Imugene Ltd (ASX:IMU, OTC:IUGNF) managing director and CEO Leslie Chong joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to provide a company update, including launching the first Australian site for the Phase 1b clinical trial of its azer-cel (azercabtagene zapreleucel) allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy. The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney will lead Australian patient recruitment, with enrolment beginning in November 2024, marking Australia's only active trial for allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy in treating relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This Australian expansion offers patients access to azer-cel, addressing critical treatment gaps for DLBCL, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Chong emphasised the importance of local access to this innovative therapy. Imugene's US trials have shown promising results, with three patients achieving complete responses, two of whom received a combination of azer-cel with lymphodepletion and interleukin-2 (IL-2), showing durable responses extending beyond 90 and 120 days. The company has also dosed the first patient in the intratumoural (IT) injection combination arm of its OASIS Phase 1 clinical trial for onCARlytics (CF33-CD19). This trial aims to test the efficacy and safety of Imugene's CD19-expressing oncolytic virotherapy in advanced or metastatic solid tumours. The first colorectal cancer patient was treated at Northwestern University, and the trial is expected to enrol up to 40 participants with various advanced cancers. #ProactiveInvestors #Imugene #ASX  #Oncology #CAR_TCellTherapy #AzerCel #Vaxinia #ClinicalTrials #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #DLBCL #HER2 #BileCancer #Biotechnology #ASX #FDAApproval #OrphanDrug #FastTrack #BiotechInvesting #OncolyticVirotherapy #CancerTreatment #CashPosition

BUFFALO, NY- June 18, 2024 – A new #research perspective was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on June 13, 2024, entitled, “When does a melanoma metastasize? Implications for management.” In this new perspective, researchers John F. Thompson and Gabrielle J. Williams from The University of Sydney, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and the University of Western Australia discussed melanoma and timing treatment. Selecting which patients with clinically localized melanoma require treatment other than wide excision of the primary tumor is based on the risk or presence of metastatic disease. This in turn is linked to survival. “Knowing if and when a melanoma is likely to metastasize is therefore of great importance.” Several studies employing a range of different methodologies have suggested that many melanomas metastasize long before the primary lesion is diagnosed. Therefore, waiting for dissemination of metastatic disease to become evident before making systemic therapy available to these patients may be less effective than giving them post-operative adjuvant therapy initially if the metastatic risk is high. The identification of these high-risk patients will assist in selecting those to whom adjuvant systemic therapy can most appropriately be offered. “Further studies are required to better identify high-risk patients whose primary melanoma is likely to have already metastasized.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28591 Correspondence to - John F.

Featuring the wonderful Benjamin Law and Professor John Rasko AO In this episode with the help of a cultural critic and a genetic expert we consider how to best make sense of our ancestral past and the dangers of over identifying with tribes alongside the very real opportunities science is giving us to change our genetics. While we are all unique individuals, who of course come from families and a line of ancestors, in the end we are responsible for our own lives. While we may look to our ancestry for helpful hints as to how to live well, how much, if at all, should our heritage define or constrain us? On a genetic level we have inherited some of the traits of our forebears, and even if, for example the colour of our skin, hair or facial features does express our genetic connection to race, that necessarily ‘mean' something to us or should it be embraced? What about inherited genetic disorders, are there responsibilities around passing these on that need to be considered? While knowing which ‘tribe' we come from can offer a deep sense of belonging, even pride, for some the reminder of our heritage is irrelevant or even shameful or simply unhelpful. The deep psychological pull towards identifying as part of a ‘tribe' can be particularly true if we are discriminated against because of your heritage and background. If you're attacked because you're black, Islamic, Asian, Jewish, deaf etc, you quickly find that you are part of that tribe, whether it's personally important to you or not. There are of course many dangers of over-identifying with tribes. Tribal thinking is always fraught with danger - any look at history will tell you that. These questions about whether our heritage matters, and what it means, have also become heavily politicised. We make sense of our lives through the stories we tell ourselves. Many of us seek out our ancestry, our tribe, as a way of knowing who we are. Yet inherited genes from past individuals, randomly shaken up in their journey across generations and finally passed from our parents to us are just that – random. So how much should our ethnic heritage matter, and is it the most important part of our individual stories? BIOS Benjamin Law is an Australian writer and broadcaster.

We've known for a decade that about 50 percent of doctors meet the criteria for burnout, and the figure is up to 70 percent among trainees. But organisations have been left to come up with their own solutions to this, the result being that many simply offer band aid solutions rather than systemic ones. Unforgiving work conditions pose a problem for both recruitment and retention of staff to the health workforce. The New Zealand Health Department, Te Whatu Ora, forecasts that within ten years supply of doctors, pharmacists and nurses will fall short of demand by 14 to 18 percent. In response they have establish they have established a national Health Charter that sets the workplace standards to keep staff safe and engaged.Australia is one step behind, but in early September there was a leadership conference aimed at developing a similar wellbeing strategy nationally. It was envisaged that there would be Chief Wellness Officers at every major health service, reporting validated metrics about their workforce to a national taskforce. And as explained in the keynote presentation at the conference, at the organisational level there are different responses appropriate to the three main domains that influence staff wellbeing; these being personal resilience, professional culture and basic administrative efficiency. This podcast captures reflections from wellbeing champions at several different Australasian health jurisdictions. GuestsDr George Eskander MB DCH DRANZCOG FRACGP (Executive Area Director Clinical Services; North Metropolitan Health Service & Sir Charles Gairdner Osborne Park Hospital Care Group) Dr Bethan Richards MB FRACP MMed MSportsMed (Head of Rheumatology, Chief Medical Wellness Officer, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital; Senior Clinical Lecturer, The University of Sydney) Dr Joanna Sinclair MB FANZCA (Senior Medical Officer Wellbeing Lead, Counties Manukau Health) Victoria Hirst (Chief of Knowledge Networks, General Manager of Health Roundtable, Beamtree)Associate Professor Anne Powell BPharm, MBBS, FRACP (Program Director of Physician Education, Alfred Health in Melbourne; Monash University) Professor Jennifer Martin MBChB MA FRACP PhD GAICD (Chair of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Newcastle; John Hunter Hospital)ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

What we eat and how we eat is a large part of the obesity problem and the growing waistlines we see today. It's very hard to resist the foods we love and there are very good reasons as to why. First, there's the food manufacturers themselves that have an uncanny ability to create food that smells, tastes, and looks delicious. But it's not just the crafty work of the food manufacturers, we also have our ancestors to thank. As hunter gatherers we evolved to seek out high energy, nutrient dense foods, which gave us best bang for our buck. Food wasn't always available, and it was hard to come by, so we gouged when it was available. Fast forward to today's environment - our genes haven't changed but our food environment has. The added fat, salt and sugars in these processed foods trigger addictive-like eating behaviours. How do you prevent the cravings? And how do you prevent the associated weight gain that comes with your favourite foods? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the studies to find out.

Coeliac disease is an auto-immune disorder triggered by the consumption of gluten; a protein found in wheat, rye and barley, to give products such as bread their elasticity and texture. When people with coeliac disease eat gluten, they damage their small intestine and can't absorb nutrients from food. They end up with unpleasant side effects such as itchy skin, heartburn, diarrhoea, bloating and constipation. Despite the increase in gluten-free products in shops and people avoiding it, the disease only affects 1 per cent of the population. Gluten is unsafe for those with coeliac disease BUT is it an issue for the rest of the population? Is going gluten-free a good idea?

More people than ever are turning to a vegan diet for a vast variety of reasons – these include ethical, cultural and health reasons. A vegan diet is a type of vegetarian diet that means abstaining from all animal products. This means no meat, poultry or fish. It also means no by-products such as eggs and dairy products. Basically, you're left to eating fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, which can make it quite challenging to meet your nutritional requirements for a variety of vitamins and minerals. The research identifies six nutritional alarms when turning vegan. Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the studies to find out.

Fussy eating is very common in young children and peaks around the age of 3. Fussy, picky, selective, or choosy eating refers to an unwillingness to eat familiar or new foods, and a lack of diet variety – typically less than 20 different foods in your child's diet. This can be a huge stress for parents because if the fussiness persists, it can lead to poor growth and development, nutrient deficiencies, and constipation. Plus it's really annoying.   The literature shows that almost half of all children will go through a fussy eating period and it's a normal stage of development. Most kids are selective eaters. And if you think about it, it makes perfect sense, because it's this food “fussiness” that ensured the survival of our ancestors, thousands of years ago. We sought out foods high in sugar and fat as these foods gave us best bang for our buck during times of food scarcity. And we rejected unfamiliar foods and bitter flavours - such as vegetables - to avoid ingestion of potential toxins. Over time, our genes haven't changed, but the food environment has. Now we're spoilt for choice – you can find your favourite foods on every block and our kids scream out for the stuff. But as the studies show, while the genes that determine food fussiness have been passed on from our ancestors, it's not our fate, and there's some simple tips to deal with our kids unwillingness to eat new foods.

Metabolism is a term that describes all the chemical reactions in your body that keep your body alive and functioning. It's most often used to describe your basal metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn at rest. Think of your metabolism, like your car. If you fill your car with poor quality fuel or you let it run out of petrol, it will have no power and won't operate efficiently. The same can be said for your body. If you neglect it, it will be sluggish and you'll burn less calories at rest. And this is not a favourable position to be in, as it makes it hard to manage your weight. Many factors can affect your metabolism including your sex, age, lifestyle and weight. And it definitely slows down as we get older. BUT, the good news is, there are things you can do to speed it up.

Alcohol offers a mixed legacy to our society, having long been used in a broad range of social, cultural and religious contexts. In fact, we've been drinking fermented beverages for about 10,000 years. In Australia, per capita alcohol consumption has been decreasing over the last 50 years. But even though Australia has seen a general reduction in alcohol consumption, it still contributes to a significant amount of disease as reported by the World Health Organization. In fact, it's linked to more than 200 diseases, including cancer, heart disease and liver disease. And that's due to the active ingredient found in alcoholic beverages - a simple molecule called ethanol. This molecule affects the body in many different ways. The one we're most familiar with is how it affects our thinking. It interferes with the brain's communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. But it also directly influences the stomach, heart, gallbladder, and liver, and increases the amount of cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin in the blood all of which impact our health and weight. BUT is it all bad news or are there some benefits from drinking alcohol? Can it be part of a healthy lifestyle? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

One of the biggest challenges in life for women relates to menopause. Typically, women reach menopause, which marks the end of menstruation in a woman's life, between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can happen much earlier or as late as 60. Most women put on about half a kilo of weight every year during this period of life. This is especially important because considering the average life expectancy of women in developed countries is 81 years, women will spend about 40 per cent of their life in post-menopause, and the weight gain you experience during this time will put you at increased risk of disease. So, how do you prevent the weight gain that comes with menopause? Are hormones to blame? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

Fats are an important part of a healthy diet. But some are better for you than others. Trans fats are bad for our health, as are a lot of saturated fats. Mono and polyunsaturated fats should make up most of our fat intake. But when it comes to saturated fats, it gets complicated. Not all foods containing saturated fat are equal and therefore not all are bad for our health. What are the different types of fat? In which foods do you find them? And which fats should you be avoiding for optimum health and a healthy weight? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

Good nutrition during pregnancy will help to keep you and your developing baby healthy. But, it's not just the quality of food you need to focus on, the quantity is important too. You need to eat much more than you normally do and it will result in weight gain. Irrespective of your weight when you fall pregnant, it's healthy to put on weight during pregnancy and vital for the growth and development of your baby. However, many struggle to lose pregnancy-related weight and this can result in long-term obesity and related serious chronic conditions. So, what parts of your diet do you need to focus on when you're pregnant? How do you shed the kilos postpartum? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

This is a topic that is relevant to all of you, if not now, it will be in years to come. And that's because we are an ageing population. By 2051, nearly 25% of the population will be over 65 years and 5% will be over 85 years. There are many considerations as we age but one of the most important is lifestyle, particularly diet. As you become older, your diet needs are different to when you were younger because your body stops working as well as it once did. For example, it's not as good at producing the hormones and enzymes that are required to absorb the nutrients from the food you eat. Consequently, you become more susceptible to nutritional deficiencies and the poor health outcomes that follow. There is no debating that preventative health strategies (for example, a healthy diet and a healthy weight) that are adopted in early life have the greatest effect on preventing disease, but as discussed in this week's podcast, you'll also improve your health, reduce your risk of disease, improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of dying early, through the adoption of healthy eating in later life (i.e. over the age of 65). So, what parts of your diet do you need to focus on as you age? Join Dr Nick as he takes you on a deep dive into the science to find out.

There's intense debate about what type of diet is most effective for weight loss — those with a focus on protein, those that emphasize carbohydrates, or those that focus on fat – and its been going on for decades. But what we're particularly interested in today's podcast is carbs. For decades we've been told to stay away from them. Originating in the 1970s with the evolution of the Atkins Diet, this has since morphed into our well-known diets, for example, Paleo and Keto, which advocate the cutting of carbs. BUT are carbs bad for your waistline and health? Will they hinder your weight loss journey? And should you be cutting them from the evening meal?

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide and recent estimates suggest that more than 50 million cups of coffee are consumed daily, worldwide. There's a lot of research to show that it does more than just wake us up – coffee doesn't just contain caffeine, it's also packed with nutrients, such as antioxidants, which are good for our health. It's also stated to have weight loss benefits. BUT, does coffee or caffeine help us burn more fat? Will it speed up your metabolism? And will it help you on your weight loss journey?

Dairy products are made from cow's milk. Cow's milk contains approximately 87% water, 4.6% lactose (carbohydrate), 3.4% protein, 0.8% minerals (e.g. calcium, magnesium, potassium) and 0.1% vitamins. It's also a source of fat (4.2%) which is predominantly saturated and consequently it's one of the biggest contributors to saturated fat in our diet. In fact, it contributes to approximately one-fifth of total saturated fat intake consumed which is where the potential problem lies. Because one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease is saturated fat intake as it increases our bad cholesterol level (otherwise known as our LDL or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). BUT are all saturated fats equal? Is it OK to have full fat dairy or do you need to be sticking to skim or low fat dairy? And is dairy going to make you fat?

The number of people struggling with their weight has doubled since 1980 – If we look at Australia, for example, approximately 2 in 3 people are now considered overweight. Consequently, we turn to diets, often spruiked by big-names celebrities to lose weight, and many of these diets promote eating little in the morning or skipping breakfast entirely. Intermittent fasting is the current fad we are all talking about, and it often means breakfast is the first to be scrapped from the menu in an attempt to cut calories from the diet and shorten the eating window throughout the day. Should you be skipping breakfast? Does it matter how much you eat at each meal? And should you eat your evening meal before 6pm?

When it comes to weight loss supplements and pills, there's no shortage of them on the market. These are products that you can buy off the shelf in a pharmacy, supermarket and even some convenience stores. However, the biggest issue is that unlike pharmaceutical drugs, evidence for a weight loss pills safety and how effective it is, is not required before it hits the market.
