Greene County worries for citizens mental health after tornado
GREENE COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Following Friday night's damaging storms and EF-2 tornado in Greene County, local officials are discussing the importance of taking care of mental health.
The Linton Assembly of God Church has counseling available for people who may be struggling during this time. Greene County EMA Director Roger Axe encourages people to lean on others for support.
'They have to realize that they are not alone. A lot of times people feel alone because this is not talked about. It's a stigma,' said Axe.
Organizations are also providing essential resources to those impacted, such as food and water. Those supplies are available at the former National Guard Armory in Linton.

Immix Biopharma Announces Primary Endpoint Met in positive NXC-201 Interim Results Presented at ASCO, Enabling Path to Best-in-Class Therapy for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis
Immix Biopharma today presented results at ASCO from its U.S. multi-center NEXICART-2 Phase 1/2 clinical trial of NXC-201, meeting its primary endpoint. – NXC-201 met primary endpoint with a complete response (CR) rate of 70% (7/10 patients) – – No relapses recorded to-date; no safety signals identified – – Immix plans Biologics License Application (BLA) for FDA approval – – Results were presented by Heather Landau, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center – – KOL event to discuss significance Tuesday, June 3, 2025 3:00pm ET after ASCO presentation: – LOS ANGELES, CA, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immix Biopharma, Inc. ('ImmixBio', 'Company', 'We' or 'Us' or 'IMMX'), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing cell therapies for AL Amyloidosis and other serious diseases, today announced meeting its primary endpoint of complete response (CR) rate for cell therapy NXC-201 at an oral presentation of interim results at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO 2025) in Chicago, Illinois. The oral presentation summarized meeting its interim results endpoint in from the U.S. multi-site NEXICART-2 clinical trial evaluating NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis with a data cutoff of April 11, 2025. A Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event to discuss the significance will be held Tuesday, June 3, 2025 3:00pm ET with live Q&A (register here to participate). 'Meeting primary endpoint at this interim data readout is a testament to the groundbreaking efficacy of NXC-201, as we work toward the first approval in the challenging indication of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis,' said Ilya Rachman, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Immix Biopharma. Gabriel Morris, Chief Financial Officer of Immix Biopharma, added, 'This inflection point further accelerates our progress toward BLA submission for FDA approval.' Immix's Phase 1/2 NEXICART-2 clinical trial is a U.S. multi-site, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NXC-201 in patients who are refractory to, or relapse on treatment for relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. ASCO Presentation ResultsPrior to NXC-201 treatment, the median lines of therapy was 4 (range: 2-12). All patients had baseline relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis organ involvement. After NXC-201 treatment, all patients normalized pathological disease markers. Complete responses (CRs) were observed in 70% (7 out of 10) of patients treated with NXC-201. The remaining 3 patients are bone marrow minimum residual disease (MRD) negative (10-6), predicting future CR (Immix believes remaining three MRD negative (10-6) patients could be confirmed as CRs in the coming weeks and months). Downstream clinical improvement, including cardiac and renal organ responses, were recorded after CRs. There have been no relapses recorded to-date and no safety signals identified. No neurotoxicity has been observed. Only low-grade cytokine release syndrome has been observed. The ASCO presentation contains clinical data as of April 11, 2025. Current treatments typically result in a lower than 10% complete response (CR) rate in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis according to Zanwar, et al 2024, indicating a high unmet medical need. KOL Event to Discuss NXC-201 ASCO Clinical Data PresentationA Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event with lead investigator Heather Landau, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Shahzad Raza, MD of Cleveland Clinic and Jeffrey Zonder, MD of Karmanos Cancer Center will be held Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 3:00 pm ET to discuss these results. Register here: About NEXICART-2NEXICART-2 (NCT06097832) is an ongoing single-arm multi-site U.S. Phase 1/2 clinical trial of sterically-optimized CAR-T NXC-201 in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. NEXICART-2 is expected to enroll 40 patients with preserved heart function (excluding patients with pre-existing heart failure) who have not been exposed to prior BCMA-targeted therapy. The primary endpoint of the Phase 1 portion is safety. The primary endpoint of the Phase 2 portion is efficacy. About NXC-201NXC-201 is a sterically-optimized BCMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy with a 'digital filter' that filters out non-specific activation. Initial data from ex-U.S. study NEXICART-1 has demonstrated high complete response rates in relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis. U.S. Phase 1/2 study NEXICART-2 is ongoing. NXC-201 has been awarded Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) by the FDA, and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the US FDA and in the EU by the EMA. About AL AmyloidosisAL amyloidosis is caused by abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow, which produce misfolded amyloid proteins that circulate in the blood, then build-up in the heart, kidney, liver, and other organs. This build-up causes progressive and widespread organ damage, including heart and renal failure, leading to high mortality rates. The U.S. observed prevalence of relapsed/refractory AL Amyloidosis is estimated to be growing at 12% per year according to Staron, et al Blood Cancer Journal, to approximately 33,277 patients in 2024. The Amyloidosis market was $3.6 billion in 2017, and is expected to reach $6 billion in 2025, according to Grand View Research. About Immix Biopharma, Biopharma, Inc.

Delaney requests $41 million for 6th District
CUMBERLAND — U.S. Rep. April McClain Delaney announced last week that she has requested over $41 million of federal funds for local investments in Maryland's 6th Congressional district for the next fiscal year. Out of the 15 Community Project Funding requests made, seven would support a wide range of efforts in Allegany and Garrett counties, allocating over $7 million in Allegany County and over $8 million in Garrett County, according to a press release. 'I know how important it is to work hand-in-hand with local leaders to achieve real results,' McClain Delaney said in the announc ement. 'Since taking office in January, I've engaged with state and community officials to identify projects that will make the biggest difference and support those who need it most.' Many of the projects would restore water infrastructure, like replacing the water filtration system in Cumberland, which will cost $2 million. 'The existing plant is reaching the end of its useful life and is incapable of addressing emerging contaminants,' Cumberland Mayor Ray Morriss said. 'This grant will allow the city to begin design work on a new Water Filtration Building that will utilize state-of-the-art membrane filtration, which is capable of removing disinfection byproducts as well as emerging contaminants.' About $1.3 million of improvements to Lonaconing's water lines were included in the requests as well. 'This investment in our Western Maryland community will aid in improving the quality of life by ensuring reliable access to clean and safe drinking water for our residents and providing peace of mind by reducing concerns about water quality or potential service disruptions,' Lonaconing Mayor Jack Coburn said. About $6.2 million would go toward other infrastructure projects in the two counties, including improvements on Oakland's water system, a sidewalk and crosswalk safety project in Grantsville and replacing a Potomac Fire Company No. 2 engine. 'Upgrading our aging water and sewer infrastructure will not only improve service reliability and water quality but also help prevent future system failures and environmental hazards,' Oakland Mayor Andrew Sauder said. 'This project is a critical step toward ensuring a sustainable and secure future for Oakland residents.' Among the requests, a $3 million expansion of the radiology and oncology department in Garrett Regional Medical Center in Oakland focuses on the expansion of medical resources. 'This funding, which supports the design and engineering phase of adding radiation oncology to our Cancer Center, means we will largely eliminate the need for cancer patients to travel to receive the care they need,' Mark Boucot, the chief executive of the center, said. Another project would contribute to educational resources, spending about $2.8 million on revitalizing the Frostburg State University Planetarium. 'The revitalized planetarium will not only enhance educational opportunities for a diversity of learners of all ages, but will also contribute to cultural and economic growth,' said Associate Professor of Physics Jason Speights. The remaining $26 million would go toward projects in the rest of the congressional district throughout Washington and Frederick counties. 'These community-focused investments will help foster growth and strengthen Maryland's 6th Congressional District,' McClain Delaney said.
