Alimentiv Inc., AcelaBio Inc., and PharmaNest Inc. are pleased to announce their collaborative effort aimed at revolutionizing precision medicine and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled digital pathology solutions for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) clinical trials. This collaboration will enable clinical trial sponsors to quantify the histological effects of compounds and gain deeper insight into underlying mechanisms in MASH-targeted therapies using state-of-the-art spatial transcriptomics and AI-powered single-fiber and single-cell digital pathology. By harnessing the collective expertise of Alimentiv, AcelaBio, and PharmaNest, this collaboration will establish an integrated ecosystem that seamlessly combines high throughput specialty anatomic and molecular pathology, precision medicine technologies, bioinformatics, and AI-powered digital pathology image analysis. Integrating these cutting-edge solutions is a significant advancement in applying novel technologies to enable high-quality end-to-end tissue assays, allowing clinical trial sponsors to drive scientific discoveries and accelerate drug development in MASH, a disease with a growing impact and currently no approved therapies.

AcelaBio, a CAP/CLIA-certified clinical research laboratory known for its end-to-end digital pathology workflows, will carry out tissue sample analysis to generate whole slide images and molecular data. “Our collaboration holds great potential for the advancement of MASH clinical research to further the identification and quantification of digital pathology biomarker data and to enhance clinical development,” said Niels Vande Casteele, Ph.D., President of AcelaBio. “By creating seamless workflows integrating advanced sample analysis, digital pathology, bioinformatics, and AI-powered analysis, we can unlock new opportunities to identify biomarker signatures within the spatial context of the tissue.”

The collaborative efforts of Alimentiv, AcelaBio, and PharmaNest will facilitate the seamless integration of robust digital pathology operational workflows and Artificial Intelligence in MASH clinical trials, ultimately leading to the development of personalized therapies and improving patient outcomes.

“Alimentiv prioritizes leading with science through our commitment to developing innovative early clinical trial designs and outcome assessments. Our expertise in endpoint assessments and precision medicine analyses, including bioinformatics and AI-powered digital pathology biomarker quantitation, positions us along with our collaborative partners to innovate and transform the landscape of MASH clinical trials,” said Wendy Teft, Ph.D., VP of Precision Medicine at Alimentiv. “Through the integration of our respective technologies and expertise, we aim to empower clinical trial sponsors with the necessary tools to improve the quality of histological endpoints, uncover novel biomarkers, and accelerate drug development timelines by gaining comprehensive insights into the underlying mechanisms of action in MASH targeted therapies.”

PharmaNest, recognized for its excellence in MASH digital pathology and Artificial Intelligence analysis services, will play a pivotal role in this collaboration by providing high-resolution, single-fiber, and single-cell quantitative image analysis and AI-powered biomarkers from the same images reviewed by pathologists for critical endpoint assessments. Together, these organizations will enhance the quality of current histological endpoints required for the interim FDA approval of therapies in MASH and enable the analysis of complex data sets, leading to a comprehensive understanding of MASH pathology and the discovery of new biomarkers.

“Using our digital pathology FibroNest platform, the automated high-resolution quantification of the phenotype of fibrosis severity and related tissue injury from the same slides reviewed by pathologists offers a robust and scalable method to generate continuous scores that resolve faint changes in fibrosis severity and disease activity and can be used in MASH Trials to assist pathologists and enrich the quantification of the effect of an intervention. Our Fibrosis Digital Pathology biomarker, Ph-FCS, offers exceptional performance as a diagnostic tool for early and severe fibrosis. The recently published results showing that it can also predict liver-related events and outcomes opens the road for its future qualification as a likely surrogate endpoint in MASH studies,” says Mathieu Petitjean, Ph.D., CEO of PharmaNest. “The partnership with Alimentiv and AcelaBio will ensure sponsors receive a superb end-to-end digital pathology tissue assay where pre-analytical conditions are well controlled during the length of a study.

The collaboration between Alimentiv, AcelaBio, and PharmaNest represents a substantial leap forward in integrating precision medicine and digital pathology solutions for MASH clinical trials. By uniting their expertise, these organizations aim to further enhance early drug development efficiency to get safe and effective treatments to patients in a more expedient fashion.

Clinical trial sponsors interested in accessing the benefits of this service collaboration are encouraged to contact the respective organizations for further information.

Federal Government Authorizes Institute of Information Management to Certify Data Protection Professionals in Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria, June 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Federal Government through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) has granted a licence to the Institute of Information Management (IIM) to conduct examinations and certify data protection professionals for global competitiveness.

The National Commissioner of NDPC, Dr. Vincent Olatunji, who said this on Monday while presenting licence to IIM in Abuja, said granting of the licence was part of the commission’s measures to implement Executive Order 003 and 005.
Olatunji added that certifying data protection professionals in the country would reduce capital flight, create over 500,000 jobs in the sector, and encourage more people to be certified.
Promoting local content
While a few Nigerians with expertise in data protection had their training and certification abroad, Olatunji said having an institute to train and certify Nigerians locally would boost local content in the sector.
“We are trying to ensure the implementation of Executive Orders 003 and 005 to promote local content in Nigeria. Most of us who are certified data protection officers have international certifications; we paid some dollars to write exams as well as maintain the certificates. We are trying to domesticate this in Nigeria by having a national certification process” Olatunji said.
The NDPC National Commissioner said that with the size of Nigeria’s  population, the country  needs  over 500,000 certified data protection officers. And if prospective candidates are to pay for the certifying examination in dollars, it will lead to capital flight.
Expansion to Africa
Olatunji also said that the commission is considering adopting the licensing across Africa. According to him, the Commission is working towards having a pan-African initiative, whereby data professionals have the national certification that is being offered in Nigeria and can also practice in any part of Africa.
“It is a way of creating jobs for our people, reducing capital flight, and developing global human capital in the data protection ecosystem” Olatunji said. He explained the Commission have also gone further to develop the training model which is unique to the organization  and will be used by  trainers in Nigeria.
He added that the licensing would also create jobs for already licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisations (DPCOs), who would be accredited to train prospective professionals to sit for data protection examinations. According to him, the national data protection certification will be a historic legacy that will transcend administrations and meet global standards.
Speaking on the licence, the President of the Institute of Information Management, Dr. Oyedokun Oyewole, recalled that the certification process commenced in 2021.
He said the licence would bridge the gap in the data protection ecosystem. Oyewole assured Nigerians of the institute’s commitment to be the best in the education system of data protection in the country.
