Myant Launches Care360: AI-Powered Precision Cardiac Assessments Delivered Directly to Patients and Physicians

“There has been far too little effort to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation—the most common arrhythmia and a leading driver of stroke, heart failure, and mortality,” said Dr. Yaariv Khaykin, Chief Medical Officer of Myant. “Atrial Fibrillation leads to impaired quality of life and affects productivity, yet many patients don’t even realize they have it. Some experience palpitations, others just feel fatigued and attribute it to aging. Many physicians remain unaware of innovations in Atrial Fibrillation management that could transform care. Myant Care360, with direct Atrial Fibrillation assessment referrals, provides unprecedented access to specialized care and early intervention—strategies that have been shown in randomized studies to slow or even reverse the progression of Atrial Fibrillation.”

Clinical Trials

Mabwell Receives NMPA Approval for Clinical Trial of Novel Nectin-4 Targeting ADC in TNBC

The study includes two cohorts: Cohort A will enroll patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have previously received taxane/anthracycline-based chemotherapy and topoisomerase inhibitor based antibody-drug conjugate treatment, and will receive 9MW2821 monotherapy; Cohort B will enroll patients with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have not previously received systemic therapy, and will receive a combination treatment of 9MW2821 and a PD-1 inhibitor reports Mabwell.

Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Phage-Derived Enzyme Targets E. faecalis Biofilms to Mitigate Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, our researchers have identified a bacteriophage-derived enzyme called endolysin that targets Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. This discovery offers a promising new approach to mitigating acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation. The enzyme’s ability to specifically target harmful bacteria without affecting beneficial ones could revolutionize treatments for aGVHD.
