TheU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Magenta Therapeuticscell therapy MGTA-456 the Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for treating inherited metabolic disorders, including cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy.

The RMAT designation is a program established to help expedite the development and approval of promising therapies. It isgiven to products that have preliminary clinical evidence of being able to treat, modify, or cure a serious or fatal disease, and potentially address unmet medical needs for that disease.

This RMAT designation was based on the encouraging clinical data we have presented thus far, and it is an important milestone that recognizes the transformative, life-saving potential of MGTA-456 for children suffering from inherited metabolic disorders, John Davis, MD, chief medical officer at Magenta Therapeutics, said in press release.

MGTA-456 is a stem cell-based therapy specifically,allogenic hematopoietic stem cell therapy (HSCT) designed to help stop the progression of inherited metabolic disorders. This is possible through the delivery of a high-dose of stem cells to help regenerate the patients immune system. The procedure requires patients to receive a transplant of healthy blood-forming cells, orhematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), from a genetically identical donor (allogenic), to replace their own diseased cells.

MGTA-456 is being developed as a treatment for multiple diseases.

The therapy is currently being evaluated by Magenta in a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT03406962) in patients with various genetic metabolic disorders, including cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD), Hurler syndrome, metachromatic leukodystrophy, or globoid cell leukodystrophy. All participants are older than 6 months.

This Phase 2 clinical trial is being conducted at four U.S. medical centers: Cincinnati Childrens Hospital, Duke University, Emory University, and the University of Minnesota.

Previous results from the first five patients two of them with cALD who were followed for six months, showed a rapid and consistent benefit withMGTA-456 treatment that was not seen with other investigational therapies.

Patients with cALD, in particular, were found to have resolution of brain inflammation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, as early as 28 days after the treatment.Additionally, patients had stable neurological function scores at six months post-treatment, suggesting that the progression of the disease was halted.The Loes score, which quantifies the severity of brain abnormalities and atrophy, also was stable at six months.

All five patients analyzed achieved the primary goal of neutrophil engraftment, in which levels of neutrophils (a type of immune cell) have reached an absolute count of 500 or more neutrophils per cubic millimeter of blood for three consecutive days. Of note, a robust neutrophil engraftment means that the transplant of the stem cells was succeeded.

Following the success of this trial, Magenta expects to present further data before the end of 2019.

We look forward to collaborating closely with the FDA as we seek to rapidly advance MGTA-456 through the ongoing Phase 2 study, and into potential pivotal studies in 2020, Davis said.

MGTA-456 Earns Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy Designation - Adrenoleukodystrophy News

Patients who are beyond treatment under the standards of conventional medicine often seek help from alternative medical treatments; however, these methods pose not only medical risks for patients, but also legal risks for doctors.

Facts

A surgeon with qualifications in vascular, heart and thorax surgery treated seriously ill patients using an innovative method. The patients suffered from morbus Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, various forms of myatrophy and paralysis, traumatic spinal cord injuries, macular degenerations or psychiatric impairments such as autism. All of the patients were beyond treatment under the standards of conventional medicine. The surgeon treated them with stem cell therapy.

First-instance and appeal decisions

In April 2014 the Viennese Administrative Authority fined the surgeon under Section 49(1) of the Act on the Medical Profession for failing to observe patient welfare namely, for not evaluating the side effects and counterindications of using stem cell therapy to treat the abovementioned conditions.

In July 2015 the Viennese Administrative Tribunal(1) partly confirmed this decision. The tribunal ruled that potential health risks cannot be withheld from patients.

Supreme Administrative Court decision

On appeal, the Supreme Administrative Court(2) overruled the Viennese Administrative Tribunal's decision. The court held that the administrative tribunal had accused the surgeon of regularly using autologous stem cell therapy as a new treatment, even though clinical studies had yet to determine its benefits and risks.

According to the court, stem cells fall within the definition of medicinal products under Section 1 of the Medicinal Products Act.(3) The court could therefore revert to the doctrine and precedents on the off-label use of medicinal products. In its view, the tribunal had not shown that the treatment was clearly prohibited. Further, without a prohibition on the off-label use of medicinal products with marketing authorisation, such a prohibition cannot be based on the Medicinal Products Act. Therefore, an infringement of "compliance with existing rules according to sec 49 (1) Act on the Medical Profession" was not obvious.

The use of medicinal products or treatments that have not been clinically evaluated in terms of benefit-risk ratio for certain (new) indications is referred to as 'compassionate use'. The Declaration of Helsinki on ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects states as follows:

Unproven interventions in clinical practice

37. In the treatment of an individual patient, where proven interventions do not exist or other known interventions have been ineffective, the physician, after seeking expert advice, with informed consent from the patient or a legally authorised representative, may use an unproven intervention if in the physician's judgement it offers hope of saving life, re-establishing health or alleviating suffering. This intervention should subsequently be made the object of research, designed to evaluate its safety and efficacy. In all cases, new information must be recorded and, where appropriate, made publicly available.

According to legal literature, compassionate use is a deviation from medical standards in special treatment situations, either because the standard is unhelpful or no standard for the special treatment is available. Unlike clinical studies, it refers to individual cases and not to a clinical sample.

Under Section 49(1) of the Medical Profession Act physicians must observe the rules of medical science; however, these rules are only guidelines with respect to patient welfare insofar as it is possible to go beyond conventional medicine. Therefore, Section 49(1) does not prohibit compassionate use for patients who are beyond therapy under conventional medicine if they are comprehensively informed and the compassionate use makes objective sense.(4)

There is no legal definition of 'compassionate use' and no Supreme Court precedents in this regard. On 13 February 1956 the German Federal Court ruled(5) that a method of treatment is a clinical study and not a compassionate use if the method is applied not primarily in the interests of treating a patient, but in the interest of scientific research. A new method of treatment may be applied if the responsible medical evaluation and comparison of the expected benefits and risks of the new method with the standard treatment under consideration justify its application.(6)

New methods may be used only on patients who are fully informed that said methods imply unknown risks. Further, patients must be able to evaluate and consent to (or not) said risks.(7)

In the case at hand, all of the surgeon's patients were beyond treatment such that, according to the medical standard, no successful cure could be expected at the time of the treatment.

The Viennese Administrative Tribunal failed to establish that the applied treatment had posed a danger to the patients; rather, it stated only that health risks cannot be excluded without clinical studies. The tribunal reproached the applicant for integrating the method of treatment into regular clinical operations. Compassionate use that is legitimate in individual cases becomes illegitimate if it is adopted in regular clinical operations, as it becomes a regular treatment with an unverified method. This further implies that the person administering the treatment has applied it in multiple cases. It is unclear whether the application of a new therapy on a larger number of patients excludes the qualification of the treatment as compassionate use.

Insofar as the Viennese Administrative Tribunal questioned the surgeon's claim to have evaluated the risks of stem cell therapy in each case, the tribunal lacked evidence to evaluate the types of risk that would prohibit compassionate use. Further, the tribunal failed to establish the circumstances and specific patient information that would prohibit compassionate use. Therefore, the Supreme Administrative Court set aside the Viennese Administrative Tribunal's decision.

Comment

The Supreme Administrative Court's decision appears to favour a liberal approach to new therapies and compassionate use and enhances the possibilities for developing new therapies and alternative medicines in future. However, patient welfare remains paramount for qualifying a new method as compassionate use.

Alternative medical treatments and compassionate use - Lexology

Theyve been called the special forces of the immune system: invariant natural killer T cells. Although there are relatively few of them in the body, they are more powerful than many other immune cells.

In experiments with mice, UCLA researchers have shown they can harness the power of iNKT cells to attack tumor cells and treat cancer. The new method, described in the journal Cell Stem Cell, suppressed the growth of multiple types of human tumors that had been transplanted into the animals.

Whats really exciting is that we can give this treatment just once and it increases the number of iNKT cells to levels that can fight cancer for the lifetime of the animal, said Lili Yang, a member of theEli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA and the studys senior author.

Scientists have hypothesized that iNKT cells could be a useful weapon against cancer because it has been shown that they are capable of targeting many types of cancer at once a difference from most immune cells, which recognize and attack only one particular type of cancer cell at a time. But most people have very low quantities of iNKT cells; less than 0.1% of blood cells are iNKT cells in most cases.

Lili Yang, PhD. Credit: UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center

Still, Yang and her colleagues knew that previous clinical studies have shown that cancer patients with naturally higher levels of iNKT cells generally live longer than those with lower levels of cells.

They are very powerful cells but theyre naturally present in such small numbers in the human blood that they usually cant make a therapeutic difference, said Yang, who also is a UCLA assistant professor ofmicrobiology, immunology and molecular genetics and a member of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The researchers goal was to create a therapy that would permanently boost the bodys ability to naturally produce more iNKT cells. They started with hematopoietic stem cells cells found in the bone marrow that can duplicate themselves and can become all types of blood and immune cells, including iNKT cells. The researchers genetically engineered the stem cells so that they were programmed to develop into iNKT cells.

They tested the resulting cells, called hematopoietic stem cell-engineered invariant natural killer T cells, or HSC-iNKT cells, on mice with both human bone marrow and human cancers either multiple myeloma (a blood cancer) or melanoma (a solid tumor cancer) and studied what happened to the mices immune systems, the cancers and the HSC-iNKT cells after they had integrated into the bone marrow.

They found that the stem cells differentiated normally into iNKT cells and continued to produce iNKT cells for the rest of the animals lives, which was generally about a year.

One advantage of this approach is that its a one-time cell therapy that can provide patients with a lifelong supply of iNKT cells, Yang said.

While mice without the engineered stem cell transplants had nearly undetectable levels of iNKT cells, in those that received engineered stem cell transplants, iNKT cells made up as much as 60% of the immune systems total T cell count. Plus, researchers found they could control those numbers by how they engineered the original hematopoietic stem cells.

Finally, the team found that in both multiple myeloma and melanoma, HSC-iNKT cells effectively suppressed tumor growth.

The studys co-first authors are Yanni Zhu, a UCLA project scientist, and Drake Smith, a UCLA doctoral student.

More work is needed to determine how HSC-iNKT cells might be useful for treating cancer in humans and whether increasing the number of HSC-iNKT cells could cause long-term side effects. But Yang said hematopoetic stem cells collected either from a person with cancer or a compatible donor could be used to engineer HSC-iNKT cells in the lab. The procedure for transplanting stem cells into patients bone marrow is already well-established as a treatment for many blood cancers.

Funding for the study was provided by the National Institutes of Health, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Concern Foundation, the STOP CANCER Foundation, aUCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center Rose Hills Foundation Innovator Grant, and the centers training program, supported by the Sherry, Dave and Sheila Gold Foundation.

Immunity Against Cancer? Engineered Killer T Cells May Be the Key. - SciTechDaily

For Miami Valley Today

TROY Bill Willoughby has always been an optimist. This positive approach to life would serve him well after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015.

I was going to a doctor and at one point he said with my condition, the best he could do was try to keep me in remission, explained Bill, a Troy resident. So, he referred me to Dr. Faber at OHC for a stem cell transplant. Being an optimist, I agreed and said, Im all in. Lets get it done.

Bill went to OHC for his chemotherapy followed by the stem cell transplant for his lymphoma. OHCs stem cell transplant experts have performed more than 2300 transplants since 1989.

Stem cell transplant is a life-saving option for many people with blood cancers, explained Edward Faber, Jr., MD, MS, an OHC medical oncologist, hematologist and transplant specialist. But for Bill, months later he relapsed and the cancer was in his lungs, liver and in his bones. Weve had excellent success with stem cell transplants. Unfortunately, there are some patients for whom it just doesnt work. Our entire team was sad to learn that Bill was one of those patients.

With the cancer now in his bones, Bill was experiencing more pain than before not good for someone who still hasnt retired from the building and rental property business. So, when Dr. Faber suggested another treatment option, Bill was again optimistic.

Bill was an ideal candidate for a relatively new treatment called chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy, or CAR-T, said Dr. Faber. This is a ground-breaking treatment that has demonstrated incredible outcomes in some patients for whom all hope was lost. OHC has been using CAR-T for almost a year now and were seeing positive results. Were hopeful this will be the case for Mr. Willoughby.

CAR-T is still relatively new for treating cancers. In fact, OHC is the only adult cancer practice in the region to offer CAR-T to adults with blood cancers. With CAR-T, doctors remove immune system cells from a patient, modify them in a lab so they will recognize and kill cancer cells, then infuse them back into the patient through an IV. The cells that are injected back into the patient stay in the body, becoming what some researchers refer to as living drugs in that they are ready to attack if that same cancer returns.

I had never heard of CAR-T when Dr. Faber told me about it, Bill said. He explained that it helps your immune system cells fight the cancer. So, I looked it up, especially because I was running out of options, and it seemed like a wonderful theory. They said Im the fourth OHC patient to get this treatment.

After completing his research and weighing his options, once again, Bills response was, Im all in. Lets get this done. Bill received his CAR-T treatment in July and today hes feeling good.

I had my last scan a few weeks ago and they said the cancer in my lungs is gone, the cancer in my liver has decreased, and I still have some spots in my bones but they too have decreased, Bill said. Ive started back to work. Ive been passionate about building and construction since I was 15 years old. Now Im 70 and Im still into it, although I mostly subcontract the work. But I have rental properties and still do that maintenance work.

CAR-T has demonstrated success like no other treatment before. It received breakthrough therapy designation from the Food and Drug Administration, which means the process for approval is moved along more quickly after initial clinical trials show strong results. The procedure is currently performed in a designated center, originally as a hospital inpatient procedure that is now being administered in a hospital outpatient department.

OHC is launching new clinical trials to determine if it can be given in a doctors office treatment suite setting, like OHC, said Dr. Faber. And soon, we hope to introduce clinical trials that will look to expand CAR-T to treat other cancers, like solid tumors.

We still have a way to go with CAR-T and other immunotherapies, but if its successful, it will forever change the way the world treats cancer. Its a whole new frontier for medicine, Dr. Faber added.

Ive always been an optimist and a Christian, and I look at this as a great thing thats happened to me, Bill added. So does my family. Ive already recommended it to a couple people I know whove also run out of options. I tell them to call Dr. Faber and see if he can get it for them. When your chances become limited and then you learn about this, you start to see a possible light at the end of the tunnel.

OHC is the only adult cancer group in the region to offer this advanced treatment to adults. For more information including an educational video, visit https://www.ohcare.com/service/car-t-cell-therapy/ or call (888) 649-4800.

Troy resident 'gets it done' with ground-breaking treatment - Troy Daily News

Rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy has been demonstrated to induce profound healing activity, halt arthritic conditions, and in many cases, reverse and regenerate joint tissue. Today, bone marrow transplant, adipose or fat-derived stem cells, and allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (human umbilical cord tissue) are used for rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy. As the rheumatoid arthritis worsens, the body initiates autoimmune response and attacks the cells. Rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy is growing in popularity across hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty clinics, as it increases the healing of joints and further treats the entire system that causes the joint pain and inflammation.

The stem cells with ability to stimulate regeneration, immune modulating capacity, and excellent anti-inflammatory activity can be screened and selected. In addition, abundant amount of mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from umbilical cord tissue. These are some of the key factors favoring the development of rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy market. Government are heavily investing in healthcare sectors which is turn is expected to fuel growth of the rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy market. Growing research to find effective treatment for various autoimmune disorders will possibly create potential growth prospects of rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy market.

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the many types of arthritis and is an autoimmune disorder. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks different parts of joints by generating cellular responses and antibodies to various tissues, including collagen, which leads to joint deterioration along with complications such as heart damage and pulmonary fibrosis. Rheumatoid arthritis affects 1% of the general population worldwide. Unfortunately, the available treatments cause adverse effects as they inhibit responses of the immune system in non-specific ways. Rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy is an alternative option as the therapy works to induce healing while regenerating healthy tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy also has a modulating effect on the immune system, which helps in fighting diseases while turning off some of the pathological responses. Today, new treatments and advances in rheumatoid arthritis research are being studied. Rheumatoid arthritis stem cell therapy is being studied for its efficacy in improving complications in patients through the use of their own stem cells. These stem cell therapies may help patients who do not respond to typical drug treatment and want to reduce their reliance on medications or who are looking to try stem cell therapy before starting a drug treatment.

Chug some fine brews as you soak up the science behind gene editingStem cells, which have the unique ability to morph into different types of cells, fascinate Dr Deepa Subramanyam, a researcher at the National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) in the city. She has been studying stem cells for well over a decade, and has given talks on the subject. I have always been fascinated by how a handful of embryonic stem cells can create a perfectly patterned organism, says Subramanyam.

This weekend, Subramanyam has been invited as Science on Taps guest speaker. The scientists presentation is titled Godplayer stem cells, gene editing and playing god! Science on Tap was started as a talk series to connect the public with some of the countrys finest scientists in an informal setting. Anybody is welcome to attend the event regardless of their age and background. I avoid using scientific jargon to make my presentation accessible to the general public, she adds.

Subramanyam says that research on stem cells began about 30 years ago. She is certain that stem-cell therapy can treat most human ailments, such as diabetes and heart disease, in the near future. According to Subramanyam, trials are underway to determine the effectiveness of stem-cell therapy. She, however, cautions: I would say that one has to be careful about stem-cell therapy at the moment you should not undertake it without proper approval.

Subramanyam enjoys interacting with the public. In the past, she has addressed an audience comprising children, as part of an outreach programme. The talk was on stem cells. The scientist is always surprised by the intelligent questions that children ask her. Youngsters can come up with some of the most difficult questions, as they have access to a lot of information, says Subramanyam, who confesses that at times she has wondered how she should proceed to answer them.

Global Animal Stem Cell Therapy Market Regulations and Competitive Landscape Outlook, 2019 to 2026 - NY Tribunal 24

Heart cells derived from patients stem cells and grown in a lab dish can reveal important clues about the development of heart ailments associated with Fabry disease.

The study, A Human Stem Cell Model of Fabry Disease Implicates LIMP-2 Accumulation in Cardiomyocyte Pathology, was published in Stem Cell Reports.

Fabry is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene. Located on the X chromosome, the gene provides instructions for the production of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-GAL A).

These mutations typically affect the activity of alpha-GAL A, leading to the accumulation of a type of fat called globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in different tissues and organs, including the heart, kidneys and nervous system, gradually compromising their normal function.

For this reason, most Fabry patients develop heart disease over the course of their lives, which may progress to heart failure, the most common cause of death among people living with the disorder.

A major obstacle for advancing therapy for patients with [Fabry disease] is the knowledge gap between the direct molecular consequences of alpha-GAL A deficiency in CMs [cardiomyocytes, or heart cells] and the cascade of events driving disease in the heart; the inaccessibility of CMs from patients precludes adequate investigation of these events, especially at early stages, the investigators wrote.

In a previous study, researchers describe the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from Fabry patients carrying nonsense mutations in the GLA gene. This gave them the possibility, for the first time, to study the impact of alpha-GAL A deficiency on heart cells derived from patients iPSCs grown in a lab dish.

(iPSCs are fully matured cells that are reprogrammed back to a stem cell state, where they are able to grow into any type of cell. A nonsense mutation is a mutation in which the alteration of a single nucleotide (the building blocks of DNA) makes proteins shorter.)

Investigators from Sanofi, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Manchester, further investigated the properties of heart cells derived from patients iPSCs. Their aim was to discover more clues about the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of heart disease linked to Fabry.

Functional and structural characterization experiments revealed that heart cells from Fabry patients had higher levels of GL-3, and showed a series of abnormalities in the way they responded to electrical stimuli and in how they regulated their calcium usage, compared to heart cells from healthy people serving as controls. Calcium is essential to coordinate the hearts function by contributing to the electrical signals involved in heart muscle contraction.

When researchers analyzed the protein contents of heart cells grown in a lab dish, they found these cells produced more than 5,500 different proteins. This analysis also showed that compared to controls, heart cells from Fabry patients produced large amounts of lysosomal membrane protein 2 (LIMP-2) and heat shock-related 70 kDa protein 2 (HSPA2/HSP70-2).

(LIMP-2 is a protein normally found on the membrane of lysosomes small structures within cells that accumulate, digest, and recycle materials that regulates their transport within cells; HSPA2/HSP70-2 is a protein involved in cellular quality control, participating in the folding of other proteins and targeting abnormal proteins for degradation.)

Heart cells from Fabry patients released high amounts of cathepsin F, a protein that helps breakdown materials being transported inside lysosomes, as well as HSPA2/HSP70-2. As expected, when researchers corrected the genetic mutation associated with Fabry in heart cells derived from patients iPSCs, all these defects were reversed.

To confirm the validity of these proteins as Fabry biomarkers, researchers then forced healthy heart cells to produce high amounts of LIMP-2. They discovered this also triggered the release of large amounts of cathepsin F and HSPA2/HSP70-2, resulting in a massive accumulation of vacuoles (enclosed compartments filled with water and other substances) inside cells.

In summary, our study has shown the power of the iPSC model to reveal early functional changes and the development of a distinctive biomarker expression profile in [Fabry disease] CMs. These biomarkers may be of utility in drug screening and in elucidating the earliest pathological events and cascades in [Fabry disease] cells. Quantification in patient plasma and urine samples will be an important next step toward validating their relevance in patients, the researchers wrote.

A better understanding of these mechanisms will no doubt accelerate the development of more effective and increasingly personalized therapies for patients, they added.

Be aware that representatives at certain stem cell clinics/companies will claim your stem cells are too old to provide therapeutic benefit when utilized as a treatment. This is simply not true since a vast number of clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of stem cells derived from individuals of advanced age. This therapeutic effect has been reliably repeated and well documented in medical literature.

However, many representatives will argue that placental/amniotic/umbilical cord cells or cell products are a more appropriate therapy for individuals of a certain age. Unfortunately, this is a marketing ploy with the intent of selling a treatment or add-on treatment of little value. Placental/amniotic cell treatments utilize off-the-shelve products that lack real therapeutic benefit. A recent study demonstrated that these products contained only dead cells or cell fragments. Further, these products contained very low levels of growth factors, levels no higher than ordinary blood. Be highly cautious of any clinic or company that claims to provide living placental/amniotic cells as part of their therapy. This likely indicates the cells are from an unknown source and could be contaminated with any number of viral or bacterial pathogens.
