Cardior Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Phase Ib Results of its Lead Compound CDR132L in Heart Failure

  • First-in-class compound showed excellent tolerability and safety
  • Unique mode of action in chronic heart failure confirmed by data on cardiac function and biomarkers
  • Phase II studies in subacute and chronic heart failure
    planned

Hanover, Germany, November 12, 2020 – Cardior Pharmaceuticals GmbH, a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the development of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) based therapeutics for patients with cardiovascular diseases, announced today positive results of a Phase Ib study with its lead compound CDR132L. The compound is an antisense oligonucleotide inhibiting the non-coding microRNA-132 (miR132) that directly regulates adverse cardiac remodeling. This first-in-human study was performed in cooperation with Richmond Pharmacology Ltd., London, UK (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04045405). Results were published in the European Heart Journal (doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehaa898).

In the trial, CDR132L met all endpoints and showed excellent tolerability and safety. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating study was designed to assess safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of CDR132L in patients with stable heart failure (HF) of ischemic origin (NYHA 1-3). The study design combined dose escalation with repeat dosing (day 1 and 28) at 4 dose levels. 28 patients received CDR132L or placebo (5:2 randomized in 4 cohorts) via short-term intravenous infusions as add-on therapy to standard of care.

Primary endpoint was safety and tolerability of CDR132L as assessed during the 120-day study period. The characterization of CDR132L’s PK profile in heart failure patients served as secondary endpoint. In addition, the effect of CDR132L on the target miR132 and on certain HF-relevant PD parameters was analyzed in an exploratory manner.

The infusion was very well tolerated by all patients with no injection-related signs. No safety signals or unexpected adverse events were observed for CDR132L. PK data showed strong dose-dependent linearity and specific target engagement could be confirmed. Exploratory analysis of multiple pharmacodynamic parameters, including measurement of NT-proBNP blood levels, showed beneficial effects on top of standard of care and will be used for planning Phase II proof-of-concept studies.

“CDR132L did not show any signs of toxicity regardless of dose level. As expected, the pharmacokinetic characteristics were found to be dose-dependently linear,” said Dr. Thomas Thum, Professor at Hannover Medical School and CSO of Cardior. “In addition, the target engagement data confirmed the mode of action of CDR132L. We also observed positive changes of various markers which in our preclinical models were strong signs of efficacy. In sum, the analysis of relevant surrogate pharmacodynamic parameters showed promising beneficial results in these patients, even after only two administrations of CDR132L.”

He added that the observed pharmacodynamic effects of CDR132L are planned to be further investigated in upcoming Phase II studies.

“We are very pleased with the outcome of our clinical study, the first-ever trial of an oligonucleotide-based drug in heart failure patients,” said Claudia Ulbrich, CEO of Cardior. “These encouraging results are an excellent basis for starting Phase II studies in subacute and chronic heart failure patients. The outcome of this trial also underlines the potential of RNA-based therapies as a causal approach to treat complex diseases.”

###

About CDR132L

CDR132L is an antisense oligonucleotide developed by Cardior Pharmaceuticals inhibiting the microRNA-132 (miR132), a non-coding microRNA that regulates cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling in cardiomyocytes by targeting well-defined pathways.

miR132 is a regulatory master switch to control cardiac function and a promising, causal therapeutic target in heart failure therapy. Expression of miR132 is increased in various pathological cardiac conditions in both animals and humans, and previous preclinical studies have shown that miR-132 is essential for driving the pathological growth of cardiomyocytes.

About Cardior

Cardior Pharmaceuticals is a privately held German biopharmaceutical company pioneering the development of curative and preventive heart failure therapeutics based on non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Cardior’s therapeutic approach is using distinctive ncRNA signatures driving the molecular reprogramming that causes maladaptive remodeling and heart failure. Drug candidates developed by Cardior represent first-in-class ncRNA therapeutics and diagnostics for patients with myocardial infarction and various forms of heart failure. Founded in 2016 based on the work of cardiologist Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Thum of Hannover Medical School, the Company has raised EUR 15 Mio. from international investors LSP, BioMedPartners, Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund (BIVF), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) and High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).

  • VSH Safetest Antibody Rapid Test products are critical because they identify if one has had or is currently infected with the Covid-19 virus.
    The end-user would know if previously infected with the virus, will have the antibodies present

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Victory Square Health Inc. (“VS Health” or the “Company“) – a portfolio company of Victory Square Technologies Inc. (“Victory Square”) (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) — is pleased to announce that it has entered into a sales & distribution agreement with ProNorth Medical, a North American Sales and Distribution Company, to sell its Safetest 15 minute Covid-19 Rapid Testing kits in the United States of America and in Canada* following Health Canada approvals.

ProNorth Medical has been proudly servicing Medical, Veterinary, and Dental professionals across North America for the past 9 years. ProNorth Medical CEO Robert Horne has a 30 plus year record in the medical sales and distribution sector, having worked with Johnson & Johnson for over 25 years prior to launching ProNorth Medical Corporation in 2011. ProNorth Medical currently has multi-million dollar Canadian and USA tested PPE products sales and distribution contracts with government, hospitals, and the private sector. ProNorth Medical clients in Canada include Hamilton Health Sciences Centre, The Ottawa Hospital, Vitalite Health Network, Service New Brunswick and Horizon Health. In addition, ProNorth Medical will engage with strategic film industry partners in the United States to provide major film studios, production companies, talent and crew with Safetest Covid-19 Testing products for detecting the antibodies IgG and IgM against SARS-CoV-2.

Pro North Medical associate, film producer and actor Cody Hackman who has produced films for Netflix, Lionsgate, MGM and many other companies says, “Our industry is anxiously waiting to safely resume pre-pandemic production volumes. Productions are finally starting to ramp up again but are now taking more time and are more costly due to Covid19. The Safetest Covid-19 Rapid Test from Victory Square Health will enable our industry to open up more quickly, safely, efficiently, and effectively to reduce the extra costs and production delays occurring due to Covid.”

“I am very pleased to have partnered with Victory Square Health to quickly and efficiently distribute and sell its Safetest Covid-19 suite of testing products to our network in the USA and hopefully soon throughout Canada with health approvals,” said Robert Horne, CEO ProNorth Medical. “Our Company has already received inquiries and requests/demand for the VSH Safetest Covid-19 Rapid test from our extensive network in America.”

Felipe Peixoto, CEO of VSH said, “The global vaccination process is a positive step towards tackling the world pandemic crisis, however, that will take many months if not years to cover the global population. Our Antibody Rapid Test products are critical in the process because they identify if one has had or is currently infected with the Covid-19 virus. By simply taking a drop of blood, the end-user, if previously infected with the virus, will have the antibodies present and know that he/she is not urgently required to take a vaccination.”

The Safetest 15 minute Covid-19 Rapid Testing kit enables the user to receive results with 96.6% sensitivity in 15 minutes by a simple blood sample similar to that of a hand held diabetes reader that resembles a pregnancy test stick. This highly accurate test enables the participant to quickly detect if they have Covid-19 antibodies in 15 minutes.

The Safetest 15 Minute Covid-19 Rapid Test has been granted permission by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States to commence marketing, sales and distribution under the emergency use authorization (EUA). The Safetest 15 Minute Covid-19 Rapid Test has been approved for sale and distribution in the European Union and submitted for review and approval in Canada.

VS Health was founded in 2016 to accelerate the development of personalized medicine and technology solutions including diagnostic tests to support patient’s care and improve health outcomes.

Logitech Increases Use of Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic At Scale

Logitech Increases Use of Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic At Scale

By The End Of 2021, The Company’s Largest Product Portfolio Will Include Recycled Plastic In More Than 50 Percent Of All Mice And Keyboards Produced

LAUSANNE, Switzerland & NEWARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI), an award-winning design company and maker of cloud peripheral products, today announced its commitment to incorporating post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) into its products at scale in an effort to reduce its carbon impact and increase circularity of consumer products. In a little over a year, the Company’s largest product portfolio will include PCR in more than 50 percent of its mice and keyboards, and will provide full transparency on the amount of PCR in each product to drive industry innovation and greater adoption of recycled plastic.

Tweet Now: By the end of 2021, more than 50% of mice & keyboards in Logitech’s largest product portfolio will use recycled plastic, eliminating an estimated 7,100 tons of virgin plastic and 11,000 tons of carbon per year. #SustainableDesign #CarbonReduction #Recycle

Over the last three years, Logitech has focused on increasingly moving to PCR plastic across its most popular product lines as part of its Design for Sustainability efforts. Since the launch of the PCR program, the Company will have shipped more than 50 million devices made with PCR plastic by the end of next year. Some products containing PCR plastic include the top-selling Logitech K120 and K400 keyboards, C390 webcam, M100 and M190 mice, and the UE HYPERBOOM. Logitech’s latest product made with PCR plastic is the new ERGO M575 mouse, which started with a design goal of maximizing the use of PCR plastic in the black, graphite and off-white model.

To drive carbon reduction at an even greater scale, Logitech is focusing on utilizing PCR plastic in products that account forthe most units sold globally. The Company is committing that by the end of 2021, more than 50 percent of the mice and keyboard produced in Logitech’s Creativity and Productivity portfolio, the Company’s largest portfolio, will be made with PCR plastic – eliminating an estimated 7,100 tons of virgin plastic and 11,000 tons of carbon per year.

“We are on a journey to design products for the future. The top area where we can make a significant and long-term impact to reduce carbon is by applying our design for sustainability principles across the product development process,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, Global Head of Operations and Sustainability at Logitech. “Since plastic is one of the most used materials at Logitech, we’re investing in the circular economy by recycling and reusing consumer products to push the limits of what is currently possible for recycled plastic.”

Increased Transparency

Starting with the ERGO M575, each product’s PCR content will be validated by independent, third-party experts and transparently shared on the Company’s website. The percentage of recycled plastic in each product will vary depending on the type, color and material make up of a product. The percent of a product’s plastic parts made of PCR currently range from 80% PCR content to no less than 20% for the technically complex lighter color products. Logitech’s design goal is to continue to maximize the percentage of recycled content in each product.

“We congratulate Logitech’s commitment to transparency and third-party certification of post-consumer recycled plastic,” said Nicole Muñoz, Vice President of Environmental Certification Services at SCS Global Services. “Logitech’s focus on circularity and the incorporation of recycled content into their products demonstrates leadership in the consumer electronics industry.”

Innovation

Logitech is working with plastic suppliers to design new and stronger resins in a range of new colors, expanding on what is possible today. New resins will be used in Logitech products to give consumers more color options without compromising on product quality, while also being made available to other companies in an effort to help reduce the consumer electronics industry’s carbon impact.

Beyond recycled plastics, Logitech is working with external partners to develop a roadmap of sustainable materials for the future, as well as sustainable packaging advancements, ongoing innovation on making lower impact electronic devices and continuing to drive renewable electricity programs.

Digital Locations to Benefit from Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Applications Driving the Growth of 5G

Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 adds 5G support for AR, but widespread adoption will require transmission in the true 5G super high-speed millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital Locations, Inc. (DLOC), a developer of cell tower sites for the 5G revolution, today announced that it is likely to benefit from the growth of 5G small cell sites driven by Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications that require super high-speed transmission.

“Augmented reality and virtual reality have suddenly become more relevant in a world where people can’t meet in person as easily,” said Bill Beifuss, President of Digital Locations. “Devices such as Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 are prime examples of applications that will drive the growth of 5G services.”

HoloLens 2 users touch, grasp, and move holograms in ways that feel natural – they respond a lot like real objects – resulting in a comfortable and immersive mixed reality experience.

See the video demonstrating Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 augmented reality device:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIHPPtPBgHk

Holograms have the potential to dramatically improve training, design, and visualization in many business settings and production facilities. Being able to look at, zoom in on and manipulate 3D versions of in-progress designs radically enhances the design process. And voice commands work even in noisy industrial environments through smart microphones and natural language speech processing.

In the field of education, holograms are very important. The reason is that students can actually view the concepts that are taught and visualize them in class or from a distance. Holograms will help students clarify concepts more readily and will enhance the way they learn.

All of these exciting AR applications are only possible with high speed and low latency wireless data transmission. 5G wireless technology can provide that and 5G small cell networks are essential parts of the high speed, low latency solution. The FCC expects up to 80% of new cell site deployments will be small cells. That is because small cells are the only way for operators to deploy 5G in the super high-speed millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum. Transmissions in mmWave spectrum can only travel a few hundred feet, due to the propagation characteristics of that band, and that is ideal for small cells simply because they can be as small as a pizza box and are often installed on building roof tops, store fronts and so-called “street furniture” like light poles or streetlights.

At this time, there is no indication that the large wireless operators, such as Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile Sprint, plan to heavily invest in building small cell networks throughout the country. Instead, they are seeking partners to facilitate the buildout of these networks.

Mr. Beifuss concluded, “All these factors point to a very large market for small cells and a substantial opportunity for Digital Locations. To minimize upfront capital costs, Digital Locations plans to enter into lease option agreements with building/property owners. Once an adequate number of sites have been secured in a particular area (perhaps 20-25 locations in a square mile area), the Company will enter into rental agreements with one or more large wireless operators desiring to extend 5G coverage in the area.”

About Digital Locations, Inc.

Digital Locations, Inc., is a developer of cell tower sites for the 5G revolution. 5G wireless networks are expected to be 100 times faster than current 4G LTE networks. This will enable global scale killer applications such as self-driving cars, the Internet of things (IOT), mobile streaming of 4K videos, real-time hologram-based collaboration, and lag-free high definition gaming. To realize this vision, many new 5G antennas are needed because high frequency 5G signals cannot travel farther than 100 meters. It is estimated that more than 1 million new 5G cell towers must be added in the United States alone. To rapidly enter the market, Digital Locations plans to partner or co-develop a portfolio of cell tower sites to help meet the demands of 5G networks. Our goal is to become a “landlord” of tomorrow’s wireless communications assets.

Nokia and Deutsche Telekom Group expand strategic cooperation to build 5G-ready IP network

Press Release

Nokia and Deutsche Telekom Group expand strategic cooperation to build
5G-ready IP network

          

  • Deutsche Telekom will deploy the Nokia 7750 Service Router portfolio, designed for the 5G and cloud era, to replace and modernize its existing IP edge/core network in Greece and Hungary initially
     
  • Nokia’s IP edge routers deliver the high-performance, scale and flexibility to support a full array of IP services and functions that meet evolving end user needs

          
12 November 2020

Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Deutsche Telekom Group today announced they are expanding their strategic cooperation to build a 5G-ready IP network. Deutsche Telekom has selected Nokia’s 7750 Service Router (SR) platform to significantly expand capacity across its edge/core routing network as it prepares for next-generation broadband and 5G services. Deployment has already started in Greece, where Nokia is replacing and modernizing the operator’s existing IP network. Rollout in Hungary is expected in Q4 2020.

With networks experiencing unprecedented traffic growth and unpredictable demands, operators want to meet ever-increasing performance requirements while driving down network costs. The scale, feature breadth and versatility of the Nokia 7750 SR-s platform addresses these requirements, enabling operators like Deutsche Telekom Group and its affiliates to build bigger, smarter, automated and secure networks with greater return on investment.

As part of its network modernization, Deutsche Telekom needed to replace an existing IP edge/core network that was reaching its end of service with a new network that can cope with 5G and ultra broadband access requirements. A key principle to achieve this was the consolidation of network layers through the integration of IP aggregation and edge/BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) functions into one converged layer.

Deutsche Telekom selected the Nokia 7750 SR-7s routers as they support the full spectrum of provider edge, gateway and core functions for advanced residential, mobile and enterprise services. Powered by the programmable FP4 network processing silicon, the routers will enable Deutsche Telekom to boost IP network capacity with deterministic performace for a top-quality subscriber experience. As a result, Deutsche Telekom can support 5G interconnectivity and an increasing growth in backbone traffic driven by an increase in mobility applications, video streaming, gaming and other high-capacity demands such as remote working.

The 7750 SR-s is managed by the Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP). NSP supports 5G IP transport with automated slicing across IP and optical transport layers with end-to-end orchestration of network resource provisioning and assurance operations. This simplifies operations so that operators can create customer policies/slices with different network performance, quality and routing capabilities to respond quickly to fast-changing subscriber demand.

Bernhard Scholl, Technology Europe VP Access Core & Transport at Deutsche Telekom, said: “Deutsche Telekom Group affiliates need to expand and modernize their IP networks to address stringent 5G IP transport requirements. We continue to see tremendous growth in network traffic and the need to deliver more throughput and higher capacity with strict QoS to our customers is critical. This is particlarly the case as bandwidth intensive applications are shifting to on demand video along with the growing usage of cloud-based services. Building out this backbone with Nokia’s IP edge routers will allow us to stay ahead of our customers’ network needs.”

Vassilis Kazatzopoulos, Head of International Sales DT Global Customer Business Team at Nokia, said: “With trends like 5G, IoT and Industry 4.0 now a reality, networks are expected to handle hundreds of new applications and services for millions of users. The Nokia 7750 SR-s series of IP routers takes router performance to the next level by delivering the massive scale, comprehensive feature set and platform versatility needed to stay ahead of evolving demands. Nokia is excited to expand its longstanding relationship with Deutsche Telekom Group to help prepare its affiliates’ networks for the future.”

Faraday’s 22nm Fundamental IP Adopted for Intelligent IoT Devices

Faraday’s 22nm Fundamental IP Adopted for Intelligent IoT Devices

HSINCHU, Taiwan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Faraday Technology Corporation (TWSE: 3035), a leading ASIC design service and IP provider, today announced that its 22ULP/ULL fundamental IP set has been adopted by customers in multiple IC developments, including IP camera SoCs, true-wireless-stereo (TWS) earphone SoCs, IoT SoCs, and voice recognition AI processors. The IP set is implemented on UMC’s 22ULP/ULL technology, which is tailored to address extended battery life and high-performance requirements of next-generation portable consumer electronics and IoT chips.

Faraday’s 22nm fundamental IP set launched in late 2019. In addition to providing standard cell libraries and memory compilers under a wide voltage range from 0.6V to 1.0V, the IP set also offers 0.7V single rail powered memories to simplify customers’ power designs. To solve the non-Gaussian distribution of STA (Static Timing Analysis) under the 0.6V operating voltage, this IP set applies the moment-based LVF (Liberty Variation Format) model, therefore, the design simulation and physical verification results are more consistent, further enhancing the quality of customer SoC design projects.

“Within a short period of time, our comprehensive 22ULP/ULL fundamental IP set has been deployed in both mainstream and fast-growing consumer electronic applications,” said Flash Lin, chief operating officer of Faraday. “By leveraging this IP offering, our customers can easily deploy new 22nm designs or migrate their existing designs from 28nm to 22nm and obtain better PPA (power, performance, area). To further meet customer needs, we will continue to invest in our 22nm IP portfolio, delivering key functional IPs, including analog, clocks, and high-speed interfaces in the near future.”
