Why Cynata is hopeful its COVID treatment trial will succeed where others have failed – Business News Australia

Cynata Therapeutics (ASX: CYP), founded by two clever stem cell researchers and one wise Australian techpreneur, is in the process of developing a treatment for COVID-19.

Using its in-house stem cell technology Cymerus, the ASX-listed biotech hopes to treat one of the deadliest complications of COVID-19 -acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

In doing so Cynata would achieve what competitor Mesoblast (ASX: MSB) couldn't with FDA approval.

By deploying an industrialised approach to stem cell therapeutics, Cynata CEO Ross Macdonald (pictured) is confident the clinical trial process won't leave the company hamstrung.

In 1981 scientists discovered a way to derive embryonic stem cells from early mouse embryos.

The discovery thrilled scientists, and eventually led to the development of a method to do the same in lab-grown human embryos by 1998.

While there have been plenty of discussions surrounding the ethics of using of embryonic stem cells, these major scientific movements have pushed researchers to discover new and inventive ways of treating a whole raft of diseases and infections.

One such researcher, Dr Ian Dixon, saw potential for the use of mesenschymal stem cells (MSCs) - a type of stem cell that can differentiate into a variety of cell types enabling the treatment of many diseases and infections.

However there was still an obstacle to overcome: how do you mass produce enough cells needed to commercialise a treatment?

Luckily, two researchers at the University of Wisconson, Professor Igor Slukvin and Dr Maksym Vodyanik, had invented a biotechnological breakthrough called Cymerus.

The technology was able to do exactly what Dixon needed: the consistent manufacture of MSCs on an ultra-large scale; basically what Henry Ford did to the industrialisation of the auto industry, but for stem cells.

So in 2003 Dixon partnered with the two researchers to start Cynata - now an ASX-listed biotechnology company trialing a number of different treatments for a wide variety of ailments.

Most recently, Cynata's focus has been on developing a treatment for a complication of COVID-19 called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

The complication ravages COVID-19 infected patients, destroying their organs through what is known as a cytokine storm. The complication is estimated to kill up to half of COVID-19 patients that suffer from it.

Melbourne-based Cynata is currently in the very early stages of its investigation into whether its MSCs will be able to treat the coronavirus complication overwhelming hospitals globally.

If this all sounds familiar, you might be thinking of another ASX-listed biotech called Mesoblast (ASX: MSB).

In March last year Mesoblast, also based in Melbourne, saw its shares surge after announcing plans to evaluate its stem cell treatment solutions on COVID-19 patients.

The group commenced the arduous clinical trial process to see if its remestemcel-L therapy could treat ARDS by using bone marrow aspirate from healthy donors - a similar approach the company had already taken to treat a condition many suffer from after receiving bone marrow transplants.

Mesoblast was riding high on the ASX following positive announcements surrounding the clinical traila process, especially back in April 2020 when a trial at New York City's Mt Sinai hospital found its remestemcel-L therpay achieved "remarkable" results.

Serious attention gathered around Mesoblast, with the company even securing $138 in funds from investors to continue its important research.

The company went so far as to sign a commercialisation deal for the COVID-19 treatment with Novartis, and the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) fast tracked the approvals process for the potential game-changing treatment.

However, in December 2020, Mesoblast hit a stumbling block.

Mesoblast's COVID-19 treatment flunked the test - its remestemcel-L therapy failed to show a lower mortality rate for patients in the prescribed 30-day timeframe of treatment.

At that point Cynata had commenced research into its own ARDS treatment. But did Mesoblast's failure unnerve Cynata CEO Ross Macdonald? Not a chance.

"I'm more confident that our trial will be successful where theirs was a failure," Macdonald said.

"If you use a process like we have developed - we don't rely on multiple different [stem cell] donations. You start with exactly the same material every time."

To explain, Macdonald used the analogy of a local caf; you normally expect a coffee from one caf to taste more or less exactly the same every time you go there - the same beans are used every time.

Whereas Macdonald said Mesoblast's process is like going to the same caf every day, but each visit they use different beans from a different supplier which leads to inconsistency in taste and flavour.

Cynata's approach with its MSCs is in line with the first example - what you get the first time from them will be replicated in each and every dose of the drug - while MSB's is like the latter.

"Yes, you still got the coffee, but the experience of the taste is totally different than it was yesterday," he said.

"The FDA said to Mesoblast, well you've got a manufacturing problem that is reliant upon multiple donors prepared to donate bone marrow and that is flawed.

"So with that in mind it's perhaps not surprising that they had a pretty disappointing result in the clinical trials."

Additionally, Macdonald said the initial investor reactions to MSB's early COVID-19 trail results were overblown.

"The initial data from their trial that got everybody excited was, in my view, quite flawed, because they said "look at how many patients are dying in intensive care units with COVID compared the patients that we treated," he said.

"But the reality of the situation was quite different. The control group at that time - the death rate was way, way higher than you would typically see for ARDS, whether its COVID or anything else. And it was simply because of the chaos that existed in intensive care units in New York in the first wave.

"So we think that the initial enthusiasm was perhaps a little misguided."

When asked why Mesoblast is receiving so much attention compared to Cynata, especially considering the above, Macdonald said it was simply because MSB is bigger and has been around for longer. For context, MSB has a market capitalisation of $1.46 billion, whereas Cynata's is just $94.56 million.

"I'd love to know why there is less attention, and how we can get our market cap above a billion dollars," joked Macdonald.

"I think the answer though is that they've been around for a lot longer than we have, they have spent a hell of a lot more money than we've spent - their monthly spend is more than we've spent for pretty much our entire existence.

"But I think the fundamental reason why is that data drives value in biotech, so the more clinical data you generate that shows your product works, the more attention you attract from investors."

That's not to say Cynata is being totally ignored in favour of the larger Mesoblast.

The company secured a $15 million placement led by $10 million from healthcare investor BioScience Managers in December.

The funds will be used to expand Cynata's clinical development pipeline and scale their operations in Australia.

As such, the company is preparing to expand its clinical development pipeline to include idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, renal transplantation, and diabetic foot ulcers.

"So we're starting to garner that attention now that says two things - one, cell therapies are definitely a medical revolution and two, Cynata is part of that new generation of companies," Macdonald said.

As for the company's pipeline, in addition to the COVID treatment trials, Cynata is planning on launching three new clinical candidates that will get under way this year.

There's also Cynata's osteoarthritis trial, which Macdonald describes as significant for the biotech company; with 2 million patients in Australia and 30 million in the United States the company is hoping to tap into an $11 billion plus addressable market.

"It will ultimately show whether MSCs are useful in that particularly devastating condition," he said.

"It doesn't just affect people who want to go and play golf or tennis, it affects, particularly manual labourers who can no longer work.

"So the cost to the economy of osteoarthritis is quite significant, which is of course one of the reasons why the Australian Government is funding this trial."

Missouri State Representative Indicted Over Alleged Stem Cell Therapy Scam – IFLScience

Tricia Derges, a member of the Missouri House of Representatives and doctor, has been indicted by a grand jury for among other things allegedly injecting people with amniotic fluid and telling them mesenchymal stem cells made it a miracle cure. Derges has pled not guilty, and IFLScience cannot assess the accuracy of the charges. However, the case brings attention to growing use of unproven and dangerous stem cell treatments.

The case against Derges is being taken by Tim Garrison, the U.S. Attorney for Missouri's Western District. Garrison alleges Derges acquired stem cell-free amniotic fluid and told patients it contained stem cells that would cure a variety of conditions, charging them four times what the fluid cost her to inject them with it. Garrison charged Derges with false statements over the use of the fluid, as well as illegal distribution of controlled substances and wire fraud in relation to other activities at the clinics she runs.

Among long posts on her Facebook page professing her innocence, Derges posted a picture of David and Goliath, writing, I actually thought that I was making a difference. What I didnt account for was how much satan would fight back.

Whatever the truth of the allegations in Derges' specific case, by charging astate representative, Garrison has highlighted what is definitely a growing problem: deceptive use of stem cell therapies.

Multipotent stem cells have the remarkable capacity to convert into the cells that make up many bodily tissues. The hematopoietic stem cells have been used for decades to treat leukemia with well-proven results. Hundreds of other applications are either under investigation in the laboratory, or currently in clinical trials, but a much smaller number have been approved by America's FDA and equivalent bodies worldwide.

Understandably, many people don't feel able to wait, making them vulnerable to quack doctors for whom stem cells are the 21st Century snake oil. Unlike embryonic stem cells, which often originate from abortions, amniotic stem cells are seen as an alternative acceptable to pro-life individuals. However, having been discovered more recently, research into them is less advanced, making any therapeutic value speculative.

Dirges' vocal opposition to abortionpresumably made amniotic cells attractive to her for this reason, but Garrison alleges the fluid Derges was using didn't even contain stem cells. Moreover, he claims the University of Utah where Derges bought the fluid told her that, so she would have known it couldn't possibly have been effective.

Derges gained a medical degree from the Caribbean Medical University in Curaao and ran a series of low-cost medical clinics, where volunteers saw patients and recommended to her what medication to prescribe. Although licensed as an assistant physician, Derges was not accepted into a post-graduate residency program and was not licensed as a physician. She fought to change licensing rules, and ran for Missouri state District 140, narrowly winning the Republican primary before being unopposed last November. Since being elected, Derges has made changing the law on physician licensing her first priority.

In a statement, Garrison allegedDerges used the fluid on patients with everything from Lyme disease to erectile dysfunction and kidney disease, despite the improbability a single fluid would cure such different ills. Although Derges' clinics are famous for charging just $5 for an ordinary visit, the costs of this treatment averaged $40,000 per patient.

The program came to Garrison's attention after she appeared on television claiming the same amniotic fluid should be used to treat COVID-19 and making similar claims on Facebook.

Push on to Allow Expanded Human-Embryo Research – National Review

(gorodenkoff/Getty Images)

Back when embryonic-stem-cell and other types of experimentation on early embryos commenced, the scientists promised they would always limit their activities to embryos in Petri dishes to the maximum of 14 days in development. Just a collection of undifferentiated cells, they sophistically maintained. Well stop when the nervous system begins to develop.

It was all a ruse. The 14 day rule, as it came to be known, only prevented that which could not be done. You see, the state of the science was such that embryos could not be maintained for longer. But it assuaged the peasants. Besides, the scientists knew that the boundary wasnt intended to be permanent. It was just a way station until embryos could be maintained outside a womans body for more than two weeks.

That time is now arriving, and so, of course, the push is now on to expand the limit to 28 days.

How is that justified, based on past assurances? Well, first deploy relativism.

Scientifically, an embryo is an embryo, wherever it might be located. But well pretend that what really matters regarding moral value is geography. From The Time has Come to Extend the 14-Day Limit:

Elsejin Kingma considers the idea that the location of an embryowhether it is in a pregnant woman or in a petri-dishmay affect its moral status and/or value. She argues that it is not just the stage of the embryo that is relevant to its moral status or value, but whether it is, or will be, in an environment that promotes its further development. She concludes that this means there is (further) good reason for a moral distinction between research embryos and reproductive implanted embryos.

Given that almost all if not all of these bioethicists believe in abortion on demand, this is a load of hooey. Yes, that is the logic, and the paper goes there:

Notwithstanding the importance of the scientific basis for human embryo research, there are ethical and philosophical reasons why this rule is now ready for amendment.

In the UK, in line with the Abortion Act 1967, an abortion is legally permitted up to the 24th week of pregnancy. Conventionally, a human embryo is termed a fetus from 9 weeks after fertilisation. It is legal to abort an embryo or fetus substantially older than 14 days, and, with appropriate consent, to do research on its tissues, yet it is illegal to experiment on an embryo beyond 14 days that was never to be implanted.

Why stop at 28 days? What are the limiting principles? What is the permanent line with regard to unborn life beyond which science will never be allowed to go regardless of the potential knowledge to be attained especially in the U.S., where some states have removed gestational limits on abortion and that is the goal of the national Democratic Party and Biden administration?I cant see any.

How is this excused? Princetons Peter Singer the New York Times favorite moral philosopher and other bioethicists claim that human life, per se, is morally irrelevant. What matters are capacities such as self-awareness that earn that human being the label of person.

Embryos are not conscious. Neither are fetuses. They are, hence, human non-persons. So why not permit experimentation and body-part harvesting through the ninth month since, in essence, unborn life are mere things? Indeed, before that time arrives, why not pay women to gestate longer before obtaining an abortion so we could get the parts an odious idea already proposed in the bioethics literature.

This isnt just philosophical musing. We may soon have the ability to maintain fetuses in artificial wombs. Once that happens, what is to prevent scientists from creating embryos, implanting them in artificial wombs and treating fetuses as a mere natural resource to be exploited and harvested?

Live fetal experimentation was conducted in the late 60s, after all, and was only stopped (pre-Roe) because people still believed in the sanctity of human life. That great moral principle no longer holds sway over great swaths of society. The important thing now is preventing suffering by almost any means necessary.

I could go on and on, and probably will. But the bottom line for this post is this: When scientists and bioethicists promise to draw ethical lines about experimenting on unborn life, they dont really mean it. Its all a big con. They will only agree to forbid that which they cannot yet do. And once they can go there, the lines will be redrawn to permit them to do whatever they want.

And then they wonder, Where is the trust?

New Research Study Investigates Metformin as a Therapy to Promote Brain Repair and Reduce Disability in Children and Young Adults with MS -…

February 02, 2021 06:00 ET | Source: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

multilang-release

TORONTO, Feb. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada announced $400,000 in funding to support a pilot clinical trial to investigate the use of metformin as a therapy for children and young adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). In partnership with Stem Cell Network (SCN) and Ontario Institute for Regenerative Medicine (OIRM), this investment increases the funding for the trial to $1 million. These partnerships are critical for leveraging more research dollars and increased impact for the benefit of Canadian health. Metformin, a widely-used and safe drug prescribed for type 2 diabetes, is a therapeutic agent that may promote brain repair and reduce disability following white matter damage in people living with MS.

Damage to white matter in the brain occurs in people with MS resulting in sensory, motor, and cognitive problems. Preclinical evidence shows metformin enhances oligodendrocytes cells that produce myelin and promotes white matter repair in animal models and in youth with radiation-induced brain injury. This research aims to translate these preclinical findings from animal and human studies into clinical practice by conducting a pilot feasibility trial.

Dr. Ann Yeh (The Hospital for Sick Children [SickKids], University of Toronto) is the lead investigator of the study and she will be joined by a team of nine Canadian researchers.

Our team is very excited about being able to move this trial forward, and for the collaborations across multiple different scientific areas that the collaborative grant will allow. This is truly a team effort that started at the bench at SickKids in the lab of Dr. Freda Miller and has set the stage for a clinical trial that could potentially improve outcomes for children and young adults living with MS, says Dr. Ann Yeh, Staff Physician, Division of Neurology and Senior Associate Scientist, Neurosciences & Mental Health at SickKids.

This trial is a unique opportunity to advance novel therapies that target regeneration and repair to help reverse the progressive nature of MS by re-purposing a safe, low-cost treatment, says Dr. Pamela Valentine president and CEO, MS Society of Canada. The MS Society is thrilled to partner with SCN and OIRM in funding this project that has the potential to change the life course, and transform treatment and care for youth and people living with MS.

The trial is the outcome of several years of work and support among researchers and partners involved in this project. It is set to run for three years and aims to recruit 30 participants between the ages of 10 to 25 who have been diagnosed with MS.
