Research Roundup: Why Kids Have More Protection Against COVID-19 & More – BioSpace

COVID-19 came with plenty of mysteries, some of which have been resolved, and many that haven't. One mystery since the beginning of the pandemic was why children seemed much less susceptible to the virus than adults. For that and more research news, continue reading.

Why Kids May Have More Protection Against COVID-19

Generally, children are less at risk of COVID-19 infection than adults - not immune, but less likely to be infected and less likely to have severe disease. But why?

Researchers at theUniversity of Queensland, Australia,suggestthat children's nasal lining, or the nasal epithelium, inhibits infection and replication, particularly of the original Wuhan wild-type strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the Delta variant. However, the Omicron variant and its subvariants do not seem to have the same issue. They published their research inPLOS Biology.

"We have provided the first experimental evidence that the pediatric nasal epithelium may play an important role in reducing the susceptibility of children to SARS-CoV-2," the authors wrote. "The data strongly suggest that the nasal epithelium of children is distinct and that it may afford children some level of protection from ancestral SARS-CoV-2."

They found that the wild-type virus replicated less efficiently and was linked to an increased antiviral response in the nasal epithelial cells of children. The effect was also seen with the Delta variant, but not with the Omicron. They also found that Omicron replicated better in pediatric nasal epithelial cells than the wildtype or Delta, although they caution that this was a small study and may reflect how the virus is evolving.

New Molecules Discovered for Treating Age-Related Diseases

Researchers at theHebrew University of Jerusalemhaveidentifieda group of molecules that help cells repair damaged components. Impaired mitophagy is associated with various aging-associated diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as sarcopenia.

Augmenting mitophagy, where defective mitochondria are removed and replaced by new ones, is an emerging strategy for treating the elderly. The researchers designed and tested a family of compounds related to spermidine, a known mitophagy-promoting agent. A prototype, 1,8-diaminooctane (VL-004), was better than spermidine in its ability to induce mitophagy and protect against oxidative stress.

The researchwas publishedin the journalAutophagy. The researchers founded a biotech company, Vitalunga, that is working to develop the drug.

Unique Subset of Immune Cells Protects Against Stroke

A study from theUniversity of Pittsburgfounda subset of white blood cells, a novel subset of CD8+ regulatory-like T cells (CD8+TRLs), that appear to confer fast-acting and lasting protection against ischemic stroke in mice.

These cells were attracted to the site of ischemic injury by a unique "homing" signal produced by the damaged brain cells. The CD8+TRLs reached the brain 24 hours after the stroke, then released molecules that provide direct neuroprotective effects and knock down inflammation and secondary brain damage.

In the mice studies, the animals who received a transfusion of purified CD8+TRLs did better and recovered faster than the untreated mice over five weeks. The CD8+TRLs appear to act as early responders to alert and recruit defenses after a stroke.

Gene Therapy Shows Promise in ALS

Researchers at theUniversity of California San DiegoSchool of Medicinereportthat gene therapy in animal models of ALS measurably delayed disease onset. Although most ALS cases are of unknown cause, the mouse and rat models were of an inherited form of ALS.

The therapy involved an AAV-vector carrying synapsin-Caveolin-1 cDNA into the spinal cords of the mice. The SynCav1 protected and preserved spinal cord motor neurons and added to the mice's longevity. They speculate that SynCav1 might serve as novel gene therapy for ALS and other forms of CNS disease.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It is fatal, and there are no cures.

New Therapeutic Target for Colorectal Tumors

Researchers at theTokyo University of Scienceidentifieda potential new therapeutic target for colorectal tumors.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, can often lead to colorectal tumors. Innate immune receptors, such as C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), are responsible for the development of IBD. But they also play a key role in regulating gut microbiota and defending against pathogens.

One of those CLRs is a dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR), responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of the immune and skeletal systems. Working with mice, the researchers found that mice without DCIR had less colitis severity and AOM-DSS-induced colorectal tumor growth. They found that using an antibody called anti-NA2 against asialo-biantennary-N-glycans (NA2), which binds to DCIR, decreased colitis symptoms and prevented colorectal tumor growth.

Two Common Viruses Associated with Alzheimer's Disease

Astudyout ofTufts Universityand theUniversity of Oxfordstrengthened the association between specific viral infections and Alzheimer's disease. Two common viruses can lie dormant in brain cells herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV); the latter is associated with shingles and chickenpox.

Researchers leveraged 3D human tissue culture models to mimic the brain and demonstrated that VZV may activate HSV to lay the groundwork for the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. HSV-1, the primary variant of HSV, when activated, leads to the accumulation of tau and amyloid-beta proteins, which are implicated in Alzheimer's disease. They published their research in theJournal of Alzheimer's Disease.

"Our results suggest one pathway to Alzheimer's disease, caused by a VZV infection which creates inflammatory triggers that awaken HSV in the brain," Dana Cairns, Ph.D., GBS12, a research associate in the Biomedical Engineering Department at Tufts, said. "While we demonstrated a link between VZV and HSV-1 activation, it's possible that other inflammatory events in the brain could also awaken HSV-1 and lead to Alzheimer's Disease."

Is This Company In A Special Position Even As The COVID-19 Pandemic Affects Cell-Based Therapy Industry? – Benzinga

According toGrand View Research, the global cell therapy market was valued at $7.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5% between 2021 and 2028.

The rising number of clinical studies for cell-based therapies and investments in the industry may have a symbiotic relationship. The industry is seeing a snowballing number of ongoingclinical trialswith funding from governments and private agencies.

Theres an arguably thin line between cell and gene therapy. Cell therapy is the transfer of intact, live cells into a patient to help lessen or cure a disease, according to theAmerican Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT). The cells may originate from the patient (autologous cells) or a donor (allogeneic cells).

Gene therapy involves the transfer of genetic material, usually in a carrier or vector, and the uptake of the gene into the appropriate cells of the body. Some protocols use both gene therapy and cell therapy.

Companies are using thebuilding blocks of lifeand advanced technologies to improve the treatment of human diseases and disorders such as cancer, providing an alternative to traditionally relied-on drugs and surgical treatments.

Cell therapy companies like Longeveron Inc. LGVN, Biogen Inc. BIIB, Alzamend Neuro Inc. ALZN and Solid Biosciences Inc. SLDB, as a result, have gained attention for their progress in using living cells to treat previously incurable diseases and disorders.

COVID-19 has reportedly causedsignificant disruptionto the cell and gene therapy industry. The pandemic has exacerbated the woes of an industry thats had its fair share of challenges with the supply of materials and the manufacturing and logistics processes.

General investments also slowed for the industry as governments shifted focus to saving lives and reviving economies. But things are starting to pick up now that the pandemic is on a downward trend.

Regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been urged to be more flexible in their approval timelines to make therapies affordable. Discussions continue around access and ensuring these therapies are affordable, reimbursable and profitable for the biopharmaceutical companies that develop them.

Academic and industry collaborations are expected to continue to expand and grow with noticeable impacts on the approval of products. Partnerships among academia, global pharmaceutical companies and small biotechs are expected to continue to shape the cell and gene therapy industry.

Longeveron, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, is one example of a company in the industry that has seemingly done well even during the pandemic. The company reports developing cellular therapies for investigation in chronic aging-related and certain life-threatening conditions.

The companys lead investigational product is Lomecel-B, a cell-based therapy product, derived from culture-expanded medicinal signaling cells sourced from the bone marrow of young, healthy adult donors.

Longeveron believes using the same cells that promote formation of new blood vessels, enhance cell survival and proliferation, inhibit cell death, and modulate immune system function may result in safe and effective therapies for some of the most difficult disorders associated with aging and some medical disorders.

Longeveron is sponsoring Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in the following indications: Aging frailty, Alzheimers disease, metabolic syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome and hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

The companys mission is to advance Lomecel-B and other cell-based product candidates into pivotal Phase 3 trials to achieve regulatory approvals, subsequent commercialization and broad use by the healthcare community.

OHSU advancing first-of-its-kind strategy to overcome infertility – OHSU News

OHSU researchers will receive a grant to helpadvance a first-of-its-kind method to turn an individuals skin cell into an egg, with the potential to produce viable embryos. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have received significant philanthropic support to advance a first-of-its-kind method to turn an individuals skin cell into an egg, with the potential to produce viable embryos.

The technique, initially demonstrated in mice, could eventually provide a new avenue for child-bearing among couples unable to produce viable eggs of their own.

Paula Amato, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the OHSU School of Medicine, andShoukhrat Mitalipov, Ph.D., director of the OHSU Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)

Even though the proof of concept in mice shows promise, significant challenges remain to be resolved before the technique could be ready for clinical trials under strict ethical and scientific oversight. Even then, Congress currently precludes the Food and Drug Administration from providing oversight for clinical trials involving genetic modification of human embryos.

Shoukhrat Mitalipov, Ph.D., (OHSU)

It will take probably a decade before we can say were ready, said Shoukhrat Mitalipov, Ph.D., director of the OHSU Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy. The science behind it is complex, but we think were on the right path.

This type of research is not funded by the National Institutes of Health, so it depends on philanthropic support. For this project, Open Philanthropy awarded $4 million over three years through the OHSU Foundation.

Paula Amato, M.D. (OHSU)

Paula Amato, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the OHSU School of Medicine, sees the potential for an enormous benefit to families struggling to have children if the technique proves successful.

Age-related decline in fertility remains an intractable problem in our field, especially as women are delaying childbearing, said Amato, who is the principal investigator for the grant award.

The technique holds promise for helping families to have genetically related children, a cohort that includes women unable to produce viable eggs because of age or other causes, including previous treatment for cancer. It also raises the possibility of men in same-sex relationships having children genetically related to both partners.

The skin cell can come from somebody who doesnt have any eggs themselves, Amato said. The biggest implication is for female, age-related infertility. It can also come from women with premature ovarian insufficiency due to cancer treatment or genetic conditions, or from men who would be able to produce a genetically related child with a male partner.

The award from Open Philanthropy will enable OHSU researchers to develop the technique in early human embryos using eggs and sperm from research donors. As with other groundbreaking research at OHSU including a gene-editing discovery that generated worldwide attention in 2017 none of the early embryos will be allowed to develop past the early blastocyst stage.

Researchers will build on a study in mice published this January in the journal Communications Biology.

The study demonstrated that it is possible to produce normal eggs by transplanting skin-cell nuclei into donor eggs from which the nuclei have been removed. Known as somatic cell nuclear transfer, the technique was famously used in 1997 to clone a sheep in Scotland named Dolly. In contrast to a direct clone of one parent, the mouse study published earlier this year required OHSU and collaborating scientists to cut the donor DNA in half and then fertilize the resulting egg with sperm to generate a viable embryo with chromosomes from both parents.

The process involves implanting the skin cell nuclei into a donor egg, and then allowing the egg to discard half its skin cell chromosomes a process similar to meiosis, when cells divide to produce sperm or egg cells. This results in a haploid egg with a single set of chromosomes with precisely half the chromosomes of the diploid skin cell with two sets of chromosomes. At just the right phase of the cell cycle, the new egg is combined with sperm chromosomes through in vitro fertilization.

An embryo then develops with the correct diploid number of chromosomes from each parent.

We had to show in the mouse that this hypothesis works, Mitalipov said. Open Philanthropy saw the implications for fertility with a new way of looking into this. The key is inducing haploidy.

Secrecy: A demon of gene therapy’s past bedevils its future – STAT

Twenty-three years ago, the field of gene therapy was bursting with the promise of breakthrough treatments. Then it was almost instantly derailed by the death of an 18-year-old clinical trial volunteer named Jesse Gelsinger after he received a genetically engineered virus that had been developed to treat his rare liver condition.

An FDA investigation revealed that the principal investigator and/or the team running the gene therapy trial at the University of Pennsylvania failed to disclose that before Gelsinger was treated, other patients had experienced alarming side effects and that monkeys administered the same engineered virus had died. The incident, coupled with dangerous outcomes involving other gene therapy treatments, had a chilling effect on the field and investors backed away.

Today, new approaches to gene therapy that include advances driven by CRISPR gene editing tools are raising hopes of a gene therapy revival. There are potential breakthroughs in the pipeline, including treatments for different types of cancer and sickle cell disease.

advertisement

Im concerned that gene therapy 2.0 is at risk of making the same mistakes that plagued the 1.0 version. Most notably, exciting work to translate gene therapy advances into safe, effective, and commercially viable treatments are at risk of being undermined by a reluctance to share data.

Im not saying that the field is on the verge of something analogous to the tragedy experienced in 1999. But the road to such extremes can be paved with a series of lesser nondisclosures that inhibit the free flow of scientific data essential for assessing potential risks long before treatments are given to people.

advertisement

I saw an example in May at the annual meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy. A presenter was discussing a new approach for using gene therapy to treat a rare genetic disorder called Leber congenital amaurosis that causes blindness in children. The presenter discussed experiments in mice that involved disabling or deleting certain segments of a gene linked to the disorder, and this treatment appeared to at least slow the process of vision loss.

Assessing the safety and effectiveness of this potentially exciting advance requires knowing which regions of the gene were being modified. But when someone in the audience asked for more details, the presenter indicated that the information was proprietary and he would not disclose that. The exasperated questioner pointed out that the presenters approach was all about deleting [a segment of a gene], but you dont say what you are deleting. The response? Silence.

Tinkering with a particular genes function, even when the goal is to stop it from doing harmful things, can be risky. Knowing which region of a gene is being altered is essential for determining if solving one problem might create an even bigger one. For example, I and other scientists are interested in the potential of using CRISPR gene editing tools to disable a gene called nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), which produces a protein that protects a certain type of lung cancer tumor from the effects of chemotherapy or radiation. But that same gene confers a range of health benefits, such as withstanding toxic insults like nicotine or radiation or heat stress, and a poorly targeted edit might do more harm than good.

I am also regularly seeing a failure to disclose important details, like studies that use several strains of mice in a gene therapy experiment without clarifying which strain was linked to a particular result. That can make it difficult, or even impossible, to conduct a fundamental exercise in science: reproduce the results of other investigators. Reproducibility is a problem across all areas of science. But the stakes are higher in the fragile world of gene therapy, where investigators need to be doing all they can to protect patient safety.

My initial thoughts about the presenter who was loquacious in describing his success with gene therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis but quiet about revealing his methods was simply, If you arent willing to share your full information, dont present at scientific conferences.

I am not against protecting intellectual property or patenting biotechnology advances. Properly used, these strategies help attract investment that accelerates the search for transformative treatments. But researchers shouldnt come to a place where they benefit from everyone else freely sharing their findings but then refuse to reciprocate.

My broader message is that the field of gene therapy was once severely damaged by not sharing data that may have been able to prevent a young man from losing his life. Transparency in gene therapy research which can be accomplished without compromising commercial prospects is vital to success. One high-profile failure would badly hurt the revival of gene therapy; two would send it back into hibernation.

When everyone embraces transparency, all of our projects are likely to advance faster toward safe and effective treatments and everyone wins: scientists, investors and, most importantly, the people who could benefit from gene therapy.

The Importance of Patient Centricity in Clinical Research and Cell / Gene Therapy Development – Contract Pharma

Recently, a patient centricity concept has spread across all corners of the healthcare community with a straightforward goal: to improve and save patients lives through innovative and effective drug therapies adapted to patients' individual needs. However, for this concept to truly come to life, it is necessary to count on temperature-controlled supply chain logisticslike CRYOPDP to turn what could be a complex operation into a highly efficient process. This is extremely vital, because a patients life could literally be on the line with every shipment.Patient centricity in the clinical trial community involves meeting the patients where they are.The clinical trial industry is globalising and demands international healthcare logistics partners that can serve its growing and continuously evolving needs. For decades, temperature-controlled logistics experts have operated behind the scenes with patients barely aware of the hard work that went into their medicines journey. Thanks to the Covid-19 vaccine distributions impressive performance and its universal effect on people's health across the globe, it has become apparent to the world just how critical and important a logistics providers mission is for both patients and the industry.The endless pandemic lockdowns meant that patients could not travel to hospital sites for clinical trials due to travel and access restrictions. This led to a seismic shift where sponsors quickly moved to a direct-to-patient model to try to continue trials and keep patient treatments on schedule. As part of our response to this unique situation, CRYOPDP as a specialist in temperature-controlled logistics, with the mission to improve people's healthcare options, had to go further and dive deeper to better understand customers perceptions of the impact of the pandemic and work with them to provide those options.With the patient always at the centre of its business and considering the huge development of decentralised clinical trials, the development and implementation of a new service such as Direct-to-Patientseems to be the most natural evolution for CRYOPDP. We have been offering this turnkey solution completely adapted to patients needs, with the same efficiency and total peace of mind, to the benefit of many customers.This model makes life a lot easier for patients and their families, as they dont have to make multiple trips to a clinic or hospital that is potentially a great distance from their home. It is also beneficial for patients who may be too ill to travel, as well as saves patients time and money.Because of these benefits, the direct-to-patient model has increased clinical trial recruitment by up to 60 percent and helped to maintain patient retention by over 95 percent. Drug developers can also gain access to a larger patient population by onboarding those who are not located near participating hospitals or clinics.Patient centricity becomes more evident with the new generation of cell and gene therapies.From day one, CRYOPDP temperature-controlled logistics solutions have always been essential to improve and save patients lives. But, when speaking about cell and gene therapies in particular, this gains an even more significant meaning.The increase in personalised medicine, advanced therapies, and improved access to healthcare in the developing world are influencing future supply chain solutions development. Cell and gene therapies are enabling the healthcare community to shift the arrow and think about patients in a whole new way.Cell and gene therapies demand rigorous and precise temperature control to ensure that the therapies maintain their viability. And maintaining temperature control calls for flawless implementation and execution.From designing the best transportation route to selecting the correct packaging, every detail is critical to keep product integrity high under all conditions, and for this to happen, the healthcare community can count on CRYOPDP specialists who can meticulously handle the entire supply chain process. We've been supporting the life sciences and healthcare communities and focused on improving patient centricity with innovative temperature-controlled logistics solutions because thinking about the patient and the outcome of our work is what moves and inspires us to be better every day.

In all the geographies of the world that we cover, around 150 countries, we produce an operational performance of 99.96%. And to deliver such operational performance, we count on our employees, the specialists around the globe, to follow our quality standards and protocols in detail, so we can deliver a quality service.

When dealing with patients lives, there is no room for errors. Its all about quality of service making sure that lifesaving samples are distributed on time, within the correct specifications and at the right temperature to ensure the patient's health is never compromised.This commitment has helped CRYOPDP to win numerous industry awards, including Best Clinical Trial Logistics Provider in APAC at the Bioprocessing Excellence Awards 2021 and Most Advanced Healthcare Solution Providers from Europe 2021 by Healthcare Insights Magazine.Our achievements are being recognised across the industry, and as we continue to improve our services for healthcare communities, it will be the end patient that benefits the most.

About Hemophilia A

People living with hemophilia A lack sufficient functioning Factor VIII protein to help their blood clot and are at risk for painful and/or potentially life-threatening bleeds from even modest injuries. Additionally, people with the most severe form of hemophilia A (FVIII levels <1%) often experience painful, spontaneous bleeds into their muscles or joints. Individuals with the most severe form of hemophilia A make up approximately 50 percent of the hemophilia A population. People with hemophilia A with moderate (FVIII 1-5%) or mild (FVIII 5-40%) disease show a much-reduced propensity to bleed. The standard of care for individuals with severe hemophilia A is a prophylactic regimen of replacement Factor VIII infusions administered intravenously up to two to three times per week or 100 to 150 infusions per year. Despite these regimens, many people continue to experience breakthrough bleeds, resulting in progressive and debilitating joint damage, which can have a major impact on their quality of life.

Hemophilia A, also called Factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia, is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by missing or defective Factor VIII, a clotting protein. Although it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of cases are caused by a spontaneous mutation, a new mutation that was not inherited. Approximately 1 in 10,000 people have Hemophilia A.

Automating the Genomic Medicines of the Future – Bio-IT World

Contributed Commentary by Per Hammer, Cytiva

July 15, 2022 | Historically, the heavily regulated biopharma industry has been slow to adopt new technologies. However, a shift toward automation is vital to ensure that next-generation solutionssuch as cell and gene therapiesare produced at scale.

Less than one in five senior pharma executives strongly believe that frontier technologies, such as artificial intelligence, are widely adopted to support automation and increase the speed of specific processes. With cell therapies approved by global regulatory bodies, it is time to accelerate smart technologies and cell and gene therapy manufacturing.

Todays cell therapy treatments are often made on a small-scale, include manual preparation steps, and are produced for a clinical trial setting. Researchers spend days processing cellular material, monitoring its growth during the expansion phase, and preparing for re-administration to the patient. This process is demonstrated in administering autologous treatments so that every patient receives a unique living drug.

Though the current process is complex, it offers inspiring outcomes. For example, on April 1, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Kite Pharmas Yescarta, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma. This kind of cancer is usually resistant to initial treatment and relapses within one year. With FDA approval, Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) is now the second-line treatment, a first for an autologous CAR T-cell therapy.

Cell Therapy Enters Mainstream

The exceptional results emerging from cell therapy clinical trials suggest we are entering a new phase of medical treatmentone where we can expect far more from our healthcare interventions than we ever imagined. Following the regulatory approval of autologous CAR T-cell therapies, the global cancer treatment landscape is changing, and the future is bright.

The success of COVID-19 vaccines signaled the arrival of the genomic medicines ageone where we hope to see cell and gene therapies deliver long-term remission and even cures for patients with some of the most complex diseases. According to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine 2021 Annual Report, nearly 60% of the ongoing regenerative medicine clinical trials studied prevalent diseases by the end of the calendar year. But to get these powerful treatments to those who need them, we must have an automated manufacturing infrastructure that can generate cell therapies to meet increased demand in the coming years.

Saving Time Through Automation

Time is of the utmost importance, as biopharma manufacturing involves patient cells that have limited viability. Manual approaches to cell therapy production are time-consuming, and tasks such as checking cells at regular intervals during expansion are laborious. Another time-draining factor is the workflow and cleaning routines involved in maintaining a safe lab environment.

Automated solutions reduce or remove many of these challenges. After setting up a process, an operator can focus on other things while critical parameters such as temperature, pH level, gas transfer, and flow rates are monitored and controlled without human intervention.

Reducing Risks for Better Results

Manual cell processing solutions are complex, with many checkpoints across isolation, expansion, harvesting, and preservation stages. Unfortunately, each of these steps increases the risk potential. Despite the research teams expertise, there is still a chance that materials could be inadvertently contaminated during numerous open stages.

Additionally, limited process control can lead to difficulties in achieving high reproducibility. An automated modular solution minimizes these risks by bringing multiple steps within a closed, highly regulated, and controlled system.

Improving Manufacturing Efficiency

Changing a manufacturing process requires multiple manual routines and adjustments that must be checked and documented. However, documentation and protocols are less helpful when a customized process is used because they only apply to that specific setup.

Standardization would effectively improve manufacturing efficiency. This approach would ensure that what is learned in one project can be referenced in future work, with data and documentation applicable across different technology applications. A modular chain of connected systems allows for process variation with instruments running in customized configurations. Additionally, having control of an individual instrument leads to the straightforward use of built-in software and sensors.

Automated Manufacturing: The Way Forward for Cell and Gene Therapy

By using automated manufacturing to minimize human interaction, time, and resource requirements, it is possible to increase production speed and lower some risks and costs associated with commercialization.

The industry is ever-changing and adjusting its complex, yet exciting challenges will take some time. However, automation can create a significant advantage over competitors, providing the tools needed to produce cell therapies with the highest levels of safety and efficacy for patients.

Automating the Genomic Medicines of the Future - Bio-IT World

Adverum Biotechnologies Presents Best-Corrected Visual Acuity and Central Subfield Thickness Analyses After a Single IVT Injection of ADVM-022…

- Study participants had an 81%-98% reduction in annualized anti-VEGF injections and demonstrated continuous aflibercept expression levels through three years

- Mean best-corrected visual acuity and central subfield thickness were maintained or improved in subjects treated with ADVM-022

-The Phase 2 LUNA trial is expected to dose the first subject in the third quarter of 2022 and preliminary data anticipated throughout 2023

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adverum Biotechnologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ADVM), a clinical-stage company that aims to establish gene therapy as a new standard of care for highly prevalent ocular diseases, today announced new data from the OPTIC study treating wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) during the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 2022 Annual Meeting. New data presented are as of February 24, 2022 and include best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfield thickness (CST) maintenance, as well as reduction in CST fluctuation after a single, in-office intravitreal (IVT) injection of ADVM-022, ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec), in subjects requiring frequent anti-VEGF injections for their wet AMD.

We are pleased to present our findings on BCVA and CST from the OPTIC trial, establishing that maintenance in both BCVA and CST, as well as a reduction in CST fluctuations, were sustained through at least two years, suggesting the long-term durability of Ixo-vec after a single IVT injection, stated Richard Beckman, M.D., chief medical officer at Adverum Biotechnologies. As several publications have recently highlighted, retinal CST fluctuations over time are associated with poor long-term visual outcomes for patients. The combination of durable maintenance of BCVA and reduced CST fluctuations in subjects who previously required frequent IVT injections further support our belief that Ixo-vec can provide better long-term benefit for wet AMD patients. We are excited by the possibility of extending the treatment benefit for this lifelong disease from the order of months to the order of years.

Data Highlights as of February 24, 2022

We are excited to present these encouraging data, showing continuous and stable aflibercept expression for over three years in our OPTIC trial in subjects with wet AMD, commented Laurent Fischer, M.D., president and chief executive officer at Adverum Biotechnologies. As we recently announced, we completed our IND amendment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, received European Medicines Agency PRIME designation, and are preparing to initiate the Phase 2 LUNA trial of Ixo-vec in wet AMD. The LUNA trial was designed after a detailed data review from all 55 participants treated to date with a single ADVM-022 injection. Four new enhanced prophylactic steroid regimens will be evaluated in LUNA with the aim of providing steroid coverage during the period of peak immunogenicity. Our goal is to enhance the safety profile of ADVM-022 while building upon the impressive efficacy profile we continue to see in the OPTIC trial. We plan to dose the first subjects in the third quarter of 2022 and anticipate preliminary data from LUNA throughout 2023 and look forward to providing more detail on the expected timeline once we can assess the pace of enrollment.

The LUNA trial is a multicenter, double-masked, randomized, parallel-group Phase 2 trial evaluating two doses of Ixo-vec, including 2E11 and a new, lower 6x10^10 vg/eye (6E10) dose, in up to 72 patients with wet AMD. The LUNA trial will assess four new enhanced prophylactic steroid regimens, including local steroids and combinations of local and systemic steroids to test the relative contribution of local versus systemic AAV exposure on ocular inflammation. Specific regimens include topical difluprednate (Durezol), IVT Ozurdex, or a combination of either topical Durezol or IVT Ozurdex with oral prednisone.

The trial will randomize the participants equally between the 2E11 and 6E10 Ixo-vec doses across four prophylactic steroid regimens and will be conducted at approximately 40 sites in the U.S. and Europe. The primary endpoints will be similar to the OPTIC trial and focus on mean change in BCVA and CST from baseline to one year, and incidence and severity of adverse events. Other data points will include protein expression of aflibercept starting at 10 weeks and an interim analysis at 26 weeks. The study will also evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of the prophylactic steroid regimens.

As an investigator in OPTIC, I have observed the potential of ADVM-022 to significantly reduce the treatment burden for my patients with neovascular age-relatedmacular degeneration. In the latest data from the OPTIC trial, we have seen a manageable safety profile, robust aflibercept expression, and sustained anatomical improvements after two years following a single 2E11 dose of ADVM-022, said Dante Pieramici, M.D., partner, California Retina Consultants, and presenter of the data at ASRS. I look forward to participating as a LUNA investigator and building on the efficacy and safety profile in OPTIC with a new, lower 6E10 dose and to determine an optimal prophylactic steroid regimen for patients.

About Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Wet AMD, also known as neovascular AMD or nAMD, is an advanced form of AMD, affecting approximately 10% of patients living with AMD. Wet AMD is a leading cause of blindness in patients over 65 years of age, with a prevalence of approximately 20 million individuals worldwide living with this condition. The incidence of new cases of wet AMD is expected to grow significantly worldwide as populations age. AMD is expected to impact 288 million people worldwide by 2040, with wet AMD accounting for approximately 10% of those cases.

About OPTIC Trial of ADVM-022 in Wet AMD

ADVM-022 is Adverums clinical-stage gene therapy product candidate being developed for the treatment of wet AMD. ADVM-022 utilizes a propriety vector capsid, AAV.7m8, carrying an aflibercept coding sequence under the control of a proprietary expression cassette. Unlike other ophthalmic gene therapies that require a surgery to administer the gene therapy under the retina (sub-retinal approach), ADVM-022 has the advantage of being administered as a one-time IVT injection in the office and is designed to deliver long-term efficacy and reduce the burden of frequent anti-VEGF injections, optimize patient compliance, and improve vision outcomes for patients with wet AMD.

The OPTIC trial is designed as a multi-center, open-label, dose-ranging, safety and efficacy trial of ADVM-022 in patients with wet AMD who have demonstrated responsiveness to anti-VEGF treatment. Patients in OPTIC are treatment-experienced, and previously required frequent anti-VEGF injections to manage their wet AMD and to maintain functional vision.

Will 100 Million Die From the COVID Vax by 2028? – The Epoch Times

Via this genetic engineering experiment, theyve literally injected seeds of demise into everyday people like a cockroach spray. Based on a 2011 estimate, he believes an extra 700 million will be killed from this bioweapon and theyve known about the risks since 2005.

In this revealing interview with Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com, David Martin, Ph.D., presents evidence that COVID-19 injections are not vaccines but bioweapons that are being used as a form of genocide across the global population.1

In March 2022, Martin filed a federal lawsuit against President Biden, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services alleging that COVID-19 shots turn the body into a biological weapons factory, manufacturing spike protein. Not only is the term vaccination misleading when referring to COVID-19 shots, its inaccurate since they are actually a form of gene therapy.2

And we are not only not going to be sued for, you know, any libel or misinformation, we are actually holding people criminally accountable for their domestic terrorism, their crimes against humanity and the story of the coronavirus weaponization that goes back to 1998, Martin says.3

Martin has been in the business of tracking patent applications and approvals since 1998. His company, M-Cam International Innovation Risk Management, is the worlds largest underwriter of intangible assets used in finance in 168 countries. M-Cam has also monitored biological and chemical weapons treaty violations on behalf of the U.S. government, following the anthrax scare in September 2001.4

According to Martin, there are more than 4,000 patents relating to the SARS coronavirus. His company has also done a comprehensive review of the financing of research involving the manipulation of coronaviruses that gave rise to SARS as a subclade of the beta coronavirus family.

Much of the research was funded by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci.5Martin explained:6

I think its important for your listeners and viewers to remember that it was 1999 when Anthony Fauci and Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill decided to start weaponizing coronavirus they patented in 2002 and you heard that date correctly, thats a year before the SARS outbreak in China.

You know, they knew it was a bioweapon since 2005. They knew it was effective at harming populations, intimidating and coercing populations

According to Martin, the spike protein that the COVID-19 shots manufacture is a computer simulation of a chimera of the spike protein of coronavirus. It is, in fact, not a coronavirus vaccine. It is a spike protein instruction to make the human body produce a toxin, and that toxin has been scheduled as a known biologic agent of concern with respect to biological weapons for the last now decade and a half, he said.7

Rather than being a public health measure as they were widely campaigned to be, COVID-19 shots are an act of bioweapons and bioterrorism. Martin shared that in 2015, Dr. Peter Daszak, head of the EcoHealth Alliance that funneled research dollars from the NIAID to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for coronavirus research, stated:8

We need to increase public understanding of the need for medical countermeasures such as a pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media and the economics will follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage, to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process.

Daszak, who Martin refers to as the money launderer in chief, actually stated that this entire exercise was a campaign of domestic terror to get the public to accept the universal vaccine platform using a known biological weapon. And that is their own words, not my interpretation, Martin said.9

Both Pfizer and Modernas COVID-19 shots contain nucleic acid sequences that are not part of nature and have not been previously introduced to the human body. This amounts to a genetic engineering experiment that did not go through animal studies or clinical trials.

However, already people are dying from the shots and, Martin states, many more will due to issues such as blood clots, damage to the cardiovascular system and problems with liver, kidney and pulmonary function.10

An onslaught of reproductive and cancer cases related to the shots are also anticipated. The fact of the matter is an enormous number of people who are injected are already carrying the seeds of their own demise, Martin said.11As for how many may die, Martin believes the numbers may have been revealed back in 2011, when the World Health Organization announced their decade of vaccination:12

Based on their own 2011 estimate, and this is a chilling estimate, but we just have to put it out there When the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Chinese CDC, the Jeremy Farrar Wellcome Trust and others published The Decade of Vaccination for the World Health Organization back in 2011 their stated objective was a population reduction of 15% of the worlds population.

Put that in perspective, thats about 700 million people dead and that would put the U.S. participation in that certainly as a pro rata of injected population somewhere between 75 and 100 million people.

When asked what timeframe these people may die in, Martin suggested theres a lot of economic reasons why people hope that its between now and 2028.13This is because of a tiny little glitch on the horizon the projected illiquidity of the Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid programs by 2028.

So the fewer people who are recipients of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the better, Martin said. Not surprisingly, its probably one of the motivations that led to the recommendation that people over the age of 65 were the first ones getting injected.14Other populations at risk are caregivers, including health care providers, and others in the workforce who were forced to be injected, such as pilots.

Why is it that were suddenly having 700 flights a day being canceled because, allegedly, airlines dont have pilots? the dirty secret is there a lot of pilots who are having microvascular problems and clotting problems, and that keeps them out of the cockpit, which is a good place to not have them if theyre going to throw a clot for a stroke or a heart attack,Martin said.

But the problem is were going to start seeing that exact same phenomenon in the health care industry and at a much larger scale, which means we now have, in addition to the problem of the actual morbidity and mortality, meaning people getting sick and people dying.

We actually have that targeting the health care industry writ large, which means we are going to have doctors and nurses who are going to be among the sick and the dead. And that means that the sick and the dying also do not get care.15

Its been stressed by the media and public health officials that COVID-19 shots do not alter DNA. However, Martin brings attention to a little-known grant from the National Science Foundation, known as Darwinian chemical systems,16which involved research to incorporate mRNA into targeted genomes. According to Martin:17

Moderna was started on the back of a 10-year National Science Foundation grant. And that grant was called Darwinian chemical systems the project that gave rise to the Moderna company itself was a project where they were specifically figuring out how to get mRNA to write itself into the genome of whatever target they were going after.

That could be a single-celled organism, it could be a multi-celled organism or it could be a human. And the fact of the matter is Moderna was started on the back of having proven that mRNA can be transfected and write itself into the human genome.

It is completely unknown what the short- or long-term effects of the spike protein analog thats inside people who received COVID-19 injections will be. But with respect to alteration of the genome, Martin states that data show mRNA has the capacity to write into the DNA of humans, and as such, the long-term effects are not going to merely be symptomatic. The long-term effects are going to be the human genome of injected individuals is going to be altered.18

The 2001 anthrax attack, which came out of medical and defense research, led to the passage of the PREP Act, which removed liability for manufacturers of emergency medical countermeasures.

This means that as long as the U.S. is under a state of emergency, things like COVID-19 vaccines are allowed under emergency use authorization. And as long as the emergency use authorization is in effect, the makers of these experimental gene therapies are not financially liable for any harm that comes from their use.

That is, provided theyre vaccines. If these injections are NOT vaccines, then the liability shield falls away, because there is no liability shield for a medical emergency countermeasure that is gene therapy. Further, lawsuits that can prove the companies engaged in fraud will also negate the liability shield. Martin states:19

One of the convenient things about the PREP Act is the immunity shield from liability actually is only as good as the absence of fraud. Because if there was fraud in the promulgation of the events, leading to an emergency use authorization, then all of the immunity shield gets wiped out.

So the reason why it is so important for conversations like the one were having to actually be promoted and be advanced is because the pharmaceutical companies and this includes Pfizer and Moderna and J&J know they are perpetuating a fraud. The great thing about this is when that fraud is established, 100% of the liability flows back to them.

when a fraud was the basis for a fraud, then we actually have a number of other legal remedies that allow you to pierce that veil. So in the end, theres no question and its quite evident based on the current mortality and morbidity data that given the fact that when it comes to biological weapons and bioterror each count comes with $100 million penalty. Thats what the federal statute gives us.

The penalty for corporate domestic terrorism, when you have per count $100 million a pop liabilities that is an existential threat that takes a company like Pfizer or takes a company like Moderna out of existence. And that is what were working for every day.

If youd like to follow the progress of the ongoing legal cases seeking to expose the truth that a criminal organization is seeking to obtain control over the global population via the creation of patented bioweapons marketed as novel viruses and injections you can find all the details at ProsecuteNow.io, a website compiled by Martin and colleagues.20

CRISPR in the Classroom – The New York Times

A decade after CRISPR started to become a major tool in genetic research, a new generation of scientists is growing up with the technology. Even high school students are able to run CRISPR experiments. Some specialized public high schools teach CRISPR as a hands-on lesson in biotechnology. These classes cover everything from molecular biology to pipetting to biomedical ethics and career options.

Visualizing and comprehending whats happening on the molecular level is usually always the challenge, said Katy Gazda, a high school biotechnology teacher who taught CRISPR in her classroom last year. To help students better understand complex molecular movements, teachers use tools like paper models, 3-D printed models and online animations.

Note: Diagram is simplified.

1. Target the right gene

Scientists engineer a piece of RNA that is a match for the DNA they want to edit. This is called the guide RNA. Students can practice designing their own guide RNA sequences using the same free bioinformatics search tool that scientists use for research.

2. Bind the target

An enzyme called Cas9 binds to a piece of DNA and temporarily unwinds a section of the DNA. Students can model the process with paper cutouts, pushing a paper DNA sequence along a printed guide RNA until they match.

3. Cut the DNA

If the guide RNA matches a section of the DNA, the Cas9 enzyme cuts both strands of the DNA double helix. An interactive animation from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute shows students how the Cas9 enzyme changes its shape and snips through the DNA.

Note: Diagrams are simplified.

4. Repair and edit the DNA

Machinery inside the cell rushes to fix the broken DNA. One repair process uses a similar-looking, unbroken piece of DNA as a template to stitch the broken pieces back together.

Scientists can introduce tailor-made DNA into the cell tricking the repair machinery into using the engineered DNA as the template for stitching together the broken pieces.

Students also learn about real-life examples of DNA editing, such as therapies for genetic illnesses including sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis. In some exercises, they can see examples of the actual DNA sequence associated with each illness and evaluate specific gene edits proposed to cure the illness.

Ms. Gazda believes that hands-on lab lessons help students open their minds to the idea that they can truly be a scientist. Several companies sell CRISPR curriculum kits to high schools and universities. One kit from Bio-Rad, a life science technology manufacturer, includes a prepackaged experiment using E. coli bacteria.

Note: Diagrams and molecule names are simplified.

The E. coli bacteria used in the Bio-Rad kit are grown on a food mixture that includes a compound called X-gal. Normally, these bacteria are able to use an enzyme to break down the compound into two parts: a sugar molecule and an indicator molecule.

The indicator molecule turns deep blue, showing students that the bacterial enzyme is working. This colorful display is an important part of the experiment. It shows students what to expect in an unaltered, or control group a vital part of any scientific experiment.

The -gal enzyme is not produced.

The X-gal compound cannot be broken down without the -gal enzyme, so the bright blue indicator molecule is never produced.

After the students use CRISPR to transform a section of the gene, the gene is no longer functional.

The -gal enzyme is not produced. The X-gal compound cannot be broken down without the -gal enzyme, so the bright blue indicator molecule is never produced.

Note: Diagrams and molecule names are simplified.

The process of altering E. coli DNA with CRISPR involves lab techniques like pipetting liquids and carefully moving bacteria colonies. Teaching a new lab class like CRISPR can be intimidating, says Gregory Jubulis, a high school science teacher who uses the Bio-Rad kit in his biotechnology class. It takes you a few years before youre real comfortable with teaching something, he said.

But when classroom CRISPR lab kits first became available, he knew he wanted to teach it. I just want my kids to be ready for the future of science, he said.

Ms. Gazda uses lab classes as an opportunity to share career options with students. In a CRISPR lab, students may learn about careers in anything from molecular and cellular biology to entrepreneurship and science journalism.

Ethics always comes up, says Mr. Jubulis, explaining how he relates the lab experiment to real-life CRISPR applications like gene therapy. Many of his students have friends or family with genetic illnesses, so the topic can be deeply personal.

UNE researcher awarded $1.8 million to study chronic pain relief through gene therapy – University of New England

Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, yet popular treatments for pain including surgery and opioid medications can have disastrous side effects of their own. But with $1.8 million in funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a University of New England researcher will explore non-opioid treatments for chronic pain at the cellular level.

Benjamin Harrison, B.Sc., Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry and nutrition, will use the five-year R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study how to reduce the excitability of nociceptors, which are neurons that transmit pain signals in response to painful injuries.

Harrison and his team have discovered that nociceptors contain a protein called "CELF4, an RNA binding protein they theorize inhibits the production of pro-nociceptive, or pro-pain-sensing, cellular components. Harrisons research will focus on delivering CELF4 into pain neurons, where this protein will limit the synthesis of ion-channels, receptors, and other molecules that sensitize them.

Specifically, the researchers will study if a locally administered adeno-associated virus can stimulate production of CELF4 and reduce pain in those areas an approach known as gene vector therapy.

Harrison remarked that the innovative approach could prove beneficial for those living with chronic pain but who do not want to undergo surgeries which can be expensive and leave people with no sensation at all or use powerful pain-reducing medications like addictive opioids.

There are some chronic pain conditions that are simply intolerable, and people with those conditions are willing to do severe surgeries to reduce their pain, Harrison remarked. Using this novel gene therapy vector approach, we can develop pain therapies that are less invasive than surgery and carry fewer risks than conventional opioid medications.

Future directions for the research could include partnerships with clinicians for clinical trials, Harrison said.

SwanBio Presents Design of Innovative Natural History Study Aimed to Evolve Understanding of Adrenomyeloneuropathy and Inform Future Treatments -…

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SwanBio Therapeutics, a gene therapy company advancing AAV-based therapies for the treatment of devastating, inherited neurological conditions, today presented details about the companys ongoing natural history study of adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) at the 8th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) in Vienna. The intention of the CYGNET study is to assess disease progression in patients with AMN to inform the research and development of potential treatments, including SwanBios lead candidate, SBT101, the first clinical-stage AAV-based gene therapy for AMN.

At SwanBio, our approach to drug development begins with deepening our understanding of the origin and trajectory of diseases like AMN, ideally enabling us to deliver gene therapies that are both highly effective and meaningful for the quality of life of patients. With this in mind, our proprietary CYGNET study was designed to better characterize AMN disease progression, which varies from person to person, said Steven Zelenkofske, D.O., chief medical officer, SwanBio Therapeutics. CYGNET is the first AMN clinical study to feature wearables, which may help us identify sensitive outcomes related to clinically relevant changes early in men with AMN.

SwanBios CYGNET natural history study will track a number of variables over a two-year period, including:

More details about the CYGNET study, including demographics and disease characteristics of the first 21 patients enrolled, were presented during a virtual poster session at EAN.

Presentation Details ePoster EPO-599: CYGNET: A prospective multicenter observational study of disease progression in patients with adrenomyeloneuropathyDate & Time: June 27, 2022, 12:30 1:15 p.m. CEST

About SBT101 SBT101 is the first clinical-stage adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy candidate for people with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). SBT101 was designed to compensate for the disease-causing ABCD1 mutation. In preclinical studies, treatment with SBT101 demonstrated dose-dependent improvement of disease markers and functional improvement in AMN mouse models. SBT101 was also shown to be well-tolerated in non-human primates at six months post-treatment. The clinical program for SBT101 builds on this positive preclinical data, plus the companys already deep understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of the disease and the patient experience of AMN.

SwanBio expects to initiate a randomized, controlled Phase 1/2 clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of SBT101 in patients with AMN in the second half of 2022. In early 2022, the FDA cleared SwanBios Investigational New Drug application for SBT101 and granted SBT101 Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designation.

About Adrenomyeloneuropathy Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is a progressive and debilitating neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that disrupt the function of spinal cord cells and other tissues. AMN is characterized by loss of mobility in adulthood, incontinence, pain, and sexual dysfunction, which all affect quality of life. Between 8,000-10,000 men in the United States and European Union are living with AMN. There are no approved therapies for the treatment of the disease; current standard of care is limited to symptom management.

About SwanBio Therapeutics SwanBio Therapeutics is a gene therapy company that aims to bring life-changing treatments to people with devastating, inherited neurological conditions. SwanBio is advancing a pipeline of gene therapies, designed to be delivered intrathecally, that can address targets within both the central and peripheral nervous systems. This approach has the potential to be applied broadly across three disease classifications spastic paraplegias, monogenic neuropathies, and polygenic neuropathies. SwanBios lead program is being advanced toward clinical development for the treatment of adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). SwanBio is supported by long-term, committed investment partners, including its primary investors Syncona, Ltd. (lead investor and majority shareholder) and Mass General Brigham Ventures.
