MyChart access returning to Kettering Health patients: Update
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — More systems are returning to normal operation as Kettering Health continues to recover from the May 20 cyberattack.
According to Kettering Health officials, MyChart is once again available to patients with nearly all of its functionality.
Kettering Health patients speak out on aftermath of cyberattack
Patients can use MyChart to schedule and view upcoming appointments, view prescription lists, message providers and view test results.
Kettering Health says patients may receive extra notifications from MyChart as they continue to restore patient data to EPIC, their electronic medical record system.
'This process— called 'backfill'— updates patient records in real time. When that happens, MyChart automatically sends text and email notifications to let you know,' said Kettering Health.
Officials remind patients to remain vigilant when reviewing any digital communications, as there are still reports of several scams surfacing after the cyberattack.

Ancora Heart Inc. Reaches First Enrollment Milestone in CORCINCH-HF Heart Failure Pivotal Trial
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ancora Heart, Inc., a medical device company developing a transcatheter device-based therapy to address heart failure (HF), today announced that it has reached the first enrollment milestone in the CORCINCH-HF pivotal trial evaluating the AccuCinch ® Transcatheter Left Ventricular Restoration System in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Six-month follow-up data on these 250 patients will support the company's Premarket Approval (PMA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 'The AccuCinch System is the only completely transcatheter procedure to treat the enlarged left ventricle. Reaching this milestone is an incredible accomplishment in heart failure research." - Jeff Closs, president and CEO, Ancora Heart Share The AccuCinch System is an investigational device designed to reduce the size of the left ventricle, reduce ventricular wall stress, and support and strengthen the heart wall. Results from early clinical studies were presented at the 2023 Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics conference and simultaneously published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure. The AccuCinch System was granted Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2022. 'The AccuCinch System is the only completely transcatheter procedure to treat the enlarged left ventricle,' said Jeff Closs, president and CEO of Ancora Heart. 'Reaching this milestone is an incredible accomplishment in heart failure research and a model example of collaboration across heart failure and structural heart care teams at participating CORCINCH-HF clinical trial sites. We'd like to thank study investigators for their commitment to innovation and partnership, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we work toward reaching our full enrollment target of 400 patients.' The CORCINCH-HF study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the AccuCinch System in patients who have symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction. An estimated 6.7 million adults in the U.S. live with heart failure, and about half have HFrEF. 1,2 'Despite advances in guideline-directed medical therapy, many patients with heart failure continue to experience debilitating symptoms,' said Ulrich Jorde, MD, global co-principal investigator of the CORCINCH-HF Study, professor of medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and section head of Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support at Montefiore Health System in New York. 'Reaching this milestone in the CORCINCH-HF study is a significant step toward determining whether this treatment option may improve the length and quality of their lives.' 'AccuCinch is a device-based therapy aimed at reverse remodeling of the enlarged left ventricle,' said Mark Reisman, MD*, global co-principal investigator of the CORCINCH-HF Study, director of structural heart disease at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and co-director of structural heart disease for NewYork-Presbyterian Queens and NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, who was recruited to Weill Cornell Medicine as a professor of medicine. 'This trial is designed to evaluate the safety of the device and procedure and whether we can improve heart structure and function and thereby help patients feel better, avoid hospitalizations and live longer.' About Heart Failure An estimated 6.7 million adults in the U.S. live with heart failure, a condition in which the heart's muscles weaken and lose their ability to pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body. 1,2 Heart failure patients suffer from debilitating symptoms, including persistent exhaustion, trouble breathing and confusion, as well as frequent hospitalizations. About half of HF patients have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and an enlarged left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart, which causes more stress on the heart and leads to reduced pumping efficiency. Up to 50% of people who develop heart failure die within five years of diagnosis. 3 About the AccuCinch ® Transcatheter Left Ventricular Restoration System The AccuCinch System is an investigational device designed to augment the existing care cardiologists provide their heart failure patients. For patients in whom HF has progressed beyond the ability of medications and pacemakers to manage symptoms, the AccuCinch System may provide a new treatment option to fill the gap between medication or pacemaker therapy and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) or a heart transplant. During the minimally invasive AccuCinch System procedure, a flexible implant is attached to the inner wall of the left ventricle and then cinched. The implant is intended to reduce the size of the left ventricle, reduce ventricular wall stress, and support and strengthen the heart wall. The AccuCinch System is under clinical evaluation to determine its potential benefits related to patient symptoms, quality of life and life expectancy. About the CORCINCH-HF Study The CORCINCH-HF Study (NCT04331769) is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter, international, clinical safety and effectiveness investigation of the AccuCinch Transcatheter Left Ventricular Restoration System, which is designed to enroll 400 patients at centers worldwide. The study has a unique design allowing initial analysis of safety and clinical effectiveness for PMA submission after the first 250 patients have reached six months of follow-up, and then a second analysis after the entire cohort has reached 12 months of follow-up. About Ancora Heart, Inc. Ancora Heart is a medical device company dedicated to providing new treatment options for people with heart failure (HF). The company's lead product is the AccuCinch ® Transcatheter Left Ventricular Restoration System, an investigational device currently being studied in the CORCINCH-HF pivotal trial.

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Completes Enrollment in SHASTA-3, SHASTA-4, and MUIR-3 Phase 3 Studies of Plozasiran
PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced that it has completed enrollment in SHASTA-3, SHASTA-4, and MUIR-3, the company's global Phase 3 clinical studies designed to support regulatory submissions for marketing approval of investigational plozasiran in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Arrowhead anticipates completing the primary portion of these studies in mid-2026 with topline data expected shortly thereafter and planned submissions for regulatory review and potential approval to follow. The company previously submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for plozasiran based on positive Phase 3 PALISADE study results in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome, which the U.S. FDA has accepted with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date set for November 18, 2025. Arrowhead anticipates completing the primary portion of these studies in mid-2026 with topline data expected shortly thereafter and planned submissions for regulatory review and potential approval to follow. 'Completion of enrollment for the SHASTA-3, SHASTA-4, and MUIR-3 studies represent important milestones for plozasiran,' said Bruce Given, M.D., Chief Medical Scientist at Arrowhead. 'These studies bring us closer to generating the datasets needed to support potential global regulatory submissions for plozasiran as a treatment for severe hypertriglyceridemia, pending positive results. With a primary endpoint focused on triglyceride reduction at 12 months, we remain on track for study completion by mid-2026. Arrowhead's clinical development, clinical operations, and regulatory teams continue to execute complex global clinical studies with speed and precision. We owe the entire team involved a debt of gratitude for efficiently initiating these studies in 24 countries and enrolling approximately 2,200 patients. We're grateful to the investigators, caregivers, and patients for participating in these clinical studies, and we thank them for their trust in Arrowhead and in plozasiran.' About Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG) is characterized by triglyceride (TG) levels greater than 500 mg/dL, with the most severe form being familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) where TGs typically exceed 880 mg/dL. SHTG significantly increases the risk of acute pancreatitis (AP), which can often include recurrent attacks requiring repeat hospital admissions and worsening outcomes. AP risk is proportional to the number, characteristics, and concentration of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLs), particularly chylomicrons, and increases as TGs rise. Elevated TGs can also increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Limited treatment options exist to sustainably reduce TGs below guideline directed risk thresholds. About SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 Phase 3 Studies SHASTA-3 (NCT06347003) and SHASTA-4 (NCT06347016) are double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plozasiran in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Between the two studies, approximately 750 participants were randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of 25 mg plozasiran or placebo. The primary endpoint is percent change in fasting serum triglyceride levels from baseline to month 12 compared to placebo. After month 12, eligible participants will be offered an opportunity to continue in an optional open-label extension. About MUIR-3 Phase 3 Study MUIR-3 (NCT06347133) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plozasiran in adults with hypertriglyceridemia (TGs greater than 150 mg/dL and less than 500 mg/dL). Approximately 1,450 participants were randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of 25 mg plozasiran or placebo. The primary endpoint is percent change in fasting serum triglyceride levels from baseline to month 12 compared to placebo. About Plozasiran Plozasiran, previously called ARO-APOC3, is a first-in-class investigational RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic designed to reduce production of apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) which is a component of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and a key regulator of triglyceride metabolism. APOC3 increases triglyceride levels in the blood by inhibiting breakdown of TRLs by lipoprotein lipase and uptake of TRL remnants by receptors in the liver. The goal of treatment with plozasiran is to reduce the level of APOC3, thereby reducing triglycerides and restoring lipids to more normal levels. In multiple clinical studies, investigational plozasiran has demonstrated reductions in triglycerides and multiple atherogenic lipoproteins in patients with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG), and mixed hyperlipidemia. Plozasiran has been generally well tolerated to date with treatment emergent adverse events reported that generally reflect the comorbidities and underlying conditions of the study populations. Across clinical studies and study populations, the most frequently reported treatment emergent adverse events for the 25 mg dose that is proposed for marketing approval were COVID-19, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and abdominal pain. Plozasiran is being investigated in the SUMMIT program of clinical studies, including the PALISADE Phase 3 study in patients with FCS, the SHASTA studies in patients with SHTG, and the MUIR studies in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia. Plozasiran in the treatment of patients with FCS has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, and Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Orphan Medicinal Product Designation by the European Medicines Agency. Investigational plozasiran has been submitted for marketing authorization in treatment of FCS to multiple global regulatory authorities but has not been reviewed or approved to treat any disease.

Forte Biosciences Announces Positive Data in FB102 Celiac Disease Phase 1B Study
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forte Biosciences, Inc. ( (NASDAQ: FBRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on autoimmune and autoimmune-related diseases, today announced positive data from a Phase 1b trial in celiac disease for lead program FB102 (FB102-101). The company will be hosting a conference call today at 8:30 am ET. Prof. Jason Tye-Din, Head of Celiac Research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and principal investigator in the FB102-101 study will be participating in the call. Please connect to the call using the following link: The event and accompanying slides can also be accessed by visiting the investor relations section of the company's website at An archived webcast will be available on the company's website following the event. The FB102-101 Phase 1b celiac disease study enrolled 32 subjects 3:1 randomized (24 on FB102 and 8 on placebo). Subjects received 4 doses of FB102 (10 mg/kg) and underwent a 16 day gluten challenge. In addition to safety and tolerability, the study assessed morphologic and inflammatory endpoints along with gluten challenge (GC) induced symptoms. FB102 demonstrated a statistically significant benefit on the composite histological VCIEL endpoint (change from baseline). The mean VCIEL change from baseline was -1.849 for placebo subjects compared to 0.079 for FB102 treated subjects (p=0.0099). The change in the density of CD3-positive T cells, or IELs, from baseline was an increase of 13.3 for placebo subjects compared to a decline of 1.5 for FB102 treated subjects (p=0.0035). Baseline IEL density was 25.6 for the placebo subjects and 23.5 for the FB102 treated subjects. The mean change in the Vh:Cd ratio from baseline was -0.173 (0.21) for placebo subjects compared to -0.046 (0.09), a 73% improvement for FB102 treated subjects compared to placebo. Gluten challenge induced GI symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and abdominal bloating) reported during the 16 day gluten challenge from patient diaries/AE collection demonstrated a 42% benefit for FB102 treated subject (4.0 events per subject) compared to placebo (6.9 events per subject). There were no dropouts in the study. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were primarily mild (grade 1) with no grade 3 or higher SAEs reported in the FB102 arm. 'We want to congratulate all of the investigators and researchers that supported this study. I also want to acknowledge the incredible dedication and hard work of the Forte team.
