The letter contained the following commentary:RENB recently signed a binding letter of intent to acquire Predictive Oncology (Stock Symbol: POAI) that will provide with a tremendous company-owned database consisting of 150,000 frozen / live tumor samples, 20 years of drug response data, 40,000 FFPE tissue blocks, 200,000 pathology slides and digital library, and a fully certified CLIA laboratory. RENB plans to commercialize Predictive's clinical support test that assists oncologists in selecting the best therapy for their patients, and deploy their multi-omic AI system for drug discovery known as PEDAL (Patient-centric Discovery by Active Learning), a platform that combines AI technology, drug response data, and a large biobank of tumor samples to predict how different tumors will respond to various drugs.When RENB acquired GEDiCube, the rationale was that these two business segments were synergistic. This remains a core value proposition but for synergies to materialize requires structured collaboration between the two verticals: AI cancer detection and genetically enhanced cancer vaccines.  There are two business developments that RENB is pursuing.Identifying a whole genome sequencer that can serve as the front end of RENB point of care cancer detection platform.GEDiCube to deploy its AI/ML analysis to discover more genes and factors that can be deployed in RENB Dendritic Cancer Cell Vaccine (DCCV). Incorporating these new discoveries into RENB patent filings will build shareholder value by ringfencing the DCCV platform and providing the ability to partner or license specific cancer applications. This has the potential to enhance the core three elements RENB infuses into DCCV now, allowing it to become specific for cancer types, and ultimately be available as an off the shelf solution. In the future this could facilitate early cancer detection in a doctor's office followed by the treatment of a patient with our vaccine. To gain exposure for our DCCV and generate business development RENB will be attending the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the first and largest cancer research organization, Annual Meeting in April 2025.To make its AI/ML powered early cancer detection tests a reality, RENB requires two vital components: the latest superpods to achieve the speed necessary to run trillions of calculations, and critical data and sample sets. RENB announced in late December 2024, a strategic collaboration with Nebul (www.nebul.com) that will provide that power. Additionally, Nebul is focused on healthcare and is ISO certified. The company has received a grant for the Lumina project that aims to deliver an advanced Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) detection platform for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This project provides RENB with 100 samples for immediate analysis followed by an additional 200 samples as they are generated and provides critical data.For more information on $RENB visit: http://www.renovarobio.com and https://compasslivemedia.com/renb/Media ContactCompany Name: Renovaro Inc.

PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - One of the most common malignancies in the world today is gastric cancer. The incidence rate is influenced by various factors, including the aging of the population, dietary choices, lifestyle changes, and the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Growth in the market is driven by an increase in demand for diagnostic tools, therapies, and supporting care in tandem with a rise in the number of diagnosed cases. A recent report from MarketsAndMarkets projected that the global gastric cancer market accounted for USD 3.01 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 18.43 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 17.92% during the forecast period 2024-2034. The report said: “The market will grow due to the rising incidence of gastric cancer, improvements in diagnostic technologies, emerging treatments and therapies, personalized medicine and precision medicine, government funding and initiatives, and technological advancements in surgery and minimally invasive procedures. Growth in the market is driven by an increase in demand for diagnostic tools, therapies, and supporting care in tandem with a rise in the number of diagnosed cases. For instance, in January 2024, Roche revealed encouraging findings from the Phase III RAINBOW research, which assessed the safety and effectiveness of ramucirumab when combined with chemotherapy to treat advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer.” Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSEPFE) and Alliance Foundation Trials, LLC (AFT) today announced results from the Phase 3 PATINA trial demonstrating that the addition of IBRANCE® (palbociclib) to current standard-of-care first-line maintenance therapy (following induction chemotherapy) resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) by investigator assessment in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In the study, which is sponsored by AFT, median PFS was 44.3 months (95% CI: 32.4-60.9) for patients treated with IBRANCE in combination with anti-HER2 therapy (trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab) and endocrine therapy, and 29.1 months (95% CI: 23.3-38.6) for patients treated with anti-HER2 therapy and endocrine therapy alone [HR: 0.74 (95% CI, 0.58-0.94); unstratified 1-sided p= 0.0074]. This represents an extension in median PFS of over 15 months. Overall survival, a secondary endpoint, was not yet mature at the time of the analysis. These results are being presented during a late-breaking oral session (Abstract GS2-12) and highlighted in the press program at the 47th San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in San Antonio, Texas.
