Key Points: 
  • DermTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMTK) (DermTech or the Company), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by a non-invasive skin genomics technology, today announced the presentation of two research abstracts at the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, taking place March 8th-12th in San Diego, California.
  • “This real-world clinical study demonstrates that the DMT can help clinicians improve outcomes for cutaneous melanomas in patients of all skin types,” commented Dr. Skelsey.
  • The research found that somatic mutations in healthy-appearing sun-exposed skin indicate an increased risk for skin cancer.

EDISON, N.J., Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:HEPA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-driven therapeutic drug development for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”), fibrotic diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma (“HCC”), and other chronic diseases, today announced results from a study with in which the anti-cancer activity of Hepion’s lead drug candidate, rencofilstat, was tested in a high through-put screen on 850 cancer cell lines spanning 28 types of cancer at the PRISM lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Key Points: 
  • The Broad Institute is one of the few institutions in the world with such an expansive cancer cell line screening program.
  • Rencofilstat was administered at eight concentrations to each cancer cell line in culture for 5 days, followed by measurement of surviving cells to determine how effectively the drug candidate killed or suppressed proliferation of the cancer cells.
  • Defining “anti-cancer responsiveness” as 50% or greater reduction in viability following treatment, 26% of all tested cancer cell lines (220/850) spanning 86% of cancer cell types (24/28) were responsive to rencofilstat.
  • Thus, administration of rencofilstat to cancer patients with the standard regimen of once-daily oral dosing may be efficacious for those with responsive types of cancer.

Hepion Pharmaceuticals Discovers Novel Rencofilstat Action in Liver Cancer

EDISON, N.J., Sept. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:HEPA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-driven therapeutic drug development for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”), fibrotic diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma (“HCC”), and other chronic diseases, today announced new research findings uncovering a previously unknown mechanism by which Hepion’s lead drug candidate, rencofilstat, may exert anti-cancer activity.

Key Points: 
  • Gene expression occurs from DNA sites that are in an open state, whereas genes within closed regions are silent.
  • Hepion’s ATAC-Seq experiments on two liver cancer cell lines revealed that rencofilstat significantly changed the open-closed state of DNA.
  • Thus, changes in gene accessibility produced by rencofilstat favored an anti-cancer mode of action.
  • Hepion has also received FDA clearance to begin a Phase 2 clinical trial of rencofilstat in HCC, which remains the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for up to 90% of all primary liver cancers.

  • Additionally, we show benefit of combinatorial approaches of menin and FLT3 covalent inhibitors with MEK and BCL2 blockade.
  • These data provide initial pre-clinical evidence for combining pathway specific inhibitors as a promising therapeutic strategy for further investigation in acute leukemia.
