Prodigy Biotech Enters into a Partnership Agreement with Leading Cancer Center to Advance Products to Improve Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Prodigy Biotech

Prodigy is the first company to join the MSK Therapeutic Accelerator. The accelerator program launch was announced at the MSK Life Sciences Innovation Summit in New York City on January 26, 2024. Prodigy and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) will co-develop a product targeting Enterococcus sp. to treat microbial dysbiosis in patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The product will be built on Prodigy’s polyclonal Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) technology that has shown promising preclinical data in models of alcoholic liver disease. Prodigy and MSK have entered into a sponsored research agreement through the MSK Therapeutics Accelerator program to evaluate Prodigy’s product candidate for the improvement of outcomes in patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). The MSK Therapeutic Accelerator project will be led by Jonathan Peled, MD, PhD, Assistant Attending Physician, MSK. Through his pioneering research, Dr. Peled and his team at MSK have significantly advanced the role of the microbiome in impacting outcomes in patients undergoing allo-HCT. Dr. Peled’s work revealed that patients undergoing allo-HCT have enterococcal domination events and these domination events lead to worse overall survival and higher graft vs. host disease (GvHD)-related mortality. Dr. Peled has previously demonstrated in preclinical models that resetting the gut microbiome has profound outcomes in mitigating disease severity. In this collaboration, Prodigy’s Enterococcus sp. neutralizing antibodies will be evaluated in preclinical models of GvHD and product candidates will be developed to move into clinical development. Furthermore, Prodigy is pleased to have Dr. Peled join and help build its allo-HCT Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). In addition to the sponsored research, MSK will provide expertise and institutional resources through the MSK Therapeutics Accelerator to aid in the development of a drug candidate for patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. MSK’s Therapeutic Accelerator Program is a partnership program between MSK and technology and pharmaceutical companies to advance novel therapeutics through all stages of drug development. The program brings together innovative healthcare companies with MSK’s community of clinical and scientific experts to establish groundbreaking collaborations that can have a tangible impact on treatment or management of cancer. Satish Chandran, CEO of Prodigy said, “ We are delighted to collaborate and partner with MSK’s Therapeutic Accelerator Program and Dr. Peled to develop product(s) for patients undergoing allo-HCT. Given the significant morbidity and mortality associated with the disease, it is incumbent upon all of us to find solutions that have the potential to save lives and restore normalcy to these patients. We have been very pleased with the robust preclinical proof-of-concept data of our product PROD-AH-001, (Hepatology, 2023) for alcoholic hepatitis which is currently being readied for an IND submission with the FDA.” Dr. Jonathan Peled of MSK said, "Patients who are treated with allo-HCT experience the most extreme microbiome injuries observed in any clinical setting. There is an urgent need to develop approaches that can mitigate this and prevent the expansion of potentially pathogenic bacteria. We hypothesize that attenuating the expansion of Enterococcus within the gastrointestinal tract will prevent bloodstream infections with this bacterium and potentially also ameliorate GVHD.” Dr. Chandran presented information about this important new collaboration at the MSK Life Sciences Innovation Summit in New York City on January 26, 2024. About Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Allo-HCTs have a chance to cure malignancies but are associated with high rate of complications and mortality. Allo-HCT can lead to various complications, affecting different organs due to the intense conditioning regimen and introduction of foreign immune cells. A significant concern after allo-HCT is graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), where the donor's immune cells mount an attack against the recipient and is a major cause of morbidity and non-relapse mortality in this patient population. There is a clear need of therapies that are able to improve outcomes in patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. About Prodigy Biotech, Inc. Prodigy Biotech is a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing products using its polyclonal Immunoglobulin Y technology to selectively edit the microbiome while avoiding deleterious effects to the commensal microflora. The versatility of avian antibodies, IgY, allows for pathogen- specific neutralization capabilities not only to bacteria but also viruses, fungi, endotoxins, and even human secreted proteins such as cytokines and chemokines. A target agnostic approach and strategic collaborations with leading researchers in the microbiome field has allowed Prodigy to build a diverse pipeline ranging from modulating the gut microbiome in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) to modulating the lung microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Elicio Therapeutics Announces Publication of Preclinical Data Demonstrating Power Of Amphiphile-Immunotherapy

Benzinga

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga A clinical-stage biotechnology company has published promising preclinical data in Cancer Immunology Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). The data produced by Elicio Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ELTX) demonstrates how Elicio’s proprietary Amphiphile (AMP) lymph node-targeting immunotherapy platform, carrying cognate peptide and adjuvant cargos, boosted T cell receptor-modified T cell (TCR-T cell) therapies while enhancing anti-tumor function and eradicating solid tumors. According to Peter DeMuth, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Elicio Therapeutics, optimization of TCR-T cell therapy could potentially have wide-ranging therapeutic benefits in many previously intractable solid tumors. During the study, AMP immunotherapy enhanced the infiltration and function of TCR-T cells in the tumor microenvironment and led to epitope spreading against diverse tumor targets. Additionally, long-term protection against tumor recurrence in AMP-treated mice was associated with antigen spreading to additional tumor-associated antigens not targeted by the treatment. “In this study, we’ve demonstrated that boosting TCR-T cell therapy directly in the lymph nodes with AMP immunotherapy resulted in durable anti-tumor T cell responses and tumor eradication,” DeMuth said. “The AMP treatment uniquely promoted potent mechanisms for immune activation in lymph nodes to invigorate both adoptive and endogenous anti-tumor T cell immunity. Simple application to a variety of cancer targets including mKRAS, HPV E7 and NY-ESO-1 could elevate existing TCR-T cell therapies to generate powerful new combinations for hard-to-treat solid tumors.” Elicio Therapeutics is developing a pipeline of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer. Three vaccine candidates are currently in Elicio Therapeutics’ pipeline: ELI-002, ELI-007 and ELI-008. Elicio’s proprietary AMP platform delivers investigational immunotherapeutics directly to the lymph nodes, sometimes referred to as the “brain center” of the immune system. In previous Elicio studies, the results found that AMP immunotherapy promoted specific trafficking and retention of payloads into lymph nodes, yielding enhanced T cell numbers, persistence and functional quality. Preliminary phase 1 data from the ongoing study of Elicio’s lead asset, ELI-002, demonstrated significant T cell responses – including both CD4+ and CD8+ – when administered as an adjuvant monotherapy in patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancers. The strength of the T cell response induced by ELI-002, an mKRAS-specific AMP vaccine, was further correlated to significant improvements in tumor biomarker response, along with reduced risk of progression and death. This indicates an association between the ELI-002 mechanism of action and clinical outcome. “This study adds to our growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating the importance of the lymph nodes and the robust efficacy that our AMP immunotherapy strategy can potentially achieve for patients with solid tumors, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other strategies,” said Robert Connelly, Chief Executive Officer at Elicio Therapeutics. “The AMP platform provides attractive potential for broad and rapid application to clinical and developmental TCR-T cell programs. We look forward to finding the right partner to advance this promising combination into the clinic for patients with solid tumors.” Featured photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash.

2 Million Cancer Diagnoses And 600,000 Cancer Deaths Expected In 2024 – Prevention Is Key To Treatment, And Mainz Biomed Is Leading The Charge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global population is experiencing a scary increase in colorectal cancer, especially among young people. Colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses have been steadily rising since the 1990s; in 1995 the proportion of these cancer cases in adults younger than 55 was 11%, and in 2019, the number was 20%. It is recommended that adults start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45 but with the increase in prevalence, the value of early detection cannot be understated. While doctors still aren’t sure of the reason behind this increase, they are urging the public to take these numbers seriously and embrace preventative measures for early detection. Companies like Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, are leading the charge in helping make that happen. This company has created ColoAlert®, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. The non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. Once launched in the U.S. Mainz Biomed's ColoAlert will compete with Cologuard from Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAS), a well-established company that commands a market cap of over $10 billion. The key difference between Cologuard and ColoAlert is that ColoAlert requires far less stool collection than its competitor, a testament to ColoAlert’s technology. This not only increases convenience for the patient but also cuts down on shipping costs and lab time. The only other detection model outside of a traditional colonoscopy is a blood-stool test; however, these tests can only detect cancer, not pre-cancerous polyps. Mainz Biomed has partnered with Liquid Biosciences to ensure its cutting-edge products are top-of-the-line. Recently, Mainz Biomed conducted a multi-center international clinical trial in Germany and Norway to evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert®. The study yielded impressive findings, demonstrating a high sensitivity of 94.4% and specificity of 97.5% for detecting CRC. Additionally, the screening test showed a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95.2% in detecting precursor lesions, including advanced adenomas that may develop into CRC. In other words, ColoAlert is designed to detect pre-cancerous polyps as well as identify individuals who have colorectal cancer. The CDC reports that colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer in the United States and Europe. However, it is also the most preventable, with early detection leading to survival rates above 90%. ColoAlert can be instrumental in preventive care for colorectal cancer. The company reports it has experienced success in Germany, where the product is available through labs, industry partnerships and online for purchase. In 2024, Mainz Biomed is looking to replicate this success in the U.S. and is planning to launch a pivotal trial, seeking FDA approval for its product. If successful, the company will look to partner with a network of labs across the country to increase accessibility to its product with the hope that more Americans will be able to detect pre-cancerous polyps before it is too late. With the American Cancer Society predicting over 600,000 cancer deaths and the equivalent of 5,000 cancer diagnoses each day in 2024, prevention is key to treatment. The preventive healthcare market has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, and it is expected to reach $415 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2031. Mainz Biomed’s ColoAlert is a great example of the power of technology that can screen for pre-cancerous markers. Mainz Biomed's dedication to pushing the limits of diagnostic technology, enhancing accessibility and its growth trajectory potentially establish it as a formidable presence in the industry, setting it apart from its competitors.
