Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals outlines significant progress with HEMO-CAR-T in 2023

HemoGenyx Pharmaceuticals

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals PLC CEO Dr Vladislav Sandler tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 was a significant year for the company, marked by notable progress with its HEMO-CAR-T product candidate. The key achievement for the year was the submission of a new Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence a phase one clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia. However, the process faced a setback due to issues with lentivirus purity, resulting in a clinical hold. After re-manufacturing the lentivirus, Hemogenyx successfully addressed the FDA's concerns and received approval to proceed with the clinical trials. Furthermore, Sandler reported a successful fundraising which will support the upcoming clinical studies. The company also entered a service agreement with Prevail Infoworks for the clinical trials. In addition to its advancements in HEMO-CAR-T, Hemogenyx continued developing other programs, such as its proprietary Chimeric Bait Receptor (CBR) platform, showing promise in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma and exploring applications in solid rare tumors. For 2024, the primary focus remains on advancing these clinical trials, particularly the phase one studies, with an immediate goal to initiate patient treatment.

Immunic CEO Dr Daniel Vitt marks International Day of Immunology with discussion on its crucial role

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc CEO Dr Daniel Vitt joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion on the International Day of Immunology to discuss the broad and crucial role of immunology in human health. Vitt said immunology encompasses immune responses against pathogens like viruses, including the coronavirus, and also plays a significant role in combating cancer. He highlighted the importance of the immune system in managing and preventing autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells, leading to various conditions. Focusing on Immunic's efforts, Vitt detailed their drug development pipeline, particularly in addressing chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. He spotlighted multiple sclerosis, with ongoing phase three studies in its relapsing form and a phase two study, named the CALLIPER trial, for its progressive form. The latter holds particular promise as it targets an area with currently no available treatments. For celiac disease, Vitt reported promising results from a phase one B proof-of-concept study that showed positive data across various metrics, including histology and biomarker levels. Plans are underway for further phase two studies in celiac disease and potentially other indications. Vitt also shared his personal journey from chemistry to immunology, driven by the potential to develop drugs that address significant medical needs.

New Standard of Care? IceCure Submits Final ICE3 Data To FDA, Minimally Invasive Cryoablation Shows Similar 5-year Recurrence Outcomes To Surgery With Hormone Therapy

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM), the Israeli medical device developer of ProSense®, an advanced liquid-nitrogen-based cryoablation therapy that destroys tumors (benign and cancerous) by freezing them, is one step closer to getting U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to market ProSense® to treat patients with early-stage T1 invasive breast cancer with cryoablation and adjuvant hormone therapy. IceCure just reported final clinical trial results of 100% patient and physician satisfaction with the minimally invasive procedure. At the 5-year follow-up evaluation, 96.3% of the subgroup of patients treated with ProSense® cryoablation, followed by hormone therapy, were estimated to be free from local recurrence Earlier in April, the company submitted its final data to the FDA which included five-year follow-up data from its ICE3 study, a sub-analysis of the ICE3 results compared to studies that evaluated the risk of recurrence in patients with low-risk Luminal A breast cancer who were treated with lumpectomy surgery and received hormone therapy and real-world data from the use of ProSense® globally, including post-market commercial use as well as data from independent third-party studies. ProSense®, which received the FDA's Breakthrough Device Designation, is already cleared for use in the U.S. for several other indications, including treating benign tumors of the breast and tumors in the kidney and liver. Positive Topline Results IceCure’s ICE3 study was the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed for liquid nitrogen (LN2) based cryoablation of low-risk, early-stage malignant breast tumors. The five-year recurrence-free rates from the study, which evaluated IceCure's minimally invasive 20-to-40-minute outpatient cryoablation procedure, were in line with expectations and showed similar outcomes to lumpectomy, the current standard of care for early-stage breast cancer patients, which is breast surgery that requires an operating room and hospital stay. In the ICE3 study, 96.39% of patients (187 out of 194 patients) were local recurrence-free with no significant device-related adverse events or complications reported. A comparison of this result from the ICE3 study shows similar outcomes in five-year recurrence rates compared to patients in other studies who were treated with lumpectomy followed by hormone therapy. The LUMINA study reported a 97.7% recurrence-free rate at five-year follow-up and the PRISMA meta-study, which included Lumina, reported a 97.19% recurrence-free rate at five-year follow-up. ICE3 results are also in line with data from real-world use of ProSense® by third parties in territories where IceCure's cryoablation system is used to treat early-stage breast cancer. In the final ICE3 analysis, no significant device-related adverse events or complications were reported, and all patients and physicians reported satisfaction with the ProSense® procedure, the company said. That means 100% of physicians and patients were happy with the treatments they received. Dr. Richard Fine, ICE3’s lead investigator, presented final data from the ICE3 study at the American Society of Breast Surgeons 25th Annual Meeting, where he commented, "Cryoablation is a safe, minimally invasive ablative procedure with acceptably low five-year same breast recurrence similar to that of lumpectomy for similar patient populations, with the benefit of being an office-based, nonsurgical treatment. Further study within a clinical trial or registry is needed to confirm cryoablation as a viable alternative to surgical excision in the appropriately selected patients.” Dr. Fine’s presentation, which received the conference’s Scientific Impact Award, was well received by breast surgeons who are constantly looking for treatments that are minimally invasive and effective. A New Way To Treat An Old Problem What makes cryoablation so attractive to freeze and destroy tumors is that it is minimally invasive, has little pain associated with it and thanks to an ultrasound or computerized tomography can accurately destroy diseased tissue within the tumor zone. Cryoablation also costs less than a lumpectomy and reduces the risk of follow-up surgery. With a lumpectomy, the re-excision rate is between 14-21%. IceCure’s ProSense® has the potential to become a new standard of care treatment for women with early-stage T1 invasive breast cancer, marking a major improvement to the care available today. Some researchers have even called cryoablation the “ ultimate esthetic solution for breast cancer ” because it reduces the need for pre-emptive or corrective surgical procedures to maintain or restore breast volume, contour and symmetry. "Initial reimbursement codes are already in place and our U.S. marketing and commercial team is ready, as we await the FDA's response. Driven by favorable healthcare economics combined with patient satisfaction and demand, we expect rapid adoption pending FDA granting the DeNovo Classification Request for Marketing Approval," stated IceCure CEO Eyal Shamir. With Reimbursement In Place, IceCure Is Ready To Go With the final data submitted, IceCure is ready to go once the FDA gives it the green light. The company received what it said was the first Medicare coverage approval of a cryoablation procedure for breast cancer. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) set the reimbursement payment at about $3,400 for the facility alone. Additional coverage, including payment for the physician, is expected upon establishment of the permanent CPT Category I code, which is conditioned on factors including the company's receipt of FDA marketing authorization of ProSense® for breast cancer. Having that reimbursement should enhance the usage of the ProSense® system. Nearly 300,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer yearly, and the majority have to undergo invasive treatments and deal with follow-up surgeries in the quest to live cancer-free. IceCure is changing that by freezing tumors to destroy them. IceCure seems poised to do exactly what it set out to do: provide women with an alternative minimally invasive treatment option.

AmeriLife’s The Senior Resource Group Partners with Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance to Transform Medicare Choice

AmeriLife

The Senior Resource Group, (SRG), a leading, national field marketing organization (FMO) for the industry’s leading insurance carriers and an affiliate of AmeriLife Group, LLC (“AmeriLife”), announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Bobby Brock Insurance (BBI), a leading national health insurance agency and founding sponsor of MedicareCon, a highly regarded annual Medicare and health insurance conference for licensed and entrepreneurial health insurance agents. In a separate but related deal, SRG also welcomed Camas Prairie Insurance (CPI), a central Idaho-based, family owned and operated health insurance agency and downline partner of Bobby Brock Insurance (which will continue to operate as such). Per both agreements, terms were not disclosed. “We are so excited to partner with the Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance teams,” said Shane Souders, co-founder of The Senior Resource Group. “[BBI CEO] Justin is a trusted voice for the Medicare broker community and an incredible business leader, while [CPI owner] Josh Lustig is a great young leader and one of the best sales trainers and motivators in the business today. SRG, BBI and CPI, with the support of AmeriLife, are aligned with complementary skillsets that will make us one of the most dynamic Medicare agency partnerships in the country.” Founded by Bobby Brock in 1992, Bobby Brock Insurance operates as a national brokerage firm and call center that specializes in ACA plans for the under-65 market, Medicare Supplement plans, Medicare Part D plans, and Medicare Advantage. In 2014, Bobby Brock’s son and the company’s current CEO, Justin Brock, left the Marine Corps to pursue a career as a licensed Medicare agent. The younger Brock saw a need to breathe fresh air into the marketing, service, and team building aspect of the industry, and quickly established a thriving culture and expanded value proposition for both agents and consumers with the concepts he learned as an Operator in the Marine Corps. Soon thereafter, he acquired his father’s book of business along with a number of other agencies, consolidating them under the Bobby Brock name in honor of his father. Today, Bobby Brock Insurance is setting the industry standard. In 2023, it was named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest-growing private companies by revenue in the United States. The company has also won multiple industry awards for its one-stop insurance agency solution, GoGuru, and has become prolific in its use of social media to promote and foster the sharing of information between agents and brokers. “Our industry needs agents and brokers to focus on consumers’ needs first,” said Justin Brock. “If we can work towards an environment that rewards quality outcomes while creating efficiencies that allow our sales representatives to replicate the process often and with ease, we can prove that there is no better distribution model than through licensed life and health insurance agents. We are confident that our synergies with AmeriLife, SRG, and CPI will amplify our ability to achieve that goal.” Camas Prairie Insurance, a family-run, health brokerage established in 1996 by Dominic and Gina Lustig, primarily focuses on the Medicare and health insurance market. The company has experienced rapid growth over the past several years under the leadership of owner and CEO Josh Lustig, building upon a foundation centered on its “just do the next right thing” approach and an intense focus on educating clients on their health care needs. “This partnership is a watershed moment in Camas Prairie Insurance’s history,” said Josh Lustig, who is also the founder of Thrive, a personal and business development seminar program focused on helping agents grow their business. “I truly believe that, together, we are building something incomparable in our space for today’s individual agent and agency owner, and I couldn’t ask for better partners on this journey than Shane, Justin, Bobby Bache and the entire team at AmeriLife.” Now, as part of the AmeriLife family of companies, Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance will gain access to one of the industry’s largest independent health distribution platforms and a growing suite of products and solutions that is setting a standard for excellence in the industry. “Today is an incredible day for The Senior Resource Group and AmeriLife,” said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer of Health for AmeriLife. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome two companies of their reputation and caliber to our growing distribution network. Together, our opportunities for growth are limitless.” “One of the reasons I partnered with AmeriLife as an affiliate back in 2020 was for this very reason: to get to work with not only the best people in the industry, but people that have been my friends for years,” added Bobby Bache, vice president of Health Distribution for AmeriLife. “I’m thrilled to welcome Justin and Josh to AmeriLife and look forward to helping grow their respective businesses in new and exciting ways.” Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance will continue to operate as stand-alone businesses out of their Tupelo, Miss., and Grangeville, Idaho offices, respectively, under the leadership of Brock and Lustig, who will be supported by Souders. ### About The Senior Resource Group The Senior Resource Group was founded in 2008 by insurance brokers who understand the needs of agents in the field.

Petros Pharmaceuticals announces online distribution for lead ED product with Lemonaid Health

Petros Pharmaceuticals Inc

Petros Pharmaceuticals CEO Fady Boctor joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share exciting developments with Proactive, highlighting a new collaboration with Lemonaid Health, a prominent telemedicine provider and subsidiary of 23andMe. Through this collaboration, Lemonaid Health's telehealth platform will offer prescription STENDRA® (avanafil) in all strengths, expanding distribution and enhancing access for patients. Lemonaid Health's extensive reach, having treated over 200,000 patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) to date, positions Petros to serve a broader patient base across the United States effectively. In addition to the collaboration with Lemonaid Health, Boctor discussed the positive results of an initial cohort in Petros' self-selection study. This study compares the use of a Drug Facts Label (DFL) alone to a combination of DFL with a web app. The preliminary results suggest that while the DFL-alone approach may be insufficient for self-selection, the combination with the proposed technology significantly improves outcomes. This study serves as a precursor to Petros' pivotal Phase 2 study, initiated earlier this month, which aims to provide compelling evidence to the FDA. The pivotal study is designed to demonstrate that users can determine the appropriateness of STENDRA® (avanafil) without the need for a physician and prescription. These developments underscore Petros Pharmaceuticals' commitment to leveraging innovative solutions to improve patient access to essential medications and streamline healthcare delivery processes.
