Vivos Therapeutics CEO Kirk Huntsman Discusses FDA Approval and Market Disruptions

Vivos Therapeutics

Vivos Therapeutics CEO Kirk Huntsman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight certain significant favorable market developments creating new opportunities to widen its funnel of potential users of Vivos’ oral appliance therapies. This comes after the U.S. FDA granted, for the first time ever, a clearance to the Vivos CARE appliances to treat moderate and severe OSA in adults, (18 years of age and older) with positive airway pressure and/or myofunctional therapy, as needed. Huntsman highlighted several other factors contributing to the positive market conditions for Vivos. The recent discontinuation of many devices by Philips Respironics is expected to disrupt the supply chain, potentially affecting patient care. Additionally, the recalls of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices have left millions of OSA sufferers searching for alternative treatments. United Healthcare's recognition of oral appliance therapy as a prerequisite for surgical treatment in adult patients with moderate to severe OSA is another important development. These factors are collectively creating a significant opportunity for Vivos to expand its user base and offer effective treatment options to those in need.

Poolbeg Pharma says research confirms $10B plus opportunity for POLB 001 in cancer immunotherapies

Poolbeg Pharma PLC

Poolbeg Pharma Plc chief business officer David Allmond joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of independent research that confirms the massive market potential for Poolbeg's POLP 001 in cancer immunotherapies. This asset is being explored for its ability to potentially prevent or treat cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a significant side effect of cancer immunotherapies. With the cancer immunotherapy market expected to reach $140 billion by 2030, POLB 001 presents an over $10 billion opportunity if successful. Additionally, Allmond elaborated on Poolbeg's increasing emphasis on rare and orphan diseases, leveraging its ongoing programs in influenza with POLB 001, obesity, metabolic conditions, and AI-driven discovery for novel targets. The company is actively considering strategies to acquire near-stage commercial or in-market products in this high unmet need, limited competition sector. This approach aligns with Poolbeg's evolution towards a commercial-stage organization, aiming to generate revenue and continue its growth trajectory. Furthermore, Allmond explained how POLB 001 fits into the rare orphan disease space, given its potential applications in orphan cancers where immunotherapies have shown success. Poolbeg's strategic pivot towards rare and orphan diseases complements its existing portfolio, aiming for a dual-track growth strategy focusing on both its current programs and commercial opportunities in the rare and orphan disease market.
