  • Publication number: 20240081657
    Abstract: The present invention provides a smart wearable IOT device configured to be worn by a subject on the body and is capable of continuously tracking and reporting a plurality of vital signs and physical activities of the user, including but not limited to sound and vibrational dynamics due to breathing and coughing (from which we can derive the breathing and coughing types and features), body temperature, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, and fatigue-related mobility, physical ability, step count, photoplethysmogram (PPG), ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability, etc. In one aspect, the wearable system will be able to measure the distance with different users through the transmit and receive of Bluetooth low energy signals or WiFi to trace contacts between different wearers. The system will be able to record the data locally on a SD card and also will be able to upload on a server.

  • Publication number: 20220249490
    Abstract: Gene therapy based combination therapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma (“MPM”) that is resistant to or recurrent after chemotherapy employing a viral vector containing a human interferon transgene, followed by standard first- or second-line cytotoxic chemotherapy. Overall survival rate was significantly higher than historical controls in the second-line group.

  • Publication number: 20190167690
    Abstract: “In situ vaccination” using immuno-gene therapy has the ability to induce polyclonal anti-tumor responses directed by the patient's immune system. Patients with unresectable MPM received two intrapleural doses of a replication-defective adenoviral vector containing the human interferon-alpha (hIFN-?2b) gene (Ad.IFN) concomitant with a 14-day course of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (celecoxib), followed by standard first- or second-line cytotoxic chemotherapy. Forty subjects, ECOG PS 0 or 1, were treated: 18 received first-line pemetrexed-based chemotherapy with platinum, 22 received second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed (n=7) or a gemcitabine-based regimen (n=15). Overall survival rate was significantly higher than historical controls in the second-line group.
