With More Viral Outbreaks Expected, Predictive Oncology Expands AI Platforms to Aid in Vaccine and Drug Development
MINNEAPOLIS, March 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Oncology Inc. (POAI) (POAI or the Company), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (AI) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, today announces it will launch a new AI platform for vaccine and drug development targeting Coronaviruses and Acute Respiratory Syndromes (COVID-19, MERS, and SARS) through an operating agreement with Soluble Therapeutics. POAI has also signed a letter of intent with InventaBioTech to acquire Soluble Therapeutics, its assets and its HSCTM Technology.
Global health experts are predicting an ever-increasing number of viral outbreaks like COVID-19, POAI is taking proactive measures to be part of the solution by applying artificial intelligence to aid in the development of new drugs and vaccines. Utilizing Soluble Therapeutics HSCTM technology and its six machines, Soluble's computer system expects to be able to run over 12,000 computer simulations per machine to help generate new diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics. Solubles HSCTM technology has demonstrated efficacy with both new and existing vaccine and drug programs, ensuring the best delivery mechanisms to address new pandemics and battle cancers.
The market for biologicals that includes vaccines, proteins and antibodies used in disease treatment is projected to reach $479.7 billion by 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%.* The capital the US Congress has allocated to fight COVID-19 is $8.0 billion dollars.
Protein formulation is often a bottleneck in protein-based drug development, and Soluble Therapeutics technology directly addresses this bottleneck.Combining the HSCTM technology with POAIs predictive modeling platform is expected to create a new rapid AI discovery platform that quickly and cost-effectively identifies potential therapeutic candidates. The HSCTM technology accelerates the formulation process and is believed to achieve in a month what can take a team of scientists several months to a year to achieve. The HSCTM technology only requires milligrams where a traditional formulation effort can require up to a gram of material.
HSC Technology is a self-contained, automated, chromatographic system that conducts high throughput, microcapillary, self-interaction chromatography screens, using additives and excipients commonly included in protein formulations. The data generated from these screens is analyzed by a predictive algorithm used to identify the optimal combination(s) of additives and excipients, resulting in increased solubility and physical stability of proteins. The system works in concert with a predictive algorithm of formulation parameters that can be exclusively accessed through Soluble Therapeutics.
The HSC Instrument, and underlying technology, has been validated over the past ten years via industry and academic collaborations. For biopharmaceutical clients and vaccine manufacturers, this means faster development times and quicker progression of molecules into the clinic. The COVID-19 vaccine development efforts by industry and government can benefit enormously using the Soluble HSCTM technology with POAIs predictive modeling platform.
Soluble hassix customized machines in its facilities that can help identify the best solutions for vaccines, proteins or antibodies being developed to help fight the COVID-19 contagion. Through this operating partnership and acquisition, we are ready to assist in the development of viable treatment options that use biological, complex ingredients and formulations to speed up the pre-clinical and clinical development of treatments, said Carl Schwartz, CEO of Predictive Oncology.
The combination of Soluble Therapeutics technology with Predictive Oncologys AI capability has the potential to rapidly optimize formulations thereby accelerating the early phase of protein therapeutic development, said Dr. Larry DeLucas, co-inventor of the HSC technology.
Under the operating agreement, the Company and existing Soluble managers will operate the Soluble Therapeutics business pending the acquisition. The Company's acquisition of Soluble Therapeutics is subject to the completion of a definitive agreement and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2020.

About Predictive Oncology Inc.
Predictive Oncology (POAI) operates through three segments (Domestic, International and other), which contain four subsidiaries; Helomics, TumorGenesis, Skyline Medical and Skyline Europe. Helomics applies artificial intelligence to its rich data gathered from patient tumors to both personalize cancer therapies for patients and drive the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. Helomics CLIA-certified lab provides clinical testing that assists oncologists in individualizing patient treatment decisions, by providing an evidence-based roadmap for therapy. In addition to its proprietary precision oncology platform, Helomics offers boutique CRO services that leverage its TruTumor, patient-derived tumor models coupled to a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics and biochemical), and an AI-powered proprietary bioinformatics platform to provide a tailored solution to its clients specific needs. Predictive Oncologys TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially fools cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside a patient. Its proprietary Oncology Discovery Technology Platform kits will assist researchers and clinicians to identify which cancer cells bind to specific biomarkers. Once the biomarkers are identified they can be used in TumorGenesis Oncology Capture Technology Platforms which isolate and help categorize an individual patients heterogeneous tumor samples to enable the development of patient specific treatment options. Helomics and TumorGenesis are focused on ovarian cancer. Predictive Oncologys Skyline Medical division markets its patented and FDA cleared STREAMWAY System, which automates the collection, measurement and disposal of waste fluid, including blood, irrigation fluid and others, within a medical facility, through both domestic and international divisions. The company has achieved sales in five of the seven continents through both direct sales and distributor partners. For more information, please visit http://www.predictive-oncology.com.
