FY 2020 EXPANDING CAPACITY FOR CORONAVIRUS TESTING (ECT)

FY 2024 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSION - CAMCARE HEALTH CORPORATION AIMS TO ENHANCE ITS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH) PROGRAM BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) SERVICES, INCLUDING MEDICATION FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER (MOUD). THE INITIATIVE INCLUDES EXPANDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, INTRODUCING PREVENTATIVE SUD SERVICES, AND RENOVATING THE GATEWAY, CLEMENTON, AND EAST HEALTH CENTERS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF CAMCARE’S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH EXPANSION PROJECT ARE TO ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL LEVEL OF BH PROVIDERS, INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BH PROVIDERS, EXPAND BH SPACE AND SERVICES, AND INTEGRATE BH AND MAT SERVICES. TO ACHIEVE THE FIRST OBJECTIVE, CAMCARE WILL PROVIDE SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN TRAUMA, SUDS, AND BRIEF INTERVENTIONS TO CURRENT BH PROVIDERS. THIS TRAINING WILL ENSURE THAT PROVIDERS ARE WELL-EQUIPPED TO ADDRESS COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD ISSUES, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR PATIENTS. TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BH PROVIDERS, CAMCARE PLANS TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL STAFF, INCLUDING SPANISH-SPEAKING PROVIDERS AND THOSE SPECIALIZING IN YOUTH PSYCHIATRIC CHALLENGES (E.G., A PSYCHIATRIC ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE, A LICENSED CLINICAL ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELOR, BH PROVIDERS, AND A CASE MANAGER). THIS RECRUITMENT EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON MEETING THE LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL NEEDS OF DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATIONS. BY HIRING A DIVERSE TEAM OF PROVIDERS, CAMCARE AIMS TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS WITH BH AND SUD ISSUES. EXPANDING BH SPACE AND SERVICES IS ANOTHER CRITICAL OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT. CAMCARE PLANS TO RENOVATE THE THIRD FLOOR OF THE FACILITY TO ACCOMMODATE MORE BH PROVIDERS AND GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS. THIS EXPANSION WILL ENABLE CAMCARE TO SERVE A GREATER NUMBER OF PATIENTS AND OFFER A BROADER RANGE OF SERVICES. NECESSARY EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS, SUCH AS LAPTOPS, DESKS, AND CHAIRS, WILL BE PURCHASED TO SUPPORT THE EXPANDED SERVICES. THE INTEGRATION OF BH AND MAT SERVICES IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. CAMCARE WILL DEVELOP PROTOCOLS AND TRAIN MEDICAL AND BH PROVIDERS ON INTEGRATING MAT WITH EXISTING BH SERVICES, ENHANCING COORDINATION BETWEEN MAT AND BH TEAMS TO PROVIDE A SEAMLESS AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT EXPERIENCE FOR PATIENTS. THIS INTEGRATION AIMS TO IMPROVE TREATMENT OUTCOMES AND ENSURE COORDINATED CARE FOR PATIENTS RECEIVING MAT. ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO CARE IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT. CAMCARE WILL IMPLEMENT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE, PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACHES TO CARE, PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH SUCH AS HOUSING STABILITY, FOOD SECURITY, AND TRANSPORTATION. LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS WILL BE UTILIZED TO ASSIST PATIENTS IN ACCESSING SERVICES, ENSURING THAT PATIENTS CAN RECEIVE THE CARE THEY NEED. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE INCREASED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, ENHANCED SUD SERVICES, IMPROVED PATIENT OUTCOMES, AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROGRAM. THE RECRUITMENT OF ADDITIONAL BH STAFF AND THE EXPANSION OF SERVICE SPACE WILL ENABLE CAMCARE TO SERVE MORE PATIENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED, OR FACE CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC BARRIERS. THE INTEGRATION OF MAT WITH BH SERVICES AND THE TRAINING OF PROVIDERS IN TRAUMA AND SUBSTANCE USE INTERVENTIONS WILL IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SUD TREATMENT, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS RECEIVING SUD TREATMENT, INCLUDING MOUD. COORDINATED CARE AND INTEGRATED SERVICES WILL LEAD TO BETTER TREATMENT ADHERENCE AND OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD ISSUES, WHILE ADDRESSING UNDERLYING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH WILL FURTHER SUPPORT PATIENT WELL-BEING AND STABILITY. ONGOING TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR BH PROVIDERS WILL ENSURE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROGRAM AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF CARE QUALITY. PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WILL ENHANCE THE CONTINUUM OF CARE AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS.

A NOVEL MULTI-ANALYTE ALGORITHMIC ASSAY DIAGNOSTIC FOR HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC). - PROJECT SUMMARY IMCARE BIOTECH IS SEEKING TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE SERAVUE AI, A NOVEL MULTI-ANALYTE ALGORITHMIC ASSAY FOR EARLY DETECTION OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HCC), THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF PRIMARY LIVER CANCER. HCC IS A LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER-RELATED DEATHS WORLDWIDE, WITH POOR PROGNOSIS WHEN DETECTED LATE. EARLY DETECTION SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES SURVIVAL RATES, BUT CURRENT SURVEILLANCE METHODS HAVE LIMITATIONS IN ACCURACY AND ACCESSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY WITH IMAGING. SERAVUE AI ADDRESSES THIS CRITICAL NEED BY COMBINING IMCARE BIOTECH'S PROPRIETARY LC- SPIK BIOMARKER WITH ESTABLISHED MARKERS AFP AND DCP, INTEGRATED THROUGH AN ADVANCED AI ALGORITHM, AND ONLY REQUIRES A SIMPLE BLOOD SAMPLE FOR HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND SPECIFIC HCC DETECTION. WE WILL COLLECT 300 SERUM SAMPLES FROM HCC PATIENTS (EARLY AND LATE-STAGE) AND AT-RISK CONTROLS (CIRRHOSIS AND HEPATITIS B PATIENTS). THESE SAMPLES WILL BE TESTED FOR LC-SPIK, AFP, AND DCP USING ELISA ASSAYS DEVELOPED BY OUR COMPANY. AFTER SAMPLE COLLECTION AND BIOMARKER MEASUREMENTS, WE WILL DEVELOP AN AI ALGORITHM THAT COMBINES THE BIOMARKER DATA WITH CLINICAL INFORMATION TO DETECT EARLY-STAGE HCC. THE ALGORITHM WILL BE TRAINED ON A SUBSET OF THE COLLECTED SAMPLES AND VALIDATED ON THE REMAINING SAMPLES TO ENSURE ROBUSTNESS AND ACCURACY. OUR RESEARCH DESIGN INVOLVES RETROSPECTIVE SAMPLE COLLECTION FROM DIVERSE PATIENT POPULATIONS, RIGOROUS BIOMARKER MEASUREMENT USING PROPRIETARY AND STANDARD ASSAYS, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES. THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE A HIGHLY ACCURATE, NON-INVASIVE BLOOD TEST FOR HCC SURVEILLANCE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY REPLACE ULTRASOUND AS THE STANDARD SCREENING METHOD FOR HCC. BY IMPROVING EARLY DETECTION RATES, SERAVUE AI AIMS TO ENABLE MORE TIMELY AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT INTERVENTIONS, ULTIMATELY REDUCING HCC-RELATED MORTALITY AND IMPROVING PATIENT OUTCOMES. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR LARGER CLINICAL STUDIES AND EVENTUAL COMMERCIALIZATION OF SERAVUE AI AS AN INNOVATIVE, LIFE-SAVING DIAGNOSTIC TOOL.

COMPREHENSIVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, REIMBURSEMENT, AND LICENSING STRATEGY FOR IMCARE BIOTECH'S DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCT SERAVUE - ABSTRACT IMCARE BIOTECH HAS DEVELOPED A HIGHLY ACCURATE AND SPECIFIC ELISA BASED DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY FOR HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. TRADEMARK PENDING AS SERAVUETM, THE TEST QUANTIFIES LC-SPIK, A NOVEL PROTEIN SECRETED ONLY IN CASES OF LIVER CANCER. OUR PHASE I AND PHASE II CLINICAL STUDIES HAVE VALIDATED SERAVUETM'S ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH HCC IN PATIENTS FROM THOSE WHO HAVE LIVER CIRRHOSIS, HEPATITIS B/C, NON-LIVER DISEASES SUCH AS PANCREATITIS, AS WELL AS HEALTHY CONTROL SUBJECTS. IN 512 TOTAL PATIENTS, LC-SPIK HAD A SENSITIVITY OF 80% AND SPECIFICITY OF 90%, COMPARED TO ONLY 52% SENSITIVITY AND 86% SPECIFICITY FOR ALPHA FETOPROTEIN (AFP), A WIDELY USED FDA-APPROVED BIOMARKER FOR HCC. MORE IMPRESSIVELY, SERAVUETM WAS ABLE TO DETECT HCC IN ITS EARLIEST STAGES (BCLC STAGE 0 AND 1), WHERE DETECTION MAKES THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN PATIENT OUTCOMES AND 5-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE, WITH 72% SENSITIVITY AND 90% SPECIFICITY. THIS COMPARED VERY FAVORABLY TO AFP, WITH ONLY 42% SENSITIVITY AND 86% SPECIFICITY. FINALLY, SERAVUETM WAS ABLE TO GIVE A TRUE-POSITIVE RESULT IN OVER 71% OF PATIENTS WHERE AFP TESTING GAVE A FALSE- NEGATIVE RESULT, OFFERING A SOLUTION FOR THE ROUGHLY 47% OF HCC PATIENTS WHO REGRETTABLY TEST NEGATIVE WITH AFP. THROUGH OUR PHASE I AND PHASE II SBIR FUNDED DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE COMPLETED THE TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCT. WE HAVE ALSO MET WITH THE FDA THROUGH A FORMAL PRE-SUBMISSION MEETING TO ESTABLISH REQUIREMENTS FOR FDA APPROVAL AND ARE AMIDST COMMERCIAL LICENSE DISCUSSIONS WITH SEVERAL LEADING DIAGNOSTIC COMPANIES INCLUDING FUJIREBIO, DIASORIN, AND BIORAD. HOWEVER, WHILE OUR TECHNOLOGY AND EXISTING IP PROVIDE US WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION, THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY AREAS WHERE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. FIRST, WHILE OUR EXISTING PATENTS OFFER PROVIDE SOME DIRECT PROTECTION, WE NEED TO FURTHER ANALYZE THE RELEVANT PATENT LANDSCAPE AND STRATEGIZE AROUND EPITOPE CLAIMS TO ENABLE MORE COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE INTERNATIONALLY. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO PRIORITIZE SPECIFIC PATENTS, CLAIMS, AND INTERNATIONAL REGIONS AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE. SECOND, WE MUST FURTHER DEVELOP OUR REIMBURSEMENT STRATEGY, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION WITH CMS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL PARTNERS HAVE EXPLICITLY ASKED US FOR. LASTLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH A LICENSING ADVISOR WITH SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE IN STRUCTURING AND EXECUTING DIAGNOSTIC LICENSING DEALS. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP IN OUR COMMERCIALIZATION PLAN AND COLLABORATING WITH SUCH A PARTNER WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHEN THIS KEY AREA WHERE WE ARE LESS EXPERIENCED. A CRP GRANT WOULD ALLOW US TO ADDRESS THESE REMAINING COMMERCIALIZATION RISKS AND ENSURE THAT THE TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THE LAST 6 YEARS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE NIH/NCI, FOR WHICH WE ARE VERY THANKFUL, WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF WORLDWIDE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.
