Lisa Ricciardi, CEO, and Dr. Tony Caggiano, Chief Medical Officer at Cognition Therapeutics, are developing effective treatments for neurological disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). While DLB is related to Parkinson's, sharing symptoms include hallucinations, sleep disorders, and cognitive dysfunction, there are no good diagnostics to identify DLB and effective treatments. Cognition Therapeutics' lead drug candidate, an oral treatment, has shown promise in protecting neurons from the toxic effects of the pathological proteins involved in Alzheimer's and DLB. Lisa explains, "This company started in 2007, so we've had a long number of years to burnish our mission. One of the things we say is we're the beginning of the end of neurologic disorders and the start of hope for an improved future for patients. So Alzheimer's disease, in particular, has been long studied with little success, and in the last few years, we've seen some successes with monoclonal antibodies. There are a number of other approaches in clinical trials, but we have recently generated very positive data in two different trials with an oral once-a-day drug." Tony elaborates, "Lewy body dementia or dementia with Lewy bodies is a disease very much related to Parkinson's disease that's believed to be, in part, caused by pathological levels of a certain protein called alpha synuclein and particularly small oligomers of misfolded alpha synuclein." "And in Alzheimer's disease, this is largely a cognitive memory disorder as it presents. So, those two diseases are very different. Now, the idea of treating them with a single drug is somewhat unique to what we have here at Cognition Therapeutics. So our company started around the idea of developing therapies for Alzheimer's disease, and our lead molecule CT1812 or zervimesine was developed out of a screening assay where we were looking for molecules that could protect neurons or brain cells from the toxicities of this pathological amyloid protein. So, we identified CT1812 and have been developing it."  #CognitionTherapeutics #BrainHealth #DementiaCare #LewyStrong #Livingwithlewy #Alzheimers #EndAlz #Alzheimersdisease #DLBAwareness #NeurodegenerativeDisease #Dementia #DementiaWithLewyBodies  cogrx.com Download the transcript here

S5 - E5.1 - Why We Are Focusing On NITs For MASH Diagnosis And Screening

This conversation explores why proper use of non-invasive tests (NITs) will play a pivotal role in increasing the number of patients diagnosed and treated for MASH. It becomes particularly pivotal if, as expected, the first MASH drug is approved later this month. Roger Green starts this conversation by describing why he considers NIT use and adoption one of the two pivotal patient treatment issues for 2024. Jörn Schattenberg notes that he has not received any referrals from PCPs or endocrinology based on elevated FIB-4, which would happen if enough front-line treaters were adopting the new clinical care pathways. Educational efforts have begun, but do not seem to be changing behavior yet. As Jörn puts it, "We're still preaching, and I haven't seen it in much activity."Naim Alkhouri states that his experience is the same as Jörn's. He reminds us that we covered some of these issues in a 2023 end-of-year conversation (S4 E50.3). He reiterates his concern with FIB-4 as a standalone first-line test and states his preference for combining it with an in-office scan. He comments that at the recent Desert Liver Conference, four companies displayed these devices, each with a different price point and convenience factor. Ian Rowe describes the British experience as being different: "every patient with elevated ALT in the context of metabolic risk factors has a FIB-4 and now has a FibroScan." His biggest concern is that tests are insufficiently precise. If we have top-end and bottom-end cutoffs, he fears, "you're going to end up excluding a lot of patients who would be potentially eligible for treatment."

C., Yang, A., Mazzaferro, S., Mali, I., Cahn, O., Kentistou, K., Rowley, C., Stewart, N., Seah, J. W. E., Pisupati, V., Kirwan, P., Aggarwal, S., Toyohara, T., Florido, M. H. C., Cowan, C. A., Quambusch, L., Hyvonen, M., Livesey, M. R., Perry, J. R. B., Marioni, J. C., Merkle, F. T. Abstract: Obesity substantially increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases, making it a leading preventable cause of death in developed countries. It has a strong genetic basis, with obesity-associated genetic variants preferentially acting in the brain. This includes the hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons that inhibit food intake and are stimulated by drugs that agonise glucagon-like 1 peptide receptor (GLP1R) including Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy). We therefore hypothesised that drugs which selectively activate human POMC neurons would suppress appetite and promote weight loss, and that focusing on drugs already approved for use would facilitate rapid clinical translation. We therefore generated POMC neurons from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and identified enriched genes that were genetically associated with obesity and targeted by approved drugs. We found that human POMC neurons are enriched in GLP1R, reliably activated by Semaglutide, and their responses are further increased by co-administration of Ceritinib, an FDA-approved drug potently and selectively inhibiting anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Ceritinib reduced food intake and body weight in obese but not lean mice, and upregulated the expression of GLP1R in the mouse hypothalamus and hPSC-derived human hypothalamic neurons. These studies reveal a new potential therapeutic strategy for reducing food intake and body weight, and demonstrate the utility of hPSC-derived hypothalamic neurons for drug discovery.

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare hereditary cancer syndrome caused by mutations in the VHL gene. These mutations predispose patients to the development of cysts and tumors in several systems and organs, including the central nervous system, retina, kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands and reproductive organs. VHL is a complex disease that requires specialized advanced treatment from a multidisciplinary team of specialists.In this Better Edge podcast episode, the following experts from the Northwestern Medicine Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Program discuss VHL and the clinical management for this patient population: Rimas V. Lukas, MD, Associate Professor of Neuro-Oncology; Niraj K. Shenoy, MD, PhD, MS, Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology and of Pathology; and Brittany M. Szymaniak, PhD, CGC, Instructor of Urology. They share a recent Northwestern Medicine study published in Neuro-Oncology that examined belzutifan, the first approved HIF-2α inhibitor, in VHL-associated tumors.

Atropine is what we call an anticholinergic drug, which means that it blocks acetylcholine. And when you block acetylcholine, it can cause temporary paralysis in the focusing system of the eye and it also dilates the pupil. So this particular technique is used by some eye doctors in low doses, to see if you can slow down school-aged myopia. My feeling is that Atropine therapy is really another symptomatic approach. It's not really getting to the cause of what myopia really is. So let's talk about the cause of myopia. And then I can offer some protocols that maybe go a little deeper than just treating the symptom. Enjoy the show.

Can a chemical found in citrus fruit curb cancer and save lives through early detection? Today on the show, we'll talk about the possibilities with Dr. David Suhy, Cofounder and Chief Medical Officer of Earli. Earli was founded with the mission to make cancer a benign experience by catching and curing it early. According the the American Cancer Society, 40% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetime. And a third will die from it. What if there was a way to detect and confirm the presence of cancer by inducing synthetic biomarkers? You could catch cancer when it's most treatable and save countless lives. Learn more about this exciting technology and get inspired by David's insights. About David SuhyDr. David Suhy is the Chief Scientific Officer and Cofounder of Earli. He is a gene therapy expert, experienced in bio ventures both private and public. He has led gene therapy ideas from inception through Phase 2 clinical trials, and is recognized as a leader that science teams love to work with.Before Earli, he was the CSO at Benitec Biopharma where he oversaw development paths for products in or near term clinical studies, including Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), and Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy (OPMD). He developed the first non-withdrawable, systemic RNAi compound used clinically in human subjects. He previously held scientific leadership roles at Tacere Therapeutics, Takara Bio, Anatara and PPD.  He earned his PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology  from Northwestern University and completed his post doctoral training at Stanford University.He's a father to three teenagers, and he loves making pizza in his large wood-fired oven in his backyard. David is married to a neuroscientist, Dr. Joyce Suhy, who knows the risks of science, and is convinced that with David's passion, Earli will accomplish its purpose.About EarliEarli was founded in June of 2018 by Dr. Sam Gambhir, Cyriac Roeding and Dr. David Suhy.

Show Notes for Episode Fifteen of seX & whY: Sex Differences in Immunology and Drug Therapy Host: Jeannette Wolfe Guests: Evelyne Bischof MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences and internist at University Hospital of Basel Switzerland Sabra Klein, PhD, Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health This podcast focused on sex differences in immunology and pharmacology and its relevance to the Covid-19 pandemic. Key points Males are more likely to be admitted to the ICU and die from COVID-19 compared to females Males and females have differences in both innate and adaptive immunity (which likely are a combo of chromosomal, hormonal and epigentic differences) One difference in Innate immunity (the initial non-specific reaction to a foreign pathogen) is Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) This is a major player in the initial physiological response to a foreign pathogen and the gene for it is on the X chromosome. X-lined genes (like Ace-2 which is the receptor which SARS-Cov-2 initially binds to in the body) are interesting because they immediately bring up two considerations.  First, if someone has a specific variant of that gene, it could change their susceptibility to certain pathogens. Males, as they have an XY pair of sex chromosomes, only have one X chromosome and thus could be more adversely impacted than females (XX) who have a second copy of the gene (which may or may not express the same variant)  from their other X chromosome. The second consideration is that in the cells of most females, one of the X chromosomes is automatically turned off (X inactivation). It appears however, that some X-linked immune cells- like TLR7- don't do this, leading to the possibility of increased expression of the gene like getting an “extra dose”. In adaptive immunity (which involved B and T cells), females generally have a greater immunological response to most pathogens. As such, females generally exhibit a more robust immune response to natural infections and vaccinations. The flip side, however, is compared to men, women are also at greater risk for autoimmune diseases and are more likely to get local and systemic reactions after a vaccination. When testing the effectiveness and side effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines it would be ideal to consider the variables of biological sex and age. In an influenza study, when women were given a ½ dose of the flu vaccine, they mounted a similar immune response to males who got full dose. If the same held true for developing SARS-Cov2 vaccinations, it could potentially increase the amount of vaccine available (though it is unclear if this is even being considered in early vaccine trials). Aging can also impair the immune response and older adults may require higher doses of booster doses of some vaccines to optimize their immune response The use of Artificial Intelligence in drug development may revolutionize the pharmaceutical research industry by allowing more predictive drug modeling leading to more successful drug development. This could also be used to better identify potentially important biological sex- based pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic differences earlier in drug development. Two unexpected findings associated with COVID-19 Males appear to be more vulnerable to cytokine storm (mechanism still not entirely clear may be differences in ACE-2 receptors, or chromosomal/hormonal differences in innate/adaptive immune system) Elderly sick males who survived COVID-19 appear to have significant protective antibody production against SARS-Cov2 References: Bischof E, Wolfe J, Klein S: Clinical trials for Covid-19 should include Sex as a Variable.
