New Stocks Added the Biotech Directories:

Candel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CADL) Candel is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing off-the-shelf viral immunotherapies that elicit an individualized, systemic anti-tumor immune response to help patients fight cancer. Candel’s engineered viruses are designed to induce immunogenic cell death through direct viral-mediated cytotoxicity in cancer cells, thus releasing tumor neo-antigens while creating a pro-inflammatory microenvironment at the site of injection. This leads to in situ vaccination against the injected tumor and uninjected distant metastases. Candel has established two clinical stage viral immunotherapy platforms based on novel, genetically modified adenovirus and herpes simplex virus (HSV) gene constructs, respectively. CAN-2409 is the lead product candidate from the adenovirus platform and is currently in ongoing clinical trials in NSCLC (phase 2), borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (phase 2), and localized, non-metastatic prostate cancer (phase 2 and phase 3). CAN-3110 is the lead product candidate from the HSV platform and is currently in an ongoing investigator-sponsored phase 1 clinical trial in recurrent high-grade glioma. In addition, Candel’s enLIGHTEN™ Discovery Platform is a systematic, iterative HSV-based discovery platform leveraging human biology and advanced analytics to create new viral immunotherapies for solid tumors.

 

Purple Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ:PPBT) is a clinical-stage company developing first-in-class therapies that seek to overcome tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. The Company's oncology pipeline includes NT219, CM24 and IM1240. NT219 is a dual inhibitor, novel small molecule that simultaneously targets IRS1/2 and STAT3. In a Phase 1/2 study of NT219, the Company is currently advancing it in a dose escalation as a monotherapy treatment of solid tumors, and in a dose escalation in combination with cetuximab for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) or colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC). These studies will be followed by an expansion phase of NT219 at its recommended Phase 2 level in combination with cetuximab in patients with recurrent and metastatic SCCHN. CM24 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks CEACAM1, an immune checkpoint protein that supports tumor immune evasion and survival through multiple pathways. The Company is advancing CM24 as a combination therapy with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in a Phase 2 study for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The Company has entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb for the Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the combination of CM24 with the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab in addition to chemotherapy. IM1240 is a preclinical, conditionally-activated tri-specific antibody that engages both T cells and NK cells to mount a strong, localized immune response within the tumor microenvironment. The third arm specifically targets the Tumor Associated Antigen (TAA) 5T4 that is expressed in a variety of solid tumors and is correlated with advanced disease, increased invasiveness and poor clinical outcomes. IM1240 has a cleavable capping technology that confines the compound's therapeutic activity to the local tumor microenvironment, and thereby potentially increases the anticipated therapeutic window in patients. The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Rehovot, Israel.

 

RayzeBio, Inc. (Nasdaq:RYZB) is building a vertically integrated radiopharmaceutical therapeutics (RPT) company to treat various cancers, with its lead program in a Phase 3 clinical trial. RayzeBio has created a pipeline of multiple drug candidates in therapeutic areas with significant market opportunities. Much like antibody drug conjugates emerged as a new and transformative treatment modality in certain cancers, the company sees an opportunity for innovative radiopharmaceutical therapeutics to follow a similar path. RayzeBio believes its strategic investments in building a robust product pipeline, development capabilities, and manufacturing infrastructure position the company to be an industry-leading pioneer in the broad application of RPT for cancer.

 

Werewolf Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:HOWL) is an innovative clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of therapeutics engineered to stimulate the body’s immune system for the treatment of cancer. We are leveraging our proprietary PREDATOR™ platform to design conditionally activated molecules that stimulate both adaptive and innate immunity with the goal of addressing the limitations of conventional proinflammatory immune therapies. Our INDUKINE™ molecules are intended to remain inactive in peripheral tissue yet activate selectively in the tumor microenvironment. Our most advanced product candidates, WTX-124 and WTX-330, are systemically delivered, conditionally activated Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and Interleukin-12 (IL-12) INDUKINE molecules for the treatment of solid tumors. WTX-124 is in development as a monotherapy and in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in multiple solid tumor types. WTX-330 is in development as a single agent in refractory and/or immunotherapy unresponsive or resistant advanced or metastatic solid tumors and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

 

Creative Medical Technology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CELZ) is a biotechnology company dedicated to the advancement of identifying and translating novel immediately deployable FDA registered biological therapeutics in the fields of immunotherapy, endocrinology, urology, gynecology and orthopaedics.

 

Kneat Solutions (TSX: KSI) a Canadian company with operational headquarters in Limerick, Ireland, develops and markets the next-generation Kneat Gx SaaS platform. Multiple business work processes can be configured on the platform from equipment to computer validation, through to quality document management. Kneat's software allows users to author, review, approve, execute testing online, manage any exceptions, and post-approve final deliverables in a controlled FDA 21 CFR Part 11/ EU Annex 11-compliant platform.

Excerpt:

 

By M. Marin

 

Expect no disruption from management change; increased emphasis on studying Hemopurifier® in oncology likely…

 

Aethlon Medical (NASDAQ:AEMD) appointed CFO James Frakes as interim CEO. We expect no disruption as a result of the management change – Mr. Frakes has been with Aethlon since 2008 & knows the company well, in our view. Moreover, including Aethlon, he has had 27 years of CFO level financial responsibility with publicly traded companies. We anticipate increased emphasis on studying the Hemopurifier® in the oncology area, as well as potential cost containment measures when possible, are likely.

 

Mr. Frakes, who was also appointed as a member of the company's board, will continue his responsibilities as CFO. In addition, Guy Cipriani has been named as the company's Chief Operating Officer. He had been Aethlon’s Chief Business Officer prior to assuming the COO role. Mr. Cipriani has resigned from the Aethlon board. We do not anticipate major changes as a result of this management shift, although we believe the company is likely to emphasize its clinical efforts in the field of oncology.

 

… and potential cost containment measures when possible…

 

Mr. Frakes has been with Aethlon since January 2008 and therefore knows the company well, in our view. Moreover, including his role at Aethlon, he has had 27 years of CFO level financial responsibility with publicly traded companies, as noted. We do not anticipate a major shift in strategy as a result of this management change, as noted, other than likely increased emphasis on studying the Hemopurifier® in the oncology area and potential cost containment efforts when possible.

 

Expect cash balance, lowering costs where possible, plus accessing ATM funding will enable company to continue moving Hemopurifier forward towards potential regulatory approval, commercialization

 

We believe lowering costs where possible, plus accessing funding, will enable the company to continue moving the Hemopurifier forward in clinical studies towards potential regulatory approval and commercialization. Under James Frakes’ leadership as CFO, the company put in place an ATM (At The Market offering) to enhance its financial flexibility. AEMD believes its cash balance is sufficient to fund operations for at least a year. We believe lowering costs where possible, plus accessing ATM funding, will enable the company to continue moving the Hemopurifier forward in clinical studies towards potential regulatory approval and commercialization. If Aethlon can demonstrate the Hemopurifier’s ability to improve outcomes of cancer patients suffering from a variety of different cancer types, we would anticipate strong commercial prospects for the device.

 

… majority of patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors do not respond; studying whether Hemopurifier with checkpoint inhibitors can improve overall patient outcomes

 

The company recently received clearance from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI), which is India’s central drug authority, to conduct a phase 1 safety, feasibility and dose-finding trial of the Hemopurifier® in patients with solid tumors who have stable or progressive disease during anti-PD-1 monotherapy treatment such as Keytruda® or Opdivo®. PD-1, or Programmed Cell Death Protein 1, is a protein found on the cell surface that plays a role in inhibiting immune responses. Treatment such as Keytruda®, a type of immunotherapy, helps to block the PD-1 pathway to prevent cancer cells from hiding and, in turn, help the immune system work. While Keytruda® and other anti-PD-1 monotherapy treatments represent a substantial advance in cancer treatment, with certain tumor types it does not work on the majority of cancer patients.

 

Checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda have been used to treat 25+ different types of cancer. By launching a basket oncology trial to study the impact of the Hemopurifier on a variety of cancerous tumors, AEMD believes it can generate data to support the Hemopurifier’s ability to improve outcomes, when combined with checkpoint inhibitor treatment, in multiple tumor types where cancer associated extracellular vesicles may promote immune suppression and resistance to anti-PD-1 antibodies. Given the Hemopurifier’s demonstrated ability to remove exosomes, management believes the device can be used to affect improved outcomes in a number of cancers.

 

Moreover, by focusing on multiple cancers, the company has also expanded the opportunities for patient enrollment, as well as for building a database to support regulatory approval. By including both Keytruda and Opdivo can also facilitate patient enrollments.

 

About Aethlon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEMD)

Aethlon Medical is a medical therapeutic company focused on developing the Hemopurifier, a clinical stage immunotherapeutic device which is designed to combat cancer and life-threatening viral infections and for use in organ transplantation. In human studies, the Hemopurifier has demonstrated the removal of life-threatening viruses and harmful exosomes from blood utilizing its proprietary lectin-based technology. This action has potential applications in cancer, where exosomes may promote immune suppression and metastasis, and in life-threatening infectious diseases. The Hemopurifier is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designated Breakthrough Device indicated for the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer who are either unresponsive to or intolerant of standard of care therapy, and with cancer types in which exosomes have been shown to participate in the development or severity of the disease. The Hemopurifier also holds an FDA Breakthrough Device designation and an open Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application related to the treatment of life-threatening viruses that are not addressed with approved therapies.
