Regenerative Medicine Technology Group (OTC: MSSV): Capitalizing on the Growth in Regenerative Medicine

MSSV

Regenerative medicine is a rapidly evolving field that presents exciting opportunities. This innovative sector focuses on developing treatments to heal tissues and organs, restoring function lost due to aging, disease, damage, or defects. Unlike traditional medicine, which often treats symptoms, regenerative medicine addresses the root causes by leveraging the body's natural repair mechanisms. Market Overview and Growth Potential The regenerative medicine market is experiencing remarkable growth, driven by advancements in biological therapies and a shift towards personalized medicine. The increasing rates of degenerative disorders are fueling research and the development of novel regenerative treatments. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.79% from 2024 to 2030, highlighting its significant potential for investors. Understanding Regenerative Medicine Regenerative medicine aims to enhance the body's self-healing capabilities to tackle conditions that traditional medicine struggles with, such as diabetes and heart disease.

This makes the regenerative medicine market a compelling area for investors looking to capitalize on cutting-edge advancements in medical science. One rising company in this field is Regenerative Medicine Technology Group (OTC: MSSV ). The company focuses on stem cell research, clinical applications, and treatment patenting. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Global Stem Cells Group, the company offers a wide range of products and services, including manufacturing clinical products, conducting cutting-edge stem cell research, and providing training for physicians. The company operates a network of 26 clinics in 21 countries, including its own clinic in Cancun and another under construction in Dubai. This extensive network allows MSSV to distribute stem cells, regenerative-based cell lines, and equipment internationally. By specializing in education and training, the company ensures that physicians are well-equipped with the latest advancements in regenerative medicine. Services and Partnerships Regenerative Medicine Technology Group (OTC: MSSV) leverages a multifaceted strategy to drive revenue growth in the burgeoning stem cell therapy market. Their key services and partnerships include: Certified Training Courses for Physicians: Providing specialized, certified training to equip physicians with the latest knowledge and skills in stem cell therapies, enhancing their expertise and capabilities. Manufacturing and Sales of Equipment and Supplies: Producing and selling advanced technology, supplies, and equipment for stem cell applications, ensuring medical professionals have access to state-of-the-art tools. Research and Development of Clinical Protocols: Investing in R&D to develop advanced clinical protocols for stem cell applications, improving the efficacy and safety of treatments.

Turnkey Stem Cell Processing Center Solutions: Offering comprehensive solutions for setting up and managing stem cell processing centers, providing a streamlined entry point for practitioners into the field. Conclusion Under the guidance of CEO Dave Christensen, who possesses over 30 years of experience in elevating companies, MSSV is taking meaningful steps forward.

Theriva Biologics Advances Its Product Pipeline To Improve Survival Rates For Many Difficult-To-Treat Cancers

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga According to Cancer Research UK, "Cancer survival has doubled in the last 40 years, but progress hasn’t been equal across all types of the disease." Their research shows that survival rates of some forms of brain tumors and pancreatic cancers have barely improved in that time. One company has made it its mission to change that. Theriva TM Biologics Has A Novel Approach To Address Difficult-To-Treat Cancers Theriva Biologics (AMEX: TOVX) is headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and its clinical research efforts span the Atlantic. Theriva is a leader in the development of oncolytic virus therapies – treating cancer with viruses that target tumors. The company recently announced positive results from one of its several ongoing clinical trials. Theriva’s oncolytic viruses are designed to address a wide range of difficult-to-treat tumor types. “Solid tumors are complex organ-like structures consisting of cancer cells, vasculature, and tumor matrix,” said Steven A. Shallcross, CEO of Theriva. He added that “this dense extracellular matrix, also known as stroma, hampers the intratumoral accessibility of chemotherapy, making them hard to treat.” And these are the challenges that Theriva seeks to address in a number of clinical trials. How Theriva Focuses Specific Oncolytic Viruses To Treat Various Cancers Theriva says its viruses have the potential to treat a broad range of difficult-to-treat tumor types. Their leading candidate, VCN-01, is a stroma-degrading oncolytic virus. It is intended to break down the tumor’s protective barrier and improve tumor access by co-administered cancer therapies and the patient’s immune system. It may be combined with other types of cancer therapies to treat a number of tumor types. Theriva has reported encouraging results from clinical trials in pancreatic cancer (PDAC), retinoblastoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Ongoing clinical trials conducted in collaboration with the School of Medicine at the University of Leeds in England and the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine are evaluating VCN-01 in other difficult to treat cancers.. Theriva’s additional next generation oncolytic viruses such as VCN-11, which incorporates the novel Albumin Shield technology, are in preclinical development in collaboration with researchers from at the Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge ( I DIBELL) and the Catalan Institute of Oncology ( ICO ). These studies are being conducted to determine safe dosage protocols and assess potential toxicity issues. The data from the tests will help inform clinical trial plans and other important aspects of product development programs. In conjunction with Washington University in St. Louis, Theriva is also investigating an approach to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a common and serious immune complication in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Allo-HCT, commonly known as bone marrow transplantation, is used to treat hematologic cancers, which begin in blood-forming tissue or immune system cells. Theriva’s oral β-lactamase (SYN-004), is an antibiotic-degrading enzyme being evaluated as a way to prevent aGVHD and other serious side effects caused by extensive use of antibiotics in these high-risk patients.. Addressing Difficult-To-Treat Cancers Represents Significant Commercial Opportunity The various types of solid tumors that Theriva’s oncolytic virus therapies treat represent a global commercial opportunity that could be as large as $532 billion by 2032, according to Precedence Research. Other analysts estimate the global market will be over $885 billion by 2033. Grand View Research estimates the global retinoblastoma treatment market will reach more than $3.3 billion by 2030. In its estimate of the growing market for treating the disease, Grand View attributes growing advancements in medical technology and the rising incidence of retinoblastoma. Theriva Has High Hopes For Its Therapies In a poster presented at the 2024 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the principal investigator and country coordinator of Theriva’s main clinical site in Spain, Dr. Rocio Garcia-Carbonero detailed the clinical trial design for the VIRAGE Phase 2b clinical trial of VCN-01 when administered to PDAC patients in combination with standard of care chemotherapy. In a recent interview, Garcia-Carbonero noted that metastatic PDAC has a high fatality rate despite recent treatment advancements. While the field has seen minimal improvement in standard care for decades, she said that she has “high hopes for VCN-01 due to its unique mechanism of action, which differs from traditional chemotherapy. VCN-01 aims to induce a robust immune response against the cancer.” More information about Theriva’s oncolytic virus therapies is available on the company’s website.

Mainz Biomed's (NASDAQ: MYNZ) Cutting-Edge Colorectal Cancer Test Applies For FDA Breakthrough Status

Benzinga

By Johnny Rice, Benzinga Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ) has taken a significant step forward in the fight against colorectal cancer with its application to the FDA for breakthrough device designation for its colorectal cancer test. This innovative screening test could revolutionize how we detect one of the most prevalent and deadly cancers worldwide. At its core, the test combines traditional fecal immunochemical testing with cutting-edge mRNA biomarker analysis, all enhanced by advanced AI algorithms. It's a sophisticated approach that aims to dramatically improve early detection rates for both colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. The numbers coming out of clinical trials are truly promising. In a study involving 295 participants across 21 U.S. gastroenterology centers, the test showed a 97% sensitivity for colorectal cancer and an 88% sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions. These figures, coupled with a 93% overall specificity, suggest a significant improvement over current screening methods. Mainz Biomed's CEO, Guido Baechler, emphasizes the test's potential impact, stating that the next-generation test has shown a significant improvement in sensitivity for advanced adenomas and high-grade dysplasias. This level of accuracy could be game-changing, potentially catching cancer and precancerous growths at much earlier, more treatable stages. However, what sets this test apart isn't just its accuracy but also its accessibility. Mainz Biomed is taking a decentralized approach, partnering with third-party laboratories to make the test more widely available. This strategy could be particularly beneficial for underserved communities where access to high-quality cancer screening has often been limited. If granted breakthrough device designation by the FDA, this test could see an expedited approval process, bringing it to patients sooner. The implications are significant: earlier and more accurate detection could lead to more timely interventions, potentially saving countless lives. Even as the FDA's decision is pending, this test potentially represents a beacon of hope in the ongoing battle against colorectal cancer. By combining innovative biotechnology with AI, Mainz Biomed is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in cancer detection. While it's important to temper excitement with caution until a full FDA review, this development undoubtedly marks a significant step forward. It serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing progress in medical science and the potential for new technologies to make a real difference in people's lives.

Citius Pharmaceuticals Nears Market Breakthrough With Two Leading Products

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga From fighting cancer to treating bloodstream infections, Citius Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR) is busy trying to solve some of the world’s ills. That’s picking up steam with two of its lead products close to commercialization. Take Mino-Lok (MLT), Citius Pharmaceuticals ' novel antibiotic lock solution that combines minocycline, ethanol and edetate disodium to treat patients with catheter-related blood stream infections. Mino-Lok offers hospitals an alternative to removing and replacing a central venous catheter (CVC), and that could reduce the number of serious adverse events like air embolism and bleeding. It could also save hospitals money. Bringing It To The Market Citius Pharmaceuticals CEO and co-founder Leonard Mazur told Benzinga that his company has “extremely positive” topline data from a Phase 3 Trial of Mino-Lok. Now Citius is meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to move ahead with Mino-Lok, he said. Once Mino-Lok is approved, the company says it will be the only FDA-backed product for infected catheters in the market, presenting a big opportunity for the company. “The market potential is about $2 billion,” said Mazur. “Positive announcements will come out of the meeting but I can’t predict that moment.” Then there is LYMPHIR, a recombinant fusion protein designed to treat T-cell lymphomas. The drug agent combines the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. In 2011 and 2013, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to LYMPHIR for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In 2021, Citius acquired an exclusive license with rights to develop and commercialize LYMPHIR in all markets except for Japan and certain other parts of Asia. In March this year, the FDA accepted Citius’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for LYMPHIR with a decision expected on August 13, the FDA's assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date. If approved, Citius is preparing for LYMPHIR commercialization later this year. “We’re very excited about this launching during the fourth quarter,” said Mazur. “We go from no revenue to revenues.” The executive pegged the market opportunity at $300 to $400 million, telling Benzinga LYMPHIR is an additive and won’t take market share from anyone. Shoring Up Shareholder Value Bringing two drug products to market isn't the only way Citius is enhancing shareholder value. The company is also spinning out its wholly-owned oncology unit to form Citius Oncology, a stand-alone publicly traded entity. It is doing it via a SPAC deal with TenX Keane (NASDAQ: TENK). Citius Pharma is getting 67.5 million shares in Citius Oncology at $10 per share, valuing the stake at $675 million and will retain majority ownership of approximately 90%. This transaction is expected to unlock significant value for Citius shareholders by separating the oncology business, potentially leading to increased access to capital markets and further development of new applications and additional intellectual property, reports Citius. It also underscores Citius’s strategy to purchase assets, develop them and bring them to market and then unlock shareholder value. Citius Oncology will serve as a platform to develop and commercialize novel targeted oncology therapies, with LYMPHIR the first to go to market. The company said the deal is expected to provide Citius Oncology with improved access to the public equity markets and thereby facilitate the commercialization of LYMPHIR and position the company to explore additional value-creating opportunities more fully. “The reason we are doing it is we get a Nasdaq listing by having the SPAC acquire the assets and at the same time it enables us to do something to prevent dilution for shareholders,” said Mazur. The CEO counts himself as one of them; he has invested $22.5 million of his own money in the business. “During the first year on the market we will be profitable. All that benefits Citius shareholders.” Featured photo by Nataliya Smirnova on Unsplash.
