Endogenex reports results on ReCET system for type 2 diabetes management
Endogenex, a company focused on developing medical devices for type 2 diabetes management, has shared results from its REGENT-1 clinical study during the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025 event held in San Diego, US.
The study evaluated the safety and feasibility of the Endogenex pulsed electric field system (ReCET system) in the US and Australia.
The system is an investigational endoscopic outpatient procedure that employs non-thermal energy to address inflamed and dysfunctional tissue linked to type 2 diabetic duodenopathy.
This treatment aims to regenerate healthy cells in the mucosal and sub-mucosal layers of the duodenum, which plays a crucial role in metabolic processes.
Endogenex CEO Stacey Pugh said: 'The REGENT-1 study continues to deliver promising results, reinforcing the ReCET System's potential as a transformative treatment for type 2 diabetes.
'We have known for some time that the duodenum plays an important role in type 2 diabetes, and these new data– along with other cutting-edge analyses being presented here at DDW – illuminate and reinforce the duodenum as a novel target in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.'
The findings from the REGENT-1 Australia study indicated notable enhancements in insulin sensitivity and beta cell function at 12 weeks.
Improvements sustained at 48 weeks in a dose-responsive manner, indicating the 'durability' of the treatment, according to the company.
The study reported a procedural success rate of 100%, with no serious adverse events related to the device or the procedure, according to the company
REGENT-1 study lead author Dr Barham Abu Dayyeh said: 'These findings reinforce that the duodenal mucosa and submucosa are critical therapeutic targets for advancing type 2 diabetes treatment and disease management.
'These results lay the groundwork for further studies, and we are eager to expand the clinical evidence base.'
In June 2024, Endogenex closed an oversubscribed Series C financing round, securing $88m to complete the ReCET clinical study.

2025 ASCO ｜Oral Presentation: Disitamab Vedotin Achieves Stellar Efficacy as First-Line Therapy for HER2-Expressing Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer
YANTAI, China, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 2 (Chicago time), in an oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, Dr. Lin Shen from Beijing Cancer Hospital presented the results of a Phase 2 clinical study conducted in China evaluating the efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin (DV), developed by Remegen Co., Ltd., and toripalimab (PD-1) combined with CAPOX or trastuzumab as the first-line therapy for HER2-expressing patients with locally advanced or metastatic (la/m) gastric cancer. Comparing to the control group who received standard-of-care therapy, the DV combination therapy demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy improvement, potentially to benefit patients who are non-responders to traditional targeted therapies. The data presented are from the Phase 2 part of a randomized, multi-cohort, seamlessly connecting Phase 2/3 study, which enrolled systematic chemotherapy-native patients with different HER2 expression levels. As of April 7, 2025, the results showed: Among HER2-overexpressing gastric cancer patients, compared to the PD-1-trastuzumab-CAPOX combination therapy, DV and PD-1 + chemotherapy as well as DV and PD-1 + trastuzumab both demonstrated statistically significant efficacy and favorable safety profiles. Objective response rate (ORR): 66.7% vs 82.4% vs 68.8%; Median progression-free survival (mPFS): NR vs NR vs 14.1 months, with risk of disease progression decreasing by 54%（HR=0.46）and 41% (HR: 0.59); 12-month PFS rate: 66.3%, 67% and 53.6%； Common TRAEs of grade 3-5: diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, etc. In patients with HER2-low-expressing gastric cancer, promising efficacy was observed with DV + PD-1 + CAPOX comparing to PD-1 + CAPOX, with a manageable safety profile. ORR: 72.0% vs 47.8%; mPFS: 9.9 vs 7.2 months, with risk of disease progression decreasing by 31% (HR: 0.69); Common TRAEs of grade 3-5: diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, etc. Dose optimization conducted in patients with HER2-median/low-expressing gastric cancer. Compared to PD-1 + CAPOX, DV at 2.5 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg combined with PD-1 + reduced-dose CAPOX showed significant efficacy, and better safety over the full-dose chemotherapy. ORR: 71.4% vs 66.7% vs 56.3%; 6-month PFS rate: 71.4%，72.7% and 53.3%. Globally, this is the first study to explore the triple combination therapy of "HER2 ADC + PD-1 + targeted medication" as first-line treatment of patients with la/m gastric cancer, pioneering a new mode of synergistic therapy. The multi-cohort design of this study provides precision treatment regimen for gastric cancer patients with different level of HER2 expression. For the HER2-overexpressing gastric cancer patients, DV + PD-1 + trastuzumab has the potential to become the new standard first-line treatment; for the HER2-low-expressing gastric cancer patients, DV + PD-1 + chemotherapy has the potential to fill the treatment gap of these patients. Based on the data obtained from the phase 2 study, the phase 3 clinical study of the triple combination therapy in patients with HER2-median/low-expressing gastric cancer has been initiated in April, 2025, in which 616 participants were planned to be enrolled, to further validate the efficacy of the DV combination therapy. Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world, and China accounts for about 42.6% of new cases and 45.0% of deaths worldwide. HER2 is an important target in the treatment of gastric cancer, while the traditional targeted drug trastuzumab is only effective in the population with high expression (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/FISH+), and can easily become resistant. There is a lack of effective targeted therapy options for patients with low/median HER2 expression (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/FISH-), and the efficacy of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is not satisfactory. As the first domestic HER2-targeted ADC drug in China, DV not only precisely kills tumor cells with HER2 over expression but also attacks adjacent cells with HER2 low expression through the bystander effect. Preclinical studies have also shown that the combination of DV with PD-1 inhibitor and trastuzumab can enhance anti-tumor activity.

Pennsylvania pediatricians advocate against Medicaid cuts in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM)– Pediatricians from across Pennsylvania are at the state capitol today for a day of advocacy and education. The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics is in Harrisburg to address how proposed Medicaid cuts would impact children. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 1 in May, and some pediatricians in Pennsylvania believe that healthcare for children would be negatively impacted if it becomes law. According to the PA Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Medicaid covers 35% of births in the state. Additionally, it covers dental and hearing services, provides care for children with special healthcare needs, and covers other things private insurance doesn't. The pediatricians also said Medicaid cuts would lead to poor or no access to pediatricians and a lack of children being vaccinated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

ASCO 2025: Trodelvy and Keytruda to become new standard of care for frontline TNBC
At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, held 30 May-3 June 2025, primary results were presented from the ASCENT-04/KEYNOTE-D19 study investigating Gilead's Trodelvy, a trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP 2)-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab), versus standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1-positive (CPS ≥10) metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study aimed to determine whether the addition of Trodelvy, currently approved in the third-line setting for TNBC, could enhance the efficacy of Keytruda in the first-line treatment of this aggressive breast cancer subtype. The data demonstrated an improvement in median progression-free survival (PFS), with 11.2 months observed in the ADC-immunotherapy combination arm compared to 7.8 months in the SOC arm, at a median follow-up of 14 months. Notably, patients receiving Trodelvy and Keytruda experienced a 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64). The combination also achieved a higher overall response rate (60% versus 53%) and a longer duration of response (16.5 months versus 9.2 months) compared to SOC. The frequency of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) was comparable between arms; however, only 12% of patients discontinued treatment due to AEs in the Trodelvy-Keytruda arm versus 31% in the SOC arm. These findings support the expectation that Trodelvy combined with Keytruda will become the new SOC in PD-L1-positive TNBC, shifting the frontline treatment paradigm from chemoimmunotherapy to ADC-based immunotherapy - a growing trend across tumour types in the metastatic setting. Gilead is positioning itself as a key player in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer, currently sponsoring several Phase III trials evaluating Trodelvy: as monotherapy for frontline metastatic TNBC patients ineligible for PD-L1-based therapy (ASCENT-03); in combination with Keytruda in early-stage TNBC (ASCENT-05); and in HR-positive patients previously treated with endocrine therapy (ASCENT-07). GlobalData's analyst consensus forecast projects Trodelvy sales to reach $2.2bn by 2030. Gilead will face competition in the frontline PD-L1-ineligible TNBC setting from Daiichi Sankyo's TROP-2-directed ADC, Datroway, currently in Phase III (TROPION-BREAST02), and Bristol Myers Squibb's izalontamab brengitecan, a bispecific EGFRxHER3 ADC entering Phase III in July. Nevertheless, following the positive ASCENT-04 results, Gilead is expected to secure US Food and Drug Administration approval and capture a significant share of the frontline PD-L1-positive TNBC market.
