UNOS Advances Plan to Restructure Transplant Network Governance to Best Serve Patients

United Network for Organ Sharing

United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the mission-driven non-profit that serves as the nation’s Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), has recommended a plan to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to restructure the two organizations’ respective boards of directors and establish the OPTN as an independent non-profit entity. The move is intended to increase autonomy and transparency to better serve the nation’s transplant patients. In a letter sent today to HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson, UNOS leadership requested HRSA’s approval of a proposed modification to the organization’s contract with the federal government that would establish two distinct boards of directors for UNOS and the OPTN. Separating the boards would require the establishment of OPTN as an independent, nonprofit entity. UNOS Board President Dr. Jerry McCauley, Vice President Dr. Dianne LaPointe Rudow, Past President Dr. Matt Cooper, Vice President of Patient and Donor Affairs Valinda L. Jones and UNOS Interim CEO Dr. Maureen McBride authored the letter. “It is critical that key areas of authority, responsibility and accountability between and among HRSA, the OPTN, and the OPTN contractor be definitively established to ensure an effective governance model for the benefit of the patients, donors and donor families we serve,” wrote McCauley, Rudow, Cooper, Jones and McBride. Since the formation of the OPTN, the OPTN and UNOS have used a unitary board approach, wherein the UNOS Board serves as the OPTN Board. This is done in compliance with the National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA), its enabling regulation and the current OPTN contract that is held by UNOS. However, with the evolution of the U.S. organ donation and transplantation system, UNOS, HRSA, regulators, and members of Congress have determined that transplant patients will be best served if the OPTN and its Board were given greater independence. UNOS first initiated discussions with HRSA about the process of developing an independent OPTN in May 2021. As the federal administrator that oversees the OPTN contract, HRSA is essential to endorse the proposed restructuring. “We respectfully request that HRSA approve this modification quickly, as separating the boards raises many complex questions and will require extensive collaboration to ensure a seamless transition for our community,” wrote McCauley, Rudow, Cooper, Jones and McBride. “The end of the current contract, September 29, 2023, would be an ideal time to complete the separation of the boards.” This is the latest in a series of actions by UNOS to further improve the U.S. organ donation and transplant system. During an OPTN Board of Directors meeting on December 5, 2022, UNOS leadership called for the donation and transplant community to expand upon ongoing improvements to the system, which achieved a world record number of annual transplants in 2021 and 2022 and recently performed the one millionth U.S. organ transplant in 2022. In the days following the meeting, UNOS has engaged with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. Digital Service and other public and private stakeholders in the pursuit of this goal. A copy of the full letter can be found here. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the federal government. The OPTN helps create and define organ allocation and distribution policies that make the best use of donated organs. This process involves continuously evaluating new advances and discoveries so policies can be adapted to best serve patients waiting for transplants. All transplant programs and organ procurement organizations throughout the country are OPTN members and are obligated to follow the policies the OPTN creates for allocating organs.

Elsevier Introduces the World’s First and Most Expansive 3D Human Anatomy Model Featuring Different Skin Tones and Facial Features to Tackle Racial Bias in Healthcare

Elsevier

Elsevier, a global leader in evidence-based clinical practice content, research publishing and information analytics, today announced the newest edition of its revolutionary 3D anatomy teaching platform, Complete Anatomy 2023, which will feature the most expansive set of skin tone selections ever available in global health education. The release of Complete Anatomy 2023 delivers the next step in Elsevier’s commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion in medical education and comes on the heels of the company’s release last year of the world’s most advanced 3D full female anatomy model, breaking a centuries-long pattern of male-dominated teaching models. For hundreds of years, light-skinned bodies have dominated anatomy learning, underscoring the lack of racial representation in global teaching materials. A 2018 study in the Journal of Medical Education and Curricular Development found that less than 5% of images in general medical texts included dark skin tones. The team at 3D4Medical from Elsevier, the creators of Complete Anatomy, spent years meticulously researching and consulting with anthropologists, ancestral diversity experts, professors, students and 3D artists to develop a broad spectrum of skin tones and facial features so students around the world can learn from a model that more closely represents them and the patient populations they will serve. It’s an important step in addressing unconscious bias in future clinicians. Jan Herzhoff, President of Elsevier Health said: “As a world leader in health education, we are committed to advancing inclusion in healthcare and creating an inclusive learning experience for all students and clinicians. Complete Anatomy 2023 reflects years of work to ensure the highest standard for racial diversity in medical teaching and training materials. This is the latest milestone on Elsevier’s journey to making sure everyone feels represented in medical education resources and providing more racially equitable learning opportunities to help improve patient outcomes.” With over 20 million downloads and over 3.4 million active users, Complete Anatomy from Elsevier is the world’s most advanced 3D anatomy platform used at more than 500 institutions and clinical organizations globally. Complete Anatomy’s mission is to help students be better prepared for medical practice in the real world from their first day of medical school while increasing inclusion, diversity, and representation in learning. Users will now be offered a range of facial characteristics and skin tones to customize their model (male or female) for lessons. Updates and further customizations can be made at any time. Irene Walsh, Director of Product, Content and Design at 3D4Medical from Elsevier said: “The urgent need to actively introduce broader representation into learning resources for future healthcare professionals is well-documented. As a global product, Complete Anatomy is invested in leading the way to offer diverse materials for students, educators, and clinicians to help create an inclusive approach to their learning and teaching. We want to be part of the solution and aim to deliver world-class anatomical accuracy and virtual dissection capabilities with inclusivity at the heart of everything we do.” The medical field grapples with bias on several fronts, including sex and race. The positioning of the light-skinned European male as the universalized default goes back to the advent of anatomy study in the western world. Centuries later, diverse skin tones and facial features are still lacking; something that can negatively impact patient care. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that racial bias amongst healthcare workers can be linked to poorer patient outcomes for people of color. One important example is in skin cancer treatment, which requires clinicians to look for melanomas on nails, hands, and feet. Melanomas can appear differently on differing skin tones. Thus, resulting in an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis if a healthcare professional is not familiar with how melanomas present on differing skin tones. The same problem can be seen when diagnosing conditions such as Lyme disease. According to a study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, because darker skin tones are not represented enough in medical textbooks, it is difficult for physicians to recognize dermatologic manifestations in diseases like Lyme disease. A delayed diagnosis here can ultimately lead to patients suffering from more severe neurological issues. Dr. Fatimah Jackson, Professor of Biological Anatomy, Howard University said: “The striking absence of different skin tones and different physical traits in the medical field is something universities and health educators of all kinds are finally taking notice of. For so long, students and faculty of color have had to learn and teach in what has, in ways, been an unfamiliar setting. This is a pivotal step taken by 3D4Medical from Elsevier to address a prevalent bias in the healthcare field. It’s a move that will hopefully put us on course to creating a more representative and inclusive environment for all those that dedicate themselves to the health and service of others.” Complete Anatomy 2023 is officially available in The App Store from Apple, Windows, and Google Play. #### Notes to Editors For more information, interviews, B-roll, and a free trial or staffed demonstration of Complete Anatomy 2023 and its groundbreaking diversity features, members of the media should contact Dan DiPietro-James, Global Media Relations Director at Elsevier or Ty Guzman-Touchberry of WE Communications – contacts above.

Cybele Investments served as a distributor to the transaction. Attorneys Reut Alfiah and Oded Har-Even, of Sullivan & Worcester, accompanied the company in the transaction. A little over a week ago, the company announced the approval of a NIS 3.5 million (US$1 million) budget grant by Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial R&D Foundation (BIRD) to support Kadimastem and iTolerance Inc.’s joint project to develop and commercialize a breakthrough regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for chronic immuno-suppression. The total project budget is NIS 7 million, for a period of 30 months. iTolerance is a US company based in Florida that has developed an innovative technology (iTol 100) with the aim of enabling the transplantation of allogenic cells (genetically different from the patient) without tissue matching and without suppressing the recipient's immune system. In preparation for the rights offering, the Company provided a voluntary update on its activities. Regarding the AstroRX product for the treatment of ALS, the company has updated that it intends to submit an IND to the FDA for a phase II/a clinical trial by the end of January 2023.

The Company also updated that it is in initial communication with a private company to examine a strategic investment in the company and/or strategic cooperation. Asaf Shiloni, CEO: "The raise from the main stakeholders who have been accompanying the company since its inception, gives a boost to the company's development plan and will allow us to securely move forward with the submission of the IND to the American’s FDA, and to move towards a phase IIa clinical trial in the US for patients with ALS." Ronen Twito, Chairman: "We welcome the confidence of the company's main stakeholders in its management, the company's assets, and the quality of science, at a time when the world's capital markets are unstable.
