Rozebalamin(R) for Injection 25 mg (Mecobalamin) Approved in Japan for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis JCN Newswire

Rozebalamin(R) for Injection 25 mg (Mecobalamin) Approved in Japan for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

September 24, 2024
Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has obtained manufacturing and marketing authorization approval for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatment “Rozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg” (mecobalamin) in Japan as a treatment for slowing progression of functional impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In May 2022, it received orphan drug designation, and a new drug application was submitted in January 2024, leading to this approval.This approval is based on the results of JETALS (The Japan Early-Stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS), multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized Phase III clinical trial in 130 patients with ALS, that was conducted as an investigator-initiated trial by a research team with Extraordinary Professor Ryuji Kaji (Principal Investigator), Tokushima University, and Professor Yuishin Izumi (Coordinating Investigator), the Department of Neurology, Tokushima University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and Professor Satoshi Kuwabara (Coordinating Investigator), the Department of Neurology, Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine.In JETALS, the mecobalamin 50mg group showed a statistically significant slowing of progression compared to the placebo group in the change in total score from the end of the observation period to week 16 of the treatment period in the primary endpoint, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) (slowing decline by approximately 43%, p=0.01).1 The adverse drug reaction incidence rates were 1.6% in the placebo group and 7.7% in the mecobalamin 50 mg group. Adverse reactions observed in the mecobalamin 50 mg group included constipation, injection site pain, fever, electrocardiogram QT prolongation and rash, each occurring in 1.5% of patients.2ALS is an intractable, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that results in severe muscle atrophy and weakness in the muscles due to motor neuron dysfunction. As the main cause of death is respiratory failure due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles, without the use of an artificial respirator, death occurs within approximately 2 to 5 years from the onset of the disease.3 The number of patients in Japan is estimated to be approximately 10,000. 3 Currently, there is no curative treatment established for ALS, and since there are only limited number of medicines approved in Japan and abroad, this is a disease with significant unmet medical needs.Eisai considers neurology a therapeutic area of focus. As a human healthcare company, Eisai is committed to further addressing the diverse needs of, and increasing the benefits of, patients and their families by providing Rozebalamin as a new treatment option for ALS patients.1. Product Outline1) Product nameRozebalamin® for Injection 25 mg2) Generic nameMecobalamin3) Indication for useSlowing progression of functional impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis4) Dosage and administrationThe usual dose of mecobalamin in adults is 50 mg a day, twice a week, injected intramuscularly.About Rozebalamin (generic name: mecobalamin, development code: E0302)Mecobalamin is approved and marketed as Methycobal®, a 500 µg injection of mecobalamin indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies and megaloblastic anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. Methycobal is also approved as a tablet formulation (250 µg and 500 µg) as well as a fine granule formulation (0.1%) indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuropathies. While the mechanism of action of mecobalamin against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not known, it has been suggested in non-clinical research that mecobalamin may have efficacy through a neuroprotective effect and regeneration of nerve axons. Since the 1990s, clinical research has been carried out on ultrahigh-dose mecobalamin in ALS by a study group on neurodegenerative disease, funded through the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Specified Disease Treatment Research Program. Short- and long-term trials of intramuscular injection of mecobalamin at 25 mg and 50 mg per day, which is respectively 50 and 100 times the approved dosage of Methycobal, suggested that ultrahigh-dose mecobalamin could have a clinical effect in ALS, and Eisai then conducted the Phase II/III clinical trial (Study 761) from 2006. Eisai submitted a new drug application for ultrahigh-dose mecobalamin as treatment for ALS in May 2015 but withdrew the application in March 2016 after the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) indicated that additional clinical trials were necessary.After obtaining favorable results in the investigator-initiated Phase III trial JETALS, and following consultation with Tokushima University, Eisai submitted a new drug application for the treatment of ALS in Japan in January 2024, leading to this approval.About Japan Early-stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS (JETALS)The Japan Early-stage Trial of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin for ALS (JETALS) is an investigator-initiated study conducted as a multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized Phase III clinical trial to verify the efficacy and safety of high-dose methylcobalamin (mecobalamin) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).1Mecobalamin 50 mg or placebo was administered intramuscularly twice weekly for 16 weeks to 130 ALS patients who had suffered from ALS for less than one year, were classified as “definite”, “probable”, or “probable- laboratory supported” according to the Updated Awaji Criteria, had an ALS severity rating of grade 1 or 2, had a decrease of 1 or 2 points in the total score on the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) 12 weeks prior to administration, and had a forced vital capacity (%FVC) of more than 60%.2The primary endpoint was the change in ALSFRS-R total score from the end of the observation period to week 16 of the treatment period. The change was -2.7 [95% confidence interval (CI): -3.9, -1.5] in the mecobalamin50 mg group and -4.6 [95% CI: -5.8, -3.4] in the placebo group, with a difference in change of 2.0 (95% CI: 0.4, 3.5; p=0.012), verifying the superiority of mecobalamin 50 mg over placebo.2 The adverse drug reaction incidence rate was 1.6% (1/64 cases) in the placebo group and 7.7% (5/65 cases) in the mecobalamin 50 mg group. Adverse drug reactions observed in the mecobalamin 50 mg group were constipation, injection site pain, fever, electrocardiogram QT prolongation, and rash, occurring in 1.5% (1/65 cases) each.2(1) Oki R, et al.

Anticancer Agent “Tasfygo(R) Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Approved in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusions or Rearrangements

September 24, 2024
TOKYO, Sept 24, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anticancer Agent “Tasfygo(R) Tablets 35mg” (Tasurgratinib Succinate) Approved in Japan for Biliary Tract Cancer with FGFR2 Gene Fusions or RearrangementsEisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has obtained manufacturing and marketing approval for fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate) in Japan for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy. In Japan, it has received orphan drug designation from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW), and the marketing authorization application was submitted in December 2023.This approval is based on data such as the results of a multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical phase II trial (Study 201) conducted by Eisai in Japan and China. Study 201 enrolled 63 patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements previously treated with gemcitabine-based combination chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of this study was objective response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints included safety.1 This study achieved its primary endpoint and exceeded a prespecified tumor response threshold (15%) with statistical significance: ORR of patients treated with TASFYGO was 30.2% (90% confidence interval (CI): 20.7-41.0) as assessed by independent imaging review. Treatment-emergent adverse events (incidence of 25% or more) observed in this study were hyperphosphataemia (81.0%), palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (44.4%), diarrhoea (36.5%), aspartate aminotransferase increase (31.7%), alanine aminotransferase increase (28.6%) and stomatitis (25.4%).The estimated number of patients in Japan with biliary tract cancer is approximately 22,0002,3 with approximately 25% of the five-year relative survival rate,2 making it an intractable cancer with the second worst prognosis following pancreatic cancer. Since drug therapy options are limited in comparison with other cancers, it is a disease with significant unmet medical needs. FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements are observed in approximately 14% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which accounts for 15-30% of biliary tract cancers.4 FGFR genetic aberrations such as the gene fusions are known to be deeply involved in the proliferation, survival and migration of cancer cells as well as tumor angiogenesis and drug resistance. As these genetic aberrations in FGFRs have been observed in various other types of cancers as well as biliary tract cancer, there is growing interest in FGFRs as a promising target for cancer therapy. TASFYGO is thought to show tumor growth inhibition by selectively inhibiting FGFR1, 2 and 3, and blocking those signals.5,6 In non-clinical studies, the antitumor activity of TASFYGO was confirmed in cells expressing the FGFR2-fusion genes, which were identified by the National Cancer Center Japan (Headquarters: Tokyo) through large-scale genomic analysis of Japanese biliary tract cancer. The companion diagnostic test to detect FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements for the use of TASFYGO in biliary tract cancer, “AmoyDx® FGFR2 Break-apart FISH Probe Kit” by Nihon Stery, Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) was approved in August 2024.7Eisai aims to make continuous efforts to meet the diversified needs of and increase the benefits provided to patients with cancer, their families, and healthcare professionals, by delivering TASFYGO as a new treatment option for biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements.1. Product Information1) Brand nameTASFYGO® Tablets 35mg2) Generic nameTasurgratinib succinate3) IndicationsUnresectable biliary tract cancer with FGFR2 gene fusions or rearrangements that progressed after cancer chemotherapy4) Dosage and AdministrationThe usual adult dose of tasurgratinib is 140mg orally once daily under fasting conditions. The dose may be reduced appropriately according to the condition of the patient.About “TASFYGO® Tablets 35mg” (tasurgratinib succinate, Development Code: E7090) Discovered in-house by Eisai’s Tsukuba Research Laboratories, TASFYGO is an orally available novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor that demonstrates selective inhibitory activity against fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3. Distinct from prior known FGFR inhibitors, TASFYGO has a basic structure which lacks the dimethoxyphenyl moiety, and in a kinetic interaction analysis study, it was observed that TASFYGO demonstrates antitumor activities due to inhibition of kinase activity with a binding mode (Type V) that exhibits rapid and potent binding as well as high selectivity to FGFR. 5,6In non-clinical studies for biliary tract cancer, NIH/3T3 cells expressing FGFR2-AHCYL1, FGFR2-KCTD1, FGFR2-BICC1 or FGFR2-TXLNA as FGFR2-fusion genes, provided by the National Cancer Center Japan, were used. The antitumor activity of TASFYGO against FGFR2 gene fusion-positive cancers was confirmed in these models by evaluating its effect on anchorage-independent growth and subcutaneously transplanted tumor growth in mice.6A Phase I clinical trial is underway in Japan in patients with estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer.(1) Furuse J. et al.

为什么投资者应该拥抱卡玛拉·哈里斯的“机会经济” Latest News

为什么投资者应该拥抱卡玛拉·哈里斯的“机会经济”

September 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 卡玛拉·哈里斯的核心经济目标是为美国建立一个“机会经济”。8 月，她在民主党全国大会上表示，她将“团结劳动者和工人、小型企业主和企业家以及美国公司，创造就业机会”。另一个对哈里斯目标的成功或失败至关重要的组成部分是资本市场。如果当选，哈里斯政府的挑战将是制定政策，促使全球投资者拥抱“机会经济”。 对投资者来说，最重要的两个因素是：第一，经济增长；第二，股市上涨。显然，有很多因素会决定这两个结果。然而，有充分的证据表明，较低的收入不平等程度与更高的整体经济增长率相关，而实行包容性做法的公司则为其股东创造了持续的价值。 经济增长 哈里斯的愿景中隐含着一个假设，即经济增长不必以牺牲为工人争取更公平待遇、建立强大的中产阶级为代价。事实上，在美国，收入不平等程度较低、对工人的公平待遇较高的时期，经济增长更强劲。正如经济学家希瑟·鲍西在《不受约束：不平等如何限制我们的经济以及我们该怎么做》中所说，当人们没有机会时，整个经济体就会失去人才和想法，这会削弱我们的市场并拖累经济增长。 ，美国经济平均每年仅增长 2.6%（在 2006-16 年间降至 1.6%）。这个低增长的时代以收入不平等加剧和中产阶级萎缩为特征。 发现，从 1980 年到 2014 年，美国最富有的 1% 人群的平均收入从 42 万美元增加到 130 万美元，而同期美国最贫穷的一半人口的收入停滞不前。 这是二战后美国经济状况的逆转，当时两者 与经济扩张并驾齐驱。在这段时期内，由于该国经历了低得多的收入不平等，经济平均每年增长约 4%。 战后时期 CEO 与普通员工薪酬的差距鲜明地证明了 几十年来发生了变化。在二战后的头 20 年，CEO 的收入是普通员工的 21 倍。到 2020 年代，CEO 的薪酬已飙升至 普通员工的薪酬，大大拉大了典型员工和公司高管之间的差距。理智的人应该同意，解决这种不平衡问题不是社会主义。相反，这是一种公平而必要的重新调整，即使这将对我们社会中收入最高的人造成一些痛苦。 哈里斯坚信，实现更高水平的整体经济增长并不一定要以牺牲工人福祉为代价。事实上，历史表明，在繁荣程度更广泛的基础上，经济扩张的可能性更大。 长期价值 “机会经济”也将根据总体股市和特定公司的估值进行评判。在这方面，有大量证据表明，为员工提供有竞争力的薪酬和福利，以及晋升机会的公司，是更可持续的企业，并且为其股东创造了更好的价值。 这一点得到了 的证明，该指数跟踪美国 100 家公开交易的公司，这些公司支付公平的生活工资，提供有竞争力的员工福利，并优先考虑其低薪工人的向上流动性。自成立以来，Just 100 指数的回报率超过 Russell 1000 指数 44.8%，这表明投资于工人的公司可以创造更高的长期股东价值。 同样，ETF“港口人力资本因子 (HAPI)”是由经济学家丹·阿里埃利发明的，它识别具有亲工人文化的公司，认为这推动了公司的成功，最终推动了其股价。HAPI 一直 跑赢标普 500 指数，其回报率是标普指数的两倍多。 志同道合的投资者、企业领导人和政府应该共同努力建立这个“机会经济”，并彻底打破经济增长和企业成功会因公平对待工人而受损的谎言。正如 ，美国运通前首席执行官在民主党全国大会上所说，“这可能，事实上是必要的……既支持企业，也支持工人。” 自 之后，我一直与世界上一些最大的机构投资者以及具有前瞻性的 CEO 和民间领导人合作，鼓励公司公平对待员工，拥抱其在社会中的积极作用，并致力于建立一个更 的世界。这种运动可以发展壮大，我们所做的一切将通过精心设计的法律和监管改革来加速推进，这些改革将创造一个充满活力、可持续、包容和值得信赖的“机会经济”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

AAR Corp 第三季度财报预览 Finance

AAR Corp 第三季度财报预览

September 23, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - AAR Corp (NYSE:AIR) 即将发布其第三季度财报，投资者正热切期待着结果。这家专门从事航空服务的公司因其在航空航天行业的重大作用而受到密切关注。分析师预计，这份财报将展示 AAR Corp 在当前经济环境中应对挑战的能力。 在上个季度，AAR Corp 报告的收益超出预期，这是由其维护、修理和大修 (MRO) 服务的强劲需求推动的。航空旅行的持续复苏对公司产生了积极影响，导致收入和盈利能力提高。 对于第三季度，分析师预计每股收益 (EPS) 将约为 0.65 美元，反映出同比增长。预计收入将达到约 4.8 亿美元，这将比去年同期有大幅改善。这些预测基于航空行业的持续强劲势头和 AAR Corp 扩大市场份额的战略举措。 AAR Corp 预计成功的关键因素是其多元化的服务组合。该公司不仅提供 MRO 服务，还提供库存管理、零件供应和面向商业和政府客户的综合解决方案。这种多元化使 AAR Corp 能够降低与特定市场细分领域波动相关的风险。 此外，AAR Corp 的战略合作伙伴关系和收购增强了其能力和市场覆盖范围。该公司最近宣布与一家领先的航空公司合作，提供全面的 MRO 服务，预计这将大幅提升其收入流。 投资者还将热切地了解 AAR Corp 的成本管理战略的最新情况。过去，该公司成功实施了节约成本措施，从而提高了运营效率。该领域的任何进一步进展都可能对公司的财务业绩产生积极影响。 第三季度财报中需要注意的另一个方面是 AAR Corp 对未来几个季度的展望。鉴于全球经济的不确定性，该公司关于未来业绩的指引对于投资者至关重要。积极的预测可能会推动 AAR Corp 的股价上涨，而谨慎的展望可能会导致市场波动。 总体而言，AAR Corp 的第三季度财报预计将提供有关该公司目前状况和未来前景的有价值的见解。投资者应密切关注关键财务指标和任何可能影响公司增长轨迹的战略公告。 脚注:本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 AAR Corp 报告的收益超出预期。 . 预计收入将达到约 4.8 亿美元。 .

Lack of quality data and disconnected tech stack impacting Singapore businesses amid rising costs and competition: HubSpot Research ACN Newswire

Lack of quality data and disconnected tech stack impacting Singapore businesses amid rising costs and competition: HubSpot Research

September 23, 2024
According to HubSpot’s research:High costs is the leading challenge faced by Singapore business (44%) with one in five (22%) saying it’s the biggest challenge they are facing.Intense competition (39%), rising costs of reaching audiences (35%), and channel saturation (34%) emerged as other top challenges in attracting and retaining customers among Singapore businesses.Less than half (43%) of Singapore businesses strongly agree that their data and systems are effectively interconnected to provide a cohesive and comprehensive view of their customers.The average business in Singapore has to switch between 58+ distinct applications just to manage their customer interactions.Nearly eight in ten (76%) of Singapore businesses also do not have enough data or the right data to make their AI usage effective, while about a third (34%) have not ‘started talking about generative AI at all’.SINGAPORE, Sept 23, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HubSpot, the customer platform for scaling businesses, has released new data showing that many Singapore companies are contending with insufficient quality data and a disjointed tech stack even as costs and competition continue to rise.Andy Pitre, EVP of Product, HubSpot, launching Breeze at INBOUND 2024Go-to-market teams—marketing, sales, and service—hold the keys to customer happiness, revenue generation, and ultimately business growth. But today, GTM teams are struggling to keep up, let alone drive growth, thanks to intense competition, increasing costs to reach prospects and customers, and channel saturation. To make matters worse, their tech stacks are falling short.Nearly half of Singapore businesses participating in a HubSpot survey cited high costs (44%) as their number one challenge, with one in five (22%) saying it’s the biggest challenge they are facing. This aligns with data from the Singapore Business Federation, which identified increasing manpower and utilities costs as key contributors to business expenses.The survey also found that intense competition (39%), rising costs of reaching prospects and customers (35%), and channel saturation (34%) are impacting the ability of Singapore businesses to effectively attract and retain customers, potentially limiting their growth potential. Inability to compete against their peers could create additional pressures on Singapore businesses, especially with the country recently ranked the world’s most competitive economy worldwide.While technology has traditionally been viewed among Singapore businesses as a tool to augment competitiveness and allow them to punch above their weight, barriers remain when it comes to quality data and a modern tech stack.HubSpot’s findings indicate that less than half (43%) of Singapore businesses agree that their data and systems are effectively interconnected to provide a cohesive and comprehensive view of their customers. This can significantly increase complexity in managing customer interactions and experience, with the average business in Singapore needing to switch between more than 50 distinct applications just to manage customer interactions. As a result, many businesses may struggle to gain a consolidated view of their customers, leading to disconnected data and a suboptimal customer experience.“Needing to switch between more than 50 applications to manage customer interactions is not only detrimental to efficiency, but could also lead to inaccuracies as businesses try to align insights across disparate data sources. Having a single source of truth for customer data is essential to build and maintain meaningful customer relationships,” said Dan Bognar, Vice President & Managing Director of JAPAC, HubSpot. “Technology can give businesses a helping hand, however our findings show that data connectedness and a unified tech stack are presenting significant opportunities for local businesses looking to improve prospecting and customer retention.”An overall lack of quality data could also have had an impact on local adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered tools. According to HubSpot’s survey, nearly eight in ten (77%) of Singapore businesses felt they did not have enough data or the right data to make their AI usage effective. Perhaps as a consequence, about a third (34%) have not ‘started talking about generative AI at all’.“Operating in the world’s most competitive economy is no easy feat, requiring a delicate balance between manginging increasing costs, while delivering an impactful customer experience. At HubSpot, we are committed towards equipping businesses with applications that are easy to use, fast to implement, and delivered on a unified platform. This helps to align marketing, sales, and service teams with a unified view of their customer.” said Bognar.To help businesses grow better in today’s environment, HubSpot is committed to building easy, fast and unified tools.
