Lindsay Rosenwald’s Fortress Bio (NASDAQ: FBIO) Spotlight on 2024 Milestones from Subsidiaries

Fortress Biotech, Inc.

New York, Feb 2, 2024 - ( Plato Data via 500NewsWire) -- Fortress Biotech (Fortress Bio), a unique biotech company led by industry veteran Dr. Lindsay Rosenwald, focused on identifying, in-licensing and developing high-potential marketed drugs and development-stage drug candidates in-house and through its subsidiary partner companies, has announced multiple new milestones to start 2024 with a bang. Avenue Therapeutics Finalizes Phase 3 Study for IV Tramadol with FDA Avenue Therapeutics, a subsidiary of Fortress Bio, has reached a significant milestone in its quest to introduce new therapies for neurologic diseases. The company has finalized an agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a Phase 3 safety study for intravenous (IV) tramadol. This drug, currently in development, is aimed at treating acute post-operative pain in medically supervised settings. The pivotal non-inferiority study will assess the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression linked to opioid stacking in IV tramadol compared to IV morphine. The study will involve around 300 patients undergoing bunionectomy, comparing the effects of IV tramadol to IV morphine over a 48-hour post-operative period. This study follows the success of IV tramadol in two previous Phase 3 efficacy trials. Avenue Therapeutics' CEO, Dr. Alexandra MacLean, expressed optimism about the trial, noting the collaborative efforts with the FDA and the potential of IV tramadol in managing acute post-operative pain safely. The trial's success could lead to FDA approval of IV tramadol, offering a new pain management option for patients in the United States. Journey Medical Corporation Submits NDA for DFD-29 to Treat Rosacea I n another significant development, Journey Medical Corporation, also a Fortress Biotech subsidiary, has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for DFD-29. This drug, designed for the treatment of rosacea, could revolutionize the approach to this skin condition. DFD-29, or Minocycline Hydrochloride Modified Release Capsules (40 mg), aims to treat both inflammatory lesions and erythema (redness) associated with rosacea. This submission follows the success of two Phase 3 clinical trials, which met all primary and secondary endpoints without significant safety issues. Claude Maraoui, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Journey Medical, highlighted the potential of DFD-29 as a best-in-class oral treatment for rosacea, noting its superiority over existing treatments and placebo in clinical trials. The drug's approval could benefit the approximately 16 million Americans suffering from rosacea, providing a comprehensive treatment option for both inflammatory lesions and erythema. Conclusion These developments from Avenue Therapeutics and Journey Medical Corporation, subsidiaries of Fortress Bio, mark the start of an exciting year for the company. The progress in the development of IV tramadol and DFD-29 showcases Fortress Bio's commitment to advancing medical treatments and enhancing patient care. These milestones reflect the company's strategic direction and potential in 2024, potentially offering hope for new, effective treatment options in neurology and dermatology.

I love the new design because it really does accomplish that, but it’s also user-friendly for seniors to navigate, as well. ” Avenue Z is immensely proud to have played a central role in advancing HFUW's mission to create enduring solutions that enhance the well-being of Central Florida residents.

My hope is that this digital marketing development helps us better communicate to a wider audience — so that we can work hand-in-hand with individuals and organizations across Central Florida to solve our community’s most pressing challenges. ” " As a proud supporter of Heart of Florida United Way, we are thrilled to have been a part of this transformative project. The redesigned website reflects our shared mission to create enduring solutions and enhance the well-being of Central Florida residents.

2 Million Cancer Diagnoses And 600,000 Cancer Deaths Expected In 2024 – Prevention Is Key To Treatment, And Mainz Biomed Is Leading The Charge

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global population is experiencing a scary increase in colorectal cancer, especially among young people. Colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses have been steadily rising since the 1990s; in 1995 the proportion of these cancer cases in adults younger than 55 was 11%, and in 2019, the number was 20%. It is recommended that adults start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45 but with the increase in prevalence, the value of early detection cannot be understated. While doctors still aren’t sure of the reason behind this increase, they are urging the public to take these numbers seriously and embrace preventative measures for early detection. Companies like Mainz Biomed (NASDAQ: MYNZ), a company that specializes in developing molecular genetic diagnostic solutions for life-threatening conditions, are leading the charge in helping make that happen. This company has created ColoAlert®, an innovative product that addresses the need for easier and more accessible cancer screenings for quick detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. The non-invasive and user-friendly test aims to make colorectal cancer screening fast, simple and precise. Once launched in the U.S. Mainz Biomed's ColoAlert will compete with Cologuard from Exact Sciences Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAS), a well-established company that commands a market cap of over $10 billion. The key difference between Cologuard and ColoAlert is that ColoAlert requires far less stool collection than its competitor, a testament to ColoAlert’s technology. This not only increases convenience for the patient but also cuts down on shipping costs and lab time. The only other detection model outside of a traditional colonoscopy is a blood-stool test; however, these tests can only detect cancer, not pre-cancerous polyps. Mainz Biomed has partnered with Liquid Biosciences to ensure its cutting-edge products are top-of-the-line. Recently, Mainz Biomed conducted a multi-center international clinical trial in Germany and Norway to evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert®. The study yielded impressive findings, demonstrating a high sensitivity of 94.4% and specificity of 97.5% for detecting CRC. Additionally, the screening test showed a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 95.2% in detecting precursor lesions, including advanced adenomas that may develop into CRC. In other words, ColoAlert is designed to detect pre-cancerous polyps as well as identify individuals who have colorectal cancer. The CDC reports that colorectal cancer is the second most fatal cancer in the United States and Europe. However, it is also the most preventable, with early detection leading to survival rates above 90%. ColoAlert can be instrumental in preventive care for colorectal cancer. The company reports it has experienced success in Germany, where the product is available through labs, industry partnerships and online for purchase. In 2024, Mainz Biomed is looking to replicate this success in the U.S. and is planning to launch a pivotal trial, seeking FDA approval for its product. If successful, the company will look to partner with a network of labs across the country to increase accessibility to its product with the hope that more Americans will be able to detect pre-cancerous polyps before it is too late. With the American Cancer Society predicting over 600,000 cancer deaths and the equivalent of 5,000 cancer diagnoses each day in 2024, prevention is key to treatment. The preventive healthcare market has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, and it is expected to reach $415 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.7% from 2024 to 2031. Mainz Biomed’s ColoAlert is a great example of the power of technology that can screen for pre-cancerous markers. Mainz Biomed's dedication to pushing the limits of diagnostic technology, enhancing accessibility and its growth trajectory potentially establish it as a formidable presence in the industry, setting it apart from its competitors.

National Day of Action Spurs 280,000+ Calls, Emails, and Tweets to Save Critical Broadband Subsidy

Raynor Ave.

Today, the Affordable Broadband Campaign shared the outputs from its national day of action: Americans made more than 280,000 calls, emails, and social media posts to Congress in support of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The program provides discounts to nearly 23 million American households and needs $7 billion in funding from Congress to ensure people aren’t disconnected from the internet this year. Don’t Disconnect US Day, which took place on January 25, spurred those who care about affordable internet to contact their congressional representatives by phone or email by visiting www.dontdisconnectus.org or partner platforms. The resulting actions from supporters calling for Congress to fund the program included: More than 281,000 emails, calls, and tweets to Congress in one week More than 225,000 emails and calls to Congress in one week More than 114,000 emails and calls to Congress on one day alone (January 25) More than 55,000 posts on social media, including from Sen. Peter Welch (VT) and Rep. Yvette Clark (NY-09) Dozens of op-eds, blogs, and news reports published in a variety of publications, including The Dallas Morning News, News Center Maine, Broadband Breakfast, Benton Institute, and more Don’t Disconnect US also coincided with the date the Federal Communications Commission instructed internet service providers to inform customers that the ACP credit on their bill is ending. One in six U.S. households is currently enrolled in the program, including approximately 960,000 veterans, 3.1 million families with a K-12 student receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and 5 million seniors. “Phones were ringing off the hook in Congressional Offices, plus inboxes were flooded with emails from all 50 states,” said Gigi Sohn, spokesperson for the ‍Affordable Broadband Campaign. “We launched Don’t Disconnect US Day because the situation facing 23 million American households is dire: unless Congress acts now, approximately 50 million Americans could be without their internet. Members of Congress need to listen to their constituents and fund this program now.” A bipartisan, bicameral group of lawmakers has introduced a path forward with the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024, which would provide $7 billion to extend the ACP through the end of the year. The effort is led by Sen. Peter Welch (VT), Sen. J.D. Vance (OH), Sen. Jacky Rosen (NV), Sen. Kevin Cramer (ND), Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04), Rep. Marcus Molinaro (NY-19), and Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17). Don’t Disconnect US was led by the Affordable Broadband Campaign, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring affordable and robust broadband for all. About the Affordable Broadband Campaign The Affordable Broadband Campaign is a group of like-minded nonprofit, industry, civil society, and public interest groups that have come together around one issue: sustainable broadband affordability. The U.S. needs a sustainable policy solution to the problem, and the Affordable Broadband Campaign is focused on securing that through an informed, deliberate strategy.
