Aligning Incentives and Leveraging Technology to Improve Clinical Trials for Sponsors and Participants with Meri Beckwith Lindus Health TRANSCRIPT

Empowered Patient Podcast

Meri Beckwith, Co-Founder of Lindus Health, aims to transform clinical trials by changing the CRO model to leverage technology to improve patient recruitment, retention, and the experience of the sponsors and trial participants. While the compensation model for contract research organizations is often not aligned with trial outcomes, Lindus ties compensation to hitting milestones and outcomes. They emphasize the need for more flexible trial design and a decentralized and hybrid approach to reduce participant burden and bring drugs to market sooner. Meri explains, "This comes back to...

AI-Powered Cancer Biomarker Digital Detection Informs and Accelerates Decisions of Pathologists and Oncologists with Greg Hamilton io9 TRANSCRIPT

Empowered Patient Podcast

Greg explains, "For many of these cancers, determining the right cancer treatment is the difference between life and death. When we look at how we treat cancer today, what hasn’t changed is that there’ll be a biopsy. So, they take a piece of the tumor out and send that tumor to a pathologist. Pathologists will take that tumor and put it in a glass slide. They usually use what’s called H&E, they kind of stain it to read it better. But basically, a pathologist is looking under a microscope at the cells, and that’s how we diagnose cancer. That’s the formal way that we diagnose...

AI-Powered Cancer Biomarker Digital Detection Informs and Accelerates Decisions of Pathologists and Oncologists with Greg Hamilton io9

Empowered Patient Podcast

Greg Hamilton, CEO of io9, aims to enable precision oncology treatments for patients globally. The company has developed an AI-powered biomarker analysis platform called OncoGaze that can rapidly analyze digital pathology images to identify cancer biomarkers. This enables pathologists to efficiently and quickly digitize and analyze tumor samples and oncologists to start patients on the appropriate targeted therapy much faster. Greg explains, "For many of these cancers, determining the right cancer treatment is the difference between life and death. When we look at how we treat...

Leveraging Antibody Phage Display Library to Generate Unique Bispecific Antibodies for Solid Tumors with Dr. Jeng Her AP Biosciences TRANSCRIPT

Empowered Patient Podcast

Dr. Jeng Her, Founder and CEO of AP Biosciences, is developing T-Cube bispecific antibodies that can target cancer cells and engage T-cells to kill them more effectively and safely than existing treatments. The company is focused on treating hard-to-treat cancers such as HER2-positive breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The T-Cube bispecific antibodies use CD137 instead of CD3 to activate T-cells, which can lead to better efficacy and safety compared to other T-cell engager antibodies. Jeng explains, "So why not just take two, let's say, monospecific...

Dissolvable Stent to Treat Peripheral Artery Disease Below the Knee with Dr. Ethan Korngold Abbott TRANSCRIPT

Empowered Patient Podcast

Dr. Ethan Korngold is the chief medical officer and divisional vice president of medical affairs at Abbott’s vascular business, which has developed a dissolvable stent technology to treat peripheral artery disease. PAD disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic communities and is often overlooked because early symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions. The Esprit BTK stent can help open up the smaller arteries below the knee and improve blood flow to the legs and feet to treat PAD and prevent severe complications and amputations. Ethan explains, "So peripheral artery disease...
