PathAI Launches its AI-Powered PathExplore Data Access Program for Academic Researchers

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced it has applied its PathExplore panel of human interpretable features (HIFs) on publicly available samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a comprehensive resource of oncology data containing genomic and outcomes data, along with associated H&E whole-slide images (WSIs). PathAI will make the HIFs from eight TCGA cancer types available for free as a data access program for academic researchers to perform independent research to support their own investigations. Earlier this year, PathAI launched PathExplore, an AI-powered panel of HIFs offering unprecedented resolution of the tumor microenvironment (TME) from digitized H&E slides. Powered by artificial intelligence, PathExplore spatially characterizes the TME with single-cell resolution, giving researchers the ability to unlock insights on patient response, drug pathways, and potential novel biomarkers. The ability to characterize and quantify histopathological features of the TME will enable new avenues of disease research, and may lead to promising new therapies. With this PathExplore HIF research data set, oncology researchers can analyze tissue compositions, cell populations, and how their quantities and spatial relationships correlate with molecular signatures, treatment response or prognostic outcomes. This data set is the first of its kind: no other widely available quantitative, structured data set based on histopathology exists. The features are standardized across indications, so researchers can glean new insights into the common or distinct TME characteristics of each tumor type or patient subset. Adding structured and standardized pathology data to TCGA enables a new set of multi-model investigations for researchers to pursue, all while lowering the barrier to integrating pathology image data into biomedical research that previously had been restricted to labs that had access to manual pathology analysis. “The TME has been a challenge to fully investigate due to the sheer amount of spatially distributed information contained within it,” said Mike Montalto, PathAI’s chief scientific officer. “Pathologists can assess the specimens and try to estimate how certain cell or tissue growth patterns are present in each patient, but they cannot exhaustively enumerate each and every relevant cell type under the microscope. That is what our PathExplore products provide - they not only accurately identify where each cell is located, but they provide structured and standardized feature tables that can enable next generation pathology research to be performed.” To learn more about PathAI’s PathExplore HIF research data set and apply for access, please reach out to pathexplore.hifs@pathai.com. If approved, there is no cost to academic researchers to access and use these data sets. PathExplore HIFs are for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. Biopharma industry partners interested in purchasing a license to access PathExplore TCGA HIFs may reach out to bd@pathai.com for more information. PathAI is the only AI-focused technology company to provide comprehensive precision pathology solutions from wet lab services to algorithm deployment for clinical trials and diagnostic use. Rigorously trained and validated with data from more than 15 million annotations, its AI-powered models can be leveraged to optimize the analysis of patient samples to improve efficiency and accuracy of pathology interpretation, as well as to better gauge therapeutic efficacy and accelerate drug development for complex diseases. PathAI, which is headquartered in Boston, MA, and operates a CAP/CLIA-certified laboratory in Memphis, TN, is proud to have a team of 600+ innovative thinkers from around the globe.

Neuroinflammation A Key Indicator For Alzheimer’s, But Current Treatments Show Little Success In Reducing Or Even Increase It — Could This Rising Company Have The Answer?

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga There have been several accelerated approvals granted to treatments for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in recent months, and there are several treatments also in development. Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ: TLSA), a biotechnology company with a robust pipeline of therapies, is looking to bring a novel therapy to market that would tackle neuroinflammation in patients with AD. In 2021, the FDA granted accelerated approval to Aducanumab, developed by Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB), and early in 2023, it gave accelerated approval to Lecanemab, developed by Eisai Co Ltd (TYO: 4523) and Biogen. Both immunotherapies target the disease pathology by reducing amyloid plaque buildup in the brain. While Lecanemab does slow the rate of cognitive decline, it includes the risk of adverse events, and Aducanumab was denied authorization by the European Medical Agency, partly because of fears of side effects like swelling in the brain. A couple of other treatments are currently in development for treating AD, including Eli Lilly’s (NYSE: LLY) Donanemab, which expects a decision from the FDA by the end of the year, and Acumen Pharmaceuticals’ (NASDAQ: ABOS) ACU193, which has announced safety and efficacy results from its phase 1 trial. Tiziana Focusing On Neuroinflammation For AD While these drugs target amyloid, none of them are focused on reducing neural inflammation. However, neuroinflammation is a key indicator for AD, caused by microglia – the primary immune cells of the brain – that are activated by the buildup of amyloid plaque. Targeting neuroinflammation has the potential to be a successful therapeutic strategy for tackling mild to moderate AD. An investigational new drug (IND) application has filed for Foralumab, a treatment that dampens neuroinflammation by binding to T-cells. “There are no FDA-approved treatments for Alzheimer’s disease specific to the neuroinflammation caused by microglia activation triggered by amyloid beta plaque,” said Matthew W. Davis, the Chief Medical Officer of Tiziana. “We plan to study 3-months administration of intranasal foralumab in Alzheimer’s disease patients to see if neuroinflammatory activated microglia will return to the baseline homeostatic state.” The company has already seen positive results with foralumab in a trial for indications against multiple sclerosis. Because this drug has already undergone a phase 1 trial, Tiziana may now potentially be able to fast-track foralumab as a treatment for AD. It has applied for a $3 million grant from a prestigious Alzheimer’s research foundation to support a potential phase 2a trial. If it is granted approval, Tiziana’s drug could provide a novel treatment for patients with mild to moderate AD. The Alzheimer's therapeutics market was worth $5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $18 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% over 2022-2029.
