Lantern Pharma Inc.’s (NASDAQ: LTRN) AI-Powered Platform Delivers Promising and Durable Results in Lung Cancer Trial

  • Lantern Pharma uses a proprietary AI platform, RADR®, to guide its oncology drug development, enabling rapid drug candidate identification and targeted trial design based on genomic and biomarker data.
  • A Phase 2 trial patient achieved a complete response in their primary cancer lesions after multiple prior therapies failed and has remained responsive to LP-300 for two years signaling durable clinical benefit in this challenging population.
  • The target population, never-smokers with non-small cell lung cancer, represents a growing global unmet need estimated at over $4 billion annually.

Lantern Pharma (NASDAQ: LTRN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to redefine oncology drug development, recently reported an encouraging clinical outcome in its Phase 2 HARMONIC(TM) trial, where a patient with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) achieved a complete response using LP-300, a compound optimized through Lantern’s AI-powered platform, RADR(R) (https://ibn.fm/II6O6).

This outcome is particularly notable because the patient had previously undergone three unsuccessful lines of treatment, including immunotherapy and targeted kinase inhibitors. The patient’s sustained remission, now over two years, highlights the potential of AI-powered drug development to identify novel therapeutic opportunities for difficult-to-treat cancers.

RADR(R), short for Response Algorithm for Drug Positioning & Rescue, is Lantern’s proprietary platform for integrating large-scale genomic, biomarker, and preclinical data. The system is designed to uncover drug-cancer matches and synergistic combinations faster and more cost-effectively than traditional approaches. It was instrumental in advancing LP-300 by confirming its potential mechanism of action and compatibility with existing chemotherapy regimens.

In the HARMONIC(TM) trial, LP-300 is being tested in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin, targeting never-smoker NSCLC patients who have progressed after prior kinase inhibitor therapy. The trial is randomized, open-label, and enrolling patients in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan. With approximately 90 participants planned, the study compares LP-300 plus chemotherapy against chemotherapy alone.

The early signals are encouraging. Lantern’s lead-in cohort showed an 86% clinical benefit rate and a 43% objective response rate. In one case, a 70-year-old never-smoker with advanced disease showed a 57% tumor volume reduction in 2024. By early 2025, imaging confirmed a complete response in both lung and adrenal lesions. No dose-limiting toxicities or significant adverse reactions were reported over 21 cycles of treatment.

“This outcome provides important confirmation of our data and AI-driven approach to drug development and gives us growing confidence as we advance toward potential future registration-enabling studies for this underserved patient population that has no approved treatment options after failing targeted kinase therapies,” said Lantern CEO Panna Sharma, commenting on the results. “This remarkable case exemplifies several of the things we have hoped to observe with LP-300 in the HARMONIC trial. To see a heavily pre-treated patient not only achieve a complete response in their target cancer lesions but maintain that response with excellent quality of life is truly extraordinary,” Sharma added.

The never-smoker NSCLC population is clinically distinct. It has grown significantly over the past 30 years, from 15% to over 25% of lung cancer cases globally. In East Asia, never-smokers account for nearly 35% of new NSCLC diagnoses. Yet, no therapies are approved specifically for this subset of patients, despite the distinct molecular drivers and limited treatment options after failure of kinase targeted therapies. Lantern estimates this group represents a global market opportunity exceeding $4 billion annually.

RADR(R) was built to address exactly this kind of niche: genetically defined cancers with unmet needs. By leveraging machine learning, computationally-driven mechanistic biology, and biomarker discovery, Lantern is not only identifying drug candidates but also helping design trials that focus on populations most likely to benefit. According to the company, RADR(R) has processed over 200 billion oncology-specific data points to date, enabling the advancement of multiple clinical programs.

In addition to LP-300, Lantern’s pipeline includes two other small molecule candidates (LP-184, in a Phase 1a trial for advanced solid tumors and glioblastoma multiforme, and LP-284, in a Phase 1 trial for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other solid tumors), an antibody-drug conjugate program, and programs in CNS and brain cancers. All of the programs are being developed using RADR(R) to streamline discovery and development timelines. The company is also engaged in research partnerships with academic institutions and global trial networks.

Clinical updates from the HARMONIC(TM) trial are expected through the second half of 2025 as enrollment progresses.

Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-A: SVM) (TSX: SVM) Reports Record Q4 Results and Strong Cash Flow for Fiscal 2025

  • Silvercorp’s Q4 revenue rose 76% year-over-year to $75.1 million.
  • Operating cash flow for the quarter reached $30.7 million, nearly tripling the $10.2 million reported in Q4 Fiscal 2024.
  • $13 million was invested into growth projects.
  • Even after investments made, Silvercorp added $14.5 million to cash, ending Fiscal 2025 with cash and short-term investments of $369.1 million.

Silvercorp Metals (NYSE-A: SVM) (TSX: SVM), a Canadian mining company producing silver, gold, lead, and zinc, with a long history of profitability, delivered its strongest fourth-quarter performance to date, closing out Fiscal 2025, ended March, with significant growth in both revenue and operating cash flow. The results reflect a combination of increased production volumes and stronger realized prices across the company’s key metals (https://ibn.fm/RuJVg).

Revenue for Q4 Fiscal 2025 reached $75.1 million, a 76% increase compared to $42.7 million in the same quarter last year. The growth was fueled by higher production—up 62% for gold and 42% for silver—and rising commodity prices, particularly a 33% increase in gold and 34% in silver.

Cash flow from operating activities was $30.7 million in the quarter, nearly tripling the $10.2 million reported in Q4 of the prior year. On a full-year basis, operating cash flow totaled $138.6 million.

Income from mine operations in the quarter climbed to $26.1 million, up from $13.0 million in Q4 Fiscal 2024. Silvercorp also increased capital investments in its core operations, spending $9.9 million in China and $3.1 million on its El Domo project in Ecuador during the quarter.

Even after these investments, the company added cash to its balance sheet and reported cash and short-term investments of $369.1 million, up from $354.6 million at the end of December 2024. It also held a $70.9 million portfolio of equity investments and has access to a $175 million stream financing credit to support El Domo mine construction.

To quickly summarize the full year results, just like the quarter, Fiscal 2025 was a record-breaking year across the board. As a growing and profitable silver producer that provides leverage to higher metals prices, these results reinforce why Silvercorp remains a compelling investment.

A clarification for investors is that, while earnings per share were slightly lower than some estimates, two accounting items contributed to this result. The first was a $20.6 million non-cash charge related to the fair value of derivative liabilities linked to the conversion rights of convertible notes and warrants. The second was a reclassification of certain mining preparation costs, which were expensed during the quarter. Neither of these items impacted cash flow.

The company completed its all-share acquisition of Adventus Mining Corporation during the fiscal year, adding the El Domo and Condor projects in Ecuador to its development pipeline.

Development efforts are progressing across multiple fronts. At the El Domo Copper-Gold Project, the company released an updated construction budget to $240.5 million, slightly below previous feasibility study estimate of $248 million. Production is expected to begin by the end of 2026.

Separately, an updated mineral resource estimate for the Condor Gold Project was released recently. The revised estimate will support a Preliminary Economic Assessment for a high-grade underground operation, expected to be completed later this year. In parallel, a 3,500-metre surface drilling campaign is now underway to refine exploration targets.

Silvercorp also declared a semi-annual dividend of US$0.0125 per share, payable by June 26, 2025, to shareholders of record, as of a June 6 announcement (https://ibn.fm/dtCfs).

With a growing portfolio of projects in Ecuador and China, and a disciplined approach to spending and development, Silvercorp remains focused on generating long-term shareholder value. Its 18-year track record of profitability, combined with a strong balance sheet and robust cash flows, offers a compelling opportunity for investors.

Vivakor Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVK): A Modern Answer to Oil’s Dirty Problem

  • Vivakor’s Q1 2025 revenue soared 133% year-over-year to $37.3 million
  • The company announced a special dividend to shareholders, distributing shares in Adapti Inc. as part of a non-cash value initiative
  • Vivakor specializes in sustainable energy transport, reuse, and remediation, critical as oil demand persists and environmental urgency rises

Despite growing investment in renewable energy, the world continues to run on oil and will for decades to come. From manufacturing solar panels to powering global transport, fossil fuels remain deeply embedded in every corner of industrial life. But as the environmental toll of this dependency grows harder to ignore, a middle path is gaining momentum: sustainably managing the dirty byproducts of oil while continuing to support energy demand. That’s exactly where Vivakor (NASDAQ: VIVK) has carved its niche; offering integrated solutions that transport, store, reuse, and remediate energy materials across the U.S.

A Record Start 

Vivakor kicked off the year with impressive momentum, reporting a 133% increase in revenue to $37.3 million for Q1 2025. Gross profit jumped 345% to $4.8 million, supported by a healthy gross margin of 12.7%. The lion’s share of revenue came from terminaling and storage services ($23.8 million), while transportation logistics, including related-party operations, contributed $13.5 million.

CEO James Ballengee attributed the performance to Vivakor’s strong long-term contracts and operational adjustments amid global uncertainties, including softening crude prices. “Our midstream assets—vehicles, trailers, pipelines, terminals—are contracted at the highest revenue levels in our company’s history,” said Ballengee. “We anticipate further expansion to support increasing demand.”

While Vivakor posted an operating loss of $6.4 million for the quarter, this figure included $8.2 million in non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, and asset disposition. The company’s adjusted EBITDA turned positive, reaching $319,000 compared to a slight loss a year earlier.

Vivakor ended the quarter with $248.2 million in total assets and $108.8 million in stockholders’ equity, underscoring its growing footprint in the U.S. energy infrastructure landscape.

Sustainable Energy Services 

Vivakor doesn’t promise a fossil-free utopia; it offers tangible solutions to modern energy problems. Operating one of the largest oilfield trucking fleets in the continental U.S., the company plays a central role in safely moving, storing, and processing crude oil and oilfield waste. Its remediation facilities are built to recover, reuse, and dispose of petroleum byproducts with minimal environmental impact.

This model not only supports existing energy infrastructure but also provides a cleaner, more responsible way to manage oil’s lifecycle. As solar and wind buildouts accelerate, the irony remains: they rely on oil at nearly every stage, from raw material extraction to panel deployment. Until a true fossil fuel alternative emerges, companies like Vivakor that handle the “messy middle” will be critical players.

Creating Value Beyond the Core Business

In addition to its operational achievements, Vivakor also made headlines by announcing a special dividend for shareholders. The dividend consists of shares in Adapti Inc., a tech firm that leverages AI to match products with influencers through its AdaptAI platform.

Vivakor owns roughly 206,595 shares in Adapti (approximately 13.5% of its outstanding common stock) and will distribute a portion of that equity to shareholders, excluding shares held by Vivakor executives who have waived their right to participate. Based on current valuations, the dividend is worth approximately $0.815 million.

This move not only rewards investors but highlights Vivakor’s non-traditional approach to value creation, using owned equity stakes in outside ventures as an asset strategy.

Positioned for a New Era of Energy Accountability

The energy transition isn’t just about replacing oil. It’s about managing its risks, cleaning up its footprint, and building systems that are both scalable and sustainable. Vivakor’s end-to-end platform fits neatly into this reality, offering a responsible solution in a world that still runs on hydrocarbons.

From rising revenues to shareholder-friendly policies, Vivakor is proving that cleaner energy services and solid business performance don’t have to be mutually exclusive. And as 2025 unfolds, the company looks well-positioned to continue growing its reach, while helping the oil-driven world we inherited operate more sustainably.
