Doceree launches The NEXT Marketing Lab – a data innovation opportunity for pharma marketers – at Digital Pharma East 2023

Doceree Inc

Doceree, a global platform building unprecedented solutions for HCP programmatic marketing with proprietary data tools, today announced yet another pathbreaking measure for the life sciences industry, The NEXT Marketing Lab. The innovation lab dedicates itself to addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the pharmaceutical sector: data intricacies, especially rigid data silos, that hinder commercial team collaboration, informed decision-making, next-gen research and clinical transformation. Curated for Doceree clients, who will gain exclusive access to the solution, The NEXT Marketing Lab will use proprietary cross-functional collaboration methodologies to identify tailored, next generation data strategies and solutions that maximize outcomes. As a well-known global pharma tech company built around proprietary technology and data tools, Doceree aims to revolutionize data solutions that marketing, sales and access teams can use to plan, deliver, and scale HCP communications backed by timely actionable insights. “The pharma landscape has evolved drastically with the industry waking up to the new reality of digital and incorporating the same into its fold to target HCPs across online platforms. The new scenario is a lot different from how data was traditionally collected in a controlled manner. The digital push has led to innumerable, vast and unstructured HCP datasets that are difficult to exploit for valuable insights that can drive key business decisions to make HCP communications more effective in terms of precision, timing and relevancy,” said Harshit Jain MD, Founder & Global CEO, Doceree. “We are guided by the vision of transforming the pharma messaging landscape. It is with this intent we have launched our latest initiative to break big data silos and bring value to pharma marketing by structuring scattered datapoints. As opposed to how unreal big data in the pharma sector may have looked, it is now a reality the industry can’t escape, and its potential can’t be ignored. The lab will greatly facilitate marketers to use and share data with ease and work with HCP datasets holistically to enhance internal and external collaborations to support innovation. This is the kind of value creation we aim to make for our partners as we assist them in their business growth.” Backed by a team of experts with extensive experience in pharmaceutical marketing, medical, consulting, data science, and technology, Doceree will engage with life sciences companies to explore and customize data strategies and solutions that align to their unique needs.

Upcoming Phase 2 Data Expected For Longeveron’s (NASDAQ: LGVN) Drug For the $4+ Billion Alzheimer’s Sector – What To Look For

LONGEVERON INC.

By David Willey, Benzinga Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN), a clinical-stage biopharma developing potential treatments for age-related and life-threatening diseases, is expecting data from its phase 2a trial for its Lomecel-B™ cellular drug in the next 3 to 4 months. Longeveron’s primary drug candidate, a cell-based medicine, is being tested for several indications, including Aging-related Frailty, a rare pediatric disease called hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is running phase 2 trials for each of these conditions and expects to announce top-line results for the AD trial soon. A previous clinical study indicated that Lomecel-B’s™ mechanisms of action (MoA) had the potential to affect multiple AD markers simultaneously, such as reducing neuroinflammation, improving neural blood vessels, and decreasing the brain damage that comes from AD. According to Longeveron, other potential therapies being tested mainly target amyloid plaques or neurofibrillary tangles. Longeveron uses medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) that may cross the blood-brain barrier (based on results from animal studies) and are primarily aimed at downregulating inflammation, which is a pathway associated with AD’s neurodegeneration, including memory loss. Longeveron completed a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 1 trial that tested for safety as a primary objective, as well as potential efficacy. The trial saw no serious adverse events and indicated a statistically significant improvement in cognition in the patients. Importantly, the trial showed that Lomecel-B™ did not appear to cause ARIA (Alzheimer’s Related Imaging Abnormality), a serious potential side effect of some AD treatments. These results led to Longeveron initiating a phase 2 trial late in 2022, a 41-week trial on 48 patients with mild AD. The primary objective for the trial is safety, though the Company is exploring signals for multiple secondary endpoints, including cognitive measures, the AD assessment scale for cognitive function (ADAS-Cog), and inflammatory biomarkers. In addition, the trial is also designed to test whether repeat dosing of Lomecel-B™ may produce greater drug efficacy. The Company anticipates that if the trial is successful and shows efficacy, there is the potential for Lomecel-B™ to be developed as a disease-modifying treatment for AD. Longeveron’s Position In An Active Market By developing Lomecel-B™ as a potential treatment for AD, Longeveron is positioning itself for potential success in a growing sector. With over 6 million Americans suffering from AD in 2021, there is a drive in the pharmaceutical sector to develop a range of treatments for the disease. Multiple companies are currently attempting to develop treatments, while others have received accelerated approval for their drugs from the FDA. The global market for Alzheimer’s Disease therapies was worth $4.05 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 20% from 2023 to 2030. In 2021, Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) received accelerated approval from the FDA for its drug Aducanumab. Acumen Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ABOS) has completed a phase 1 trial for the drug ACU193, and Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ: TLSA) has filed an investigational new drug (IND) application for its drug, Foralumab, for its AD indications. Follow developments from Longeveron’s cell-based therapies on its website. We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for aging-related and life-threatening conditions.Our lead investigational product is Lomecel-B™, which is derived from culture-expanded medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) that are sourced from bone marrow of young healthy adult donors. We believe that by using the same cells that promote tissue repair, organ maintenance, and immune system function, we can develop safe and effective therapies for some of the most difficult diseases and conditions associated with aging.

Newport Beach Plastic Surgeons Dr. Joseph Cerni and Dr. Nadir Qazi Sued for Fraud and Retention of Stolen Property

Stone LLP

Karen A. Sunday & Associates Inc., a well-regarded commercial real estate broker, recently filed a multi-count lawsuit against Dr. Joseph S. Cerni and Dr. Nadir Qazi, along with their affiliated medical practices and others, for failing to pay, and unlawfully withholding, an earned real estate commission. The lawsuit alleges fraud, breach of contract and unlawful retention of stolen property, among other counts. According to the lawsuit, in May 2022, Dr. Nadir Qazi reached out to Karen Sunday, President of Karen A. Sunday & Associates, seeking her expertise to acquire a building for his Newport Beach cosmetic surgery practice, the Qazi Cosmetic Center. Responding quickly, Sunday reached out to one of her long-time clients, well-known Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Joseph S. Cerni, owner of Forever Ageless in Newport Beach, inquiring about his interest in selling his office to Qazi. According to court documents, in July 2022, Sunday sent a binding letter of intent to both doctors for the sale of the building, located at 20271 Southwest Birch Street, Suite 100, in Newport Beach with a sale price of $4.75 million. The lawsuit contains various transactional details, including the purchase price, deposit contingencies, escrow conditions, and most crucially, the broker commission. As part of the agreement, Sunday was set to receive a 4% commission from Cerni. Additionally, Court documents allege Qazi was to pay an additional 2% commission for his participation in the transaction. Neither Cerni nor Qazi ever paid for the brokerage services rendered by Sunday and instead aided and abetted each other by unlawfully withholding Sunday’s earned commission. According to the complaint on file in Orange County Superior Court, when the sale closed in December 2022, both Dr. Cerni and Dr. Qazi reneged on their commitment, denying Sunday her rightfully earned commission totaling $285,000. The lawsuit sheds light on the doctors’ intentional deceit, alleging they misled Sunday with a promise to pay their respective commissions to Sunday upon the close of escrow yet failed to do so. The lawsuit seeks damages of no less than $4 million, citing California’s fraud statute in addition to the breach of contract claims. Sunday is represented by Elliott H. Stone, Esq., of Stone LLP, in Irvine California. The lawsuit names among the defendants: Joseph S. Cerni, D.O. a Professional Corporation, JSC Holdings LLC, Rockitgram LLC, Belle Vie Wellness and Medical Aesthetics Inc., Beautiful Reflections Inc., Forever Ageless, Inc., Nubella Med Spa, Inc., Pure Fix Medical Institute, Inc., Qazcorp, Qazi Cosmetic and Monumental Investments LLC.
