Testosterone Therapy for Hypogonadism Guideline Resources …
Full Guideline: Testosterone Therapy in Men With Hypogonadism: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice GuidelineJCEM | March 2018
Shalender Bhasin, Juan P. Brito, Glenn R. Cunningham, Frances J. Hayes, Howard N. Hodis, Alvin M. Matsumoto, Peter J. Snyder, Ronald S. Swerdloff, Frederick C. Wu, Maria A. Yialamas
Differences between the 2010 and 2018 guidelines:
+1.0 Diagnosis of Hypogonadism in Men
1.1 We recommend diagnosing hypogonadism in men with symptoms and signs of testosterone deficiency and unequivocally and consistently low serum total testosterone and/or free testosteroneconcentrations (when indicated). (1 |O)
1.2 We recommend against routine screening of men in the general population for hypogonadism. (1 |OO)
1.3 In men who have hypogonadism, we recommend distinguishing between primary (testicular) and secondary (pituitaryhypothalamic) hypogonadism by measuring serum luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations. (1 |O)
1.4 In men with hypogonadism, we suggest further evaluation to identify the etiology of hypothalamic, pituitary, and/or testicular dysfunction. (2 |OO)
+2.0 Treatment of Hypogonadism with Testosterone
2.1 We recommend testosterone therapy in hypogonadal men to induce and maintain secondarysex characteristics and correct symptoms of testosterone deficiency. (1 |O)
2.2. We recommend against testosterone therapy in men planning fertility in the near term or in men with breast or prostate cancer, a palpable prostate nodule or induration, a prostate-specific antigen level >4 ng/mL, a prostate-specific antigen level >3 ng/mL combined with a high risk of prostate cancer(without further urological evaluation), elevated hematocrit, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea,severe lower urinary tract symptoms, uncontrolled heart failure, myocardial infarction or stroke withinthe last 6 months, or thrombophilia. (1 |OO)
2.3 In hypogonadal men 55 to 69 years old, who are being considered for testosterone therapy andhave a life expectancy >10 years, we suggest discussing the potential benefits and risks of evaluatingprostate cancer risk and prostate monitoring and engaging the patient in shared decision makingregarding prostate cancer monitoring. For patients who choose monitoring, clinicians should assessprostate cancer risk before starting testosterone treatment and 3 to 12 months after starting testosterone. (2 |OOO) In hypogonadal men being considered for testosterone therapy who are 40 to69 years old and at increased risk of prostate cancer (e.g., African Americans and men with a first-degreerelative with diagnosed prostate cancer), we suggest discussing prostate cancer risk with the patient andoffering monitoring options. (2 |OOO)
2.4 We suggest against routinely prescribing testosterone therapy to all men 65 years or older withlow testosterone concentrations (1 |OO). In men.65 years who have symptoms or conditionssuggestive of testosterone deficiency (such as low libido or unexplained anemia) and consistentlyand unequivocally low morning testosterone concentrations, we suggest that clinicians offertestosterone therapy on an individualized basis after explicit discussion of the potential risks andbenefits. (2 |OO)
2.5 We suggest that clinicians consider short-term testosterone therapy in HIV-infected men with low testosterone concentrations and weight loss (when other causes of weight loss have been excluded)to induce and maintain body weight and lean mass gain. (2 |OO)
2.6 In men with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have low testosterone concentrations, we recommendagainst testosterone therapy as a means of improving glycemic control. (1 |OO)
+3.0 Monitoring of Testosterone Replacement Therapy
3.1 In hypogonadal men who have started testosterone therapy, we recommend evaluating the patient after treatment initiation to assess whether the patient has responded to treatment, is suffering any adverse effects, and is complying with the treatment regimen. (Ungraded Good Practice Statement)
3.2 We recommend a urological consultation for hypogonadal men receiving testosterone treatmentif during the first 12 months of testosterone treatment there is a confirmed increase in prostate specificantigen concentration >1.4 ng/mL above baseline, a confirmed prostate-specific antigen >4.0 ng/mL, or a prostatic abnormality detected on digital rectal examination. After 1 year, prostate monitoring should conform to standard guidelines for prostate cancer screening based on the race and age of the patient. (2 |OO)

Clarus Therapeutics And HavaH Therapeutics Announce Licensing Agreement For Product To Treat Androgen-Dependent Inflammatory Breast Disease And…
If approved, CLAR-121 would be the first T treatment of its kind for inflammatory breast disease.
HavaH has extensive clinical experience with CLAR-121 in more than 1,000 Australian women (more than 6,200 implants) with breast disease, and Clarus expects that access to HavaH's pharmacokinetics, safety and early efficacy data in PDM will expedite progression to Phase 2/3 clinical studies in the U.S. Clarus estimates that the annual U.S. market size for PDM exceeds $400 million.2,3,4With this new pipeline asset, Clarus may also pursue, alone or in partnership, future indications in ER+ breast cancer, macromastia, granulomatous mastitis, and autoimmune induced breast pain.
"This licensing agreement marks the beginning of an exciting new partnership with HavaH. Their experience coupled with the significant amount of clinical data generated in Australia will benefit Clarus greatly as we begin our development activities in the U.S.," said Dr. Robert Dudley, Clarus's founder, president and CEO. "CLAR-121 allows us to leverage our expertise in androgen biology, as exemplified by JATENZO, a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for male hypogonadism and Clarus's first commercial product, and expands our development pipelinewith an initial focus on PDM in women a debilitating, painful disease with very limited treatment options, short of invasive surgery. This treatment, if approved, has the potential to be life-changing for women who suffer from PDM, and its development fits well with our mantra: 'good is never good enough'. Our goal is to provide treatment options that not only produce a positive clinical outcome, but also provide a positive therapeutic experience for patients."
Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Clarus will be responsible for future global development and regulatory activities for CLAR-121, excluding Australia. Clarus will pay HavaH an upfront payment of $500,000 upon signing and HavaH may be eligible for up to $10.75 million in potential development and regulatory milestone payments. HavaH will retain the right to promote HAVAH T+Aiin Australia. Additionally, HavaH would be eligible for a modest royalty and up to $30 million in potential commercial milestones.
"We developed HAVAH T+Ai to address a significant unmet need in women's health, and our partnership with Clarus will enable us to advance this therapeutic approach not only for inflammatory breast disease but, more widely we hope, for ER+ breast cancer where data now unambiguously demonstrates that the androgen receptor has an important tumor suppressor role in this form of breast cancer,"5 said Stephen Birrell, MD, PhD, HavaH founder, chairman and chief medical officer.
"In Clarus, we found a partner who understands and appreciates the potentially profound importance of androgen action in the context of inflammatory breast disease, as well as its role as an adjunctive endocrine therapy for certain forms of breast cancer," said Kathy Harrison, HavaH CEO.
Reedland Capital Partners, acting through Weild & Co., member FINRA/SIPC, served as financial advisor to HavaH in connection with this transaction. For more information, please visit http://www.reedland.com.

Male menopause: Here’s everything you need to know about andropause – Pulse Ghana
If scientific studies are to be believed, men also go through hormonal changes after the age of 50. However, it is very different from what women go through.
This has been a controversial topic for several years. According to a study, male menopause is nothing like female menopause. Female menopause is a natural part of ageing for women, whereas, male menopause doesnt even affect some older men. Due to the significant differences between the two conditions, doctors prefer calling it andropause or late-onset hypogonadism.
In andropause, the production of testosterone and other hormones decline in men. Testosterone is a hormone that leads to changes during puberty, manages your physical and mental health, maintains muscle mass, fuels sex drive and other important functions in the body.
The condition is also known as testosterone deficiency and late-onset hypogonadism. It is often associated with hypogonadism, which shows similar symptoms to this condition.
Here is everything you need to know about andropause or male menopause.
As per studies, this condition can cause a variety of symptoms and complications in the body.
Not able to focus on things
Reduced bone density and muscle mass
Your doctor might take a blood sample to test your testosterone levels. However, in most cases, the symptoms are manageable without treatment. Making healthy lifestyle choices can help you alleviate the symptoms. So, eating healthy, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and less stress are some lifestyle changes that may help.
In case youre experiencing depression, your doctor may prescribe antidepressants, therapy and the above-mentioned lifestyle changes.

Clarus Therapeutics And HavaH Therapeutics Announce Licensing Agreement For Product To Treat Androgen-Dependent Inflammatory Breast Disease And Certain Forms Of Breast Cancer
Agreement aims to accelerate development of a unique testosterone treatment for inflammatory breast diseases and estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer
NORTHBROOK, Ill. and NORTH ADELAIDE, South Australia, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarus Therapeutics Inc. ('Clarus'), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to providing solutions to unmet medical needs by advancing androgen and metabolic therapies for men and women, and HavaH Therapeutics ('HavaH'), an Australia-based biopharmaceutical company developing androgen therapies for inflammatory breast disease and certain forms of breast cancer by using the innate breast-tissue-specific hormone/immune interface, today announced a licensing agreement whereby Clarus will acquire the exclusive worldwide (excluding Australia) development and commercialization rights for HAVAH T+Ai (CLAR-121).
If approved, CLAR-121 would be the first T treatment of its kind for inflammatory breast disease.
CLAR-121 is a proprietary combination of testosterone (T) (natural ligand for the androgen receptor; AR) and anastrozole (inhibitor of T conversion to estradiol) delivered by a subcutaneous implant for treatment of AR-mediated breast disease that predominantly affects women. If approved, CLAR-121 would be the first T treatment of its kind for inflammatory breast disease, including inflammatory periductal mastitis (PDM) and estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Clarus's initial clinical development target is PDM - a destructive autoimmune inflammatory process of the retro-areolar milk ducts that results in multiple fistulae and inevitably results in disfiguring surgery and a high risk of recurrence. There is no known treatment for this condition apart from surgery, which has significant limitations.1 Due to the low prevalence of PDM in the U.S., Clarus anticipates this disease could qualify for orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and plans to petition the agency for that status for CLAR-121.
HavaH has extensive clinical experience with CLAR-121 in more than 1,000 Australian women (more than 6,200 implants) with breast disease, and Clarus expects that access to HavaH's pharmacokinetics, safety and early efficacy data in PDM will expedite progression to Phase 2/3 clinical studies in the U.S. Clarus estimates that the annual U.S. market size for PDM exceeds $400 million.2,3,4 With this new pipeline asset, Clarus may also pursue, alone or in partnership, future indications in ER+ breast cancer, macromastia, granulomatous mastitis, and autoimmune induced breast pain.
'This licensing agreement marks the beginning of an exciting new partnership with HavaH. Their experience coupled with the significant amount of clinical data generated in Australia will benefit Clarus greatly as we begin our development activities in the U.S.,' said Dr. Robert Dudley, Clarus's founder, president and CEO. 'CLAR-121 allows us to leverage our expertise in androgen biology, as exemplified by JATENZO, a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for male hypogonadism and Clarus's first commercial product, and expands our development pipeline with an initial focus on PDM in women - a debilitating, painful disease with very limited treatment options, short of invasive surgery.

Our goal is to provide treatment options that not only produce a positive clinical outcome, but also provide a positive therapeutic experience for patients.'
Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Clarus will be responsible for future global development and regulatory activities for CLAR-121, excluding Australia. Clarus will pay HavaH an upfront payment of $500,000 upon signing and HavaH may be eligible for up to $10.75 million in potential development and regulatory milestone payments. HavaH will retain the right to promote HAVAH T+Ai in Australia. Additionally, HavaH would be eligible for a modest royalty and up to $30 million in potential commercial milestones.

News-
September 12th, 2017; after a massive study of hormone replacement therapy was halted due to higher rates of breast cancer, heart attack and stroke among women assigned to the drugs to treat menopausal symptoms, a new follow-up study has found those women had no higher risk of death as of 2014 than participants who took a placebo.
Increasing healthcare expenditure due to growing awareness about health related problems. For example, According to OECD, the US spent $10,209 on healthcare per capita, or per person, in 2017. Thats more than any other country in OECDs 36-country consortium, and over $2,000 more than Switzerland, the second-highest spending country. In addition, rising drug development and hormonal imbalance disorders with rising geriatric population are also boosting the hormone replacement therapy market growth. Additionally, the rising womens population between the age group of 45 to 60, which increases the range of menopausal window due to this factor the demand of hormonal replacement therapy, is also growing. However, the hormone replacement therapy has number of side effects which may hamper the market growth. For example, fluid retention, indigestion, headache, and depression, bloating, swelling, nausea, leg cramps. Combined hormone replacement therapy slightly increases the risk of developing breast cancer, womb cancer, ovarian cancer and stroke. For example, Women who take hormone replacement therapy for more than 1 year have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who never use hormone replacement therapy. The risk is linked to all types of hormone replacement therapy except vaginal oestrogen. In spite of that, technological advancements in this field may create the number of opportunities within the forecast period.
North America is expected to dominate the global hormone replacement therapy market due to the increasing awareness about the hormonal replacement therapy And Increasing number of womens which have menopause problems in this region. For example, National Center for Biotechnology Information, in the United States, approximately 1.3 million women become menopausal each year and, 1% of women experience premature menopause before the age of 40. The Asia Pacific is expected to experience surge of demand too, owing to the factors such as increased awareness levels among the end users and improving healthcare infrastructure. Rising geriatric population is one of the primary factors responsible for the growth of the hormonal replacement therapy marketin the Europe.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Market Size to Surpass US$ 36.54 Billion by 2027 with the CAGR of 8.20% The Manomet Current - The Manomet Current
Recommendation and review posted by Bethany Smith
The many effects of reproductive hormones on the brain – ESHRE
The aim of a well attended Campus meeting organised by the SIG Reproductive Endocrinology in May was to present the latest findings on how sex hormones from various organs influence the brain, not vice versa and to emphasise that theres a psychological as well as physical effect in women.
The first part of the meeting provided a comprehensive update on the basics of how hormones - neuropeptides, AMH and hormonal contraceptives - affect the brain, and may even trigger depression and suicidal thoughts as a result of menstrual cycle syndromes.
Richard Anderson from the University of Edinburgh presented evidence on the key role that the so-called KNDy neurons expressing kisspeptin play in stimulating GnRH and LH, with elevated/fast secretion of these gonadotrophins a feature in PCOS patients. Therapeutic applications based on partial GnRH suppression may become available for PCOS and other conditions using NK3 receptor antagonists, and large clinical trials are under way. NK3 therapies have been associated in trials with a remarkable reduction in menopausal hot flushes, which are linked to GnRH pulses, according to Anderson.
LH over-secretion and reduced fertility characteristics akin to PCOS have also been linked to AMH overexposure, which Joop Laven from Erasmus University in the Netherlands said leads to aberrant wiring of the midbrain. High AMH levels have consequences too for PCOS offspring Laven presented findings showing the hormone impairs aromatase activity in the placenta with LH levels higher in PCOS daughters (and in sons) compared with controls. A possible clinical approach, he suggested, was that PCOS patients delay pregnancy to when embryo yields may be higher and aneuploidy lower.
Inger Sundstrom-Poromaa from Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden cited overwhelming evidence from RCTs for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as a first line therapy for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). She also highlighted the pros and cons of other treatments: low dose hormonal contraceptives, GnRH agonists (which alleviate symptoms but have side effects unacceptable to many), progesterone, which Sundstrom-Poromaa concluded is ineffective, and a future novel treatment ulipristal acetate (UA) shown to be effective in curing PMDD symptoms (50% UA group vs 22% placebo) but which cant currently be prescribed following an EMA review.(1)
Despite a 60-year history and widespread worldwide use, the contraceptive pills impact on brain structure via hormone suppression remains underexplored. The 160 Campus participants attending online from 48 countries heard how more (and better designed) longitudinal studies are still needed to establish associations (as suggested in current literature) between the range of progestogens used and brain effects - eg, increased working memory and depression.
During the second half of the meeting, on common fertility-related endocrine conditions, several presenters made lively cases for better treatments. Psychiatrist Vibe Frokjaer from Copenhagen University, Denmark, provided an update on sex hormone fluctuations, mental distress and associations with ART. Research by her and colleagues into women following GnRH agonist and GnRH antagonist protocols for ART suggests that mental distress during treatment is not causally linked to hypogonadism per se or to the choice of protocol.(2) Instead, estrogen sensitivity, brain-based mechanisms and neuroticism appear to play a role, and this needs to be translated into prevention/treatment, she said.
In a presentation on estradiol deficiency, Lawrence Nelson from the Mary Elizabeth Conover Foundation in the US outlined the dramatic consequences of low levels (eg, memory loss and anxiety) and appealed to ESHRE members for wider support of physiologic HRT (with transdermal patches) so women, notably POI patients, get the hormone they were meant to have.(3) Aled Rees, from Cardiff University in Wales, urged clinicians to screen PCOS patients in light of evidence of higher prevalence of emotional distress among these women, and for researchers to adjust for obesity in order to determine its role vs PCOS in psychological symptoms; and an update was given on endometriosis treatments including preliminary findings for publication next year on the role of virtual reality in alleviating chronic pelvic pain.
Campus organiser Cornelis Lambalk said there were many areas still to explore in the field of hormones and the brain, but the ambition is to cover these in a follow-up event next year.

Mounting incidences of testosterone deficiency in male population is a key factor that prevalence of male hypogonadism has surged worldwide. Several governments around the world have been taking initiatives to spread the awareness on hypogonadism treatment procedures, for example testosterone replacement therapy (TST), in order to relieve the painful burden on patients and their families.
As low testosterone levels are increasingly associated with exacerbation of chronic conditions, it further results into disorders apropos to hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Advent of TST has however enabled reduction in cases of male hypogonadism considerably. With growing awareness related to its treatment among patients, the market is likely to gain an uptick during the forecast period.

Additionally, the rising womens population between the age group of 45 to 60, which increases the range of menopausal window due to this factor the demand of hormonal replacement therapy, is also growing. However, the hormone replacement therapy has number of side effects which may hamper the market growth. For example, fluid retention, indigestion, headache, and depression, bloating, swelling, nausea, leg cramps. Combined hormone replacement therapy slightly increases the risk of developing breast cancer, womb cancer, ovarian cancer and stroke. For example, Women who take hormone replacement therapy for more than 1 year have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who never use hormone replacement therapy. The risk is linked to all types of hormone replacement therapy except vaginal oestrogen. In spite of that, technological advancements in this field may create the number of opportunities within the forecast period.
North America is expected to Dominate the Global Hormone Replacement Therapy Market
North America is expected to dominate the global hormone replacement therapy market due to the increasing awareness about the hormonal replacement therapy And Increasing number of womens which have menopause problems in this region. For example, National Center for Biotechnology Information, in the United States, approximately 1.3 million women become menopausal each year and, 1% of women experience premature menopause before the age of 40. The Asia Pacific is expected to experience surge of demand too, owing to the factors such as increased awareness levels among the end users and improving healthcare infrastructure. Rising geriatric population is one of the primary factors responsible for the growth of the hormonal replacement therapy marketin the Europe.

Gene Therapy Uses HIV to Rescue Kids Born Without Immune System – HealthDay News
WEDNESDAY, May 12, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Cora Oakley is a rough-and-tumble 4-year-old who loves gymnastics and outdoor activities, particularly if it involves bouncing on a trampoline.
It's hard to tell from looking at her that she was born without an immune system. Kids with this condition can acquire dangerous, life-threatening infections from day-to-day activities as simple as going to school or playing with friends.
"I remember asking the doctor if she was going to die, and he said to me, 'I hope not,'" remembers her mother, Chelsea Oakley, 38, of Morristown, N.J. "It was everything you didn't want to hear as a new mom."
Instead, Cora now has essentially a normal immune system, thanks to an experimental gene therapy that journeyed inside her newborn body and fixed the genetic defect that caused her immune deficiency.
The life-saving therapy utilizes a harmless, modified form of the AIDS-causing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to work its magic.
Cora is one of 48 out of 50 young children who were essentially cured of their severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) using this new procedure, researchers reported May 11 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"None of the 50 patients had any complications from the [therapy], and 48 out of the 50 restored their immunity to quite normal levels," said lead researcher Dr. Donald Kohn, a professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "They're no longer patients. They're off all of their antibiotics. They're living normal lives."
The children all suffered from a form of immune deficiency called ADA-SCID, in which a faulty gene causes a buildup in the bloodstream of a naturally occurring biochemical called adenosine.
"Lymphocytes are particularly sensitive to adenosine, so you basically poison off the lymphocytes, and that's what results in SCID," Kohn said. Lymphocytes are the white blood cells that power the human immune system.
This particular genetic abnormality causes 10% to 15% of all cases of SCID, Kohn said.
Kids with this form of SCID are kept alive by receiving regular injections of the enzyme they cannot make that breaks down adenosine, along with a battery of other medications that take the place of their missing immune system.
Until now, the luckiest children receive a bone marrow transplant to replace their faulty immune system, but not everyone can find a donor and they have to take drugs to block rejection of the transplant. This therapy is effective in about 70% of kids with SCID, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
In this new procedure, doctors remove some of a child's bone marrow and expose it to a genetically modified form of HIV into which has been cloned a normal copy of their broken gene, Kohn said.
The child undergoes chemotherapy to kill off their faulty bone marrow, and then the genetically modified cells are put back in as a replacement.
"We collect blood-forming stem cells from the bone marrow of these patients, bring them to the laboratory, use this lentiviral vector to insert this normal gene into their stem cells, and then they're given back to the patients by intravenous infusion," Kohn said.
Cora was the very last child to be treated in the clinical trial, her mom said. She had her bone marrow extracted in 2017 when she was 3 months old, and her newly corrected stem cells were reinserted into her about a month later.
As a newborn, Cora showed no signs of immune deficiency at all, Chelsea noted.
The family got a call from her pediatrician seven days after her birth, asking her to go to a pediatric hospital because her blood work came back abnormal. Further tests confirmed that she had ADA-SCID.
Following the gene therapy, Cora and her family spent a month in the bone marrow transplant unit of Boston Children's Hospital, which was closer to her home than the UCLA center that's pioneering the treatment.
"I was seeing all these little kids who have had heavy rounds of chemo, who've had bone marrow transplants and were taking all of these anti-rejection meds. Until then, I really didn't understand how incredibly fortunate we were, and how much this changed the course of Cora's life," Chelsea said.
"She didn't have to go through all of these extra steps and have all this hardship because of this gene therapy. I remember breaking down in tears and being so thankful and so sad for all these other kids, because no child should have to go through that," Chelsea continued.
The results of this clinical trial are "exciting," said Dr. Jordan Orange, chair of pediatrics at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, in New York City.
"I think this will be a platform to see cures brought to a variety of immune deficiencies not all, but certainly more than this one," Orange said. "It's my hope that many immune diseases can be cured through these types of approaches."
However, the procedure didn't have a perfect track record, which shows there is room for improvement, Orange noted.
"When you look at the 50 patients in the study, two were not cured," Orange said. "That's pretty good, that 48 out of 50 were cured, but when you're the one in 25 it didn't work for, you're still looking for a solution."
For Cora, the therapy represents a miracle, her mother said.
"She's doing great. She doesn't get any extra treatments, not anything. She's not on any prophylactic drugs. She's fully vaccinated," Chelsea said. "To this day, she has no idea. She's too young yet to know what all of this meant."
This experimental gene treatment has been licensed to Orchard Therapeutics, a London-based biopharmaceutical company, Kohn said. It will need to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Gene Therapy Uses HIV to Rescue Kids Born Without Immune System - HealthDay News

Commentary: California is last when it comes to protecting patients’ rights – Coast News
By Morgan C. Fitzgerald
California has one of the weakest laws in place to protect patients against the onerous and potentially dangerous practice of step therapy, according to a new study published by the Global Healthy Living Foundation.
Step therapy, also known as a fail-first requirement, can be a profit-generating treatment protocol enforced by health insurance companies under which patients must fail medications in defined tiers before receiving approval to step up to the medications prescribed by their doctors.
Insurance companies promote this requirement under the guise of ensuring that patients receive the most effective and reasonably priced drugs when in reality this practice forces patients to compromise treatment decisions and blocks access to essential medications.
Furthermore, each time patients change insurance coverage or start a new treatment, the process can start all over again. Step therapy causes immense, unnecessary patient suffering and gravely weakens individuals ability to receive the medicines prescribed to them.
In California, the current step therapy law fails to cover any of the six most common reasons for requesting an exemption to this process, such as a doctor believing that the first-step medication will be ineffective or even detrimental to their patient, among other provisions.
Im one of those people caught in the step therapy loop, having lived more than half my life with debilitating migraine.
Migraine is a complex neurological disease affecting more than 12% of the U.S. population. Symptoms commonly interfere with daily activities and can be so severe as to be disabling.
Between the ages of 12 and 21 I tried countless medications to manage migraine, but there were no migraine-specific preventative medications at the time so I was limited to off-label use of a multitude of drugs.
This included antidepressants, anxiolytics, antiepileptics, high blood pressure pills, and even a drug designed to treat dementia.
Unfortunately, these medications were not harmless. The side effects were numerous and almost as hard to manage as the disease I was trying to treat.
When I turned 21 my health took a turn for the worse, chronic migraine snowballed into a never-ending migraine attack, called intractable or refractory migraine, and I had to drop out of college and move back home.
Hunkering down in my childhood bedroom, I worked tirelessly with my doctors to try and improve my health while constantly battling with maddening insurance protocols.
In 2018, two years into my refractory migraine, a new class of medications developed specifically for migraine, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies, hit the market.
It was exciting to have migraine-specific medications available and the listed side effects were far fewer and less severe than the medications historically prescribed to migraine patients.
However, despite the fact that I had the same insurance coverage, meaning the insurance company had documentation of every medication and treatment I had ever tried, they denied coverage.
It took numerous medical necessity forms, appeal letters, and phone calls over a six-month period to finally gain insurance coverage. It was only on this new, more expensive medication that I was able to return to being a contributing force in society, finishing school and securing a job at a major research institution.
Without access to the newest therapies, I would still be unable to work and likely on disability.
Happy ending not so fast. Over the last three years, I have changed insurance companies, tried two other CGRP medications, added treatment for a comorbid condition, and tried to add noninvasive device therapy.
With each of these events, the insurance company reset the step protocol and repeatedly delayed or entirely blocked access to the treatments that my doctors determined to be the best course of disease management.
My doctors and I are forced to repeatedly fill out reams of paperwork and spend countless hours on the phone while I suffer from disrupted, fractured treatment. This effort is daunting, costly and a risk to my health.
Most chronically ill patients do not have the stamina or resources to push for the coverage they need.
Step therapy takes medical decision-making away from patients and doctors and puts it in the hands of insurance companies.
In California, we can help chronic disease patients access the medications deemed necessary by their doctors by reforming step therapy legislation.
Thats why I am urging my community to support Assembly Bill 347. For more information about step therapy, visit the Global Healthy Living Foundations 50StateNetwork at http://www.50statenetwork.org

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amunix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amunix), an immuno-oncology company leveraging its proprietary, clinically validated Pro-XTEN technology platform to discover and develop transformative T cell engagers and cytokine therapies for patients with cancer, today announced the appointment of Ciara Kennedy, Ph.D., M.B.A. to its board of directors. Dr. Kennedy brings to Amunix a wealth of strategic and operational experience across multiple therapeutic areas and stages of development in the biopharmaceutical industry.
We are excited to welcome Ciara, a leader in the biotech industry, to Amunix, said Angie You, chief executive officer of Amunix. Ciaras strategic, transactional and operational expertise will be invaluable as we plan to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for our lead program AMX-818, a masked HER2-targeted T cell engager, in early 2022 and transition into a clinical stage company. In addition, her visionary leadership will contribute to our strategic focus of building out our pipeline of masked T cell engagers and cytokines.
Dr. Kennedy added, I am delighted to join Amunixs board and am excited about the potential of its proprietary Pro-XTEN technology to harness the untapped potential of T-cell engagers and cytokines. I look forward to working closely with the experienced team as the company matures and grows its pipeline of promising therapeutics that has the potential to change the landscape of potent options for solid tumors.
Most recently, Dr. Kennedy was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage company developing innovative drug therapies for debilitating and life-threatening diseases in patients with compromised immune systems, where she led the company through a successful acquisition by Pfizer Inc. Prior to Amplyx, she was chief operating officer of Lumena Pharmaceuticals Inc. where she oversaw operations including clinical development and helped lead its successful acquisition by Shire plc. Earlier in her career, Dr. Kennedy also held various roles at Cypress Bioscience, Inc. and Biogen Idec Ltd.. Dr. Kennedy has a strong track record of building companies through to later stages of clinical development with a unique breadth of experience across business development, finance, program management, and clinical/regulatory strategy.

About Amunixs Pro-XTEN Technology
Amunixs Pro-XTEN technology aims to mitigate the toxicity of T cell engagers (TCEs) and cytokines by creating drugs that are preferentially activated in the tumor microenvironment, thus driving tumor cell killing while minimizing on-target, off-tumor toxicity that can damage healthy tissues and/or cause cytokine release syndrome. Amunixs Pro-XTEN technology leverages the intrinsically high protease activity in the tumor microenvironment to preferentially unmask and activate our drugs in the tumor microenvironment. The two proprietary components of this technology are as follows: 1) an XTEN Mask, a polypeptide that serves a dual purpose of acting as a universal spatial shield mask and providing half-life extension, and 2) a protease-cleavable linker which enables preferential unmasking and drug activation in the tumor microenvironment.
About Amunix Pharmaceuticals
Amunix Pharmaceuticals, based in South San Francisco, California, is an immuno-oncology company leveraging its proprietary, clinically validated Pro-XTEN technology platform to discover and develop transformative T cell engagers and cytokine therapies for patients with cancer. Amunix aims to expand the therapeutic index of TCEs and cytokines, which have demonstrated anti-tumor clinical activity, but have not realized their potential due to dose-limiting on-target, off-tumor toxicity. Amunix addresses this challenge by using its universal, protease-releasable masking technology, or Pro-XTEN, to create next generation, conditionally active T cell engagers, or XPATs, and cytokines, or XPACs, that are preferentially activated in tumors as compared to healthy tissues. Amunixs most advanced product candidate, AMX-818, is a masked HER2-targeted TCE for the treatment of HER2-expressing solid tumors, which is currently in IND-enabling studies. Along with other T cell engager programs, Amunix is also applying its proprietary masking technology to its first masked, protease-activated cytokine program, IL12-XPAC, which is in discovery stage.

Navigo Proteins and MDimune Enter into a Research Collaboration on Affilin-Mediated Targeting of Extracellular Vesicles – BioSpace
Solid tumor-specific scaffold protein ligands from Navigo combined with MDimunes BioDrone technology to create novel targeted extracellular vesicle-based therapeutics
Halle/Saale, Germany and Seoul, Korea, May 11th, 2021. Navigo Proteins, a protein engineering biotech company generating scaffold protein-based affinity ligands, and MDimune, a biotech company developing an innovative drug delivery platform based on exosome-like, nanosized cell-derived vesicles (CDVs), today announced a technology collaboration to achieve tissue-targeting of extracellular vesicles (EVs). The ongoing research combines Navigos target-binding Affilin molecules with MDimunes CDV technology, to enable Affilin-mediated delivery of CDVs specifically to solid tumor targets.
For the current collaboration, Navigo Proteins will contribute its existing solid tumor-specific Affilin molecules to decorate the surface of the exosome-like CDVs from MDimunes BioDrone technology, thereby pioneering next-generation, targeted extracellular vesicle-based therapeutics (See Figure 1).
Figure 1: Affilin-mediated tumor targeting of CDVs
Dr. Ulrich Haupts, Chief Scientific Officer of Navigo Proteins commented: We are looking forward to combining our selectivity-conferring Affilin molecules with MDimunes extracellular vesicles manufacturing platform, since this opens up an exciting new application for our scaffold protein-based Affilin molecules in the upcoming field of exosome-based therapeutics. The modular and highly engineerable Affilin technology can be a very attractive solution for the precise, targeted delivery of exosome-like vesicles, carrying different payloads to different target tissues.
Recently, we have invested significant efforts and resources to expedite effective steering of our vesicles, CDVs, to tumors or other resistant tissues. The current collaboration with Navigo Proteins is one of them highlighting our recent focus. Navigo Proteins demonstrated expertise in generating highly tissue-specific ligands will be key to enable this goal and ultimately build a foundation for our BioDrone platform technology, said Dr. Seung Wook Oh, Chief Scientific Officer of MDimune.
Affilin Affinity Ligands
Navigos Affilin molecules are target-specific, small, stable, highly engineerable, single-chain affinity ligands and are based on human Ubiquitin as a protein scaffold. Since Ubiquitin is an evolutionarily conserved natural human protein, also present in plasma, Affilin molecules have low immunogenic potential in humans and can also be directly used in various pre-clinical animal models.
Affilin molecules are currently being developed as antibody-alternatives in protein-drug conjugates, radio conjugates, CAR-T cell therapy, and as bi/multi-specific molecules by combining them with antibodies. With this collaboration, Navigo aims to extend the applicability of Affilin molecules to direct exosomes and extracellular vesicles to the target tissues of interest.
BioDrone Platform Technology
MDimunes BioDrone platform facilitates the production of CDVs, exosome-like, nanosized vesicles, in large quantities from various cell types by a proprietary extrusion method. CDVs are similar to exosomes in size, properties, and functions, but exhibit substantial advantages in yield that is more suitable for large-scale production and versatility to allow highly sophisticated engineering, starting from virtually any cell type. BioDrone technology is emerging as a highly versatile and scalable delivery system to address many human diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and more.
While the current project is aimed at Affilin-CDV-mediated payload delivery to solid tumors, this technological advance will not only be limited to cancer but could be expanded to other tissues and diseases.
About Navigo Proteins GmbH
Navigo Proteins is a premier protein engineering company developing affinity ligands, based on its proprietary platform of selected, small, and stable, yet highly engineerable scaffold proteins. These ligands serve as target-binding proteins in biotherapeutic molecules (PRECISION TARGETING) or for commercial custom affinity purification of biologics (PRECISION CAPTURING).
Navigos PRECISION TARGETING unit creates proprietary Affilin molecules based on the human Ubiquitin scaffold a highly conserved, small (8.5kDa) and stable natural human protein. A major strength of the Precision Targeting toolbox is its modular engineerability. The target-specific Affilin molecules can be combined with a variety of carrier units for site-specific payload coupling as well as half-life extension moieties and function-conferring effector modules to convert them into different biopharmaceutical modalities. Navigos ligands are currently being developed as Affilin-drug conjugates, Affilin-radio conjugates, Affilin CAR-T cell therapy and can also be fused to antibodies to create robustly-to-produce bi-/multi-specific molecules (MabfilinTM/FabfilinTM).

PRESS RELEASE
INTESA SANPAOLO SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAMPUS BIO-MEDICO UNIVERSITY OF ROME WITH A LOAN OF 50 MILLION EURO. THE PROJECT FEATURES INNOVATIVE SUSTAINABILITY CHARACTERISTICS
Milan, 13 May 2021 - Intesa Sanpaolo and Campus Bio-Medico S.p.A., the organizations set up to promote the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, have signed a 50 million euro loan agreement for investments with innovative sustainability characteristics.
The financed investment plan involves the creation of new spaces and infrastructures for university education, training and scientific research all with characteristics of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
For Intesa Sanpaolo, this marks the conclusion of one more transaction that is part of the 6- billion-euro earmarked for the circular economy as envisaged by the 2018-2021 Business Plan. 200 Projects have already received funding within this context. The transaction was concluded by the Intesa Sanpaolo IMI Corporate and Investment Banking Division, headed by Mauro Micillo with the support of the Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center Circular Economy Desk, the company of the Group dedicated to innovating and spreading the circular economy.
"Supporting Italian excellence such as the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome in its development projects gives Intesa Sanpaolo great pride and satisfaction," said Richard Zatta, Head of Global Corporate of the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division of Intesa Sanpaolo. At a time like the present, which is profoundly marked by the effects of the pandemic, providing support to the healthcare sector, universities and scientific research is even more crucial. The funded project will further expand the areas for university education with eco-sustainable and low environmental impact structures".
"A great crisis like the current one has uncovered how fragile our socio-economic system is, but it has also revealed the great opportunities for universities, as they find themselves spearheading the change towards greater technological, social, scientific knowledge and reflection on the fundamental values of our civic life, social organisation and commitment to the service of others - stated Giuseppe Garofano, Chairman of Campus Bio-MedicoSpA
The transaction includes a tranche of around 30 million euro for the creation of green and mobility infrastructures and innovative spaces dedicated to university education, informal learning and campus life that will host university students as early as the 2022-23 academic year. The project envisages a significant improvement in energy efficiency both in new spaces and in the various related systems, which will make it possible to optimise solar radiation, regulate air renewal and also produce the heat required for heating, thus avoiding the use of natural gas.
A second tranche of 20 million euro will be used to extend the maturity and thus refinance the remainder of a previous mortgage granted to allow the construction of the hospital and university complex which today constitutes one of the country's medical, scientific and academic centres of excellence.
The Campus Bio-Medico University is composed of the Department of Medicine and Surgery (with degree courses in Italian and English, and 24 specialised schools), the Department of Engineering (offering the Chemical Engineering for Sustainable Development course, among others) and the Department of Science and Technology for humans and the environment (with a course specifically focused on the circular economy) attended by over 2,200 students. Its research laboratories host 50 research units, with around 400 researchers.
The Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital has 400 beds, 18 operating rooms, 70 outpatient clinics and a first-level emergency room (currently reconverted into a Covid Center with 100 dedicated beds). It is equipped with all the latest technological equipment for diagnosis and treatment.
To boost and support the Circular and Green Economy, Intesa Sanpaolo has developed a wide and diversified range of financing and advisory products, dedicated to all types of customers, in Italy and abroad. Projects receiving Intesa Sanpaolo loans for the circular economy must meet a number of criteria, including product life extension, renewable energy, resource
optimisation, recyclable products and technologies that enable and foster this economic model. This allows the Bank to disburse loans at increasingly advantageous terms for customers, subject to verifying the achievement of the circular economy objectives.

Gene therapy restores immune function in children with rare immunodeficiency – National Institutes of Health
News Release
Tuesday, May 11, 2021
An investigational gene therapy can safely restore the immune systems of infants and children who have a rare, life-threatening inherited immunodeficiency disorder, according to research supported in part by the National Institutes of Health. The researchers found that 48 of 50 children who received the gene therapy retained their replenished immune system function two to three years later and did not require additional treatments for their condition, known as severe combined immunodeficiency due to adenosine deaminase deficiency, or ADA-SCID. The findings were published today inthe New England Journal of Medicine.
ADA-SCID, which is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 200,000 to 1,000,000 newborns worldwide, is caused by mutations in theADAgene that impair the activity of the adenosine deaminase enzyme needed for healthy immune system function. This impairment leaves children with the condition highly susceptible to severe infections. If untreated, the disease is fatal, usually within the first two years of life.
These findings suggest that this experimental gene therapy could serve as a potential treatment option for infants and older children with ADA-SCID, said Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of NIHs National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Importantly, gene therapy is a one-time procedure that offers patients the hope of developing a completely functional immune system and the chance to live a full, healthy life.
People with ADA-SCID can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy, but this treatment does not fully reconstitute immune function and must be taken for life, usually once or twice weekly. Transplants of blood-forming stem cells, ideally from a genetically matched sibling donor, can provide a more lasting solution. However, most people lack such a donor. Additionally, stem cell transplants carry risks such asgraft-versus-host disease and side effects from chemotherapy medications given to help the donor stem cells establish themselves in the patients bone marrow.
The new research evaluated an experimental lentiviral gene therapy designed to be safer and more effective than previously tested gene-therapy strategies for ADA-SCID. This gene therapy involves inserting a normal copy of theADAgene into the patients own blood-forming stem cells. First, stem cells are collected from the patients bone marrow or peripheral blood. Next, a harmless virus is used as a vector, or carrier, to deliver the normalADAgene to these cells in the laboratory. The genetically corrected stem cells then are infused back into the patient, who has received a low dose of the chemotherapy medication busulfan to help the cells establish themselves in the bone marrow and begin producing new immune cells.
The experimental gene therapy, developed by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London, uses a modified lentivirus to deliver the ADA gene to cells. Previous gene-therapy approaches for ADA-SCID have relied on a different type of virus called a gamma retrovirus. Some people who have received gamma retroviral gene therapies have later developed leukemia, which scientists suspect is due to the vector causing activation of genes that control cell growth.The lentiviral vector is designed to avoid this outcome and to enhance the effectiveness of gene delivery into cells.
The results come from three separate Phase 1/2 clinical trials, two conducted in the United States and one in the United Kingdom. The U.S. trials, led by principal investigator Donald Kohn, M.D., of UCLA, enrolled 30 participants with ADA-SCID ranging in age from 4 months to 4 years at UCLA Mattel Childrens Hospital and the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The U.K. study, conducted at GOSH and led by principal investigator Claire Booth, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., enrolled 20 participants ranging in age from 4 months to 16 years. Most participants acquired and retained robust immune function following gene therapy 96.7% after two years in the U.S. studies and 95% after three years in the U.K. study and were able to stop enzyme replacement therapy and other medications. Of the two participants for whom gene therapy did not restore lasting immune function, one restarted enzyme replacement therapy and later received a successful stem cell transplant from a donor, and the other restarted enzyme replacement therapy. The lentiviral gene therapy appeared safe overall, although all participants experienced some side effects. Most of these were mild or moderate and attributable to the chemotherapy that the participants received.
Researchers observed similar outcomes in all three trials, although there were some differences between the studies. Stem cells were collected from bone marrow in the U.S. trials and from peripheral blood in the U.K. trial. In one of the U.S. trials, 10 children were treated with genetically corrected stem cells that had been frozen and later thawed. The two other trials used fresh stem cell preparations. In the future, the freezing procedure known as cryopreservation may allow stem cells to be more easily transported and processed at a manufacturing facility far from the patients home and shipped back to a local hospital, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances to specialized medical centers to receive gene therapy. A trial of the cryopreserved treatment is now underway at the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Diseases in Children in London, in partnership with GOSH.
For more information about the trials described in the New England Journal of Medicine paper, visit ClinicalTrials.gov under identifiers NCT01852071, NCT02999984 and NCT01380990. The investigational lentiviral gene therapy, which is licensed to Orchard Therapeutics, has not been approved for use by any regulatory authority.
The research was funded in part by three NIH Institutes: NIAID; the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; and the National Human Genome Research Institute. Additional funding was provided by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Medical Research Council, the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children National Health Service Foundation Trust and University College London, and Orchard Therapeutics.

$2.3M boost puts Hawaii gene therapy research on the map | University of Hawaii System News – UH System Current News
Jesse Owens
Making waves in the fight against disease at the University of Hawaii is the Institute for Biogenesis Researchs (IBR) youngest full-time faculty member, 36-year-old Jesse Owens. Owens, who also earned his PhD in cell and molecular biology from UH Mnoa, was awarded $2.3 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over the next five years to develop a new, safer and more efficient approach to gene therapy. He leads a team of collaborators from UH Mnoas John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), MIT and UC Davis.
The $2.3 million grant is significant because it was a first-time submission and received a score in the 1st percentile, higher than 99% of grants submitted from institutions across all 50 states in the U.S.
Directed evolution of a sequence-specific targeting technology for therapeutic gene delivery to the human genome, Owens grant addresses drawbacks to current genome editing technologies that randomly insert a therapeutic gene, which can disrupt important host genes and potentially cause cancer. Methods like CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), a family of DNA sequences in genomes of organisms, are inefficient in non-dividing cells and delivering large DNA cargos. However, the technology that Owens is developing can direct large pieces of DNA to a safe location in the genome that can be used in all body tissues, both dividing and non-dividing, which will allow us to cure more types of diseases.
This is an R01, which is the coveted personal grant that people get to do researchits bringing absolutely state-of-the-art technology that hes inventing to do new gene therapy in Hawaii and this is why were very proud of him, said IBR Director Steven Ward.
I think the schools here in Hawaii are underestimated Owens
Not only is he faculty here, he got his PhD here, he was trained here, he was raised on the Big Island, added Ward. Hes the product of that and it just shows you that Hawaii can do some of the worlds greatest biomedical research.
In addition to the NIH funding, Owens recently signed a sponsored-research agreement with a private company specializing in non-viral gene therapies called SalioGen Therapeutics. The goal of this collaboration is to advance the tools he is developing in the lab into clinical-stage gene therapy candidates.
Born on Hawaii Island, Owens shares his Hilo High School alma mater with renowned Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna, who developed CRISPR gene therapy. He hopes to inspire other children from Hawaii to pursue a career in science.
I think the schools here in Hawaii are underestimated really, but you can succeed coming out of Hawaii, for sure, Owens said.

How a genetic ‘CopyCatcher’ could open the door to CRISPR-based precision gene therapy – FierceBiotech
Gene therapies such as Novartis spinal muscular atrophy treatment Zolgensma deliver a surrogate copy of a gene to replace a dysfunctional one in the body. The CRISPR gene editing tool could offer an alternative strategyone that could allow for a mutated gene to be fixed on site. But scientists arent sure whether such a technique, known as gene drive, would work at scale.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) say they may have found a way to make CRISPR efficient in gene therapy. They have developed a technology called CopyCatcher, which candetect and quantify events in which a genetic element is copied precisely from one chromosome to another during CRISPR-based gene editing.
In fruit flies, CopyCatcher revealed unexpectedly high rates of gene conversion, according to results published in Nature Communications. With help of the new tool and DNA screening, the team also identified the c-MYC gene as an inhibitor of genetic copying in human embryonic cells. The researchers said the findings lay the groundwork for developing CRISPR-based gene therapy for humans.
The promise of CRISPR-based gene drives is that one chromosome bearing the drive can cutthe other chromosome, which uses the drive as a template torepair the damage. UCSD used CopyCatcher to measure the efficiency of such a system in living animals.
CopyCatcher carries a highly sensitive detectorgene that produces fluorescent proteins only if the target genetic element copies itself onto a sister chromosome, allowing investigators to detect and quantify gene conversion.
In fruit flies, the frequency of gene conversion was unexpectedly high, at 30% to 50% of cells in the targeted tissues of the eye and thorax, the team reported.
RELATED: MIT and UCSF researchers create CRISPR 'on-off switch' that controls gene expression without changing DNA
But the rates of chromosome copying dropped sharply to just 4% to 8% of cells in human cells. That may be because mammalian chromosomes dont typically engage in chromosome pairing but rely instead on a different mechanism to fix DNA cuts. The researchers showed they could use certain techniques to improve copying, suggesting that human cells might be induced to perform efficient gene conversion.
By using a genetic screen, the team identified several factors affecting how DNA selects a repair pathway. The gene c-MYC emerged as a prime inhibitor of templated gene conversion. Cutting the expression of c-MYC by half increased the production of fluorescence marker expression by 2.5-fold in human embryonic cells compared with control cells, the team showed.
If high-efficiency gene editing could be achieved in human cells, CRISPR-based gene therapies could be developed to treat a variety of genetic disorders including blood diseases, hearing loss, spinal muscular atrophy, congenital heart defects and others, the researchers suggested.
These studies provide a clear proof of principle for a new type of gene therapy in which one copy of a mutated gene could be repaired from a partially intact second copy of the gene, Ethan Bier, Ph.D., the studys senior author, said in a statement. The need for such a design occurs in genetic situations with patients with inherited genetic disorders, if their parents were carriers for two different mutations in the same gene.
For future studies, the researchers plan to use CopyCatcher to identify additional factors that can be manipulated to push the choice of DNA repair toward the chromosome-pairing mechanism. That could improve the efficiency of CRISPR-based editing, they believe.

Biogen looks to build better gene therapies through latest deal – BioPharma Dive
Dive Brief:
Biogen's big move into gene therapy came just over two years ago with the $800 million acquisition of Nightstar Therapeutics, a developer of eye medicines.
Since then, the company has inked an agreement with Sangamo Therapeutics to explore gene editing as a way to treat neurological diseases, pushed further into gene therapies for the eye through a deal with Germany's ViGeneron, and just recently announced plans to spend $200 million on a gene therapy manufacturing facility in North Carolina.
These investments have come both as Biogen's peers pour money into gene therapy, and as the company faces investor pressure to diversify its business.
Gene therapy research has made a resurgence, in large part, because the technology and how it interacts with the body are now better understood. The Food and Drug Administration has approved a handful of cell and gene therapies over the last few years, and expects to be reviewing and approving between 10 and 20 annually by 2025.
Yet, there are still major challenges in this cutting-edge field, with one of the biggest being delivery. To be effective, gene therapies must achieve the complicated task of carrying their payloads to the appropriate cells without getting destroyed by the body's defense mechanisms. That task can be especially difficult for therapies going after highly protected areas, such as the brain.
Companies that specialize in gene therapy delivery have therefore been in high demand. Over the last year, for example, a startup called Dyno Therapeutics has caught the attention of heavyweight gene therapy developers like Novartis, Roche and Sarepta Therapeutics.
Dyno's capsid technology is meant to create more targeted gene therapies that are less likely to trigger an immune response. Just last week, the company said it had raised an additional $100 million in fresh funding from tech investor Andreessen Horowitz and several other venture firms.
Also recently, the gene editing startup Beam Therapeutics agreed to buy Guide Therapeutics, which makes tools to deliver genetic medicines into cells, in a deal valued at $120 million.
Capsigen now adds to this flurry of activity with its Biogen collaboration. Per deal terms, Biogen will hold an exclusive license to Capsigen's technology for an undisclosed number of CNS and neuromuscular disease targets.
"One of our priorities for technology innovation is the discovery of AAV capsids with improved delivery profiles," Al Sandrock, Biogen's head of research and development, said in a May 11 statement. "We are investing for the long-term by building platform capabilities and advanced manufacturing technologies with the goal of accelerating our efforts in gene therapy."

Sio Gene Therapies Announces CSF Reductions in GM1 – GlobeNewswire
- GM1 ganglioside in CSF reduced in 4 out of 5 children treated with the lowest dose at 6 months follow-up- Direct evidence of biochemical effect in the CNS suggests intravenous gene therapy may address both the systemic and neurological manifestations of GM1 gangliosidosis- Dr. Cynthia Tifft to deliver oral presentation at the 24th Annual ASGCT conference today at 6:15 PM EDT- On-track to report safety and efficacy data at 12 months follow-up in 2H 2021
NEW YORK and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sio Gene Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: SIOX), a clinical-stage company focused on developing gene therapies to radically transform the lives of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, will present new biomarker data from the Companys study of AXO-AAV-GM1, its adeno-associated viral vector (AAV)9-based gene therapy candidate for the treatment of GM1 gangliosidosis, at the 24th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT), today, May 13, 2021 at 6:15 PM EDT.
Dr. Cynthia Tifft, Deputy Clinical Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and Principal Investigator in the study, will review patient-level data on safety and efficacy at six-months follow-up from the low-dose cohort of the Companys ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study, with a focus on new six-month biomarker data from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Previously reported data from the clinical study demonstrated that AXO-AAV-GM1 was well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile and provided early indications of clinical disease stability. In the low-dose cohort, five patients with late-infantile and juvenile GM1 gangliosidosis received a 1.5x1013 vg/kg intravenous (IV) infusion of AXO-AAV-GM1. At 6 months following gene transfer, serum beta-galactosidase enzyme activity approximately doubled and was restored to 23-57% of the lower limit of the normal reference range in the low-dose cohort. All five children demonstrated signs of clinical stabilization as assessed by measures of development including the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior, Upright and Floor Mobility, and Clinical Global Impression scales. To date, there have been no serious adverse events attributed to gene therapy in any patients receiving either the low-dose or the high-dose of AXO-AAV-GM1.
AAV9 is one of the best-studied vector systems currently in development. These new 6-month CSF biomarker data are an important update to the growing body of evidence for AXO-AAV-GM1 where we now provide direct evidence of biodistribution and biochemical effect in the CNS at the lowest dose, similar to what we saw in prior translational studies with naturally occurring animal models, said Gavin Corcoran, M.D., Chief R&D Officer of Sio Gene Therapies. Intravenous administration is likely to impact the disease in the periphery, where the disease burden is substantial. Todays CSF data, indicating a biomarker response in the CNS, provides the first indication that intravenous administration of AXO-AAV-GM1 may be able to treat both the systemic and neurological manifestations of this progressive, multisystem disease. We are proud to continue to lead the way in the development of a potentially transformative treatment for patients and families affected by GM1 gangliosidosis and look forward to the upcoming 12-month data readout later this year to provide further evidence regarding the durability of our AAV9 gene therapy and its potential to slow or halt the progression of GM1 gangliosidosis.
Key findings from the new biomarker analysis:
Dr. Tifft said, These data are highly encouraging and underscore the potential of Sios gene therapy program for GM1 gangliosidosis. I have been involved in the clinical and research aspects of this disease for more than 10 years and have seen first-hand a disease that only gets worse, so I am proud to share this clinical update for a trial where we have seen kids remain stable and most children have shown some overall improvement.
Upcoming Milestones
The clinical study (NCT03952637) is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential efficacy of AXO-AAV-GM1 delivered intravenously in children with Type I and Type II GM1 gangliosidosis. Stage 1 is a dose-escalation study in which the low-dose cohort is evaluating 1.5x1013 vg/kg and the high-dose cohort is evaluating a dose of 4.5x1013 vg/kg in early infantile, late infantile, and juvenile children.
GM1 gangliosidosis is a progressive and fatal pediatric lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLB1 gene that cause impaired production of the -galactosidase enzyme. Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatment options for GM1 gangliosidosis.

AXO-AAV-GM1 delivers a functional copy of theGLB1gene via an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector, with the goal of restoring -galactosidase enzyme activity for the treatment of GM1 gangliosidosis. The gene therapy is delivered intravenously, which has the potential to broadly transduce the central nervous system and treat peripheral manifestations of the disease as well. Preclinical studies in murine and a naturally-occurring feline model of GM1 gangliosidosis have supported AXO-AAV-GM1s ability to improve -galactosidase enzyme activity, reduce GM1 ganglioside accumulation, improve neuromuscular function, and extend survival.
AXO-AAV-GM1 has received both Orphan Drug Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation from theFood and Drug Administrationand is the only gene therapy in clinical development for all pediatric forms of GM1 gangliosidosis.
In 2018, Sio licensed exclusive worldwide rights from theUniversity of Massachusetts Medical Schoolfor the development and commercialization of gene therapy programs for GM1 gangliosidosis and GM2 gangliosidosis, including Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases.
AboutSio Gene TherapiesSio Gene Therapiescombines cutting-edge science with bold imagination to develop genetic medicines that aim to radically improve the lives of patients. Our current pipeline of clinical-stage candidates includes the first potentially curative AAV-based gene therapies for GM1 gangliosidosis and Tay-Sachs/Sandhoff diseases, which are rare and uniformly fatal pediatric conditions caused by single gene deficiencies. We are also expanding the reach of gene therapy to highly prevalent conditions such as Parkinsons disease, which affects millions of patients globally. Led by an experienced team of gene therapy development experts, and supported by collaborations with premier academic, industry and patient advocacy organizations, Sio is focused on accelerating its candidates through clinical trials to liberate patients with debilitating diseases through the transformational power of gene therapies.
