Thanks to epigenetic research, it turns out that 70 to 75 per cent of skin ageing is up to your environment and lifestyle, instead of genes. We ask Prof Augustinus Bader, co-founder of his eponymous skincare brand, and Dr Nadine Pernodet, Este Lauder's vice president of Skin Biology and BioActives more

Heres a piece of good news and not so great news. Thanks to epigenetic research, studies have found that while genes play a role in your skin type and how it ages, 70 to 75 per cent of skin ageing is actually dependent of environment and lifestyle factors. The goodyou have a chance at achieving youthful skin. The badyoull have to put in some extra effort for it.

Epigenetics refers to modifications that change the expression of genes but do not directly alter the DNA sequence. The science of epigenetics shows that factors such as environment and lifestyle can change your gene expression, Dr Nadine Pernodet, vice president of Skin Biology & BioActives at the Este Lauder Companies, explains.

The genes in your skin are set. You were born with it, and it is a given, but you caninfluence them, says Prof Augustinus Bader, founder of his eponymous skincare brand.

Lifestyle factors, such as what youeat, where you live, when yousleep, how youexercise, evenageingcan eventually cause chemical modifications around the genes that will turn those genes on or off over time.

Though cell care isnt a new concept, it has increasingly taken centre stage in the skincare industry in recent years.

Este Lauder most recently reformulated its well-loved Advanced Night Repair Serum, boasting a new Chronolux Power Signal Technology that is powered by a proprietary blend of New Adansonia digitata extract and other plant-derived ingredients to boost cellular communication.

Through seven years of research, Este Lauder has proved for the first time that a specific micro-signalling molecule is essential to the skins natural repair and promotes multiple vital anti-ageing pathways.

Significantly, this molecule, helps skin increase its natural renewal of fresh cells and boosts its natural collagen production, Dr Pernodet shares.

Hollywood favourite Augustinus Bader, whose star product is The Cream, has also always been informed by cellular science since its founding. The brand officially launched in Singapore in September.

Our skincare technology works with the skin's own intrinsic repair needs by delivering various active ingredients that control and influence the skin cells in a targeted manner. This combination of active ingredients makes up our proprietary Trigger-Factor Complex 8 (TFC8), Prof Bader shares.

TFC8 functions like GPS: utilising a novel transporting mechanism made up of ceramide structures to deliver these nutrient compounds to the right location within the skin cell microenvironment. In short, the cream naturally causes the skin to undergo a physiological process of remodelling. When you can do that, you can influence epigenetic factors that enable the body to fix your skin according to your own needs.

We find out more from both experts about skin ageing, and how to optimise your environment and lifestyle for a more youthful complexion.

Signs of ageing skin is mainly characterised by dryness, dullness, lack of elasticity, and fine lines. According to Dr Pernodet, this can be influenced by the environment, such as UV and blue light, pollution and ozone, travel, and varied climates as well as lifestyle choices, like diet and sleep patterns.

Environmental factors such as UV and blue light exposure and pollution can result in oxidative stress on the skin, manifesting as wrinkles, roughness, pigmentation, and yellowish or greyish-yellow complexion.

Diets heavy in fat, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and baked goods can also compromise the skins barrier function, cause skin inflammation, and affect its lipid composition.

The skin completely renews itselfapproximately every 27 days. Since our skin is living tissue, it is also not a permanentstructure; it is nourished and rebuilt every day. This rebuilding is called remodelling, Prof Bader explains.

Ageingcorrelates with a lack of elasticity due to a different form of remodelling of the skin over time.Positively rebuilding our skin can be achieved by returningessential components to the cells of our skin.

The cells can then follow their natural role of rebuilding the skin in a healthy way, gradually replacing hardened forms of collagens in aged skin with elastin.

We often hear about the term circadian rhythm, and its more than just a body clock that determines when you wake up or sleep. As every cell in our body has a circadian rhythm, it can impact everything from our hormones and moods to our skin.

This means that different processes are occurring to your skin at different periods of the day, making them more susceptible to certain types of skincare at each period.

According to both Prof Bader and Dr Pernodet, night time is when the skins natural process is at its peak, and its barrier becomes more permeable for products to absorb effectively.

Nighttime is when the skins moisture barrier is at its thinnest, causing the most moisture loss. Dehydration can also accelerate skin damage. That is why hydration is so critical before bed to creating the optimal environment for skin to maximise its natural nightly repair of visible skin damage, Dr Pernodet advises. The Este Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Multi-Recovery Complex includes a high level of hyaluronic acida moisture magnetthat promises to offer 72 hours of hydration. The night serum also offers eight hours of antioxidant power.

Products rich in antioxidants defend skin against further trauma from free radical damage and oxidative stress, which helps to improve signs of ageing.

Life inflicts little traumas on the skin all the time. Your stem cells are there to heal these traumas. As you get older, your skin becomes less adept at healing itself, instead often favouring scarringwhich you experience as your skin looking more aged, Prof Bader shares.

Augustinus Baders The Cream is designed to target these traumas inflicted by everyday stressors by providing the cells with everything they need to help fix the things that go wrong. It does this with TFC8 complex, which replenishes key nutrients with a blend of natural amino acids, medical-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules that are naturally found on the skin. The addition of antioxidant vitamins C and B5, as well as hydrolysed rice protein also helps to hydrate, condition and heal the skin.

One of the key factors boosting the growth of this market is the limitations of traditional organ transplantation such as the risk of infection, rejection, and immunosuppression risk. Another drawback of conventional organ transplantation is that doctors have to depend on organ donors completely. All these issues can be eliminated, by the application of stem cell therapy. Another factor which is helping the growth in this market is the growing pipeline and development of drugs for emerging applications. Increased research studies aiming to widen the scope of stem cell will also fuel the growth of the market. Scientists are constantly engaged in trying to find out novel methods for creating human stem cells in response to the growing demand for stem cell production to be used for disease management.

It is estimated that the dermatology application will contribute significantly the growth of the global stem cell therapy market. This is because stem cell therapy can help decrease the after effects of general treatments for burns such as infections, scars, and adhesion. The increasing number of patients suffering from diabetes and growing cases of trauma surgery will fuel the adoption of stem cell therapy in the dermatology segment.

Global Stem Cell Therapy Market: Overview

Also called regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy encourages the reparative response of damaged, diseased, or dysfunctional tissue via the use of stem cells and their derivatives. Replacing the practice of organ transplantations, stem cell therapies have eliminated the dependence on availability of donors. Bone marrow transplant is perhaps the most commonly employed stem cell therapy.

Osteoarthritis, cerebral palsy, heart failure, multiple sclerosis and even hearing loss could be treated using stem cell therapies. Doctors have successfully performed stem cell transplants that significantly aid patients fight cancers such as leukemia and other blood-related diseases.

Global Stem Cell Therapy Market: Key Trends

The key factors influencing the growth of the global stem cell therapy market are increasing funds in the development of new stem lines, the advent of advanced genomic procedures used in stem cell analysis, and greater emphasis on human embryonic stem cells. As the traditional organ transplantations are associated with limitations such as infection, rejection, and immunosuppression along with high reliance on organ donors, the demand for stem cell therapy is likely to soar. The growing deployment of stem cells in the treatment of wounds and damaged skin, scarring, and grafts is another prominent catalyst of the market.

On the contrary, inadequate infrastructural facilities coupled with ethical issues related to embryonic stem cells might impede the growth of the market. However, the ongoing research for the manipulation of stem cells from cord blood cells, bone marrow, and skin for the treatment of ailments including cardiovascular and diabetes will open up new doors for the advancement of the market.

Global Stem Cell Therapy Market: Market Potential

A number of new studies, research projects, and development of novel therapies have come forth in the global market for stem cell therapy. Several of these treatments are in the pipeline, while many others have received approvals by regulatory bodies.

In March 2017, Belgian biotech company TiGenix announced that its cardiac stem cell therapy, AlloCSC-01 has successfully reached its phase I/II with positive results. Subsequently, it has been approved by the U.S. FDA. If this therapy is well- received by the market, nearly 1.9 million AMI patients could be treated through this stem cell therapy.

Another significant development is the granting of a patent to Israel-based Kadimastem Ltd. for its novel stem-cell based technology to be used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other similar conditions of the nervous system. The companys technology used for producing supporting cells in the central nervous system, taken from human stem cells such as myelin-producing cells is also covered in the patent.

Global Stem Cell Therapy Market: Regional Outlook

The global market for stem cell therapy can be segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. North America emerged as the leading regional market, triggered by the rising incidence of chronic health conditions and government support. Europe also displays significant growth potential, as the benefits of this therapy are increasingly acknowledged.

Asia Pacific is slated for maximum growth, thanks to the massive patient pool, bulk of investments in stem cell therapy projects, and the increasing recognition of growth opportunities in countries such as China, Japan, and India by the leading market players.

Global Stem Cell Therapy Market: Competitive Analysis

Several firms are adopting strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, and partnerships, apart from product development with a view to attain a strong foothold in the global market for stem cell therapy.

Some of the major companies operating in the global market for stem cell therapy are RTI Surgical, Inc., MEDIPOST Co., Ltd., Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., NuVasive, Inc., Pharmicell Co., Ltd., Anterogen Co., Ltd., JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., and Holostem Terapie Avanzate S.r.l.

Stem Cell Therapy Market to Register Unwavering Growth During 2025 - The Think Curiouser

Skin Stem Cells Comments Off on Stem Cell Therapy Market to Register Unwavering Growth During 2025 – The Think Curiouser | October 30th, 2020

Fremont, CA , Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- APstem Therapeutics, Inc., a private biopharmaceutical company developing breakthrough stem cell therapies, today announced the completion of an INitial Targeted Engagement for Regulatory Advice on CBER ProducTs (INTERACT) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies (OTAT). The meeting, which included CBER OTAT staff together with the APstem team, focused on the development plan for AP-Skin-01, a novel off-the-shelf allogeneic stem cell product derived from adult pluripotent stem cells (APSCs) for the initial treatment of diabetic ulcers.

Previous efforts to treat diabetic ulcers have been hampered by persistent inflammation, ischemia and delayed re-epithelialization, which together have posed an insurmountable challenge for drug developers. APstems proprietary stem cell technologies and unique attributes of APSCs may circumvent these obstacles. Preclinical results generated to date by APstem support the potential of AP-Skin-01 to treat difficult-to-heal diabetic ulcers by accelerating healing. AP-Skin-01 is designed to provide full skin structural reconstruction with less scar formation, promote angiogenesis and reduce inflammation during the repair process.

The INTERACT meeting we conducted with the FDA is an important first step in our development of AP-Skin-01. We considered the meeting to be very successful, with productive feedback from the FDA reviewers and strong alignment of APstems development approach for AP-Skin-01, said Dr. Min Hu, CEO and president of APstem Therapeutics. I would like to thank the reviewers from FDA CBER OTAT for their time and helpful guidance. We look forward to continuing our planned pre-clinical work into 2021.

Dr. Jane Lebkowski, APstems scientific advisor and an expert in the development of cell and gene therapies, added: The field of chronic diabetic wounds remains a critical unmet medical need in the expanding diabetic population worldwide. This new therapy has high potential to accelerate full skin regeneration. Therefore, we are grateful for FDAs positive feedback to accelerate the development of this product that could treat millions of patients.

INTERACT is the first available FDA interaction and is a key step in the pathway towards an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, the first regulatory step before experimental therapies may be tested in human clinical studies.

About APstem Therapeutics, Inc.

APstem Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing, manufacturing, and commercializing novel stem cell therapies. APstems breakthrough stem cell therapy platform using our unique APSCs can be applied to multiple indications, including skin (diabetic ulcers), liver, lungs, bone/cartilage, heart, neuron and other tissues.

The Medical Skin Care Products market to witness non-linear transition from 2017 to 2025 - Eurowire

Skin Stem Cells Comments Off on The Medical Skin Care Products market to witness non-linear transition from 2017 to 2025 – Eurowire | October 29th, 2020

He grew up in Italy and now calls Londonwhere he runs his eponymous clinichome. Meet Pietro Simone, the aesthetician turned product-formulating wiz hoping to turn Americans on to the power of peptides and Italian-powered ingredients with the release of his two skin-care collections this fall.

When Simone set out to create his lines, he wanted a specific formulation something bio-recognizable for the skin that consumers can use at home and I can use in the clinic. The result: An edited-down selection that is pure and continuously evolving. I dont believe in creating 125 products; I believe in the evolution of the products, he says. I can always improve the formulation, and I can add or remove ingredientsthat is especially important when youre dealing with high-end actives.

The proprietary Italian Bella Complex, found in all of the products, reads like a regional passport: The indigenous-toItaly actives include the antioxidants of Puglian tomato seed and Sicilian almond oils, nourishing Tuscan grapeseed and Vinnaciolo oils, Vesuvian apple, an anti-glycation powerhouse, and stem cellrich edelweiss from the Italian Alps. You can go and have pizza wherever you want, wherever you are, but that doesnt mean it will be good. The same goes for skin care.

Simone refers to a good peptide as the Chanel of skin care. (Rumor has it that the kind he uses costs $5,000 a gram.) If youre using really great peptides, youre communicating between the cells, and that is the secret to boosting collagen and making the skin stronger, he explains. Its very scientific and tricky to find the right mix of proteins and amino acids for real results. Its not an easy compromise, unless you want to sell a cream for $20,000.

In addition to the release of the new collections, Simones facials will be available at New Yorks Greenwich Hotel and the Parlor this fall. At the Parlor, hell also be displaying something special: an active wall educating clients on exactly which ingredients are in the products and the benefits associated with each. When you go for a facial, it should be more than just applying a bunch of skin care, he says.

"Peptide King" Pietro Simone Is Bringing His Treatments and Products to the US - NewBeauty Magazine

Skin Stem Cells Comments Off on "Peptide King" Pietro Simone Is Bringing His Treatments and Products to the US – NewBeauty Magazine | October 29th, 2020

Every day, the average woman comes into contact with more than 500 harmful chemicals before she even leaves the house. After being absorbed into the body, these toxins can lead to health issues basically the opposite of what everyone is striving for right now.

EvolvE Cryo + Wellness founder Shannon Maddalena has made it her mission to soothe, revive, and nurture the body, from top to toe and inside and out.

"We strive to create a dialogue around health and holistic treatments to help reduce cortisol levels, improve immune function, reduce pain and inflammation, and increase energy and quality of sleep," she says. "If we are on a proactive path to become and stay healthy, we avoid working to correct sickness. If your immune system is prepared to fight off whatever the world throws at it, it is primed to do its job: keep you healthy."

Maddalena opened EvolvE nearly five years ago, and quickly became a go-to for Austinites looking for ways to clean up their bodies. Even professional athletes are on board the facility is the official wellness center of the Austin Bold soccer team.

But what really sets Evolve apart are its innovative treatments, all in a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere that send blood pressure dropping as soon as you walk in the door.

Here's a closer look at what is offered:

Infrared saunaThis holistic, comprehensive approach to detoxification can not only improve your skin's appearance, but also provide pain relief, improve circulation, support your immune system, and even reduce cellulite. Compared to a conventional sauna, infrared eliminates up to seven times more toxins by working at a cellular level, helping the heat penetrate deeper into your body and produce a more intense sweat. And with individual rooms, each session is completely private.

CryotherapyExposing your body to extreme cold induces a number of physiological changes. Initially, as the blood vessels constrict, blood moves away from the limbs and toward the vital organs. The immune system increases white blood cell count to fight viruses and bacteria, the circulatory system reacts to increased productivity, and inflammation and arthritis pain is significantly reduced.

In addition, the endocrine system jumps into action to release endorphins and norepinephrine that inflate "feel good" hormones in the blood stream. Studies have shown a reduction in cortisol and an increase in cold shock proteins, which protect the brain from both short- and long-term damage.

Body treatmentsThere's so much more than massage (though EvolvE certainly offers several relaxing options). The holistic treatments range from acupuncture, said to help with chronic pain and acute injury; to cupping, which increases circulation and calms the nervous system; to gua sha, a way to boost immunity and reduce inflammation.

There's as much science at EvolvE as there is Eastern holistic treatments, with photobiomodulation helping the body to absorb light energy to enhance tissue health at the cellular level. See? We really are just houseplants with more complicated emotions.

Skin treatmentsIt was important to Yarbrough that EvolvE only use the highest quality organic products featuring the world's most nutrient-dense, whole botanicals sourced from sustainable and ethical growers around the globe (and several local to Austin). Therefore, each signature skin treatment incorporates products that are botanically rich and nutrient dense, housing peptides, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, marine algaes, and superfoods.

The Liquid Facelift, for example, infuses over 100 vitamins, minerals, and nutrients into the skin in an 80-minute treatment incorporating bioenergy, stem cells, and nanotechnology to brighten skin, reduce pores, and reverse the signs of aging.

"In the midst of a pandemic, there is a growing appetite for holistic health and a need to nurture not only the body, but the mind and spirit," says Maddalena. "We have to be our own advocates, because no one knows how it feels to be in our body. We know when something is even slightly off, and can take appropriate action from there."

EvolvE is located in the Austin hub of SoLA, just south of downtown at 3411 S. Lamar. Call512-326-2600 or visit its website to book a service.

Impact Of Covid-19 on Cosmetic Skin Care Market 2020 Industry Challenges, Business Overview and Forecast Research Study 2026 - PRnews Leader

Skin Stem Cells Comments Off on Impact Of Covid-19 on Cosmetic Skin Care Market 2020 Industry Challenges, Business Overview and Forecast Research Study 2026 – PRnews Leader | October 29th, 2020

Biotech can often, and sometimes literally, fly over our heads. However, the pandemic has shown an increased need for investment and focus on solutions that work on human and planetary health. For IndieBio, a science and biotech accelerator run by VC firm SOSV, this unprecedented year offered high stakes and new challenges.

Today and tomorrow, the biotech accelerator is hosting its twice-annual demo day.

Starting in 2015, IndieBio has provided resources to founders solving complex challenges with biotech, from fake meat to sustainability. Over the years, the accelerator has created a portfolio of biotech companies valued at over $3.2 billion, including companies like Memphis Meats, which develops cultured meat from animal cells; NotCo, a plant-based food brand; and Catalog, which uses organisms for data storage.

As part of the accelerator, each participating company receives $250,000 in capital, numerous other services and access to lab space. In July, the founder and head of IndieBio, Arvind Gupta, left his position to pursue a role at Mayfield. While Gupta remains an adviser,Po Bronson took the role as the new managing director.

Bronson was immediately put to the test. This year, the program expanded from operating solely in San Francisco to also create a cohort based in New York. It also doubled the amount of companies it invested in, bringing this cohort to 20 companies.

As you can imagine, lockdowns ultimately forced founders to delay key lab work in the beginning of the pandemic. Eventually, founders were able to partner with universities, contract research organizations or other biotech accelerators to begin their research, says Julie Wolf, the head of investor relations at SOSV. The NYC class received a golden ticket for free lab space come November.

And these dynamics make this cohort all the more fascinating to dive into.

Watch the New York Stream here, which will happen on Tuesday October 27 from 1:00-3:00pm ET.

Watch the San Francisco stream here, which will happen on Wednesday October 28 from 10:00-12:00pm PT.

For those who cant tune in, heres a list of all the companies presenting in New York and San Francisco over the next two days.

Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a glycoprotein that spans the epithelial membrane surface and plays a role in cell self-renewal, proliferation, and transformation.1,2 Encoded by the TACSTD2 gene, Trop-2 is a 35-kDa protein composed of a large extracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain, and a short intracellular tail that is the functionally dominant part of the protein.1-4

Under physiological conditions, Trop-2 plays an essential role in embryonic development, placental tissue formation, embryo implantation, stem cell proliferation, and organ development.2 A low basal expression level of Trop-2 is found on the surface of multiple normal epithelial tissues, including skin and oral mucosa.1,3 Trop-2 can promote tumor growth and its overexpression is common in many types of malignant epithelial tumors.1,2,4

Expression of Trop-2 is regulated by several pro-oncogenic transcription factors (eg, CREB1, nuclear factor [NF]B, and HOXA10) via positive feedback relationships.2 Trop-2 expression may be upregulated because of the inactivation of several transcription factors (eg, HNF4A, TP63/TP53L, ERG, HNF1A/TCF-1, and FOXP3).1,2 Overexpression of Trop-2 accelerates the cancer cell cycle and drives cancer growth. Knocking out the TACSTD2 gene disturbs the proliferation of tumor cells, further validating the role of Trop-2 in tumorigenesis.1

Trop-2 was first elucidated as a transducer of intracellular calcium signals; however, it is now known to function in a variety of cell signaling pathways associated with tumorigenesis (Figure 1).1,2,4 Expression of Trop-2, as a calcium signal transducer, causes calcium to be mobilized from internal stores. Increased intracellular calcium levels activate MAPK, which in turn increases levels of phosphorylated ERK1 and ERK2.2,4 ERK1 and ERK2 are important mediators of cell cycle progression, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, cell invasion, and metastasis.2,4 Intracellular calcium also activates the NF-B pathway, which is involved in stimulation of cell growth, and the RAF pathway, which is essential for the upregulation of FOXM1, one of the most commonly overexpressed genes in human solid tumors.2

In addition to stimulating calcium release and MAPK signaling, Trop-2 is involved in several other pro-oncogenic signaling pathways, leading to tumor cell growth and proliferation. Activation of cyclin E and D further promotes cell cycle progression.4Alteration of the Notch, Hedgehog, and Wnt pathways may discourage appropriate stem cell proliferation and differentiation.2,4 Trop-2 signaling also appears to be dependent on -catenin.5 Direct interaction between -catenin and the intracellular domain of Trop-2, through -catenin signaling, enhances stem celllike properties (eg, self-renewal and transformation) of cancer cells.5 Attenuation of IGF-1 receptor signaling by Trop-2 encourages cancer growth and malignancy, particularly in lung cancers.2

Trop-2 is inextricably linked to cancer progression and metastasis because of its role as a key regulator of the hallmarks of cancer, including cell growth, proliferation, migration, invasion, and survival.4 A variety of human epithelial cancer cells are characterized by Trop-2 overexpression, including breast, lung, urothelial, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, prostatic, cervical, head and neck, and ovarian carcinomas.2,3 In an analysis of 702 tissue samples from patients with breast cancer, Trop-2 expression was detected via immunohistochemistry (IHC) across a wide range of breast cancer subtypes.6 Trop-2 expression is substantially higher in hormone receptorpositive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) disease and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) compared with other breast cancer subtypes, including HER2-positive disease.7

Trop-2 overexpression is also common in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).8 Using IHC on tissues collected from the tumors of 68 patients with NSCLC, Trop-2 expression was significantly higher in NSCLC tissues compared with matched healthy tissues (P < .05). Moreover, its overexpression was associated with worse tumor, node, metastasis stage (P = .012), lymph node metastasis (P = .038), and histologic grade (P = .013).9

Bladder cancer, the most common urothelial cancer, is also marked by elevated Trop-2 expression.10,11 In a study of 102 transitional cell bladder cancer samples, IHC staining for Trop-2 demonstrated increased Trop-2 expression compared with noncancerous samples, and this expression pattern was significantly associated with worsened tumor grade (P = .001), stage (P < .0 01), and bladder cancer recurrence (P = .0 3).11

Molecular markers that influence the biological progress of tumors often serve as important prognostic indicators. Overexpression of Trop-2 has been associated with more aggressive disease, poorer overall survival (OS), and worse disease-free survival in patients with solid tumors.4 A meta-analysis conducted in 2016 explored the association of Trop-2 expression and prognosis in patients with a variety of solid tumors (N = 2569). Results from the study showed that high Trop-2 expression negatively affected OS (hazard ratio, 1.896; 95% CI, 1.599-2.247; P < .001) and disease-free survival (pooled hazard ratio, 2.336; 95% CI, 1.596-3.419; P < .0 01).12

Specific to breast cancers, increased Trop-2 mRNA is a strong predictor of lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, and poor OS.13,14 Trop-2 is expressed across all breast cancer subtypes; however, overexpression appears more common in aggressive disease subtypes, including HR+/HER2- disease and TNBC.7

Trop-2 overexpression is also associated with poor outcomes in patients with urothelial cancer. In an analysis of 102 tissue samples collected from patients with noninvasive bladder cancer, Trop-2 expression was higher in samples from patients who experienced disease recurrence compared with those who did not have recurrent disease (P = .0 3). Additionally, patients with Trop-2 overexpression had significantly lower rates of recurrence-free survival (P = .0 01).11 In a separate study, high Trop-2 expression analyzed by IHC was strongly correlated with bladder cancer severity and worsened disease prognosis, with particularly strong Trop-2 expression in muscle-invasive bladder cancer tissues compared with normal bladder tissues (P < .0 01).15

Taken together, the data indicate that Trop-2 is a potentially valuable therapeutic target, given the connection between its overexpression and poor prognosis in various solid tumors.4,15 Its value as a prognostic indicator and potential target for therapeutic development is particularly evident in advanced cancers that have limited or few treatment options available, such as TNBC and metastatic urothelial cancers.

Metastatic TNBC

TNBC is an aggressive form of invasive breast cancer that accounts for 15% to 20% of all breast cancers and a disproportionate number of deaths due to breast cancer.16-18 Its prevalence is particularly high in premenopausal women and those of African American and Hispanic descents.17,19 TNBC is characterized by a lack of estrogen and progesterone receptors and a low expression of HER2; therefore, TNBC cannot be effectively treated with standard hormone-based therapies and HER2-targeted agents.16, 20Although chemotherapy has shown promising results in early TNBC, the majority of patients relapse and progress to metastatic TNBC within the first 3 to 5 years after initial treatment.18 The treatment of metastatic TNBC remains a clinical challenge, as no standard-of-care chemotherapy exists for previously treated patients.17,18 There is an urgent unmet need for effective treatment options in patients with metastatic TNBC.18

Metastatic Urothelial Cancer

In the United States, an estimated 81,400 new cases of urothelial cancer will be diagnosed in 2020, and approximately 18,000 Americans will die from the disease.21 The majority of urothelial cancers arise in the bladder, and established risk factors for bladder cancer include older age, male gender, Caucasian race, family history, and smoking.22,23 Muscle-invasive and meta-static urothelial cancers represent 25% of urothelial carcinoma cases and are characterized by substantially worse prognostic outcomes.23,24 Current chemotherapeutic options for metastatic disease offer a modest median OS of 15 months and a 5-year survival of less than 5%.23,24 Long-term survival is infrequent, and newer treatment modalities that target distinct molecular biomarkers are warranted.24,25

As Trop-2 is a clinically relevant cell surface antigen among several solid tumor types, its overexpression on cancer cells makes it an ideal candidate for targeting by specific therapies.26 One targeted approach involves the use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), a technology that has revolutionized the approach to cancer chemo-therapy over the past 2 decades.26

An ADC is designed to contain 3 components: a monoclonal antibody (mAb), a cytotoxic drug called a payload, and a linker that connects the mAb to the cytotoxin. The mAb binds specifically to its tumor-associated antigen (eg, Trop-2), thereby delivering the cytotoxin to the surface of the tumor cell. Once bound, the ADC is internalized through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Lysosomal degradation of the ADC ensues, facilitating the release of the cytotoxin and enabling it to bind to its intracellular target and induce apoptotic cell death (Figure 2).26,27 The targeted nature of ADCs allows potent therapy to be delivered to the cancer cell itself, limiting systemic exposure. The result is fewer adverse effects (AEs), a wider therapeutic window, and reduced exposure of the drug to efflux mechanisms that can increase drug resistance.26,27

Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is the only FDA-approved Trop-2targeted ADC, and several other agents are under preclinical and clinical development.28

Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is an ADC that binds to Trop-2 and delivers a potent cytotoxic drug into tumor cells.29,30 The FDA recently granted it accelerated approval for the treatment of metastatic TNBC, and it has also received fast track designation for metastatic urothelial carcinoma, NSCLC, and small cell lung cancer.28,30-32

The composition of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy has been optimized to effectively target tumors expressing Trop-2. A humanized monoclonal antibody (hRS7) binds to Trop-2 and delivers govitecan (SN-38) to the cell surface. SN-38 is the active metabolite of irinotecan and functions as a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor. A hydrolysable CL2a linker covalently binds SN-38 to h R S 7.30 When released intracellularly, SN-38 causes double-stranded DNA breaks that lead to apoptosis.29 Additionally, the hydrolysable linker allows a portion of the SN-38 payload to be released into the tumor microenvironment, leading adjacent tumor cells to be killed via a bystander effect.31,32

Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy delivers SN-38 in its most active nonglucuronidated form. Because of its moderate toxicity profile, SN-38 is conjugated to hRS7 at a high drug-to-antibody ratio of up to 8 SN-38 molecules per antibody, allowing for greater drug delivery than systemic irinotecan can achieve.29,32 Irinotecan causes grade 3 to 4 diarrhea in approximately one-third of patients, whereas the lower toxicity of SN-38 may confer an improved therapeutic index.29,30 This high level of drug delivery may overcome the ability of Trop-2expressing tumors to repair DNA breaks.30

On April 22, 2020, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy received accelerated approval from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic TNBC who have received at least 2 prior therapies for metastatic disease.28 Approval was based on findings of the phase 1/2, single-arm, multicenter IM-T-IMMU-132-01 trial (NCT01631552), in which sacituzumab govitecan-hziy produced durable responses in a subset of patients with heavily pretreated metastatic TNBC.31,33

The IM-T-IMMU-132-01 trial enrolled 108 patients with metastatic TNBC who had received at least 2 prior treatments for metastatic disease. In the study population, the median number of prior systemic therapies in the metastatic setting was 3, and the majority of patients received prior taxanes (98%) and anthracyclines (86%) in the neoadjuvant or metastatic setting. The median age of study patients was 55 years (range 31-80); 99% were female, and 76% were Caucasian.31Brain metastases were present in 23% of patients, and visceral metastases were present in 77% of patients; these included metastases in the lung/pleura (57%), the liver (42%), and other visceral organs (adrenal glands, pancreas, and kidney; 7%).31

Patients received sacituzumab govitecan-hziy 10 mg/kg administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary efficacy end point was objective response rate (ORR) assessed according to RECIST 1.1 tumor criteria. The secondary efficacy end points included time to response, duration of response, clinical benefit rate (defined as a complete or partial response or stable disease for 6 months), progression-free survival (PFS), and OS.31

After a median follow-up duration of 9.7 months, an objective response occurred in 36 of 108 patients (ORR, 33.3%; 95% CI, 24.6%-43.1%), including a complete response in 3 patients.31 The median time to response was 2 months (range 1.6-13.5). The median response duration was 7.7 months (95% CI, 4.9-10.8), with 55.6% of patients responding at 6 months and 16.7% of patients still responding at 12 months.31,34 An independent central review of the data found a similar ORR and median response duration (34.3% and 9.1 months, respectively).31 The clinical benefit rate, including stable disease for at least 6 months, was 45.4%. Median PFS was 5.5 months; the estimated probability of PFS at 6 and 12 months was 41.9% and 15.1%, respectively. Median OS was 13 months (95% CI, 11.2-13.7); the estimated probability of survival at 6 and 12 months was 78.5% and 51.3%, respectively.31

The most common AEs of any grade were nausea (67%), neutropenia (64%), diarrhea (62%, predominantly grade 1), and fatigue (55%). Of grade 3 or 4 AEs, the most common were neutropenia, decreased white cell count, and anemia (occurring in 42%, 11%, and 11% of patients, respectively).31 Serious AEs occurred in 32% of patients, with the most common being febrile neutropenia (7%), vomiting (6%), nausea (4%), diarrhea (3%), and dyspnea (3%). Occurrence of AEs led to treatment interruption in 44% of patients, dose reductions in 34%, and discontinuation of treatment in 3%.31,34

IM-T-IMMU-132-01 Trial HR+/HER2- Subpopulation Analysis

Treatment with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy showed encouraging results in a prespecified subpopulation of patients with histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer from the IM-T-IMMU-132-01 trial.32

A total of 54 patients with histologically confirmed HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer were enrolled. Eligible patients had received at least 1 line of hormone-based therapy and at least 1 prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. The median age of enrollees was 54 years (range, 33-79); aside from required prior hormone-based therapy, previous chemotherapies included a taxane (85%), an anthracycline (67%), capecitabine (65%), a CDK4/6 inhibitor (61%), an mTOR inhibitor (44%), and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (1.9%). After a washout period of at least 2 weeks since prior treatment, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy was dosed at 10 mg/kg via intravenous infusion on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles.32

The primary efficacy end point was ORR. Of the 54 patients enrolled, 17 patients achieved partial responses during a median follow-up duration of 11.5 months (ORR, 31.5%; 95% CI, 19.5%-45.6%). In the key secondary outcomes, patients experienced a median PFS of 5.5 months (95% CI, 3.6-7.6) and a median OS of 12.0 months (95% CI, 9.0-18.2). The median time to response was 2.1 months (95% CI, 1.4-7.8), and median duration of response was 8.7 months (95% CI, 3.7-12.7). Of the 17 responders, 4 achieved a response lasting more than 12 months (24%). The clinical benefit rate was 44.4% (95% CI, 30.9%-58.6%), with 7 patients showing stable disease for at least 6 months.32

Safety analyses showed a manageable AE profile for sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. There were no reports of cardiac toxicity or severe peripheral neuropathy. The most common grade 3 or higher treatment-related AE was neutropenia, which occurred in 50% of patients. The incidence of diarrhea was 46% and was mild overall. Grade 3 diarrhea was reported in 4 patients, with no reports of grade 4.32 Serious AEs occurred in 2 patients, who experienced febrile neutropenia and 1 case each of neutropenia, viral pneumonia, sepsis, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and acute respiratory failure.32

ESMO 2020 Data: ASCENTTrial in Metastatic TNBC (NCT02574455)

Final results of the international, multicenter, open-label ASCENT trial (NCT02574455) were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2020. ASCENT was the first phase 3 study of an ADC to show improvement in PFS and OS compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic TNBC.35,36

A total of 529 patients with metastatic TNBC were randomized 1:1 to receive either sacituzumab govitecan-hziy or physicians choice of single-agent chemotherapy (capecitabine, eribulin, vinorelbine, or gemcitabine). The dose of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy was 10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles. All patients had histologically or cytologically confirmed TNBC refractory to or relapsed after at least 2 prior chemotherapies including a taxane. The median age of the study population was 54 years, and the median number of prior chemotherapies received was 4.

In the primary end point, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy significantly improved median PFS (hazard ratio, 0.41; P< .0001) compared with chemotherapy. The sacituzumab govitecan-hziy treatment group achieved a median PFS of 5.6 months compared with 1.7 months in the chemotherapy treatment group. Compared with chemotherapy, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy treatment also significantly improved key secondary end points of OS (12.1 vs 6.7 months; hazard ratio, 0.48; P < .0001) and ORR (35% vs 5%; P < .0001).35,36

The most common treatment-related grade 3 or higher AEs with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy compared with chemotherapy were neutropenia (51% vs 33%, respectively), diarrhea (10.5% vs < 1.0%), anemia (8% vs 5%), and febrile neutropenia (6% vs 2%). No treatment-related deaths were reported, and no cases of neuropathy or interstitial lung disease greater than grade 3 occurred with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.35

ESMO 2020 Data: Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy in Combination with Talazoparib for Patients with Metastatic TNBC (NCT04039230)

At the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020, investigators presented the trial design, objectives, and status of a phase 1/2, open-label study that will investigate the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in combination with the PARP inhibitor talazoparib for patients with metastatic TNBC.37 PARP is involved in repairing damaged DNA and is required for clearance of Trop-2 cleavage complexes; thus, PARP inhibitors may be complementary therapeutic partners with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy.37, 38

This study will include a dose escalation in phase 1b followed by a dose expansion in phase 2. Patients will receive sacituzumab govitecan-hziy on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles and talazoparib daily on days 15 to 21 of each cycle.38 The primary objective of phase 1b is to assess the dose-limiting toxicity rate and maximum tolerated dose of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy when given in combination with talazoparib. From these data, investigators will determine the recommended phase 2 dose. During phase 2, investigators will assess the ORR, PFS, OS, and clinical benefit rate. As of August 30, 2020, the trial was undergoing active recruitment, and a total of 20 patients were enrolled.37, 38

ESMO 2020 Data: Sacituzumab Govitecan-hziy for Breast Cancer Brain Metastases (NCT03995706)

SN-38, the cytotoxic payload delivered by sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, crosses the blood-brain barrier and is often included in central nervous system (CNS) cancer regimens.39 Investigators hypothesized that sacituzumab govitecan-hziy would yield therapeutically relevant SN-38 concentrations within the CNS of patients under-going craniotomy for breast cancer brain metastases or recurrent glioblastoma.39,40

In this single-center, nonrandomized, phase 0 study (NCT03995706), patients receive a single 10-mg/kg intravenous dose of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy the day prior to craniotomy and then resume therapy (on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles) after recovery. To date, 14 patients have been treated. For patients with recurrent glioblastoma (n = 7), the mean SN-38 concentration was 420 nM; for patients with breast cancer brain metastases (n = 7), the mean SN-38 concentration was 626 nM. Among those patients with residual measurable disease, 2 partial intracranial responses have been observed in each group after 12 weeks of treatment (ORR, 28% and 50% for glioblastoma and breast cancer brain metastases, respectively). As of September 2020, recruitment for this trial was ongoing.39,40

The metastatic urothelial cancer cohort of the IM-T-IMMU-132-01 trial reported encouraging activity with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy monotherapy (ORR, 31%; median PFS, 7.3 months; and median OS, 18.9 months).41Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy has FDA fast track desig-nation for metastatic urothelial cancer and is currently under further investigation in the phase 2 TROPHY U-01 trial (NCT03547973) and the upcoming phase 3 TROPiCS-04 trial (NCT04527991).42-45

Final data for cohort 1 and the trial design for cohort 3 were presented at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020 for the pivotal phase 2, open-label, multicohort TROPHY U-01trial. The TROPHY U-01trial is investigating the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic urothelial cancer across several cohorts. The study population across the TROPHY U-01 trial includes patients with disease progression despite treatment with platinum (PLT)-based chemotherapy, checkpoint inhibitors, or both. For all cohorts, the primary efficacy end point is ORR, and key secondary end points include PFS, OS, duration of response, and safety analyses.44,45

Cohort 1

Cohort 1 included a total of 113 patients who were treated with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. The study population included patients who experienced disease progression after both PLT-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy.44 Overall, patients in cohort 1 were previously treated with a median of 3 therapies and were a median of 66 years of age. In the results presented at ESMO 2020, a total of 31 patients had achieved an objective response (ORR, 27%; 95% CI, 19%-37%), of which 6 were complete responses and 25 were partial responses. The median duration of response was 5.9 months (95% CI, 4.7-8.6); median PFS and OS were 5.4 months (95% CI, 3.5-6.9) and 10.5 months (95% CI, 8.2-12.3), respectively. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy demonstrated manageable toxicity. Key grade 3 or higher AEs were neutropenia (35%), anemia (14%), febrile neutropenia (10%), and diarrhea (10%).44

Cohort 3

As of March 2020, cohort 3 had started enrollment and is ongoing. The study plans to enroll a total of 61 patients with metastatic urothelial cancer who are nave to checkpoint inhibitor agents and have experienced disease progression or recurrence after PLT-based chemotherapy.45 As checkpoint inhibitors are the stan-dard-of-care therapy for patients who have failed on PLT-based chemotherapy, this study will investigate combination therapy with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. Exclusion criteria include active autoimmune disease or a history of interstitial lung disease, given the coadministration of pembrolizumab. A 10-patient lead-in cohort will determine standard the recommended phase 2 dose of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (given on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles), to be given along with pembrolizumab 200 mg on day 1 of each cycle. The primary end point of ORR and secondary end points of PFS, OS, clinical benefit rate, duration of response, and safety will be assessed.45

The phase 3, global, open-label TROPiCS-04trial aims to enroll 482 patients to investigate the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy in patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable urothelial cancer who have progressed despite prior therapy with PLT-based chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor. Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy will be compared with physicians choice of chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunine). The primary outcome measure will be OS; secondary outcomes will include PFS, ORR, safety, and quality of life. As of August 2020, the trial was not yet recruiting patients.43

Evaluation of novel and existing ADCs has revealed that success is not based on the use of any one particular cytotoxic compound or conjugate platform. Factors such as the consistency and level of target-antigen expression, tumor progression, and specific properties of the cancer and stage of disease also play important roles.46 Several additional Trop-2targeted ADCs are currently being investigated in solid tumors (Table).33,36,37,40,42,43,47-51

DS-1062a is a Trop-2directed ADC that contains the cytotoxic compound DXd, a derivative of exatecan that acts as a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor.52 It is currently being investigated for the treatment of advanced NSCLC in an ongoing phase 1, multicenter, open-label study (NC T 03 401385).48

The study involves a dose-escalation phase and a dose-expansion phase. Dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and AEs will be explored in both phases.47 Eligible patients have experienced disease progression or recurrence despite previous treatments, have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria, and are able to provide a sufficient tumor tissue sample for Trop-2 measurement. Patients with multiple primary malignancies or untreated brain metastases are ineligible for the study.48

As of November 2018, a total of 22 patients had been treated with 1 of 3 escalating doses of DS-1062a. Nearly 82% of patients experienced at least 1 treatment-emergent AE, with fatigue being the most common complaint. Fatigue was the only reported grade 3 or higher AE and was reported by 1 patient. Of 18 tumor-evaluable patients, 1 showed a partial response and 8 showed stable disease. Maximum-tolerated dose has not been achieved, and investigators will continue to monitor for safety and disease progression.47, 48

RN927C

RN927C, also known as PF-06664178, is an ADC composed of a Trop-2directed antibody conjugated with the cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor PF-06380101. Release of PF-06380101 leads to mitotic arrest, apoptosis, and cell death.3 Preclinical studies demonstrated the ability of RN927C to induce cell death among various tumor cell lines, including those from the skin, lung, head and neck, breast, ovary, and colon.3

RN927C was investigated in a phase 1, open-label, nonrandomized dose-escalation study (NCT02122146)of patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that were unresponsive to current therapies or for whom no standard therapy was available. The primary objective of the study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary outcomes included safety and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity. A total of 31 patients were enrolled and received treatment with escalating doses of RN927C. Stable disease was noted in 11 patients (39%), but no partial or complete responses were seen. Doses of 3.6 mg/kg, 4.2 mg/kg, and 4.8 mg/kg were considered intolerable, primarily because of skin reactions and development of neutropenia. The next-lower dose of 2.4 mg/kg was well tolerated, but the study was terminated early because of minimal anti-tumor activity and excessive toxicities.50

BAT8003

BAT8003 is an ADC composed of a Trop-2directed antibody conjugated to a potent cytotoxic maytansine derivative. The ADC has been optimized to facilitate site-specific conjugation, which allows for a more controllable drug-antibody ratio. In addition, a fucosylation of the Fc region of the antibody enhances its antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity effect. In preclinical xenograft and primate models, BAT8003 demonstrated strong inhibition of tumor growth at doses of 5 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, with a highest nonseverely toxic dose of 20 mg/kg given once every 3 weeks.51, 53

Given the promising preclinical data, a phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT03884517) is currently investigating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BAT8003 in patients with advanced epithelial cancer who are either ineligible for standard therapy or have disease refractory to standard therapy.Eligible patients will receive escalating doses of BAT8003 (0.2-10.0 mg/kg) on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study will be divided into 3 periods: (1) the first 21-day cycle, which will examine the safety of a single BAT8003 administration, observe for dose-limiting toxicities, and establish preliminary pharmacokinetic parameters; (2) cycles 2 through 8, which will examine safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of BAT8003; and (3) an expansion period, which could include an additional 10 to 30 cases to further assess safety and efficacy once a safe and effective dose has been established. As of the last update on March 21, 2019, the trial was actively recruiting patients.51

Trop-2 has established itself as a clinically meaningful biomarker among several types of solid malignancies. Its ability to promote self-renewal, proliferation, and cell invasion makes it an ideal candidate for targeted anti-tumor therapies, including ADCs.

Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy is the first Trop-2directed ADC to receive FDA approval for the treatment of metastatic TNBC. In the pivotal IM-T-IMMU-132-01 trial, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy showed encouraging results in patients with multiple difficult-to-treat solid tumor types, including TNBC, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, and metastatic urothelial cancer.31,32,41 Sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and other Trop-2directed ADCs represent a novel strategy to improve outcomes among these populations of patients with few therapeutic options. Data from additional trials of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy were presented at the ESMO Virtual Congress 2020. In the ASCENT trial, sacituzumab govitecan improved response rates and survival outcomes in patients with metastatic TNBC compared with standard-of-care therapy.35 Data from a cohort of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer in the TROPHY U-01 trial indicated positive survival impacts with manageable toxicity.44 Additional trials of sacituzumab-govitecan-hziy (as monotherapy or in combination with PARP inhibitors or checkpoint inhibitors) are under way in patients with metastatic TNBC, breast cancer brain metastases, and metastatic or locally advanced urothelial cancer.37,40,43,45 Other Trop-2directed ADCs are under investigation in NSCLC and advanced epithelial cancers.47, 51
