Interest Rates & Tesla Fly While Indices Drop Widely This Week – $ADT $EPRX $MODD $NVDA $OKLO $RKLB $TSLA Rise!

 

The global diabetes care market, valued at $18.9 billion in 2023, is projected to reach $35.8 billion by 2028, with the insulin pump segment expected to grow from $5.26 billion to $21.65 billion by 2032. As reported by Fortune Business Insights, this rapid growth is driven by increasing diabetes prevalence and technological advancements in insulin delivery devices.

Modular Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: MODD, $2.22, +.45% over the last 5-days and is up 117.65% over the last year), an insulin delivery system technology company preparing to launch a market expansion product with a more accessible, easier to prescribe, and easier to pay for and live with technology. Using its patented technologies, the company seeks to eliminate the tradeoff between complexity and efficacy, thereby making top quality insulin delivery both affordable and simple to learn. Their mission is to improve access to the highest standard of glycemic control for people with diabetes taking it beyond “superusers” and providing “diabetes care for the rest of us.” Modular Medical was founded by Paul DiPerna, a seasoned medical device professional and microfluidics engineer. Prior to founding Modular Medical, Mr. DiPerna was the founder (in 2005) of Tandem Diabetes and invented and designed its t:slim insulin pump. More information is available at https://modular-medical.com.

In October, Modular’s CEO was interviewed by Carole Sullivan on the Today In Nashville program affiliated with Channel 4 WSMV. The segment is called “New Tools for Treating Diabetes by Modular Medical.” You may watch the video now at this link.

On September 18, Modular Medical announced the issuance of U.S. Divisional Patent Application No. 17/968,599. “The issuance of this patent and the associated claims represent a major step in our efforts to protect the intellectual property in the MODD1 pump platform,” stated Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical. “Some of the key features of our novel, low-cost and accurate insulin delivery technology are now protected by this important issued U.S. patent, which we believe represents a significant new barrier to entry. Our eight families of patents around our pump are an important part of our strategic value and market positioning, and we look forward to announcing further issuances on our portfolio in the future.”

On September 11, Modular Medical’s CEO Jeb Besser presented at Tribe Public’s Webinar Presentation and Q&A Event titled “Diabetes, Obesity, GLP-1, & The MODD-1 Opportunity.” The event video has now been viewed over 47,000 times and can now be viewed below:

On Wednesday, September 4, Modular announced it has received U. S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market and sell its MODD1 pump in the United States. With its commercial manufacturing infrastructure substantially established, the Company anticipates the MODD1 should be available for sale in early 2025.

 

James (Jeb) Besser, CEO of Modular Medical (NASDAQ: MODD)

“For too long, the benefits of superior glycemic control achieved by insulin pumps have, due to cost and complexity, been restricted to only the most sophisticated, motivated and well-insured users. The goal of Modular Medical has always been to change this by making diabetes technology accessible and affordable to underserved communities. We seek to make the experience of going ‘on a pump’ simpler and less intimidating and to widen the base beyond the current pump users,” said Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical.

Lantern (LTRN) closed at $3.34, -2.91% over the last 5-days and is up +18.02% over the last year.  Lantern is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) firm that is transforming the cost, pace, and timeline of oncology drug discovery and development and specifically is developing targeted and transformative cancer therapies using its proprietary RADR® AI and machine learning (“ML”) platform with multiple clinical stage drug programs.

On October 22. Lantern announced that they will be participating in and hosting two webinars that are open to the public during October. Lantern expects to discuss in detail how big data and AI are being leveraged to advance the development of multiple indications for drug-candidates LP-184 and LP-284 during the “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Develop Therapies for Brain and Childhood Cancers” at 8:30am pacific on Monday, October 28. Register here. Lantern will also discuss how their algorithm for blood-brain-barrier (BBB) penetrability played a critical role in supporting the development of LP-184 across multiple CNS cancer indications, including GBM. This webinar will be hosted by Tribe Public and feature Panna Sharma, Lantern’s President and CEO. Both LP-184 and LP-284 are currently enrolling patients in Phase 1 trials. Webinar Wednesday will focus on Lantern’s AI-focused collaboration with Actuate Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that went public in August 2024. Andrew Mazar, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of Actuate, and Lantern’s computational biologist Joseph McDermott, Ph.D., will discuss the multi-year research and development collaboration that accelerated the development of Actuate’s lead drug candidate, Elraglusib.

On October 15, Lantern Pharma announced that the FDA has granted Fast Track Designation for investigational drug candidate, LP-184, for treatment of Glioblastoma. LP-184 is currently in a Phase 1A clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the synthetically lethal investigational drug candidate in a broad range of solid tumors, including Glioblastoma (GBM). LP-184 was optimized and advanced in part with Lantern’s AI platform, RADR®, to aid in the validation of mechanisms that could be exploited in the clinical setting to eradicate challenging cancers, and uncover insights in targeted patient populations. RADR® is Lantern’s AI platform for cancer therapy discovery, development and rescue with over 100 billion data points and aiding in the development of both Lantern’s portfolio and development initiatives with Lantern’s collaborators. Fast Track Designation is designed to expedite FDA review of important new drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Fast Track Designation for LP-184 (STAR-001) recognizes Glioblastoma (GBM) as a serious condition impacting more than 13,000 U.S. adults each year and approximately 300,000 globally. A phase 1b/2a clinical trial for recurrent GBM is targeted to start in late 2024/early 2025. LP-184, which will be developed as STAR-001 for CNS and other neuro-oncology indications by Starlight Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lantern Pharma, has the potential to be the first new drug for treating GBM in more than 20 years.

On September 23, Lantern announced that the company has been granted three rare pediatric disease designations (RPDD) by the FDA. Lantern was granted these rare pediatric disease designations in: malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), and hepatoblastoma. Rare pediatric diseases are defined by the FDA as serious or life-threatening conditions primarily affecting children under 18, with fewer than 200,000 cases in the U.S. A key benefit of obtaining a RPDD is the potential to receive a priority review voucher following FDA approval of a product with RPDD if the marketing application submitted for the product satisfies certain conditions, including approval prior to September 30, 2026 unless changed by legislation. These vouchers, often called “golden tickets,” can significantly expedite the review process for future NDAs or biologic license applications, reducing the standard review time from about ten months to six. Sponsors can either use these vouchers themselves or sell them to other companies. These vouchers, in the recent past, have commanded sales prices of approximately $100 million USD.

 

Panna Sharma is the President, CEO, and Board Member of Lantern Pharma Inc.

“At Lantern, we’re harnessing AI and data-driven approaches to revolutionize cancer drug development, aiming to dramatically reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and enhance precision in bringing new therapies to patients. Our recent breakthrough in identifying three additional, high-potential indications for LP-184 in pediatric cancers exemplifies this progress. We believe that ‘AI for good’ should address both blockbuster opportunities as well as rare, often overlooked pediatric cases. The FDA’s Rare Pediatric Disease designation for these three potential programs is a testament to this commitment. We’re acutely aware that patients and their families are relying on innovators like us to speed up therapy development. These designations mark a crucial step forward in advancing our expanding portfolio of pediatric programs targeting these devastating and rare cancers. It reinforces our dedication to transforming hope into tangible solutions for those who need them most,” stated Panna Sharma, CEO and President of Lantern Pharma.
