St. Louis Native Heather Lynn Discusses Motivation for Donating Her Stem Cells – Ladue News

By daniellenierenberg

Since losing her cousin to leukemia during childhood, Heather Lynn made it her mission to ensure others battling blood cancers get a second chance at life. Earlier this year, the St. Louis native fulfilled that life purpose: saving a stranger by donating her stem cells.

Five years ago, Lynn became the director of global special events for DKMS, the worlds largest bone marrow and blood stem cell donor center, and registered as a potential donor with the hope that someday she could give a blood cancer patient what her cousin didnt have a second chance at life and more time with the patients family.

Amid this years coronaviral pandemic, Lynn received the life-changing call from a colleague that she was a match for a 58-year-old man battling acute myeloid leukemia. I screamed with joy, Lynn recalls. I was a match for someone with blood cancer and was about to be the first employee at DKMS to donate and ultimately save someones life. After the call, Lynn realized she would be giving more than stem cells: I was giving something much bigger: hope.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, Lynn felt a strong sense of purpose to help this man and donated her stem cells to save his life. I have seen how much someones life can change with a blood cancer diagnosis, Lynn says. The fear, the pain, the loss it can be devastating. I have spent the past five years working to elevate the message about donating and how easy it is to sign up and give back it simply requires swabbing the inside of each cheek for 60 seconds.

Community Cord Blood Banking saves life of child with aplastic anaemia – The Hindu

By daniellenierenberg

Community Cord Blood Banking, a stem cell banking initiative introduced by LifeCell in 2017, has helped save the life of a seven-year-old girl from Nashik in Maharashtra who was suffering from aplastic anaemia, a rare and serious blood disorder.

In a major breakthrough, a team of senior doctors from LOTUS Institute of Haematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation, recently conducted Indias first dual cord blood transplant through an unrelated donor using Community Stem Cell Banking. People familiar with the development said the transplant was challenging because no apt bone marrow donors were available and the cost of retrieval of matching units from public cord blood banks would have been high.

The girls parents, as members of LifeCell Community Bank, placed a request for two matching cord blood units after the childs sibling was found to be only a 50% (4/8) match. Two high-quality matches (7/8) were found in the registry, which fulfilled the requirement for umbilical cord blood transplantation. The parents could withdraw the matched units at no extra expense, which would have cost around 45 lakh per unit.

Mayur Abhaya, MD, LifeCell International said, The purpose of Community Cord Blood Banking is to ensure easy and rapid access to stem cells for every Indian without the hurdles of public and private banking models. While stem cells from the umbilical cord blood can be procured from global public banks, the probability of finding a match for a patient of Indian origin is less than 10% because of the low inventory of available units plus the big issue of donor dropouts.

Mr. Abhaya said, Luckily, since the family was a part of LifeCells community banking programme, they could gain quick, free access to the huge inventory of over 50,000 qualified and consented units available at LifeCell, which provides greater than 97% probability of finding a match.

In majority of blood-related disorders treatable by transplants, patients own stem cells are not suitable. Hence, the best donor is a close family member, usually a sibling. However, in this case, there was only a 50% match with the sibling, thus needing a match from an unrelated donor, LifeCell said in a statement. It said while a regular stem cell transplant requires a dose of 25 million cells per kg of the patients weight, for aplastic anaemia, the recommended minimum dose is 40 million cells per kg, which is not easy to find.

The community banking model made it possible and the child received a timely transplant with an encouraging prognosis. Just 18 days after the transplant, white blood cells were completely engrafted, and platelets and red blood cell production also increased drastically, the statement added.

Dr. Pritesh Junagade, director, LOTUS Hospital, expressed surprise that the retrieval process for two cord blood units was smooth and at no additional cost to the patient as compared to other banking models.

Tasneem Bohari, the childs father, said: It was two years ago that my daughter was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia. At the time of diagnosis, the doctors had suggested she would need a stem cell transplant eventually and it would be the best possible treatment in the future.

The family did research and made enquiries about which stem cell bank to opt for as they were expecting their second child. It was during this time that their friends and relatives suggested LifeCell to them. Their doctor also suggested that they could go ahead and preserve their babys stem cell with LifeCell.

At the time of preservation, we didnt have much idea about Community Stem Cell Banking and its benefits, but today we are happy to associate with LifeCell, who have helped my daughter lead a quality life through cord blood transplant, Mr. Bohari said.

Community Cord Blood Banking allows sharing of preserved umbilical cord stem cells from a common pool amongst the members of the community. The model offers greater and easier access to donor stem cells, unlimited retrievals at the cost of one enrolment, and a higher probability for finding a close match for potentially life-saving treatments.

This facility ensures complete protection to the child, siblings, parents, and maternal and paternal grandparents from more than 80 disorders treatable by stem cells.

Jakafi and Dacogen May Improve Overall Survival in Patients with MPN – Curetoday.com

By daniellenierenberg

Results from a phase 2 study demonstrated that treatment with Jakafi (ruxolitinib) and Dacogen (decitabine) was well tolerated and contributed to favorable overall survival (OS) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) in the accelerated or blast phase.

MPN is a blood cancer that develops when a stem cell mutation in the bone marrow leads to an overproduction of white cells, red cells and/or platelets. The accelerated phase of MPN refers to when 10% to 19% of blasts, or immature blood cells, are in the blood circulating through the body or in the bone marrow, whereas the blast phase refers to 20% or greater blasts in the circulating blood or bone marrow, according to the study published in Blood Advances.

This study was important, as patients with an antecedent (pre-existing) myeloproliferative neoplasm that evolves into an acute myeloid leukemia have a dismal prognosis of several months, and induction chemotherapy alone does not improve outcome unless followed by consolidation hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, Dr. John O. Mascarenhas, director of the adult leukemia program and leader of the myeloproliferative neoplasm clinical research program at Tisch Cancer Institute at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said in an interview with CURE.

The study authors previously assessed this therapy in a multicenter, phase 1 trial.

We had previously shown that the epigenetic modifying agent decitabine can be administered (on) an outpatient (basis) and improve outcome with a median survival of nine to 10 months, Mascarenhas said. This prospective, phase 2, multicenter, investigated-initiated trial built on the phase 1 trial of combination decitabine and ruxolitinib based on supportive preclinical data from the laboratory of our collaborator, (Dr.) Ross Levine.

In this current trial, 25 patients (median age, 71 years; 56% women) with MPN either in the accelerated phase (10 patients; median age, 70.1 years; 70% women) or blast phase (15 patients; median age, 71.6 years; 46.7% women) were treated with Jakafi and Dacogen. A 25 mg dose of Jakafi was administered orally twice per day for 28 days in addition to a 20 mg/m2 dose of Dacogen intravenously during days 8 through 12. After that first cycle, the dose of Jakafi was reduced to 10 mg.

The prespecified primary endpoint, or goal, was best response by six months, and the predetermined secondary endpoint focused on the safety and tolerability of Jakafi and Dacogen. Study authors defined OS as the time from the first dose of Jakafi to death from any cause.

During follow-up, 19 patients died from causes including respiratory failure, disease progression, sepsis and pneumonia. Patients in this study had a median OS of 9.5 months. Overall response rate, which included complete remission, incomplete platelet recovery and partial remission, occurred in 44% of patients. Response to this treatment was not linked with improved survival.

This combination is well tolerated and can provide spleen symptom benefit and survival advantage compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, Mascarenhas said. This study supports the use of this approach to maintain ambulatory care of these very advanced patients with a limited lifespan. This is one therapeutic approach that is now included in the (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) guidelines.

Mascarenhas added that more research is needed in this area. Ultimately, we need to identify active agents that can fully eliminate the malignant hematopoietic stem cell and attain molecular remissions that afford patients long-term survival, he said. This is an ongoing area of active translational research of our group.

Gene-edited monkey embryos give researchers new way to study HIV cure – University of Wisconsin-Madison

By daniellenierenberg

Egg cells harvested from Mauritian cynomolgus macaques (top left) were fertilized (top right) and injected with CRISPR gene editing materials to insert a genetic mutation that cured two men of HIV in the last decade. The growing embryos (developing in the bottom images), if carried to maturity by surrogates, will help researchers study the mutation as a potential treatment for HIV. Courtesy of Golos and Slukvin labs

A gene that cured a man of HIV a decade ago has been successfully added to developing monkey embryos in an effort to study more potential treatments for the disease.

Timothy Brown, known for years as the Berlin Patient, received a transplant of bone marrow stem cells in 2007 to treat leukemia. The cells came from a donor with a rare genetic mutation that left the surfaces of their white blood cells without a protein called CCR5. When Browns immune system was wiped out and replaced by the donated cells, his new immune systems cells carried the altered gene.

This mutation cuts a chunk out of the genome so that it loses a functional gene, CCR5, that is a co-receptor for HIV, says Ted Golos, a University of WisconsinMadison reproductive scientist and professor of comparative biosciences and obstetrics and gynecology. Without CCR5, the virus cant attach to and enter cells to make more HIV. So, in Timothy Browns case, his infection was eliminated.

In 2019, a second cancer patient Adam Castillejo, initially identified as the London patient was cleared of his HIV by a stem cell transplant conferring the same mutation.

Thats very exciting, and there have been some follow up studies. But its been complicated, to say the least, Golos says.

Between the two transplants came a more infamous application of the mutation, when in 2018 Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui announced he had used the DNA-editing tool CRISPR to write the mutation into the DNA of a pair of human embryos. His work drew criticism from scientists concerned with the ethics of altering genes that can be passed down to human offspring, and he was jailed by the Chinese government for fraud.

The promise of the CCR5 mutation remains, but not without further study. The mutation occurs naturally in fewer than 1 percent of people, suggesting that it may not be associated only with positive health outcomes. An animal model for research can help answer open questions.

Given interest in moving forward gene-editing technologies for correcting genetic diseases, preclinical studies of embryo editing in nonhuman primates are very critical, says stem cell researcher Igor Slukvin, a UWMadison professor of pathology and laboratory medicine.

Golos, Slukvin and colleagues at UWMadisons Wisconsin National Primate Research Center and schools of Veterinary Medicine and Medicine and Public Health employed CRISPR to edit the DNA in newly fertilized embryos of cynomolgus macaque monkeys. They published their work recently in the journal Scientific Reports.

Slukvins lab had already established a method for slicing the CCR5-producing gene out of the DNA in human pluripotent stem cells, which can be used to generate immune cells resistant to HIV.

We used that same targeting construct that we already knew worked in cells, and delivered it to one-cell fertilized embryos, says Jenna Kropp Schmidt, a Wisconsin National Primate Research Center scientist. The thought is that if you make the genetic edit in the early embryo that it should propagate through all the cells as the embryo grows.

Primate Center scientist Nick Strelchenko found that as much as one-third of the time the gene edits successfully deleted the sections of DNA in CRISPRs crosshairs base pairs in both of the two copies of the CCR5 gene on a chromosome and were carried on into new cells as the embryos grew.

The goal now is to transfer these embryos into surrogates to produce live offspring who carry the mutation, Schmidt says.

Cynomolgus macaques are native to Southeast Asia, but a group of the monkeys has lived in isolation on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius for about 500 years. Because the entire Mauritian monkey line descends from a small handful of founders, they have just seven variations of the major histocompatibility complex, the group of genes that must be matched between donor and recipient for a successful bone marrow transplant. There are hundreds of MHC variations in humans.

With MHC-matched monkeys carrying the CCR5 mutation, the researchers would have a reliable way to study how successful the transplants are against the simian immunodeficiency virus, which works in monkeys just like HIV does in humans.

Anti-retroviral drugs have really positively changed the expectation for HIV infection, but in some patients, they may not be as effective. And theyre certainly not without long-term consequences, says Golos, whose work is funded by the National Institutes of Health. So, this is potentially an alternative approach, which also allows us to expand our understanding of the immune system and how it might protect people from HIV infection.

The animal model could lead to the development of gene-edited human hematopoietic stem cells the type that work in bone marrow to produce many kinds of blood cells that Slukvin and Golos say could be used as an off-the-shelf treatment for HIV infection.

This research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R24OD021322, P51OD011106, K99 HD099154-01, RR15459-01 and RR020141-01).

Ruxolitinib for Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease Improves Outcomes in the Second Line – Targeted Oncology

By daniellenierenberg

During a Targeted Oncology Case Based Peer Perspective event, Usama Gergis, MD, MBA, professor of Oncology, director, Bone Marrow Transplant and Immune Cellular Therapy at Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, discussed the case of a 48-year-old male patient with acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD).

Targeted Oncology: For a patient such as this, what is the risk of developing acute (GVHD) following transplant?

GERGIS: The list of risk factors for GVHD is huge: donor HLA [human leukocyte antigen] disparities that are major/minor, sex matching, donor parity, donor age, blood typewhile its controversialdonor CMV seropositivity, gene polymorphism, and stemcell graft source. Obviously, peripheral mobilized stem cells have more T cells than bone marrow. Other factors include graft composition, the higher CD34 the higher lymphocytes, and conditioning intensities. There are a bunch of factors here, at least for our patient, who had a MAC. The fact that his donor is a multirisk, 50-year-old woman and a MUD [infers] similar higher risk.

How quickly do you determine whether a patient is steroid refractory or steroid dependent?

Basically, steroid refractoriness or resistance versus dependence versus intolerance [can be determined in] as early as 3 days. If there is progression of the grade of GVHD, this is considered steroid refractory. If by 4 weeks it does not go to grade 0, its considered refractory. However, I disagree with the 28-day [timeline]. I think its a long time to wait. Usually, I look at 2 weeks.

This has been the consensus among many of us. I think the trials REACH-1 [NCT02953678] and REACH-2 [NCT02435433] looked at 28 days; but if you go to the 2 papers, most responses took place in 7 to 14 days. Again, this is in the second-line setting.

Ive been doing this for 15 years. Ive been through most of this; so many lines [of therapy and] so many heartbreaks. I teach my fellows to look at any [research] paper in second-line GVHDthe overall response rate is 30%. Ive done it with MMF [mycophenolate mofetil], sirolimus [Rapamune], infliximab [Remicade], ATG [antithymocyte globulin], cyclophosphamide, Ontak [denileukin diftitox], and mesenchymal stem cells and overall response rate is 30%.

Which data support the use of ruxolitinib (Jakafi) in patients who are steroid refractory?

Based on a small trial of 49 patients, a phase 2 trial [INCB 18424-271; NCT02953678], ruxolitinib was approved as a second-line therapy for patients with acute steroid-refractory GVHD.1

Review the details of the REACH-2 trial.

The REACH-2 trial data were just published in 2020. Ruxolitinib was approved based on a small trial of 49 patients with steroid-refractory acute GVHD. They enrolled 70 but only 49 were available for efficacy. Obviously, it was a pilot phase 2 with no comparative arm, and the response rates across the board were [somewhere in the range of] 50% or so by day 28.

Then they were asked to run a phase 3 trial comparing ruxolitinib at 10 mg twice daily versus best available care. The best available care goes through the list that I just mentioned, including photopheresis, ATG, and others. After 4 weeks, patients who were not responders on the best available care were allowed to cross over to ruxolitinib.

By day 28, the responders on the ruxolitinib composed 60% of the cohort versus 40% on the control arm with a P value of less than .001. The durability of response at 8 weeks was 40% versus 20% [odds ratio, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.43 to 3.94; P < .001].

This tell us that ruxolitinib works in this group, that it does not work that great in one-third of patients who lose their response at 8 weeks, and that its just better than anything else [thats available]. A good thing about the ruxolitinib arm is that the response duration was much longer than best available treatment, as illustrated by the Kaplan-Meier curve for response duration.

Failure-free survival [in this trial] was 5.0 months versus 1.0 month [HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.35-0.60].

Do you apply this therapy to any of your patients?

We have a patient [at my institution] who has steroid-refractory GVHD. Last Friday in our weekly meeting, we were discussing his [case]. He has lower GI [gastrointestinal] GVHDgrade IV, steroid-refractory, as bad as it getsand I said lets start him on ruxolitinib. One of my colleagues said it doesnt work well in the lower GI. I asked the organizers to pull [data] from the supplemental figures on the New England Journal of Medicine paper of REACH-2 [indicating that these patients did have a benefit with ruxolitinib].2

BRTXQ came to the attention of many penny stock speculators after the Company partnered on a new bankruptcy reorganization plan with one of its creditors Auctus Capital in which it would emerge from bankruptcy with the commons intact, ready to begin phase 2 trials and get BioRestorative back on a national stock exchange.

BioRestorative Therapies has received authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat persistent lower back pain due to painful degenerative discs. BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a persons own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patients bone marrow. It is the Companys intend that the product be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders.

BioRestorative Therapies Inc (OTCMKTS: BRTX) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders: Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC): Its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a persons own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patients bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders.

The BRTX-100 production process utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patients bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patients damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. The Company has received authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat persistent lower back pain due to painful degenerative discs.

Metabolic Program (ThermoStem): the Company is developing a cell-based therapy to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (BAT). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in the body may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes.

Mount Sinai Cardiologist Awarded $2.9 Million NIH Grant to Advance Work with Stem Cells and Heart Repair after Heart Attack – Cath Lab Digest

By daniellenierenberg

Research may lead to identifying novel therapies for cardiac patients

(New York, NY November 19, 2020) Human placental stem cells may have the potential to regenerate heart tissue after a heart attack, according to Mount Sinai researchers who have received a $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study them. Their findings could lead to new therapies for repairing the heart and other organs.

Hina W. Chaudhry, MD,Director of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is the Principal Investigator for this four-year award.

This is very exciting. These cells may represent the ideal cell type for heart repair, which has been very challenging because clinical trials of other cell types did not find much benefit, says Dr. Chaudhry. Weve never before seen a stem cell type that can be harvested from an adult organthe placentaand has the ability to travel through the circulation and not be attacked by the immune system.

Dr. Chaudhry and a team of investigators previously discovered thatmouse placental stem cells can help the hearts of mice recover from injury that could otherwise lead to heart failure. They identified a specific type of placental stem cells, called Cdx2 cells, as the most effective in making heart cells regenerate. They discovered this by inducing heart attacks in groups of male mice and then injecting the placental Cdx2 cells isolated from females into their bloodstream. Imaging showed that the mice with Cdx2 stem cell treatments had significant improvement in cardiac function and regeneration of healthy tissue in the heart. The mice without this stem cell therapy went into heart failure and their hearts had no evidence of regeneration.

This team also found that the mouse Cdx2 cells have all the proteins of embryonic stem cells, which are known to generate all organs of the body, but also additional proteins, giving them the ability to travel directly to the injury site, which is something embryonic stem cells cannot do, and the Cdx2 cells appear to avoid the host immune response.

The new grant allows the researchers to build upon this discovery by isolating human Cdx2 cells from human placentas and studying their ability to grow heart cells. They also plan to expand into other organs and tissues in the future.

This was a serendipitous discovery based on clinical observations of patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy. We surmised that stem cells originating from the placenta may be assisting in repair of the mothers heart and designed studies to identify the cell types involved. We then showed that they work very well in male mice also when isolated from female placentas and now we hope to design a human cell therapy strategy for heart regeneration with this grant. Given that these cells maintain all the stem properties of embryonic stem cells, we are hopeful to utilize them for other types of organ repair as well, adds Dr. Chaudhry.

The grant is being used in collaboration with the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pathology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
