Satoreotide combines Ariceum’s proprietary peptide satoreotide - a first-in-class and best-in-class antagonist of the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) - with the radioactive isotope ‘payload’ 177Lutetium. SSTR2 is a cell surface protein often overexpressed in certain cancers, including NETs and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

This strategic initiative underscores Branded Legacy's unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. The expansion project is set to infuse over $500,000 worth of inventory into the company, reinforcing its position as a leader in the market.

“Completing the enrollment of the recommended phase 2 dose patient expansion cohort is an important milestone as the data from this trial guides further development plans and associated discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),” said Daniel Passeri, chief executive officer of Cue Biopharma.

Michelle Fraser, head of cell and gene therapy at Revvity, underscores the importance of providing broad access to this technology: "Base editing has been extensively demonstrated in numerous studies to safely and precisely control the correction of single base changes at multiple target sites, simultaneously. This streamlined approach simplifies complex multi-gene editing, holding great promise for the development of new cell therapies targeting rare inherited genetic diseases, cancer, and in the creation of universal donor cells as the foundation of allogeneic cell therapies."

The EV-302 study met its dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), compared to chemotherapy. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee determined that OS crossed the pre-specified efficacy boundary at interim analysis. The safety results of the combination are consistent with those of enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab previously reported in cisplatin-ineligible patients with la/mUC.

"Dosing the first patient, on time, is a testament to our commitment to the clinical development of DA-1241 in patients with NASH," stated Hyung Heon Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroBo. "Based on the pre-clinical and clinical evidence generated to date, DA-1241 has demonstrated reduced hepatic steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and liver fibrosis, while also improving glucose control, and was shown to be well tolerated in both healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Given this data, we believe that the mechanism of action of this promising cardiometabolic asset will translate into a safe and effective treatment for NASH, a disease with no current treatment options. The two-part design of this trial provides optionality for a potential interim analysis in the first half of 2024 and we expect to report the full data in the second half of 2024."
