+Added: human Pluripotent Stem Cells (HhPSCs), in particular.
+Added: These cells have the potential to change the face of medical research as they play
+Added: a pivotal role in cancer research, regenerative medicine and disease therapy.
+Added: NewStem established a discovery bio-platform based on haploid
+Added: human embryonic stem cell technology for genome-wide screenings and is currently using this platform for the discovery and development
+Added: of oncology drugs based on synthetic lethal interaction and developing a personalized diagnostic for early detection of chemotherapy
+Added: NewStem has incurred losses since inception and has not generated any revenues to date.
+Added: NewStem filed an FDA Pre-Submission
+Added: and received a CE Mark from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for its in vitro diagnostic device (IVDD).

+Added: approved medical device.
+Added: The NewStem Software Diagnostic Device (NSDD) is CE marked under EU regulation as an “other” IVD
+Added: under Directive 98/79/EC since March 2022.
+Added: performs genome-wide genetic screening to identify synthetic lethal interactions with common cancer-related mutations.
+Added: The first step
+Added: in the process is to create a model with relevant cancer-related mutations in HhPSCs, where, subsequently, a library targeting approximately
+Added: 18,000 coding genes is induced.
+Added: At the end of this step, each cell has two mutations, one in the cancer related gene and the other in
+Added: a coding gene.
+Added: A genome-wide genetic screening is performed, both on normal HhPSCs and genomic modified HhPSCs to which a cancer-related
+Added: mutation was inserted.
+Added: The goal of such screens is to identify mutations that in combination with a cancer-related mutation will kill
+Added: Following bioinformatic analysis of the genetic screening results, novel targets are identified and validated, first in HhPSCs
+Added: and then cancer models (tumor organoids and PDX).
+Added: NewStem has validated several targets in HhPSCs and will move next to validation in
+Added: cancer models.
+Added: To identify novel targets for drug development, NewStem performs genome-wide genetic screening.
+Added: The validation process
+Added: requires additional experiments that corroborate the results in independent experiments that corroborate the results in independent experiments
+Added: that are performed on haploid human embryonic stem cells and cancer models.
+Added: For validated targets, artificial intelligence (AI) based
+Added: drug discovery will be performed following by hit to lead process and ADMET that will support the transition to clinical trials.
+Added: reference to AI-based drug discovery, AI can assist in structure-based drug discovery by predicting the 3D protein structure and the
+Added: chemical environment of the target protein site, thus helping to predict the effect of a compound on the target along with safety considerations
+Added: before their synthesis or production and, accordingly, accelerates the drug development process.
+Added: reference to the hit to lead process- this is the iterative process of lead improvement.
+Added: It is the stage where a hit, typically a small
+Added: molecule identified in a high throughput screen, is chemically modified into a lead molecule following improvements in activity against
+Added: reference to ADMET, this is the five-letter acronym for absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity that describes
+Added: pharmacokinetics.
+Added: ADMET plays key roles in drug discovery and development.
+Added: A high-quality drug candidate should not only have sufficient
+Added: efficacy against the therapeutic target, but also show appropriate ADMET properties at a therapeutic dose.
+Added: possesses pioneering intellectual property, reagents and experience related to the isolation and differentiation of HhPSCs and hPSCs,
+Added: their genetic manipulation, immunogenicity, tumorigenicity and their unique capacity in disease modeling.
+Added: believe that NewStem is currently the only company worldwide to develop products based on this innovative proprietary technology.
+Added: products refer to the medical device platform that provides information to oncologists regarding the presence of mutations in the patient’s
+Added: tumor profile which may confer resistance to different anti-cancer drugs and to anticancer drugs that target tumors with specific mutations
+Added: based on a synthetic-lethal interaction approach.
+Added: technology solutions are derived from an exclusive, worldwide license from Yissum Research Development Company, Hebrew University’s

+Added: be approved on a timely basis, if at all.
+Added: The time and expense required to perform the clinical testing necessary to obtain FDA approval
+Added: for regulated products can frequently exceed the time and expense of the research and development initially required to create the product.
+Added: The results of preclinical studies and initial clinical trials of NewStem’s product candidates are not necessarily predictive of
+Added: the results from large-scale clinical trials, and clinical trials may be subject to additional costs, delays or modifications due to
+Added: a number of factors, including difficulty in obtaining enough patients, investigators or product candidate supply.
+Added: Failure by NewStem

+Added: has a collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (“MSK”) Innovation Hub to further optimize and validate NewStem’s
+Added: bioinformatics-based software as a medical device diagnostic platform.
+Added: The NewStem Software Diagnostic Device (“NSDD”) provides
+Added: information to oncologists regarding the presence of mutations in a patient’s tumor profile which may confer resistance to certain
+Added: anti-cancer drugs.
+Added: Armed with NSDD-based intelligence, oncologists can make more informed treatment decisions.
+Added: The collaboration is focused
+Added: on triple-negative breast cancer patients and non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with Paclitaxel and/or Carboplatin.
+Added: expects to receive genomic data from the MSK Innovation Hub within the next few months.
+Added: That data will be analyzed and compared to the
+Added: data that the NSDD generates for that particular patient.
+Added: MSK Innovation Hub brings together innovative, digitally focused companies with MSK’s community of researchers, clinicians, and
+Added: digital health professionals through a program designed to establish innovative collaborations that can have a tangible impact on treatment
+Added: or management of cancer.
