On October 17, 2018 Anixa Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIX), a biotechnology company focused on using the body’s immune system to fight cancer, presented the results from its ongoing study utilizing Cchek, its artificial intelligence (AI) driven early cancer detection technology, at the 30th Anniversary AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) Special Conference – Convergence: Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Prediction in Cancer (Press release, Anixa Biosciences, OCT 17, 2018, View Source [SID1234530497]). This AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) special conference covered the state of research in understanding cancer from incident to early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment using big data and machine learning. The meeting was held October 14–17, 2018 in Newport, Rhode Island and was attended by global leaders in the intersection of cancer research and artificial intelligence.

Anixa, for the first time, presented data demonstrating the ability of Cchek to distinguish, among patients scheduled for biopsy, those who have high risk prostate cancer and those who have benign conditions or low grade cancer, for whom surgery is not required and a biopsy is unnecessary. In addition, Anixa’s Cchek data showed the ability to distinguish healthy males from high risk prostate cancer patients with a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 100%. This study further demonstrated the potential for Cchek to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies by up to 56%, while still retaining 89% sensitivity for detecting prostate cancers.

Dr. Amit Kumar, Anixa President and CEO stated, "We are pleased with the results of our ongoing study presented at the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) AI conference, and we are excited about the potential for us to dramatically reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies. The ability to distinguish between high risk prostate cancer patients and those with a benign condition or low grade, non-surgically treated cancer is significant, and is a distinct differentiator between Cchek and many other liquid biopsy tests being developed today."

On October 17, 2018 Spherix Incorporated (Nasdaq: SPEX) today provided shareholders with a video demonstration on its website of the potential effectiveness of CBM BioPharma, Inc.’s ("CBM) innovative drug platform (Press release, Spherix, OCT 17, 2018, View Source [SID1234538989]). As previously disclosed on October 11, 2018, Spherix entered into a merger agreement with CBM, a privately held innovative pharmaceutical company focused on the development of drugs in the multibillion-dollar oncology therapeutics market . The notable video, which was recorded at Wake Forest University, visually demonstrates the potential effectiveness of one of CBM’s primary drug candidates known as KPC34. Researchers at Wake Forest have been testing whether KPC34 can be used on mouse subjects to treat Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) that has spread to the nervous system. Once recurrent ALL spreads to the nervous system, patients often experience paralysis.

In the video, a mouse which suffers from hind leg paralysis as a result of recurrent late staged ALL is shown to improve dramatically from the paralysis within forty-eight hours of being treated with KPC34. Within just twenty-four hours of the first injection of KPC34, the mouse could walk. Forty-eight hours later a second injection was administered and the mouse was able to move about without challenges.

Anthony Hayes, CEO of Spherix, stated, "This remarkable video demonstrates the tremendous potential for this drug to treat ALL. The video was part of a written submission on KPC34 to PLOS OneTM a peer reviewed medical journal. We are collecting additional information to continually provide our shareholders with updates to help better educate them on these compounds and the biotechnology space generally. We anticipate further updates in the future."
