18:03 EST Kinnate Biopharma announces acceptance of abstracts for KIN-2878 at AACR - Kinnate Biopharma "announced abstracts highlighting the company's lead RAF kinase inhibitor program, KIN-2787, have been accepted for presentation at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2022, to be held April 8-13, in New Orleans, Louisiana. KIN-2787, is an orally available small molecule pan-RAF inhibitor being developed for the treatment of patients with lung cancer, melanoma, and other solid tumors. KIN-2787 has been designed to target both monomeric and dimeric forms of the mutant BRAF kinase and minimize paradoxical activation, a liability often observed with other RAF inhibitors that can adversely impact tolerability and require addition of a MEK inhibitor to suppress pathway activation. Unlike currently available treatments that target only Class I BRAF kinase alterations, KIN-2787 targets Class II and Class III BRAF alterations, where it has the potential to be a first-line targeted therapy, in addition to covering Class I BRAF alterations. The ongoing KN-8701 clinical trial of KIN-2787 is actively enrolling patients across multiple centers in the United States."

The investigator-initiated study conducted by Chapagain et al. entitled "Omadacycline efficacy in the hollow fibre system model of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex and potency at clinically attainable doses" was supported by a research grant from Paratek and published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. The authors determined that NUZYRA demonstrated considerable efficacy and potency against MAC when tested in a hollow fiber system infection model at the standard clinical doses approved for community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults. Subsequent simulations conducted to identify the optimal dose of oral omadacycline predicted that standard clinical doses would be bactericidal in the treatment of pulmonary MAC. "In this study, we confirmed our hypothesis that NUZYRA, because of its known spectrum of activity, would demonstrate activity against MAC in this infection model," said investigator Tawanda Gumbo, M.D., chief executive officer of Praedicare, Inc. "Based on the impressive results showing the highest NUZYRA exposure produced a similar reduction in mycobacterial burden as a three-drug standard of care regimen consisting of clarithromycin plus rifabutin and ethambutol, we believe further research is warranted to determine the potential of NUZYRA as a treatment option for pulmonary NTM infections caused by MAC."

As many of you know, we have been operating in Russia for more than 60 years, and we have a place in many Russian homes. Pepsi-Cola entered the market at the height of the Cold War and helped create common ground between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, given the horrific events occurring in Ukraine we are announcing the suspension of the sale of Pepsi-Cola, and our global beverage brands in Russia, including 7Up and Mirinda. We will also be suspending capital investments and all advertising and promotional activities in Russia. As a food and beverage company, now more than ever we must stay true to the humanitarian aspect of our business. That means we have a responsibility to continue to offer our other products in Russia, including daily essentials such as milk and other dairy offerings, baby formula and baby food. By continuing to operate, we will also continue to support the livelihoods of our 20,000 Russian associates and the 40,000 Russian agricultural workers in our supply chain as they face significant challenges and uncertainty ahead. Our first priority continues to be the safety and security of our fellow Ukrainian associates. We suspended operations in Ukraine to enable our associates to seek safety for themselves and their families, and our dedicated crisis teams in the sector and region continue to closely monitor developments in real time... My heart goes out to all those who are caught in the middle of this deadly conflict. As it so often does, war is falling hardest on the innocent.

16:20 EST CytoSorbents sees gradual recovery of normalized hospital activity in FY22 - The company said, "The macro environment in which we operate remains difficult to predict given the complex drivers of our business and global nature of our operations. We expect COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations worldwide to continue to decline and expect to reach a more normalized operating environment as the year progresses, as high rates of vaccination and natural immunity have reduced the severity of COVID-19 illness and need for hospitalization and ICU care, and with it the use of CytoSorb in these patients. Our 2022 outlook assumes a gradual recovery of normalized hospital activity in Germany and other key countries and no major economic slowdowns as a result of new variants of COVID-19. As a result, we expect limited COVID-19 related product sales in 2022 compared to an estimated $6.3M in COVID-19 related product sales in 2021. In addition, given our global presence, the Russia-Ukraine war presents a unique challenge, and we are unable to predict at this time how this situation may evolve. We believe we currently have limited exposure, where in 2021, product sales generated from Russia and neighboring countries potentially impacted by the conflict amounted to less than 4% of product revenue. Assuming little, to no sales in 2022 from Russia and neighboring countries that might be impacted by the war, we expect growth of 20% or more in 2022 core, non-COVID-19 sales, compared to $33.8M in core, non-COVID-19 product sales generated in 2021."

16:12 EST XPO Logistics announces plan to create two standalone, public companies - XPO Logistics announced that its board of directors, after a thorough examination of strategic alternatives, has approved a plan that the board believes is the optimal path to unlock value for XPO stakeholders. XPO intends to separate its tech-enabled brokered transportation services from its less-than-truckload (LTL) business in North America; and intends to divest its European business and North American intermodal operation. The planned spin-off transaction is intended to be tax-free to XPO shareholders and would create two focused, publicly traded companies at the top of their industries: The spin-off would be a leading platform for tech-enabled truck brokerage services in North America, with a long track record of industry-best revenue and margin growth, a highly efficient digital freight marketplace and access to vast truckload capacity, with complementary, asset-light offerings for last mile logistics, managed transportation and global forwarding. The corporate headquarters are expected to be in Charlotte, North Carolina Upon completion of the spin-off, XPO's North American LTL segment would be a pure-play LTL industry leader - the third largest provider of domestic and cross-border LTL freight shipping, with a competitively advantaged network of transportation assets managed by proprietary technology. The standalone business would have a singular focus on enhancing the growth and profitability of its national network for the benefit of its stakeholders. The corporate headquarters are expected to be in Greenwich, Connecticut. The company plans to divest its European business through either a sale or a listing on a European stock exchange. In North America, the company is currently under an exclusivity agreement in connection with a potential sale of its intermodal business, which provides rail brokerage and drayage services. Brad Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of XPO Logistics, said, "Our two core businesses of North American less-than-truckload and tech-enabled truck brokerage are industry-leading platforms in their own right, each with a distinct operating model and a high return on invested capital. We believe that by separating these businesses through a spin-off, we can significantly enhance value creation for our customers, employees and shareholders, as we did with our successful spin-off of GXO last year." The company expects to complete the planned spin-off in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to various conditions, including the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement, receipt of a tax opinion from counsel, the refinancing of XPO's debt on terms satisfactory to the XPO board of directors, and final approval by the XPO board of directors, among other requirements. There can be no assurance that the planned spin-off or divestiture transactions will occur or, if one or more do occur, of the terms or timing.

In the single-center named patient program, patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer or metastatic disease were treated with Ampligen for 6 weeks, at 2 doses per week with 400 mg per infusion. The study found that Ampligen improved the median survival of these patients. The median overall survival in the Ampligen group was 19 months, compared to a historical control group and subgroup of 7.5 and 12.5, respectively, that did not receive Ampligen. The median PFS was significantly longer, or 13 months, with rintatolimod compared to both matched controls and the subset of matched controls at 5 and 8.6 months, respectively. "We are very encouraged by these data, which we believe reaffirm the potential of Ampligen to offer an important treatment option to patients living with pancreatic cancer. These data now in hand play a key role in the overall advancement of our pancreatic cancer program and provide valuable insight as we continue to execute the path forward. We continue to be encouraged by the favorable results demonstrated with Ampligen and are committed to securing the next phase of development of this important program," commented Thomas Equels, CEO of AIM.

11:20 EST DermTech says cost-benefit study published in Journal of Cutaneous Medicine - DermTech announced earlier today that "SKIN: The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine" has published its original research study, with Daniel M. Siegel, MD, MS as the lead author. The findings outlined in the publication, "Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Pigmented Lesion Assay When Introduced into the Visual Assessment / Histopathology Pathway for Lesions Clinically Suspicious for Melanoma," suggests that use of the Pigmented Lesion Assay, or "PLA," to rule out melanoma can minimize avoidable surgical procedures on benign lesions and decrease downstream costs of late-stage melanoma diagnoses, which reduces overall cost of care, the company said. To determine the per member per month net savings of incorporating the PLA into the current care pathway, a Return on Investment model was developed from a U.S. payor perspective. This model predicted annual net savings of $0.54 PMPM for commercial health plans over a three-year period with incorporation of the PLA, according to the company. "This research study is a testament to how the PLA has the potential to reduce costs for health insurance plans and improve patient care by limiting the number of potentially avoidable biopsies. As we continue to leverage genomics to advance melanoma detection and dermatology as a whole, we continue to believe that the PLA has the potential to be incorporated into additional insurance plans," said John Dobak, MD, CEO of DermTech.

The complaint was brought in United States District Court for the Central District of California. The company's initial public offering registration statement's "representations were materially inaccurate, misleading, and/or incomplete because they failed to disclose, among other things, that the R1T and R1S were underpriced to such a degree that Rivian would have to raise prices shortly after the IPO and that these price increases would tarnish Rivian's reputation as a trustworthy and transparent company and would put a significant number of the existing backlog of 55,400 preorders along with future preorders in jeopardy of cancellation. As a result, the price of the Company's shares was artificially and materially inflated at the time of the Offering," the lawsuit claims. Shares of Rivian Automotive are up 4% to $43.97 in morning trading.

The company noted some highlights which include, "Huntsman's troubling history of missed promises and failed commitments to shareholders. Reality: Huntsman FAILED to deliver on its 2016 Investor Day target by a substantial margin....Reality: Huntsman FAILED to deliver on its promise of growing Adjusted EBITDA organically at a 10% CAGR through 2020...In summary, Huntsman MISSED its 2018 Investor Day target if you looked at it in 2020 AND if you properly looked at it in 2021. Please do not be fooled by the Company's DISINGENUOUS attempts to retroactively revise its promises and obfuscate the truth. Huntsman's poor capital allocation. Reality: Huntsman acquired a healthy Textile Effects business in 2006, NOT in 2011 like its shareholder presentation MISLEADINGLY suggests, DESTROYED the business, and the business has only recently recovered to its original state after 16 years...Huntsman's troubling history of poor governance and compensation practices. Reality: Huntsman added directors to an entrenched Board but DID NOT REFRESH legacy directors...Reality: the Company has a FAILING GRADE on pay-for-performance...Huntsman's troubling history of financial underperformance. Reality: Huntsman's core reporting segments have not changed meaningfully since its IPO...Reality: Huntsman's Adjusted EBITDA margins remain one of the LOWEST among peers. Huntsman's margins HAVE NOT been enhanced and have deteriorated from a 500bps deficit to a 900bps deficit relative to peers since its IPO. Huntsman's troubling history of share price underperformance...Reality: Huntsman DOES NOT have a track record of shareholder value creation and has UNDERPERFORMED both peers and the market across nearly all measurable time periods...Starboard and its slate of highly-qualified, diverse and experienced director nominees. Reality: Starboard and its nominees have a proven track record of creating shareholder value, and have extensive and highly relevant expertise in the chemicals industry...PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HUNTSMAN'S MANY MISLEADING, REVISIONIST, AND DISINGENUOUS CLAIMS! HUNTSMAN NEEDS STRONG INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHO WILL DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. If management is willing to mislead shareholders, we believe management may also be willing to mislead the Board, further emphasizing the dire need for change in the boardroom.

Realized contractual natural gas sales were approximately 188 million standard cubic feet per day for February 2022. The Carambolo 1 well has been cased as a gas discovery. The rig is currently mobilizing to drill the Chirimia 1 sidetrack with the objective of reestablishing gas production from the Cienaga de Oro sandstone reservoir. Chirimia 1 was drilled in 2018, and subsequently experienced mechanical issues which have prevented the well from being produced since 2019. Upon completion of the Chirimia 1 sidetrack the rig will mobilize to drill the Cornamusa 1 exploration well. This well will target CDO reservoir sandstones in a faulted anticlinal closure defined on 3D seismic. The prospect also exhibits a signature AVO response indicative of the potential for the presence of natural gas in the reservoir sandstones. During January 2022, the Corporation repurchased 5,307,700 Common Shares for CAD$ 3.15 per share under its normal course issuer bid, relying on the block purchase exemption under the NCIB rules. Following this large repurchase the Corporation's NCIB was inactive in February.

09:17 EST Atossa Therapeutics announces issuance of U.S. patent covering endoxifen - Atossa Therapeutics announces that the U.S. Patent and Trademark office has issued a new patent further strengthening Atossa's intellectual property in its proprietary therapy Endoxifen, which is under development for breast cancer and other breast conditions. U.S. Patent No. 11,261,151 is titled "Methods for Making and Using Endoxifen" and is directed to compositions of storage-stable Endoxifen and methods of treating hormone-dependent breast disorders using the storage-stable Endoxifen. Atossa is developing its proprietary Endoxifen in two clinical settings: one to reduce tumor cell activity in breast cancer patients in the neoadjuvant setting, meaning prior to surgery; and another to reduce dense breast tissue in women. A Phase 2 study is currently underway in women with measurable breast density and Atossa plans to submit a request to the FDA to open other Phase 2 in the neoadjuvant setting in the next quarter. Atossa's neoadjuvant program is focused on breast cancers that are classified as estrogen receptor positive. Although there are numerous neoadjuvant treatments for breast cancers that are not ER+, there are few neoadjuvant treatments for ER+ breast cancer which comprises about 78% of all breast cancers. We believe there is a compelling need for therapy with our Endoxifen in this setting. An estimated ten million women in the U.S. have mammographic breast density, or MBD, for which there is no FDA-approved treatment. MBD is an emerging public health issue and studies conducted by others have shown that MBD increases the risk of developing breast cancer and that reducing MBD can reduce the incidence of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that in the U.S. in 2022, 287,850 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, 47,550 of which will be under the age of 50 and 43,250 of which will die from the disease.

09:05 EST Scotts Miracle-Gro sees FY Hawthorne sales declining 15%-25% - The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company lowered its full-year sales guidance for its Hawthorne segment and said the reduction would likely lead to adjusted earnings per share that are lower than previously expected. Speaking at the Raymond James 43rd Annual Institutional Investors Conference, chief financial officer Cory Miller said the Company now expects Hawthorne sales to decline 15 to 25 percent, including the benefit of acquisitions. Sales in the segment have been challenged for several months due to an oversupply of cannabis, which is leading to a slowdown in both indoor and outdoor cultivation. "We believe Hawthorne sales have found the bottom in terms of average daily volume," Miller explained. "However, there is a seasonal element to the business that would normally be in play by now that has not materialized to the extent we anticipated. While sales volume has begun to improve recently, the year-over-year rate of decline has expanded and that trend appears likely to carry through March. The revised Hawthorne sales outlook means ScottsMiracle-Gro is unlikely to reach the low end of its guidance for non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share. Miller said management remains optimistic about the continued strength of the U.S. Consumer segment and is working to moderate the earnings gap from the shortfall in Hawthorne sales with a goal of achieving non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share of at least $8.00. "The midpoint for our sales guidance for our U.S. Consumer business continues to assume an 8-point decline in unit volume on a full-year basis and the business continues to significantly outperform against that plan," Miller said. "Consumer purchases, in units, entering March are essentially flat from year-ago levels and shipments to retailers through five months are at record levels. Still, it is too early in the season to adjust our outlook for the business. However, we and our retail partners remain encouraged by the level of consumer participation we continue to see as we prepare for the peak weeks of the season." During his presentation to investors, Miller also said the Company no longer expects a significant acquisition in fiscal 2022 to bolster its presence in the live goods category. ScottsMiracle-Gro had been actively pursuing such an opportunity over the past year but has ended those discussions. "We see live goods as critical to our future with growth in this category through M&A remaining a major component of our strategic plan," Miller said. "However, our M&A strategy has been successful over the last several years because we have remained disciplined in our approach and been willing to step away when the economics or other factors no longer make sense." The Company expects to provide a further update on May 3, 2022, when it releases its second quarter results.

09:03 EST Emerita Resources provides update on permitting process for Romanera, El Cura - Emerita Resources announces that the permitting for the Romanera and El Cura deposit diamond drill program at its wholly owned Iberia Belt West Project is nearing the conclusion and the Company expects to be able to commence the drill program on those targets in the coming weeks. According to David Gower, P.Geo., CEO of Emerita, "Our entire team is excited to get the drills turning to delineate these two deposits and particularly Romanera. As noted in the Company's news release dated January 28, 2022, recent work by the Company appears to have greatly expanded the potential footprint of the deposit. Whereas historical drilling delineated mineralization along a strike length of 450 meters, our geophysical survey indicates a strong EM conductor that extends for a total strike length of 1,200 meters. On February 18, 2022, the 30 business day period for public comment with respect to the proposed drill program concluded. On the last day of the public comment period, as has been the case previously, there was a submission from Ecologists in Action, a Spanish environmental group. The comments received from the ecologist group are similar to those that were submitted by them to the Provincial Mining Authorities when Emerita received the Iberia Belt West exploration permits. The concerns were addressed at that time and the Project was approved by the authorities and it is the expectation of the Company that the Provincial Environmental Authorities will respond in the same way at this time. From this point, the permitting process requires that the Environmental Authorities consider the comments and provide a response. The Environmental Department is currently drafting the Environmental Statement, which is the basis for the future Unified Environmental Authorization. Once complete, the Environmental Statement is provided to all interested parties for 15 working days for informational purposes and will be followed by the final approval of the Resolution which allows drilling to commence at the Romanera and El Cura deposits. The Romanera and El Cura deposits are part of the IBW Project area that require a comprehensive permitting process due to sensitivity related to the presence of cork oak trees in the area. The Company along with its consultants and in consultation with officials from the Environmental Authorities completed detailed studies, including flora and fauna and archeological studies as part of the process. The drill program has been designed carefully to minimize the footprint and utilize existing roads and farm tracks for the positioning of the drill pads. The file contains all the institutional reports and comments of interested parties, town planning reports from the councils of Puebla de Guzman and Paymogo municipalities, Water, Heritage and Mine/Geology reports, as well as the comments of interested parties, including Ecologists in Action. Drilling continues in the Infanta area of the Project with five diamond drills. Staffing levels continue to be affected by Covid Protocols, which has resulted in staff shortages presently due to the requirement to isolate. The Company is awaiting assays, however massive and semi massive to stringer sulphide mineralization has been intersected at the Infanta North target. Infanta North is a new discovery in that two drill holes have intersected sulphide mineralization over a strike length of at least 300 meters and at a depth of more than 300 meters in an area that has never been drilled previously. A third hole is in progress on this target. Infanta North appears to be in the same stratigraphic and structural position as the El Cura deposit and is interpreted to be a folded repetition of the Infanta stratigraphy to the south. Drilling also continues to extend the sulphide mineralization down dip at the Infanta deposit. The Company will provide a more detailed description of the drill results as soon as assays are received. At Nuevo Tintillo, the helicopter airborne gravity and electromagnetic surveying is about to commence. The company has engaged Geognosia, a geophysical consulting company based in Spain, to carry out the Gravimetric survey, using a Helicopter-borne HTDEM System. The penetration is estimated to be approximately 500m. The company expects this program will results in geophysical anomalies that will be follow up with detailed exploration. The entire property which extends approximately 23 km in an east-west direction by 3 to 5 km north-south will be covered. The line spacing on the western part of the property where the historical mines and the central area where known mineralization occurs will be covered by 100 m spaced lines and the remainder at 200 m line spacing. The Company continues to await the next step of the Aznalcollar legal proceedings for both the Criminal court and the Administrative Court. Due to the numerous disruptions over the past two years related to the pandemic, there is a large backlog of court cases in the system. The Government has indicated it intends to appoint as many as 40 new judges to assist in alleviating this. The Company has received many inquiries from stakeholders regarding the status of Aznalcollar proceedings and counsel in Spain has advised us that these are Superior court proceedings that under the circumstances will be dealt with in time along with the many other cases before the courts. The evidence and the rulings to date all point to a positive outcome for Emerita and that has not changed.

Under the terms of the agreement the companies plan to jointly conduct clinical trials to evaluate their combination in different patient populations with advanced NSCLC. Lung cancer is worldwide one of the most common diagnosed malignant cancer types and the leading cause of cancer death.

The companies plan to develop the collaboration beginning with Phase 1/2 clinical trials in the first-line treatment setting in advanced NSCLC. Under the terms of the agreement, BioNTech and Regeneron will equally share development costs for the trials. In addition, under a separate agreement, BioNTech plans to conduct and sponsor a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the combination of BNT116 and Libtayo in further subpopulations with NSCLC. The agreement follows the company's existing collaboration evaluating the combination of BioNTech's FixVac candidate BNT111 with Libtayo in advanced melanoma. BNT111 was granted U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation in November 2021 and is currently investigated in a randomized Phase 2 trial. The trial was initiated in June 2021, following encouraging data from an exploratory interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 1 Lipo-MERIT study with BNT111 as monotherapy and in combination with PD-1 blockade, which was published in Nature. In addition, BioNTech is investigating and sponsoring a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the combination of Libtayo with the Company's FixVac candidate BNT112 in prostate cancer.

In the study, COR588 exhibited an 11-to-12-hour half-life consistent with once daily dosing and a dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile that achieved and exceeded the targeted exposure predicted for therapeutic efficacy. "COR588 was designed to be a potent and selective molecule with pharmacokinetics supportive of once daily oral dosing and these data support continued development," said Michael Detke, MD, PhD, Cortexyme's chief medical officer. "We are encouraged by the initial safety results and look forward to sharing the full data set from the COR588 Phase 1 trial in the second quarter of 2022 once the multiple ascending dosing phase is complete."

Numerous results outlined below indicate the potential for resource expansion while focusing on converting known zones of mineralization. These reported results are the initial batch from the Q4, 2021 drill program. During 2022, Calibre is advancing an additional multi-rig 50,000 metre program which is currently underway with five drill rigs operating in Nevada. Highlights from the Pan drill program include: Drilling has focused on new zones of mineralization and expanding known zones of inferred mineralization, 1.02 g/t Au over 50.3 metres in Hole PR21-045, 0.83 g/t Au over 34.0 metres in hole PCM21-001; 0.47 g/t Au over 45.7 metres in Hole PR21-044, 0.44 g/t Au over 44.2 metres in Hole PR21-002; 0.46 g/t Au over 56.4 metres and 0.40 g/t Au over 62.5 metres in Hole PR21-001; 0.58 g/t Au over 41.2 metres and 0.68 g/t Au over 24.4 metres in Hole PR21-022; 0.40 g/t Au over 30.5 metres and 0.42 g/t Au over 16.8 metres in Hole PR21-021; 0.65 g/t Au over 9.1 metres in Hole PR21-017, 0.59 g/t Au over 13.7 metres in Hole PR21-048; and 0.48 g/t Au over 45.7 metres in Hole PR21-044, 0.55 g/t Au over 16.8 metres in Hole PR21-056. Darren Hall, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Calibre stated: "These initial results indicate that several targets previously identified by the Nevada exploration team have the potential to add to the overall Pan resource and extend the mine life. Calibre's 2022 drill program will continue to advance near mine resource conversion and expansion opportunities and test new targets that have not been drilled within the Pan exploration concession. The team in Nevada have done a commendable job in establishing Pan as a reliable producer, generating operating cash flow which was prudently reinvested into the business. While it is early, we are seeing the benefits of our muti-rig, 50,000 metre exploration and resource expansion drill program, which will give us valuable new information to optimize the Pan mine production profile. Given Calibre's strong balance sheet and consolidated production guidance of 220,000 - 235,000 ounces gold, the Company will generate significant operating cash flow, providing the capital to reinvest and unlock the ultimate potential at Pan."

07:18 EST Calithera Biosciences to present data highlighting VPS4 - Calithera Biosciences announced that it will present the first data from its preclinical synthetic lethality pipeline at the American Association for Cancer Research 2022 Annual Meeting, being held April 8-13, 2022, in New Orleans, LA. The accepted poster will detail Calithera's discovery of a novel series of vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 4A inhibitors that are currently advancing through lead optimization. VPS4A and VPS4B are paralog ATPases essential for remodelling intracellular organelle membranes. Membrane remodelling is an essential cellular function and loss of function of both VPS4 paralogs is lethal to cells. The preclinical data demonstrate that VPS4A genetic inhibition in cell lines with loss of VPS4B preferentially showed profound death in cancer cells. Calithera is building a robust preclinical pipeline of additional synthetic lethality targets with a continuing focus on paralog genes. Gene paralog pairs represent a promising class of synthetic lethal cancer targets. When a tumor cell loses one paralog, the cell is dependent on the second paralog to carry out an essential cellular process, since loss of both paralogs leads to tumor cell death. Calithera researchers have confirmed VPS4A and VPS4B as synthetic lethal paralog pairs, noting that both homozygous and heterozygous loss of VPS4B in cancer cells makes them vulnerable to VPS4A inhibition. VPS4B is lost in a heterozygous fashion in the majority of colorectal cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, ovarian, esophageal and head & neck cancers and is deleted in large numbers of other tumor types. At AACR 2022, Calithera will report the discovery of a series of novel, small-molecule VPS4A inhibitors which have potential in the treatment of VPS4B-deleted tumors.

07:17 EST Amryt Pharma announces results from PK study for Mycapssa - Amryt announces completion of a successful pharmacokinetic, PK, study for Mycapssa. The data supports a planned Phase 3 study of Mycapssa in the treatment of patients with carcinoid symptoms due to Neuroendocrine Tumors, NET. PK Study Results: The objective of the PK study was to demonstrate that doses of Mycapssa up to 80mg result in the desired bioavailability and dose proportionality with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. The Phase 1 study was an open-label, six sequence, 3 period cross-over design, enroling 30 healthy subjects who were administered single doses of Mycapssa. The study results showed dose linearity from 20mg to 80mg. Safety and tolerability was acceptable and in line with expectations and no serious adverse events were reported. The study achieved its objectives and the data supports the planned Phase 3 study in patients with carcinoid symptoms due to NET. The study results are consistent with the prior PK study which was undertaken with these higher doses and compared to injectable SSA. The US Food and Drug Administration has confirmed that a single positive Phase 3 study would be sufficient for approval, consistent with the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway previously agreed. Amryt is currently finalising the study protocol with the FDA and expects to initiate the Phase 3 study in Q4 2022. Dr Joe Wiley, CEO of Amryt Pharma, commented: "Today's news represents a significant milestone in our plan to develop Mycapssa for patients affected by carcinoid symptoms associated with NET. This additional indication for NET, if approved, creates a substantial new market opportunity for Amryt estimated at $1.9B globally. We are very excited at the potential for Mycapssa and our TPE technology to deliver an oral therapy option to NET patients in need".

The study enrolled more than 400 patients across 30 sites in Europe, Israel, and Canada. Piclidenoson is a novel, first-in-class, A3 adenosine receptor agonist A3AR small molecule, orally bioavailable drug with a mechanism of action involving inhibition of 2 cytokines, interleukin-17 and interleukin-23, both pivotal for the formation of skin lesions. Piclidenoson has also recently shown to induce death of pathological skin cells. The Comfort randomized, double blind, active and placebo-controlled study's primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who achieve a PASI score response of =75% vs. placebo at week 16, and secondary endpoints include non-inferiority to Otezla , a leading oral drug on the market, at week 32. Piclidenoson is administered twice daily orally. "While we had been expecting to announce topline results in the first quarter of 2022, it is taking longer than expected to gather and tabulate the data from this 400-plus person international study. We now expect to report results in the second quarter of 2022. We look forward to analyzing the data and are hopeful that Piclidenoson may prove to be an effective treatment with minimal to no side effects in the $11 billion psoriasis market," stated Can-Fite CEO Dr. Pnina Fishman.

"We are acutely aware that our decision last week to purchase a cargo of Russian crude oil to be refined into products like petrol and diesel - despite being made with security of supplies at the forefront of our thinking - was not the right one and we are sorry. As we have already said, we will commit profits from the limited, remaining amounts of Russian oil we will process to a dedicated fund. We will work with aid partners and humanitarian agencies over the coming days and weeks to determine where the monies from this fund are best placed to alleviate the terrible consequences that this war is having on the people of Ukraine," said Shell CEO, Ben van Beurden. "Our actions to date have been guided by continuous discussions with governments about the need to disentangle society from Russian energy flows, while maintaining energy supplies. Threats today to stop pipeline flows to Europe further illustrate the difficult choices and potential consequences we face as we try to do this. Following government statements this week, I want to set out our position clearly. Unless directed by governments, we will: Immediately stop buying Russian crude oil on the spot market and we will not renew term contracts. At the same time, in close consultation with governments, we are changing our crude oil supply chain to remove Russian volumes. We will do this as fast as possible, but the physical location and availability of alternatives mean this could take weeks to complete and will lead to reduced throughput at some of our refineries. We will shut our service stations, aviation fuels and lubricants operations in Russia. We will consider very carefully the safest way to do this, but the process will start immediately. We will start our phased withdrawal from Russian petroleum products, pipeline gas and LNG. This is a complex challenge. Changing this part of the energy system will require concerted action by governments, energy suppliers and customers, and a transition to other energy supplies will take much longer. These societal challenges highlight the dilemma between putting pressure on the Russian government over its atrocities in Ukraine and ensuring stable, secure energy supplies across Europe," said van Beurden. But ultimately, it is for governments to decide on the incredibly difficult trade-offs that must be made during the war in Ukraine. We will continue to work with them to help manage the potential impacts on the security of energy supplies, particularly in Europe."

05:18 EST Voyager Therapeutics announces TRACER license agreement with Novartis - Voyager Therapeutics (VYGR) announced an agreement through which Novartis (NVS) may exercise options to license novel AAV capsids generated from Voyager's RNA-driven TRACER capsid discovery platform for potential use with three undisclosed CNS targets and options to access capsids for two additional targets to be agreed on in the future. Voyager will receive $54M upfront and is entitled to receive up to $37.5M in exercise fees for options for three initial CNS targets, exercisable by Novartis within 12 months of signing. In addition, Novartis may elect to evaluate capsids for up to two additional targets to be agreed on in the future, subject to their availability, for $18M upon selection of each target, and a $12.5M exercise fee for selection of a capsid for each target. Voyager is also eligible to earn up to $1.5B in potential development, regulatory, and commercial milestones for products utilizing Voyager licensed capsids, as well as mid- to high-single-digit tiered royalties based on net sales of Novartis products incorporating the licensed capsids. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis has the right to evaluate novel capsids from Voyager's TRACER platform and to exercise options to license capsids for exclusive use with specific targets in Novartis' development of AAV gene therapies. The targets for which Novartis receives rights under the agreement are distinct from those in Voyager's internal and partnered pipeline, and Voyager retains global rights to its TRACER discovery platform as well as all capsids arising from it for use with other targets, subject to Voyager's obligations under its agreement with Pfizer (PFE) announced in October 2021 for access to TRACER capsids for use with one neurologic and one cardiovascular target. An initial set of proprietary AAV capsids derived from Voyager's TRACER platform have demonstrated superior blood-brain barrier penetration, increased transduction in the brain and spinal cord, enhanced cardiac muscle tropism, and increased transgene expression in target tissues compared to conventional AAV capsids when dosed intravenously in non-human primates. A capsid from this initial set demonstrated more than 1,000-fold increased transgene expression levels compared to conventional AAV9 across a wide array of brain regions when dosed intravenously in NHPs. A separate capsid showed significantly enhanced cardiac muscle transduction and dorsal root ganglia detargeting compared to conventional AAV9 when dosed intravenously in NHPs. Subsequent TRACER screening campaigns have identified a new class of AAV9 variants selective for glial cells, which may enable more precise targeting of CNS diseases affecting non-neuronal cells, as well as AAV5 capsid variants with enhanced brain and spinal cord tropism, compared to conventional AAV9 and AAV5. Voyager is performing further screening with its TRACER capsid discovery platform to identify additional proprietary AAV9- and AAV5-derived capsids targeting multiple tissue and cell types, as well as further refining identified capsids to enhance desirable characteristics for use in gene therapies to treat a broad range of diseases.
