Industry Update: 3 Exciting Precision Oncology Players to Watch Following Summit’s Meteoric Rise: Silexion, Nuvectis, Scorpian

Global Markets News

Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) recently captured headlines with the release of its Phase 3 data for ivonescimab, a targeted NSCLC therapy that has generated substantial buzz. The results from its trial conducted in China showed a dramatic 49% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to Merck’s Keytruda, signaling a potentially disruptive force in NSCLC treatment. However, the news wasn’t without its concerns—since the trial data originates from China, there are questions about its applicability to broader, global populations. As noted by BMO Capital Markets’ Evan Seigerman: “Results may or may not be generalizable beyond the China-focused patient population initially assessed.” Despite this, Summit’s valuation has risen by over 100%, now approximating $19 billion. With such a high valuation, the company could see limited room for further significant gains, leading many in the industry to explore other emerging opportunities in precision oncology. Alongside Summit, there are quite a few other players in the field. Some if these companies have even already shown promising initial results and could see similar success in the future if they were to report positive results. These emerging players are worth watching for those interested in following precision oncology drug candidates and pipelines. Among them are precision oncology innovators such as Silexion Therapeutics, Nuvectis Pharma, and Scorpion Therapeutics, which we discuss below. Silexion Therapeutics: Disrupting the KRAS-Driven Cancer Space Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN) is another under-the-radar player in the precision oncology space, with a focus on KRAS-driven cancers—a notoriously difficult target in oncology. While current small-molecule KRAS inhibitors are making progress, they are often limited to specific mutations, such as KRAS G12C, which accounts for a small percentage of cancers. Silexion’s RNA interference (RNAi) approach offers a broader solution, targeting a wider spectrum of KRAS mutations, particularly in pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant cancers. At the heart of Silexion’s approach is its LODER™ platform, which delivers siRNA directly to the tumor site, silencing KRAS mutations at the genetic level. This localized delivery not only increases efficacy by concentrating the treatment in the tumor, but it also reduces systemic side effects. Silexion’s next-generation candidate, SIL-204, is an optimized siRNA formulation designed to target pan-KRAS G12x mutations, positioning it to treat a broader range of KRAS-driven cancers beyond pancreatic cancer, such as lung and colorectal cancers. In Phase 2 trials for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, Silexion's LODER™ platform showed a 9.3-month improvement in overall survival when combined with standard chemotherapy. Additionally, the objective response rate (ORR) increased from 20% with chemotherapy alone to 55% with the combination, and in some cases, tumors that were initially non-resectable became operable after treatment with LODER™. These results are especially encouraging given the limited options available for pancreatic cancer patients. SIL-204, is expected to enter Phase 2/3 clinical trials in 2025-2026. What makes Silexion particularly intriguing is its current market valuation. Valued at aproximatly just ~$9 million following its SPAC merger, the company’s valuation could be perceived as low when compared to some of its peers, especially given its innovative technology and promising clinical achievements. Some have wondered whether this low valuation has more to do with dynamics post-SPAC companies. If Silexion can report positive results in its later-stage trials, the company’s outlook could dramatically improve, reflecting the potential of its RNAi-based platform. Like NXP900, SIL-204 could potentially have vast applications across multiple KRAS-driven cancer types, making Silexion a company to watch closely as it advances through clinical development. Nuvectis Pharma: Targeting NSCLC and Beyond by Inhibiting SRC/YES1 Kinases Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has been quietly making strides in the precision oncology sector, developing innovative therapies aimed at overcoming treatment resistance in hard-to-treat cancers. Its lead candidate, NXP900, targets NSCLC by inhibiting the SRC/YES1 kinases, which play critical roles in cancer cell survival and resistance to current therapies. This approach positions NXP900 as a potential game-changer in the treatment of NSCLC, particularly in patients who have developed resistance to EGFR and ALK inhibitors, such as AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso and Novartis’ Alecensa. NXP900 is still in the early stages of clinical development, currently undergoing Phase 1 trials. However, preclinical studies have already shown that it has strong anti-tumor activity in resistant NSCLC models. Even more promising is its potential application beyond NSCLC. Like Summit's ivonescimab, NXP900 focuses on resistance, but it also has broader applications due to its ability to target multiple cancer types driven by SRC/YES1 pathways. This versatility makes it a promising asset not just for NSCLC but also for other difficult-to-treat cancers like squamous cell carcinomas. In addition to NXP900, Nuvectis is advancing NXP800, another precision oncology candidate that is further along in the clinical development process. NXP800 is currently in Phase 1b trials, targeting ARID1a-mutated cancers such as ovarian and endometrial cancers. The early clinical data for NXP800 is promising, showing positive responses in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. With two strong candidates in the pipeline, Nuvectis is positioning itself as a formidable player in the precision oncology landscape. As Summit’s ivonescimab continues to gain attention, Nuvectis’ earlier-stage NXP900, with its NSCLC focus and beyond, could see similar success in the future if clinical results continue to trend positively. Scorpion Therapeutics: Pioneering Mutant-Selective Therapies Scorpion Therapeutics is redefining the frontier of precision oncology with its focus on delivering highly selective small molecules targeting validated and previously undruggable cancer mutations. Its lead candidate, STX-478, is a mutant-selective, allosteric PI3Kα inhibitor currently in Phase 1/2 trials for advanced solid tumors. Early data presented at the ESMO Congress 2024 highlighted its potential, with STX-478 demonstrating a 23% overall response rate in breast cancer and a 21% response rate across all tumor types, positioning it as a potentially best-in-class PI3Kα inhibitor. STX-478 is notable for its ability to spare wild-type PI3Kα activity in normal tissues, avoiding the toxicities seen with previous PI3Kα inhibitors, such as hyperglycemia and rash. Tumor reductions were seen in 72% of patients treated with STX-478 as a monotherapy, with circulating tumor DNA levels dropping in 86% of patients. This mutant-selective precision could help overcome the limitations of existing PI3Kα inhibitors, which have struggled with dose-limiting toxicities. In July 2024, Scorpion raised $150 million in a Series C financing round, co-led by Frazier Life Sciences and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The additional funding will support the advancement of STX-478 and other pipeline assets, positioning Scorpion for further clinical success. Scorpion’s pipeline includes a broad range of wholly-owned compounds that target both validated and novel cancer targets, positioning the company for future expansion into larger patient populations. As STX-478 progresses through clinical development, Scorpion is poised to become a significant player in the precision oncology space, making it another company worth watching closely. Optimistic Outlook for Precision Oncology The precision oncology space is experiencing a golden era of innovation, with companies like Summit Therapeutics, Nuvectis Pharma, Silexion Therapeutics, and Scorpion Therapeutics leading the charge. As the focus shifts towards targeted therapies that address resistance mechanisms, the market is increasingly favoring companies with novel approaches and broad applications. Summit’s meteoric rise has shown that there is tremendous potential for companies that can demonstrate efficacy in overcoming cancer resistance. While Summit has already captured much of the current attention, companies like Nuvectis, Silexion, and Scorpion, with their earlier-stage pipelines, offer exciting opportunities for the industry to keep a close eye on. As these companies continue to report clinical data and advance through trials, the potential for breakthroughs in treating some of the most difficult cancers grows stronger. With targeted therapies offering the possibility of overcoming resistance without the need for chemotherapy, the future of cancer treatment looks brighter than ever. For those in the oncology space, keeping a close eye on emerging players like Nuvectis, Silexion, and Scorpion could lead to transformative developments as the field of precision oncology continues to evolve. * * * This update may include speculative forward looking statements.

Reform of Africa's Criminal Justice Systems

Pinion Newswire

A well-functioning criminal justice system (CJS) is the bedrock of a safe and secure society. It protects our communities from exploitation and our citizens against false accusations. The CJS comprises government agencies mandated through legislation to work together to deter crimes against individuals, societies, and states. In a collaborated effort, they serve to punish offenders who cause physical or psychological harm against persons, are involved in damage or theft of property, and those who perform crimes against the state. Criminal justice systems involve multiple parts, each with a distinct role. The adversarial nature of most criminal justice systems requires functional independence between the judiciary and the agencies that present criminal cases to courts on behalf of the people. Criminal justice systems are inherently complex because of the independent functioning of agencies such as police investigation, prosecution, judiciaries, and prison authorities. They involve several independent functions: crime reporting, detection, prosecution, adjudication, sentencing, incarceration, rehabilitation, and reintroducing prisoners into society. While there is a requirement for independence, each component depends on one or more of the other components, without which it cannot function. Social Deprivation A large percentage of crimes in Africa can be directly attributed to social deprivation caused by poor housing and parenting, poverty, low levels of education, and unemployment. Socially deprived individuals are easily given over to more detestable behavior, such as substance abuse and gangsterism, where there is no respect for human life and freedom and no regard for the rule of law. African countries have also become havens for crimes such as fraud, corruption, extortion, kidnapping, human trafficking, and modern slavery. Unlike the modus of operandi in the age of colonial slavery, greedy people from within African countries who operate in concert with international syndicates have become the main actors. Criminal Justice Realities CJS agencies worldwide are poorly coordinated and function in silos. Petty crime cases take as long to finalize as complex cases because of a lack of case classification and appropriate diversion programs. Very few, if any, countries can claim that they have successfully integrated their criminal justice process and information flows. Blame will frequently be shifted to different areas of the system, with budget limitations often cited as the primary obstacle. However, most criminal justice systems are fraught with inefficiencies that lead to wastage and duplication, leading to a continuous cycle of increasing inefficiencies. Criminal justice systems almost everywhere in Africa suffer from a lack of end-to-end governance and the absence of politically accountable individuals who can influence strategic government expenditure and oversee the alignment and smooth functioning of the system as an integrated whole. Some African countries have taken promising steps toward integrating their criminal justice systems and have sound process and information integration plans. This has, however, been hampered by a lack of continuity of decision-makers and functional heads across CJS agencies. Changes at the ministerial level frequently trigger shifts in leadership across subordinate appointments, which in turn result in strategic and operational pauses for long periods and disruption of previous integrated planning and systems implementation. Appropriate Tools Budgets are mostly allocated to the different CJS components in an unscientific and uncoordinated way, creating unbalanced systems that result in blockages from start to finish. The process is characterized by multiple iterations between investigators and prosecutors and many fruitless court appearances that result in postponements before court adjudication. The result is a very high rate of cases that are closed by the police as “undetected” and an alarmingly low conviction rate. This translates into a criminal justice system that does not serve as a deterrent to crime. A cursory survey among crime detectives in Africa will almost always point to lacking basic but essential tools, such as vehicles to transport them to crime scenes, limiting available access to witnesses, prosecutors, and attending court hearings. They often must share mobile phones, which serve a dual purpose as recording and photographic devices. Forensic investigators face similar issues. Prison Overcrowding Most African prisons are overcrowded. The number of convicted prisoners almost always exceeds prison capacity. Prisons also have to accommodate high numbers of offenders who are awaiting trial. They should be kept separately from sentenced prisoners, but this is not always the case. The result is that young first-time offenders are often locked up in the same ultra-crowded spaces as individuals with extensive criminal records. Recommendations for Criminal Justice Reform The success of criminal justice systems depends on their ability to function seamlessly, with balanced and optimized resource utilization across the CJS entities and performance measured on an end-to-end basis. Successful CJS reform interventions have political and executive backing at the highest levels, ensuring they maintain a sustained involvement in the ongoing performance of the CJS. The critical factors are listed below: Focused and integrated governance and oversight structures backed by senior political sponsors and high-level officials. A single vision, mission, and overall CJS objectives at federal, provincial/state levels. Coordinated strategies, plans, and budgets, including cross-departmental resource models. A legislative reform program to replace inhibiting and outdated legislation, to enact legislation, and to publish diversion programs and alternative dispute resolution regulations, thereby allowing CJS role players to focus on serious crimes. Implementation of a permanent CJS structure to: Specialist career paths for investigators, prosecutors, and judiciary members who deal with complex commercial crime cases and other emerging crimes, including cybercrimes. Integrated and accessible CJS information technology system with shared criminal case information, criminal history, and biometric information of sentenced offenders. Outcomes The recommended actions will have strategic and operational benefits for society and criminal justice actors, with tangible and measurable outcomes that include: Successful investigations with fewer iterations between prosecution and investigation. Reduced number of court postponements, offender remands, and a decreased “awaiting trial” population. Shorter criminal case lapse time and increased cases with a final verdict. Significant elimination of duplication and wastage of public funds. Improved public confidence. Conclusion Effective criminal justice can only be served when all the role players are aligned through a joint mandate, common overall objectives, and coordinated and managed operating processes and procedures. This is contrasted by disjointed criminal justice systems that work in silos. This truth has evaded the attention of politicians, government agency heads, and CJS strategists for many decades. Insufficient attention to joint capacity planning, headcount balancing, skills requirements, skills matching, legislative alignment, and reform initiatives, results in delayed justice or no justice. A well-thought-through strategic approach to problem identification and solving, combined with the active involvement of the highest level of decision-makers, will result in actions that will automatically allow for short-term quick fixes, medium-term solutions, and longer-term interventions that ultimately must all be incorporated into a strategic Criminal Justice Reform Program.

Why Nvidia, Daimler Truck, Nikon And Top U.S. Security Organization Are Partnering With This AI Chip Stock

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga A boom in automated passenger cars and trucks could be coming to roads and highways near you thanks to the companies churning out the technology required to make this a reality. One company, in particular, is Aeva Technologies Inc. (NYSE: AEVA), which makes LiDAR sensors for self-driving vehicles, trucks, trains and more. The sensors act as eyes, providing 3D views of the surroundings with a twist – adding a fourth measurement dimension of speed in what the company calls 4D LiDAR. The company’s sensors are powered by its Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) 4D LiDAR technology, which uses a low-power continuous laser beam to measure distance and velocity for each pixel at the same time. Aeva says FMCW unlocks new levels of safety and automation by instantaneously discriminating between moving and non-moving points and identifying the precise velocity of objects in motion. Per pixel instant velocity data gives real-time insights into how an object’s speed and position change and the direction that change happens with centimeters per second precision, giving the vehicle’s computer a more accurate picture and a faster look-ahead to help plan its next move more quickly. The company says its FMCW LiDAR sensors can also enable self-driving cars and trucks to achieve highway speeds (65 MPH and above) safely. It’s something that the industry has struggled with, with many advanced assisted driving and traffic-jam pilot self-driving vehicles achieving top speeds of only up to 45 MPH. For the automotive industry to realize autonomous vehicles at a large scale, it must be able to sustain highway speeds safely and across different weather and driving conditions. Aeva’s LiDAR Tech Secures Strategic Partnerships With Industry Giants Aeva is getting a lot of attention because of its advanced LiDARs, inking deals with heavy hitters including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), Daimler Truck AG and Nikon Corp. (OTC: NINOY) and forging into new areas. The deal with Nvidia, the AI and graphics chip maker that boasts a market capitalization of about $2.90 trillion, holds the potential to validate Aeva’s technology. The two first began collaborating in the spring of 2022, when Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors were added to the NVIDIA DRIVE® Automotive platform. NVIDIA DRIVE is an open, end-to-end platform that enables automotive OEMs and developers to develop, train, validate and deploy safe self-driving technology at scale. The NVIDIA DRIVE platform consists of both the AI infrastructure and in-vehicle hardware and so ftware to deliver everything needed to develop autonomy at scale. Aeva delivers an advantage for perception in automated vehicles because it leverages per-point instant velocity information to detect and classify objects with higher confidence across longer ranges. “With Aeva as part of our DRIVE ecosystem network, we can provide customers access to this next generation of sensing capabilities for safe autonomous driving,” said Nvidia about Aeva at the time. Since then it has made inroads with OEMs, recently announcing some major deals. Take Aeva’s recent $1 billion deal with Daimler Truck AG as a prime example. Daimler Truck is using Aeva’s 4D LiDAR sensors in its Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia autonomous truck platform. Daimler Truck says it intends to integrate the LiDAR sensors directly into its production process, making it easy for customers to buy autonomous-ready trucks directly from its manufacturing plants. Daimler Truck said it chose Aeva’s LiDAR sensors because of their ability to provide enhanced safety and control. Production is slated to commence in 2026, according to Aeva. Daimler is aiming to have self-driving trucks on the road by 2027. “Daimler Truck is committed to leading the industry’s advancement toward autonomous trucks. Selecting the right LiDAR technology is a crucial strategic decision to safely deploy autonomous trucks on the road,” said Joanna Buttler, head of Global Autonomous Technology Group at Daimler Truck, when announcing the deal. “We are convinced that Aeva with its cutting-edge and reliable technology is the right production partner for LiDAR sensors and has the manufacturing capabilities to scale along with us,” she said. Growing Beyond Automotive Vehicles aren’t the only thing Aeva’s sensors are finding a home in. The company is also bringing its perception technology to security and AI based analytics, having been selected by a top U.S. National Security Organization to help protect critical energy infrastructure sites across the United States. Aeva’s sensors are expected to be the primary detection sensor to protect sensitive locations in various facilities from intrusion, such as water entries and exits and at perimeter fences. Aeva says after evaluating multiple sensing technologies, including 3D time-of-flight LiDAR, this top national defense security organization selected Aeva 4D LiDAR, further validating the growing applications for Aeva’s technology for some of the demanding and high-stakes physical security applications that can benefit from the application of sensing and AI. As a sign of having broadened and versatile applications, Aeva also inked a deal with Nikon, the global manufacturer and supplier of metrology and inspection equipment for the industrial automation and metrology markets. Aeva is producing sensors for Nikon industrial machines to inspect objects on manufacturing assembly lines for microscopic defects that can be smaller than the width of a human hair. This includes automobiles and aerospace components from some of the world’s largest manufacturers. Aeva is targeting to begin launching its sensors for the first industrial precision product with Nikon in the fourth quarter of 2024. “Today’s production win marks a significant milestone for Aeva in the growing field of automated manufacturing and it validates that Aeva’s unique FMCW technology goes well beyond automated driving with a perception platform powering the next wave of automation,” said Soroush Salehian, co-founder and CEO at Aeva when the deal was announced late last year. “We are excited to advance to our first commercial deployment with Nikon, a recognized leader in delivering high-precision industrial solutions of the highest quality, and look forward to leveraging our perception platform to bring additional programs to market.” Then there’s Aeva’s deal in railway for Germany’s rail sector initiative Digitale Schiene Deutschland. Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology is being used in the group’s AutomatedTrain project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action with collaboration from ten partners, including the world’s largest railway company Deutsche Bahn, Siemens Mobility and Bosch. The group aims to create and trial driverless, fully automated passenger trains by 2026. From vehicles to industrial security, manufacturing automation and trains, Aeva’s advanced sensors and perception suite seem to be finding their way into large and rapidly growing markets.
