RedHill Biopharma Secures U.S. Government Funding Through BARDA To Advance Opaganib For Ebola Treatment

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga A decade after a deadly ebola outbreak that left more than 11,000 people dead and only six years after another outbreak killed over 2,000, more needs to be done to find an effective treatment for this infectious disease. That’s what RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDHL), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, is seeking to do with its novel, potentially broad-acting, host-directed therapy, opaganib, a first-in-class new chemical entity with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antiviral activity. The U.S. government’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), a center of the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), just selected opaganib for further development to treat exposure to Ebola virus disease (EBOV). To date, RedHill Biopharma said opaganib has made positive progress on the expected Animal Rule pathway towards potential approval as a treatment for EBOV. The Animal Rule allows for the use of pivotal animal model efficacy studies to support the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of new drugs when human clinical trials are not ethical or feasible. New Treatments Needed Ebola is a rare and often deadly virus caused by infection by one of a group of four viruses known as ebolaviruses. Transmission of the disease is mostly through contact with an infected animal (bat or nonhuman primate) or a sick or dead person infected with an ebolavirus. Currently, only Inmazeb, a combination of three monoclonal antibodies and Ebanga, a single monoclonal antibody, are FDA-approved to treat EBOV. Both are intravenously administered. According to RedHill Biopharma, there is an urgent need for host-directed small molecule therapies that may be effective against multiple strains of ebolavirus, are less likely to be impacted by viral mutation and are easy to store, distribute and administer, especially in areas where healthcare services and infrastructures may be sub-optimal. With ebola cases predicted to grow in the years to come, driven by a lack of effective treatment, so is the market size for vaccines and treatments. According to one forecast, the ebola drug and vaccine market is poised to reach $223.7 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2022 to 2027. Opaganib, which is orally administered, is thought to work through the inhibition of multiple pathways, the induction of autophagy and apoptosis and the disruption of viral replication, through simultaneous inhibition of three sphingolipid-metabolizing enzymes in human cells (SPHK2, DES1 and GCS). BARDA To Provide Funding Under the cost-sharing agreement with BARDA, BARDA will provide funding to further advance opaganib to mitigate infections and contain EBOV outbreaks. In an in vivo EBOV study with the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, RedHill Biopharma said opaganib delivered a statistically significant increase in survival time when given at 150 mg/kg twice a day. RedHill Biopharma said it’s the first host-directed molecule to show activity in EBOV. What’s more, RedHill said opaganib also recently demonstrated a distinct synergistic effect when combined individually with the COVID-19 antiviral treatment remdesivir, significantly improving potency while maintaining cell viability. “EBOV is deadly, killing, on average, half of all those who contract it. This year marks ten years since the West Africa Ebola epidemic in which 11,000 people died, and yet there are still no host-directed, small molecule therapies approved to provide effective and usable treatment strategies,” said Guy Goldberg, RedHill’s Chief Business Officer. “There are also enormous geopolitical and logistical challenges to overcome in managing outbreaks such as EBOV, and others like Mpox, and so new host-directed, small-molecule therapeutic options for biodefense and global health preparedness could prove to be major life-saving advances – this is especially true if they are capable of viral mutation-resistance, have extended shelf-lives for long-term storage, are relatively straightforward to transport to hard-to-reach territories and are easy to administer without the need for cold-storage or injections.” Fighting More Than EBOV In addition to EBOV, RedHill said opaganib has demonstrated antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, multiple variants and several other viruses, including Influenza A. Opaganib is currently also in development for multiple oncology, viral, inflammatory and diabetes and obesity-related indications, including COVID-19, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and radiological and chemical protection or mitigation. RedHill Biopharma’s novel drug has also been selected for evaluation by other NIH-funded U.S. government countermeasure programs including the Radiation and Nuclear Countermeasures Program (RNCP) for development as a potential treatment for Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) and by the BARDA Chemical Medical Countermeasures (Chem MCM) Program and the NIH/NIAID Chemical Countermeasures Research Program (CCRP), in addition to several other U.S. government and non-government collaborations. Ebola is a fast-spreading and often deadly disease that needs better solutions. RedHill Biopharma and BARDA are betting on opaganib to potentially provide another easier-to-mobilize option to fight outbreaks. To learn more about RedHill Biopharma’s novel drug, click here.

News Release

Kairos Pharma (NYSEAmerican: KAPA): Advancing New Strategies to Overcome Cancer Treatment Challenges

KAPA

The global oncology landscape is on the brink of transformation, with cancer cases expected to rise sharply, particularly in lower-income countries, where the number of new cases could soar to 32 million annually by 2050. This growing demand for cancer treatments has driven global spending on oncology medicines to $223 billion in 2023, with a projected increase to $409 billion by 2028. The launch of 25 novel oncology drugs in 2023, along with over 2,000 new clinical trials, highlights a dynamic period of innovation in the sector. Breakthrough therapies, including cell and gene therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, and radioligand treatments, show significant promise but remain unevenly accessible. As oncology treatments continue to evolve at a rapid pace, this environment presents a unique window of opportunity for investors to explore emerging biopharma companies, which are positioned to lead the charge in addressing unmet medical needs in cancer care. Kairos Pharma, Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Los Angeles, is steadily building a presence in the oncology space. Focusing on therapies aimed at overcoming cancer drug resistance and immune suppression, Kairos has developed a promising pipeline that could attract attention. Among its most notable candidates is ENV105, a therapy designed to target the mechanisms that allow tumors to evade treatment. With ongoing clinical trials and a recent IPO, Kairos Pharma (KAPA) shows potential as an emerging player in biotechnology, particularly as it continues to develop personalized cancer treatments. Exploring New Avenues in Cancer Treatment with ENV105 At the forefront of Kairos Pharma's mission is ENV105, a groundbreaking therapy aimed at reversing drug resistance in cancer patients. This drug distinguishes itself from traditional treatments by targeting the mechanisms that allow tumors to evade existing therapies. Mechanism of Action: ENV105 works by inhibiting the CD105 protein, which plays a critical role in the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway. Unlike many cancer treatments that focus on blocking Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), ENV105 addresses the BMP pathway, which can contribute to increased tumor resistance. By disrupting this pathway, ENV105 enhances the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments. Biomarker Advantage: A significant aspect of ENV105 is its associated biomarker, which can predict patient responses before treatment begins. This capability allows for a more personalized approach, ensuring that patients who are most likely to benefit from the therapy are identified upfront, potentially increasing treatment success rates. Clinical Trial Successes The results from recent clinical trials are promising. In studies involving ENV105, 62% of patients experienced disease stabilization or regression after just two months of treatment—a remarkable outcome compared to the typical response rates seen in similar populations. Additionally, ENV105 has shown efficacy in enhancing the effects of existing therapies for both prostate and lung cancers, two of the most prevalent cancer types. Recent Developments and Partnerships Kairos Pharma is making significant strides in its clinical trials. The company recently dosed its first patients in a Phase 1 trial combining ENV105 with osimertinib for non-small cell lung cancer. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination, while a concurrent Phase 2 trial tests ENV105 alongside apalutamide for treating castrate-resistant prostate cancer. John Yu, CEO of Kairos Pharma, emphasizes the company’s commitment to addressing urgent medical needs: “The initiation of these trials speaks to the dedication of the Kairos team to develop therapies for today’s unmet medical needs.” Further enhancing its prospects, Kairos Pharma has partnered with PreCheck Health Services to develop companion biomarkers that will identify which patients are most likely to benefit from ENV105. This collaboration aims to incorporate advanced molecular diagnostics into clinical practice, allowing for better patient selection and monitoring. On September 16, 2024, Kairos Pharma made its debut on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “KAPA,” successfully raising $6.2 million through its initial public offering. The proceeds will be vital for funding ongoing clinical trials and advancing its diverse pipeline, which includes ENV105 and other innovative candidates like KROS 101. Conclusion With its focus on reversing cancer drug resistance and improving immune response, KAPA is poised to make an impact in oncology. As Kairos Pharma continues to advance its trials and develop personalized cancer therapies, it stands on the brink of potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment. For those looking to invest in a company with a bright future in biotechnology, Kairos Pharma is one for the watchlist. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.
