DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSPIRED THERAPEUTICS NEOMATE MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR NEONATES AND INFANTS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT UP TO 14,000 CHILDREN IN THE US ARE HOSPITALIZED WITH HEART FAILURE (HF)-RELATED CONDITIONS EACH YEAR WITH A MORTALITY RATE OF 7-15%. HEART TRANSPLANT IS THE GOLD STANDARD OF THERAPY, BUT THE MORTALITY RATE WHILE ON THE WAITING LIST IS 5-39%; THUS, USE OF MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT (MCS) DEVICES PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN SUPPORTING CARDIOVASCULAR FUNCTION IN THIS CHALLENGING AND HETEROGENOUS PATIENT POPULATION. MCS OPTIONS FOR NEONATES AND INFANTS <10KG ARE ESPECIALLY LIMITED, AS THEIR BODY HABITUS RENDERS THEM TOO SMALL TO RECEIVE IMPLANTABLE TECHNOLOGY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSPIRED THERAPEUTICS NEOMATE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE UP TO 30 DAYS OF MCS AS AN EXTRACORPOREAL LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE (LVAD) FOR NEONATE AND INFANT HF PATIENTS. THE NEOMATE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF A COMPACT, MINIATURE CENTRIFUGAL ROTARY PUMP, UNIVERSAL DRIVER (CONTROLLER WITH AN EMBEDDED MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED (MAGLEV) MOTOR), AND PERIPHERAL COMPONENTS (SMART BATTERY, TOUCH-SCREEN MONITOR). BUILDING UPON THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROTOTYPE AND FEASIBILITY TESTING (COMPLETED IN SBIR PHASE I), THE NEXT TWO DESIGN ITERATIONS WILL BE COMPLETED IN THIS SBIR PHASE II, INCLUDING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) ANALYSES TO PREDICT FLOW DYNAMICS AND HEMOLYSIS RISK (AIM 1), DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEOMATE PUMP (AIM 1), AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEOMATE INTEGRATED CONTROLLER AND MOTOR WITH PERIPHERALS (AIM 2). THE NEOMATE SYSTEM (2ND AND 3RD DESIGN) ITERATIONS WILL BE TESTED IN STATIC AND DYNAMIC MOCK FLOW LOOPS AND ACUTE AND CHRONIC OVINE MODELS TO EVALUATE HYDRODYNAMIC, HEMODYNAMIC, AND HEMOCOMPATIBILITY PERFORMANCE (AIM 3). DATA WILL BE USED TO REFINE THE CFD MODELS AND TO ITERATIVELY IMPROVE THE ENGINEERING DESIGN, FABRICATION, AND PERFORMANCE OF THE NEOMATE SYSTEM. POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES OF THE NEOMATE SYSTEM INCLUDE: (1) DISPOSABLE LOW-COST PUMPS FOR SHORT-TERM MCS SUPPORT; (2) REUSABLE MAGLEV UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER WITH INTEGRATED MOTOR; (3) THE PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY MAY SUPPORT MULTIPLE FUTURE CLINICAL CARDIOPULMONARY INDICATIONS FOR USE; (4) SMALLEST DIAMETER IMPELLER (27MM) AND COMPACT, INTEGRATED, AND MINIATURE CONTROLLER (51MM DIAMETER, 115MM HEIGHT, 681G WEIGHT). COMPLETION OF THE SBIR PHASE II AIMS WILL ENABLE INSPIRED THERAPEUTICS TO PREPARE FOR A PHASE IIB STUDY TO ACHIEVE DESIGN FREEZE OF THE COMMERCIAL CLINICAL-GRADE NEOMATE SYSTEM IN COMPLIANCE WITH GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES, CONDUCT VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION TESTING, AND COMPLETE THE PRE-CLINICAL TESTING IN COMPLIANCE WITH GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICES. ENGINEERING CONTROL DOCUMENTS AND EXPERIMENTAL DATA WILL BE USED TO SUPPORT REGULATORY SUBMISSIONS FOR APPROVAL TO INITIATE A PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL. THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF INSPIRED THERAPEUTICS IS TO BUILD UPON THIS PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY TO EVENTUALLY EXPAND THE POTENTIAL MARKETS INTO CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS, RESPIRATORY ASSIST, EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION, AND BI- AND RIGHT VENTRICULAR ASSISTANCE; HOWEVER, IN THIS SBIR PHASE II APPLICATION, THE NEOMATE SYSTEM IS BEING DEVELOPED AND DESIGNED FOR LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSISTANCE AND IN THE UNDERSERVED NEONATE AND INFANT HF POPULATIONS FIRST.

PERSONAL RESPIRATORY ISOLATION SYSTEM FOR SAFE TRANSPORT AND TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIOUS DISEASES - PROJECT SUMMARY: THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A SOLUTION THAT ALLOWS FOR RAPID, SAFE, AND SCALABLE INITIAL TREATMENT AND TRANSPORT OF PATIENTS WITH HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIOUS DISEASES, INCLUDING COVID-19 AS WELL INFLUENZA, TUBERCULOSIS, CHICKENPOX, AND MEASLES. THIS IS A NECESSARY INNOVATION BECAUSE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND INFECTIOUS TRANSMISSION CONTROL WERE TWO OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FACED WHEN FIGHTING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WHEN A PATIENT IS SUFFERING FROM HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE RESPIRATORY DISEASES AND REQUIRES BREATHING ASSISTANCE, THEY ARE PLACED IN NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOMS. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE LIMITED SUPPLY OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOMS AVAILABLE TO PREVENT VIRUS TRANSMISSION, AND THE MISPERCEPTION REGARDING THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOMS, A NEW SOLUTION IS NEEDED. TO HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE INFECTIOUS DISEASES, START-UP COMPANY INSPIRE RX HAS DEVELOPED A PERSONAL NEGATIVE PRESSURE DEVICE CALLED THE AEROSOLVE™ BIOHELMET. THE BIOHELMET IS CAPABLE OF PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF AEROSOLIZED PATHOGENS WHILE ALSO ENABLING THE USE OF NON-INVASIVE OXYGEN THERAPIES ON PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY DISEASES SUCH AS COVID-19, INFLUENZA, TUBERCULOSIS, ETC. THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE AEROSOLVE™ BIOHELMET IMMEDIATELY ISOLATES PATIENTS WITH ANY HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE RESPIRATORY INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND SERVES AS AN INSTANT PERSONAL NEGATIVE PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT THAT IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A TRADITIONAL NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOM. THE BIOHELMET IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE SAFE TRANSPORTATION VIA AMBULANCE, AIRPLANE, OR HELICOPTER, ALLOWING CRITICAL TRANSPORTATION STAFF TO REMAIN SAFE, AND IT WILL BE VALUABLE IN A VARIETY OF OTHER HEALTHCARE SETTINGS. IN THIS PROJECT THE TEAM WILL REFINE AND FURTHER EVALUATE THE AEROSOLVE BIOHELMET, AND THEY WILL LEVERAGE DATA FROM THEIR PREVIOUS IN-CABIN PARTICLE TESTING TO ADVANCE THE BIOHELMET AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL AT KEEPING A VEHICLE/TRANSPORT CABIN FREE FROM POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC RESPIRATORY PARTICLES. THEY WILL FIRST REFINE THE BIOHELMET DESIGN TO REDUCE NOISE AND WEIGHT, AND THEY WILL FABRICATE 100 AEROSOLVE BIOHELMETS AND 20 PUMP UNITS FOR FOLLOW-ON BENCH TESTING AND CLINICAL USER EVALUATIONS (AIM 1). THEY WILL CONDUCT PERFORMANCE AND BENCH TESTING AT FDA-APPROVED LABS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THE AEROSOLVE BIOHELMET PER FDA GUIDELINES (AIM 2). THEY WILL DEPLOY THE HELMET FOR CLINICAL PATIENT USE DURING GROUND AND AIR AMBULANCE TRANSPORTATION OF PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED COMMUNICABLE RESPIRATORY ILLNESS, INCLUDING THOSE REQUIRING POTENTIAL AEROSOL-GENERATING PROCEDURES, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS WILL BE TO OBTAIN USER FEEDBACK ON COMFORT AND EAST OF USE FROM PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS (AIM 3). THE BIOHELMET WILL PROVIDE A NOVEL, COMPACT, PORTABLE, AND INEXPENSIVE SOLUTION THAT OFFERS A SAFE NEGATIVE PRESSURE ENVIRONMENT BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY SAVE LIVES BY ALLOWING FOR NEEDED PATIENT TREATMENTS AND PROTECTING HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

THE GOALS OF THE KOSCIUSKO DRUG FREE COALITION ARE TO ESTABLISH AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY COLLABORATION IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL EFFORTS TO PREVENT YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE. - PROJECT ABSTRACT ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO USE ARE LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS IN RURAL KOSCIUSKO COUNTY, (POPULATION: 80,240; 2020) IN NORTH-EASTERN INDIANA. THE COUNTY IS A MAJOR TOURISM DESTINATION BEST KNOWN FOR ITS “LAKE CULTURE.” AN ESTIMATED 20 PERCENT OF KOSCIUSKO COUNTY’S ADULT POPULATION SMOKE, HIGHER THAN BOTH NATIONAL AND STATE RATES (INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, 2021). THERE ARE 159 ALCOHOL OUTLETS IN KOSCIUSKO COUNTY; EQUIVALENT TO A RATE OF 20.1 OUTLETS PER 10,000 PEOPLE COMPARED TO 18.2 FOR THE STATE (INDIANA PREVENTION RESOURCE CENTER, 2020). CURRENT TRENDS AMONG KOSCIUSKO YOUTH RAISE CONCERNS THAT THE CYCLE WILL NOT BE BROKEN WITH THIS GENERATION: TEENS’ SURVEY RESPONSES TO CORE MEASURES ON PERCEPTION OF HARM, AS WELL AS PARENTAL AND PEER DISAPPROVAL, ARE LOWER THAN STATE RATES AMONG 8TH, 10TH, AND 12TH GRADE STUDENTS (INDIANA YOUTH SURVEY, 2020). THE MISSION OF KOSCIUSKO DRUG FREE COALITION (KDFC) IS “TO BUILD HOPE AND ELIMINATE SUBSTANCE USE AMONG YOUTH” (KDFC STRATEGIC PLAN, 2017). THE COALITION HAS BEEN STAFF-LED SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2013, REACHING A TOTAL OF 8,152 CHILDREN WITH DIRECT PREVENTION PROGRAMS DELIVERED PRIMARILY IN SCHOOLS OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS. KDFC IS THE ONLY PRIMARY PREVENTION PROVIDER IN THE COUNTY, THE RESULT OF A STATE-FUNDED GRANT TO THE ORGANIZATION KOSCIUSKO CARES THROUGH ITS FISCAL AGENT, THE OTIS R. BOWEN CENTER FOR HUMAN SERVICES (BOWEN CENTER). AS INDIANA’S LARGEST COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER, THE BOWEN CENTER WILL SERVE AS FISCAL AGENT TO KDFC AND ITS DRUG-FREE-COMMUNITIES SUPPORT PROGRAM AWARD. THE 554-SQUARE MILE KOSCIUSKO COUNTY COVERS 21 ZIP CODES; THE MOST POPULATED INCLUDING WARSAW (POPULATION: 15,202); FOLLOWED BY WINONA LAKE, SYRACUSE, MILFORD, NORTH WEBSTER, AND PIERCETON (BETWEEN 5,000 AND 1,000). THE COUNTY’S FOUR PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS (WARSAW, WAWASEE, TIPPECANOE VALLEY, AND WHITCO) AND THEIR 23 SCHOOLS PRE-K THROUGH 12TH GRADE EDUCATE APPROXIMATELY 12,700 CHILDREN (2021/22). TO TACKLE LOCAL ALCOHOL- AND TOBACCO-RELATED HEALTH DISPARITIES, THE COALITION WILL RECRUIT PREVENTION ADVOCATES FROM ALL AGES, BUT SPECIFICALLY YOUTH, TO DEVELOP A PIPELINE FOR SUCCESSION AND TO GENERATE EXCITEMENT AMONG TEENS TO BE COMMUNITY LEADERS. ONLY THEN CAN KDFC ACHIEVE ITS TWIN GOALS TO, FIRST, REACH MORE FAMILIES WITH TIMELY AND CULTURALLY-APPROPRIATE EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND SERVICE PROVISION TARGETING POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND, SECOND, SUSTAIN A MIX OF ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMS BEYOND A SINGLE FUNDING STREAM. KDFC IS CURRENTLY MADE UP OF ADULTS REPRESENTING BUSINESS, MEDIA, EDUCATION, LAW ENFORCEMENT, SOCIAL SERVICES, YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, PARENTS, GOVERNMENT, HEALTHCARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, RELIGIOUS, AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS. THE DRUG-FREE COMMUNITIES SUPPORT PROGRAM WILL EFFECT IMMEDIATE CAPACITY-BUILDING IN THE COMMUNITY LED BY KDFC’S 12 SECTOR REPRESENTATIVES WHO WILL MODEL FACILITATIVE LEADERSHIP FOR CONSENSUS-STYLE GOVERNANCE AND IMPLEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES TO PREVENT SUBSTANCE MISUSE AMONG KOSCIUSKO TEENAGERS INTO THEIR ADULTHOOD AND REDUCE DRUG-RELATED OVERDOSES OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THE VISION OF KDFC IS TO END YOUTH EXPERIMENTING WITH THE TWO MOST PREVALENT GATEWAY DRUGS IN THE COUNTY, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO. THE WAY FORWARD FOR KDFC AND ITS COALITION PARTNERS IS CHAMPIONING BEST PRACTICES IN PREVENTION SCIENCE AND ADVOCATING FOR A PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL OF PREVENTION. THE FIRST OUTCOME OF DRUG-FREE COMMUNITIES SUPPORT PROGRAM FUNDING IS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR TRAINING, OUTREACH, AND NETWORKING BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATIONS 20 PERCENT ANNUALLY OVER KDFC’S MEMBERSHIP BASELINE. THE SECOND OUTCOME IS A 1.25 - 2.5% REDUCTION IN YOUTH ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO USE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE COALITION WI
