Transformative approach to cardiac care could save nearly 1,000 lives annually in the UK, supporting the NHS focus on preventive care
OXFORD, England, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Caristo Diagnostics, a global leader in cardiovascular disease diagnostics and risk prediction, today announced the findings of a new peer-reviewed research study demonstrating that its novel CaRi-Heart® technology could be implemented across the UK’s National health Service (NHS) in a highly cost-effective way to transform cardiac care and reduce overall cardiac deaths by 12%. The study, entitled “Cost-effectiveness of a novel AI technology to quantify coronary inflammation and cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing routine Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography,” was published this month in the European Heart Journal: Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes.

The study was conducted by clinical investigators from the UK, USA and Australia, and shows that the CaRi-Heart care pathway is a highly cost-effective approach to prevent adverse outcomes from coronary artery disease (CAD), aligning with the UK Government’s vision for the future of the NHS.
Addressing a Major Health and Economic ChallengeCoronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in the UK, placing a heavy burden on both healthcare services and the wider economy. CAD costs the NHS £7.4 billion annually, with an additional £15.8 billion in economic losses. Traditional methods for assessing cardiac risk rely on general demographic and clinical data, often underestimating true risk, particularly in patients with no overt signs of CAD, which represents a major unmet need in current preventive care.
The CaRi-Heart care pathway changes this by analysing routine coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans to reveal coronary inflammation, a key driver of heart attacks and stroke that is otherwise invisible on scans. Quantifying inflammation provides a far more powerful prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as heart attacks and strokes. The study shows that integrating the CaRi-Heart care pathway into routine care could reduce cardiac deaths by 12%, myocardial infarctions by 11%, strokes by 4%, and heart failure events by 4%.  The results are based on analysis of a cohort of 5,000 simulated patients undergoing CCTA and modelled over a lifetime.
Cost-Effective Cardiac CareThe study confirms that integrating the CaRi-Heart care pathway into routine NHS care would not only be clinically effective but also cost-effective. The AI-driven model would reduce major cardiovascular events and deliver an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of £1,371 to £3,244 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). This is well below the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s threshold of £20,000 to £30,000, making CaRi-Heart technology a highly affordable and impactful option for improving cardiac care.
CaRi-Heart Care Pathway Aligns with NHS Approach to Prevention On 25 September 2024, UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting outlined the UK Government’s vision for NHS reform, committing to three key shifts: from analogue to digital; from hospital to community; and from sickness to prevention. CaRi-Heart technology’s ability to predict the risk of a fatal heart attack up to 10 years in advance aligns with the government’s focus on the use of new health technologies to drive efficiency and improve outcomes. By deploying this solution across the NHS, clinicians can identify cardiovascular risks earlier, reduce hospital admissions, and shift the focus from reactive treatment to proactive prevention—all key tenets of the new NHS strategy.
“The CaRi-Heart care pathway could transform cardiac care in the UK and around the world,” said Prof. Keith Channon, MD, a co-author of the study, Chief Medical Officer of Caristo and Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford. “Our technology directly supports the government’s vision to modernise the NHS, reduce costs, and, most importantly, save lives by shifting from reactive to preventative healthcare.”

225Ac-Satoreotide is a first-in-class somatostatin receptor 2 antagonist targeting extensive stage small cell lung cancer and is the first antagonist labelled with 225Ac to enter clinical developmentSatoreotide expressed a superior pharmacokinetic profile relative to DOTA-TATE with a higher pre-clinical anti-tumour efficacy, irrespective of radionuclide used100% survival with a single dose of 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide but not with 225Ac-DOTA-TATEBERLIN, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ariceum Therapeutics (Ariceum), a private biotech company developing radiopharmaceutical products for the diagnosis and treatment of certain hard-to-treat cancers, today announces that it presented data on its proprietary radiolabelled peptide SS0110 (satoreotide), a first-in-class antagonist of the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), at this year’s European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Annual Conference, held in Hamburg, Germany from 19-23 October 2024.

The Top-Rated Oral Presentation (TROP) entitled ‘225Ac-SSO110 induces long-lasting anti-tumour responses in contrast to 225Ac-DOTA-TATE and 161Tb-DOTA-TATE in the treatment of SSTR2-positive tumour xenografts’, details the anti-tumour efficacy of different radiolabelled satoreotide antagonists (225Ac, 161Tb, 177Lu-labelled SSO110) versus respective DOTA-TATE agonists (225Ac- and 161Tb-labelled DOTA-TATE) in mice engrafted with SSTR2 positive xenografts of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and pancreatic cancer using clinically relevant associated dose ranges.  
Results demonstrate that 225Ac-satoreotide shows the strongest anti-tumoural effect in vivo at a low single dose when evaluating satoreotide and DOTA-TATE radiolabelled with different radionuclides. Irrespective of the radionuclides used, satoreotide demonstrated a higher pre-clinical anti-tumour efficacy when compared to DOTA-TATE which was less potent and required increased dose levels. Satoreotide was well tolerated across all dose levels and with all used radionuclides. These comparisons between satoreotide and DOTA-TATE will facilitate and guide further clinical development of satoreotide across multiple indications expressing SSTR2, such as SCLC, pancreatic cancers and Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC).
Previous comparisons between satoreotide and DOTA-TATE demonstrated that antagonist, 225Ac-satoreotide, is multiple times more potent than SSTR2 agonist, 225Ac-DOTA-TATE, signifying a durable complete response in standard murine xenograft models of SCLC in animal models, versus tumour growth delay.
Ariceum had previously shown at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting 2024 that 212Pb was not seen to be more potent than Lutetium or Terbium but caused more side effects and hence was not further pursued.
Manfred Rüdiger, Chief Executive Officer at Ariceum Therapeutics, said: “These results provide strong evidence for satoreotide and its potential to clinically outperform SSTR2 targeting agonists, by demonstrating significantly better efficacy in tumour growth control, up to complete tumour eradication depending on isotope used. In addition, when a single dose of 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide was administered, we observed high frequency of complete durable responses and 100% survival which strongly supports further clinical development for the treatment of SCLC, MCC and other cancers.”

university-hospitals-in-the-uk-join-homerton-healthcare’s-public-cloud-service-from-sectra–enhances-collaboration-for-improved-care

LINKÖPING, Sweden, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra’s (STO: SECT B) SaaS in the cloud, Sectra One Cloud, will be used by Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) in the UK as they join Homerton Healthcare’s current cloud solution for medical imaging. By using one unified platform the current cooperation between the hospitals will be enhanced which is anticipated to improve workflow and production at lower cost. Moreover, it will relieve BHRUT’s IT burden and costs for IT as Sectra takes full responsibility for the technology and operation of the system.

Since 2015, BHRUT has been using Sectra’s radiology solution. Operating from King George Hospital in Ilford and Queen’s Hospital in Romford, BHRUT serves the communities of Barking, Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge in East London and Essex. As a part of the same hospital region as Homerton Healthcare—which adopted Sectra’s cloud service in 2023—BHRUT collaborates continuously with Homerton.
“We cooperate extensively with Homerton to ensure the patients in our region receive timely care, and therefore see huge benefits of further facilitating that collaboration. By having a joint Sectra solution, our radiologists will have immediate access to each other’s images and patient data, which will make it easier for us to collaborate around patient cases,” says David Newey, Interim Chief Digital Transformation Officer at BHRUT.
Sectra will provide BHRUT with a fully managed cloud service and continuously monitor, optimize, and upgrade the solution, as well as provide 24/7 support to ensure a smooth experience over time. This will create a comprehensive system at BHRUT, designed to accommodate potential growth as volumes increase and as potential expansion into other specialties is explored.  
“As Sectra takes responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the system, the resilience of the service we provide to our patients will improve, whilst our maintenance overhead will be reduced,” Newey adds.
The contract for Sectra One Cloud was signed in the second quarter of Sectra’s 2024/2025 fiscal year and BHRUT will initially use the modules for radiology and breast imaging.
“An increasing number of hospitals are transitioning to cloud-based solutions to enhance security and reduce IT burdens. This shift addresses the widespread challenge of shortages in IT staff required to manage hospital systems. Therefore, we are proud to provide BHRUT with a solution that relieves this significant burden. We are looking forward to continuing to support them and to enhance their cooperation with Homerton for improved patient care in the region,” says Jane Rendall, managing director for Sectra UK and Ireland.
