Dr. Derrick Rossi Named Interim CEO

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) today announced the death of its Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Susan L. Solomon, on September 8th, shortly after she had stepped down as CEO, after a long battle with ovarian cancer. Dr. Derrick Rossi, a member of the NYSCF Board of Directors and co-founder of Moderna Therapeutics, has been named Interim CEO of NYSCF.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation today announced the death of its CEO and Co-Founder, Susan L. Solomon

NYSCF is a New York-based non-profit organization that supports stem cell scientists around the world and operates the NYSCF Research Institute, the largest independent stem cell laboratory in the United States. As CEO, Ms. Solomon raised over $400M for stem cell research, helping to catalyze the field and transform the future of medical research.

"This is the end of an incredible era for NYSCF," said Dr. Roy Geronemus, Chairman of the NYSCF Board of Directors. "Susan founded this organization in 2005, and guided it for over 17 years. She imagined the impossible and made it happen. I speak on behalf of the entire Board when I say that we will forever be grateful for all she did for NYSCF and for the field of stem cell research to advance better treatments and cures for patients everywhere. We are confident that Dr. Rossi as Interim CEO, and the rest of the NYSCF team, will continue the trajectory that Susan led us on to move NYSCF's mission forward.The Board has begun a search for a permanent CEO."

A lawyer by training and a longtime entrepreneur and business executive, Ms. Solomon began her role as a health-care advocate in 1992 when one of her sons was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After conversations with clinicians and scientists, she identified stem cells as the most promising way to address unmet patient needs and felt an independent organization was needed to help translate cutting-edge stem cell research into clinical breakthroughs and cures for patients. She co-founded NYSCF in 2005. Since then, advances from NYSCF research have twice been named Time magazine's #1 scientific breakthrough of the year, and NYSCF-supported research has led to over 20 major clinical breakthroughs that are already or very soon bringing clinical treatments for devastating diseases. During her time as CEO, Ms. Solomon served on many Boards, including the College Diabetes Network and the Regional Plan Association, and received numerous awards, including the New York State Women of Excellence Award from the Governor of New York, the Triumph Award from the Brooke Ellison Foundation, and recognition as a Living Landmark from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

During a meeting earlier in the week with NYSCF staff to announce the CEO transition, Ms. Solomon relayed the following message:

"Building NYSCF has been the privilege of a lifetime and I am incredibly proud of the contributions we have made to the field of stem cell research and developing new and more effective treatments and cures to improving the lives of patients. I am confident that our outstanding and dedicated leadership and staff will continue to move our programs forward under Derrick's leadership and that of our longtime COO/CFO Jeff Wallerstein while the Board conducts a search for my successor."

"It has been a great privilege to serve on the NYSCF Board of Directors and I am honored to now serve as Interim CEO," said Dr. Rossi. "Since I first met Susan in 2010 and became a member of the NYSCF community, I have been in awe. Susan was a force of nature, a fierce and effective advocate for science and patients, and a true visionary. She was also a dear friend. Without question, Susan's and NYSCF's impact on science has been enormous and, quite frankly, unmatched.Though I wish that Susan could have continued her incredible and effective leadership of NYSCF for the next hundred years, I am nonetheless honored and ready to lead NYSCF over the coming months as we search for a permanent leader."

Dr. Rossi, a biotechnology entrepreneur and stem cell scientist, is the co-founder of Moderna Therapeutics, and co-founder of Intellia Therapeutics, Magenta Therapeutics, and Stelexis Therapeutics. Until his retirement from academia, he was an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard University, and an investigator at Boston Children's Hospital where he led an academic team working on stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. In 2010, Derrick was named a NYSCF Robertson Stem Cell Investigator and he joined the Board of Directors in 2020. His efforts in the development of cutting-edge technologies and new therapeutic strategies are at the forefront of regenerative medicine and biotechnology. Time magazine named Dr. Rossi as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world (Time 100) in 2011. Dr. Rossi earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. from University of Toronto, and his PhD from the University of Helsinki.

Prior to founding NYSCF, Ms. Solomon had a diverse career spanning many decades. After graduating from New York University, she received her JD from Rutgers University School of Law while raising her eldest son as a single mother and serving as an editor of the Law Review. She began her career as an attorney at Debevoise & Plimpton. The work she was most passionate about was her pro bono work, including the representation of a woman suing the NYC Fire Department for sexual discrimination based on the firefighting qualification testing that was biased toward male applicants.

She later continued her law career as counsel for Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Corporation, a joint venture in the then-new industry of cable television to develop television networks, including MTV, Nickelodeon, and Showtime.

After jobs at United Satellite Entertainment and CBS Productions, a film arm of CBS, Ms. Solomon joined MacAndrews & Forbes to help in the area of media acquisitions, and later APAX, formerly MMG Patricof and Company, another financial firm.

Ms. Solomon subsequently joined Sony Corporation to establish and serve as President of a new radio network, Sony Worldwide Networks, which was the first to do internet radio broadcasting. She then moved on to her last media job as the founding CEO of Sothebys.com, where she helped to develop the first online auction platform.

Prior to founding NYSCF in 2005, she started her own strategic management consulting firm, Solomon Partners LLC, through which she worked with a range of non-profit and media companies.

Ms. Solomon is survived by her husband Paul Goldberger and three sons and daughters-in-law, Adam and Delphine Hirsh, Ben Goldberger and Melissa Rothberg, and Alex Goldberger and Carolyna De Laurentiis, and six grandchildren Thibeaux and Josephine Hirsh, Julian and Gabriel Goldberger, and Arlo and Celeste Goldberger.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation Mourns the Loss of CEO Susan L. Solomon

With two recently approved chimeric antigen receptor T therapies targeting B-cell maturation antigen, this novel platform has altered the treatment paradigm for heavily-pretreated patients with multiple myeloma.

Ever since high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) became standard-of-care for multiple myeloma (MM), many have sought a replacement. Part of the reason is the historical toxicity of ASCT; however, advances in supportive measures have significantly improved transplant-related morbidity and mortality, thereby allowing it to expand to wider populations and to be performed in the ambulatory setting.1-3 Perhaps, in part, the desire to find an alternative to ASCT stems from the perceived lack of refinement of the continued use of myeloablative chemotherapy for a disease in which clinicians have many highly effective novel agents and cellular/immunotherapies.

Nowhere is this circumstance more apparent than at the imminent collision of ASCT with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. With two recently approved CAR T therapies targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), this novel platform has altered the treatment paradigm for heavily-pretreated patients with MM. The logical progression is to investigate if CAR T-cell therapy can challenge and supplant ASCT (with or without maintenance therapy) as a principal component of frontline MM therapy.

At the 10th Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2022), Amrita Krishnan, MD, Director of the Judy and Bernard Briskin Center for Multiple Myeloma Research, professor, Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, and chief, Division of Multiple Myeloma, Department of Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, City of Hope Cancer Center will debate this topic with Saad Z. Usmani, MD, MBA, FACP, chief, myeloma service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York.

Krishnan is in favor of ASCT followed by maintenance therapy, but Usmani believes that CAR T-cell therapy will replace it. The hurdles that CAR T-cell therapy must overcome to replace ASCT are substantial, not only because of the proven efficacy of ASCT compared with other therapies but also because of ASCTs toxicity profile, the known effectiveness of subsequent therapies, and the favorable financial burden in comparison with CAR T-cell therapy. The debate will be September 29, 2022, at 1:58 pm during the meetings Multiple Myeloma session.

Evidence Supports Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation as the Current Standard for Frontline Consolidation

In the era predating novel MM therapies, the MRC Myeloma VII trial (NCT00002599) and an Intergroupe Francophone du Mylome (IFM; IFM2009) trial demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit of ASCT-based frontline therapy compared with prolonged nonmyeloablative conventional chemotherapy.4,5 The subsequent introduction of highly effective novel therapies led to similar studies comparing transplant and nontransplant frontline strategies (Table 16,7,8). The IFM 2009 study examined lenalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (RVD) induction followed by ASCT vs RVD for 8 cycles without ASCT, with both arms receiving 1 year of lenalidomide maintenance.6,7 Although the primary end point of progression-free survival (PFS) was superior in the transplant arm, OS has remained statistically comparable. It results in part from the increased utilization of ASCT at first relapse among the nontransplant cohort (76.7%), but also the expansion of novel and immunotherapies available as salvage options. This study established that ASCT could be performed in the front line or at first relapse without sacrifice.

More recently, the phase 3 DETERMINATION study (NCT01208662) compared similar cohorts with those of IFM2009, with both arms receiving maintenance lenalidomide until progression or intolerance.8 Overall, the findings were similar to IFM2009 with superior PFS and comparable OS between cohorts. Notably, however, among patients with high-risk cytogenetics, ASCT yielded a particularly superior median PFS (55.5 months vs 17.1 months) and 5-year OS (63.4% vs 54.3%). To date, only a minority of patients at first relapse have received a subsequent ASCT (28%), although this proportion is expected to increase with longer follow-up.

Current State of CAR T as a Standard Therapy for Advanced Myeloma

CAR T therapy has revolutionized the treatment of advanced, relapsed/refractory MM, with the addition of 2 approved agents, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel; Abecma) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; Carvykti); others are in clinical development.9 Ide-cel, in the pivotal phase II KarMMa trial (NCT03361748), yielded a median PFS of 8.6 months in a heavily pretreated patient population.10,11 At a median follow-up of 28 months in a similarly refractory cohort from CARTITUDE-1 (NCT03548207), the median PFS of cilta-cel had not yet been reached at the last analysis, with a 2-year PFS of 60.5% (Table 2).12,13 Responses with these cellular therapies are deep, especially with cilta-cel, for which recent highlights reported 55% sustained minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity (10-5) for 12 months or more, correlating with a 79% 2-year PFS.

Although ide-cel and cilta-cel are now established as a standard therapy option for eligible patients with triple-class refractory MM, data on earlier use are immature. CARTITUDE 2 (NCT04133636), a multiarm exploratory phase 2 trial, has reported early results from deploying cilta-cel in patients with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy (cohort A) and patients with early relapse after 1 line of therapy (cohort B), both with complete response (CR) rates exceeding 80% and 6-month PFS rates exceeding 90%.14,15 However, the most provocative arm is exploring substitution of cilta-cel for ASCT as consolidation (Cohort E), which has yet to report findings. KarMMa-4 is similarly examining ide-cel for frontline consolidation in high-risk populations in lieu of ASCT.16 Although results of these studies will yield some insight into the feasibility of CAR T replacing ASCT, they are not powered to answer that question. The upcoming international phase III CARTITUDE-6/EMN trial (NCT05257083), however, will directly compare ASCT with cilta-cel, both following daratumumab plus RVD induction, in a study powered to assess coprimary end points of PFS and sustained MRD-negative CR (10-5 for 12 months).

The Imminent Collision between CAR T-cell Therapy and ASCT

CARTITUDE-6, and others pitting CAR T-cell therapy against ASCT as consolidation, will be required to answer questions beyond comparative efficacy. Whereas the cellular component of ASCT is solely for hematopoietic rescue, to date, the impact of intensive induction therapy on CAR T-cell therapy production, expansion, and function remains unclear, both from the standpoint of potential T-cell impairment and reduced in vivo antigenic stimulation.17

The toxicity profile of consolidative ASCT is well established and generally confined to the acute setting. Among 15,999 patients reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research who received high-dose melphalan with ASCT between 2013 and 2017, 100-day nonrelapse mortality was 0% in those younger than 70 years and 1% among those 70 years or older.1 Among published studies, BCMA CAR T therapy has led to acute, life-threatening toxicities as well as delayed or prolonged adverse events such as cognitive and motor neurotoxicity, second primary malignancies, and delayed hematopoietic recovery.10,12 Although mitigation efforts have reduced immune-related toxicities, and fewer prior therapies will theoretically result in more resilient immune and hematopoietic systems, this residual robustness of the autologous CAR T-cell therapy cells could potentially raise the risk of immune-related toxicity in a relatively treatment-nave population.

Although ASCT with maintenance has long been the standard, substantial evidence exists demonstrating the efficacy of subsequent therapies after relapse.6 Frontline CAR T studies must also demonstrate that early use of CAR T-cell therapy does not impair therapies deployed after relapse, including stem cell collection and ASCT; therefore, PFS2 (time to second objective disease progression) and OS are imperative secondary end points.

High-dose melphalan with ASCT does have a transient negative impact on quality of life (QOL) metrics.18 Pivotal BCMA CAR T-cell therapy studies reported improvements in QOL, although many patients had advanced, symptomatic disease and the studies lacked control groups.19 Whether CAR T-cell therapy can meaningfully improve QOL among patients with controlled disease relative to standard of care remains to be seen.

Beyond PFS, all of the abovementioned end points (toxicity, QOL, OS, PFS2) are needed to gauge the relative efficacy and cost-effectiveness of these 2 modalities.20 With an established median PFS exceeding 5 years, a survival benefit among those with high-risk cytogenetics, manageable and predictable toxicity, and total treatment cost representing a fraction of that of CAR T-cell therapy, ASCT with maintenance is unlikely to be overtaken as frontline consolidation. Unless CAR T can effectively cure a substantial proportion of patients with MM, it would best serve patients as a complement to ASCT after relapse or potentially for those with suboptimal response to ASCT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A recently published article in Experimental Biology and Medicine(Volume 247, Issue 15, August, 2022) challenges that mouse embryonic stem cells are dependent on threonine. The study, led by Dr. Jian Feng in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the State University of New York, Buffalo, finds that mouse embryonic stem cells do not have a unique requirement for threonine.

Threonine is an amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins. An influential study published in 2009 claims that the growth and proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) have a unique dependence on threonine. The study has generated significant interest and many subsequent papers are published based on this claim. It has become accepted that mESCs have a special requirement for threonine to grow and multiply.

In this study, Drs. Feng and Boyang Zhang replicate the experiments in the previous study and use the serum-free, 2i/LIF medium to test if mESCs have a dependence on threonine. In the individual absence of methionine or valine, the growth and proliferation of mESCs in serum are as severely affected as in the absence of threonine. Removing even a non-essential amino acid such as arginine or glutamine significantly attenuates the growth and proliferation of mESCs. The present study thus set the record straight on the amino acid requirement of mESCs by finding that, just like most types of cells, mESCs do not have a special requirement for threonine. The study will move the field forward to a more comprehensive understanding of cellular metabolism in mESCs, which serve as the bedrock of stem cell biology because they can generate all types of cells in a mouse.

Drs. Feng and Zhang said: "We were very excited by the previous paper claiming the unique requirement of threonine in mESCs and wanted to understand why. To our surprise, our experiments show that there is nothing unique about threonine; mESCs cannot grow in the individual absence of many other amino acids. We thank Experimental Biology and Medicine for letting us set the record straight."

Dr. Steven R. Goodman, Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Biology and Medicine, said, "Zhang and Feng have tested the dogma that mesenchymal stem cells (mESCs) have a unique requirement for threonine when cultured in medium containing serum and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Their study clearly demonstrates that the growth and proliferation of mESCs in serum/LIF or in a serum-free medium (2i/LIF) requires many essential and non-essential amino acids. This study provides clarity for those working in the stem cell field on the amino acid requirements of mESCs."

New Study Finds Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Have No Special

GOOD Morning America's Robin Roberts has sparked concern after being absent from the popular show yet again.

The 61-year-old was replaced by Cecilia Vega on Friday morning after an emotional day on set.

Robin hosted GMA from Monday to Wednesday this week, but was absent at the end of the week.

On Thursday's show, she was replaced by Amy Robach, as she and George Stephanopoulos were both missing.

Cecilia, who has been manning the desk quite a bit recently, took her spot on Friday's show.

Meanwhile, George did return for Friday's show.

Michael Strahan took his normal seat behind the desk as well.

The morning show has been slammed numerous times in the past for its revolving door of hosts.

Robin and George were in the studio on Wednesday to celebrateRobin's anniversary of her transplant.

They were joined by Michael and Lara Spencer.

Her sister gave her the "precious gift" of stem cells and Robin wanted to spread the word of signing up to become a donor in every way possible.

GMAshowed a segment on a man named Chris who is suffering from Leukemia and created the Lemons for Leukemia Challenge, in order to get people to sign up to become a donor.

When his inspiring story ended, Robin said that she was "grateful" to Chris for turning his illness into a way to help others.

She then went on to talk to her co-hosts about how rare it is to find a match.

"Oh my Gosh. I cannot get over the innovations in the last 10 years when it comes to bone marrow transplant," she said.

George told her that he couldn't believe it has been a decade since her transplant.

"Every day is special," the Robin said while attempting to hold back tears.

"I want to be a symbol of 'this too shall pass,'" Robin ended her statement.

No reason was given for Robin's sudden absence, but this isn't the first time she has been away.

The anchor recently skipped her appearance on The Sherri Shepherd show and then missed GMA again.

Robin was set to be interview on the new talk show on September 15, but pulled out at the last minute.

A promo for her appearance aired just moments before the actual broadcast began.

However, when Sherri started announcing live the guests on her show, Robin was missing from that list.

Instead, only model Winnie Harlow and designer Sergio Hudson were mentioned.

Wasnt Robin Roberts supposed to be on todays show? one concerned viewer tweeted at the time.

Another speculated that she had to cancel her appearance because shes actually in London to cover the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial.

But that wasnt the case, as Robin reported live on GMA from New York City on Thursday, while she spoke with other colleagues reporting from London.

Researchers in Germany have discovered that age-dependent impairments in antiviral interferon proteins underlie the increased susceptibility of older patients to severe COVID-19. The study, published today in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), shows that aged mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 are protected from severe disease by treatment with one of these interferons, IFN-.

The immune systems response to SARS-CoV-2 is coordinated by a group of antiviral signaling proteins called interferons, which help to stop the virus replicating and activate various immune cells that can clear the virus from the body. There are three different types of interferon protein, known as types I, II, and III, and researchers have estimated that up to 20% of SARS-CoV-2related deaths may be attributed to defects in type I interferon signaling (due to the presence of genetic mutations or autoantibodies that block type I interferons from functioning properly).

However, whether age-dependent changes in the activity of interferons explain why older patients are more susceptible to developing severe COVID-19 has remained unclear.

To investigate this question, a team of researchers led by Dr. Daniel Schnepf and Professor Martin Schwemmle at the Institute of Virology, Medical Center University of Freiburg, developed a novel strain of SARS-CoV-2 that, unlike clinical strains of the virus, can infect regular laboratory mice and cause severe disease. The strain, which carries several key mutations also found in omicron strains, was particularly virulent in aged mice, showing enhanced replication and causing increased death in older animals compared with younger ones.

We found that adult animals mounted a rapid and well-orchestrated innate and adaptive immune response to viral infection, whereas aged animals showed a reduced, delayed, and more pro-inflammatory response, explains Schnepf.

Schnepf and colleagues determined that type I interferon signaling was impaired in aged mice. Notably, however, the researchers also discovered that levels of the type II interferon IFN- were reduced in older animals infected with SARS-CoV-2. Treating these aged mice with IFN- protected them from severe illness and death in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In contrast, blocking type II interferon signaling in younger mice made them more susceptible to severe disease.

Collectively, our data suggest that impaired type I IFN signaling in combination with impaired IFN-mediated immune responses can account for the observed high SARS-CoV-2 disease susceptibility of aged mice, and possibly older humans, too, Schnepf says.

Finally, the researchers examined mice that are extremely susceptible to severe COVID-19, namely aged mice that are also genetically deficient in type I interferon signaling. Schnepf and colleagues found that, because type III interferons can partially substitute for the absence of type I interferon signaling, combined treatment with IFN- and the type III interferon IFN- was able to protect these high risk animals from severe illness and death.

By generating and employing a mouse model for severe COVID-19, we have identified the age-dependent impairment of type I and type II interferon responses as a critical pathomechanism that drives the virulence of SARS-CoV-2 in aged hosts, says Professor Schwemmle. We were able to successfully translate this novel insight into an immunomodulatory treatment strategy that prevented SARS-CoV-2induced lethality in a highly susceptible disease model that mimics impaired type I interferon immunity and advanced age.

Funding rounds this week will help Arsenal and ILiAD move forward with their lead programs, while a philanthropic donation will allow UC San Diego to advance its space-based stem cell research.

UC San Diegos Largest Single Gift Earmarked for Stem Cell, Regenerative Medicine Research

After receiving a $150 million donation from businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sandford, theUniversity of California, San Diego,announcedTuesday that it would use these funds to boost its stem cell and regenerative medicine research.

The stem cell studies, in particular, will be conducted aboard the International Space Station, allowing researchers to better understand the impacts of aging on stem cells and how this may prompt cells to become cancerous. Space-related research could yield better therapies not just for cancers but for diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons, as well.

Sanford also donated $100 million in 2013, allowing UCSD to establish the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center. His donations also enabled UCSD to create the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion in 2019.

Arsenals Programmable Cell Therapies Win $220M in Series B

Arsenal Biosciencesclosedits Series B round of financing Tuesday and reported earnings of $220 million. The privately held company will use these proceeds to bolster research into its programmable cell therapies and deepen its pipeline of solid tumor candidates across a wide range of cancers. Arsenal gained new investors during the oversubscribed funding round, including Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Hitachi Ventures and Emerson Collective Investments.

Alongside its Series B round, the California-based company is preparing to initiate clinical studies for AB-1015, its lead candidate for ovarian cancer. Arsenal aims to clear an Investigational New Drug application and dose the first AB-1015 patient later this year.

Arsenal also welcomes Valentin (Vali) Barsan, M.D., attending pediatric oncologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine and an investor for SoftBank Investment Advisers, into its board of directors.

Class D Funding Pumps $42M into ILiADs Pertussis Shot

The company announced Tuesday that its recent Class D round of financingearnediLiAD Biotechnologies$42.8 million in proceeds. Family office hedge fund Knott Partners led the Class D round.

The New York biotech is channeling almost all of these funds into BPZE1, its next-generation pertussis vaccine candidate, establishing and improving the manufacturing process for BPZE1, as well as supporting its research and development.

In particular, the earnings will allow LiAD to proceed with a Phase IIb human challenge study to assess if BPZE1 can prevent the nasopharyngeal colonization ofBordetella pertussis.

To date, more than $100 million have already gone into the research and development of BPZE1. The candidate has cleared four human clinical studies and has been granted the FDAs Fast Track designation.

ILiAD also plans on using its earnings to power its current operations.
