K3 Holdings

K3 Holdings, a privately held real estate investment firm with extensive holdings throughout the United States and Alpine LA Properties, a leasing company providing newly remodeled apartments at affordable rates in Los Angeles, congratulated Team USA for their outstanding performance in the Paris Olympics. Following more than two weeks of competition and lifetimes of preparation, athletes representing the United States won 126 medals (40 gold) leading all other countries at the conclusion of the games in Paris. "Congratulations to Team USA for showcasing the true spirit of excellence and determination, bringing home the most medals and making us all proud,” stated Michael Kadisha, a Principal of K3 Holdings. "Winning the most medals is a triumph of skill and perseverance, and more so, a testament to the unity and resilience that define the American spirit. Dedication, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude leads to greatness, and we are all inspired by the performance of our athletes in Paris.” "In sports, as in life, the way we handle victory says as much about us as the victory itself. Gratitude and humility elevate every achievement. Winning with grace and losing with dignity are the hallmarks of true champions,” Michael Kadisha continued. “The K3 Holdings and Alpine teams were impressed at how Team USA proved themselves to be real winners by celebrating their victories while honoring their opponents with respect and gratitude.” The Olympics serve as a unique platform where nations from every corner of the globe come together in a spirit of friendly competition. Beyond the medals and records, the Olympics foster an environment where cultural exchange and mutual understanding thrive. In a world often divided by differences, the Olympics create a space where adversaries can engage in dialogue, learn from one another, and find common ground through shared values of sportsmanship and respect. "The Olympics is a powerful testament to how people from diverse cultures and backgrounds can come together to achieve greatness," stated Nathan Kadisha, a K3 Principal. "The actions of Olympic athletes in Paris show us that dedication, perseverance, and mutual respect transcend borders and ideologies. These are the values that can truly unite us and drive real change beyond the games." “We are excited that Los Angeles will be hosting the Olympics four years from now,” Michael Kadisha said. “By watching athletes from rival nations compete with honor and integrity, in our own community, we will once again be reminded that even in competition, there is room for cooperation, empathy, and the possibility of resolving conflicts peacefully.” ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a K3 spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details K3 Holdings/Alpine LA Properties Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://k3holdings.com/

Alzamend Neuro Partners with Massachusetts General Hospital for Phase II Trial of Next-Generation Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder

MarketJar

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) was the third leading cause of global disease burden in 2008, according to the World Health Organization, with projections that it could become the leading cause by 2030. MDD is a severe mental health condition marked by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and difficulties in daily functioning. 1 Lithium, a well-known mood stabilizer, has been used off-label for MDD, but its application is limited by safety concerns due to its narrow therapeutic window. In response to this unmet need, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is dedicated to developing innovative treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including MDD. The company's latest effort involves a promising partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001, a next-generation lithium-based therapeutic candidate aimed at improving the safety and effectiveness of lithium treatment for MDD. Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University, will lead the study. This trial aims to compare AL001's effectiveness and safety against a marketed lithium carbonate product by examining lithium levels in the brain and its structures. Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) previously completed a Phase IIA trial that identified a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for AL001. This dose is designed to provide lithium at a safe and effective level without the need for frequent monitoring, unlike current lithium treatments that are limited by chronic toxicity and poor physicochemical properties. The primary goal of this study is to determine the ideal dose of AL001 that can achieve similar or better effectiveness and safety compared to existing lithium salts. Alzamend is optimistic that the study will meet regulatory safety standards through the FDA's Section 505(b)(2) pathway, which allows for new formulations of approved drugs. Stephan Jackman, Chief Executive Officer of Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Andronesi for the pivotal study of AL001. He highlighted the potential of AL001 to be a next-generation lithium product with an improved safety profile and enhanced brain biodistribution, which could eliminate the need for routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Jackman emphasized that developing such a product would represent a significant advancement over existing lithium-based treatments and could have a positive impact on the over 21 million Americans affected by Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Alzamend plans to share more details about the study’s timeline and market opportunities in the near future. Alzamend Neuro and Massachusetts General Hospital Launch Phase II Trials of AL001 for Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer’s Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) is also partnering with MGH to conduct Phase II clinical trials of AL001 for patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and Alzheimer’s disease. These trials are also led by Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University. Lithium, the first mood stabilizer approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), remains the gold standard for treating bipolar disorder (BD). With over 35 years of use, its safety profile is well established, which may reduce regulatory hurdles. This trial aims to compare the increase in brain lithium levels between AL001 and a commonly marketed lithium salt in BD patients, seeking to optimize dosing for enhanced effectiveness and safety. As for the Alzheimer’s trial, a cohort of healthy subjects will be studied to compare their plasma and brain pharmacokinetics with those of Alzheimer's patients. This trial aims to evaluate the increase in brain lithium levels and its distribution between AL001 and a commonly marketed lithium salt in both Alzheimer's patients and healthy subjects. Alzamend Neuro Secures $25 Million Funding to Advance Clinical Trials Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) recently secured the initial two tranches under a $25 million purchase agreement. This investment will drive the progress of Alzamend 's clinical trials and the development of next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, MDD, and PTSD. CEO Stephan Jackman highlighted the company’s commitment to achieving clinical milestones and transforming lithium-based therapies for millions of people affected by these conditions.

Alzamend Neuro Partners with Massachusetts General Hospital for Phase II Trial of AL001 involving Patients with Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer's Disease

MarketJar

Mental health issues are on the rise, affecting almost 60 million US adults and more than 970 million people worldwide. 1 Rising cases has led to an uptick in new treatments moving through the clinical stages, including Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), which is focused on developing next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among its promising pipeline, AL001 stands out as a potential game-changer for bipolar disorder treatment. Alzamend Neuro 's AL001, a patented ionic cocrystal technology, aims to deliver lithium in a way that reduces toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy by combining lithium, salicylate, and L-proline. Alzamend Neuro is rapidly advancing treatments for mental health disorders, potentially accelerating clinical phase progress due to the successes of AL001 in a Phase I and Phase IIA clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. In 2023, the company filed IND applications for Phase IIA Clinical Trials of AL001 for Bipolar Disorder, MDD and PTSD. By the end of 2023, the FDA granted approval for these studies via “Study may proceed” letters. Alzamend Neuro Partners with MGH for Phase II Trial of Next-Generation Lithium Therapeutic Drug Candidate for Bipolar Disorder On August 6th, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) announced a partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001 for treatment of patients with bipolar disorder. MGH, the primary clinical education and research facility of Harvard Medical School, is the world's largest hospital-based research program. Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University and Director of Multinuclear Metabolic Imaging at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, will lead the study as the Principal Investigator. The trial will compare AL001 to a marketed lithium carbonate product, focusing on bioavailability and brain distribution of lithium, with the goal of establishing AL001's safe, effective, and tolerable dosing requirements. AL001 is designed to offer the therapeutic benefits of traditional lithium salts while minimizing their toxic side effects. This head-to-head study will measure lithium levels in the brain and structures of bipolar disorder patients, building on mouse studies that suggest AL001 can achieve therapeutic benefits at lower doses. The study will also leverage brain imaging to predict the efficacy and safety of AL001 compared to existing lithium treatments. Alzamend Neuro 's previous Phase IIA studies of AL001 in Alzheimer's patients and healthy subjects have demonstrated a benign safety profile, identifying a candidate dose unlikely to require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This is a significant advancement, as current lithium treatments require rigorous monitoring due to their narrow therapeutic window and potential toxicity. “We are elated to partner with Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Andronesi in this pivotal study for our lead therapeutic candidate AL001,” said Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) CEO Stephan Jackman, “If we can develop a next-generation lithium product (AL001) with an improved safety profile and enhanced biodistribution in the brain that would not routinely require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), it would constitute a major improvement over current lithium-based treatments and positively impact the 7+ million Americans afflicted with bipolar disorder. We look forward to providing more details regarding study timelines and market opportunity in the near future.” This innovation has the potential to positively impact the over 7 million Americans living with bipolar disorder. Further details about the study timelines and market potential will be shared soon. Alzamend Neuro to Conduct a Phase II Clinical Trial of AL001, involving Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) also just announced a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct A Phase II clinical trial for AL001, for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This trial will involve both Alzheimer’s patients and healthy subjects to compare the bioavailability and brain distribution of AL001 versus a marketed lithium carbonate product. The trial, which will also be led by Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi of Harvard University, aim to establish AL001's safe, effective, and tolerable dosing requirements. The potential to avoid the need for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is also significant, as it could simplify treatment regimens and improve patient compliance. By potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional lithium treatments, AL001 could revolutionize how Alzheimer's disease is managed. The ability to measure lithium levels directly in the brain and brain structures using advanced imaging techniques will provide invaluable insights into the drug’s efficacy and safety. This approach not only enhances our understanding of how AL001 works but also supports its potential approval through a Section 505(b)(2) pathway with the FDA. If successful, the trial could pave the way for a new era in Alzheimer's treatment, providing hope for millions of patients and their families. Financial Support for Clinical Trial In addition to this groundbreaking partnership, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) recently secured the first two tranches of a $25 million Series A purchasing agreement. This investment supports the advancement of Alzamend 's clinical trial and the development of next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, MDD, and PTSD. CEO Stephan Jackman emphasized the company's dedication to advancing clinical milestones and revolutionizing lithium-based therapies for millions affected by these conditions.

Citius Pharmaceuticals To Receive 65 Million Shares Of TenX Keane For Merger Of Citius Oncology

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Citius Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, is progressing with its focus on unlocking value for investors by announcing that shareholders of TenX Keane Acquisition (NASDAQ: TENK), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, have voted to approve the previously announced business combination between TenX Keane and Citius Pharma’s oncology subsidiary. The newly combined public company will continue to trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange and is to be renamed Citius Oncology, Inc. In October, Citius announced it was spinning out its wholly-owned oncology unit to form Citius Oncology, a standalone publicly traded entity. Under the terms of the deal, Citius Pharma is getting 65.6 million shares of common stock of Citius Oncology, which would represent approximately 90% of the newly public company. As part of the transaction, Citius Pharma will contribute $10 million in cash to Citius Oncology. An additional 12.75 million existing options will be assumed by Citius Oncology. At closing, any cash remaining in TenX’s trust account along with the cash provided by Citius Pharma will be contributed to Citius Oncology for working capital and general corporate purposes of Citius Oncology following the transaction. Unlocking Significant Value Citius previously stated that the SPAC deal is expected to unlock significant value for Citius shareholders by separating the oncology business, potentially leading to increased access to capital markets and further development of new applications and additional intellectual property. It also underscores Citius’ strategy to purchase assets, develop them and bring them to market and then unlock shareholder value. First Out Of The Gate: LYMPHIR Citius Oncology will serve as a platform to develop and commercialize novel targeted oncology therapies. The first to go to market will be LYMPHIR, a recombinant fusion protein designed to treat T-cell lymphomas. Citius said the deal is expected to provide Citius Oncology with improved access to the public equity markets and thereby facilitate the commercialization of LYMPHIR and position the company to explore additional value-creating opportunities more fully. The drug agent LYMPHIR combines the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. In 2011 and 2013, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to LYMPHIR for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In 2021, Citius acquired an exclusive license with rights to develop and commercialize LYMPHIR in all markets except for Japan and certain other parts of Asia. In March this year, the FDA accepted Citius’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for LYMPHIR with a decision expected on August 13, 2024, the FDA's assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date. If approved, Citius is preparing for LYMPHIR commercialization later this year. “The reason we are doing this is acquire a Nasdaq listing by having the SPAC acquire the assets and at the same time it enables us to do something to prevent dilution for shareholders,” said Leonard Mazur, CEO of Citius in a recent interview with Benzinga. The CEO counts himself as one of the shareholders. He has invested $22.5 million of his own money in the business. “During the first year on the market we will be profitable. All that benefits Citius shareholders,” he said. Featured photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash.

Mental health issues are on the rise, affecting almost 60 million US adults and more than 970 million people worldwide. 1 Rising cases has led to an uptick in new treatments moving through the clinical stages, including Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), which is focused on developing next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among its promising pipeline, AL001 stands out as a potential game-changer for bipolar disorder treatment. Alzamend Neuro 's AL001, a patented ionic cocrystal technology, aims to deliver lithium in a way that reduces toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy by combining lithium, salicylate, and L-proline. Alzamend Neuro is rapidly advancing treatments for mental health disorders, potentially accelerating clinical phase progress due to the successes of AL001 in a Phase I and Phase IIA clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. In 2023, the company filed IND applications for Phase IIA Clinical Trials of AL001 for Bipolar Disorder, MDD and PTSD. By the end of 2023, the FDA granted approval for these studies via “Study may proceed” letters. Alzamend Neuro Partners with MGH for Phase II Trial of Next-Generation Lithium Therapeutic Drug Candidate for Bipolar Disorder On August 6th, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) announced a partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001 for treatment of patients with bipolar disorder. MGH, the primary clinical education and research facility of Harvard Medical School, is the world's largest hospital-based research program. Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University and Director of Multinuclear Metabolic Imaging at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, will lead the study as the Principal Investigator. The trial will compare AL001 to a marketed lithium carbonate product, focusing on bioavailability and brain distribution of lithium, with the goal of establishing AL001's safe, effective, and tolerable dosing requirements. AL001 is designed to offer the therapeutic benefits of traditional lithium salts while minimizing their toxic side effects. This head-to-head study will measure lithium levels in the brain and structures of bipolar disorder patients, building on mouse studies that suggest AL001 can achieve therapeutic benefits at lower doses. The study will also leverage brain imaging to predict the efficacy and safety of AL001 compared to existing lithium treatments. Alzamend Neuro 's previous Phase IIA studies of AL001 in Alzheimer's patients and healthy subjects have demonstrated a benign safety profile, identifying a candidate dose unlikely to require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This is a significant advancement, as current lithium treatments require rigorous monitoring due to their narrow therapeutic window and potential toxicity. “We are elated to partner with Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Andronesi in this pivotal study for our lead therapeutic candidate AL001,” said Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) CEO Stephan Jackman, “If we can develop a next-generation lithium product (AL001) with an improved safety profile and enhanced biodistribution in the brain that would not routinely require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), it would constitute a major improvement over current lithium-based treatments and positively impact the 7+ million Americans afflicted with bipolar disorder. We look forward to providing more details regarding study timelines and market opportunity in the near future.” This innovation has the potential to positively impact the over 7 million Americans living with bipolar disorder.

HPS/PayMedix Acquires TempoPay to Further Expand and Simplify Healthcare Payments for All

HPS|PayMedix

HPS/PayMedix today announced the acquisition of TempoPay, an innovative payments solution created at Redesign Health that helps employees access medical, dental, pharmacy, and other expenses not paid by their insurance. Together, HPS/PayMedix and TempoPay now offer a comprehensive healthcare financing and payments solution, addressing the issues of health equity, affordability, and the need to simplify the healthcare payments experience. According to the PayMedix Healthcare Payments and Financial Disparities Study, one-third of Americans say out-of-pocket costs (33%) and deductibles (31%) are unaffordable. This figure increases to four in ten for those with a credit score of 669 or less. Further, more than half (52%) of insured Americans said that paying for medical bills has been stressful, with nearly all of them (92%) claiming the stress has affected their physical and mental health. “Healthcare costs are increasingly becoming a disproportionate share of the American household wallet, and we need better solutions to manage the stress this puts on family budgets,” said Tom Policelli, CEO of HPS/PayMedix. “The acquisition of TempoPay underscores our mission to simplify healthcare and create greater health equity by removing the financial barriers that stand in the way of employees getting access to the care they need when they need it; not just when they feel that they can afford it.” TempoPay offers all an employer’s employees’ interest-free financing for health and wellbeing care that overlays their current plans. Once activated by the employee, TempoPay VISA® cards can be used to pay for everything from medical care and prescriptions to vision and dental bills; even vet bills for their pet and other approved health and wellness-related costs not covered by their plans. The employer sets the dollar amount and charge types that will be processed, and employees can repay their bills over time interest-free via payroll or bank account. “TempoPay is the lifeline employees need today so they can access care and maintain their health without fearing high interest bills or avoiding needed care,” Erika Davison-Aviles, CEO and Co-founder of TempoPay said. “We are excited to become a part of HPS/PayMedix’s innovative healthcare payment solution and further our mission to alleviate consumers’ financial pressure. For employers we help maximize the value of their benefits plans, pre-tax accounts, and other well-being programs.” With TempoPay and PayMedix combined, all employees can access interest-free financing for all their healthcare needs. While TempoPay offers immediate financing of everyday healthcare expenses, PayMedix provides complete, uncapped financing for all in-network allowed charges that any employee may owe to providers. All employees are automatically enrolled and PayMedix then pays all participating providers in full. The employees each get a simplified consolidated statement (a SuperEOB) each month and can arrange to pay it on terms that fit their budgets. Participating providers, in turn, are simply paid the full employee balance due automatically and therefore have no bill to collect. Because PayMedix and TempoPay are ‘credit-blind’, all employees, regardless their credit histories, can make their healthcare expenses more manageable. “It’s a fact that 1 in 4 PayMedix members would be unable to get financing for their healthcare based on their credit scores. With TempoPay, we can reach even more members to help them get and stay healthy,” said Brian Marsella, President of HPS/PayMedix. “The powerful combination of PayMedix and TempoPay provides employers with a valuable solution to support their workforce. We have proven that improving access to care drives better outcomes – particularly for lower-income employees. This in turn saves employers money.” About PayMedix PayMedix, which began as the financing arm of Wisconsin-based HPS over a decade ago, is the only company solving the problem of high out-of-pocket costs for everyone -- providers, patients, employers, and TPAs. PayMedix is changing how people access, use, and pay for healthcare by guaranteeing payments to providers and financing for all patients. PayMedix has processed more than $5 billion in medical payments for hospital systems and physician practices and can be implemented in conjunction with any PPO or HMO network. About TempoPay TempoPay partners with employers to help their employees manage their medical costs with interest-free financing and flexible repayment options. With theTempoPay Visa ® card employees can take control of how they pay for healthcare without added stress, providing simple access to the financial security needed for happier, healthier lives. About HPS Health Payment Systems (HPS) is a privately held healthcare technology and services organization with solutions that reduce the cost and complexity of the healthcare payments process to benefit providers, employers, patients and TPAs. Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, HPS has an independent network of 100+ hospital facilities and 29,200+ individual providers.
