The Challenges Surrounding AI/ML are Taken Head on by the FDA
Should artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) be allowed to alter FDA approved software in medical devices? If so, where should the guardrails be set? The discussions and debates surrounding AI/ML are heated; some believe the technology may destroy humanity, while others look forward to the speed of advancement it will allow. The FDA is getting out ahead on this debate. This week the agency drafted a list of “guiding principles” intended to begin developing best practices for machine learning within medical devices.
Background
The FDA views its role as protecting patients while at the same time avoiding standing in the way of progress. In the case of ML, not preventing the modification of medical treatments or procedures that would improve outcomes. AI/ML has the potential to more quickly evaluate data sets, improve diagnosis, adjust how used, and overall alter processes based on what is learned.
On April 3, the FDA drafted AI-Enabled Medical Device Life Cycle Plan Guidance, with a comment period ending July 3, 2023. The U.S. regulator’s proposal attempts to find science-based requirements for medical devices powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The overall goal is to not slow the implementation of improved new devices that may quickly be modified, updated, and rapidly deliver an improved response to new data.
Greg Aurand, Senior Healthcare Services & Medical Devices Analyst at Noble Capital Markets, summed up the purpose for the FDA’s actions in this way: “The FDA needs to move cautiously, but they don’t wish to slow down healthcare improvements on an ongoing basis.” Aurand gave examples where machine learning has the potential to make better assessments, better decipher data sets such as antibiotic resistance, and improve results while perhaps taming medical expenses. He said, “new draft guidelines from the FDA should make it easier for approval of modifications to occur so previously unrecognized improvements may occur within the guidelines, and the process is less static.”
How is Artificial Intelligence Likely to Revise Medical Devices?
As is written into the FDA guidance, “Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies have the potential to transform health care by deriving new and important insights from the vast amount of data generated during the delivery of health care every day. Medical device manufacturers are using these technologies to innovate their products to better assist health care providers and improve patient care.”
The FDA accepts that a great benefit of AI/ML in software is its ability to learn from real-world use and experience, then the ability to improve its own performance.
How is the FDA Expected to Regulate AI/ML Devices?
Traditionally, the FDA reviews medical devices and improvements through a premarket pathway for approval. The FDA may also review and clear modifications to medical devices, including software as a medical device, depending on the significance or risk posed to patients by that modification. The industry is going through a paradigm shift which the FDA is helping to enable.
The FDA’s current paradigm of medical device regulation was not designed for adaptive artificial intelligence. Under the FDA’s current approach to software modifications it anticipates that many of these artificial intelligence and machine learning-driven software changes to a device need a premarket review. The new regulation is expected to create broader parameters of pre-approval to allow adjustments with set allowable boundaries.
A new framework envisioned by the FDA includes a “predetermined change control plan” in premarket submissions. This plan would include the types of anticipated modifications, referred to as “Software as a Medical Device Pre-Specifications”. The associated methodology used to implement those changes in a measured and controlled approach that manages risk the FDA calls the “Algorithm Change Protocol.”
Take Away
Artificial intelligence will transform many industries, and while some want to hit the pause button on progress, the FDA is trying to define how much control can be left to machine learning. The Guidance released in April with a three-month comment period is expected to allow medical equipment and software designers to progress into the unknown, with all stakeholders having as their goal better outcomes for patients.
If you wish to send requested comments to the FDA, the agency requests it be received by July 3, 2023 to ensure the agency considers your comment on the draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the guidance.

Engineers at MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School have designed a new type of nanoparticle that can be administered to the lungs, where it can deliver messenger RNA encoding useful proteins.
With further development, these particles could offer an inhalable treatment for cystic fibrosis and other diseases of the lung, the researchers say.
“This is the first demonstration of highly efficient delivery of RNA to the lungs in mice. We are hopeful that it can be used to treat or repair a range of genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis,” says Daniel Anderson, a professor in MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering and a member of MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES).
In a study of mice, Anderson and his colleagues used the particles to deliver mRNA encoding the machinery needed for CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. That could open the door to designing therapeutic nanoparticles that can snip out and replace disease-causing genes.
The senior authors of the study, which appears today in Nature Biotechnology, are Anderson; Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT; and Wen Xue, an associate professor at the UMass Medical School RNA Therapeutics Institute. Bowen Li, a former MIT postdoc who is now an assistant professor at the University of Toronto; Rajith Singh Manan, an MIT postdoc; and Shun-Qing Liang, a postdoc at UMass Medical School, are paper’s lead authors.
Targeting the Lungs
Messenger RNA holds great potential as a therapeutic for treating a variety of diseases caused by faulty genes. One obstacle to its deployment thus far has been difficulty in delivering it to the right part of the body, without off-target effects. Injected nanoparticles often accumulate in the liver, so several clinical trials evaluating potential mRNA treatments for diseases of the liver are now underway. RNA-based Covid-19 vaccines, which are injected directly into muscle tissue, have also proven effective. In many of those cases, mRNA is encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle — a fatty sphere that protects mRNA from being broken down prematurely and helps it enter target cells.
Several years ago, Anderson’s lab set out to design particles that would be better able to transfect the epithelial cells that make up most of the lining of the lungs. In 2019, his lab created nanoparticles that could deliver mRNA encoding a bioluminescent protein to lung cells. Those particles were made from polymers instead of lipids, which made them easier to aerosolize for inhalation into the lungs. However, more work is needed on those particles to increase their potency and maximize their usefulness.
In their new study, the researchers set out to develop lipid nanoparticles that could target the lungs. The particles are made up of molecules that contain two parts: a positively charged headgroup and a long lipid tail. The positive charge of the headgroup helps the particles to interact with negatively charged mRNA, and it also help mRNA to escape from the cellular structures that engulf the particles once they enter cells.
The lipid tail structure, meanwhile, helps the particles to pass through the cell membrane. The researchers came up with 10 different chemical structures for the lipid tails, along with 72 different headgroups. By screening different combinations of these structures in mice, the researchers were able to identify those that were most likely to reach the lungs.
Efficient Delivery
In further tests in mice, the researchers showed that they could use the particles to deliver mRNA encoding CRISPR/Cas9 components designed to cut out a stop signal that was genetically encoded into the animals’ lung cells. When that stop signal is removed, a gene for a fluorescent protein turns on. Measuring this fluorescent signal allows the researchers to determine what percentage of the cells successfully expressed the mRNA.
After one dose of mRNA, about 40 percent of lung epithelial cells were transfected, the researchers found. Two doses brought the level to more than 50 percent, and three doses up to 60 percent. The most important targets for treating lung disease are two types of epithelial cells called club cells and ciliated cells, and each of these was transfected at about 15 percent.
“This means that the cells we were able to edit are really the cells of interest for lung disease,” Li says. “This lipid can enable us to deliver mRNA to the lung much more efficiently than any other delivery system that has been reported so far.”
The new particles also break down quickly, allowing them to be cleared from the lung within a few days and reducing the risk of inflammation. The particles could also be delivered multiple times to the same patient if repeat doses are needed. This gives them an advantage over another approach to delivering mRNA, which uses a modified version of harmless adenoviruses. Those viruses are very effective at delivering RNA but can’t be given repeatedly because they induce an immune response in the host.
“This achievement paves the way for promising therapeutic lung gene delivery applications for various lung diseases,” says Dan Peer, director of the Laboratory of Precision NanoMedicine at Tel Aviv University, who was not involved in the study. “This platform holds several advantages compared to conventional vaccines and therapies, including that it’s cell-free, enables rapid manufacturing, and has high versatility and a favorable safety profile.”
To deliver the particles in this study, the researchers used a method called intratracheal instillation, which is often used as a way to model delivery of medication to the lungs. They are now working on making their nanoparticles more stable, so they could be aerosolized and inhaled using a nebulizer.
The researchers also plan to test the particles to deliver mRNA that could correct the genetic mutation found in the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, in a mouse model of the disease. They also hope to develop treatments for other lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, as well as mRNA vaccines that could be delivered directly to the lungs.
The research was funded by Translate Bio, the National Institutes of Health, the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy startup fund, a PRiME Postdoctoral Fellowship from the University of Toronto, the American Cancer Society, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Long COVID Trial Is “Phase 2b/3 Ready”. In February 2023, Axcella announced the FDA accepted its IND for a Phase 2b/3 pivotal study testing AXA1125 in Long COVID. The design of the study was based on the results of its Phase 2a placebo-controlled trial in Long COVID announced in August 2022. The Phase 2a data showed statistically significant results in mental and physical fatigue scores. Although an experimental biomarker endpoint in muscle recovery was not met, the FDA accepted the IND for a Phase 2b/3 trial.

BOTHELL, Wash., March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCP) reports financial results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022, and provides updates on its antiviral pipeline, upcoming milestones and business activities.
“This is an eventful time for Cocrystal with multiple near-term milestones with our highly promising antiviral programs,” said Sam Lee, Ph.D., President and co-CEO of Cocrystal. “Preparations are ongoing with a UK regulatory filing to begin an influenza A Phase 2a human challenge study with our novel oral PB2 inhibitor CC-42344. Pending regulatory clearance, we expect patient enrollment to begin in the second half of this year.
“We are also preparing to file with the Australian regulatory agency to begin a first-in-human trial in our oral COVID-19 program with our novel, broad-spectrum protease inhibitor CDI-988. This trial is also slated to begin in the first half of 2023, subject to regulatory clearance,” he added. “In our norovirus program, preclinical development activities are ongoing and we plan to select a lead oral candidate by mid-2023.”
“We made significant progress over the past year that put us on pace to initiate two clinical trials during 2023,” said James Martin, CFO and co-CEO. “We expect our cash will be sufficient to fund operating activities for the coming year as we tightly manage our financial resources under our cost-efficient operating model. We also intend to pursue non-dilutive funding to further support development of our promising antiviral programs.”
Antiviral Product Pipeline Overview
We are developing antiviral therapeutics that inhibit the essential viral replication function of RNA viruses that cause acute and chronic viral diseases. Our drug discovery process focuses on the highly conserved regions of the viral enzymes and inhibitor-enzyme interactions at the atomic level. It differs from traditional, empirical medicinal chemistry approaches that often require iterative high-throughput compound screening and lengthy hit-to-lead processes. In designing drug candidates, we seek to anticipate and avert potential viral mutations leading to resistance. By designing and selecting drug candidates that interrupt the viral replication process and have specific binding characteristics, we seek to develop drugs that not only are effective against both the virus and possible mutants of the virus, but also have reduced off-target interactions that may cause undesirable clinical side effects. We will continue developing preclinical and clinical drug candidates using our proprietary drug discovery technology.
Influenza Programs
Influenza is a severe respiratory illness caused by either the influenza A or B virus that results in disease outbreaks mainly during the winter months. The global seasonal influenza market was valued at $6.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach up to $27.95 billion by 2029, according to Data Bridge Market Research.
Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza A
Our novel oral PB2 inhibitor, CC-42344, has shown excellent antiviral activity against influenza A strains including pandemic and seasonal strains, as well as strains resistant to Tamiflu® and Xofluza®.
In March 2022 we initiated enrollment in our randomized, double-controlled, dose-escalating Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of orally administered CC-42344 in healthy adults.
In April 2022 we announced preliminary Phase 1 study data demonstrating a favorable safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in the first two cohorts in the single-ascending dose portion of the study.
In July 2022 we reported PK results from the single-ascending dose of the study supporting once-daily dosing.
In December 2022 we reported favorable safety and tolerability results from the Phase 1 study with CC-42344 for influenza A.
We entered into an agreement with a UK-based clinical research organization to conduct a Phase 2a human challenge study evaluating safety, viral and clinical measures of orally administered CC-42344 in influenza A-infected subjects. Under the human challenge model, healthy adults will be infected with the influenza A virus under carefully controlled conditions, which we believe will hasten trial enrollment.
We expect to submit an application with the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency in the first half of 2023 to conduct this study. Pending clearance by the agency, we expect to initiate the study in the second half of 2023.
Preclinical development is underway with an inhaled formulation of CC-42344 as a treatment and prophylaxis for influenza A.
Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza A/B Program
Merck recently notified the Company that they continue development activities with the compounds discovered under this agreement and that they have filed on behalf of both companies multiple U.S. and international patent applications associated with these compounds. Merck continues to be responsible for managing the patents.
In January 2019 we entered into an Exclusive License and Research Collaboration Agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. (Merck) to discover and develop certain proprietary influenza antiviral agents that are effective against both influenza A and B strains. This agreement includes milestone payments of up to $156 million plus royalties on sales of products discovered under the agreement.
In January 2021 we announced completion of all research obligations under the agreement. Merck is now solely responsible for further preclinical and clinical development of compounds discovered under this agreement.
COVID-19 and Other Coronavirus Programs
By targeting viral replication enzymes and protease, we believe it is possible to develop an effective treatment for all coronavirus diseases including COVID-19, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Our main SARS-CoV-2 protease inhibitors showed potent in vitro pan-viral activity against common human coronaviruses, rhinoviruses and respiratory enteroviruses that cause the common cold, as well as against noroviruses that can cause symptoms of acute gastroenteritis.
Oral Protease Inhibitor CDI-988
We selected CDI-988 as our lead candidate for development as a potential oral treatment for SARS-CoV-2. CDI-988, which was designed and developed using our proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology, targets a highly conserved region in the active site of SARS-CoV-2 3CL (main) protease required for viral RNA replication.
CDI-988 exhibited superior in vitro potency against SARS-CoV-2 with activity maintained against current variants of concern, and demonstrated a safety profile and PK properties that are supportive of daily dosing.
We are currently conducting good laboratory practice (GLP) toxicology studies in preparation for a Phase 1 study.
Preparations are underway to submit an application to the Australian regulatory authority for a planned randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study. Pending regulatory clearance, we expect to initiate the study in the first half of 2023. We believe the FDA’s guidance for further development of our antiviral candidate CDI-45205 (described below) also provides us with a clearer pathway for our planned Phase 1 study with CDI-988, as well as directives for designing a subsequent Phase 2 study.
Intranasal/Pulmonary Protease Inhibitor CDI-45205
An IND-enabling study is ongoing with CDI-45205, our novel SARS-CoV-2 3CL (main) protease inhibitor being developed as a potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.
We received guidance from the FDA regarding further preclinical and clinical development of CDI-45205 that provides a clearer pathway for future clinical development.
CDI-45205 and several analogs showed potent in vitro activity against the main SARS-CoV-2 variants to date including the Omicron variant, surpassing the activity observed with the original Wuhan strain.
CDI-45205 demonstrated good bioavailability in mouse and rat PK studies via intraperitoneal injection, and no cytotoxicity against a variety of human cell lines. CDI-45205 also demonstrated a strong synergistic effect with the FDA-approved COVID-19 medicine remdesivir.
CDI-45205 was among the broad-spectrum viral protease inhibitors we obtained from Kansas State University Research Foundation (KSURF) under an exclusive license agreement announced in April 2020. We believe the protease inhibitors obtained from KSURF have the ability to inhibit the inactive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase replication enzymes into an active form.
Replication Inhibitors
We are using our proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology to discover replication inhibitors for orally administered therapeutic and prophylactic treatments for SARS-CoV-2. Replication inhibitors hold potential to work with protease inhibitors in a combination therapy regimen.
Norovirus Program
We are developing certain proprietary broad-spectrum, non-nucleoside polymerases for the treatment of human norovirus infections using our proprietary structure-based drug design technology platform. We also hold exclusive rights to norovirus protease inhibitors for use in humans under the KSURF license.
We are targeting the selection of an oral preclinical lead in the first half of 2023.
Norovirus is a global public health problem responsible for nearly 90% of epidemic, non-bacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world.
Hepatitis C Program
We are seeking a partner to advance the development of CC-31244 following the successful completion of a Phase 2a study. This compound has shown favorable safety and preliminary efficacy in a triple-regimen Phase 2a study in combination with Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) for the ultra-short duration treatment of individuals infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
HCV is a viral infection of the liver that causes both acute and chronic infection. In June 2022 the World Health Organization estimates that 58 million people worldwide have chronic HCV infection.
2022Financial Results
Research and development expenses for 2022 were $12.4 million compared with $8.8 million for 2021, with the increase primarily due to advancing our influenza lead candidate CC-42344 through a Phase 1 trial and preparation for a Phase 2a clinical trial planned for 2023, as well as advancing our lead COVID-19 clinical oral candidate CDI-988 in preparation for a Phase 1 clinical trial planned for 2023. General and administrative expenses for 2022 were $5.7 million compared with $5.4 million for 2021, with the increase primarily due to professional fees and litigation expenses.
The Company’s litigation with an insurer resulted in the insurance company obtaining a summary judgment during the second quarter of 2022 and accounted for a potential $1.6 million adverse award. The Company filed an appeal in July 2022. Pending the outcome of the appeal, the Company paid $1.6 million into the registry of the court, which stayed execution of the judgment. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held oral argument on the appeal on March 8, 2023, and the parties are still awaiting a ruling on the appeal.
The net loss for 2022 was $38.8 million, or $4.77 per share, compared with the net loss for 2021 of $14.2 million, or $0.16 per share. This increase was primarily due to a $19.1 million non-cash impairment-loss of goodwill and an increase in R&D expenses as we continue to advance CC-42344, CDI-988 and other product candidates.
Cocrystal reported unrestricted cash of $37.1 million as of December 31, 2022 compared with $58.7 million as of December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities for 2022 was $21.4 million. The Company reported working capital of $39.0 million and 8.1 million common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
