Liver Medic Founder Launches UnconventionalMedicine Podcast to Help Patients Get to the Root Cause of Chronic Illness
Coral Springs, Florida, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liver Medic founder and molecular cell biologist Brendan Gaughran has launched a groundbreaking podcast, UnconventionalMedicine, with co-host Dr. Jason DuBois, a clinical pharmacist and immunologist. The show offers viewers an empowering resource for exploring evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical approaches to health challenges, may it be for insomnia, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, or Lyme disease.
The podcast aims to be a trusted resource for those who feel left behind by the conventional medical system. 'We're talking to the people who have done everything their doctors told them to do, but they're still sick,' says Gaughran. 'They've gone from pill to pill, and they're still not getting better.'
Each episode features thought leaders, researchers, and practitioners in alternative medicine who offer practical, science-backed approaches to health. Gaughran and DuBois use their medical backgrounds to cut through misinformation and elevate voices that focus on root causes.
'There's a lot of noise out there in the alternative health world,' said Gaughran. 'We're here to filter through it and highlight the people who are actually making a difference.'
In a recent episode, Gaughran and DuBois interviewed Joel Salatin who detailed how industrial agriculture has destroyed soil health and contributed to the nutritional depletion of the food supply, a hidden driver behind America's chronic disease crisis. The conversation traced connections between pesticide-laced crops, antibiotic-overloaded meat, and the nation's inability to fight off illness or maintain metabolic health. Another popular episode explored the obesity crisis in America through the eyes of a doctor with over 15 years of expertise.
Unlike many health shows that target professionals, UnconventionalMedicine is made for patients. Gaughran and DuBois design each episode to be clear, accessible, and grounded in evidence, striking a balance between scientific rigor and everyday language.
'We know people are overwhelmed,' says Gaughran. 'That's why we do the homework for them, dig into the research, ask the hard questions, and give them tools they can use right away.'
The format is simple but effective: a pre-recorded, interview-style discussion with experts from fields like pediatric care, cardiology, nutrition, and functional medicine. Gaughran and DuBois bring in statistics, bust myths, and push for clarity. Each guest provides not only insight but real, actionable advice for listeners.
Gaughran is also writing a long-anticipated book that distills his lectures and research into a practical guide for patients. Over the last decade, he's spoken to thousands across the country, from health food stores to public health forums, and noticed consistent patterns in patient struggles.
'Whether it's thyroid issues, chronic fatigue, or digestive problems, the core issues often trace back to the same systems, gut health, liver function, mineral deficiencies,' he says. 'The book will offer small but powerful lifestyle shifts that can help reverse or even prevent many of these problems.'
Gaughran emphasizes that many people are unknowingly nutrient deficient due to long-term prescription drug use, which can block the absorption of key minerals like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins. 'What they think is a thyroid problem might actually be poor liver detox or gut dysbiosis,' he says. 'The key is to stop treating symptoms in isolation and look at the whole system.'
UnconventionalMedicine is currently available on YouTube, with plans to expand to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major platforms in the coming months. The show releases episodes regularly and invites both patients and practitioners to join the conversation.
'We're here to be a lifeline for people who've run out of options,' Gaughran says. 'We want to show that there are other paths to healing, ones that are grounded in science, compassion, and the willingness to ask better questions.'

Celldex Presents Unprecedented 76 Week Results from Barzolvolimab Phase 2 Study in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria at EAACI Congress 2025
Seven months after the completion of dosing: 41% of patients (150 mg Q4W) continue to experience complete response (UAS7=0) 48% of patients (150 mg Q4W) report that CSU no longer impacts their quality of life (DLQI=0/1) KIT related tolerability events demonstrated to be reversible Enrollment to Phase 3 CSU trials ongoing Company to host webcast today at 6:00 pm ET HAMPTON, N.J., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celldex (NASDAQ:CLDX) announced today new data demonstrating profound, sustained complete response and improved quality of life at 76 weeks, 7 months after the completion of dosing with barzolvolimab in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), an immune-related condition driven by mast cell activation. Barzolvolimab specifically targets mast cells by binding the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibiting its activity, which is required for mast cell function and survival. The data are being presented in a late breaking oral presentation (#100227) at the EAACI Congress 2025. The Company previously announced that this Phase 2 study of barzolvolimab in patients with moderate to severe CSU refractory to antihistamines, including patients with biologic-refractory disease, met its primary endpoint—a significant improvement in UAS7 compared to placebo at 12 weeks—across all dose groups tested. Barzolvolimab also demonstrated rapid, profound complete response rates (UAS7=0; no itch/no hives) in up to 51% of patients at 12 weeks, which continued to deepen over 52 weeks of active therapy to up to 71% of patients. Seven months after completion of dosing, patients continue to experience profound clinical benefit, with up to 41% of patients reporting a complete response at 76 weeks and 48% of patients reporting that their disease no longer impacts their quality of life. Barzolvolimab demonstrated a well tolerated safety profile throughout the study. 'In this large Phase 2 study, patients on barzolvolimab experienced rapid, profound, durable complete response which correlated with meaningful improvements in quality of life—the goal of treatment for patients and physicians,' said Martin Metz, M.D., Professor, Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Head of Translational Research and Deputy Head of Clinical Trials at Charité – Universitätsmedizin in Berlin and the lead investigator of the study. 'By addressing the root driver of chronic spontaneous urticaria, the mast cell, barzolvolimab provided meaningful clinical benefit to more than 90% of the patients on study, including patients with severe disease refractory to omalizumab, and demonstrated a level of sustained complete response after the completion of active therapy that is unprecedented in CSU. Importantly, across this large, 76 week Phase 2 trial, barzolvolimab also presented a favorable safety profile, further supporting barzolvolimab's significant potential to become a transformative treatment option for patients suffering from this often very severe and debilitating disease.' Data highlights at 76 weeks (7 months/28 weeks after completion of barzolvolimab treatment) Rapid, profound improvements in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) were reported as early as one week after dosing. Barzolvolimab achieved the primary efficacy endpoint, a statistically significant mean change from baseline to Week 12 in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) compared to placebo, at all dose levels. These improvements were sustained or deepened at Week 52 and continued to Week 76. UAS7 mean change from baseline at Week 76 was -20.42 for patients treated with 150 mg Q4W and -21.10 for patients treated with 300 mg Q8W. 41% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 35% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W had a complete response (no itch/hives; UAS7=0) at Week 76. 56% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 47% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W had well controlled disease (UAS7≤6) at Week 76. 48% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 40% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W reported that CSU had no impact on their quality of life at 76 weeks as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Current clinical guidelines recommend complete response (UAS7=0) as the goal of treatment1 and achieving complete response is directly correlated to the greatest improvements in quality of life for patients2. These robust responses and improvements in quality of life were observed regardless of prior omalizumab experience. Barzolvolimab was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile through 76 weeks. The most common adverse events were grade 1 (mild), mechanism related (KIT) and reversible. No new safety signals were identified during the follow-up period. As previously disclosed, neutropenia events resolved rapidly and while still receiving barzolvolimab treatment and there was no association between neutropenia and infections. As expected, neutrophil counts returned to baseline following the completion of barzolvolimab treatment and the mild hair color changes and skin hypopigmentation observed on study were demonstrated to be reversible following discontinuation of treatment. 'At every analysis across multiple endpoints in this Phase 2 study, barzolvolimab has demonstrated best in disease data, suggesting barzolvolimab holds great promise as a transformational treatment for patients suffering from CSU— a disease of misery that often impacts all aspects of patients' lives,' said Diane C. Young, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Celldex. 'On behalf of Celldex, I want to thank the patients and physicians who participated in this study. We remain diligently focused on executing across our clinical trials to bring this potential important new medicine to patients.' Results presented at the EAACI Congress 2025 are available on the "Publications' page of the "Science" section of the Celldex website. 1Zuberbier T, et al. Allergy, 2022; 2Kolkhir P, et al. JACI, 2023 Webcast The Company will host a conference call/webcast today to discuss the results at 6:00 pm ET.

Parties interested in participating via telephone may register here to receive the dial-in numbers and unique PIN to seamlessly access the call. Otherwise please access the listen-only webcast link. The archived webcast will be available for a limited time on the Company's website. About BarzolvolimabBarzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity. KIT is expressed in a variety of cells, including mast cells, which mediate inflammatory responses such as hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. KIT signaling controls the differentiation, tissue recruitment, survival and activity of mast cells. In certain inflammatory diseases, such as chronic urticaria, mast cell activation plays a central role in the onset and progression of the disease. Barzolvolimab is currently being studied in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), prurigo nodularis (PN), eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) and atopic dermatitis (AD), with additional indications planned for the future. About the Phase 2 CSU StudyThe randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy, to determine the optimal dosing strategy. 208 patients were randomly assigned on a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 75 mg every 4 weeks, 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or placebo during a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment period. After 16 weeks, patients then entered a 36-week active treatment period, in which patients receiving placebo or the 75 mg dose were randomized to receive barzolvolimab 150 mg every 4 weeks or 300 mg every 8 weeks; patients already randomized to the 150 mg and 300 mg treatment arms remained on the same regimen as during the placebo-controlled treatment period. After 52 weeks, patients enter a follow-up period for an additional 24 weeks. Barzolvolimab achieved the primary efficacy endpoint of the study—a statistically significant mean change from baseline to week 12 in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) compared to placebo at all dose levels. For additional information on this trial (NCT05368285), please visit About the Phase 3 ProgramCelldex is currently conducting a global Phase 3 Program for barzolvolimab in CSU, consisting of two Phase 3 trials (EMBARQ-CSU1; NCT06445023 and EMBARQ-CSU2; NCT06455202) designed to establish the efficacy and safety of barzolvolimab in adult patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. The studies also include patients who remain symptomatic after treatment with biologics. Enrollment is underway. About Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)CSU is characterized by the occurrence of hives or wheals for 6 weeks or longer without identifiable specific triggers or causes. The activation of the mast cells in the skin (release of histamines, leukotrienes, chemokines) results in episodes of itchy hives, swelling and inflammation of the skin that can go on for years or even decades. Current therapies provide symptomatic relief only in some patients. About Celldex Celldex is pioneering new horizons in immunology to deliver life-changing therapies. We are relentless in our pursuit of novel antibody-based treatments that engage the human immune system and directly affect critical pathways to improve the lives of patients with allergic, inflammatory and autoimmune Forward Looking StatementThis release contains "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Syndax Announces Publication of Revumenib Data from the BEAT AML Trial in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and Simultaneous Presentation at EHA 2025
– Revumenib was generally well-tolerated in combination with venetoclax/azacitidine in older, newly diagnosed mNPM1 and KMT2Ar AML patients – – Promising clinical activity and deep responses observed with 67% (29/43) CR rate, 88% (38/43) ORR, and 100% (37/37) MRD negativity among responders – – Enrollment underway in pivotal Ph 3 EVOLVE-2 trial evaluating revumenib with ven/aza in newly diagnosed mNPM1 AML patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy – NEW YORK, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syndax Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SNDX), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing innovative cancer therapies, today announced that data from the BEAT AML trial of revumenib in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine (ven/aza) in newly diagnosed mutant NPM1 (mNPM1) and KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2Ar) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and simultaneously presented in an oral session at the 30th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress Meeting being held June 12-15, 2025, in Milan, Italy and virtually. 'The data observed in BEAT AML underscore the potential for revumenib with ven/aza to improve outcomes for newly diagnosed mNPM1 or KMT2Ar AML patients who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy, a population that continues to face poor long-term outcomes despite recent advances,' said Nick Botwood, M.B.B.S., Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer at Syndax. 'These data, along with the results from other trials of revumenib in different settings, highlight revumenib's potential to become a cornerstone therapy for all menin-dependent acute leukemias across the treatment continuum.' 'These data support the ability to combine revumenib with ven/aza in the frontline setting and the clinical activity observed highlights the potential for the triplet to provide high rates of complete remission and MRD-negativity, two treatment goals associated with improved clinical outcomes,' said Joshua F. Zeidner, M.D., Chief, Leukemia Research at the University of North Carolina, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Principal Investigator in the BEAT AML trial. 'Overall, the data we observed in BEAT AML are very encouraging and suggest that the ongoing EVOLVE-2 pivotal frontline trial evaluating the triplet in unfit mNPM1 AML patients could deliver practice-changing results.' Summary of Results from BEAT AML Phase 1 Trial The publication and EHA presentation report updated results from the Phase 1b BEAT AML trial evaluating the safety and clinical activity of revumenib in combination with venetoclax/azacitidine in newly diagnosed older adults (≥60 years) with mNPM1 or KMT2Ar AML. The trial is being conducted as part of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Beat AML® Master Clinical Trial (NCT03013998). As of September 2024, 43 patients were enrolled and treated in BEAT AML across two dose levels of revumenib (113 mg q12 or 163 mg q12h with strong CYP3A4 inhibitor azoles) in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine. Overall, 79% (34/43) of patients had mNPM1 AML and 21% (9/43) had KMT2Ar AML. The median age was 70 years (range: 60-92) and 40% were ≥75 years. Revumenib was generally well tolerated at both dose levels in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine without a maximal tolerated dose identified. The most common overall non-hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were nausea (60%), constipation (53%), QTc prolongation (44%), hypokalemia (44%), and vomiting (42%). Overall Grade ≥3 non-hematologic AEs were rare and similar between both dose levels. In the intent-to-treat population, the observed rate of complete remission (CR) was 67% (29/43), composite complete remission (CRc) was 81% (35/43), and the overall response rate (ORR) was 88% (38/43). Among 37 patients with measurable residual disease (MRD) response assessment, 100% were MRD negative by centralized flow cytometry testing (sensitivity of 0.02%). The median duration of CRc was 12.0 months (95% CI: 7.8-not reached). 23% (10/43) of patients had proceeded to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as of the February 2025 data cut off. In an early analysis of survival from this single-arm trial (median follow-up of 6.9 months), the median overall survival (OS) observed was 15.5 months (95% CI: 9.5-19.5). Subset analysis showed a CRc rate of 77% and an observed median OS of 15.5 months in mNPM1 patients with intermediate risk by ELN 2024 (n=17), and a CRc rate of 89% and observed median OS of 18.0 months in KMT2Ar patients (n=9). In contrast, historical data from newly diagnosed mNPM1 patients with intermediate risk treated with venetoclax and azacitidine show a CRc of 57% and median OS of 9.9 months.1 In newly diagnosed KMT2Ar AML patients treated with venetoclax and hypomethylating agent therapy, a CRc rate of 43% and median OS of 2.5 months was observed in a retrospective analysis.2 About Revuforj® (revumenib) Revuforj (revumenib) is an oral, first-in-class, selective menin inhibitor that is FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute leukemia with a lysine methyltransferase 2A gene (KMT2A) translocation in adult and pediatric patients one year and older. Revumenib is in development for the treatment of R/R acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a nucleophosmin 1 mutation (mNPM1). Positive pivotal data from the AUGMENT-101 trial in this population with revumenib as a monotherapy were recently published and the Company completed the submission of a supplemental NDA for revumenib in R/R mNPM1 AML in April 2025. Additionally, multiple trials of revumenib in combination with standard-of-care agents in mNPM1 AML or KMT2A-rearranged acute leukemia are ongoing or planned across the treatment landscape, including in newly diagnosed patients. Revumenib was previously granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of AML, ALL and acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) by the U.S. FDA and for the treatment of AML by the European Commission. The U.S. FDA also granted Fast Track designation to revumenib for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemias harboring a KMT2A rearrangement or NPM1 mutation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemia harboring a KMT2A rearrangement. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, has occurred with Revuforj. Signs and symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, pleural or pericardial effusions, rapid weight gain or peripheral edema, hypotension, and renal dysfunction. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, immediately initiate corticosteroid therapy and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Differentiation syndrome: Revuforj can cause fatal or life-threatening differentiation syndrome (DS). Symptoms of DS, including those seen in patients treated with Revuforj, include fever, dyspnea, hypoxia, peripheral edema, pleuropericardial effusion, acute renal failure, and/or hypotension. In clinical trials, DS occurred in 39 (29%) of 135 patients treated with Revuforj. DS was Grade 3 or 4 in 13% of patients and fatal in one. The median time to onset was 10 days (range 3-41 days). Some patients experienced more than 1 DS event. Treatment interruption was required for 7% of patients, and treatment was withdrawn for 1%. Reduce the white blood cell count to less than 25 Gi/L prior to starting Revuforj. If DS is suspected, immediately initiate treatment with systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10-mg IV every 12 hours in adults or dexamethasone 0.25-mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours in pediatric patients weighing less than 40 kg) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement. Interrupt Revuforj if severe signs and/or symptoms persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of systemic corticosteroids, or earlier if life-threatening symptoms occur such as pulmonary symptoms requiring ventilator support. Restart steroids promptly if DS recurs after tapering corticosteroids. QTc interval prolongation: In the clinical trials, QTc interval prolongation was reported as an adverse reaction in 39 (29%) of 135 patients treated with Revuforj. QTc interval prolongation was Grade 3 in 12% of patients. The heart-rate corrected QT interval (using Fridericia's method) (QTcF) was greater than 500 msec in 8%, and the increase from baseline QTcF was greater than 60 msec in 18%. Revuforj dose reduction was required for 5% of patients due to QTc interval prolongation. QTc prolongation occurred in 16% of the 31 patients less than 17 years old, 33% of the 88 patients 17 years to less than 65 years old, and in 50% of the 16 patients 65 years or older. Correct electrolyte abnormalities, including hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, prior to treatment with Revuforj. Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to initiation of Revuforj, and do not initiate Revuforj in patients with QTcF >450 msec. Perform an ECG at least once weekly for the first 4 weeks and at least monthly thereafter. In patients with congenital long QTc syndrome, congestive heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities, or those who are taking medications known to prolong the QTc interval, more frequent ECG monitoring may be necessary. Concomitant use with drugs known to prolong the QTc interval may increase the risk of QTc interval prolongation. Interrupt Revuforj if QTcF increases >480 msec and <500 msec, and restart Revuforj at the same dose twice daily after the QTcF interval returns to ≤480 msec Interrupt Revuforj if QTcF increases >500 msec or by >60 msec from baseline, and restart Revuforj twice daily at the lower-dose level after the QTcF interval returns to ≤480 msec Permanently discontinue Revuforj in patients with ventricular arrhythmias and in those who develop QTc interval prolongation with signs or symptoms of life-threatening arrhythmia. Embryo-fetal toxicity: Revuforj can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential and males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Revuforj and for 4 months after the last dose of Revuforj. ADVERSE REACTIONS Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4 (3%) patients who received Revuforj, including 2 with differentiation syndrome, 1 with hemorrhage, and 1 with sudden death. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 99 (73%) patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥5%) were infection (24%), febrile neutropenia (19%), bacterial infection (17%), differentiation syndrome (12%), hemorrhage (9%), and thrombosis (5%). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) including laboratory abnormalities, were hemorrhage (53%), nausea (51%), phosphate increased (50%), musculoskeletal pain (42%), infection (41%), aspartate aminotransferase increased (37%), febrile neutropenia (35%), alanine aminotransferase increased (33%), parathyroid hormone intact increased (33%), bacterial infection (31%), diarrhea (30%), differentiation syndrome (29%), electrocardiogram QT prolonged (29%), phosphate decreased (25%), triglycerides increased (25%), potassium decreased (24%), decreased appetite (24%), constipation (23%), edema (23%), viral infection (23%), fatigue (22%), and alkaline phosphatase increased (21%). DRUG INTERACTIONS Drug interactions can occur when Revuforj is concomitantly used with: Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: reduce Revuforj dose Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers: avoid concomitant use with Revuforj QTc-prolonging drugs: avoid concomitant use with Revuforj. If concomitant use is unavoidable, obtain ECGs when initiating, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated. Withhold Revuforj if the QTc interval is >480 msec. Restart Revuforj after the QTc interval returns to ≤480 msec. SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment with Revuforj and for 1 week after the last dose. Pregnancy and testing: Revuforj can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential within 7 days prior to initiating Revuforj. Pediatric: monitor bone growth and development in pediatric patients. Geriatric: compared to younger patients, the incidences of QTc prolongation and edema were higher in patients 65 years and older. Infertility: based on findings in animals, Revuforj may impair fertility. The effects on fertility were reversible.
