Looking ahead, MetaWin plans to integrate $ROCKY into upcoming community competitions, thus enhancing its utility beyond that of a typical meme coin. These initiatives aim to cement $ROCKY's role within the community and further validate the coin's slogan: "MORE than a meme coin."

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals outlines significant progress with HEMO-CAR-T in 2023

HemoGenyx Pharmaceuticals

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals PLC CEO Dr Vladislav Sandler tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2023 was a significant year for the company, marked by notable progress with its HEMO-CAR-T product candidate. The key achievement for the year was the submission of a new Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to commence a phase one clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia. However, the process faced a setback due to issues with lentivirus purity, resulting in a clinical hold. After re-manufacturing the lentivirus, Hemogenyx successfully addressed the FDA's concerns and received approval to proceed with the clinical trials. Furthermore, Sandler reported a successful fundraising which will support the upcoming clinical studies. The company also entered a service agreement with Prevail Infoworks for the clinical trials. In addition to its advancements in HEMO-CAR-T, Hemogenyx continued developing other programs, such as its proprietary Chimeric Bait Receptor (CBR) platform, showing promise in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma and exploring applications in solid rare tumors. For 2024, the primary focus remains on advancing these clinical trials, particularly the phase one studies, with an immediate goal to initiate patient treatment.

Fah Mai Holdings CEO calls for greater regulation in whisky cask trading

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc (OTC:FMHG) CEO Louis Haseman discusses the need for regulating the whisky industry, particularly focusing on the trade of whisky casks. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Haseman highlighted a significant issue with scams involving non-existent whisky casks, referencing a public statement by Fergus Ewing of the Scottish National Party about £4 million worth of fictitious casks sold last year. Haseman emphasized that this figure likely underestimates the true extent of fraud in the industry. Current regulations primarily cover the production and storage of Scotch whisky but do not adequately address the trading of whisky casks, which has minimal oversight. This lack of regulation makes the market susceptible to fraudulent activities. Haseman argued for increased transparency in the trading process to ensure that investors are aware of the actual existence and value of the casks they purchase. He noted the innovative efforts by Vikki Bruce, who developed 'CaskNet', a platform aiming to provide transparency and potentially mitigate scams by verifying casks. This initiative represents a step towards improving industry standards and protecting consumers. Contact Details Proactive UK +44 20 7989 0813 UKEditorial@proactiveinvestors.com

Immunic CEO Dr Daniel Vitt marks International Day of Immunology with discussion on its crucial role

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc CEO Dr Daniel Vitt joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion on the International Day of Immunology to discuss the broad and crucial role of immunology in human health. Vitt said immunology encompasses immune responses against pathogens like viruses, including the coronavirus, and also plays a significant role in combating cancer. He highlighted the importance of the immune system in managing and preventing autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells, leading to various conditions. Focusing on Immunic's efforts, Vitt detailed their drug development pipeline, particularly in addressing chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. He spotlighted multiple sclerosis, with ongoing phase three studies in its relapsing form and a phase two study, named the CALLIPER trial, for its progressive form. The latter holds particular promise as it targets an area with currently no available treatments. For celiac disease, Vitt reported promising results from a phase one B proof-of-concept study that showed positive data across various metrics, including histology and biomarker levels. Plans are underway for further phase two studies in celiac disease and potentially other indications. Vitt also shared his personal journey from chemistry to immunology, driven by the potential to develop drugs that address significant medical needs.

Vinanz Ltd. Expands Bitcoin Mining Operations in North America

Vinanz Ltd

Vinanz Limited Executive Chairman David Lenigas joined Steve Darling from Proactive at our OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company's recent developments. Vinanz is a London-based Bitcoin mining company with a dual listing on the OTCQB. Lenigas outlined Vinanz's strategic positioning primarily in North America, with operations in Nebraska and Labrador, Canada. The company recently obtained DTC eligibility, which enhances its market presence, particularly in the U.S., and supports its market capitalization and growth objectives. Lenigas highlighted Vinanz's focus on expanding its North American operations by adding clusters of 250 to 500 Bitcoin miners across various states and provinces. Despite the typical reduction in Bitcoin production during a recent 'halving' event, Vinanz experienced an initial increase in production in Canada, which Lenigas attributed to overclocking older machines to enhance performance by 15-20%. Although this anomaly was short-lived, production stabilized at a higher-than-expected rate, reflecting the company's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies and maintaining competitive electricity costs. Looking ahead, Vinanz plans to significantly expand and install new mining equipment to enhance efficiency and productivity. The company remains committed to its strategic growth trajectory and aims to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the Bitcoin mining sector.
