QOL and body composition benefits seen with novel oral T treatment – Urology Times

Posted: June 17, 2020 at 11:43 pm

New data from phase 3 clinical trials provide further evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of the first-to-market oral testosterone undecanoate treatment for hypogonadism (Jatenzo), reported Stanton Honig, MD.

Honig presented results for secondary end points from 2 randomized studies comparing the lipoprotein-coated testosterone undecanoate formulation with topical testosterone treatments showing that both the oral and gel products were associated with statistically significant improvements in psychosocial well-being and bone and body composition parameters. Safety analyses showed the oral testosterone undecanoate was associated with a modest increase in blood pressure, which was slightly higher in men with hypertension at study entry than in men with normal blood pressure and that neither the oral nor gel testosterones had any significant effect on liver function test results.

This novel formulation of testosterone undecanoate is a first-in-class oral testosterone replacement that does not have liver issues, said Honig, professor of clinical urology and director, Mens Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut.

Taken twice daily, it provides hypogonadal men with total testosterone concentrations in the mid-eugonadal range. Its safety profile is generally consistent with injectable and topical testosterone preparations, although the product labeling for oral testosterone undecanoate includes a black box warning about the potential for increased blood pressure. The data collected in the oral testosterone undecanoate studies underscore the need to check blood pressure at some point in men who are started on this therapy, especially those who are hypertensive at baseline.

The 2 trials comprised a 4-month study and a 12-month investigation. Eligibility criteria were similar in the 2 trials. Men ages 18 to 65 years (to 75 years in the 12-month study) were included if they had hypogonadism (serum testosterone <300 ng/dL on 2 morning samples approximately 7 days apart), had signs and symptoms consistent with hypogonadism, and were either naive to or underwent washout from testosterone therapy.

The 4-month study randomized 222 men 3:1 to oral testosterone undecanoate 237 mg twice daily or once-daily topical testosterone solution. A total of 325 men were randomized 1:1 to oral testosterone undecanoate 200 mg twice daily or topical testosterone gel in the 12-month trial. Dose adjustments were allowed based on serum testosterone levels.

The 4 treatment groups were similar with respect to demographics and clinical characteristics in terms of baseline age, body mass index, comorbidities (prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension), and mean baseline testosterone levels. Time-weighted average testosterone concentration increased to reach mid-eugonadal levels in all 4 treatment groups, with values ranging from 425 ng/dL to 524 ng/dL across all 4 study groups.

Data on psychosocial well-being were collected in both trials using the Psychosexual Daily Questionnaire. Results showed statistically significant improvements from baseline to study completion in mood, sexual desire, weekly sexual activity, and sexual energy with and without a partner with both the oral and topical treatments, Honig reported.

General well-being was evaluated in the 12-month study using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire. In the individual domains, statistically significant improvements were achieved in both the oral testosterone undecanoate and testosterone gel group and occurred in physical functioning, physical and emotional role limitation, social functioning, and bodily pain.

Changes in body composition parameters were also investigated in the 12-month study. The results for the oral testosterone undecanoate group showed spine bone mineral density, hip bone mineral density, lean body mass, and fat mass all improved significantly from baseline at 6 months with further improvements achieved at month 12.

Both the oral testosterone undecanoate and topical testosterone treatments were associated with minimal increases in serum prostate-specific antigen. Overall, the oral and topical treatments were associated with an increase of hematocrit in approximately 5% to 6% of patients.

Importantly, there were no clinical events associated with the hematocrit increases in the oral testosterone undecanoate or the testosterone gel group, nor did any patient discontinue treatment because of elevated hematocrit, Honig said.

Changes in blood pressure were followed using ambulatory monitoring. Among men treated with oral testosterone undecanoate, mean changes in 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure were approximately 5 mm Hg and 2.5 mm Hg, respectively. Comparisons between men with and without hypertension at baseline showed that the average change was slightly higher in the hypertensive group.

Honig said, It is unclear whether the blood pressure rise is just for oral testosterone undecanoate or a general class effect, as it has been seen with subcutaneous testosterone preparations as well. Most importantly, both oral testosterone undecanoate and topical gel groups showed no significant changes in liver enzyme measurements over a 12-month period.

Drivers of Healthy Gut Maintenance Uncovered – Technology Networks

Posted: June 17, 2020 at 9:45 am

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have found two genes that regulate the differentiation of stem cells in the small intestine, offering valuable insight into how the body develops and maintains a healthy gut.

Cells in the lining of the small intestine are replaced around every five days, the quickest rate for any organ in the body. This fast replacement helps the lining cope with the damage it suffers as a result of breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

This process, which is important for the healthy functioning of the small intestine, is supported by the stem cells in a part of the small intestine called the crypt.

In their study, published in Gastroenterology, the researchers found two genes, MTG8 and MTG16, which are highly expressed in cells that have just left the stem cell zone. These genes 'switch off' signals that keep these cells in a multipotent or 'immature' state, leading them to start to differentiate.

When the team analysed intestinal tissue and small intestine organoids grown from mice lacking these genes, they found there were many more stem cells, indicating that the process of differentiation was impeded.

Anna Baulies, lead author and postdoctoral training fellow in the Stem Cell and Cancer Biology lab at the Crick says: "These genes maintain the flow of cells which are needed for the healthy functioning of the small intestine, starting the stem cells on the road to become enterocyte cells which are needed to absorb nutrients."

Importantly, by working with human small intestine organoids, the researchers also found that while the stem cells are still in the crypt, these genes are repressed by a key developmental pathway, Notch signalling. This ensures the stem cells do not differentiate too early.

Vivian Li, senior author and group leader of the Stem Cell and Cancer Biology lab at the Crick says, "Understanding the role these genes play in healthy tissue will also help us to understand how the intestine regularly regenerates and also if these genes are a helpful or harmful force in the presence of disease."

"For example, loss of these genes may increase the number of stem cells and contribute to colorectal cancer progression. Further study on the underlying mechanism might be helpful to limit the number of stem cells in the cancer."

The signal that these genes repress, Wnt signalling, also keeps stem cells in a multipotent state in many other tissues, including the skin, stomach, liver and brain. These findings could therefore help other research into stem cell differentiation outside of the small intestine.

The researchers will continue this work, looking to understand more about the mechanism these two genes use to regulate stem cell differentiation and regeneration.

Magenta and Beam to Further Explore MGTA-117 – PharmaLive

Posted: June 17, 2020 at 9:45 am

Cambridge-based Magenta Therapeutics announced today that it has entered a non-exclusive research and clinical collaboration agreement with Beam Therapeutics. The goal is to evaluate the potential use of MGTA-117, Magentas novel targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC) for the conditioning of patients with sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia.

Conditioning is necessary to prepare a patients body to receive edited cells. Existing conditioning regimens rely on nonspecific chemotherapy or radiation. MGTA-117 precisely targets only hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, sparing immune cells. It has also shown high selectivity, potent efficacy, and wide safety margins.

Beam has demonstrated the ability to edit individual DNA bases in hematopoietic stem cells with little impact on the viability of edited cells, relative to unedited cells, using its novel base editing technology. MGTA-117 and Beams base editors could advance treatment in patients with sickle cell disease or beta-thalassemia.

We believe patients will benefit from a more precise process to remove hematopoietic stem cells and prepare them to receive genetic medicines, said Jason Gardner, D.Phil., president and chief executive officer, Magenta Therapeutics. Magenta has developed targeted ADCs as the preferred modality for our conditioning programs, and we have designed MGTA-117 specifically to optimize it for use with a genetically-modified cell product delivered in a transplant setting. Beams next-generation base editing technology complements our next-generation conditioning approach very well, and we are excited to combine these strengths to address the still-significant unmet medical needs of the sickle cell and beta-thalassemia patient communities.

This is not the only collaboration agreement Magenta has entered as of late. On June 11, the company announced that it had entered a clinical collaboration agreement with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)/Be The Match to evaluate the use of MGTA-145, a CXCR2 agonist.

MGTA-145 works in combination with plerixafor, a CXCR4 antagonist, to leverage the physiological mechanism of stem cell mobilization into peripheral blood. It has achieved all safety and activity endpoints to date.

Magenta is delighted to build upon its successful partnership with NMDP/Be The Match through this clinical collaboration, said John Davis Jr., M.D., M.P.H., M.S., Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer, Magenta. The NMDP/Be The Match team brings unparalleled experience in stem cell transplant, operating the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world, with a global network of 187 transplant centers. We are excited to collaborate with them to explore MGTA-145 in allogeneic transplant, which makes up nearly half of the transplants that take place each year in the U.S. and Europe. MGTA-145 mobilizes robust numbers of functional stem cells in a single day, allowing donors to potentially avoid multiple visits to infusion centers or hospitals, which has been a major concern for donors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The large number of functional cells may also result in faster recovery and improved outcomes for patients undergoing a life-saving allogeneic transplant.

Under the collaboration agreement, Magenta and NMDP/Be The Match will conduct a Phase 2 clinical trial of MGTA-145 to mobilize and collect hematopoietic stem cells from donors. These stem cells will then be given to patients with blood cancers who need a stem cell transplant. Magenta will retain all commercial rights to MGTA-145.

There is a significant need for new medicines for stem cell mobilization for patients and stem cell donors, and this need is only exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic as donors in particular prefer to avoid the hospital setting, said Steven Devine, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, NMDP/Be The Match. Clinical data generated with MGTA-145 to date suggest that its robust mobilization of functional stem cells in a single day could improve both the donor experience and patient outcomes. We are pleased to partner with Magenta to further transform the practice of stem cell transplant. We look forward to initiating this Phase 2 study.

Six tales from the trenches of running a startup – MIT Technology Review

Posted: June 17, 2020 at 9:45 am

Our company has built a platform to produce high-quality cells and tissues for regenerative medicine. That pursuit involves multiple disciplines, which means everyone here is an expert in a different language. Some of us are fluent in stem-cell biology, others in optical engineering, others in machine learning. When we started the company it wasnt possible to do biology and engineering under the same roof. When we finally moved into a shared space we were able to learn each others lexicons, and we became more strongly aligned. And now that were all working separately, the bonds created in that process have helped us deal with things. We cant discuss technical details at our desks anymore, but weve learned new ways of working together. Its important to stay in sync as a team, and in a covid-19 world thats never felt more true.

TIM O'CONNELL

Founded Blendoor, a job-search platform that hides candidates names and photos in the initial stages to reduce unconscious bias.

I started coding at 13, and that has gotten me pretty far in my career (Stanford, MIT, Microsoft). I once viewed humanities and social science education as nice-to-haves but not need-to-haves. It wasnt until I came face to face with the harsh realities of inequity and the paradox of meritocracy that I realized that artificial intelligence is far from solving many of our most challenging problems as a human race (for example, xenophobia, sexism, racism, homophobia, impostor syndrome, and unconscious bias).

The externalities that influence creativity, adoption, and scale are often more important than the innovation itself. To be a successful innovator one has to be really in tune with whats happening in the world on a global scale (or be really lucky, or better yet both). Venture capital has shortened the learning curve for some innovators, but bias has limited access to venture capital for many. Unconscious bias is like an odorless gasits imperceptible to most, but pervasive and deadly.

To optimize the innovation ecosystem, institutions must invest more in leveling the playing field. Today and for much of the documented past, innovation has been reserved for the children of middle- and upper-class parents. (Research the founders of companies valued at over $1 billion.) We laud the proverb Necessity is the mother of invention, but the people who grow up needing the most, independent of their intelligence, are often left out of the innovation game. As with all games, the best players emerge when the barriers to entry are low, the rules/standards are equally enforced, and there is high transparency across the board.

Audre Lorde once wrote: The masters tools will never dismantle the masters house.

I am a short, melanin-enriched, queer female on planet Earth. In some ways its easier to be innovative when youre invisible, but at some point, you need tools to scale: capital, team, mentorship. The one thing I know now that I wish I had known earlier is that my path toward getting the tools I need looks a lot different from the paths of others. Its not better nor worsesimply different. The hardest part is carving it out. Now that I know my path isnt blockedrather, it just didnt existIm way better equipped to win.

Founded DotLab, which makes diagnostic tests focused on womens health.

About a decade ago I worked at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, whose goal was to speed up the commercialization of technologies being developed in federally funded labs. While there I saw that some of the most important work done by the government involved things the media paid no attention tofor example, the way it could use investments in research and development to fuel private--sector innovation.

In 2009, the Obama administration released the Strategy for American Innovation. The idea behind it was to establish the critical nature of federal government support for R&D. In particular it stressed the spillover effects, or the idea that investments in such research end up being beneficial to people unrelated to the original investment. Or to put it another way, R&D investment is a public good. Analyses at the time suggested that in order to produce economic growth we should be doubling or quadrupling our R&D investments. Instead that spending has since been slashed, especially in basic research.

President Obama also launched a Lab to Market Initiative meant to speed the path to market for technologies stemming from government--funded research. There were also pilot programs designed to increase the use of government-funded R&D facilities by entrepreneurs, create incentives to commercialization, and improve, among other things, the impact of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

My own company, DotLab, ended up being a beneficiary. We develop novel molecular diagnostic tests for prevalent yet underserved diseases affecting womens health. Its notoriously difficult for this field of early--stage diagnostics to attract private investment, because of unclear regulatory pathways, low reimbursement rates, or resistance to change among physiciansor all of the above. Many promising diagnostic technologies never make it to patients because its so hard for these types of companies to get financing. A grant from the SBIR was critical to our early success. I cant be sure that wed be here today without it.

Founded Ubiquitous Energy, which makes transparent solar cells that can be put on windows or device screens.

I used to imagine innovators as individuals, as most people probably dothe genius inventor divining solutions in a lab or garage. But this picture that people have is not only wrong; it hinders our ability to innovate effectively.

Eight years ago I cofounded Ubiquitous Energy, a company based on an innovation Id helped to launch from an MIT laba transparent solar cell that promised new ways of deploying solar technology, like windows that generate energy or consumer devices powered by their own displays. I learned that in the messy, scrappy world of tech startups, the key to innovation is to make it a team sport.

Taking any innovation from the lab to commercial reality requires engaging with all sorts of people. You need to work with engineering, R&D, business development, and sales teams, as well as investors, advisors, and customers. By thoughtfully designing teams and carefully tending to the connections among them, you ensure that innovation doesnt happen in a vacuum. If you isolate the engineering team you risk creating an innovative technology that doesnt have a customer. If you listen only to the customer you might conceive of a product that cant practically be made. Neglect investors and you can find yourself with a business plan that nobody wants to fund.

Working among people with competing priorities takes more effort. It means encouraging communication so theyre aware of each others needs as they generate new ideas. You have to find a way to invite these ideas in, make it okay for people to disagree respectfully, and encourage the flow of ideas among the various groups. You need each person to focus on his or her task, but not so much that it creates boundaries and kills any sense of creativity in the group.

Ive found that viewing innovation as a team sport instills a creative culture that makes an organization better. The innovations that result are far greater than anything that might have come from any one person operating independently.

CHRIS SCIACCA / IBM RESEARCH

Founded Somalias first incubator and start-up accelerator; now at IBM Research.

People tend to think innovation can be neatly placed into two categories: incremental or disruptive. They also assume that the only category that really matters is the disruptive kind, where you dramatically transform markets or introduce a novel product. And yes, disruptive innovations in CRISPR, quantum computing, or batteries are undoubtedly worth the headlines.

But Ive learned that there is immense value in incremental innovation. When you improve an existing product to cut costs, or when you make that product more efficient or user friendly, thats what pays the bills. And in fact those little innovations can give you the needed tailwind to go after the disruptive ideas, which can take years to incubate and bring to fruition. Never underestimate the importance of incremental improvements.

TIM O'CONNELL

Cofounded Imprint Energy, which is developing thin, flexible, and safe print- able batteries.

As a CEO of a startup, you get used to hearing no. You also face an endless succession of what feel like earth--shattering crises, like nearly running out of cash, losing a key customer, discovering a widespread product failureor having to shut down operations because of a global pandemic. But it turns out that these disasters can actually be good for you. In fact, Im not sure you can innovate without them. Heres what all our crises have taught me.

Its good to be uncomfortable. We once had a key customer request a battery capability that wed never deployed before. The customer made it clear that if we couldnt develop this capability theyd be less confident in our product. We wrestled with the risks, not least of which was the potential embarrassment if we couldnt meet the customers needs. We knew wed face many technical problems with no obvious solutions if we tried to pull it off. Yet we decided to try to satisfy the customer, even if it wasnt obvious at first how we could get it done. A few weeks later we delivered something beyond what the customer had asked for, and weve since grown this capability into a powerful sales tool and potential revenue streamnot to mention it strengthened our relationship with the customer.

Short-term failure is good. A few years ago our company began to scale up our manufacturing output in response to a customers need. In the process we discovered aberrations we hadnt seen during smaller-scale production. Our team dived into failure analysis, and we finally attributed the problem to a single material within the battery. Wed used this material for years, but now we needed a replacement. Once we deployed that change, the battery quality, reliability, and manufacturability drastically improved.

Its okay to be vulnerable. One of my hardest days as Imprints CEO was the day I found out I was pregnant. We were in the middle of raising a funding round, we had begun scaling our manufacturing output, and I had been traveling nonstop for a year. Until that day, I had assumed that my role as CEO was to exude strength and confidence. With the mounting pressure I was harder on myself than I needed to be, and now I had the added stress of being pregnant. I decided to acknowledge to my team that I was overwhelmed. They rallied together and found ways to operate more efficiently and communicate more effectively, supporting me to focus my time and leverage on our most pressing goals. This gave me not only the space to plan for the companys future, but also the resiliency to prepare for my own new normal: leading while becoming a first-time mother.
