Anebulo Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Regulatory Update for Selonabant in Acute Cannabis-Induced Toxicity in Children and Capital Raise

Anebulo Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Regulatory Update for Selonabant in Acute Cannabis-Induced Toxicity in Children and Capital Raise

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANEB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid-induced toxicities (the “Company” or “Anebulo”), today announced a positive regulatory update and the close of a capital raise.

  • In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study, Anebulo enrolled 134 adult subjects challenged with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinoil (“THC”), oral selonabant blocked or reversed key CNS effects of THC, establishing the clinical path for intravenous selonabant for a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious and life-threatening consequences of acute cannabis-induced toxicity in children

  • Anebulo met with FDA to discuss the development of intravenous selonabant and the initial plan for clinical testing

  • FDA acknowledged the unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to cannabis toxicity, and proposed a close, ongoing collaboration to efficiently advance the selonabant program for the pediatric indication

  • Anebulo plans to begin its Phase I SAD study of IV selonabant in healthy adults in 1H25

  • Anebulo entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement with 22NW, a company controlled by one of its directors, Nantahala Capital and an additional existing investor for the issuance and sale of 15.2 million shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $15 million in a private placement offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules

  • In exchange for purchasing $10 million of shares of common stock in the private placement, Anebulo intends to modify the Loan and Security Agreement (LSA) that was entered into with 22NW and JFL Capital Management by reducing the maximum loan size to approximately $3 million, which reduces the LSA to just under the securitization threshold, and the removal of any securitization

“We are grateful to have the continued support from current investors. Having secured such meaningful financing without having to issue stock at a discount to the market or include warrant coverage is indicative of the confidence these highly respected institutional investors have in the company’s future,” commented Richie Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of Anebulo.

Cunningham continued, “In recent interactions, FDA confirmed our belief that there is an unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to cannabis toxicity and suggested a close collaboration with Anebulo to facilitate an efficient development plan for this important pediatric condition. If approved, we believe selonabant has the potential to offer a much-needed targeted therapy for rapidly reversing the serious and life-threatening consequences of acute cannabis-induced toxicity in children. To validate this market opportunity, we hired a top five pharmaceutical consulting firm to complete a market assessment. This team of experts evaluated and confirmed acute cannabis induced toxicity in children as a viable commercial opportunity. In addition, based on an incidence less than 200,000 cases per year we also believe this to be a rare pediatric condition.”

The private placement is expected to close no later than December 24th, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The private placement is being conducted in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules and was priced at $0.99 per share to satisfy the “Minimum Price” requirement (as defined in the Nasdaq rule).

In connection with the close of the private placement, the Company will amend its LSA that was entered into in November 2023. The LSA allowed the Company to borrow up to $10 million, and to date, no funds have been borrowed. The amended loan agreement will reduce the borrowing limit to approximately $3 million and will be unsecured.

About Selonabant (ANEB-001)

The Company’s lead product candidate is selonabant (ANEB-001), a potent, small molecule antagonist of the cannabinoid receptor type-1 (“CB1”), under development to address the unmet medical need for a specific antidote for acute cannabis-induced toxicity, including acute cannabinoid intoxication (“ACI”) in adults and unintentional cannabis poisoning in pediatric subjects. The Company anticipates that selonabant will rapidly reverse key symptoms of cannabis toxicity. Selonabant has been successfully formulated for oral administration in clinical studies and as a potential IV treatment. In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in adult subjects challenged with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) (www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05282797), oral selonabant blocked or reversed key CNS effects of THC. Selonabant was well tolerated in this study and there were no serious adverse events. In the open-label extension of the study, THC challenge doses of 40 mg and 60 mg were well-tolerated when dosed in combination with oral selonabant, and all treatment-related adverse events were mild and transient. The prior Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of oral selonabant have together enrolled a total of 250 subjects, of which 189 received selonabant. Selonabant is protected by two issued patents covering various methods of use of the compound and composition of matter of the crystalline form of selonabant. Anebulo also has multiple pending applications covering various methods of use of the compound and delivery systems. An observational study in patients presenting to Emergency Departments with cannabis toxicity is currently ongoing. The study is intended to determine concentrations of cannabinoids and metabolites in plasma and gather information on signs and symptoms, patients’ disposition and selected subjective assessments.

About Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabinoid intoxication and unintentional cannabis intoxication. Its lead product candidate, selonabant, has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its utility in blocking and reversing the negative effects of acute cannabinoid intoxication in healthy adults challenged with oral THC. Rather than proceeding directly with Phase 3 studies of oral selonabant in adults with ACI, the Company is prioritizing the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with acute cannabis-induced toxicity, which it believes offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. Anebulo is currently scaling up the intravenous formulation for initial clinical safety studies. Selonabant is a competitive antagonist at the human CB1 receptor.

PACS GROUP (NYSE: PACS) INVESTOR ALERT: Berger Montague Advises Investors to Inquire About a Securities Fraud Class Action

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Berger Montague PC advises investors that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed against PACS Group, Inc. (“PACS” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PACS) on behalf of purchasers of PACS securities between April 8, 2024 through November 21, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

.

Headquartered in Farmington, Utah, PACS operates skilled nursing facilities and post-acute care facilities in the U.S.

According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose that: (a) PACS inflated its Medicare revenues by misclassifying lower-acuity patients as high-acuity patients that required skilled care in violation of a Covid-era waiver, thereby securing higher reimbursement rates; and (b) that after the expiration of the COVID-era waiver, PACS inflated its revenues by fraudulently billing for unnecessary treatments and for services never provided to patients.

On November 4, 2024, Hindenburg Research published a report alleging that, among other things, PACS misused COVID waivers to inflate Medicare reimbursements, as well as engaging in other revenue practices which misrepresented the Company’s financial health. On this news, PACS’ share price dropped $11.93 per share – 27.8 percent – to close at $31.01 per share on November 4, 2024.

Then, on November 6, 2024, the Company announced that it would delay the release of its third-quarter 2024 financial results due to an investigation by the Company’s Audit Committee into recent allegations concerning its reimbursement and referral practices. PACS also disclosed that it had received civil investigative demands from the federal government regarding these practices. On this news, PACS’ share price dropped $11.45 per share – 38.8 percent – to close at $18.09 per share on November 6, 2024.


Learn More About the Lawsuit

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.

Puma Biotechnology’s NERLYNX® Included in NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Cervical Cancer with a HER2 Mutation

Puma Biotechnology’s NERLYNX® Included in NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Cervical Cancer with a HER2 Mutation

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, announced that the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Cervical Cancer were updated to include an addition involving neratinib (NERLYNX®).

The updated NCCN Practice Guidelines for Cervical Cancer include neratinib monotherapy for use as second-line or subsequent therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease as an option for patients with HER2-mutated tumors with a designation of Category 2A. The NCCN Guidelines Category of Preference is designated as “useful in certain circumstances” as a treatment option for patients with HER2-mutated tumors.

This addition was based on results from the Phase II SUMMIT trial (NCT01953926), which enrolled a cohort of patients who were required to have histologically confirmed recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer for which no curative treatment existed, along with documented evidence of a somatic, activating HER2 mutation (Friedman CF, D’Souza A, Bello Roufai D, et al. Targeting HER2-mutant metastatic cervical cancer with neratinib: Final results from the Phase II SUMMIT basket trial. Gynecol Oncol. 2024;181:162-169. doi: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2023.12.004).

Alan H. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma, said, “We are pleased with the additional inclusion of neratinib in the NCCN Guidelines for Cervical Cancer for patients with HER2 activating mutations. Physicians use the NCCN Guidelines as the standard resource for determining the best course of treatment for patients. We believe the updated NCCN guidelines will increase awareness, which will help assist patients, their caregivers and their healthcare providers in making informed decisions while treating this significant unmet need in advanced cervical cancer.”

Despite recent advancements in the therapeutic landscape for recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer, there is a need to identify robust biomarkers to direct therapy choices to target mutational drivers. Somatic HER2 (ERBB2) mutations have been reported in up to 9% 1,2,3 of cervical cancers and are associated with poor prognosis 1,2. In a recent real-world study, prospective genomic profiling of cervical cancer patients identified HER2 mutations as one of the more prevalent genomic alterations in the studied cervical cancer population3.

SJW Group Announces CPUC Decision Approving San Jose Water’s General Rate Case

Provides for $450 million in increased water system investments and greater fixed cost recovery.

Recognizes San Jose Water’s commitment to be a force for good in the communities it serves.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SJW Group (NASDAQ: SJW), a leading investor-owned pure-play water and wastewater utility, announced today that the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) approved the General Rate Case (“GRC”) for its wholly-owned subsidiary, San Jose Water Company (“SJW” or “the Company”). SJW originally filed its GRC with the CPUC on January 2, 2024, to determine new rates for the years 2025 through 2027, among other things.

The CPUC’s final decision approves a settlement agreement in its entirety that the Company and the Public Advocates Office (PAO) entered into on August 19, 2024. As a result, the decision authorizes the Company to invest $450 million over three years in critical drinking water infrastructure to continue to provide high-quality and reliable water service to local customers, as well as enhance fire protection, economic vibrancy and environmental conservation efforts. The decision also further aligns actual and authorized water usage, thereby providing customers the true cost of water and the Company a realistic opportunity to earn its rate of return.

Additionally, the final decision provides for a rate increase of approximately 4% for 2025 that will become effective on January 1, 2025. Rates and revenues for 2026 and 2027 will subsequently be determined based on authorized utility plant investments and the forecasted change in the consumer price index from the preceding year.

“We appreciate the commitment and dedication of the CPUC’s staff and commissioners along with the PAO to this comprehensive yearlong General Rate Case process,” said Tanya Moniz-Witten, President of San Jose Water. “We take the responsibility of delivering high quality water through clean pipes at affordable rates to the communities where we live, work and serve very seriously. We work diligently to make prudent investments which give our customers the most value for their dollar. The approval of our GRC recognizes the need to continually invest in our water system to ensure ongoing reliable water service and public health protection for the one million residents in the greater San Jose metropolitan area.”

Two litigated items outside of the settlement agreement related to the service charge calculation and enhancement of the full cost balancing account were also addressed. The CPUC disallowed these items in the final decision.

Borqs Technologies Reports Half-Year 2024 Financial Results; Successfully Increases Efficiency

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Borqs Technologies, Inc. (U.S. OTC: BRQSF, “Borqs” or the “Company”), a global provider of embedded software and products for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced its financial results for the first half of 2024. Interim financial statements were filed today with the SEC.

First-Half 2024 Financial Highlights

  For the six months ended June 30,
  2024 2023 vs. H1 2023
       
       
Revenues ($K) 16,773 14,992 + 11.9%
Gross Margin 20.2% 19.4% Up 0.8%
Operating expenses ($K) 7,082 11,996 – 41.0%
Net income (loss) from operations 15,023 -28,801 n/a
       

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Borqs reported total net revenues of US$16.77 million, reflecting an increase from US$14.99 million in the same period of 2023, an increase of 11.9%, driven by strong performances in both software and hardware segments. The Company achieved a total gross profit of US$3.39 million, up from US$2.91 million in the prior year. This positive performance underscores our commitment to operational efficiency, with total operating expenses decreasing significantly to US$7.08 million from US$12 million from the same period last year, primarily due to a reduction in general and administrative expenses.

As a result of these strategic initiatives and the completed sale of the Company’s interests in the solar subsidiary, Borqs recorded a net income of US$15.02 million from operations for the first half of 2024, a remarkable turnaround from a net loss of US$28.80 million in the same period of the previous year. This notable improvement has been supported by gains realized from the disposal of subsidiary interests and the cancellation of shares related to the former subsidiary.

“Our H1 results highlight the significant progress we are making in executing our recently outlined capital structure revamp,” said Pat Chan, Chairman & CEO of Borqs. “The strategic actions we implemented in the first half of this year position us for improved profitability and enhanced liquidity going forward. We are encouraged by the positive underlying trends that these results reflect.”
