+Added: This technology pertains to among other things, the use of vaccines for the treatment or prevention of ovarian cancers
+Added: which express the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor 2 protein containing an extracellular domain (“AMHR2-ED”).
+Added: In healthy tissue,
+Added: this protein regulates growth and development of egg-containing follicles in the ovary.
+Added: While expression of AMHR2-ED naturally and markedly
+Added: declines after menopause, this protein is expressed at high levels in the ovaries of postmenopausal women with ovarian cancer.
+Added: at Cleveland Clinic believe that a vaccine targeting AMHR2-ED could prevent the occurrence of ovarian cancer.

+Added: The license agreement requires
+Added: Certainty to make certain cash and equity payments to Wistar upon achievement of specific development milestones.
+Added: With respect to Certainty’s

+Added: We received authorization
+Added: from the FDA in August 2021, to commence enrollment and treatment of patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial.
+Added: We began patient recruitment
+Added: for the trial in March 2022, and in August 2022, we treated the first patient in the trial.
+Added: The treatment appears to have been well-tolerated
+Added: by the patient, and we continue to monitor her condition.
+Added: The process of recruiting additional patients is ongoing.
+Added: This study is a dose-escalation
+Added: trial with two arms based on injection method—intraperitoneal or intravenous—to determine the maximum tolerated dose in patients
+Added: with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer and to assess persistence, expansion and efficacy of the modified T-cells.
+Added: The study is being
+Added: conducted at Moffitt and will consist of 24 to 48 patients who have received at least two prior lines of chemotherapy.
+Added: The study is estimated
+Added: to be completed in two to four years depending on multiple factors including when maximum tolerated dose is reached, the rate of patient
+Added: recruitment, and how long we maintain the two different injection methods.
+Added: April 2020, we entered into a collaboration with OntoChem GmbH (“OntoChem”) to discover and ultimately develop anti-viral
+Added: drug candidates against COVID-19.
+Added: Through this collaboration, we utilized advanced computational methods, machine learning, and molecular
+Added: modeling techniques to perform in silico screening of over 1.2 billion compounds in chemical libraries (including publicly available
+Added: compounds and OntoChem’s proprietary libraries) to evaluate if any of these compounds could disrupt one of two key enzymes of SARS-CoV-2,

+Added: TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
+Added: screening process resulted in the identification of multiple compounds that could potentially disrupt critical enzymes of the virus,
+Added: including the virus’ main protease, M pro .
+Added: Several of these compounds were synthesized and tested in in vitro
+Added: biological assays.
+Added: Upon completion of these biological assays, we identified two of the most promising compounds and tested them in animal
+Added: In these animal studies, the two compounds were compared to Remdesivir, which at the time the assays were performed was the only
+Added: anti-viral drug authorized by the FDA for COVID-19.
+Added: The data showed that administration of the drugs to infected hamsters did not cause
+Added: any noticeable adverse effects, and monitoring of weight and general animal behavior demonstrated comparable efficacy between each of
+Added: our compounds and Remdesivir.
+Added: Based on this promising data in the animal study, we directed our team to proceed to the next stage of
+Added: drug development and we selected one of the compounds around which our team is performing combinatorial synthetic medicinal chemistry
+Added: to evaluate whether potency can be increased and pharmacokinetics optimized.
+Added: This work is ongoing.
+Added: May 2021, after completion of the aforementioned animal studies, OntoChem assigned its rights and obligations related to this collaboration
+Added: to MolGenie GmbH (“MolGenie”), a company spun-out from OntoChem focused on drug discovery and development.
+Added: As a result of
+Added: the MolGenie spin-out, there was no change in the personnel working on our project, and the assignment caused no interruptions to the
+Added: program’s development.
+Added: use of preventative vaccines is widespread throughout much of the developed world, we believe that there is and will continue to be a
+Added: need for effective treatments for COVID-19.
+Added: We believe that there are a number of factors that have limited the effectiveness, both in
+Added: the near and long term, of the vaccines currently in use, including, but not limited to, vaccine persistence, viral escape and perceptions
+Added: of long-term safety resulting in vaccine resistance.
+Added: Furthermore, there are currently new anti-viral treatments, such as Pfizer’s
+Added: Paxlovid, which is a combination therapy consisting of the protease-inhibitor nirmatrelvir and the antiretroviral ritonavir, that have
+Added: been authorized for use in the U.S.
+Added: As the main component of Pfizer’s treatment is a protease-inhibitor targeting M pro ,
+Added: it is most similar to our compounds, and we therefore conducted a head-to-head analysis via a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
+Added: (FRET) assay that tested the ability of the compounds to inhibit the function of M pro .
+Added: The results of this head-to-head in
+Added: vitro analysis suggest that our compounds may be five times more effective at inhibiting M pro than Pfizer’s nirmatrelvir.
+Added: the next several quarters, we expect the development of our breast and ovarian cancer vaccines, our COVID-19 therapeutic discovery program
+Added: and Certainty’s CAR-T technology to be the primary focus of the Company.
+Added: As part of our legacy operations, the Company remains
+Added: engaged in limited patent licensing activities regarding its liquid biopsy platform and in the area of encrypted audio/video conference
+Added: We do not expect these activities to be a significant part of the Company’s ongoing operations nor do we expect these
