$102,430 Grant Awarded for Inclusion Body Myositis Research


The 2019 Million Dollar Bike Ride grant for inclusion body myositis (IBM) research has been awarded to Dr. Steven Greenberg of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Greenberg will study “Development of a Chemokine Targeted Therapy for Inclusion Body Myositis.” Dr. Greenberg is a neuromuscular specialist with a longstanding interest in IBM.

Inclusion body myositis is a rare muscle disease that causes gradually worsening muscle weakness, often leading to severe disability. Frequent early symptoms are weak hand grip, causing trouble with tasks such as opening jars and ziplock bags, and weak legs, which results in falls and trouble standing up from low chairs. Eventually most patients need to use a wheelchair, and some lose nearly all ability to move. The cause is not known and there is no effective treatment.

The money for the research grant was raised by Team Cure IBM, a group of individuals who banded together to fight for recognition and research of inclusion body myositis. Last June, thirty people rode for IBM in the Million Dollar Bike Ride, an annual rare disease fundraising event sponsored by the Orphan Disease Center at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). Volunteer fundraisers received contributions from over 400 donors. Orphazyme, the Danish biopharmaceutical company, generously agreed to help sponsor the team. The Myositis Association and Myositis Support and Understanding also supported the cause. The team was organized by Cure IBM, a non-profit organization dedicated to inclusion body myositis.

It was truly a team effort, and this research grant demonstrates what can be achieved when people work together for IBM.

Based on this success, Penn has invited Team Cure IBM back to ride again in the 2020 Million Dollar Bike Ride. Today the team is starting its campaign to recruit new riders, fundraisers, and donors for the 2020 Million Dollar Bike Ride, which will take place on Saturday, June 13 in Philadelphia.

Riders have a choice of 3 courses: 13, 34, or 72 miles.

Fundraisers can register as virtual riders and help the cause even if they cannot ride or come to Philadelphia.

Donations are made to Penn, which temporarily holds the money before distributing 100% of the funds in a research grant. Amounts raised between $20-30,000 will be doubled by the Orphan Disease Center at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Donations for the 2020 ride can be made here: https://givingpages.upenn.edu/TeamCureIBM

In the past six years, the Million Dollar Bike Ride has funded over $10 million dollars in research for more than 30 rare diseases. https://www.milliondollarbikeride.org/

NeoTract Designates Dr. Jaspreet Parihar as UroLift® Center of Excellence


News Image

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Jaspreet Parihar as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Jaspreet Parihar, MD, City of Hope Urology in Lancaster, CA, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Parihar has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“We are pleased to recognize Dr. Jaspreet Parihar as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing consistent care to BPH patients using the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “This achievement has helped many patients experience durable, longterm relief from the burdensome symptoms of BPH while preserving sexual function*1,2.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

Lifecycle Biotechnologies Announces Investment in a Biotechnology Campus in Cleburne, Texas


Lifecycle Cleburne

Lifecycle Cleburne

We are now able to focus and invest in the future of our technologies.

Lifecycle Biotechnologies announced today that is has acquired a 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility on 13 acres in Cleburne, Texas to be used as a biopharmaceutical and biotechnology production and development campus. Lifecycle is currently updating the facility to serve as its global headquarters and sales offices as well as its production and development hub. The company expects to relocate from Fort Worth, Texas by Q3 2020. Lifecycle also plans to build an additional 30,000 square feet on the property to be used as its warehouse and development laboratory for expanding its current operations.

“With our recent divestment of our protein company, we are now able to focus and invest in the future of our technologies,” said Cody Yarborough, CEO for Lifecycle Biotechnologies. “We are intimate with multiple life science markets, especially biopharmaceuticals, regenerative medicine, and cellular agriculture and have several products we are launching over the next 36 months. We just don’t have the space to house the employees and equipment for our innovative manufacturing at our current sites and I want to have our leaders hands-on. The city of Cleburne has been an accommodating partner, so I want to invest here.”

Ronald Gohdes, VP of Engineering, added “This will be a unique facility in that the production area is designed to quickly pivot to changing manufacturing schemes due to market needs while under strict controls. We will not only house our chemical, reagent, and media operations, but also include precision packaging of sensitive powdered biochemicals and bring with it the addition of cell culture capabilities.”

Further plans regarding how Lifecycle will expand its current capabilities in Loveland, Colorado and in San Antonio, Texas will be forthcoming. This announcement comes after the company announced the official integration of Chata and VI Plastics to a single, unified company under Lifecycle Biotechnologies earlier this year. This new facility along with the recent integration will create a seamless experience for all of Lifecycle’s partners, system wide, and will ensure access to the quality, service, and expertise expected from Lifecycle.
