Clene Inc. announces positive results from CNM-Au8 results from MS trial

Clene Inc

Clene Inc (NASDAQ:CLNN) CEO Rob Etherington joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news regarding the latest findings from the long-term open-label extension (LTE) of the VISIONARY-MS trial. This trial focuses on participants with stable relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) and represents nearly three years of follow-up research. Following the conclusion of the double-blind period of the trial, participants were given the opportunity to continue with CNM-Au8® treatment at a dose of 30mg for an additional 96 weeks during the LTE phase. The analysis encompassed the modified intent-to-treat population, which included all study participants with valid clinical data. Etherington highlighted the key finding that long-term CNM-Au8 treatment showcased improvements in vision, as measured by low contrast visual acuity, an essential assessment of visual function in individuals living with multiple sclerosis. Remarkably, these improvements in vision persisted for 35 months from randomization, demonstrating the sustained efficacy of CNM-Au8 over an extended period. Moreover, the data revealed consistent and robust overall enhancements not only in vision but also in cognition among participants treated with CNM-Au8 for nearly three years from randomization. These results are particularly noteworthy for their potential to positively impact disease progression and potentially reverse established disability, representing a significant therapeutic breakthrough for patients with MS. Full clinical results from the long-term open-label extension will be officially presented at the ninth annual Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis Forum, scheduled to take place from February 29 to March 2, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Clene's commitment to advancing treatments for multiple sclerosis is evident in these promising results, and their ongoing research holds great promise for enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition. The potential to offer effective long-term solutions and improve both vision and cognitive function is a significant step forward in the battle against multiple sclerosis.

LungLife AI Inc

LungLife AI CEO Dr. Paul Pagano joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discussed the groundbreaking lung cancer detection technology developed by the company. LungLife AI is dedicated to addressing the critical issue of early detection in lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Dr. Pagano highlighted the sobering statistic that 80% of lung cancer cases are detected too late, contributing to the high mortality rate associated with this disease. The company's lung lb test, which has recently undergone successful validation, is poised to revolutionize the early detection of lung cancer by addressing the challenge of evaluating small nodules under 15 millimetres in size. Early intervention is crucial in improving patient outcomes, and the lung lb test is designed to meet this unmet need. Physicians have expressed excitement about the potential of this test to transform the landscape of lung cancer detection. Unlike existing methods, the lung lb test takes a unique approach by examining circulating genetically abnormal cells in the blood. This innovative approach offers a complementary and highly sensitive means of detecting lung cancer, enhancing the chances of early intervention and improved patient prognosis. Dr. Pagano discussed the competitive landscape, emphasizing LungLife AI's patented methods and proprietary technologies that set their approach apart in the field of lung cancer detection. Looking ahead, LungLife AI plans a methodical introduction of the lung lb test through an early access program, ensuring a seamless transition into healthcare settings. The next six to twelve months will involve a commercial proof of concept, with the company collaborating with hospital sites and working towards securing coverage from insurance providers. The potential life-saving impact of LungLife AI's technology and their strategic approach to making it accessible to patients and healthcare providers mark a significant contribution to advancing the field of lung cancer detection. The company's dedication to improving early detection rates and ultimately reducing the mortality associated with this devastating disease underscores their commitment to patient care and well-being.

Bluefield Solar Income Fund investment advisor on a "positive start" to 2024

Bluefield Solar Income Fund

The Bluefield Solar Income Fund (LSE:BSIF), advised by Bluefield Partners, recently announced a significant strategic partnership with GLIL Infrastructure, involving the acquisition of a 247-megawatt UK solar portfolio from Lightsource bp. Bluefield Partners' Managing Partner James Armstrong visits the Proactive London studio to speak with Thomas Warner to talk about how the agreements fits into the fund's long-term strategy of delivering attractive, inflation-linked dividends to its shareholders. Armstrong highlights the three key components of this partnership. Firstly, the acquisition of the Lightsource bp portfolio, which he praises for its diversity, proven management, and high levels of regulated revenues, aligning closely with the fund's objective of providing long-term, inflation-linked returns. About 80% of the revenues from this acquisition are linked to inflation, making it a potentially more attractive proposition for the fund's shareholders. The second phase of the partnership involves selling a 50% stake to GLIL. This move is aimed at reducing the fund's short-term debt burden, which has been a challenge due to the broader market's recent struggles with higher inflation and interest rates, leading to lower public market valuations of infrastructure and renewable energy assets. The third phase focuses on joint development of a pipeline of new assets over the next 2-5 years, leveraging the fund's strong market position and decade-long track record of high performance. In response to potential shareholder reactions, Armstrong anticipates positive support, citing ongoing discussions with them. He says its been a "reasonably positive start" to the year after a challenging 2023. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

MacKenzie went on to provide insights into Skeena Resources' comprehensive workplan, which revolves around building upon the recently completed Definitive Feasibility Study for their 100% owned Eskay Creek Gold-Silver Project, situated in Tahltan Territory within the Golden Triangle of northwest British Columbia.

Most recently, Sui announced that Ondo Finance—the third-largest organization in the real-world asset DeFi sector—is bringing its treasury-backed tokens, tokenized securities, and real-world assets into its ecosystem, as the Sui ecosystem is set to get its first native stablecoin. Sui also recently announced that Banxa, a leading payments infrastructure provider for the crypto-compatible economy, will add the SUI token to its platform. Also recently announced, a partnership with Oracle Stork provides builders with faster pricing data, offering real-time pricing data across Sui’s ecosystem of developers, DEXs, and lending protocols building on Sui's blockchain. “The fact that Sui now stands amongst the top ecosystems in crypto is a testament to Sui’s technology being able to attract top-tier developers and leading projects,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “The recent partnership and expansion announcements, along with the surging metrics, point to Sui having true staying power. Sui is paving the way for widespread adoption and offers endless possibilities for innovation.” Sui’s object-centric model, horizontal scalability, and Move Language position it to host the most scalable solutions that have emerged from the blockchain industry to date. Its rapidly rising TVL results from multiple Sui-based protocols and applications leveraging Sui's strengths. Sui also saw two ecosystem protocols break $100M TVL for the first time in the network’s history. Navi Protocol now stands at over $114M TVL (up 184% over the last 30 days), while Scallop Lend has surged to over $116M TVL (up 258% over the last 30 days). Cetus ($72M), Aftermath Finance ($58M), and FlowX Finance ($49M) round out the top five projects as measured by TVL. Contact Details Sui Foundation Sui Team media@sui.io
