$14.6M Grant to Explore a Therapy to Control HIV Without Meds – POZ

In nearly 40 years of the HIV epidemic, only two people have likely been cured of the virus. Both scenarios resulted from stem cell transplants needed to fight blood cancers such as leukemia. Inspired by these two cases, a team of scientists is studying a multipronged way to potentially control HIV without medication. It involves two different genetic alterations of immune cells and with a safer method of stem cell transplants, also referred to as bone marrow transplants, a procedure that is generally toxic and dangerous.

The research is being funded by a five-year $14.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. The scientists coleading the preclinical studies are Paula Cannon, PhD, a distinguished professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, and Hans-Peter Kiem, MD, PhD, who directs the stem cell and gene therapy program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, also known as Fred Hutch. According to a Keck School of Medicine press release, the two other main partners are David Scadden, MD, a bone marrow transplant specialist and professor at Harvard University and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, and the biotechnology company Magenta Therapeutics.

In the HIV cure scenariosinvolving the so-called Berlin and London patientsboth men received stem cell transplants from donors with a natural genetic mutation that made them resistant to HIV. Specifically, their genes resulted in immune cells that lack CCR5 receptors on their surface (HIV latches onto these receptors to infect cells). Unfortunately, this method isnt viable for the nearly 38 million people worldwide living with HIV. Not only is it expensive, toxic and riskyit involves wiping out the patients immune system and replacing it with the new immune cellsbut it also requires matched donors who are CCR5 negative. According to the press release, about 1% of the population have this mutation.

With funding from this new grant, researchers hope to overcome these challenges in several ways. First, Cannon has already developed a gene-editing method to remove the CCR5 receptors from a patients own stem cells. She now hopes to further genetically engineer stem cells so they release antibodies that block HIV.

Our engineered cells will be good neighbors, Cannon said in the press release. They secrete these protective molecules so that other cells, even if they arent engineered to be CCR5 negative, have some chance of being protected.

Fred Hutchs Kiem will use CAR-T therapya new method of genetically modifying immune cells that is emerging out of cancer researchwith the goal of creating T cells that attack HIV-infected cells.

In addition, other scientists involved in the federal grant aim to develop less toxic methods of bone marrow transplantationfor example, by reducing the amount of chemotherapy required and speeding up the process of creating the new immune system.

The research finding could translate to other illnesses, such as cancer, sickle cell anemia and autoimmune disorders.

A home run would be that we completely cure people of HIV, Cannon said. What Id be fine with is the idea that somebody no longer needs to take anti-HIV drugs every day because their immune system is keeping the virus under control so that it no longer causes health problems and, importantly, they cant transmit it to anybody else.

For the latest on the cure cases, see Famed London Man Probably Cured of HIV from earlier this year. And in related news, see $14M Federal Grant to Research CAR-T Gene Therapy to Cure HIV.

Talaris Therapeutics Announces Collaboration With Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates to Advance Preclinical Study of Tolerance Induction to Organs From…

BOSTON & LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Talaris Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company developing transformative cell therapies that have the potential to induce durable immune tolerance across a range of indications, today announced a collaboration with Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates (KODA). KODA is an independent, non-profit organ and tissue procurement organization that facilitates deceased donor transplants throughout Kentucky, southern Indiana and western West Virginia. The collaboration will advance preclinical studies of the potential of Talaris allogeneic cell therapy to induce immune tolerance to an organ from a deceased donor.

Organ donation from deceased donors makes possible more than 80 percent of solid organ transplants in the U.S. These transplants are frequently lifesaving, but they bring the burden of lifelong immunosuppression for organ recipients, which puts patients at heightened risk of infection as well as a number of other potentially serious side effects. Additionally, immunosuppressant drugs are toxic to the kidneys over time, which can result in declining kidney function and necessitate another organ transplant.

Talaris novel cell therapy, FCR001, has shown promising potential to eliminate the need for immunosuppression among recipients of kidney transplants from living donors. Our collaboration with KODA will be an important step toward potentially extending this promise to recipients of organ transplants from deceased donors as well, said Scott Requadt, Chief Executive Officer of Talaris.

Within the collaboration, KODA, after authorization from the donors family, will recover vertebrae from deceased organ donors. Researchers at Talaris will then isolate stem cells from the vertebrae, with the goal of demonstrating the feasibility of producing FCR001 from vertebral bone marrow. These preclinical studies will serve as a first step toward enabling future clinical studies to evaluate whether FCR001 administered alongside organ transplantation can induce durable immune tolerance to an organ from a deceased donor.

The generosity organ donors and their families display is measureless. By initiating this collaboration with Talaris, we hope to further honor their gift by advancing an important treatment for transplant recipients with the potential to improve many individuals lives, said Julie Bergin, RN, BSN, MHA, President & Chief Executive Officer of KODA.

About Talaris Therapeutics

Alexion and Caelum Biosciences Announce Start of Phase 3 Studies of CAEL-101 in AL Amyloidosis – Business Wire

BOSTON & BORDENTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) and Caelum Biosciences today announced the initiation of the Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival (CARES) Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate CAEL-101, a first-in-class amyloid fibril targeted therapy, in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy in AL amyloidosis. The CARES clinical program includes two parallel Phase 3 studies one in patients with Mayo stage IIIa disease and one in patients with Mayo stage IIIb disease and will collectively enroll approximately 370 patients globally. Enrollment is underway in both studies. The primary objective of the clinical program is to assess overall survival.

In AL amyloidosis, misfolded amyloid proteins can build up in many organs throughout the body, including the heart and kidneys, causing significant damage to these organs and impairing their function. While current treatments address the bone marrow disorder that creates the misfolded amyloid proteins, there are no approved therapies for the significant organ damage the disease causes, said John Orloff, M.D., Executive Vice President and Head of Research and Development at Alexion. CAEL-101 has the potential to be the first treatment to target and remove the amyloid deposits from these organs. Data from Phase 1 studies suggest that this treatment approach may improve organ function and long-term survival. We look forward to investigating this further in the Phase 3 clinical program.

AL amyloidosis is particularly devastating when it affects the heart, with median survival in these patients of less than one year following diagnosis, said Michael Spector, President and Chief Executive Officer of Caelum. Long-term survival data from AL amyloidosis patients treated with CAEL-101 in the Phase 1a/1b study showed that 78 percent were still alive after a median follow-up time of more than three years. We recognize the urgent need for new treatments that address the organ damage caused by AL amyloidosis and are working together with the AL amyloidosis community and Alexion to advance the Phase 3 clinical program as quickly as possible.

About the CARES Phase 3 Clinical Program

The CARES clinical program consists of two parallel double-blind, randomized, event-driven global Phase 3 studies, which are evaluating the efficacy and safety of CAEL-101 in AL amyloidosis patients who are newly diagnosed and nave to standard of care (SoC) treatment (cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (CyBorD) chemotherapy). One study is enrolling approximately 260 patients with Mayo stage IIIa disease and one study is enrolling approximately 110 patients with Mayo stage IIIb disease. The studies will be conducted at approximately 70 sites across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Israel, Japan, and Australia.

In each study, participants are being randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either CAEL-101 plus SoC or placebo plus SoC once weekly for four weeks. This will be followed by a maintenance dose administered every two weeks until the last patient enrolled completes at least 50 weeks of treatment. Patients will continue follow-up visits every 12 weeks.

The primary study objectives are overall survival and the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101. Key secondary objectives will assess functional improvement in the six-minute walk test (6MWT), quality of life measures (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Score & Short Form 36 version 2 Physical Component Score) and cardiac improvement (Global Longitudinal Strain, or GLS).

Phase 2 Study Results

The Phase 2 open-label dose escalation study was conducted to investigate higher doses of CAEL-101 than had been evaluated in Phase 1 studies with a primary objective to identify the best dose to advance into Phase 3 development. The study evaluated the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 in 13 AL amyloidosis patients at three study sites who received up to 1000 mg/m2 of CAEL-101 (two times the Phase 1 dose) administered in combination with SoC treatment. The study met its primary objectives, supporting the safety and tolerability of CAEL-101 and the selection of the 1000 mg/m2 dose for the Phase 3 study.

Phase 1a/1b Long-Term Follow-Up Results Presented at ISA 2020

As previously reported, the Phase 1a/1b study of CAEL-101 was the first clinical trial to demonstrate improvement in cardiac function via GLS after treatment with an amyloid fibril targeted therapy in AL amyloidosis patients with amyloid cardiac involvement. New long-term follow-up data from the Phase 1a/1b study will be presented at the virtual International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA), September 14 to 18, 2020, in the poster titled, Long term follow-up of patients with AL amyloidosis treated on a phase 1 study of Anti-Amyloid Monoclonal Antibody CAEL-101 (Abstract #342, Divaya Bhutani, M.D., et. al, Columbia University Medical Center). These data demonstrate 78 percent survival (15/19) at a median follow-up of more than three years (37 months) in AL amyloidosis patients treated with CAEL-101 as well as durable organ response among evaluable patients, further supporting the advancement of CAEL-101 into Phase 3 development.

About CAEL-101

CAEL-101 is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to improve organ function by reducing or eliminating amyloid deposits in the tissues and organs of patients with AL amyloidosis. The antibody is designed to bind to misfolded light chain protein and amyloid and shows binding to both kappa and lambda subtypes. In a Phase 1a/1b study, CAEL-101 demonstrated improved organ function, including cardiac and renal function, in 27 patients with relapsed and refractory AL amyloidosis who had previously not had an organ response to standard of care therapy. CAEL-101 has received Orphan Drug Designation from both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicine Agency as a therapy for patients with AL amyloidosis.

About AL Amyloidosis

AL amyloidosis is a rare systemic disorder caused by an abnormality of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Misfolded immunoglobulin light chains produced by plasma cells aggregate and form fibrils that deposit in tissues and organs. This deposition can cause widespread and progressive organ damage and high mortality rates, with death most frequently occurring as a result of cardiac failure. Current standard of care includes plasma cell directed chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant, but these therapies do not address the organ dysfunction caused by amyloid deposition, and up to 80 percent of patients are ineligible for transplant.

AL amyloidosis is a rare disease but is the most common form of amyloidosis. There are approximately 22,000 patients across the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. AL amyloidosis has a one-year mortality rate of 47 percent, 76 percent of which is caused by cardiac amyloidosis.

About Ladiratuzumab Vedotin

Ladiratuzumab vedotin is a novel investigational ADC targeted to LIV-1. Most metastatic breast cancers express LIV-1, which also has been detected in several other cancers, including lung, head and neck, esophageal and gastric. Ladiratuzumab vedotin utilizes Seattle Genetics proprietary ADC technology and consists of a LIV-1-targeted monoclonal antibody linked to a potent microtubule-disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) by a protease-cleavable linker. This novel ADC is designed to bind to LIV-1 on cancer cells and release the cell-killing agent into target cells upon internalization. Ladiratuzumab vedotin may also cause antitumor activity through other mechanisms, including activation of an immune response by induction of immunogenic cell death.

About TUKYSA (tucatinib)

TUKYSA is an oral, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of HER2, a protein that contributes to cancer cell growth. TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2020 for adult patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, including patients with brain metastases, who have received one or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. In addition, TUKYSA received approval in Canada, Singapore, Australia and Switzerland under the Project Orbis initiative of the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence that provides a framework for concurrent submission and review of oncology products among international partners. A marketing application is under review in the European Union.

TUKYSA is being evaluated in several ongoing clinical trials and additional studies are planned. Current trials include the following:

About KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) Injection, 100 mg

KEYTRUDA is an anti-PD-1 therapy that works by increasing the ability of the bodys immune system to help detect and fight tumor cells. KEYTRUDA is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby activating T lymphocytes which may affect both tumor cells and healthy cells.

Merck has the industrys largest immuno-oncology clinical research program. There are currently more than 1,200 trials studying KEYTRUDA across a wide variety of cancers and treatment settings. The KEYTRUDA clinical program seeks to understand the role of KEYTRUDA across cancers and the factors that may predict a patient's likelihood of benefitting from treatment with KEYTRUDA, including exploring several different biomarkers.

Airdrie father with incurable cancer raises $3,600 for research – Londoner

Chris MacDonald, pictured far right, and his family have been raising funds for cancer research through the Greg Roberts Memorial Myeloma Walk/Run. Photo by Daniel Kurz jpeg, AI

To raise funds for cancer research, an Airdrie man and his family have participated in the fifth annual Greg Roberts Memorial Myeloma Walk/Run.

Chris MacDonald, who is an active and hands-on father of a 17-year-old boy, a 12-year-old girl, and a baby girl with angel wings, was first diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2017.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common form of blood cancer, which affects a type of immune cell called the plasma cell that is found in the bone marrow.

The news was pretty devastating, said his wife Dominique MacDonald.

What upset us most was when the doctors told us that the average life expectancy was 10 years. When youre 47 years old with kids, thats just not long enough.

Shortly after his diagnosis, Chris was hospitalized for over six weeks for extensive chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, which was very difficult for their family to navigate.

Were really lucky to be living here in Airdrie where we have so much support, said MacDonald.

Our community has really rallied around us and put in extra effort to try to maintain the normal routines of our kids. It really has made a difference in how weve been able to cope and manage to live every day.

After nearly two years in stable condition, their family life had almost returned to normal. Unfortunately, the treatments didnt stop the progression of the disease.

Then in the spring of 2020, Chris began to experience hearing loss in his left ear and intense pain in his jaw. He underwent more tests, which revealed that a tumour in his jaw that had caused a hairline fracture and tumours in both of his legs.

He has begun a new treatment plan that will include weekly chemotherapy injections for the rest of his life.

The myeloma is back so soon, said MacDonald.

We are so lucky to have access to a team of experts to help us through this and to have options. We have a treatment plan, and we are ready to fight this. Hes doing pretty well, considering his recent chemotherapy treatments. Going forward, we are just trying to keep his pain under control.

The family remains hopeful that the next round of treatments will keep the myeloma at bay long enough for Chris to return to doing what he loves most, such as playing hockey and softball, coaching his sons lacrosse team, and spending time with his family.

Every day, nine Canadians are diagnosed with myeloma. While there is currently no cure, those people who have been diagnosed are living longer and better lives, thanks to recent breakthroughs in treatment.

On Sunday, Sept. 13, the MacDonald family participated in the fifth annual Greg Roberts Memorial Myeloma Walk/Run with the original goal of raising $1,000 towards cancer research.

Through online fundraising, their team of 14 was able to raise just over $3,600.

Its devastating that there are terminal cancers that still exist, even when theyre caught early, said MacDonald.

Research has come a long way, but we need to find a cure. Right now, were happy and thankful for the research in getting us to this point.

Nancy Lane, MD: The State of Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis – MD Magazine

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are common conditions in which millions of patients are affected worldwide. Despite the common nature of the diseases, patients are not often regularly scanned to see if they have 1 of them. Instead, they suffer pain and have an increased risk of fragility fractures and worse quality of life.

Nancy Lane, MD, of UC Davis Health is an expert in osteoarthritis and osteoporosis who spoke at the Congress of Clinical Rheumatology East 2020 meeting about the state of both diseases today. HCPLive had the opportunity to speak with Lane about the 2 spaces, popular agents for the treatments of the diseases, and why patients are being scanned regularly for the conditions.

HCPLive: Whats going on in the world of osteoarthritis right now?

Lane: It's an exciting time in the space of osteoarthritis. There's tremendous work being done in the basic science of the disease and there are some very exciting translational phase 2-type studies that are right now recruiting patients that are looking at agents that can stimulate the cartilage to grow and thicken, that can reduce the degradation and increase cartilage matrix formation. There are studies just reported where inhibitor seville 1 reduced joint replacements over 3.5 years by over 50% and a group of agents that by themselves don't reverse or slow the course of the disease, but are an actual inhibitor of pain in the joint by a novel pathway of inhibiting nerve growth factor, that compound tanezumab may be available to our patients in the early part of next year.

So, those are some examples of the excitement in terms of new therapeutics. In addition, although I will not be spending a lot of time talking about this, there finally has been a way to get stem cells to turn into cartilage and grow cartilage. It's a little bit complicated, but it requires some skeletal stem cells and then giving it a growth factor and a factor to inhibit new blood vessel formation, anti-VEGF, and cartilage has now been generated in a mouse where there's been a defect. And if we can translate any of that to the clinic, we're really going to be able to help our patients.

HCPLive: What agents are you most excited about?

Lane: Well to inhibit pain for a prolonged period of time, I'm excited about the inhibition of nerve growth factor of the tanezumab work. For the IL-1 inhibitor, the data are for canakinumab. The stem cell work is in its infancy and is being done out of Stanford.

HCPLive: Youre also an expert in osteoporosis. How do you individualize treatment for that condition?

Lane: Well, that's a great question. We look at it in terms of patients who are at high risk for fracture and we try to prevent fractures by giving them long-acting bisphosphonates or other inhibitors. Then we have patients who present to us and they've already had fragility fractures. And for those patients I will emphasize starting them on an anabolic agent, either teriparatide, abaloparatide, or romosozumab followed then by a strong and resorptive agent to maintain that bone that they have gained and maintain their improved bone strength.

HCPLive: It's interesting you bring up bisphosphonates. I was actually just looking at an abstract that was presented earlier today at the North American Young Rheumatologists Investigator Forum and the investigators noted how osteoporosis is a condition a lot of patients are not necessarily screened for. Why is that?

Lane: Well, that's a great question. There's been a sea change over the last 10 years. Ten years ago, many physicians had bone density machines in their office, and they would do the scans right there and interpret them. However, there was a change in reimbursement and it resulted in many of the bone density machines no longer being available, except in hospitals or in large clinics, which for some reason, has reduced physicians and healthcare providers interest in getting bone densities, and the result being less people are treated for their osteoporosis and then osteoporosis comes to the attention of the physician later when there's a fragility fracture. That alone is a diagnosis of osteoporosis. But actually, screening and treating people at high risk, we're lucky if we can do it, lucky if it's done at age 65.

Now, the guidelines are very clear. All women should have a bone density scan at age 65 and all men at the age of 70. Women below the age of 65 should if they've had a fragility fracture or have significant risk factors. So, all women for the most part should be screened by age 65 and all men at age 70, but that's rarely happening today. As a result, we are seeing more fragility fractures in our population.

HCPLive: How detrimental can that be?

Lane: Well, the first fracture by itself, say its a vertebral fracture, may not be detrimental. But 1 fracture significantly increase your risk of another fracture and another fracture, at which point, with the vertebral fractures, you're losing height, you're bent over, and your quality of life goes down. So, we really need to try to recognize that first fracture and get it treated. If we can't do it before the fracture, then we definitely need to do it when they first have a fragility fracture.

HCPLive: How are you able to do that without the machinery?

Lane: Well, it's difficult, but the patients who have a clinical or painful vertebral fracture, or an osteoporotic fracture fragility fracture by say, falling from a high standing height. Hopefully they will get referred to fracture liaison services or to doctors that will work them up. Otherwise, if we don't catch them at the first couple of fractures, that's a bad position to be in. So, we all have to be on the lookout for these patients. Rheumatologists are very good at identifying these patients. We see older patients with other musculoskeletal ailments and rheumatologists tend to be pretty vigilant about getting bone densities, assessing our patients, treating them, and following them.

HCPLive: Is there anything else you would like to add about osteoarthritis or osteoporosis that is happening right now?

Lane: The most important thing is that physicians recognize the need for every woman over 65 and every male over 70 to have a bone density scan. If they're treated, remember after 3 years to check their bone densities to see if they've improved, or if they haven't fractured and they've been on intravenous bisphosphonates, then they should have a drug holiday. If they've been on oral for 5 years and they arent having fractures and their bone density is good, they should be on a drug holiday and remember to follow them. Remember to see them in about 2-3 years and reassess them because many patients after these holidays slip back into needing therapy.

Another very important thing to remember is osteoporosis is like any chronic disease of aging. Once you have it, you always have it and your risk of fracture may change but you need to assess for it the rest of a patient's life.

Dr. Andreas Sauerbrey: The right orthopaedic diagnosis is essential to proper care – Steamboat Pilot and Today

Dr. Andreas Sauerbrey believes the most important factor in getting efficient and correct orthopaedic treatment is having the right diagnosis.

You need to come to a specialist who can give you the options for that diagnosis, he said.

Dr. Sauerbrey, who specializes in shoulder and upper-extremity surgery, sports medicine, and joint restoration at Steamboat Orthopaedic and Spine Institute (SOSI), is proud of the access the institute provides to so many fellowship-trained surgeons. This extra level of training and experience provides the community with orthopaedic care that is truly world class.

When you come to see us, youll get the right diagnosis, but it doesnt mean you have to have surgery, he said.

Shoulder, elbow and hand

Dr. Sauerbrey is fellowship trained in shoulder and elbow surgery from the University of Pennsylvania and in hand surgery from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He also holds a Sports Medicine Specialty Certificate.

Dr. Sauerbrey is particularly skilled in shoulder arthroscopy and reconstruction, and biologic treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factors.

For the past 20 years, Dr. Sauerbrey has performed 300 to 400 shoulder surgeries annually. He does just about every orthopaedic procedure, including knee and hip replacements, but about 60% of his work focuses on shoulders.

People have options within our practice, he said. If they dont come see me, they should see one of my partners. Theres really no reason to go out of town.

A progressive approach

Dr. Sauerbrey has been performing PRP injections since 2008. Hes particularly enthusiastic about how biomedicine has evolved in orthopaedic medicine during that time.

The biggest changes in orthopaedic medicine have been in biologics its just blown up in the last 10 years, he said.

Dr. Sauerbrey works with some of the most advanced orthopaedic companies to deliver the latest methods and treatments, which include PRP and stem cells.

The companies we use are very progressive, surgeon-driven, constantly innovating, he says. Its remarkable how much is out there, and SOSI offers it all.

PRP, the most popular injection, releases growth factors that trick the body into creating a healing response. Dr. Sauerbrey says he frequently does PRP injections in knees, shoulders and elbows. While its not going to fix mechanical injuries (such as an ACL tear), PRP, when used in the right context, can relieve pain and improve mobility.

My intention is to bring state-of-the-art medicine to Steamboat in an efficient and affordable way, he said. Together, we ensure the latest, most innovative technology available for both operative and non-operative procedures. We believe patients and their families should have the best care possible at all times.

Destined for orthopaedics

Dr. Sauerbreys brain was always mechanically oriented, so its no surprise he chose a medical field that would allow him to practice that skill on the human body.

Being good with your hands you either have it or you dont, he said. For me, it probably goes back to the days of wrenching on cars with my dad.

One of the first major decisions that medical students make about their future careers is whether they will become surgeons. For Sauerbrey, that happened by his second year of medical school. Having a mother who worked as an orthopaedic nurse for 20 years and getting the mechanical practice he did while working with his father, Sauerbrey was practically destined to become an orthopaedic surgeon.

I knew I had to do procedures, he said. Once you decide that, it eliminates half the field of potential specialties.

Community driven

With a belief that good health care should never be hard to find, Dr. Sauerbrey has committed himself to building an orthopaedic practice that puts the community first. Most of the SOSI physicians have been practicing in Yampa Valley for many years, and thats a testament to their high quality of care.

You cannot survive in a community like this if youre not doing a good job its not going to happen, he says. Youre operating on your friends and neighbors, and you have to be comfortable with that.

With an extremely active and motivated population that demands to be fixed back up so that they can return to their beloved outdoor activities, theres a real motivation to help patients get through their injuries and come out stronger on the other side.

We fix people so they can go back to what they love, Dr. Sauerbrey said. Were accountable socially here in Steamboat.
