2) The Harmonic™ clinical trial website is now live at www.harmonictrial.com.

On September 22nd at 12:00pm ET, Lantern Pharma will be hosting a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) webinar on LP-184, LP-284, and the treatment of pediatric cancers.
The webinar will feature a leading pediatric cancer researcher and Lantern collaborator, Peter Houghton, Ph.D., Professor & Principal Investigator at Greehey Children's Cancer Research Institute (GCCRI) at UT Health Science Center-San Antonio.
Why it matters: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and was created to drive awareness for pediatric cancer patients and the disparities that exist in pediatric cancer research and drug development:
Throughout September, Lantern will be raising awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness month through Twitter and LinkedIn posts.
Lantern entered a collaboration with Actuate Therapeutics, Inc. in Q2 of 2021 to leverage RADR® to accelerate the development of biomarkers for Actuate’s drug candidate, elraglusib (also known as 9-ING-41).
Why it matters: Using advanced ML ensemble based algorithms and other computational approaches, RADR® has aided in the identification of actionable biomarkers and modeling patient clinical response to elraglusib. These insights are being used to inform the design of Phase 2 randomized clinical trials for elraglusib.
What's next: These methods will be applied for biomarker validation and will be expanded to incorporate modeling with patient data including, RNA, ctDNA, and soluble biomarkers.
Lantern has received equity in Actuate and has the potential to receive additional equity upon meeting development milestones.
Lantern will be presenting new preclinical data at several conferences this quarter:
Additional information about the new preclinical data can be heard at the conference presentations or seen in upcoming press releases.
