TRML | Hot Stocks16:34 EDT Tourmaline Bio announces TRANQUILITY study design - Tourmaline Bio presented a poster at the American Society of Preventive Cardiology Congress in Salt Lake City, Utah, detailing the rationale and design of the company's TRANQUILITY Phase 2 study examining the potential of its lead candidate, TOUR006, to reduce high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a key biomarker of residual inflammatory cardiovascular risk, in patients with chronic kidney disease and elevated hs-CRP. Patients with CKD and elevated hs-CRP are at heightened risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease, despite current standard-of-care treatments. The IL-6 pathway has been identified as a significant contributor to ASCVD risk, particularly in CKD patients. TOUR006 has previously shown promise in reducing hs-CRP levels in patients with inflammatory autoimmune diseases. In the poster Tourmaline provided an overview of the study design and rationale behind investigating TOUR006 in patients with CKD and elevated hs-CRP. The company said, "Objective: To evaluate the hs-CRP-lowering effect, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TOUR006 in patients with CKD and elevated hs-CRP. Design: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial involving approximately 120 patients with CKD stage 3 or 4 and hs-CRP greater than or equal to2 and less than15 mg/L. Methods: Participants are stratified by CKD stage and randomized to receive subcutaneous TOUR006 at doses of 50 mg quarterly, 25 mg quarterly, 15 mg monthly, or placebo. The primary pharmacodynamic endpoint is the change in hs-CRP levels. Additional biomarkers being measured include IL-6, lipoprotein(a), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and fibrinogen. Timeline: The treatment and follow-up periods are 180 days and 185 days, respectively, with the primary completion expected in May 2025. The Phase 2 TRANQUILITY trial is expected to inform the dosing regimen and design of any future Phase 3 cardiovascular studies in high-risk patients."

KO | Hot Stocks09:34 EDT U.S. Tax Court enters decision on Coca-Cola tax case, reflects $6B in liability - The U.S. Tax Court completed the next step in the legal process by entering a decision in the ongoing tax case between Coca-Cola and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The decision reflects a liability of approximately $2.7B. With applicable interest, the total amount is anticipated to be approximately $6B. Coca-Cola believes the IRS and the Tax Court misinterpreted and misapplied the applicable regulations involved in the case and will defend its position on appeal. The company has 90 days to file a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The company looks forward to the opportunity to begin the appellate process and, as part of that process, will pay the agreed-upon liability and interest to the IRS. On Sept. 17, 2015, the company received a notice from the IRS seeking approximately $3.3B of additional federal income tax for years 2007 through 2009. In the notice, the IRS stated its intent to reallocate over $9B of income to the U.S. parent company from certain of its foreign affiliates retroactively, rejecting a previously agreed upon methodology without prior notice to the company. On October 15, 2015, the IRS designated this matter for litigation, precluding the company from any, and all, alternative means of resolution other than going to court. On November 18, 2020, the Tax Court issued an opinion in which it predominantly sided with the IRS. On November 8, 2023, the Tax Court issued a second related opinion also siding with the IRS on the remaining issue. The company said it believes it will prevail on appeal with respect to the issues raised in both the 2020 and 2023 Tax Court opinions. In line with the company's goal to be as transparent as possible, the company has also provided guidance on the potential outcome should it not to be successful on appeal. This guidance and other details about the tax case are available in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Form 10-Q filed on July 29.
