PathAI Launches AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer, an Artificial Intelligence-Powered HER2 Scoring Algorithm for Biopharma Research and Clinical Labs

PathAI

PathAI, a leading provider of AI-powered pathology tools to advance precision medicine, today announced the availability of AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer [i] for research use by clinical laboratories, researchers, and drug developers. AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer delivers automated digital HER2 scoring and is the market’s first algorithm to use additive multiple instance learning (aMIL) heatmaps to visualize the slide features driving the algorithm’s predicted score. AIM-HER2 will be available to biopharma researchers and clinical research lab pathologists on PathAI’s AISight TM [i] digital pathology platform in both the clinical research lab and clinical trial setting. “HER2 IHC assays have provided immense impact to patients by allowing for a widely available test to establish drug eligibility,” said Mike Montalto, Chief Scientific Officer at PathAI. “With AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer, we at PathAI sought to build upon the success of HER2 testing by assisting pathologists in their ability to more confidently score HER2, especially in borderline cases that can be the most challenging and time consuming to review. We also look forward to partnering with drug developers who may be interested in enhancing the scoring of the more recently described HER2 low assay as an important emerging patient population.” In addition to predicting slide-level HER2 score, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer’s visualizations on AISight utilize additive multiple instance learning (aMIL) heatmaps to deliver a more interpretable and explainable prediction, diminishing the ‘black box’ challenges typically associated with understanding how AI predictions are made. “Our interpretable heatmaps are critical to driving utilization and adoption of AI – because it’s not about blind trust,” said Eric Walk, Chief Medical Officer at PathAI. “The results can be interpreted, explained – and confirmed – by humans. It also streamlines workflow as it allows pathologists to hone in on specific features to confirm the algorithm score and output vs. needing to analyze the entire slide.” AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer was developed using 157,000 tissue annotations and consensus scores on a dataset of over 4,000 slides (collected from more than 65 expert breast pathologists). In addition to slide-level HER2 scoring, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer quantifies invasive carcinoma and provides a comprehensive analysis of the entire WSI without necessitating manual selection of the region of interest (ROI).

UNOS Embraces Reform of the U.S. Donation and Transplant System

United Network for Organ Sharing

Ahead of today’s U.S. Senate Committee on Finance hearing on the nation’s organ donation and transplant system, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) reiterates its commitment to modernizing and reforming the nation’s organ donation and transplant system and working with Congress to achieve measurable results for patients. UNOS is the mission driven non-profit that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA). “As long as there is a waitlist, it is our moral obligation to ensure we are promoting progress and increasing equitable access to lifesaving transplants,” said UNOS CEO Maureen McBride, Ph.D. “Patients and families are counting on us to pursue improvements that increase transparency, strengthen accountability, and save more lives. We support calls for patient-focused improvements and want to be part of the solution.” The UNOS Action Agenda After being appointed interim CEO in October 2022, McBride immediately began to work on a series of proposed changes that were announced in January 2023 as the UNOS Action Agenda. The Action Agenda drives UNOS’ continued advocacy efforts and outlines critical reforms in eight different areas. These areas include patient empowerment, equity, IT improvement, transportation, transparency, and governance. Many of these reforms have been endorsed by federal partners, members of Congress, and the wider organ donation and transplant community. Numerous components of the UNOS Action Agenda align with HRSA’s Modernization Initiative announced in March 2023. “We are committed to working with HRSA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Congress and others who care about this system so deeply to assist in carrying out these reforms and to do our part to improve how we serve America’s organ donors, transplant patients and their families,” said McBride. In support of a competitive bidding process, UNOS publicly announced in June that it does not oppose the Senate’s Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Act, which would allow HRSA to increase competition for the management of the OPTN. Advancing Equity in Transplant UNOS’ Action Agenda includes calls to collect pre-waitlist data, an important change UNOS is advocating for with HRSA and Congress. Increases in transplant rates for minority patients are important and encouraging, but to eliminate inequities in access, more data is needed to understand and reduce inequities around which patients are added to the waiting list in the first place. “Equity in access to transplant begins well before a patient is added to the waitlist,” McBride says. “To address equity holistically, we also need to understand the barriers patients with end-stage organ failure face when it comes to being referred for transplant.” Maximizing The Gift Of Life While some Action Agenda proposals require collaboration with HRSA and the federal government, UNOS has advanced efforts to the extent of its authority since McBride became CEO. This includes work to improve the efficiency of the organ donation and transplant system. “Each organ donation represents a precious opportunity to save a life, and it is a tragic loss when a donor’s generosity does not result in another life saved,” said McBride. “We have been working on robust solutions to maximize the potential of donated organs by developing tools to make it easier for transplant hospitals to say ‘yes’ to an organ and by getting these organs to their destination more safely and quickly.” To address organ non-use – when an organ is recovered but not ultimately transplanted – UNOS and the OPTN have given transplant programs several tools to make it easier to say “yes” to an organ. At its June meeting, the OPTN Board of Directors approved the default use of offer filters for deceased donor kidney offers. These screening filters aim to speed up kidney acceptance rates and increase the number of transplants by sending time-sensitive organ offers automatically to programs most likely to accept organs with certain characteristics. Additionally, the OPTN recently launched a predictive analytics tool, and just concluded a national collaborative, aimed at improving organ acceptance rates at individual hospitals. To reduce the risk of delay and loss of organs traveling by commercial air, UNOS and the donation and transplant community advocated for and are supporting provisions in the next Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization that would enable the transportation of a donated organ in the passenger cabin instead of in the cargo hold of an airplane. Because of a post-9/11 change, organs are currently transported as cargo, which does not operate around the clock like the lifesaving organ donation system does. Provisions in both the House and Senate FAA reauthorization bills could possibly reverse that long-standing practice. “As CEO of UNOS, I have sought a new level of collaboration and engagement with members of the nation’s organ donation and transplant community, our federal partners and elected officials,” said McBride. “UNOS is an organization that has not only embraced, but proposed, substantive reforms, and I look forward to working together to create a system that works better for every patient in need.” About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.

Evgen Pharma CMO highlights "very aggressive" disease on Glioblastoma Awareness Day

Evgen Pharma PLC

Evgen Pharma PLC (AIM:EVG) chief medical officer Dr Glen Clack takes the opportunity presented by Glioblastoma Awareness Day to speak with Thomas Warner from Proactive about the disease, which is the most common type of malignant brain tumour in adults. Dr Clack describes glioblastoma as "always very aggressive" and one of the biggest killers of under-40s in the western world, partly because its "vague" symptoms make it difficult to diagnose. He says common symptoms are headaches, loss of appetite, loss of balance, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, personality and behaviour changes, problems with speaking and memory problems. There is currently no cure for the disease, but treatments are available to manage symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. He says around 250,000 new cases of glioblastoma are diagnosed each year worldwide. Evgen Pharma has been studying the effects of SFX-01 in treating glioblastoma and has seen promising results in preclinical models. The company aims to continue research and raise awareness for glioblastoma to support funding for a cure. Dr Clack encourages viewers to visit braintumourresearch.org for more information.

New Policy Aims to Speed Kidney Acceptance Rates, Increase Transplants

United Network for Organ Sharing

The OPTN Board of Directors unanimously approved a new policy, that will help more patients receive a lifesaving kidney transplant by getting the right organ to the right patient faster. United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the non-profit organization that contracts with the federal government to serve as the nation’s Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). The new policy will improve the use of the OPTN offer filter tool, allowing offers of donor kidneys to arrive quicker to transplant programs that are most likely to accept them. The OPTN Offer Filters tool, which has been available to all U.S. kidney transplant programs since 2022 as an “opt in” resource, allows transplant teams to filter out organ offers that they don’t intend to accept. This allows time-sensitive offers to automatically go to patients at programs that have a history of accepting more medically complex organs. Currently, 60% of kidney programs have at least one filter turned on. The new “opt out” policy passed by the OPTN Board will automatically turn on offer filters specific to each kidney transplant program, based on the program’s acceptance history. Transplant programs will have the option to use these filters, remove them and create their own filters. Due to the continuously increasing number of organs recovered, as well as the diverse acceptance practices across transplant programs, some organ offers are extended to programs that may have never considered organs with certain clinical or donor characteristics. The use of offer filters is one strategy to help Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) allocate in the most efficient manner, while ensuring that transplant programs only receive offers that they have a history of considering and would legitimately consider. “The ongoing development of the offer filter tool is driven not only by feedback from the donation and transplant community, but by our own firmly held belief that we can never be satisfied with the status quo,” said Maureen McBride, UNOS CEO. “This new policy and the impact it will have on patients waiting for the gift of life is a critical step in our never-ending effort to drive improvement and save more lives.” Default filters are the first phase in a potential transition to mandatory offer filters, which were recommended by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in its February 2022 report on the nation’s organ donation and transplantation system. The report identified offer acceptance as a “key area for improvement for transplant centers.” As the number of available organs continues to grow, so does the rate of organ non-use, particularly for kidneys, which are recovered before being accepted. By empowering transplant hospital staff with innovative new tools like offer filters and collaborative best practices, UNOS and the OPTN intend to maximize the potential of every donated organ and ultimately save more lives. Additional efforts to increase organ use Predictive Analytics utilizes waitlist and transplant candidate data at the time of a kidney offer to project when patients would receive additional offers, along with the patients’ likelihood of survival during that time without the initial offer. This information enables transplant teams to make informed decisions about the impacts of accepting or declining an organ offer. Transplant programs that participated in the predictive analytics pilot program demonstrated a 2.9 percentage point increase in offer acceptance compared to earlier. Transplant Vision (TxVx ), currently in early stages of development by UNOS Labs and a digital product development company, will leverage augmented reality technology to scan and digitally reconstruct recovered kidneys. This will help standardize high-quality organ imagery and other long-distance evaluation measurements, such as size and mass used by transplant center teams, to help determine whether to accept an organ offer. The Offer Acceptance Collaborative is an effort led by UNOS in its role as the OPTN. The collaborative has brought together transplant professionals from more than 80 adult and pediatric transplant programs to share effective practices and provide education on new data and analytical tools. Offer acceptance rates vary widely across the country. The collaborative seeks to bring together larger and small transplant programs from every region to learn from one another, improve organ offer evaluation and acceptance practices, and increase system efficiencies. Long-term results stemming from this work can help inform innovative solutions to organ non-use. By maximizing the utilization potential of each organ, we can increase the lifesaving impact that each deceased donor can make on the system. UNet Image Sharing is a digital platform developed by UNOS that allows organ procurement organizations (OPOs) to securely upload, view and share high-quality medical imaging studies with transplant hospitals. It is made available through UNet, the technology at the core of the donation and transplant system that powers patient registrations, donor referrals, organ matching and other essential functions used every day by transplant professionals. UNet Image Sharing was designed with community input that included a robust pilot program and is currently used by 79 percent of OPOs. It enables quicker, more confident decision-making by surgeons evaluating organ offers, which can increase organ acceptance rates and reduce inefficiencies during the organ allocation process. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the federal government. The OPTN helps create and define organ allocation and distribution policies that make the best use of donated organs. This process involves continuously evaluating new advances and discoveries so policies can be adapted to best serve patients waiting for transplants. All transplant programs and organ procurement organizations throughout the country are OPTN members and are obligated to follow the policies the OPTN creates for allocating organs.

SARS-CoV-2 Is Not Done Yet — Could This New Drug In Clinical Trials Be The Safest Option For Treating COVID-19?

NanoViricides, Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Read the latest report on NanoViricides here. SARS-CoV-2 is not done yet — Although it is not grabbing as many headlines, the number of deaths are still greater than even a pandemic influenza year at last count. The virus is still lurking, causing COVID and long COVID. Former White House COVID czar Ashish Jha has said “There is a temptation to say it's all over and we don't have to think about COVID anymore. The way I look at it is the virus can still surprise us.” We have learnt just to live with it, thanks to the immunity from vaccines and from the viral infection itself. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Even in vaccinated individuals, uncertainties remain about the duration of protection, the effectiveness of current vaccines and the efficacy of existing treatments for COVID-19 against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and subvariants.” Despite over 300 clinical trials, there are only three approved drugs that remain. Unfortunately, each of them has limitations. Current Approved Therapies Have Significant Limitations Remdesivir, from Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) has only received a conditional recommendation from the WHO for patients with severe COVID-19. Also, Remdesivir can only be administered as an infusion in a hospital, limiting the patient populations who can get access to the drug. Two other drugs, Molnupiravir by Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) and Paxlovid by Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) are both orally available. The WHO has issued a strong recommendation for Paxlovid, but only a conditional recommendation for Molnupivavir for patients with severe COVID-19 or non-severe COVID-19 at the highest risk of hospitalization. However, the WHO notes limitations to both of these drugs in its guidelines, and it also doesn’t advise certain populations to take these treatments on account of drug-to-drug interactions or other side effects. This indicates a need for a safer and more comprehensive treatment. A unique and novel drug that looks to fulfill this unmet medical need is NV-CoV-2, developed by NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC). NanoViricides recently announced it has begun clinical trials for NV-CoV-2, an innovative treatment for patients with COVID-19. NanoViricides is developing a novel nanomedicine platform of antiviral therapies, and its leading drug candidate is NV-CoV-2, which contains API NV-387. Dr. Anil Diwan, President and CEO of NanoViricides, described the drug as an exciting opportunity to fill an “as-yet-unmet medical need of a highly effective broad-spectrum, anti-coronavirus drug that can be used for all patient populations.” The drug has already demonstrated a robust safety profile in pre-clinical animal safety and tolerability evaluations, as well as showing itself to be non-immunogenic and non-mutagenic in standard tests. These data suggest a potentially exciting feature of NV-CoV-2 in its ability to treat all patient populations. Now with the trial beginning, its primary outcomes include: “To evaluate the safety and tolerability with the initial administration of NV-CoV-2 in healthy human subjects,” and “To find the maximum tolerated dose for the support of phase-2 clinical trials.” It employs NV-387, a first-in-class chemical nanomedicine with a novel mechanism of action called the “Re-Infection Blocker” designed to entirely eliminate the virus from the patient’s system. The drug will be trialed on patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, in the Phase 1b part of the clinical trial, though the company believes this could also be efficacious for patients with severe coronavirus and even for hospitalized cases. Note that NV-CoV-2 has been shown to be significantly more effective than Remdesivir in lethal lung infection models of human coronavirus NL-63 in rodents. Remdesivir is the only drug currently approved for hospitalized cases. There are multiple formulations of NV-CoV-2, including as an oral syrup and oral gummy, for outpatient use, which broadens the patient population that could take this treatment. An injectable formulation was also developed for hospitalized patients. NanoViricides believes that the safety and efficacy of this drug could make it a popular choice, as some of the more popular alternative COVID-19 treatments available are either less safe or are contra-indicated for several classes of patients. According to NanoViricides, this opens up a huge market for its drug, NV-CoV-2. As a broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drug with multiple formulations, it can be given to any patient group. Plus, its novel nanomedicine technology potentially makes it a highly effective treatment for COVID-19 as well as other coronaviruses. Learn more about how NanoViricides is tackling different viruses by visiting its website. About NanoViricides NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") (www.nanoviricides.com) is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company's novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Our lead drug candidate is NV-HHV-101 with its first indication as dermal topical cream for the treatment of shingles rash. In addition, we are developing a clinical candidate for the treatment of COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for this drug because of its dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants.The Company is now working on tasks for completing an IND application. The Company is currently pursuing two separate drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. NV-CoV-2 is our nanoviricide drug candidate that does not encapsulate Remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate that is made up of NV-CoV-2 with Remdesivir encapsulated in it. The Company believes that since Remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating Remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently.The Company intends to re-engage into an IND application to the US FDA for NV-HHV-101 drug candidate for the treatment of shingles once its COVID-19 project moves into clinical trials, based on resources availability. The NV-HHV-101 program was slowed down because of the effects of recent COVID-19 restrictions, and re-prioritization for COVID-19 drug development work.The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides' platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company's technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company's business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.
