Your socially isolated brain craves interaction with other people just as much as it craves a meal when you are hungry – Massive Science

How do we learn when to cooperate, and when to cheat? It likely depends in part on the social interactions we observe growing up. Turns out that the same is true for cleaner fish (Labroides dimidiatus), according to a recent study.

Cleaner fish, also known as bluestreak cleaner wrasse, feed on ectoparasites found on other fishes their clients. What cleaner fish really like to eat, however, is the protective mucus that covers their clients bodies. While eating ectoparasites is great for client fishes, cheating by eating mucus is bad. Client fishes will punish cheaters by fleeing, or by chasing the cheaters around.

Whats the best option, to cheat and eat a brief but delicious snack (and risk being chased around), or to cooperate and eat a larger, peaceful, but not as tasty meal? A group of researchers led by Noa Truskanov, from the University of Neuchtel, set out to understand how juvenile cleaner fish learn to answer that question.

In a series of experiments recently published in Nature Communications, Truskanov and her collaborators allowed juvenile cleaner fish to observe adults interacting with model clients. They then placed these juveniles in the same situations they had just observed, and tested if they copied the adult fish, learned from the adult fish, or behaved independently of what they had just seen.

Their results show that juvenile fish are actively learning to cooperate by observing the interactions of adult fish with their clients. Juvenile fish are more cooperative when client fishes are intolerant of cheating. When given the choice, however, they prefer clients who allow them to cheat a little. Juvenile fish also didnt just imitate random adult preferences, showing that there are not copying, but rather learning.

Although both social learning and cooperation are widespread in nature, examples of animals that learn socially how to cooperate are extremely scarce. This leads us, humans, to erroneously assume that we are the only ones who learn to cooperate by observing others. Cleaner fish are putting us right back in our place: they can do it, too.

Retail Stocks Are Outperforming. Amazon.com Isnt the Only Reason Why. – Barron’s

U.S. Sectors: Equities NDR Ned Davis Research April 17: Retailing is early-cycle because it is most often the consumer who leads us into a recession and the consumer who leads us out. We think that will be the case this recession, as well. As soon as shelter-in-place restrictions end, we expect consumer spending to pick up or at least become less bad. Improved spending should be the start of the emergence from recession....

If you went overweight S&P Retailing at the start of every recession and closed out the trade at the end of every recession, you would have an average annualized relative return of 12.3%. Since 1954, Retailing has only underperformed during the 1960-1961 recession. Retailing had some of its best relative performance during the two recessions with the biggest declines in payrolls (1957, 2007)...

Even though Amazon.com [ticker: AMZN] is the primary reason S&P 500 Retailing has outperformed by 1,800 basis points, year-to-date, we are encouraged by Retailing sub-industry performance. Only two of nine sub-industries, Department Stores and Computer & Electronics Retail, have made lower relative-strength lows since March 23. Since April 2, equal-weighted S&P 500 Retailing has outperformed the equal-weighted S&P 500 by over 800 basis points.

Equity Research RBC Capital Markets April 17: Funding continues to pour into biotech, with the first quarter of 2020 just setting a fresh record for biopharma venture funding in the U.S., highlighting an unprecedented level of innovation and expectations for sustained value creation. Though we could see some reprioritization among early-stage investments with the crisis, with modalities such as cell and gene therapy, antisense oligonucleotides, and RNA inter-ference technologies breaking full steam into the commercial spotlight, we do not foresee any major changes to the innovative environment.

We are witnessing an unprecedented level of cooperation and speed in this pandemic from basic science to even manufacturing as 70+ biotechs rapidly shift focus toward the common goal of developing a treatment and vaccine. Again and again, we have heard from management and doctors the unprecedented level of communication and access available at all levels. Partnerships are being created at record speeds to immediately join the huntsometimes even with deal-term negotiations ongoing. It took our community roughly three months from viral genetic-sequence selection to the first human study for vaccine developmenta record milestone nearly 17 months ahead of the vaccine-development timeline for SARS (2003) and, most recently, several weeks ahead of Zika virus (2016) development.

BTIG Quick View BTIG April 16: The economic aspect of the virus is centered on Main Streetsmall businesses and their employees devastated by the sudden shutdown, in contrast to 2007-09s Great Financial Crisis, driven by imbalances from Wall Street and the broader financial industry. Nowhere is this more apparent than in measuring the relationship of the small-cap Russell 2000 volatility index, RVX, to the S&P 500s VIX; the spread closed today at 13.82, RVX over VIX, an all-time high in small-cap relative riskiness. Yet when this spread reaches the top decile (>8.25), stocks tend already to be in a distressed state, and while the near-term forward return profile is mixed, stocks are higher 12 months forward 91% of the time, with Russell 2000 outperformance the rule. These findings are consistent with our work, which shows that the bear-market laggards become the new bull-market leaders.

--Julian Emanuel, Michael Chu

Cyclical Outlook Pimco April 15: The economic loss [in China] is unprecedented: In nine weeks of lockdown, industrial production and services contracted about 10 to 15 percentage points from their pre-pandemic levels, and the unemployment rate could rise to 8%-9% from 5%. The first quarter of 2020 will mark the recession trough in China, in our view, with gross domestic product estimated to fall 10 percentage points below its pre-Covid level. [China reported Friday that first-quarter GDP contracted by 6.8%.] For comparison, even during the global financial crisis, Chinas GDP didnt contract.

Fiscal stimulus to date has increased to 16% of GDP, consisting of a 5% budget deficit, 6% in special government-bond financing investments, and the rest in liquidity/credit supports. Although the fiscal impulse could add four to five percentage points to GDP, the multiplier effects are weak for both corporate and household spending. We expect the Peoples Bank of China to cut policy rates by 30 to 50 basis points and keep liquidity ample, while efforts to maintain stability in the yuan will be continued.

Economic activity will likely follow a U shape over the course of 2020. The global recession will hit exports primarily in the second and third quarters of 2020, domestic demand is still hampered by quarantine curbs, and stimulus transmission is weak amid spreading bankruptcies and job losses. We forecast GDP growth in 2020 will be in a broad -4% to +2% range, the first severe economic recession in China since 1976. The economy likely will not recover to the fourth-quarter 2019 level until the first quarter of 2021.

--Isaac Meng, Stephen Chang

Rates Strategy MUFG Securities April 10: We remain deeply concerned over risks our models glean for a double-dip economic recession, beginning over the time period from 2H-2022 through year-end 2023. Our models forecast for a double-dip U.S. recession remains a complete outlier in comparison to the market consensus estimates, Blue Chip surveys, and official central banks and governmental projections.

Notwithstanding such a controversial intermediate-term outlook, should our models macro-economic forecasts for the years 2020 through 2023 prove accurate, then our interest-rate models spy risk that official monetary policy in the U.S. (and likely elsewhere) remains remarkably accommodative:

The federal funds policy target rate likely may remain at ZIRP [zero interest-rate policy] from 2020 through 2023.

The Federal Reserves Q.E. Treasury purchase program likely may be expanded by an additional $1.50 trillion over the near-term, followed by another expansion of near $2.00 trillion over the intermediate-term.

The Federal Reserves other non-conventional policies likely may be extended and expanded, as well, over the near and intermediate terms.

In turn, it would not surprise us that the shape, slope and level of the U.S. Treasury yield curve might resemble that of Japanese government bonds from a few years ago. For example: a 2-year Treasury Note yield of near 0.075%; a 5-year Treasury Note yield of near 0.25%, a 10-year Treasury Note yield of near 0.54%, and a 30-year Treasury Bond yield of near 1.77%.

The nucleic acid-based gene therapy market covered in this report is segmented by technology into anti-sence and anti-gene, short inhibitory sequences, gene transfer therapy, nucleoside analogs, ribozymes, aptamers, others. It is also segmented by application into oncology, muscular dystrophy/ muscular disorders, rare diseases.

Nucleic Acid Based Gene Therapy Market Market Global Report 2020-30 from the author provides the strategists, marketers and senior management with the critical information they need to assess the global nucleic acid based gene therapy market market.

Reasons to Purchase

Where is the largest and fastest growing market for the nucleic acid based gene therapy market? How does the market relate to the overall economy, demography and other similar markets? What forces will shape the market going forward? The Nucleic Acid Based Gene Therapy Market market global report from the author answers all these questions and many more.

The report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market's historic and forecast market growth by geography. It places the market within the context of the wider nucleic acid based gene therapy market market, and compares it with other markets.

The nucleic acid-based gene therapy market consists of sales of nucleic acid-based gene therapy products and services. Gene therapy is used for correcting defective genes that are responsible for disease development. Moreover, nucleic acid-based therapeutics are used to treat genetic disorders and diseases for which there exists no permanent cure such as anaemia, sickle cell, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and thalassemia.

Rising financial support by the government and the companies is projected to drive the demand for nucleic acid based gene therapy. Nucleic acid therapeutics are analogs of naturally occurring acids or proteins responsible for genetic expression. The traditional therapies do not have any cure for the treatment of diseases such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, sickle cell anaemia, thalassemia, and diabetes. Genetic profiling and molecular target identification form the backbone of these classes of drugs. Nucleic acid medication has greater potential for the treatment of these diseases, as they target the genetic basis of diseases and have a permanent cure. Rising financial support by the government and the companies dealing in the market for gene therapy is expected to contribute to increasing the demand for nucleic acid-based gene therapies. For instance in October 2019, the USA National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced plans to invest $100 million for the next four years to cure HIV and sickle cell disease with gene therapies. The government support for gene therapies will contribute to the growth of the market.

Stringent regulations imposed on gene therapies raises the price of gene therapies, which in turn hinders the demand for nucleic acid-based gene therapies. The excessive regulatory oversights create an expensive and elongated route for approval increasing the expenses. According to Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), unlike other drugs approved or regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), gene therapies are not only subject to the regulatory structure of FDA, but also the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee and Office of Biotechnology Activities. Also, as estimated by FEE, an approved gene therapy drug cost nearly $5.0 billion, which is five times higher than that of the average cost of FDA approval. The high cost of gene therapeutics drugs places them beyond the financial reach of the populace. This scenario is anticipated to restrain the market growth of the nucleic acid-based gene therapy market.

In May 2018, Vectalys, a leading biotechnology company specializing in the manufacturing of high-quality solutions for gene delivery and FlashCell, a company engaged in developing non-integrated lentiviral delivered RNA Therapeutics announced the merger to create Flash Therapeutics, a privately held gene therapy company developing cell and gene therapeutics. The new company Flash Therapeutics is expected to focus on the development of RNA therapeutics based on LentiFlash, a non-integrative lentiviral delivery technology for incurable diseases.

Major players in the market are Wave Life Sciences, Imugene, Caperna, Phylogica, Protagonist Therapeutics, Benitec Biopharma, EGEN, BioMedica, Transgene and Copernicus Therapeutics.

Axovant Announces Partnership with Invitae to Increase Access to Genetic Testing and Accelerate Diagnoses of GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidosis -…

NEW YORK and BASEL, Switzerland, April 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axovant Gene Therapies Ltd., a clinical-stage company developing innovative gene therapies for neurological diseases, today announced its collaboration with Invitae, a leading medical genetics company, in the Detect Lysosomal Storage Diseases (Detect) program to facilitate faster diagnoses for children with lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), including GM1 gangliosidosis and GM2 gangliosidosis, also known as Tay-Sachs/Sandhoff disease. Invitae offers genetic testing and counseling at no charge to patients suspected of having an LSD.

Axovant is committed to developing novel gene therapies for those living with rapidly progressive neurodegenerative diseases. We are hopeful that our collaboration with Invitae will provide families with easier access to genetic testing and bring us one step closer to identifying patients who may benefit from potential therapies, said Parag Meswani, PharmD., Axovants SVP of Commercial Strategy & Operations. Our AXO-AAV-GM1 clinical program targeting GM1 gangliosidosis is currently enrolling at the National Institutes of Health, and we are seeking IND clearance for the AXO-AAV-GM2 clinical trial targeting Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases. Early intervention is ideal with potentially disease-modifying genetic therapies, and our diagnostics partnership with Invitae should allow us to identify and enroll children at even earlier stages of disease progression.

LSDs are progressive, multi-system, inherited metabolic diseases associated with premature death, and genetic testing is a crucial first step to arriving at a diagnosis. LSDs are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed in the majority of patients. The Detect program includes a specific LSD testing panel of 53 genes designed to provide patients and families accurate information quickly to preserve valuable treatment time.

Genetic testing can expedite an accurate diagnosis, facilitate earlier interventions, allow genetic counseling of family members, and support clinical research for LSDs such as GM1 and GM2 gangliosidosis, said Robert Nussbaum, M.D., chief medical officer of Invitae. Were pleased Axovant has joined the Detect program to help offer no-charge, sponsored genetic testing for those patients suspected of having the disease.

Research has shown no-charge testing programs with large well-designed panels help increase utilization of genetic testing, which can shorten the time to diagnosis by as much as 2 years in some conditions. Accurate diagnoses enable clinicians to focus on providing disease-specific care sooner, helping reduce costs and improve outcomes.

Additional details, as well as terms and conditions of the program, can be found at https://www.invitae.com/en/detectLSDs/.

Takeda and Evotec partner on gene therapy – BioPharma-Reporter.com

Takeda has a number of early-stage gene therapies in its pipeline, including several for rare diseases. However, the pharma giant is looking to bolster its early-stage assets further with an agreement with Evotec GT.

Evotec GT is housed in Orth an der Donau, Austria, and specializes in the development of gene therapy for hemophilia, hematology, metabolic and muscle diseases.

After its acquisition of Shire, hematology now constitutes a core part of Takedas portfolio, meaning that this collaboration could offer the potential to strengthen its treatment base in the years to come.

Few further details were offered, and no financials were disclosed. Evotec only acknowledged that there would be an upfront payment and additional various payments over time.

What is known is that the long-term partnership will support multiple targets within Takedas four core therapeutic areas, oncology, rare diseases, neuroscience and gastroenterology. With Steven Hitchcock, global head of research for Takeda, suggesting that the rare disease area would likely be the principal focus.

With the Shire takeover complete, Takeda has turned its attention to signing small deals to fill out its early-stage pipeline in complementary areas to the formers portfolio, which saw it sign a deal for a microbiome-based therapeutic for Crohns disease and saw it acquire PvP Biologics to take on the companys therapeutic enzyme for celiac disease.

Balancing the scales in healthcare: winners and losers from COVID-19 – Science Business

The COVID-19, pandemic has brought the world to its knees in a way that has not been seen in most peoples lifetimes.

In addition to an enormous impact on human health in many countries, restrictions imposed in an attempt to control the virus and protect vulnerable populations are having far reaching impacts across the global economy.

Biotech and pharma companies in Europe and elsewhere have rushed to support work on developing new diagnostic tests, treatments and vaccines for the virus. But with most non-COVID-19 clinical research at a standstill, laboratories shut and staff working from home, many companies are losing out.

Recruiting patients into new or ongoing clinical trials seems to be an issue not for a few companies, but at least half of the companies I follow, said Marcus Wieprecht, healthcare specialist and managing director of equity research at Mainfirst bank in Frankfurt.

Frontrunners in the race to develop a vaccine include Moderna in the US and BioNTech and CureVac in Germany. Moderna has begun phase I tests in human volunteers, BioNTech plans to start testing this month and CureVac hopes to begin tests in June.

The move into infectious disease vaccines marks a change in direction for Moderna and BioNTech, which initially were applying their messenger RNA technologies in the development of cancer vaccines. CureVac too, has taken an mRNA-based cancer vaccine into clinical development, but it also has positive safety and tolerability data for a rabies vaccine, and an approved manufacturing facility in Tbingen.

If the data from our COVID-19 project is as positive as our rabies data, then certainly there will be an accelerated kind of approval process, said Franz-Werner Haas, acting CEO of CureVac. This is what we have to discuss with the regulatory authorities, but there is a potential that this could be the first one.

You have to follow the same manufacturing steps whether its a rabies vaccine, a COVID vaccine, or an oncologic vaccine, Haas said. The mechanism is always the same.

Who stands to lose?

In the rush to test drugs against COVID-19, clinical trials in other indications are being interrupted by the strains on healthcare systems and the fact that many potential patients are those most likely to suffer severe effects from coronavirus infection.

This will have an impact on the financial health of small biotechs with limited cash runways, which are now facing longer waits for clinical trials to read out.

For example, in March, Swiss biotech Addex Therapeutics announced it is postponing the registration study of its lead programme dipraglurant in the treatment of Parkinsons disease. Similarly, fellow Swiss company Geneuro said the start of a phase II trial of its lead programme, temelimab in multiple sclerosis, due to be held at the Karolinska Instituet, was being deferred.

Delays in starting trials will lead to delays in getting results and this will hit the finances of small companies that rely on delivering data to raise the next tranche of private capital or trigger a milestone payment from a commercialisation partner. Companies have a base level of cash burn, even if they arent running an active clinical trial.

Addex and Geneuro are fortunate not to have started their trials. Many companies with ongoing clinical studies that have already sucked up a large amount of time and money, are now unclear when they will end. Regulators are taking a flexible approach and allowing deviations from trial protocols, for example, allowing patients to have assessments by telephone and for supplies of trial drugs to be delivered to patients homes. They also promise flexibility when the time comes that trials can restart.

One company that is benefitting from this flexibility is French biotech Sensorion, which is currently running a phase II study testing a gene therapy in hearing loss. While it has had to delay the recruitment of new patients, it continues to monitor those already enrolled.

Since some patients enrolled in the study may be unable to complete the follow-up visits as planned in the protocol, follow-up visits are being planned via teleconference or videoconference with the clinical sites, said Nawal Ouzren, CEO of Sensorion.

It is important the regulators work with companies to ensure trials that have been put on hold are not invalidated, said Eric Le Berrigaud, managing partner of equity at the French investment bank Bryan Garnier & Co, which has a focus on healthcare. We really have to make sure that everything can remain statistically meaningful, he said. When theres a few weeks delay, protocols are [drawn up] in such a way that you can adjust for that, but if it's a matter of months, then it could put a lot of trials in jeopardy.

Investor sentiment

Biotech and pharma shares have suffered far less than other sectors from the havoc COVID-19 has wreaked in stock markets around the world, but there have been falls nonetheless. On January 23 as the COVID-19 crisis began to unfold, the share price of the Nasdaq-quoted Austrian biotech Hookipa Pharma was US$13.80. It hit a low of $5.90 on March 16, recovering to $7.98 at the close last Thursday, 9 April.

Theyre doing well, but in the aftermath of COVID-19, in-sync with the overall market, suddenly their share price goes down, with no good reason, said Markus Hosang, General Partner at BioMed Partners venture capital firm in Basel, an early backer of Hookipa.

Hosang said BioMed Partners is continuing to invest in startups, but is taking a more cautious approach. Already at the outset we will have to make sure that enough capital is made available, particularly to young earlier-stage companies.

Andreas Schmidt, CEO of Proteona, a specialist in single cell proteomic analysis, believes this is a time for dynamic rethinking. The Singapore-based company was due to run tests of its technology in Germany, but with many big research centres in the country closed, it needs to do these elsewhere.

We are very international. We have operations in California and Germany and Singapore ... right now, we are hardly affected in terms of operations in Singapore. So we just say, okay, anything we would have done in Germany, we will now do in Singapore.

Government assistance

The sheer scale of the problem has resulted in governments across Europe introducing grants, loans and other assistance for companies in difficulty due to COVID-19. The French government for example, introduced measures that have been taken up by local biotechs including Pixium Vision, which is developing a retinal implant for correcting sight loss.

The European Commission is also providing support for smaller companies and will make 1 billion available from the EU budget over the next few weeks, to activate 8 billion of financing for 100,000 European small and medium enterprises.

The commission has also announced dedicated research and development funding. Over 1,000 start-ups and small and medium-sized companies with ideas for tackling the COVID-19 pandemic have applied for funding in the European Innovation Councils special 164 million call.

Some small life sciences companies have benefitted from 47.5 million in dedicated funding from Horizon 2020, to support development of diagnostic tests, treatments, vaccines and monitoring and other medical systems.

One beneficiary is the Irish company HiberGene, which was awarded 1 million to fast track development of a COVID-19 diagnostic.

Another source of finance is crowdfunding, with equity crowdfunder Aescuvest for example collaborating with other crowdfunding platforms to raise money for biotechs working on combating COVID-19.

Schmidt is on the board of Aescuvest. All the crowd investment platforms are aligning forces to look at raising money very quickly beyond the normal business model, he said. It's a bit of an experiment. I think nobody has tried that before.

Vaccines, and antiviral and antibiotic drugs are not seen as an attractive area for investment, due to long and expensive development timelines and low returns on investment. The current pandemic is so devastating and widespread it could leave more of a long-term legacy than other recent outbreaks, such as Ebola and Zika, which have had less impact in terms of their geographical spread.

Its not clear as yet what this legacy will be, but when the dust settles and the reports are written, one likely outcome will be a greater prioritisation of pandemic preparedness in western countries.

Its like the immune system. If you want to prime with active immunisation, you want to prime your body to be protected if the situation occurs, said Haas. If it doesnt occur, fine, but if it occurs, the body is already alerted and knows what to fight for.

How pharma companies are shifting deal strategies for cell and gene therapies – EPM Magazine

Lev Gerlovin, vice president in the Life Sciences Practice at Charles River Associates (CRA), and Pascale Diesel former vice president in the Life Sciences Practice at CRA, discuss how pharma companies are changing their strategies when it comes to cell and gene therapies.

In recent years, drug development has been transitioning from a one pill fits all approach to a focus on more targeted and personalised therapies, including many cell and gene therapies. These innovative treatments often bring the promise of high efficacy and even curative benefit and, in many cases, are options for patients with diseases that previously had limited or no treatments available. With several cell and gene therapies now approved and many more advancing toward late-stage clinical development, patient communities and healthcare systems are rapidly recognising their potential benefits, whilst pharmaceutical companies are considering opportunities including mergers, acquisitions, licensing agreements, and partnerships. The deal-making landscape for cell and gene therapies is already very active and positioned to grow exponentially in the years ahead.

While the pace of deal-making is accelerating, the unique qualities of cell and gene therapies are also requiring dealmakers on both sides to consider some innovative and previously untried strategies designed to optimise returns and reduce risk. They are structuring deals to address many factors, including the lack of commercial benchmarks for these products and limited long-term safety and efficacy data often associated with cell and gene therapies. We conducted an analysis of more than 30 deals executed in the cell and gene therapy sector recently and compared them to deals executed for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) between 1999-2013. Emerging cell and gene therapies are often considered magic bullets in the treatment of many serious diseases a claim that was applied to many mAbs when they were first introduced to the market about 20 to 25 years ago and the level of interest in deal-making for these therapies is a reflection of the level of optimism companies have regarding their clinical and commercial potential. Findings from our analysis show that the pace of deal-making in cell and gene therapy is faster and occurring much earlier in the drug development process compared to deals seen in the past for breakthrough therapies including mAbs.

When the first mAb was approved in the mid-1980s, deal-making interactions were mostly limited to collaborations and licensing agreements between smaller biotechnology firms. It took more than 20 years for big pharma to become significantly interested in mAbs and start proactively pursuing deals for these drugs. Conversely, deals within the cell and gene therapy sector have shown a much faster uptake, quickly growing in momentum since approval of the first cell and gene therapies in the early 2010s. More than 50 cell and gene therapy-related partnerships and investments were established between 2010-2016, with big pharma involved in many deals from the beginning. In one example, Novartis initiated a collaboration with GenVec in 2010 for clinical development of adeno-based gene therapies a deal worth potentially $213 million (excluding royalties). That same year Novartis also formed a strategic alliance with GlaxoSmithKline and the Telethon Institute of Gene Therapy to pursue additional gene therapy research and development.

Larger pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis seem more eager to embrace cell and gene therapies compared to prior innovative therapies including mAbs, but the types and values of related deals are evolving compared to what has historically been seen. While the largest mAb deals were often characterised by the acquisitions of late-stage and marketed products, which present more robust data and potentially lower risk to acquisition or licensing partners, most major cell and gene therapy acquisitions involve product pipelines, platform technologies, and manufacturing capabilities rather than one single product. Larger pharmaceutical companies are also targeting earlier stage opportunities, with a higher proportion of partnerships involving Phase 1 or even preclinical stage assets. For example, Pfizer established a collaboration deal with Spark Therapeutics for the development and potential commercialisation of a Phase 1/2 gene therapy for the treatment of haemophilia B and also acquired Bamboo Therapeutics based on a promising gene therapy portfolio including one Phase 1 and several preclinical assets for the treatment of rare diseases impacting the nervous system.

As more companies work to establish a presence in this sector, both larger and smaller companies now often prefer innovative licensing and collaborative agreements, whereas the majority of deals executed for mAbs were straightforward mergers or acquisitions. Given that cell and gene therapy development is still in its nascent stages and many stakeholders, including payers, have questions related to their long-term clinical benefit and budget impact, the fact that mergers or acquisitions are deemed less attractive is unsurprising. Innovative partnerships can be a lower risk option for licensors or investors who want to expand their cell and gene therapy portfolios without assuming full financial responsibility. Partnership and licensing deals can also help reduce the risk of possible disruptions in business operations and productivity, which often occur following M&A deals and the subsequent restructuring of company resources and teams.

The opportunity to access complementary business capabilities is another factor that is driving interest in innovative licensing and collaborative agreements. With licensing arrangements, a licensor might be seeking a partner who can offer specialised expertise in a specific indication whereas a licensee might see the benefit of collaborating with a company with technical abilities or assets that align with their own product pipeline. The partnership between Neurocrine Bioscience and Voyager Therapeutics reflects this type of synergistic collaboration, where Neurocrine provides expertise in central nervous system (CNS) drug development as well as financial support for the clinical development of gene therapies for Parkinson's disease and Friedreichs ataxia. In return, Neurocrine gains the opportunity to co-commercialise and potentially obtain global rights to portfolio-compatible therapies.

As new cell and gene therapies emerge and others progress to late-stage clinical development and regulatory approval, most industry stakeholders anticipate that both the structure and value of deals in the sector will mature. Companies will exercise the option to follow up on previous collaborative deals, punctuating the space with potentially massive exclusive licensing agreements and acquisitions.

Trading a spear for a trident is promising in the fight against leukemia – Baylor College of Medicine News

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. While most children respond well to chemotherapy, some experience resistant or relapsed disease. Building on an immunotherapy treatment called CAR T cell therapy, Dr. Nabil Ahmed and his colleagues from multiple institutions were able to engineer a new fighter T cell that more effectively targeted leukemia cells in preclinical studies.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy, was developed to help children for whom chemotherapy was not enough, said Ahmed, associate professor of pediatrics, section of hematology-oncology at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Childrens Hospital. He is the senior author of the findings published by Dr. Kristen Fousek and colleagues in the journal Leukemia.

CAR T cell therapy uses a patients T cells, a type of immune cell that is usually involved in fighting cancer. Several research groups have genetically engineered patients T cells to express a CAR molecule to recognize CD19, a protein (antigen) found on leukemia cells. When these CAR T cells are introduced back into the patient, they can attack the cancer more effectively. Although initial treatment using CAR T cells offered impressive initial results, nearly half of the patients who received the therapy later relapsed because the cancer adapted to the attack by not producing the target protein CD19 anymore. As a result of this adaptation, the cancer became invisible to the engineered T cells.

Looking to improve this promising immunotherapy, Ahmed collaborated with Dr. Hisham Abdel-Azim, an investigator in the Saban Research Institute of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and co-corresponding author, to study the pattern of target change before and after treatment with CD19 CAR T cells. Accordingly, Fousek, then a graduate student in Ahmeds laboratory at the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, engineered a T cell that targets not only CD19, but also two other proteins found on leukemia cells, CD20 and CD22.

Its like using a trident to attack the cancer instead of a spear, said Ahmed, who also is a member of Baylors Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The team used this three-pronged weapon against leukemia cells in preclinical studies and developed new methods to monitor how well it worked.

The new CAR T cells, named TriCAR T cells, targeting CD19/20/22 were significantly more effective than T cells that target CD19 alone. When the leukemia cells stopped producing CD19 and were no longer visible to CD19 CAR T cells, TriCAR T cells were still effective.

TriCAR T cells bind to more cancer cells and these connections are much stronger, said Abdel-Azim.

We studied the behavior of individual TriCAR T cells in the laboratory of Dr. Varadarajan at the University of Houston; the new TriCAR T cells are more effective serial killers of leukemia, Ahmed said.

Although a clinical trial will be needed before the new TriCAR T cell therapy could be used on patients, the early lab results suggest a path that could be significantly more effective in battling resistant leukemia.

Who Benefits from Herceptin and Other Anti-HER2 Cancer Therapies? – The Scientist

HER2-positive breast cancer may be a misnomer, according to a growing body of evidence that one of the most widely recognized oncogenes, HER2, may not be the primary driver of the disease. The research, which comes from several groups including Genentech, makers of the prevailing anti-HER2 treatment, has researchers questioning whether current clinical guidelines for classifying and treating breast cancer may be off the mark. New classification schemes may better identify those patients more likely to benefit from anti-HER2 treatment, or point to therapies that might be more effective.

HER2 is short for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Researchers discovered HER2 breast cancer in the 1980s. Too many copies of the HER2 gene or its overexpression appeared to cause an especially aggressive form of the disease. By the late 90s, a drug called Herceptin that targeted the HER2 receptor, sped into the clinic on the US Food and Drug Administrations new fast-track status. As Dana-Farber Cancer Institute oncologist Harold Burstein put it a couple of years ago, HER2 breast cancer, once the most feared type of the disease, had gone from worst to first, largely because of Herceptin.

After analyzing multiple, published genomic data sets, researchers at Genentech, which makes Herceptin, reported in 2018 that there was no evidence that HER2 amplification represents a breast cancer subtype.

About 14 percent of breast cancers are HER2-positive, a diagnosis largely based on immunohistochemical staining to reveal an overabundance of HER2 receptors spanning the cancer cells membranes, with ambiguous cases decided by testing for an abnormally high HER2 gene copy number. The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends Herceptin as the first-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. In the US, tens of thousands of patients receive Herceptin each year. Recently, however, researchersincluding those from Herceptin maker Genentechhave begun to reconsider the HER2-positive subtype.

In the HER2-centric model of breast cancer, highly dysregulated HER2 signaling drives uncontrolled cell growth. HER2-positive breast cancers carry as many as 50 copies of the HER2 gene, compared with just two in noncancerous cells, and the gene can be highly expressed, leading to HER2 protein levels as much as 40- to 100-fold higher than normal.

But after analyzing multiple, published genomic datasets, researchers at Genentech reported in 2018 that there was no evidence that HER2 amplification (and, by extension, HER2 overabundance) represents a breast cancer subtype at all. HER2 amplification by itself seemed to have a negligible influence on the expression of genes thought to be mediated by the HER2 signaling. Rather, HER2 amplification was associated with upregulation of genes governed by androgen receptor (AR) signaling, which orchestrates the actions of testosterone and related hormones and is often boosted in breast cancer. This link between HER2 amplification and AR signaling suggests the androgen receptor may play a bigger role in the disease than previously recognized.

Other researchers have similarly reevaluated breast cancers using transcriptional profiles that look at gene expression across the genome, rather than focusing on individual genes thought to have large effect. The resulting subtypes require a more nuanced view of HER2 or dont include HER2 at all.

[T]he whole state of subdividing and classifying breast cancers is in a state of flux, says Larry Norton, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center who played a key role in the clinical trials establishing HER2-positive breast cancer as a subtype and Herceptin as the first drug for treating it. Were in a molecular era now, so we think we know more.

The conventional view of HER2 breast cancer that guides current clinical practice has been under pressure for some time. While most researchers remain convinced that HER2 is a clear driver of some breast cancers, Herceptin by itself struggled to knock down HER2-positive tumors in early clinical trials. It was the synergy with [the chemotherapy drug] paclitaxel that really put the drug on the map, says Norton, who was involved in the early trials of the combination therapy. Had we focused in on trastuzumab [Herceptin] as a single agent . . . the drug would have been abandoned.

Norton was the senior author of the published trial that led to FDA approval of Herceptin for advanced breast cancer in 1998. However, that trial did not actually demonstrate that the combination of Herceptin and paclitaxel, a type of chemotherapy drug known as a taxane, was superior to paclitaxel alone in increasing survival. Only when the data were combined with separate trial arms testing non-taxane chemotherapy with and without Herceptin did the researchers see a statistically significant difference in survival.

In addition, the two trials that led to Herceptins 2006 approval for early breast cancer later cast doubt on HER2 as a biomarker for response to the drug. A 2007 reanalysis of one of the trials found no statistical interaction between patients HER2 status and whether they benefitted from Herceptin. A similar reanalysis of the second trial corroborated this result: [Herceptin] benefit seemed independent of HER2 amplification, the researchers wrote in their report.

In 2000, a group at the Stanford University School of Medicine used state-of-the-art microarray technology to propose molecular subtypes of breast cancer based on the expression of more than 8,000 genes in biopsies from 42 patients. While the researchers identified a molecular signature for a HER2-based subtype, it wasnt strictly based on overabundance of the HER2 receptor or high HER2 copy numbers in the genome. Rather, they used the expression patterns from nearly 500 genes as indicators of the activation of the HER2 signaling pathway.

The new subtype, which the team later dubbed HER2-enriched (HER2E), fractured the HER2 classification: a tumor might be HER2-positive based on the classical methods but not show evidence of HER2-mediated signaling activity at the transcriptional level. Only 47 percent of HER2-amplified tumors are HER2E, a concordance the 2018 paper from Genentech calls remarkably weak. Margaret Gatti-Mays of the National Cancer Institute estimates that 30 percent to 40 percent of tumors classified as HER2E tumors are not clinically HER2-positive.

A number of research groups have found no HER2-based subtype at all. In a 2005 paper, Richard Iggo, then at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, and colleagues performed experiments similar to those that had identified the molecular subtypes put forward by the Stanford researchers in 2000. Iggos team found that the previously discovered HER2 group did not appear to be defined by HER2, but by genes that looked like they might be related to androgen signaling, says Iggo, now at INSERM and the University of Bordeaux in France.

Similarly, in their 2018 study from Genentech, Anneleen Daemen and Gerard Manning found that AR activity is a key part of the HER2E subtype. HER2-enriched is not HER2-driven, per se. Its rather the androgen signaling, says Daemen, now head of translational medicine at ORIC Pharmaceuticals. You have androgen signaling that is massively on . . . and that is regardless of whether the HER2-enriched tumor is also HER2-positive or not.

Gerard Tarulli, an endocrinology researcher at the University of Melbourne who was not involved in the study, explains that this may be because the androgen receptor can play a role similar to the estrogen receptor (ER), which, in the most common form of breast cancer, drives tumor growth. In HER2E tumors, AR signaling is thought to replace ER as the driver, with the androgen receptor almost physically substituting for the presence of the estrogen receptor, says Tarulli.

Iggo and his colleagues called for the HER2E subtype to be renamed molecular apocrine to reflect a pathology very different from a HER2-centric model of disease, one that appears to involve signaling by AR and perhaps other pathways as well. The thing thats slightly disappointing for me, says Iggo, [is that] rather than changing the name . . . [the Stanford team] just said HER2-enriched, which perpetuates the idea that [HER2 amplification] defines a biological subtype.

Daemen agrees. When they originally defined these subtypes, they should not have used the word HER2-enriched because thats misleading, she says. [The nomenclature is] so ingrained in the research thats happening for breast cancer that people really hold on to it. . . . The field at large has not questioned those subtypes or deviated from them as much as is happening in other fields or other cancer types. The Stanford team did not respond to The Scientists request for comment.

Which subtypes are real is a very difficult question, says Tarulli. One recently published breast cancer scheme includes seven types, three of which could be considered subsets of the traditional HER2-positive categorization, while yet another research group has proposed 10 molecular subtypes, including one that pertains to HER2-type disease.

According to Daemen, her work was closely followed by the clinicians and the biomarker scientists who were running trials in breast and gastric cancers. I worked closely with the clinical teams at Genentech at that time to see if we could explain why some patients in our trials were not responding as well to anti-HER2 agents because of AR expression, for example. However, Daemen left Genentech last fall and says, to my knowledge, there is no additional research that is being undertaken [at the company] as a result of this. Genentech spokesperson Kayla Bruneau says that the company did not have any researchers available to discuss the [Daemen and Manning] paper at this time.

For now, clinical practice continues in strict adherence to the HER2-positive subtype as classically defined. HER2 receptor overabundance or HER2amplification has been validated as a biomarker of clinical effect for HER2-targeting therapies, Gatti-Mays says in a statement emailed to The Scientist. But the diversity of subtypes churned out by recent molecular analyses has thrown the field for a loop.

We thought that there should be some underlying molecular characteristic that is shared by all the HER2-positive breast tumors, and that turned out not to be the case, says Daemen. This absence of HER2-related biology in HER2-positive tumors seems to clash with how targeted therapies, including anti-HER2 treatments, are thought to work, namely, by interrupting a well-understood, cancer-driving pathway.

If you can demonstrate that adding a HER2 enrichment analysis in terms of clinical decision-making improves patient outcomes, then that classification needs to go in.

Gerard Tarulli, University of Melbourne

HER2E in particular is gaining traction as a possible subtype to consider for eventual clinical use. According to a meta-analysis published earlier this year, HER2E patients show a stronger clinical benefit from anti-HER2 therapies than other molecular subtypes. Tarulli says the inclusion of HER2E in future clinical trials of anti-HER2 therapies makes a lot of sense, because now were understanding more about the mechanisms behind what [HER2] is doing.

Once clinical trial data start rolling in, researchers can make a more informed decision, he says. If you can demonstrate that adding a HER2 enrichment analysis in terms of clinical decision-making improves patient outcomes, then that classification needs to go in. Tarulli also says that for HER2E patients, inhibiting both the androgen receptor and HER2 makes a lot of sense and will probably increase the effect of both. The authors of the meta-analysis did not respond to a request for comment.

Daemen disagrees with using HER2E to decide who gets anti-HER2 therapy, which can have heart-related side effects, in a clinical trial. If you were to base treatment decisions on the HER2-enriched label of a tumor, you would do harm, rather, in patients that lack HER2 amplification.

HER2E is an interesting subgroup, agrees Gatti-Mays, but [m]ore information is needed about the long-term clinical outcomes of these HER2E patients.

Still, earlier conceptions might be falling away, Norton says. The simplistic notionHER2 is a signaling molecule, you blockade, stop the signaling, so you get apoptosis rather than going into cell division[that] all makes sense, but it could be wrong.

ThermoGenesis Announces Its ImmuneCyte Joint Venture Acquires Key Technologies to Develop Fully Human Polyclonal and Monoclonal Antibody Therapeutics…

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --ThermoGenesis Holdings, Inc.(Nasdaq: THMO), a market leader in automated cell processing tools and services in the cell and gene therapy field, announced today that its joint venture, ImmuneCyte Life Sciences, Inc., has completed the acquisition of worldwide intellectual property for developing fully human antibody therapeutics for COVID-19. The acquired intellectual property includes four high-affinity monoclonal antibody drug candidates against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) and tools for screening and quantifying efficacy of such neutralizing antibodies. These high-affinity neutralizing monoclonal antibodies were obtained from the screening of enriched B cell libraries from individuals who have recently recovered from COVID-19 (i.e. from convalescent whole blood). The technologies were originally developed by a research team affiliated withEast China Normal University, one of the most prestigious universities in China. The acquisition includes an undisclosed upfront cash payment and low double-digit future revenue sharing for the monoclonal antibody drug candidates under development. ThermoGenesis currently holds approximately 19% of the equity of ImmuneCyte.

There are currently no regulatory approved vaccine or drug therapies for COVID-19. Current estimates are that a vaccine for emergency use may be available by early 2021. Convalescent plasma therapy is an exploratory approach that involves giving patients an infusion of plasma from people who have recovered from COVID-19. ThermoGenesis is developing a convalescent plasma strategy for COVID-19 with its SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) IgM/IgG Antibody Fast Detection Kit, which, together with ImmuneCyte's newly acquired technologies, can quickly identify individuals who have developed protective immunity against the virus, and then, using ThermoGenesis' proprietary cell processing platform, allows for the simultaneous isolation of convalescent plasma and immune cells for potential anti-COVID-19 antibody development.

The key effectors in convalescent plasma are neutralizing antibodies, which can block the entrance of the virus into the cells, thus achieving its anti-viral effects. Purified neutralizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies could be safer and more potent and are expected to have much higher efficacy than convalescent plasma. With the acquisition of these key intellectual property technologies, ImmuneCyte will be further engaged in the development of anti-COVID-19 polyclonal and monoclonal neutralizing antibodies for COVID-19 treatment.

"The technologies acquired from a team associated with the world's leading institute in biological research will allow us to spearhead our antibody drug development against COVID-19," Chris Xu, Ph.D, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis, commented, "Given the gravity of the situation, both ThermoGenesis and ImmuneCyte are rapidly mobilizing our respective expertise and resources to fight against the pandemic. The acquisition of the new technologies by ImmuneCyte, along with ThermoGenesis' established proprietary technologies in the automated cellular processing field, will allow us to develop highly efficient processing methods for making convalescent plasma and pursue the development of fully human polyclonal and monoclonal antibody therapies against COVID-19."

citybizlist : Washington DC : Orgenesis To Acquire Assets of Tamir Biotechnology – Citybizlist Real Estate

GERMANTOWN, Md., April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orgenesis Inc. (NASDAQ: ORGS), a pioneering, global biotech company committed to lowering costs, accelerating commercialization, and transforming the delivery of cell and gene therapies (CGTs), announces it has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Tamir Biotechnology, Inc, including ranpirnase, TamirBios broad spectrum anti-viral platform. The acquisition will be completed for total stock and cash consideration valued at approximately $19 million, based on the value of the stock at closing. Orgenesis plans to combine ranpirnase with its co-developed Bioxome technology for enhanced payload delivery directly to cells.

TamirBio is a clinical stage anti-viral therapeutics company engaged in the discovery and development of a new class of prophylactic and therapeutic drugs for the treatment of viruses and other pathological conditions. TamirBios lead asset, ranpirnase, a ribonuclease (RNase), is a member of the superfamily of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of RNA, and mediate several essential biological activities, including the regulation of cell proliferation, maturation, differentiation, and cell death. Therefore, it is a potential candidate for the development of therapeutics for life-threatening diseases, including viral and autoimmune diseases, that require anti-proliferative and apoptotic properties.

TamirBios first target is the human papilloma virus (HPV), the worldwide leading cause of genital warts. The companys lead asset, topical ranpirnase, was evaluated in a phase I/II clinical trial targeting genital warts. The phase I/II study demonstrated clear clinical effect of ranpirnase. Additional clinical trials are currently being planned.

Orgenesis and TamirBio plan to combine ranpirnase with Bioxomes, which have demonstrated the ability to fuse with cell membranes and deliver an intracellular cargo, in a similar manner to natural exosomes. Bioxomes can carry selected therapeutic cargo inside the target cells when loaded with predesignated genetic material, proteins, signaling molecules and drugs, as these mimic the natural membrane fusion capacity of exosomes. Orgenesis and TamirBio believe the combination of the two platforms will result in enhanced efficacy and anti-viral results.

Vered Caplan, CEO of Orgenesis, said, Combining TamirBios broad antiviral platform, ranpirnase, with Bioxomes could result in an enhanced payload delivery into cells. In independent third-party testing, ranpirnase has shown anti-viral activity in multiple viruses. Additionally, over 1,000 patients have been dosed with ranpirnase in previous cancer/mesothelioma clinical trials. Ranpirnase demonstrated a strong safety and tolerability profile that should help accelerate the approval pathway. We believe combining ranpirnase with the Bioxome platform has the potential to become a potent and powerful combination given the natural intracellular trafficking abilities of Bioxomes. We look forward to testing a variety of additional anti-viral therapies in the near future.

We are honored to combine forces with Orgenesis to advance this powerful platform, stated, Jamie Sulley, President of TamirBio. Ranpirnase has already demonstrated preclinical antiviral activity in such viral diseases as HPV, HIV, Ebola, and SARS. Not only do we believe Orgenesis will help advance ranpirnase through the clinic using their global development platform, but by combining ranpirnase with the Bioxome technology, we believe we can deliver ranpirnase through a more effective delivery mechanism.

About OrgenesisOrgenesis is a pioneering global biotech company which is unlocking the full potential of personalized therapies and closed processing systems through its Cell & Gene Therapy Biotech Platform, with the ultimate aim of providing life changing treatments at the Point of Care to large numbers of patients at low cost. The Platform consists of: (a) POCare Therapeutics, a pipeline of licensed cell and gene therapies (CGTs), and proprietary scientific knowhow; (b) POCare Technologies, a suite of proprietary and in-licensed technologies which are engineered to create customized processing systems for affordable point of care therapies; and (c) POCare Network, a collaborative, international ecosystem of leading research institutes and hospitals committed to clinical development and supply of CGTs at the point of care.
