Stocks Rally Friday To Salvage The Volatile Week – $EPRX $JOBY $MODD $NVDA $RKLB $VIX 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, $2.30, +.88% over the last 5-days and is up 116.98% 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.

On 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 $3.77, -1.3% over the last 5-days and is up +4.43% over the last month.  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 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.

On August 9, announced operational highlights and financial results for the second quarter 2024, ending June 30, 2024 highlighting the following:

•  Active clinical trials across three AI-guided drug candidates with additional ADC-based preclinical molecules in evaluation for development.
• Preliminary patient data and clinical readouts for Phase 2 LP-300 Harmonic™ Trial released showing an 86% clinical benefit rate in the initial 7 patient safety lead-in cohort.
• Issued a Certificate of Patent by the Japanese Patent Office directed to Lantern Pharma’s drug candidate LP-284, including claims covering the new molecular entity.
• Phase 1 clinical trials for both synthetic lethal drug candidates, LP-184 and LP-284, continue to advance with no dose-limiting toxicities observed in any of the patient cohorts enrolled and over 40 patients dosed to-date.
• Achieved significant advancement towards key milestone in the development of molecular diagnostic for use with drug candidate LP-184 in future oncology clinical trials to improve patient selection and stratification.
• Launched strategic drug development collaboration leveraging our AI platform, RADR®, with Oregon Therapeutics to optimize the development of first-in-class drug candidate XCE853 – a potent inhibitor of cancer metabolism.
• Starlight Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lantern Pharma focused on CNS and brain cancers advanced with initiating site selection and feasibility for a Phase 1B/Phase 2 trial in recurrent GBM with drug candidate, STAR-001.
• Launched Webinar Wednesdays, a webinar series that focuses on the areas of artificial intelligence and oncology drug development with leading physicians, scientists and Lantern collaborators.
  Approximately $33.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024.
