Check out this Lou Basenese, Public Ventures President & Chief Market Strategist, interview with Varney & Company on FOX where he shares his views on several ‘under the radar’ AI companies, including AI firm Lantern Pharma. Here’s the link at Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/883266795/28d49860cf?share=copy
- Received IND clearance from FDA to initiate Phase 1 clinical trial for LP-284, a first-in-human trial for advanced, refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL).
- Dosed initial patient in Phase 1 with LP-184, a clinical trial for multiple advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard-of-care therapies.
- Progressed Phase 2 LP-300 Harmonic™ clinical trial towards enrollment in East Asian countries where 30-35+% of all lung cancer cases occur in never-smokers with NSCLC; continued expansion of additional clinical trial sites in the US and increased focus on recruitment activity with advocacy groups.
- Developed initial proof-of-concept and preclinical evidence for a novel cryptophycin-based ADC (antibody-drug conjugate); initial data is planned to be shared in January 2024.
- Furthered development of Lantern’s AI platform, RADR®, to include modules for the streamlined development of ADCs and the prediction of drug combinations with existing approved checkpoint inhibitors.
- Approximately $45 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2023, is anticipated to provide a cash runway into at least Q3 of 2025.
As a quick follow up to Tribe Public’s recent CEO Presentation events that were held on the West Coast, our sister organization held a brief webinar-based Q&A session with Panna Sharma, CEO of Lantern, to have him address a few questions. The video has now ben published at the Tribe Public YouTube Channel the brief ~10-minute informative session can be viewed now by clicking here.
On Oct. 3, Lantern announced that in vivo data highlighting the enhanced efficacy of Lantern’s drug candidate LP-184 in glioblastoma (GBM) were published in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. LP-184 is a unique small molecule with low nanomolar activity and favorable CNS penetration. LP-184 utilizes its powerful mechanism of action, known as synthetic lethality, to exploit common vulnerabilities in solid tumor and CNS cancers with DNA damage repair (DDR) deficiencies. In addition, Lantern’s AI platform, RADR®, has highlighted overlapping gene dependency profiles between GBM tumorigenesis and sensitivity to LP-184, such as EGFR activation pathways. The article, entitled “Preclinical Efficacy of LP-184, a Tumor Site Activated Synthetic Lethal Therapeutic, in Glioblastoma” can be accessed here.

Panna Sharma is the President, CEO, and Board Member of Lantern Pharma Inc.
“The data highlighted in Clinical Cancer Research solidify LP-184 as a promising therapeutic for GBM, with LP-184 having inhibited the viability and growth of multiple GBM models including temozolomide-resistant and MGMT-expressing cells,” stated Panna Sharma, Lantern’s President and CEO.
“The rapid advancement of LP-184 into a first-in-human Phase 1 trial provides strong validation of the power of our AI-enabled approach to drug development. This approach is about more than just developing new treatments, it’s about making them more targeted, more effective, and ultimately doing all of this more efficiently. This publication demonstrates our ability to deliver on these aspirations and introduce new therapeutic programs in areas where there is significant unmet patient need.”
Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK, $620.51, -1.93% over the last 5-days), a global leader in designing, marketing, and distributing innovative footwear, apparel, and accessories, announced financial results recently for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company also provided an update to its financial outlook for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. “The strength of demand for our HOKA and UGG brands continued to drive exceptional performance, producing record revenue and earnings for Deckers in both the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2024,” said Dave Powers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team’s ability to deliver compelling products that create emotional connections with consumers through engaging marketing campaigns, differentiates our brands in a competitive marketplace. This, paired with our strategic approach to marketplace management, led by our DTC channel, remains paramount to the success of our brands and Company. We are focused on maintaining the integrity of our healthy brands to deliver the results detailed in our increased outlook, while remaining aligned with long-term objectives.”
Indaptus is a company with the ability to harness both the body’s innate and adaptive immune responses, believes that they are uniquely positioned to revolutionize the treatment of cancer and certain infectious diseases. Indaptus Therapeutics has evolved from more than a century of immunotherapy advances. The Company’s novel approach is based on the hypothesis that efficient activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells and pathways and associated anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses will require a multi-targeted package of immune system-activating signals that can be administered safely intravenously (i.v.). Indaptus’ patented technology is composed of single strains of attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria producing a multiple Toll-like receptor (TLR), Nucleotide oligomerization domain (Nod)-like receptor (NLR) and Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist Decoy platform. The products are designed to have reduced i.v. toxicity, but largely uncompromised ability to prime or activate many of the cells and pathways of innate and adaptive immunity. Decoy products represent an antigen-agnostic technology that have produced single-agent activity against metastatic pancreatic and orthotopic colorectal carcinomas, single agent eradication of established antigen-expressing breast carcinoma, as well as combination-mediated eradication of established hepatocellular carcinomas and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in standard pre-clinical models, including syngeneic mouse tumors and human tumor xenografts.
In pre-clinical studies tumor eradication was observed with Decoy products in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint therapy, low-dose chemotherapy, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or an approved, targeted antibody. Combination-based tumor eradication in pre-clinical models produced innate and adaptive immunological memory, involved activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells, and was associated with induction of innate and adaptive immune pathways in tumors after only one i.v. dose of Decoy product, with associated “cold” to “hot” tumor inflammation signature transition. IND-enabling, nonclinical toxicology studies demonstrated safe i.v. administration without sustained induction of hallmark biomarkers of cytokine release syndromes, possibly due to passive targeting to liver, spleen, and tumor, followed by rapid elimination of the product. Indaptus’ Decoy products have also produced significant single agent activity against chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in pre-clinical models.
On Nov. 6, Indaptus announced interim data from the first cohort of four patients in the Phase 1 INDP-D101 trial of its lead compound, Decoy20. A broad expression of cytokines and chemokines associated with innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses was observed, while adverse events were generally tolerable and resolved within 30 minutes to three days. Decoy20 is designed to “re-set” the immune system’s response to cancer. The poster was presented on November 4, 2023, at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer in San Diego.
“We are impressed that we saw short-term induction of more than 50 cytokines, chemokines and biomarkers and believe this is unprecedented with a single agent. These early data support our long-standing hypothesis that the Decoy platform may induce robust immune responses across multiple types of immune cells that we believe are important for the eradication of solid tumors,” commented Indaptus CEO Jeffrey Meckler. Learn more here.
“We continue to be encouraged by early results from our first cohort of patients in the INDP-D101 trial evaluating Decoy20 for the treatment of solid tumors. As we recently reported and presented at the Society for Immunology in Cancer (SITC) conference, all four first cohort patients have maintained stable disease since receiving their single dose and presented evidence of immune activation, along with short-lived adverse events consistent with Decoy20’s mechanism of action, and we look forward to continuing to track them. In the meantime, we have already dosed our first patient in the second cohort, for which we have titrated the dose down in anticipation of a similar response. We continue to expect to have the second cohort completed by early 2024, which would provide guidance for the selection for the recommended Phase 2 dose for subsequent multi-dosing and combination studies, which are also planned for 2024,” said Jeffrey Meckler, Chief Executive Officer of Indaptus. “We are also fortunate to be receiving the benefit of our appointment of industry veteran, Roger Waltzman, M.D., as our Chief Medical Officer, who has already proven valuable even in this short period. We anticipate continuing to benefit from his expertise as we move forward with our Phase 1 trial and further develop the Decoy platform. In the meantime, we are prudently managing our cash position.”
On Sept, 29, Tribe Public hosted a Webinar Presentation and Q&A Event titled “Immunotherapy Reimagined”. Indaptus Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: INDP) CEO, Jeffrey Meckler delivered a presentation & also addressed a 5-10 minute Q&A session at the end of the presentation. You may view it now by clicking here.
