think that a drug to treat the disease or vaccine to stop its spread is a potential future winner.

That said, Gilbert Thompson, professor emeritus of clinical lipidology at Imperial College London, thinks that the committee could honor two scientists, Max Cooper and Jacques Miller, whose discovery about the organization and function of the human immune system, in particular B cells and T cells, is underpinning vaccine research.

Eman Ghanem, membership director at Sigma Xi, a global association of around 30,000 scientists that includes some 200 Nobel prize winners, is hopeful that there will be a female Nobel Laureate in science after an all-male lineup in 2019.

Citations

David Pendlebury, a senior citation analyst at Clarivate Analytics, since 2002 has made 54 correct predictions (though not usually in the right year) by analyzing how often a scientist's key papers are cited by peers. Out of some 50 million scientific papers indexed since 1970, only 5,700 (or 0.01%) have been cited 2,000 or more times, and this is the pool from which his prediction are drawn.

"We're not saying that these particular people are going to win in a particular year," Pendlebury said. "We're saying these people are Nobel class and are likely to win a Nobel prize at some point.

For the physics prize, one of three contending groups Pendlebury lists is Carlos Frenk of Durham University, Julio Navarro of University of Victoria in Canada and Simon White, former director at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics, for their work into galaxy formation, cosmic structure and dark matter. However, Pendlebury said a win this year is unlikely because last year's physics prize for the first discovery of planets outside our solar system, led by Princeton astrophysicist James Peebles, was from the same field.

"It's highly cited, essential work, but I think it will probably be a few years till they return to a prize in cosmology," he said. "Though they could prove me wrong."

Conservative choices

The CRISPR gene-editing technology, is often mentioned as a candidate for the chemistry prize, but Pendlebury said it was a potential minefield for a Nobel Committee that likes to play it safe.

While worthy, he said several groups of scientists have been collaborating on gene editing, making it hard to narrow it down to three names. Moreover, the technology had until recently been tied up in patent wrangles. (And that's notwithstanding the ethical concerns that have dogged the technology in the wake of Chinese scientist He Jiankui, who was jailed for creating the world's first gene-edited babies.)

"I think they are making conservative choices on the significance of the science," he said.

For medicine, Pendlebury's picks include Yusuke Nakamura, a Japanese geneticist, whose contributions in pioneering whole genome sequencing gave birth to the field of personalized medicine that has revolutionized cancer treatment; and Lebanese scientist Huda Y. Zoghbi, for her work on neurological disorders including the genetic origins of Rett syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder that occurs primarily in girls. She was the 2017 winner of a $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences -- founded by Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg.

"She's a very good example of someone who's likely to get Nobel recognition because of the awards she's been getting," Pendlebury said. "It's not just the accumulation of citations. Receiving these top prizes, which are chosen and selected by your peers, you get a stronger and stronger signal of how important this work has been."

President Trumps announcement that he has tested positive for the corona virus has grabbed headlines, but the dog that didnt bark presents a more interesting point. Wall Street isnt so worried about corona virus anymore; the perception is, that the virus will fade away or a vaccine will be developed, but in either case, the economy will improve.According to an RBC survey of portfolio managers, however, the coming November election presents a clear risk to the markets. A large majority of investors surveyed, 76%, worry that the election will be contested, resulting in weeks possibly months on uncertainty. And uncertainty is bad for the markets.Recent events, and some not-to-distant history, bear them out. For the history, we must only look back to 2000, when it took until December 12, and an appeal to the Supreme Court, to decide the results of the Florida recount. The S&P 500 slipped 5% during those weeks and that was uncertainty caused by one state, recounting a limited number of votes. The point here is not that this election will be fraudulent or illegitimate. Rather, like Caesars wife, the election should be above the perception of impropriety and this year, that bar may be too high. And then the challenges will begin. In the RBC survey, 83% of portfolio managers believed that such challenges, contesting the election results (from either direction) would be a net negative for the stock market. And only a small minority, 14%, believe that the final results will be known when the polls close on Election Day, November 3.And this is what brings us to dividend stocks today. When investors get nervous, they go looking for a way to protect their portfolios and dividends, making the promise of a steady income stream, may be just the answer skittish shareholders are looking for.Analysts from research firm Compass Point agree. They have picked three stocks whose dividends are yielding 7% or more. Weve pulled up the TipRanks data to find out what else makes these compelling buys in turbulent times.Saratoga Investment Corporation (SAR)Well start with Saratoga Investment Corporation, a mid-market investment management company that specializes in debt, appreciation, and equity investments. Saratoga has over $480 million in assets under management, and its portfolio includes home security, industry, software, and waste disposal. The variety, and the stocks chosen, are designed to give the company a resilient income stream.That doesnt mean that Saratoga has been able to dodge the corona bullet. The company saw revenues turn negative in Q2, and has seen EPS slip from 61 cents in the first quarter to 51 cents in the second. As a result, Saratoga announced that it was deferring its fiscal Q4 dividend, as a cash-saving measure during the pandemic crisis.Saratoga, in July, declared its fiscal Q1 dividend for 40 cents per common share and paid it out in August. There are grounds for confidence. The company has $9 million in committed, but undrawn, lending available, along with $155 million in available credit facilities, a new $43.1 million baby bond issue, and $282 million equity all set against just $60 million in long-term debt.As for the restored dividend, while down 28% from the companys last dividend payment, the new distribution reflects Saratogas liquidity position. The current payment annualizes to $1.60, and gives a yield of 9.2%, or more than 4.5x the average yield found among S&P-listed companies.Covering the stock for Compass Point, analyst Casey Alexander writes of the new dividend, [With] the dividend now officially reset at $0.40 per quarter, it's time to make lemonade from the lemons investors were handed In our view, while we may not be done with credit issues, SAR has set the dividend at a level that allows the BDC to return to the pattern of QoQ dividend increases as the current earnings power of the BDC well exceeds the level of the new dividend.Taking everything into account, Alexander rates SAR stock a Buy, and gives it a $19.75 price target implying an upside of 16% for the coming year. (To watch Alexanders track record, click here)Overall, Saratoga gets a unanimous Strong Buy rating from the analyst consensus, based on 3 recent positive reviews. The shares are selling for $17.02 and have an average price target of $22.58, slightly more bullish than Alexanders and suggesting a one-year upside of ~33%. (See SAR stock analysis on TipRanks)Solar Capital, Ltd. (SLRC)The next stock on our list, Solar Capital, is an investor in senior secured loans and subordinated debt, with an investment portfolio of middle-market companies. The company puts capital into investment-grade loan instruments, making additional financing available to its customer base. Solar Capital has a portfolio worth $1.4 billion invested in 183 companies across 80 business sectors.Solar Capital has been able to keep earnings positive during the corona half, despite a sharp fall in the bottom line for Q1 and Q2. In a bright spot, revenues, which turned negative in Q1, were back to positive in Q2, and projections for Q3 earnings show that the fall-off is either slowing or stopping we will find out which in the Q3 report on November 5.Through all of this uncertainty, Solar Capital has kept up its stable dividend. The company has a 7-year history of reliable dividend payments, and the current quarterly dividend of 41 cents has been paid out consistently for the last 11 quarters. At an annualized payment of $1.64, the dividend currently yields 10.5%. In a time of near-zero official interest rate policy, this gives SLRC an enviable return.Compass Point's Casey Alexander, who also covers SAR, points out that SLRCs dividend is the main attraction for investors and that management has cultivated it for just that purpose. Management stated their intention to continue to pay the $0.41 per share dividend because they believe there is visibility to dividend coverage as they begin to originate new assets at higher spreads. This is the environment that SLRC has been waiting for, and has been the principal reason for maintaining an under-leveraged posture for the last several years, Alexander noted.With dividend coverage visible ahead, Alexander gives SLRC a Buy rating. His price target, at $17.75, indicates confidence in a 12% upside potential.This is another stock with a unanimous Strong Buy consensus rating. SLRC is sitting pretty with 5 positive reviews on record. The average price target is $18.20, representing a ~15% upside from the current share price of $15.86. (See SLRC stock analysis on TipRanks)First Hawaiian (FHB)Our last stock today, First Hawaiian, is the holding company owning the First Hawaiian Bank. First Hawaiian offers the usual array of banking services to retail and commercial customers, with 53 branches throughout the Hawaiian Islands along with three others in Guam and two on Saipan. Banking services include loans, deposit accounts, credit and debit cards, mortgages, insurance, and retirement plans.The recently ended second-quarter showed some mixed results. Top line revenues showed a sequential slip, from $164 million to $152 million, but that was mild compared to the 46% drop in earnings. EPS for Q2 came in at 16 cents, on $20 million in net income. Bright spots for the quarter were total loans, which grew 3% to $383 million, and deposit balances, which increased 13% sequentially to reach $2.3 billion. The banks total assets at the end of 2Q20 were $23 billion, up 10% from the end of the first quarter.That is the background behind managements July dividend declaration. The company Board approved a 26-cent regular quarterly dividend, which was paid out in early September. At $1.04 annualized, this dividend yields 7.2%, putting it well above the average yield and far higher than the current yield on Treasury bonds. FHB has a 4-year history of reliable dividend payments, and the current declaration marks the seventh quarter in a row at the current level.Compass Point analyst Laurie Havener Hunsicker believes a macro look at FHB justifies a bullish stance. FHB was a clear outperformer on credit during the last crisis. While past results do not dictate future performance, we are impressed with the FHB management team and their credit culture; further, we believe that FHB is well-postured to again outperform on credit during the COVID-19 crisis, the analyst noted.In line with her comments, Hunsicker rates FHB a Buy and sets a $21 price target that suggests room for a robust share appreciation of 46% over the next year.

Astonishing growth in Precision Medicine Software Market is expected to grow at CAGR 12.3% from 2019 to 2027 - Crypto Daily

Americans encounter some form of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in nearly every aspect of daily life: We accept Netflixs recommendations on what movie we should stream next, enjoy Spotifys curated playlists and take a detour when Waze tells us we can shave eight minutes off of our commute.

And it turns out that were fairly comfortable with this new normal: A survey released last year by Innovative Technology Solutions found that, on a scale of 1 to 10, Americans give their GPS systems an 8.1 trust and satisfaction score, followed closely by a 7.5 for TV and movie streaming services.

But when it comes to higher stakes, were not so trusting. When asked about whether they trust an AI doctor diagnosing or treating a medical issue, respondents scored it just a 5.4.

CMS Doubles Down on CAHPS and Raises the Bar on Member Experience

A new CMS final rule will double the impact of CAHPS and member experience on a Medicare plans overall Star Rating. Learn more and discover how to exceed member expectations and improve Star Ratings in this new whitepaper.

Overall skepticism about medical AI and ML is nothing new. In 2012, we were told that IBMs AI-powered Watson was being trained to recommend treatments for cancer patients. There were claims that the advanced technology could make medicine personalized and tailored to millions of people living with cancer. But in 2018, reports surfaced that indicated the research and technology had fallen short of expectations, leaving users to speculate the accuracy of Watsons predictive analytics.

RELATED:Investors poured $4B into healthcare AI startups in 2019

Patients have been reluctant to trust medical AI and ML out of fear that the technology would not offer a unique or personalized recommendation based on individual needs. A piece in Harvard Business Review in 2019 referenced a survey in which 200 business students were asked to take a free health assessment to perform a diagnosis40% of students signed up for the assessment when told their doctor would perform the diagnosis, while only 26% signed up when told a computer would perform the diagnosis.

These concerns are not without basis. Many of the AI and ML approaches that are being used in healthcare todaydue to simplicity and ease of implementationstrive for performance at the population-level by fitting to the characteristics most common among patients. They look to do well in the general case, failing to serve large groups of patients and individuals with unique health needs. However, this limitation of how AI and ML is being applied is not a limitation of the technology.

If anything, what makes AI and ML exceptionalif done rightis its ability to process huge sets of data comprising a diversity of patients, providers, diseases and outcomes and model the fine-grained trends that could potentially have a lasting impact on a patients diagnosis or treatment options. This ability to use data in the large for representative populations and to obtain inferences in the small for individual-level decision support is the promise of AI and ML. The whole process might sound impersonal or cookie-cutter, but the reality is that the advancements in precision medicine and delivery will make care decisions more data-driven and thus more exact.

Consider a patient choosing a specialist. Its anything but data-driven: Theyll search for a provider in-network or maybe one that is conveniently located, without understanding potential health outcomes as a result of their choice. The issue is that patients lack the proper data and information they need to make these informed choices.

RELATED:The unexpected ways AI is impacting the delivery of care, including for COVID-19

Thats where machine intelligence comes into playan AI/ML model that is able to accurately predict the right treatment, at the right time, by the right provider for a patient, which could drastically help reduce the rate of hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

As an example, research published last month in AJMC looked at claims data from 2 million Medicare beneficiaries between 2017 and 2019 to evaluate the utility of ML in the management of severe respiratory infections in community and post-acute settings. The researchers found that machine intelligence for precision navigation could be used to mitigate infection rates in the post-acute care setting.

Specifically, at-risk individuals who received care at skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that the technology predicted would be the best choice for them had a relative reduction of 37% for emergent care and 36% for inpatient hospitalizations due to respiratory infections compared to those who received care at non-recommended SNFs.

This advanced technology has the ability to comb through and analyze an individuals treatment needs and medical history so that the most accurate recommendations can be made based on that individuals personalized needs and the doctors or facilities available to them. In turn, matching a patient to the optimal provider has the ability to drastically improve health outcomes while also lowering the cost of care.

We now have the technology where we can use machine intelligence to optimize some of the most important decisions in healthcare. The data show results we can trust.

USA Equities Corp. (USAQ), Announces its Application to Up-list to the OTCQB - GlobeNewswire

Sept. 29, 2020 11:00 UTC

RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aclipse Therapeutics, a private Pennsylvania biopharmaceutical company, was awarded an AUD 1 million (approximately US $720,000) drug development research grant from FightMND, the largest independent funder of ALS research in Australia. The grant will support the translational development of M102, a drug candidate for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease. M102 showed promise to stop and reverse ALS disease progression, as evidenced by data in preclinical models. Currently, there is no cure for ALS and no effective treatments to halt or reverse the progression of this devastating disease.

We are very excited for ALS/MND patients, as FightMND is supporting our effort to advance this important therapy, which looks so promising in preclinical models, into clinical trials for our patients, said Professor Dame Pamela Shaw MD, a primary contributor to M102s development program. Professor Shaw is Professor of Neurology and the Director of the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) at the University of Sheffield (UK). Professor Shaw and her SITraN colleagues Dr. Richard Mead and Dr. Laura Ferraiuolo have led the key ALS/MND biology research and drug discovery of M102, as a fruition of their commitment and dedication to push the frontiers of science in ALS/MND for the benefit of patients over the last 20 years.

The FightMND grant will progress M102 into first-in-human trials. M102 is a disease-modifying drug candidate for ALS that activates NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and HSF1 (Heat shock factor 1) signaling pathways, recently understood and important disease pathways in ALS. Aclipse is taking a multiple biological pathway, multiple disease mechanism approach to ALS. M102 is expected to be mechanistically superior to currently available drugs and may lead to significant slowing and reversal of disease progression in both familial and sporadic ALS. The FightMND grant will also support the development of patient stratification biomarkers that will be applied in the M102 clinical studies, and potentially enable a personalized medicine approach which is capable of identifying M102 responders vs. non-responders in the ALS patient population, and thus enriching M102s clinical trial patient population.

FightMND is excited about the prospects of this potential treatment. M102 has shown promise as an effective new treatment for ALS/MND patients, said Dr Bec Sheean, PhD, Research Director at FightMND. We are delighted to be supporting the development of M102, which has the potential to be a disease-modifying drug that improves on current standard-of-cares that only minimally delay disease progression for most MND patients.

We are honored by the support from FightMND which shares our vision for a novel and broad multi-disease pathomechanism approach to treating ALS patients, said Raymond K. Houck, CEO of Aclipse Therapeutics. He continued, The FightMND award also confirms M102s success to date and validates M102s potential for a precision medicine approach for the treatment of ALS.

About ALS/MND

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons (nerve cells) in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS/MND lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. There is no cure and limited life-prolonging treatments for the disease. Based on Australian population studies, more than 2,000 people are currently fighting ALS/MND in Australia: 60% male and 40% female. In 2013, ALS/MND accounted for 1 in 200 deaths in Australia. Based on U.S. population studies, approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS/MND each year and as many as 20,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. ALS/MND patients exist on all populated continents.

About FightMND

Founded in 2014, FightMND was established in Australia with the purpose of finding effective treatments and ultimately a cure for motor neuron disease (MND), also referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease. FightMND, with its vision of a world without MND, is the largest independent funder of MND research in Australia. What FightMND has done since 2014, is be the voice and the guiding star for Australians who want to fight "The Beast". Integral to this vision is the determination to help facilitate the translation of the growing body of new knowledge about the disease into a cure for MND patients in Australia and abroad. For more information about FightMND, visit the website at https://fightmnd.org.au.

About Aclipse Therapeutics

Late-stage interventional trials will evaluate personalized approaches to existing care and novel targeted therapies

PALO ALTO, Calif.(BUSINESS WIRE)Endpoint Health, the first targeted therapeutics company focused on integrated solutions for critical illnesses, today announced a new strategic partnership with Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to create the first precision medicine clinical trial network focused on late-stage clinical trials in critical illness. The network will combine leading critical illness researchers, trialists and premier medical centers from across the country to create a sustained system for conducting phase II and III interventional trials intended to validate precision medicine technologies, therapies, and deployable patient-centric care approaches. It will prioritize trials investigating promising precision-driven interventions to prevent or treat critical illnesses such as sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which are the most expensive conditions to treat in the hospital setting and are associated with half of U.S. hospital mortality.

Endpoint Health envisions a future where clinicians are empowered with an array of targeted therapies and personalized approaches to improve the outcomes of their sickest patients, said Jason Springs, co-founder and CEO of Endpoint Health. Our partnership with VUMC will establish a foundational piece of the ecosystem necessary to make this vision real for the critical care community.

VUMC will serve as the trial network coordinating center with Endpoint Health providing the underlying technology that leverages digital and molecular patient data to predict likely therapeutic response. The goal of the network is to conduct an ongoing series of trials that study multiple precision-driven interventions to treat or prevent critical illness. Endpoints technology is already being piloted in a phase II randomized controlled trial at VUMC, which started enrolling patients this month. Endpoint will also sponsor the first precision interventional trial, which will evaluate one of the companys investigational products.

Precision medicine in critical care has long been a goal that healthcare has struggled to attain due to the complex and fast-moving nature of critical illnesses, said Dr. Todd Rice, Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at VUMC. Our partnership with Endpoint Health will help turn that vision into a reality. Together, we are building the infrastructure needed to run efficient and effective precision clinical trials that use advanced technologies to guide patient enrollment and treatment selection that ultimately improve patient outcomes.

COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the need for better, more personalized care that addresses critically ill patients in both the ED and ICU, said Dr. Wesley Self, Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine at VUMC. Our ability to validate new treatments in a manner that can be translated into actual clinical practice quickly and effectively is an essential step to bringing life-saving targeted therapies to some of the sickest patients. This is an exciting development for the medical community, and ultimately patients, as it will facilitate significant new research and therapy discovery opportunities.

Edward Chu, MD, MMS, discusses the role of pembrolizumab in patients with mismatch repair deficient or microsatellite instabilityhigh metastatic colorectal cancer.

Edward Chu, MD, MMS, director and professor of medicine and molecular pharmacology at Albert Einstein Cancer Center, and vice president for cancer medicine at Montefiore Medicine, discusses the role of pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instabilityhigh (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

The phase 3 MK-3475-177/KEYNOTE-177 trial demonstrated a significantly improved overall response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival with pembrolizumab versus investigators choice of standard-of-care chemotherapy, says Chu. Moreover, pembrolizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile compared with chemotherapy.

On June 29, 2020, the FDA approved pembrolizumab as a first-line therapy for patients with unresectable dMMR or MSI-H mCRC based on results from the KEYNOTE-177 study. The regimen should now be considered a standard of care for this patient population, Chu adds.

Notably, patients with dMMR or MSI-H mCRC account for about 5% of the overall mCRC population.Although the subset is small, the activity of pembrolizumab in this space confirms the need for precision medicine and personalized therapeutic approaches for patients with CRC, concludes Chu.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progenity, Inc. (Nasdaq: PROG), a biotechnology company with an established track record of success in developing and commercializing molecular testing products, today announced support for the Preeclampsia Foundations recent call to action advocating for accelerating the development and clinical adoption of biomarker tests for the diagnosis of preeclampsia, a life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. The foundation issued its call to action urging the life science community and policy makers to accelerate the development and adoption of biomarker-based testing for preeclampsia.

We support the Preeclampsia Foundation both in their mission and in their call for accurate testing for preeclampsia, said Harry Stylli, PhD, CEO, chairman of the board, and co-founder of Progenity. The need is urgent because, while preeclampsia rates are continuing to rise, healthcare providers today are still evaluating symptoms and risk using technology from the late 1800s. We are demonstrating our commitment to this cause by investing in the development of a biomarker-based test that is currently in an advanced stage of development. This test, which is potentially the first of its kind, could bring more personalized care to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia occurs in 5 to 8% of pregnancies and is a leading cause of preterm birth and maternal and infant death. A progressive condition that can occur during the third trimester of pregnancy, preeclampsia is typically characterized by elevated blood pressure, edema (swelling in hands or face), and protein in the urine. The cause of preeclampsia is not fully understood and involves multiple pathophysiologic pathways. It is estimated that over 700,000 pregnant women in the United States experience signs or symptoms that could be attributed to preeclampsia each year, but symptoms can be difficult to differentiate from those of other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Healthcare providers in the United States are primarily equipped with non-specific tools developed over 100 years ago to diagnose this potentially deadly condition.

Progenity is currently developing a novel biomarker blood test designed to rule out preeclampsia in symptomatic women during the third trimester. This objective risk assessment tool is designed to help healthcare providers differentiate between preeclampsia and other, lower-risk hypertensive disorders. By identifying patients who are not at risk for developing preeclampsia, the test could enable healthcare providers to better guide patient care and maintain pregnancies to term when possible. This will potentially lead to fewer unnecessary hospitalizations and preterm deliveries in this patient population, while providing added reassurance for patients.

To lend support to the Preeclampsia Foundations call to action, clinicians, researchers and patients are encouraged to sign their petition for change.

BCMA-directed therapies, such as bispecific monoclonal antibodies, CAR T-cell therapy, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), are in the midst of transforming the treatment paradigm of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma to get closer to a cure for patients, said David H. Vesole, MD, PhD.

We keep striving for a cure. Right now, we have the option to make this a chronic disease in the same way high blood pressure or diabetes [are chronic diseases]. We didnt have that option when I started. We can control a patients disease for an unbelievably extended period of time. Even if we dont cure patients, we can make it a chronic disease, said Vesole. This is exciting for patients and their families. most of these therapies can be given with the prolongation of life, without negatively impacting QOL a great deal.

In an interview with OncLive, Vesole, director of the Myeloma Program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, professor of medicine at Georgetown University, co-director of the Myeloma Division and director of Myeloma Research at John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, discussed the evolution of multiple myeloma treatment, and explained how other BCMA-therapies are poised to impact clinical practice.

OncLive: What makes BCMA a logical target in multiple myeloma?

Vesole: All patients with multiple myeloma are BCMA positive. BCMA stands for B-cell maturation agent, and all myeloma cells have some expression of BCMA on their cell surface. The extent of BCMA positivity may be higher or lower for individual patients, but because they are all positive, BCMA serves as a very efficient target for BCMA-directed therapies.

How has the treatment of multiple myeloma evolved?

Ive been caring for patients with multiple myeloma for over 30 years, and treatments have evolved tremendously over the years. Back in the day, all of our drugs were chemotherapies, which have a lot of bystander effects and can cause nausea and vomiting.

It wasnt until proteasome inhibitors (PIs), which were enzyme-specific pathway inhibitors that were first approved in 2003, that we started [using] targeted therapies for specific pathways and cells. These [agents] had significantly fewer bystander effects on normal cells. Therefore, since 2003, [multiple drugs have been] approved for the treatment of myeloma. Most of the [newer treatments] are more sensitive and specific to myeloma cells with much less bystander effect. They are tolerated better and their efficacy is better than conventional chemotherapy.

Over the course of the past few years, we found that giving combination therapies with multiple mechanisms of action results in superior activity, such that triplets appear to be the standard of care for newly diagnosed patients. [These triplets] are based on different categories of drugs such as PIs, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), and corticosteroids. Many trials have looked at triplets versus doublets, and essentially all of them show that triplets are superior to doublets in the frontline and relapsed/refractory settings.

Currently, triplet therapy seems to be the standard of care, but what is evolving is whether we should give quadruplet regimens with monoclonal antibodies in addition to those same 3 classes of drugs I mentioned. Emerging data indicate that [quadruplets] are even more efficacious without a significant increase in toxicity. Although they are not currently the standard of care, I anticipate within the next 5 years that they will become the standard of care potentially up front, as well as in the relapsed/refractory settings for patients with multiple myeloma.

It is exciting to know that we have these monoclonal antibodies, which target specific surface components of myeloma cells. They [cause] very few bystander effects on other cells in the body. Although [these agents] are not completely devoid of other toxicities, they focus predominantly on myeloma cells.

[Historically], we would see, at most, a 20% likelihood of achieving a complete remission (CR). Now, we are approaching potentially achieving CRs in 80% or more of patients depending on the regimen that we utilize. Overall survival (OS) [rates] have improved as well [compared with] when I first started more than 30 years ago. Currently, patients with stage I disease have a life expectancy that exceeds 10 to 15 years versus 2.5 years [when I first started].

What challenges remain with regard to treatment in multiple myeloma?

The biggest hurdle that we still have in multiple myeloma is [treating] patients with high-risk disease based on [their] cytogenetics and staging. Weve certainly made major headway, but their OS remains in the 4- to 6-year range, which is much lower than what we see with those patients who do not have adverse cytogenetic features.

Belantamab mafodotin-blmf (Blenrep) received regulatory approval in August 2020. How does this agent compare with others in the space?

The first BCMA-directed therapy that has been FDA approved is belantamab mafodotin. It is an ADC where the antibody is directed against BCMA and is conjugated to a chemotherapy drug. Biologically, the monoclonal antibody attaches to the myeloma cell, which is endocytosed into the cell. Then, lysozymes break down the link between the chemotherapy drug and the antibody, which allows the chemotherapy drug to kill the cell [from within]. Other diseases have ADCs as well, but [belantamab mafodotin] is the first approved in multiple myeloma.

For patients who respond [to belantamab mafodotin], the duration of response exceeds 11 months. This is quite impressive for a group of patients whose lifespan would be shorter than patients who have not received 4 prior lines of therapy. This opens up a wide avenue of patients with multiple myeloma who may have exhausted all other potential treatments.

The drug does not [elicit] an overly robust response rate as a single agent. [The rates are] about 30% to 35% depending on which DREAMM study you look at. As a single agent, belantamab mafodotin is currently approved for patients who have been heavily pretreated with 4 or more prior lines of therapywhich is a lot of chemotherapy.

Could you describe the unique safety profile of belantamab mafodotin?

Yes, there are some bystander effects with [belantamab mafodotin]. From a hematologic standpoint, it can lower white [blood cell] counts and platelet counts, but that is usually not a major consequence.

However, for reasons that we do not know, [belantamab mafodotin] can cause problems with the eye, [namely] keratopathy. In the vast majority of patients, this is very minor and presents as blurred vision or dry, scratchy eyes. Although this occurs in about 80% of patients treated with the drug, severe reactions occur in about 10% of patients. To the best of my knowledge, most of these abnormalities are completely reversible with time. The time sequence of the reversibility depends on how severe [the toxicity] is. There is a grading system from 1 to 4 with regard to how involved the ophthalmologic abnormalities are.

Before each dose of [belantamab mafodotin], which is administered every 3 weeks, patients have to be seen by an ophthalmologist or optometrist to be cleared before receiving the next dose of therapy. If a patient meets certain grades of severity, the drug is either dose reduced or held.

Although this is the first approved [BCMA-directed] drug, there are a lot of other therapies directed against BCMA that have different toxicity profiles than belantamab mafodotin.

Selinexor (Xpovio) is another drug that was recently approved for patients who have had 4 prior lines of therapy. Selinexor is an [oral] pill given once or twice a week, depending on the schedule. It is not a BCMA-directed agent. Instead, selinexor is directed against a specific mechanism in the nucleus of the myeloma cells [called XPO1]. Selinexor has a completely different toxicity profile; gastrointestinal toxicities are mainly seen with this agent.

The FDA approval of belantamab mafodotin was based on data from the DREAMM-2 trial. How has the DREAMM series evolved since the approval?

The DREAMM-1 study essentially [evaluated whether] belantamab mafodotin had any activity [in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma]. DREAMM-2 is the phase 2 trial that led to the FDA approval for the drug. DREAMM-3 through DREAMM-16 [are trials] that are evaluating a variety of other agents to be added to belantamab mafodotin. Additionally, DREAMM-12 and DREAMM-13 are evaluating belantamab mafodotin in patients with renal failure and liver abnormalities, [respectively].

Essentially, [the trials] are taking all the known drugs that we currently use to treat patients with multiple myeloma and adding them to belantamab mafodotin in some form. The DREAMM series is an ongoing effort to improve the outcome of single-agent belantamab mafodotin. DREAMM-6 was presented at [the 2020 ASCO Virtual Scientific Program] in June, showing response rates north of 30% with the addition of bortezomib (Velcade), [which is] far superior [than what weve seen with belantamab mafodotin alone]. When we combine belantamab mafodotin with other active agents with different mechanisms of action, we can see superior response rates and remission durations.

How do you approach sequencing in your own practice? Where does belantamab mafodotin fit into the paradigm?

Although quadruplets are quite effective up front, they are not FDA approved at this point in time. We are not sure if they will be covered by third-party carriers. Therefore, we generally use triplet regimens for initial therapy.

Our group is heavily biased toward stem cell transplants, which is considered standard of care throughout the world. For patients who have multiple myeloma and adequate physiologic organ function, and agree to [undergo] transplant, transplant is considered standard. We would give a triplet regimen, followed by transplant. Our group is a bit unique because we are not particularly in favor of maintenance therapy. On average, patients stay in remission for 2.5 to 5 years. Then we come back with salvage therapy, usually with triplet regimens, of which there are a number approved by the FDA for patients who have had 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.

Belantamab mafodotin was approved in kind of a niche sense in that it is approved for patients who had 4 prior lines of therapy. [The FDA] doesnt specify lines of therapies, so it is an interpretation of what that means. The agent was only tested in patients who had 4 or more lines of therapy. It is a little bit confusing because, in theory, we could use [belantamab mafodotin] in the second- or third-line settings.

There will likely be a lot of competing options for BCMA-directed therapy. CAR T-cell therapy is likely going to be approved sometime in the first quarter of 2021. Two companies are neck-and-neck with the FDA submission for CAR T-cell therapy approval. [Both] are BCMA-directed therapies.

Bispecific antibodies are a little bit further away from receiving regulatory approval, but are also BCMA-directed therapies.

There will certainly be a lot of competition for belantamab mafodotin in this niche [setting of patients who received at least 4 prior therapies]. These other agents have different toxicities profiles and different response rates. Similar to the DREAMM studies, these agents are being combined with many of the standard therapies that we currently use. We are going to have a whole list of additional options with these BCMA-directed therapies in the very near future.

Where would you like to see future research efforts focused?

Right now, belantamab mafodotin is being given as a single agent. We are not going to control multiple myeloma with single agents. We need combination therapies that have different mechanisms of action. That is ultimately going to be the goal of treatment.

The future is going to have personalized medicine. There is a trial by the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium that is using standard therapies and then doing next-generation sequencing to find out if there are specific gene mutations for which specific drugs can be directed toward. The investigators are giving individual drugs, based on the patients DNA sequencing, that will attack specific abnormalities.

Ultimately, this is what is going to happen. We are going to be individualizing precision medicine and treating patients specific DNA abnormalities in their myeloma cells.

Yes, we could have a BCMA-directed target, but if we add that with a targeted agent against some specific enzyme deficiency or genetic abnormality, it [will be a valuable] addition to these other mechanisms. I imagine that in the future, patients are going to get 4 or 5 different drugs, some specific to enzyme pathways, others specific to their individual DNA sequencing. That is, in addition to targets that are widely expressed on the myeloma cells themselves such as BCMA.

How do you see CAR T-cell therapy impacting the landscape of multiple myeloma?

CAR T-cell therapy is an exciting area now. CAR T cells are patients own lymphocytes that are genetically modified to improve their activity in targeting their own myeloma cells. Unlike belantamab mafodotin, which, as we mentioned, needs to be combined with other agents to improve efficacy, CAR T-cell therapy alone has a response rate of 75% to 100%.

Further, CAR T-cell therapy is [a] one-and-done [approach]. Patients get CAR T cells on day 1 and they may not need therapy for 1 or 2 years, perhaps longer. All the other BCMA-directed therapies require continuous and indefinite therapy until they no longer work. With CAR T cells, patients get their therapy, get their response, and may not require treatment for an extended period of time. Ultimately, this will result in superior quality of life (QOL) for those patients who are going to get continuous therapy.

The CAR T-cell technology continues to improve. There are probably over 30 different companies that are trying to [manufacture] CAR T cells in multiple myeloma. The vast majority of them are using BCMA as the target, but that is not the only target that is available.

Right now, CAR T cells are predominantly made using a patients own cells, which takes 2 to 4 weeks to generate, genetically modified, and engineered before being returned to the patient. In the future, there will also be what we call off-the-shelf CAR T cells that are made in a laboratory and can be given the day after ordering them. Studies evaluating these allogeneic

CAR T cells are just beginning, but they could save a lot of time. Some patients cannot generate good CAR T cells if they have been heavily pretreated or if they dont generate the number of cells needed for the infusion. Allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy opens [the option] up for those patients, as well as for the patients who need treatment sooner rather than later; some patients cannot wait 2 to 4 weeks for the cells to be generated.

To me, this is the most exciting area because it is a one-and-done [approach] versus continued therapy. CAR T-cell therapy can cause toxicities, but in contrast to lymphoma and leukemia, most of them are minor in multiple myeloma. [Moreover,] there is at most a 10-day window in which these abnormalities occur, after which patients are essentially home free for the duration of time the cells are effective.

Monoclonal Antibodies, ADCs, and CAR T Cells Invigorate the Myeloma Paradigm - OncLive

Nearly five months after snagging a conditional approval for its spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) gene therapy in Europe, Novartis is rolling out fresh data to support a launch that has seen its share of challenges.

The company unveiled interim data from a phase 3 trial of the gene therapy in babies born with the genetic disease. Of the 33 patients treated so far in the European trial, 21 had achieved milestones in motor skills during a mean follow-up period of 10.6 months that the disease would normally prevent, the company said. For example, six could sit without assistance for more than 10 seconds and 20 could control their head movements.

Most of the children in the study who entered it without requiring ventilation remained free of ventilatorsupport, and 67% were able to eat without help, Novartis said during the World Muscle Society 2020 Virtual Congress. Most of the children received a higher score on a widely used test of neuromuscular functioning than untreated SMA patients typically do, the company added.

Developing COVID-19 vaccines may not be enough: Turning vaccines into vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccines are being developed at a breakneck pace, but a broken supply chain could derail that momentum. What are the steps needed to help ensure the medical supply chain is up to the task?

Shephard Mpofu, M.D., chief medical officer of Novartis Gene Therapies, said in a statement that the data boosts previous clinical trial results supporting the use of Zolgensma in patients with type 1 SMA, the most common form of the disease. With more than 600 patients now treated, including some more than five years post-treatment and more than five years old, these data further reinforce the transformative benefit a one-time dose of Zolgensma has on SMA patients, Mpofu said.

RELATED: New Zolgensma 'inflection point' is here as Novartis snags EU nod for SMA gene therapy

Novartis effort to win approval for Zolgensma in Europe ran into one hurdle back in April 2019, when an infant in the trial died of brain damage and respiratory issues. An autopsy later revealed that the death was unrelated to Zolgensma.

But then, in October of last year, Novartis was hit with questions from regulators in Europe and Japan about the Zolgensma manufacturing process. Resolving the queries from the EU required inspections, and it pushed back thedecision from the EUs Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP).

Now that Zolgensma is finally approved in Europe, though, Novartis has an opportunity to steal market share from Biogens SMA drug Spinraza. Thats because the European approval allows the Zolgensma to be used in children weighing up to 21 kilograms, which basically covers any child under the age of 5.

Thats a significant difference from the FDA approval, which only covers children under 2 years of ageand it could allow Novartis to offer its therapy to older children currently taking Spinraza.

RELATED: Roche touts 2-year Evrysdi data as oral SMA drug drives early interest

Novartis has an ambitious expansion plan for Zolgensma in the U.S., too, though that has hit some obstacles recently. Its working on a new intrathecal formulation of the drug, in the hopes that the FDA will approve that version for children up to 5 years old. But last week, the company said the FDA will require it to run a phase 3 study of the intrathecal formulation, rather than considering it for approval based on a smaller phase 1/2 trial. That could push the filing to 2023.

Analysts deemed the FDAs decision a major setback. Jefferies analysts had estimated the gene therapy would peak at $2.8 billion in worldwide sales, with the intrathecal version claiming $1 billion of that.

Meanwhile, Novartis is facing potential competition from more than just Spinraza. Roche introduced an oral drug for SMA, Evrysdi, last month. And it just revealed new data from a pivotal trial of that drug that intensify Novartis marketing challenge.

In the Evrysdi study, 88% of infants with type 1 SMA were alive without needing full-time ventilation after two years. Their motor functioning also improved in the second year, with more patients able to sit, stand, turn over or maintain head control.

Novartis cites 'transformative' data on Zolgensma as it rolls out SMA gene therapy in Europe - FiercePharma

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ: BMRN), a pioneer in developing treatments for phenylketonuria (PKU) and gene therapies, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation toBMN 307, an investigational gene therapy for the treatment of individuals with PKU.

Fast Track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fulfill an unmet medical need, enabling drugs to reach patients earlier. Clinical programs with Fast Track designation may benefit from early and frequent communication with the FDA throughout the regulatory review process. These clinical programs may also be eligible to apply for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review if relevant criteria are met, as well as Rolling Review, which means that completed sections of the Biologic License Application can be submitted for review before the entire FDA application is complete. Both the FDA and European Medicines Agency have granted BMN 307 Orphan Drug Designation.

"Fast Track designation combined with our ability to conduct our clinical studies incorporating material manufactured using a commercial-ready process will further facilitate rapid clinical development of BMN 307 gene therapy," said Hank Fuchs, M.D., President, Worldwide Research and Development at BioMarin. "We are looking forward to working closely with the FDA, as well as other health agencies, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this promising investigational gene therapy as we continue our unwavering 15-year commitment to advance the standard of care for people with PKU."

PKU is a rare genetic disease that manifests at birth and is marked by an inability to break down Phe, an amino acid that is commonly found in many foods. Left untreated, high levels of Phe become toxic to the brain and may lead to serious neurological and neuropsychological issues, affecting a person's ability to think and problem solve, and can lead to depression, anxiety, and behavior disturbance impacting quality of life. Due to the seriousness of these symptoms, in many countries, infants are screened at birth to ensure early diagnosis and treatment to avoid intellectual disability and other complications. According to treatment guidelines, PKU patients should maintain lifelong control of their Phe levels.

BMN 307 Clinical Program

Last week, BioMarin announced that it had dosed the first participant in the global Phearless Phase 1/2 study with BMN 307, an AAV5-phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene therapy designed to normalize blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentration levels in patients with PKU by inserting a correct copy of the PAH gene into liver cells. BMN 307 will be evaluated to determine safety and whether a single dose of treatment can restore natural Phe metabolism, increase plasma Phe levels, and enable a normalization of diet in patients with PKU.BioMarin is conducting this study with material manufactured with a commercial-ready process to facilitate rapid clinical development and potentially support approval. BMN 307 represents a potential third PKU treatment option in BioMarin's PKU franchise and a second gene therapy development program.

BioMarin's clinical program is composed of two key studies. Phearless, a Phase 1/2 study, will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of a single intravenous administration of BMN 307 in patients with PKU. The study consists of a dose-escalation phase, followed by a cohort expansion phase once an initially efficacious dose has been demonstrated. In addition, BioMarin is sponsoring an observational study, Phenom, which includes patients with PKU to measure both established and new markers of disease and clinical outcomes over time.

BioMarin's 15-Plus Year Commitment to PKU Research

For more than 15 years, BioMarin has been a pioneer in ongoing research to help improve the lives of PKU patients. BioMarin has developed therapies that have been used to treat approximately 7,000 PKU patients around the world. The company has two approved PKU therapies, and the investigational gene therapy BMN 307 is currently in development. BioMarin has conducted 41 clinical studies in PKU and has sponsored 44 external clinical studies. BioMarin researchers have authored 65 publications in medical and scientific journals on PKU and supported another 57 publications by external researchers.

About Gene Therapy

Gene therapy is a form of treatment designed to address a genetic problem by adding a normal copy of the defective gene. The functional gene is inserted into a vector containing a small DNA sequence that acts as a delivery mechanism, providing the ability to deliver the functional gene to targeted cells. The cells can then use the information from the normal gene to build the functional proteins that the body needs, potentially reducing or eliminating the cause of the disease.

Gene Therapy Manufacturing

BioMarin has leveraged its knowledge and experience in manufacturing complex biological products to design, construct and validate a state-of-the-art vector production facility in Novato, California. This facility is the site of production for both valoctocogene roxaparvovec and BMN 307, investigational gene therapies. Manufacturing capabilities are an essential driver for BioMarin's gene therapy programs and allows the Company to control quality, capacity, costs and scheduling enabling rapid development. Production of BMN 307 with a commercial ready process at scale reduces risk associated with making process changes later in development and may speed overall development timelines significantly.

Ongoing process development efforts and experience gained at commercial scale have led to improvements in productivity and operational efficiency. The ability to scale out the facility with additional equipment combined with the improvements in productivity result in a doubling of overall potential capacity to 10,000 doses per year, combined for both products, depending on final dose and product mix. This improvement in productivity is anticipated to meet potential commercial and clinical demand for both valoctocogene roxaparvovec and BMN 307 well into the future.

About Phenylketonuria

PKU, or phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency, is a genetic disorder affecting approximately 70,000 diagnosed patients in the regions of the world where BioMarin operates and is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme PAH. This enzyme is required for the metabolism of Phe, an essential amino acid found in most protein-containing foods. If the active enzyme is not present in sufficient quantities, Phe accumulates to abnormally high levels in the blood and becomes toxic to the brain, resulting in a variety of complications including severe intellectual disability, seizures, tremors, behavioral problems and psychiatric symptoms. As a result of newborn screening efforts implemented in the 1960s and early 1970s, virtually all individuals with PKU under the age of 40 in countries with newborn screening programs are diagnosed at birth and treatment is implemented soon after. PKU can be managed with a severe Phe-restricted diet, which is supplemented by low-protein modified foods and Phe-free medical foods; however, it is difficult for most patients to adhere to the life-long strict diet to the extent needed to achieve adequate control of blood Phe levels. Dietary control of Phe in childhood can prevent major developmental neurological toxicities, but poor control of Phe in adolescence and adulthood is associated with a range of neurocognitive disabilities with significant functional impact.

BioMarin, Pioneer in Phenylketonuria (PKU) and Gene Therapy, Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for PKU Investigational Gene Therapy, BMN 307 -...

Gene therapy is no longer an approach for the future. It's a technique used now.

As of January 2020, the FDA has approved four gene therapies for use in the United States and has received more than 900 investigational new drug (IND) applications for clinical studies. At present, more than 3,400 active gene therapy trials are taking place worldwide, according to ClinicalTrials.gov.

None of these trials would have launched without valid preclinical research. One of the key requirements during preclinical research is selection of the appropriate animal model.

Selecting animal models that reflect the population studied and reproduce the target disease state increases the likelihood that studies will meet strict regulatory expectations. Further, strong preclinical research, with accurate data and clinically relevant biomarkers, helps ensure that clinical trials get to the finish line on time and on budget.

"If you choose a too simplistic model or a model that does not accurately recapitulate the disease state you're trying to address, your preclinical data doesn't amount to much,"said Anjli Venkateswaran, PhD, spokesperson for Biomere, a preclinical CRO based in Worcester, Massachusetts. "Selection becomes even more important in gene therapy research, and it's something scientists grapple with daily."

Gene therapy researchers rely on animal models to assess variables such as safety, efficacy, dosage and localization of transgene expression. Traditional inbred and outbred mice the most common laboratory mice are suitable for most pharmaceutical research. However, when the goal is to alter a human genetic defect, scientists need to test their approach in models that contain the human target sequences. This led to the development of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of which there are many.

"Any mouse that is genetically changed or altered to be an appropriate model for disease falls under this umbrella,"Dr. Venkateswaran said. "These models express the gene target and recapitulate some, if not all, of the disease pathophysiology."

As animal model providers gain access to next-generation sequencing, genome-engineering tools and other technology, they can develop more customized models. "Older technology was based on homologous recombination,"said Tom Pack, PhD, senior scientist for Axovant, a New York City-based clinical-stage gene therapy company. "Now we've moved into an era of CRISPR-Cas9, where you have more efficient and sophisticated technology for manipulating DNA, and you can more closely mimic human mutations. You can also focus on specific organs or tissue types with DNA recombinase-based and intersectional genetics approaches to design more targeted therapies more rapidly."

For all the technological advances, certain studies may require a different type of model. "There are limitations as to how much you can humanize mice,"Dr. Venkateswaran said. "Also, mice behave very differently physiologically from humans, and they have a different blood-brain barrier, which can result in differences in gene therapy delivery to the brain. Because of their anatomical differences, large-animal models are emerging in gene therapy."

Large-animal models, including nonhuman primates, may suit certain studies more specifically than humanized mice. For example, pig models have been used effectively in cystic fibrosis studies because their respiratory is more similar to humans than mouse models.

However, large-animal models have limitations. They are more expensive than mouse models and require specialized scientists and technicians and adequate lab space. That's why Dr. Venkateswaran recommends that, generally, researchers should start small and move up.

"You need to get some confidence in your gene therapy's performance,"she said. "When data looks good in in vitro models and in mouse models, then, depending on the therapy, consider testing in relevant large animal models."

Axovant has two pediatric rare-disease studies in the pipeline: both fatal diseases with no other treatment options available. These delicate situations require Axovant to be especially thoughtful about model selection.

"You not only want to mimic the genetic condition, you want to be able to practice the same surgical techniques you would use to deliver the therapy as well as look at some of the same clinical biomarkers,"Dr. Pack said. "With a larger-animal model, you can optimize everything clinically before you start clinical trials."

To determine the appropriate animal model(s) for preclinical gene therapy studies, researchers must weigh both scientific and practical considerations.

Scientific considerations include:

Practical considerations include:

Gene therapy researchers have a lot to consider when designing preclinical research. Appropriate animal model selection is one of the first and most important steps to help move that research into clinical trials.

Fortunately, a select group of CROs have preclinical research expertise to help expedite the process. That includes access to complex genetically modified mouse models and other animal models, as well as scientific experts that understand the biology of these models. Many CROs, including Biomere, also have housing and breeding programs and experience with testing multiple types of therapies (CRISPR-mediated gene editing, AAV and other viruses, RNA therapeutics (RNAi andmiRNA), ceDNA, antisense oligos etc.).

"When you get it right in preclinical studies, you improve the success rate in the clinic,"Dr. Venkateswaran said. "A more thoughtful approach will lead to more robust therapies, which ultimately leads to more patient lives saved."
