$VTGN Announces Positive Preclinical Data for Potential Anxiety Treatment

  • VTGN CEO “even more excited about PH94B’s potential to change lives without the risky side effects and safety concerns of benzos”
  • Study results suggest PH94B’s mechanism of action may not have benzodiazepine-like side effects, such as sedation, cognitive impairment or abuse liability
  • Company making significant progress in preparing PH94B for launch of pivotal Phase 3 study for acute treatment of anxiety in adults with social anxiety disorder

VistaGen Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VTGN) has reported new preclinical findings differentiating the mechanism of action of PH94B from that of benzodiazepines (https://ibn.fm/Al4ur). PH94B is an intranasal neuroactive steroid VistaGen is preparing for Phase 3 development as a potential acute rapid-onset treatment of anxiety in adults with social anxiety disorder. As a solution to anxiety notably lacking the notorious side effects of traditional medications, the formulation could be a game-changer to the world of mental health.

“We are very pleased with the results of these studies that suggest PH94B’s mechanism of action may not have benzodiazepine-like side effects, such as sedation and cognitive impairment, or abuse liability,” said VistaGen CEO Shawn K. Singh. “While benzodiazepines provide relief for many Americans struggling with anxiety, the extremely risky safety profile does not lend itself to long-term use. The mechanism of action contributes to the safety profile.”

VistaGen, a biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for anxiety, depression and other central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, reported that new in vitro electrophysiology data demonstrating that PH94B’s mechanism of action does not involve direct activation of GABA-A receptors. That is in direct contrast to the mechanism of action of benzodiazepines (benzos), which act as direct positive modulators of GABA-A receptors.

“As we have seen in Phase 2 clinical studies, while PH94B is able to produce rapid-onset benzo-like, anti-anxiety effects, this study demonstrates that PH94B does not have a benzo-like mechanism of action,” noted Singh. “As we approach Phase 3 development of PH94B, especially given the FDA’s recent public announcement about safety concerns associated with benzo use, these new data make us even more excited about PH94B’s potential to change lives without the risky side effects and safety concerns of benzos.”

In additional news, VistaGen also provided business updates and released its financial results for the fiscal 2021 second quarter ended September 30, 2020 (https://ibn.fm/kBQkL). Key highlights for the company included a positive FDA meeting that outlined the pathway to a key PH94B Phase 3 study beginning recruitment Q2 2021, along with news that the company had received more than $17.5 million in net proceeds from a public offering of common stock and a PH94B upfront license payment. The company also noted positive new data had been gathered from its second preclinical study of AV-101 in combination with probenecid.

“We see a significant rise in mental health concerns as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the daily lives of millions of individuals,” observed Singh. “We are committed to developing innovative therapies that provide relief to those suffering from anxiety and depression, and we are working diligently towards that goal.

“We are making significant progress in preparing PH94B for launch of a pivotal Phase 3 study for acute treatment of anxiety in adults with social anxiety disorder in the second quarter of 2021,” he continued. “After reaching consensus with the FDA on the key components of the study design, it will be very similar to the statistically significant Phase 2 study of PH94B in social anxiety disorder. We are also working with the FDA to finalize details for our Phase 2A study of PH94B in adjustment disorder, which we are planning to initiate in early 2021.”

VistaGen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing new generation medicines for anxiety, depression and other CNS disorders where the current standard of care is inadequate, resulting in high unmet need. Each of VistaGen’s three drug candidates has a differentiated mechanism of action, an exceptional safety profile in all studies to date and therapeutic potential in multiple CNS markets.

$POAI Psychologist Explains Reason Behind Reckless Behavior Amid Worsening Pandemic

In the last month, COVID-19 cases have increased significantly in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The recent numbers top the figures recorded during the first wave of the coronavirus when the pandemic first hit. The rising numbers isn’t the most puzzling factor about this; more puzzling may be the fact that, despite the rising cases, people continue to make plans to meet up with family and friends during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, instead of social distancing.

To help contain the contagion, officials in Philadelphia introduced restrictions last week that limited the number of people in outdoor gatherings and closed museums, gyms and indoor dining. Restrictions on capacity of people in gatherings was also introduced by Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey. The announcement noted that, before the restrictions came in effect, people carried on with their activities, including going to parties and dining out, a normal many had thought was left in a pre-corona world.

But why is it that some individuals thought it best to continue socializing even as the risk of contracting the coronavirus grew?

Assistant psychology professor Melissa Auerbach explains that after a long time of not being able to interact with people in a social setting, individuals grew tired, which allowed them to so easily disregard the growing coronavirus cases when it came to making decisions.

The Temple University professor has studied health risk behaviors and stress; she says that individuals possess fixed mental resources when it comes to self-control. The lack of socializing, the pandemic and the ongoing recession only aids in further depletion of self-control.

Auerbach states that individuals begin the descent into a downward spiral when they are restricted from interacting with others. This may cause people to go for that which conforms to their wants rather than that which is real. She adds that the weather may also have a hand in this behavior, given that both October and November are peak seasonal affective disorder months. This may prompt individuals to seek out their support systems to help them cope with stress or indulge in activities that help them decompress or relax.

Seeing a person in a position of power, such as the president of the United States, flouting the same guidelines that have been implemented to help prevent the spread of the virus may also encourage individuals to engage in these risky exploits.

Regardless, it should be noted that the idea that if you have not contracted the virus yet, you may be impregnable to it is absurd to say the least.

The coronavirus pandemic is certainly a recent challenge, but many biotech companies have been engaged in finding solutions to debilitating conditions that have existed for much long, including cancer. Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), for example, is a company whose sole aim is to improve cancer diagnosis through the use of AI and data analytics.

$NETE As World Transitions away from Gas Guzzlers, Net Element Entering EV Market Through Mullen Technologies Merger

  • NETE plans to divest payments processing model to enter EV industry through proposed merger with privately-held Mullen Technologies Inc.
  • Merger allows Mullen stakeholders to obtain majority of stock while accelerating process of taking company public, funding US expansion
  • Mullen accepting reservations for Dragonfly K50 sports car and MX-05 SUV, production for both projected to start in 2021
  • California-based Mullen subsidiaries include Mullen Energy, Mullen Auto Sales, Mullen Finance Corp., CarHub digital marketplace

Future generations may look back and wonder how humanity withstood the exhaust fumes, noise and environmental degradation created by fossil fuel engines. The downsides of combustible engines, rising fuel prices and positive government incentives are all factors driving EVs into the mainstream – and some experts predict purely electric models will surpass hybrids during the transition. Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), through its proposed merger with Mullen Technologies, is planning to divest its payments processing business model to enter the burgeoning EV industry. The strategic move will allow the stakeholders of privately held Mullen to gain a majority of the new stock while catalyzing the process of taking the company public and accelerating its expansion in the United States.

The bold move comes at a time of rapid industry expansion amid growing concern for the environment among the general public and policy-makers. Falling battery prices, government mandates and consumer incentives are propelling the industry forward, prompting some industry experts to predict that the pure electric models will surpass hybrids within the next few years as the transition takes place.

“I think we’ll see a faster transition to pure EVs,” said Dane Parker, an industry executive and participant at Business Insider’s IGNITION: Transportation virtual event (https://ibn.fm/cJ470). Besides his belief that hybrids are more complex to engineer, Parker predicts that by 2025 battery prices will have dropped substantially, resulting in the accelerated adoption of pure electric vehicles and their eventual dominance over hybrids.

Through its subsidiaries that include Mullen Auto Sales, Mullen Finance Corp., a digital marketplace called CarHub and battery-focused Mullen Energy, Mullen Technologies has already made significant headway in the US. Among the company’s expansion plans is the production of the Dragonfly K50 luxury electric sports car at its new proposed 1.3 million square-foot assembly and manufacturing space in Spokane, Washington. Featuring a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS), the Dragonfly boasts a range of up to 310 miles and can accelerate from 0-60 miles/hour in under 4.2 seconds. Limited to only 1000 units, the company has started accepting reservations with production set to begin next year.

Pre-orders for another Mullen vehicle – the five-passenger MX-05 – have also begun. Production for the pure electric all-wheel SUV is set to begin in 2021 with deliveries set for mid-2022. Starting at $55,000, the MX-05 boasts a range of 325 miles on a single charge and can hit 60 miles/hour from zero in just 3.2 seconds.

Formerly a global financial technology and value-added solutions group, NETE plans to leverage the increased demand for electric vehicles through a proposed merger with Mullen Technologies. Based in California, Mullen Technologies engages in electric vehicle manufacturing across an international distribution network, partnering with several original equipment manufacturers across the world to provide exciting EV options for the US market.

$GNPX Initiates Site Recruitment for Acclaim-1 Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Genprex, Inc. (“Genprex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GNPX ), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, is pleased to announce it has commenced clinical trial site recruitment for its upcoming Acclaim-1 clinical trial for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As planned, the timing of the patient recruitment and enrollment puts the Company on track for its Acclaim-1 clinical trial to commence in the first-half of 2021.

Acclaim-1 is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 clinical trial that combines Genprex’s lead drug candidate, REQORSA™ immunogene therapy with AstraZeneca PLC’s Tagrisso in patients with late stage NSCLC with mutated epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs), whose disease progressed after treatment with Tagrisso. Genprex received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track Designation for its Acclaim-1 patient population in January of 2020.

“Our clinical team is engaging with prestigious cancer centers and research institutions across the U.S. to ensure we select optimal study sites, which play an important role in the success of a clinical trial,” said Rodney Varner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Genprex. “We look forward to working with leading clinical investigators who will help drive our mission to bring forth a treatment for advanced lung cancer patients.”

The Company plans to conduct the Acclaim-1 clinical trial in approximately 10 U.S. sites with about 100 patients (9-18 patients in the Phase 1 component and 82 patients in the Phase 2 component). An interim analysis will be performed after 53 events (i.e., progression of disease or death).

Additional information on the Acclaim-1 clinical trial can be found by visiting ClinicalTrials.gov .

About Genprex, Inc.
Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The Company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA™ ( quaratusugene ozeplasmid ), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). REQORSA has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. REQORSA has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for REQORSA for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso®) for patients with EFGR mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone .

CYBIN INC. (CYBN:AQL) Speakers at Harvard Law School Webinar Voice Support for Psychedelics Decriminalization

In a webinar hosted by the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy of the Harvard Law School, speakers championed for psychedelics decriminalization. The webinar, which gathered more than 200 individuals, had panelists who discussed the benefits of the decriminalization of psychedelics while debating on the history and safety of the substances and how they affected people of color.

The webinar’s moderator, Mason Marks, is a law professor at Gonzaga University. The speakers featured on the webinar included Patricia J. Zettler, associate professor at the Ohio State Moritz College of Law; Ifetayo Harvey, founder of the People of Color Psychedelic Collective; Dustin Marlan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts School of Law; and Larissa J. Maier, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California San Francisco School of Pharmacy.

Marlan explained that individuals should be allowed to use psychedelics as long as their use does not affect or injure other individuals. Additionally, some speakers also advocated for the decriminalization of all drugs. Maier voiced her views on the issue, stating that no individual needed to be criminalized for the possession or use of a limited amount of drugs.

The speakers also traced drug prohibition in the United States back to the 1970s, asserting that prohibition efforts weren’t entrenched in drug-use prevention but in progressive social group disorganization. Harvey explained that the 1960s and 1970s had many movements, such as the anti-war movement and the civil rights movement, which explained the need to disrupt them.

According to the panelists, in addition to causing disruption these efforts also impeded research that may have revealed the possible uses of psychedelic substances in the medical field.

Maier explained that in the 1970s, more than 1,000 promising reports had been published that showed systematic reviews of the safety and effectiveness of LSD as a treatment for various mental health conditions.

Things are looking up though, after voters from the District of Columbia decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelic substances. In addition, the state of Oregon became the first state in the country to legalize psilocybin during the elections held three weeks ago.

Despite all panelists agreeing on the decriminalization of most drugs, some speakers expressed their concerns regarding such policies. Zettler and Harvey remarked that decriminalization could decrease drug use stigma but it could also foster a false sense of security for individuals who are not knowledgeable about laws concerning drug distribution and use.

Zettler added that it would be important to conduct research that looks into the effectiveness and safety of psychedelics before their use was legalized for the masses. This would help society understand the effects of these substances in detail.

The evolving regulatory landscape has allowed a number of companies to mushroom in the functional mushrooms space. For instance, Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) is focused on developing fungi-based medications as well as functional wellness products.

Knightscope, Inc. Reimagines Public Safety Across the U.S. Through Autonomous Security Capabilities

  • Violent crimes in the U.S. occur every 24.6 seconds, and property crime occurs every 4.1 seconds
  • There are over 320 million people in the U.S., with only two million+ law enforcement and security professionals to protect them
  • Knightscope’s autonomous security robots are currently in operation across five U.S. time zones, with over one million hours in the field
  • The K1 is an award-winning ASR whose achievements were recognized with the 2018 Security Today New Product of the Year

Knightscope, a leader in the development of autonomous security capabilities, is reimagining public safety to make the United States the safest country in the world, through an innovative line of Autonomous Security Robot (“ASR”) products that combine self-driving technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence (https://ibn.fm/RLzlv).

In the United States, a violent crime occurs every 24.6 seconds and a property crime every 4.1 seconds, according to Knightscope statistics. Moreover, it is estimated that there are only a little over two million law enforcement and security officers across the country to help and protect a population of over 300 million people across all 50 states. Knightscope’s ASRs are helping to bridge the gap, offering valuable assistance and coverage and supporting law enforcement personnel to do their jobs more effectively.

The ASRs are typically used for patrolling and peacekeeping, as a means of physical deterrence by providing a visible, force multiplying, physical security presence to help protect assets and deter crime. However, they have also taken a more active role in fighting crime by assisting law enforcement and security with the arrests of suspects in crimes that range from armed robbery to hit-and-run accidents. More information about the work Knightscope is doing to fight crime is available at www.Knightscope.com/crime.

Knightscope’s current offering includes three ASR models being utilized across five time zones in the United States: K1, K3, and K5.

Recognized for its achievements with the 2018 Security Today New Product of the Year Award, K1 is a stationary machine that can be used in indoor or outdoor environments and is suitable for use in a wide range of spaces including parking structures, lobby and reception areas, high-risk areas, help or assistance points, transportation shuttle stops and more.

K3 is an indoor ASR that moves at speeds up to three miles per hour. It runs on its own 24/7/365 and can autonomously recharge itself without human intervention. It is the smart eyes and ears that cover many areas without the need for monotonous patrols. The K3 is suitable for environments such as malls, warehouses lobbies or offices, hospitals, airports, casinos, etc.

K5 is primarily used outdoors, even though it does have the capability of being used indoors. It features 24/7/365 operation and the ability to recharge autonomously without human intervention. This ASR model is best suited for large outdoor spaces and moves up to three miles per hour. The K5 has been operated for nearly one million hours in the field, including three winters. The K5 can be used in many large-spaced venues, including but not limited to hospitals, police departments, municipalities, airports, stadiums, manufacturing facilities, corporations and others.

All three of the ASR models feature the Knightscope Securities Operations Center (KSOC), which features force-multiplying physical deterrence, facial recognition, 360-degree HD video streaming, automatic license plate recognition, thermal anomaly detection, and so much more.

Knightscope has plans to develop other security solutions in the near future and is already in the process of raising additional growth capital while also preparing for a potential public listing. The company has already reserved the NASDAQ ticker symbol ‘KSCP’ and you can learn more reading the blog “Are You Going Public?!” (https://ibn.fm/78rrz). Since its foundation in 2013, Knightscope has raised more than $70 million to build all of its technology from scratch and is now backed by more than 16,000 investors and four major corporations.

Rritual Superfoods’ Extensive Distribution Network Set to Take Functional Mushrooms Mainstream

  • Functional Mushrooms Market Set for CAGR of 5.6%
  • Expected to Reach $24.85 billion by 2026
  • Rritual Superfoods Has Launched Three Mushroom-based Products
  • Products Boost Immune System, Brain Power and Relieve Stress
  • Company’s Extensive Distribution Network Set to Accelerate Sales

Consumers today shop for food with a number of considerations in mind, including food safety and the health benefits of their selected grocery items. This has resulted in increased demand for functional foods, with one sector — functional mushrooms — projected to increase at a CAGR of 5.6% during 2021–2026. This would put the market for functional mushrooms at $24.85 billion by the end of the forecast period. Rritual Superfoods is one of the companies operating in this nascent market.

Founded in 2019, Rritual has, to date, brought three mushroom-based products to market and is in the process of developing others. Rritual is working to ensure that its offerings not only augment the physical and psychological condition of consumers but also provide a healthy return for shareholders.

Functional foods, which are becoming increasingly popular, are foods that promote good health beyond the requirements of basic nutrition. Although the term “functional foods” may be relatively new, some traditional foods that fall into that category, such as oatmeal and orange juice fortified by calcium, are already staples in many diets.

Rritual is going a step beyond fortification. Rather than enhance the health benefits of food by adding nutrients, the company has developed its superfood offerings to be standalone supplements, which offers greater flexibility for consumers. With Rritual, consumers don’t need to consume more protein, carbohydrates or fats to receive the benefits.

Presently, Rritual Superfoods has three products derived from the chaga, lion’s mane, and reishi mushrooms. Rritual’s chaga blend boosts the immune system. Combined with the eleuthero root, the chaga-infused product, which also contains bioactive polysaccharides, increases resilience in the immune system and helps ward off infection.

The lion’s mane product is a brain booster. Its unique blend of lion’s mane mushroom and rhodiola root supports cognitive function and brain health, while also improving the body’s ability to cope with stress.

The reishi-based product also helps in dealing with stress. It includes the Ashwagandha root to help in combating anxiety and is rich in triterpenes, polysaccharides, fatty acids, and amino acids. Long-term use is said to improve the quality of sleep.

Rritual has devised a global sales and distribution strategy that covers three major markets: the United States, Canada, and Japan, through a growing network of online sales together with brick-and-mortar distribution.

As Global Cannabis Sales Grow 38% in 2020, Gage Cannabis Co. Expands to Offer Recreational Marijuana at Flagship Location

  • Research suggests cannabis sales increased 38% from 2019 to 2020
  • Gage expanding into fast-growing Michigan market, now offering recreational marijuana at flagship Ferndale location
  • Adult-use cannabis revenues in Michigan projected at $1 billion per year for 2021, surpassing $1.5 billion by 2023
  • Quarterly sales nearly doubled to $11.9 million in Q2 2020 from $5.8 million in Q1, expected to surpass $13.1 million in Q3

Recent research published by BDSA (formerly BDS Analytics) suggests that the global cannabis industry continues to grow despite COVID-19, with forecasts predicting that 2020 sales will reach $19.7 billion – an increase of 38% from 2019 (https://ibn.fm/EkGXb). One of Michigan’s fastest-growing cannabis brands, Gage Cannabis has expanded accordingly by offering recreational marijuana at its flagship Ferndale location. Gage is committed to building a solid reputation by providing top-tier cannabis experiences for the rapidly growing Michigan market.

“We have been looking forward to this day since we opened our doors in September 2019,” said Gage Cannabis President and Executive Vice President of Operations Mike Finos. “We are excited to extend the Gage experience to anyone aged 21 and over. Metro Detroit is home to our biggest consumers, and we’re ready to provide the community with quality products and a unique customer experience.”

Recreational use of cannabis in Michigan was first legalized in 2018, and the state has since emerged as one of the fastest-growing legal cannabis markets in the country in terms of consumption. Revenue projections by state budget planners suggest that the recreational marijuana market will be worth nearly $1 billion in fiscal 2021 with the potential to increase to $1.5 billion by 2023 (https://ibn.fm/wjWRx).

“Michigan is one of the top cannabis markets in the U.S., and I am confident Gage is poised to continue building on its historical execution and fortifying its position as one of the top operators and brands in Michigan, as well as a name consumers look for across the United States,” said Gage Cannabis Executive Chairman Bruce Linton (https://ibn.fm/LLQcw).

Gage produces its own in-house brands in addition to collaborating with several strategic partners and recognized names such as California-based Cookies – an iconic lifestyle brand widely known for its high-end cannabis strains and association with Berner, a rapper from the Bay Area. Sales bloomed during the COVID-19 lockdown period, nearly doubling to $11.9 million in Q2 from $5.8 million in Q1. The trend is expected to continue with management forecasting sales to surpass $13.1 million by the end of Q3 – an increase of over 150% from January to September 2020 (https://ibn.fm/W8INI). The company is currently planning to go public with a Canadian listing in early 2021 and has launched a Regulation A, Tier 2, equity financing.

$WTER 420 with CNW – Arkansas Governor Wants a More Aggressive Stance on Marijuana Legalization

Arkansas Gov. William Hutchinson states that the national government’s casual approach to cannabis is the reason why many more states are legalizing the drug. During a recent interview with the Washington Post, the governor of Arkansas explained that where the government’s stance on cannabis legalization is unclear, the legalization of drugs will continue, which brings about more measures for the legalization of cannabis at the state level.

Jeff Sessions, the first attorney general under outgoing President Donald Trump’s administration, revoked the counsel that was put in place by former President Barack Obama’s administration, which directed that state attorneys shouldn’t intrude on any state marijuana laws. However, apart from revoking former counsel, the Trump administration did not launch any extensive clamp down on people who complied with these local policies or the policies themselves.

Hutchinson explained that as long as the national government had a hands-off policy on all things marijuana in terms of legalization of marijuana in states, then the pressure for marijuana legalization will only grow. A lot of funds are used in that sector, which could result in additional initiatives to legalize the drug. Furthermore, increased funding poured into advertising these legalization initiatives and the lack of a clear position by the national government only furthers the cause. This is despite the fact that voters from Arkansas approved a measure on medical marijuana on their ballots in 2016.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that the Hutchinson was the Drug Enforcement Administration head during the President George. W. Bush administration. The governor also mentioned that earlier this year, activists of reform from the state had tried placing an initiative that would legalize cannabis on the ballot of the state. However, they did not succeed as they were unable to gather the number of signatures needed to qualify for placement on the ballot because of the social-distancing measures implemented after the COVID-19 pandemic began. He added that while the activists had not been successful, they would try again.

Two decades ago, Hutchinson had the DEA raid various medical marijuana dispensaries in California, despite the fact that the dispensaries were legal. At the time, California was among the few states that had legalized medical cannabis.

When the governor was asked about the election victories seen in the states such as Oregon, which had legalized cannabis, he criticized the victories. It should be noted, however, that clinical studies have disproven many “reasons” that are cited by prohibitionists as reasons why cannabis should not be legalized.

The increase in the number of states with regulated cannabis markets has created a chance for many companies to grow. An example of such a company is The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER). WTER’s signature premium alkaline water as well as CBD-infused products can be found on the shelves of a minimum of 70,000 leading retail outlets around the United States.

$POAI Skyline Medical Sells 15 Streamway(R) Systems in Q3 2020 as COVID-era Drives Need for Sanitation Systems

  • Closed design of Streamway(R) System provides safety from potential hazards of drips and spills during endoscopy, radiology, cystoscopy, urology procedures
  • The Streamway(R) System reduces costs, minimizes environmental impact of 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters disposed into landfills
  • POAI’s Skyline Medical sells 8 Streamway(R) Systems to large university hospital in Virginia, 15 sold halfway into Q3 2020

In the age of COVID-19, the need for sanitation and safety during hospital procedures has reached an all-time high. Health professionals have reported an inhibited level of performance due to a lack of protection, comfort, and increased fatigue during surgery (https://ibn.fm/87UEr). Sanitary disposal systems, able to offer maximum protection to healthcare workers, have become incredibly necessary—and companies like Predictive Oncology are answering the call. Produced by Skyline Medical, a subsidiary of Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), the patented Streamway(R) System features an entirely closed design, ensuring that medical professionals are safe from the potential hazards of drips and spills. It’s the first FDA-cleared direct-to-drain fluid disposal system that is designed specifically for medical applications such as endoscopy, radiology, cystoscopy and urology procedures.

The proprietary system automates the collection, measurement and disposal of potentially infectious waste that includes blood and irrigation fluids. By connecting directly to a facility’s plumbing system, the Streamway(R) System has the potential to change the way healthcare facilities manage fluid disposal by minimizing human intervention and increasing compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines.

Along with addressing safety concerns, the use of the Streamway(R) System reduces costs and minimizes environmental impacts by eliminating carts, evacuated bottles and the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills each year in the United States. COVID-era concerns have increased sales of the Streamway(R) System in 2020, with 15 sales in Q3 (including eight to a large university hospital organization in Virginia) in addition to sales throughout the world through direct sales and distributor partners.

Along with Skyline, POAI leverages the synergies of its other three wholly-owned subsidiaries – Helomics, TumorGenesis, and Soluble Biotech – to fulfill its mission of bringing precision medicine to the diagnosis of cancer. Besides the Streamway(R) System, POAI’s portfolio assets also include an AI-enhanced “smart” patient-derived tumor profiling platform, an in-house bioinformatics artificial intelligence (AI) platform, and a data-based approach to growing patient-specific tumors in a lab for the development of personalized treatment options.

The importance of precision medicine in cancer therapeutics has grown substantially, driven specifically by data-based predictive models of tumors and their responses to pharmaceutical treatments. Modeling various tumors can be both time and data-intensive, requiring five to seven years of clinical evaluation and observation to produce both historical and outcome data.

To that end, POAI has a significant competitive advantage through its vast collection of tumors and their related data, in addition to the company’s ability to access associated outcome data. The application of AI to its trove of more than 150,000 tumors assists oncologists in providing individualized patient treatments while driving forward the development of new targeted therapies in collaborations with pharmaceutical companies.

POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow.

  • Separately, a Phase II adult trial and a first-ever Phase I pediatric trial are slated to begin in 2021 in Poland in collaboration with sub-licensee partner, WPD Pharmaceuticals
  • Members of CNS’s management team attended A.G.P.’s Virtual Health Symposium, meeting 1-on-1 with investors

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system, recently announced that it has filed an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its lead drug candidate Berubicin. This application has been accepted for review (https://ibn.fm/6NnwH).

Berubicin is proposed for the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive form of brain cancer currently considered incurable, and may prove beneficial in treating other central nervous system malignancies. Since gaining the rights to Berubicin, and securing from Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RETA) the Phase 1 trial data and assets, CNS has worked diligently to complete the requirements to bring the drug to trial.

John Climaco, CEO of CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., made a statement about the IND filing and how the tireless efforts of the team during the last year have helped reach this important milestone. “Our laser focus from the beginning has been to start the next phase of the investigation of Berubicin for the treatment of this deadly disease as quickly as possible,” he added.

The company believes it is well positioned to execute its plan and initiate a potentially pivotal Phase II trial for Berubicin in Q1 2021 beginning in the United States and expanding to a global trial. The Phase II Berubicin trial that is currently planned in Q1 2021 will evaluate the efficacy of Berubicin in patients with GBM who have failed primary treatment for the disease. Results will be compared with the current second-line standard of care. The trial will be executed with a 2 to 1 randomization of the participating 243 patients to Berubicin or Lomustine (as standard of care). This trial could potentially provide data to the FDA needed for approval of an expedited pathway for further development or approval.

CNS Phamaceuticals, in collaboration with sublicensee partner WPD Pharmaceuticals (CSE: WBIO) (FSE: 8SV1), is preparing two other clinical trials for Berubicin in Poland. The two studies include a Phase II trial in adults (set to begin in February 2021) and the first-ever Phase I trial for pediatric patients (scheduled to start later in 2021) (https://ibn.fm/p1zJ8).

The IND announcement came a few days before CNS management members attended A.G.P.’s Virtual Healthcare Symposium that took place Thursday, November 19, 2020. The virtual event brought together numerous healthcare and biotech companies for one-on-one meetings with investors, engaging panels and discussions with leading healthcare executives and a keynote speaker address (https://ibn.fm/jNkR6).

The IND filing and the upcoming clinical trials make Berubicin an interesting opportunity for investors, as CNS believes its novel treatment can fill the current gap in available GBM treatments and help position the company as a market leader in this fast-growing sector. The overall global brain tumor therapeutics market is targeted to reach an estimated $3.4 billion by 2025, from $2.25 billion in 2019, reflecting a CAGR of 7.20% during the forecast period of 2019 to 2025, Market Study Report research shows (https://ibn.fm/SQkrD). Another report estimated that this market would reach $2.74 billion in 2023, registering a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023 (https://ibn.fm/EnB3Q).

$AZRX Planning to Test Immediate Release MS1819 Capsules in Cystic Fibrosis Study

  • The company plans to add another study arm to its ongoing Phase 2b OPTION 2 clinical study which currently tests delayed release capsules
  • If it receives FDA approval, AzurRx would be able to identify the optimal delivery method for its drug candidate MS1819 without significant extra costs or delays
  • Enrollment in this arm of the study could begin as early as December 2020

AzurRx BioPharma (NASDAQ: AZRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of non-systemic, recombinant therapies for gastrointestinal diseases, has submitted a protocol amendment request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that would allow it to test immediate release capsules of its exocrine pancreatic insufficiency drug candidate MS1819.

According to a company press release, if the amendment is approved, AzurRx would modify its current Phase 2b OPTION 2 trial of MS1819 in cystic fibrosis patients to add a study arm that uses immediate release capsules (https://ibn.fm/Ws66z). The existing arm of the study uses delayed release capsules. This would allow AzurRx to compare data from both arms to determine the best delivery method for its lead product.

“As this trial progresses, we believe there may be significant clinical value in adding a study arm that uses our immediate release capsules. Our intention is to identify the optimal delivery method and potentially provide additional scientific support and optionality for MS1819,” AzurRx Chief Medical Officer Dr. James Pennington said.

The addition of a new arm would not impact the overall trial objectives, endpoints and statistical analysis of the Phase 2b OPTION 2 trial. “We are pleased to announce that our OPTION 2 trial is well ahead of schedule and almost fully enrolled without any safety issues being observed,” Dr. Pennington added. He also explained that determining appropriate dosage and delivery method is an important goal for any Phase 2 clinical trial, along with testing for safety and efficacy, before entering a Phase 3 program. He added that if the amendment is accepted by the FDA, AzurRx expects to begin enrollment into the new study arm as soon as December 2020.

AzurRx CEO James Sapirstein also said that the protocol amendment is a unique opportunity for the company to acquire valuable additional clinical data with no significant delays in the study timeline and no significant increase in overall costs.

The Phase 2b OPTION 2 trial consists of testing MS1819 doses in enteric capsule form with two concentrations: 2240mg and 4480mg. Initial results from the study indicated that the MS1819 non-porcine recombinant lipase is well tolerated at both dose levels and produces no adverse effects.

AzurRx is also conducting a Phase 2 cystic fibrosis combination trial, using MS1819 together with porcine pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (“PERT”), the current standard of care. This study uses daily PERT doses in combination with different MS1819 dosages (700mg, 1120mg and 2240mg) and results made available so far have shown clinically meaningful improvements in subjects, with no adverse safety events.

According to Sapirstein, the company remains on target to release to line data for its Phase 2b trial in the first quarter of 2021. Top line data for the combination trial is expected in the second quarter.

Pending the Phase 2b trial outcome, the company will initiate a Phase 3 trial in cystic fibrosis and to this end, it has already identified and signed a binding letter of intent with a potential partner for the development and production of MS1819 for the study. Under the agreement, Asymchem, a leading global contract development and manufacturing service provider, will implement fermentation, verify protein expression, and fine-tune the technology for MS1819 production to help AzurRx optimize manufacturing and prepare for commercialization (https://ibn.fm/HJwT4).

AzurRx is determined to develop MS1819 as a safer alternative to porcine pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, significantly reducing the pill burden of cystic fibrosis patients. The company believes that due to its safety and efficacy, its proposed therapy has the potential to improve the quality of life and help achieve healthier nutrition for many patients suffering from severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, including those with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, and other indications.

$AZRX Microorganisms Found in Child’s Bed Dust May Boost Their Health

In collaboration with the Gentofte Hospital and the Danish Pediatric Asthma Center, University of Copenhagen researchers from the Department of Biology have discovered a connection between children’s bacteria and the microorganisms that exist in the beds of children in an extensive study.

This link implies that the microorganisms may decrease the risk of a child developing autoimmune diseases, allergies and asthma as they grow. While these microorganisms are invisible to the naked eye, they exist in multitudes in a child’s bed, influencing the development of microorganisms in children’s bodies. Ultimately, this impacts how resistant children become to different diseases.

To understand the link better, the researchers examined dust samples that were collected from the beds of 577 children. They then compared these samples to the respiratory samples gathered from 542 infants. The study’s objective was to find out if there was a connection between the bacteria discovered in the infant’s respiratory tracts and the dust microorganisms as well as the environmental factors that influenced microorganism composition in the dust from the infant’s beds.

Professor Søren J. Sørensen explained that researchers found a link between the two bacteria found in children and in the bed dust samples, thus suggesting that the bacteria do influence each other. As we all know microorganisms that live in us are important, especially for one’s health with respect to allergies and asthma, for instance. This also applies to diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Sørensen says that to improve how these ailments are treated, the processes through which microbial life turn up in the early stages of a child’s development needs to be better understood. The microbial life in a bed is influenced by its surroundings. Therefore, changing one’s bedsheets repeatedly may not be required, if further research proves the claim to be right.

Additionally, the researchers studied urban and rural dwellings. They collected 930 fungi and bacteria types from the beds of six-month-old infants. They discovered that rural dwellings had much higher bacteria levels when compared with urban homes. Sørensen explained that prior research has shown that people living in rural areas have more diverse gut flora than city-dwellers. This is mainly because they have more contact with nature and spend a majority of their time outdoors.

Living in rural areas and having pets or older siblings adds to a reduced risk of developing any autoimmune ailments.

Many companies are striving to help patients with gastrointestinal complaints access better treatment. A notable entity in this regard is AzurRx BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: AZRX). MS1819, one of AzurRx’s latest drug candidates, is poised to reduce how many pills patients suffering from cystic fibrosis need to take.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) Canadian Government Gives Formal Response to Petition to Decriminalize Psychedelics

Officials of the federal government of Canada have given an official response to a petition that called for psychedelic decriminalization in the country. The statement highlighted that there were various ways for some individuals to obtain exemptions to consume the substances legally, despite the drugs being illegal for the Canadian majority.

Government ministers stated that the psychedelic substances had to be studied more before any reforms were made. The petition, which garnered almost 15,000 signatures, was launched on the House of Commons’ site earlier this summer. The appeal requested legislators to decriminalize entheogenic fungi and plants to be used in various therapeutic practices, including healing ceremonies, as well as medical care.

Typically petitions have a 500-signature threshold, so by getting almost 30 times the number of signatures required, this proposal qualified to be presented to Parliament, with the government required to respond within 45 days. The petition was also read before the House of Commons on Sept. 30, 2020. The formal response from the government was announced last week.

The petition also calls for the government to respect the cultural and historical traditions around psychedelics. This would be done by the discontinuation of the enforcement of regulations or statutes that ban or impose heavy restrictions on adult use as well as the sharing or growing of any fungi or plant, particularly with regard to traditional use.

Ministers of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Health and Justice all issued statements. Despite two of the statements admitting that there are opportunities for solitary exemptions under the CDSA for specific types of drug use, all statements re-emphasize that the trafficking and possession as well as the manufacture of psychedelic substances are still illegal acts.

Psychedelic substances are required to be approved by Canada’s drug review process and be authorized by Health Canada before they can be used as a mainstream therapeutic.

David Lametti, the attorney general, stated that the law provided the Minister of Health with the power to grant exemptions from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act for scientific, medical and other public interest purposes. The latter included the protection of fundamental freedoms, such as the freedom of peaceful assembly, expression and religion. Lametti added that the extensive decriminalization petition wouldn’t comply with Canada’s agreement with international drug conventions, which include the Psychotropic Substances UN Convention 1971.

There is hope, however. In September, Patty Hajdu, Canadian health minister, gave four cancer patients an exemption that would allow them to have their end-of-life care include the use of psychedelic mushrooms.

The psychedelic and functional mushrooms sector in Canada is witnessing a growth spurt. Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) is one of the key players in this industry, and its management team, which has an impressive list of clinical studies under their belt, is poised to make the company a leader in the psychedelic medicines and related products space.

$MEDS Are Shares of $CVS Still a Buy After the Launch of Amazon Pharmacy?

The public health crisis has accelerated CVS Health’s (CVS) transformation from a pharmacy and retailer into a health insurance and healthcare supplier. Its recent decline due to the launch of Amazon Pharmacy, could be a buying opportunity.

CVS Health Corporation (CVS) is a healthcare service provider in the United States, operating through three segments – Pharmacy Services, Retail/LTC, and Health Care Benefits. As the novel coronavirus continues to spread across the United States, CVS has rolled out thousands of COVID-19 test sites and launched a new business-to-business testing program for corporations and colleges. The company also provided home delivery of OTC and prescription drugs during the social distancing restrictions through CVS Pharmacy.

Last week Amazon launched its new pharmacy business, which will compete with CVS in selling prescription drugs.  As a result, CVS’s stock plunged, but since then has recouped some of its losses.

To compete with Amazon, the company will need to continue to concentrate on digitizing its operations. The company’s positive returns over the past six months combined with several other factors have helped it earn a “Buy” rating in our proprietary rating system.

Here’s how our proprietary POWR Ratings system evaluates CVS:

Trade Grade: A

CVS is currently trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages of $60.72 and $62.46, respectively, indicating that the stock is in an uptrend. The stock gained 4.2%, over the past three months, reflecting short-term bullishness.

CVS’s revenue increased 3.5% year-to-date to $67.06 billion in the third quarter ended September 2020. Operating income grew 11% from the year-ago value to $3.62 billion, while the pharmacy segment’s gross profit rose 10.7% to $1.90 billion in the third quarter.

CVS recently announced the expansion of its COVID-19 testing services. It plans to add nearly 1000 testing sites by the end of this year. Since March, the company has undertaken more than 5 million coronavirus tests.

The retail division of CVS recently launched QuickRenew, an at-home contact lens prescription renewal tool, that allows users to renew their prescriptions online.

Buy & Hold Grade: B

In terms of proximity to its 52-week high, which is a key factor that our Buy & Hold Grade takes into account, CVS is well-positioned. The stock is currently trading just 13.3% below its 52-week high of $77.03.

The company’s net revenue grew at a CAGR of 13.3% over the past three years, while net income increased at a CAGR of 16.4% over this period. Also, EPS increased at a CAGR of 7.6% over the past three years.

This can be attributed to the company’s long-term strategic plan of transforming health care and innovative solutions in tandem with the evolving economy to meet customer needs.

Peer Grade: B

CVS is currently ranked #1 out of 4 stocks in the Medical – Drug Stores group. Other popular stocks in this industry are Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA), Rite Aid Corporation (RAD), and Trxade Group, Inc. (MEDS).

WBA, RAD, and MEDS declined 4.1%, 12.1% and 11.7%, respectively, over the past six months. This compares to CVS’s 5.4% return over this period.

Industry Rank: B

The Medical – Drug Stores industry is ranked #34 out of the 123 StockNews.com industries. The companies in this industry sell health products, prescription drugs, general merchandise from physical retail locations and over-the-counter medications.

The pandemic has revealed the limitations of the global healthcare system, and is inducing governments to take immediate action to transform the same. Initially, the industry experienced restrained growth as lockdowns disrupted the global supply chain and logistics. However, the market for medical supplies is expected to grow due to the increased requirement of PPE kits & N95 masks globally, the rising demand for ventilators, and the increasing need for diagnostic supplies. Also, CVS plans to roll out Covid-19 vaccines globally when those are ready to hit the market.

Overall POWR Rating: B (Buy)

CVS is rated “Buy” due to its impressive financials, short-and-long-term bullishness, and underlying industry strength, as determined by the four components of our overall POWR Rating.

Bottom Line

Healthcare demand is expected to grow due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and CVS can still thrive, even with the launch of Amazon Pharmacy.

Analyst sentiment, which gives a good sense of a stock’s future price movement, is pretty impressive for CVS. It has an average broker rating of 1.31, indicating favorable analyst sentiment. Out of 25 Wall Street analysts that rated the stock, 19 rates it a “Strong Buy”. The consensus EPS estimate of $0.43 for the current year indicates a 4.9% improvement year-over-year. CVS has an impressive earnings surprise history, with the company beating consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The consensus revenue estimate of $267.88 billion for the current year indicates a 4.3% increase from the same period last year.

 


CVS shares were trading at $68.38 per share on Tuesday afternoon, up to $1.60 (+2.40%). Year-to-date, CVS has declined -5.03%, versus a 14.46% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

$PCSA Researchers Design Wearable Sensors That Can Detect Employee Fatigue

Scientists have been designing devices that detect a worker’s alertness. The aim of this? To monitor for fatigue. Fatigue in a work setting can cause injuries or accidents and sometimes even loss of lives. Various industrial disasters, such as the Chernobyl nuclear accident, have been linked to worker fatigue.

These wearable devices measures the breathing rate of their users as well as their muscle contractions, sweating and heart rate. The research, which was reported in this month’s issue of  “IEEE Sensors Journal,” has a team of researchers from Italy explain how the innovative device works, adding that the individuals’ breathing frequency is not only used to monitor fatigue but can also help determine if a person is in a condition that might overwhelm their body, such as discomfort, pain, hypoxia, excessive heat or cold.

Fatigue is an important issue that should be addressed, given that thousands of work-related accidents occur daily across the globe, influencing the activities of different sectors of the economy. To help improve the safety and performance of workers while also averting work-related accidents, fatigue needs to be monitored.

The sensor device that was developed by the researchers is made up of flexible elastic bands made from fiber optic technology in combination with a soft silicon matrix, which adjusts to an individual’s chest as they breathe. As an individual wearing the sensor exhales, the diaphragm expands, which deflates the stomach, thus compressing the sensor. Conversely, during inhalation the stomach distends, and the diaphragm of the individual constricts, which strains the sensor.

Ten volunteers had the sensors tested on them as they carried out different activities and movements. The actions ranged from lifting articles off the ground to standing and sitting. The researchers’ findings suggest that the sensors are proficient in yielding measurements akin to that of a flow meter and also evaluating the respiratory frequency of an individual.

The sensors’ design has various strengths, including the silicon matrix, which was sculpted in a dumbbell form, allowing the elastic band’s sensor feature to adhere better. The downside is that the device’s system must be attached to a large instrument in order for the fiber optic signals to be processed.

The good news is that researchers are currently looking into various ways that these useful devices can be made cheaper as well as smaller. This would enable the device to be used in a real-world setting.

Lots of biomedical companies invest in finding remedies to a variety of health conditions. Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: PCSA) is a notable one. Among other things, the company acquires drugs for which clinical proof of efficacy exists and then completes the clinical trial process in order to attain regulatory approval for the tested drug.

$PBIO Reports Revenue Hike in Q3, While Achieving Its Best Financial Quarter in Two Years; Company Expects Strong 2021

November 24, 2020

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (PBIO) Reports Revenue Hike in Q3, While Achieving Its Best Financial Quarter in Two Years; Company Expects Strong 2021

  • Measurable success achieved in Q3 2020 in key financial, operational, and technical projects
  • Revenue increases reported in products and services offerings; balance sheet improved with significant reduction in variable-rate debt
  • Q3 total revenue exceeded Q1 and Q2 total revenue combined
  • Company reported receipt of 12 pre-orders for the innovative BaroShear K45, which is on track to be released in mid-2021
  • Alliance with Leica Microsystems over PBI’s proprietary pressure cycling technology (“PCT”) platform has the potential to accelerate cancer R&D and subsequent drug development using an innovative tumor processing workflow

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) is a leader in the development, marketing, and sale of proprietary pressure-based instruments, consumables, services, and platform solutions to the worldwide life sciences and other industries. Last week, the Company recently reported its third-quarter financial results and provided a business update, including initial expectations for 2021 (https://ibn.fm/sfRbm).

The Q3 2020 Form 10-Q financial report underlines that measurable progress was seen in three important areas: key operational and technical projects; revenue increases in the Company’s products and services offerings; and important structuring improvements in the reduction of arduous, variable-rate convertible debt.

According to Pressure BioSciences CEO and President Richard T. Schumacher, the Company achieved impressive results in Q3 compared to the previous two quarters of 2020, which were both negatively impacted by business interruptions caused by COVID-19. The Q3 results have shown a remarkable recovery, with revenue exceeding Q1 and Q2 2020 combined. “Similarly, instrument sales in Q3 2020 exceeded instrument sales in Q1 and Q2 2020 combined, and contracted services revenue for our Ultra Shear Technology(TM) nanoemulsions and BaroFold(TM) biopharmaceutical protein refolding and recovery platforms in Q3 2020 also exceeded revenue for the same services in Q1 and Q2 2020 combined,” Schumacher added.

The Company has restructured debt and improved its investment-grade profile. Going into 2020, the Company had approximately $5.4 million in expensive, variable-rate convertible debt. As of the end of September, this had been reduced to $1.7 million through the combination of cash and conversion into common stock at the above-market price of $2.50. The Company also carried a Merchant Cash Advance balance totaling approximately $1.1 million, which was paid down to $0 during the Quarter.

Providing other updates and plans for 2021, the Form 10-Q report also mentioned that Pressure BioSciences is on track to launch its innovative BaroShear K45 Nanoemulsification System by mid-2021. Purchase orders for the 12 BaroShear K45 systems the Company plans to manufacture in early 2021 have already been received ahead of the planned mid-2021 commercial release. This novel and proprietary system, based on the Company’s Ultra Shear Technology(TM) (“UST”) patented platform, is designed to revolutionize the processing of immiscible liquid, turning them into water-soluble nanoemulsions.

The BaroShear K-45 system was created to revolutionize the processing of immiscible liquids – usually processed into macro/micro emulsions – into high quality, highly profitable nanoemulsions. Emulsions are mixtures of two or more liquids (e.g., oils in water) that typically cannot be blended into each other without the addition of chemicals called emulsifiers (e.g., surfactants). Emulsions are used in thousands of products in everyday use, including food, medical products, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, industrial lubricants, and even cannabis oil extracts (e.g., CBD). Scientific data indicate that improved absorption, higher bioavailability, greater stability, lower surfactant levels, and other advantages (such as more reliable dosing control) are better achieved with high quality nanoemulsions.

The Company was recently awarded the first United States patent for its proprietary Ultra Shear Technology Platform, as well as a patent for its best-selling and pressure-based consumable device, the PCT MicroPestle. Two UST patents had been previously awarded in China for the UST platform.

The report also highlighted some of the Company’s recent collaborations. Earlier this year, Pressure BioSciences and RedShiftBio expressed the potential of combining their proprietary technologies to produce a new tool for the development and production of biotherapeutics. The Company also signed a worldwide, co-marketing alliance with Leica Microsystems, which integrates its Pressure Cycling Technology (“PCT”) with RedShiftBio’s laser microdissection platform. Together, both companies believe the platform provides the potential to accelerate cancer R&D using an innovative and proprietary tumor processing workflow.

These encouraging results and developments, in addition to the Company’s success in developing and preparing its technologies for numerous and diverse large market opportunities worldwide, are positioning Pressure BioSciences for a strong start in 2021 and setting the Company on a path to achieve major revenue growth and profitability next year, according to Chairman of the Board Jeffrey N. Peterson.

$CNSP CEO Discusses Brain Cancer Drug During Syndicated Broadcast

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system, is featured in a recent NetworkNewsAudio (“NNA”) broadcast. During the broadcast, CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO John Climaco explains that the company has recently submitted an investigational new drug (“IND) application to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its brain cancer drug, Berubicin. Climaco also discusses CNSP’s intent to begin Phase 2 trials of the drug during Q1 2021. The Phase 2 trial is designed to analyze the efficacy of Berubicin in treating patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”) whose primary treatment has failed. “Our laser focus from the beginning has been to start the next phase of the investigation of Berubicin for the treatment of this deadly disease as quickly as possible,” said Climaco in the press release. “Our team has worked tirelessly for the past year, making several inroads on our manufacturing and clinical efforts to achieve this important milestone. We believe we are optimally positioned to continue to execute our plan and initiate our Phase 2 trial in the first quarter of 2021. We continue to build on the positive results Berubicin demonstrated in the Phase 1 study in high grade gliomas and look forward to advancing its clinical development in these patients, with the end goal of addressing the unmet medical need of better treatment for patients diagnosed with GBM.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the United States, while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
