    Pull up EFSH Immediately and start your research.

    Capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business.

    Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings (NYSE: EFSH) can consistently acquire businesses it views as “solid” for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations.

    The end result? These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to EFSH’s ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.

    1847 seeks to invest in companies whose business models enable them to drive their own growth. We anticipate this will permit us to invest successfully, and develop deep expertise, in nine primary industries. Our experience and sector focus compounds our ability to evaluate and execute investment opportunities quickly, and add significant value post-closing.

    Divested Asien’s Appliance business, significantly enhancing balance sheet

    Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, “I am pleased to report we achieved a 15.0% year-over-year increase in revenue and a 13.3% year-over-year increase in gross profit. Additionally, revenues from the automotive supply segment increased by 41.1% to $1.8 million. This growth can be attributed to strategic initiatives begun in Q4 2023, coupled with a new credit facility established in late January 2024, further empowering the acceleration of this business segment’s expansion. This achievement reaffirms the substantial value that 1847 delivers to our subsidiaries, both financially and operationally. During the quarter, we successfully divested of our Asien’s Appliance, significantly enhancing our balance sheet. This resulted in a $1.1 million gain for Q1 2024. By strategically divesting of Asien’s, we anticipate a reduction in 1847 Holdings’ expenses by approximately $10.9 millionannually, which should positively impact margins across our primary business lines. The divestiture of Asien’s enables us to streamline operations, optimize resource allocation, and position 1847 Holdings for sustained growth and profitability. This underscores our commitment to delivering shareholder value, as we continue to pursue opportunities for growth and enhanced profitability, in alignment with our long-term strategic goals.”

    Mr. Ellery continued, “We’re maintaining a strong acquisition pipeline, focusing on companies offering value and positive cash flow, while minimizing dilution for shareholders. Recently, we announced a non-binding LOI to acquire a prominent millwork, cabinetry, and door manufacturer headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. This target boasts revenues of $28.6 million, with a purchase price of $16.75 million which represents approximately 3.2x 2023 EBITDA. This acquisition presents an attractive opportunity for 1847, with favorable negotiated terms and the potential to complete the transaction without equity-based funding at this time.”

    “Additionally, we executed a non-binding LOI to sell all of the assets of 1847 Cabinets Inc.Under the terms of the LOI, the buyer has proposed an enterprise value of $27.6 million for the acquisition of all of the assets of 1847 Cabinets, including $11.5 million in earn-out payments over a three-year period, representing a 5.91x multiple of 2023 EBITDA of approximately $4.7 million. We are advancing this transaction and anticipate closing within 90 days. Proceeds from the sale will be utilized to repay senior secured debt and other liabilities, allocate funds for working capital and future acquisitions, and potentially initiate a share repurchase program. This strategic move validates our ability to purchase, operate, and enhance asset value, thereby strengthening our financial position and enabling strategic resource reallocation to capitalize on emerging opportunities within our portfolio and beyond,” concluded Mr. Roberts.

    1847 Provides Update on Pending Strategic Transactions Expected to Increase Cashflow, Strengthen Balance Sheet, and Enhance Capital Structure

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC (“1847” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:EFSH), a holding company specializing in identifying over-looked, deep value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today provided a business update on its pending strategic transactions.

    Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, “Following a strong first quarter, in which we achieved solid revenue growth and successfully divested Asien’s Appliance, I am pleased to report we are making continued progress on a series of additional strategic initiatives expected to significantly enhance shareholder value. As an example, we are rapidly advancing towards finalizing our definitive agreement to acquire a prominent millwork, cabinetry, and door manufacturer, which generated very significant EBITDA in 2023. Through the combination of this and other planned activities, we expect to significantly lower our leverage ratio via an increase in net EBITDA relative to outstanding debt. In turn, we plan to accelerate our repayment of debt, extend the duration of remaining indebtedness, as well as eliminate any equity-linked aspects of repayment. As a result, we expect 1847 will be in a significantly stronger financial position, generating meaningful cash flow with an enhanced balance sheet and capital structure. We expect to complete the outstanding transactions in the near term and look forward to providing updates as developments unfold.”

    1847 Provides Update on the Sale of 1847 Cabinets Inc.

    PUBLISHED

    APR 29, 2024 8:00AM EDT

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC (“1847” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:EFSH), a holding company specializing in identifying over-looked, deep value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today provided an update on the sale of 1847 Cabinets Inc.

    As previously announced on April 23, 2024, the Company executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with a prospective strategic buyer to sell all of the assets of 1847 Cabinets Inc.(“1847 Cabinets”). Under the terms of the LOI, the buyer has proposed an enterprise value of $27.6 million for the acquisition of all of the assets of 1847 Cabinets, including $11.5 million in earn-out payments over a three-year period, representing a 5.91x multiple of 2023 EBITDA of approximately $4.7 million. The transaction continues to progress through routine due diligence and the Company currently expects the transaction to close within the next 90 days.

    Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, “We are pleased with the progress we have made advancing this transaction. Currently, the proposed acquisition is undergoing confirmatory due diligence and negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement, both of which are progressing according to plan. As a result, we currently anticipate the closing to take place within 90 days. Given the purchase price, our intention is to utilize the cash proceeds to repay senior secured debt and other liabilities, allocate funds for working capital and future acquisitions, as well as potentially initiate a share repurchase program. This sale represents an important strategic move for 1847, one that validates our ability to purchase, operate and enhance the value of assets and then reach a sale, of which will significantly enhance our financial position, enabling us to reallocate resources strategically and capitalize on emerging opportunities within our portfolio and beyond, with a long-term focus on maximizing value for shareholders.”

    “While this sale marks a significant milestone, it’s just one aspect of our broader strategy aimed at optimizing asset allocation and enhancing overall shareholder returns. The proposed transaction highlights what we believe is the considerable undervaluation of the Company relative to the intrinsic value of our portfolio companies. The acquisition price underscores the inherent value and potential of 1847 Cabinets, as it is priced at a substantial premium compared to the current market valuation for the entire company,” concluded Mr. Roberts.

    First Quarter In The Bag: A Look At All The Milestones 1847 Holdings Hit So Far This Year

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2024 / When it comes to deal-making, capital raises and share buying, 1847 Holdings LLC(AMEX:EFSH) had a busy first quarter of 2024. The New York City publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company is making a name for itself, acquiring small businesses and then deploying resources to strengthen the enterprise and improve operations, with an eye toward spinning them out or growing them internally. All of 1847’s hard work is paying off, with the PE firm making a lot of moves that position it for growth this year and beyond.

    Take its moves to shore up capital during the first three months of the year, for starters. 1847 kicked off the quarter by securing a $750,000 credit facility for its Wolo Manufacturing Corp. unit, which makes vehicle horns and safety products for cars, trucks, industrial equipment and emergency vehicles. The money went to fulfill orders amid stronger-than-expected demand, strengthen Wolo’s liquidity and give it increased financial flexibility, said 1847 CEO Ellery Roberts. “With this enhanced credit capacity, combined with growing customer demand and easing of supply-chain pressure, Wolo has the potential to increase its sales by 50% to 70% year-over-year in 2024,” Roberts said. It’s already on the road to that. In the first two months of 2024, Wolo’s reporting revenue increased 40% year-over-year in both January and February. 1847 also secured a $1 million credit facility for its High Mountain Door & Trim Inc. (“High Mountain”) subsidiary, underscoring its focus on growing its portfolio companies.

    Then there’s the closing of its previously announced public offering of securities in late February, raising $5 million in gross proceeds. The public offering, handled by Spartan Capital Securities, gives 1847 more firepower to make buys and invest in its businesses.

    Reigning In Expenses, Debt

    Shoring up capital isn’t the only way 1847 improved operations during the first quarter. It’s also paying off debt and cutting expenses including by divesting 1847 Asien Inc. The unit provides a wide variety of appliance services. By letting go of that asset, 1847 Holdings said it reduces expenses by around $10.9 million a year and should positively impact margins. The divestment also reduces total liabilities by about $4.5 million. The PE firm was also able to pay off $1.95 million in debt, which Roberts said removes a potential equity overhang.

    1847 has also been active on the profit-booking front. It recently engaged Spartan Capital Securities, LLC., to pursue a potential spinoff of 1847 Cabinets Inc., a designer, manufacturer and installer of cabinets, doors and millwork for residential construction. 1847 aims to capitalize on the growth and outlook for the company by either a spin-off of 1847 Cabinets into a separate publicly traded company or a sale to a well-paying suitor. 1847 is hoping to replicate the success it had with 1847 Goedeker’s. In April 2019, 1847 paid $6.5 million for the online purveyor of appliances, furniture and home goods. By June of 2021 when it went public, the company was valued at roughly $60 million.

    Its ICU Eyewear Holdings Inc. subsidiary also grew during the quarter, recently adding two additional manufacturing partners in the Philippines and the U.S. ICU reports it was able to secure favorable rates and eliminate certain tariffs, which it said should “significantly” reduce its cost of goods. The move also reduces its reliance on production in China and enhances operations, which not only makes it more efficient but potentially a more attractive acquisition target, the company said.

    CEO Acquires Common Shares At $3.30

    CEO Roberts demonstrated his faith in 1847 by purchasing shares of the company’s stock in the first quarter. Roberts paid $3.30 per share to acquire 154,364 shares in early March, after acquiring 6,251 shares in late January for $1.353 a share. All told, Roberts owns 169,648 shares in the company he created. When insiders, namely CEOs, buy shares of their company it signals executives have confidence in the business and/or think the stock is undervalued. It’s something investors pay close attention to. If insiders were selling shares rather than purchasing them, it could be a red flag that something is amiss.

    It’s been a busy three months for 1847, and more moves are expected in the months to come. After all, the PE firm is paying down debt, shoring up capital and positioning its portfolio companies for potentially successful exits or to grow internally. What more can investors ask for?

    Unusual Machines Announces Insider Share Purchases

    ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or the “Company”), a drone and drone components manufacturer, today announced that key executives and directors have purchased additional shares of the company’s stock. Between May 20 and May 30, 2024, CEO Allan Evans, COO Drew Camden, board member Sanford Rich, and board member Cristina Colon collectively acquired more than 40,000 shares through open market purchases.

    This recent insider buying brings insider ownership (including its largest shareholder Red Cat Holdings, Inc.) to approximately 64% of the Company, underscoring the leadership team’s commitment to aligning their interests with those of the shareholders and reflecting their confidence in Unusual Machines’ strategic direction and growth potential.

    “Our recent insider purchases highlight our unwavering confidence in Unusual Machines’ trajectory,” stated Evans. “We are on a path to meaningful growth, driven by our recent IPO, strategic acquisitions, and expansion into the defense sector. This personal investment in the company is a clear signal of our belief in the value and future of Unusual Machines. We remain committed to driving shareholder value and are excited about the opportunities ahead.”

    Unusual Machines has been making strides since its IPO, including the successful acquisitions of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark from Red Cat Holdings. These acquisitions form the cornerstone of the Company’s operations, driving revenue through both e-commerce and B2B sales channels.

    In a recent letter to shareholders, Evans emphasized the Company’s strategic priorities, which include expanding Rotor Riot’s operations, progressing towards domestic production of NDAA-compliant products, and developing defense sector components. These initiatives are designed to capitalize on the growing demand for drone technology and establish Unusual Machines as a leading player in the industry.

    Unusual Machines Issues Letter to Shareholders

    CEO Allan Evans shares post-IPO achievements and provides insight into the Company’s strategic expansion into defense sector

    ORLANDO, Fla., May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or the “Company”), a drone and drone components manufacturer, today announced it filed its 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the first quarter of 2024 and provided the following letter to its shareholders from CEO Allan Evans.

    Dear Shareholders,

    We are excited to present our first shareholder letter following our recent IPO. This marks a milestone in our journey and we are incredibly grateful for your support and confidence in Unusual Machines. The IPO, financial results, and recent press releases have led to a significant number of questions from shareholders.  We would like to take this opportunity to provide more context and hopefully a deeper of our operations and what these represent for Unusual Machines’ future.

    Recent IPO and Acquisitions

    In our first quarter, we successfully completed our initial public offering (IPO) on the NYSE American, raising gross proceeds of $5 million. Simultaneously, we closed the acquisitions of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark from Red Cat Holdings. The costs associated with our public listing and these strategic acquisitions are detailed in our 10-Q filing. These one-time expenses impact our short-term financials and can make it challenging to discern the basic operations of the company from the financial statements alone.

    Cash Position

    We view managing our cash position and cash flow as the most important aspect of our business. During the first quarter, we incurred one-time expenses as we finalized our IPO and had costs related to the integration of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot. We will continue to streamline and closely manage our cash spend. We ended the quarter with approximately $3.2 million in cash, which we believe provides sufficient operating capacity to achieve our growth objectives as discussed below.

    Operational Overview

    Rotor Riot and Fat Shark form the underpinning of Unusual Machines operations. Historically, Rotor Riot has generated revenue through the sale of first-person view (FPV) drones and drone parts via its e-commerce platform. Fat Shark is the basis of our B2B sales, supplying products through the Rotor Riot store and to other retailers. For the 45 days post-acquisition in the first quarter, we generated approximately $619,000 in combined sales. While it is a limited operating period, we achieved over 30% gross margins combined, which we aim to sustain and improve as we scale.

    Importantly, the Rotor Riot e-commerce site has consistently grown 20-30% over the past few years. We intend to continue leveraging this platform as our primary consumer sales channel. Meanwhile, Fat Shark will be integrated with our other premium branded products like Hype Train Motors as we expand our customized B2B sales offerings.

    Expanding into the Defense Sector

    Historically, our operations have focused on producing and selling drone parts to enthusiasts through our e-commerce channel. Recognizing the growing importance of drones in combat, we have initiated a strategic initiative to begin developing NDAA-compliant drone components for the defense sector. The critical role drones have played in recent conflicts, such as in Ukraine and Israel, has heightened the U.S. Department of Defense’s demand for cost-effective drones and a reliable non-Chinese supply chain. We are confident that our expertise and partnerships Initiative will position us to start to win business and secure necessary Blue UAS certifications that will enable us to rapidly enter this emerging market.

    Corporate Changes

    Since our IPO, we have implemented several strategic corporate changes. We relocated our headquarters to Orlando to better align with our operations and reincorporated in Nevada to reduce costs. Additionally, we appointed a new auditor and worked with them to finalize our first quarter 10-Q filing with the SEC. These steps underscore our commitment to financial transparency and integrity as we grow.

    Looking Ahead

    Our priorities moving forward are clear:

    • Rotor Riot: As our primary revenue source, we will continue to invest in and expand Rotor Riot’s operations, driving both top-line growth and improved margins while finalizing the transition from Red Cat.    
    • NDAA-Compliant Production: We are progressing towards domestic production of drone components, with our first product, a flight controller, expected by the end of June. We expect this to be the first product that will get Blue UAS certification. This is a crucial step in accessing the U.S. B2B market.
    • Defense Components: Developing products for the defense sector is a focal point for growth. The current demand for drone technology also provides opportunities for non-dilutive financing.  This segment is cyclical due to the government fiscal year ending in September so it is our current primary business development focus through the second and third quarters.

    We are enthusiastic about the future of Unusual Machines. The acquisitions and our strategic shift towards the defense market present significant opportunities along with some uncertainty. Your support is invaluable, and we thank you for your trust and confidence in our vision.  We are a small company and appreciate your feedback. Please reach out with any questions or comments.

    Sincerely,
    Allan Evans
    CEO of Unusual Machines

    First Quarter Financial Results

    • Sales totaled approximately $0.6 million for the period since acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot of February 16, 2024 through March 31, 2024. We did not have any sales prior in the prior year or prior to the completion of the acquisitions.
    • Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately 33%. We did not have any sales or gross profit in the prior year.
    • Our loss from operations was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
    • Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter 2024 was approximately $1.1 million or $0.18 per share as compared to a net loss of approximately $0.6 million for the first quarter 2023 or $0.17 per share. The decrease primarily relates to additional expenses as it relates to the completion of our IPO and acquisitions and additional costs incurred related to the transition and integration of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot.
    • We had approximately $3.2 million of cash as of March 31, 2024 as compared to $0.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase in cash primarily relates to the closing of our IPO for gross proceeds of $5.0 million in February 2024 offset by our increase in net loss and cash used as consideration related to the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot.

    Unusual Machines Completes Acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot

    SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or the “Company”) announced today the closing of its acquisitions of Fat Shark Holdings, Ltd. (“Fat Shark”), a pioneer in the design and manufacture of ultra-low latency first-person-view (FPV) goggles, and Rotor Riot LLC (“Rotor Riot”), a curated e-commerce marketplace focused on serving drone enthusiasts.

    “With the acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, Unusual Machines is well positioned to serve the FPV drone market,” said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. “These strategic moves provide the basis from which we are able to focus on delivering great products to enthusiasts, drone builders, and FPV pilots.”

    The integration of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot into Unusual Machines is expected to bolster the Company’s market position, leveraging Fat Shark’s technical prowess in FPV goggles and Rotor Riot’s robust e-commerce platform and community engagement. Historical revenues for the two companies for the 12-months ended April 30, 2023, were $5.8 million, up 26.1% from $4.6 million in the 12-months ended April 30, 2022.

    Unusual Machines’ business is focused on expanding its customer base through superior products and rapid adoption. The Company is committed to investing in new products and intellectual property and aims to explore and pursue additional acquisitions that complement and enhance its current offerings, with an emphasis on expanding customer relationships and integrating third-party solutions.

    By targeting promising FPV drone companies, Unusual Machines aims to provide a domestic alternative to international players. “Our acquisitions of Fat Shark and Rotor Riot mark the beginning of an exciting journey toward leadership in the nascent domestic drone industry,” added Evans. “We are committed to unlocking the full potential of FPV technology and delivering superior experiences to our customers worldwide.”

    Unusual Machines Formalizes CEO’s Contract for Two Years Along with Other Corporate Updates

    ORLANDO, Fla., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or the “Company”), a drone and drone components manufacturer, today announced it had formalized its contract for Allan Evans to continue to serve as CEO following Unusual Machine’s Board of Directors unanimous approval for two years.

    The contract follows a rapid series of business developments since Dr. Evans became the CEO less than six months ago. Since his initial appointment, Unusual Machines successfully listed on the NYSE American, acquired Rotor Riot and Fat Shark from Red Cat Holdings, reincorporated in Nevada, and joined the Red Cat Futures Initiative as part of the Company’s expansion into the U.S. government segment of the market.

    “It’s been a whirlwind of energy and excitement as we work to grow as fast as we possibly can,” said Dr. Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. “Our team is fully bought-in to the mission, and we are well-positioned to drive growth with a focus on getting to cash flow positive. I believe in what we are doing, where we are going, and who we are doing it with.”

    The Company continues to show strong growth with its existing operations from the acquisitions of Rotor Riot and Fat Shark. Unusual Machines is developing drone components to be manufactured in compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with a focus on U.S.-based production. The Company expects to release a U.S.-made flight controller for FPV drones during the second quarter of 2024 that will be eligible, through the Company’s partners, for Blue UAS certification, a U.S. Department of Defense program certifying drones approved for government use.

    “Allan’s leadership has propelled us forward at an unprecedented pace,” added Andrew Camden, Chief Operating Officer of Unusual Machines. “His strategic foresight is transforming our operations, enabling us to tackle new markets and achieve ambitious goals with precision and confidence. It is exciting working with Allan. His dedication to innovation and excellence is driving our team to new heights of succes s in this burgeoning industry.”

    Brian Hoff, Chief Financial Officer of Unusual Machines, added, “The Company has gone through a tremendous amount of change in the last couple of months. Starting with Allan joining the Company, he made an immediate and positive impact through his leadership and fostering of a strong culture. He has a clear vision and path forward for the Company that positions us to fill a big need within the industry, and I look forward to partnering with him for years to come.”

    The Company changed its independent registered accounting firm to Salberg & Company, P.A. (“Salberg”), as previously announced in an 8-K filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024. Mr. Hoff added, “We are excited to have retained an experienced audit firm like Salberg as the Company moves forward. We have been working diligently to complete our quarterly review procedures and anticipate filing our required quarterly report with the SEC on time.”

    READ THE INVESTOR PRESENTATION HERE

    ___________________________

    Hello Everyone,

    We have a new profile that we want you to put back on your radar for Wednesday’s session.

    This is a company that we profiled a few weeks back when it was sitting at lower levels.

    As biotech stages a big comeback, NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) looks well-positioned to be a market disruptor with nontoxic, effective antiviral therapies based on patented nanomedicine technology.

    NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) is a global leader in the application of nanomedicine technologies to the safe and effective treatment of viruses and their variants INCLUDING drugs against Covid-19, RSV and other respiratory viruses!

    Even with a decline since 2022, COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people in the USA – the CDC website states 69,200 hospitalizations and 2,652 deaths since January 1, 2024; the worldwide market size for COVID-19 therapeutics is expected to exceed $16.2 Billion in 2031.

    NANOVIRICIDES are better because they destroy viruses and their variants without relying on the patient’s immune system, thereby making them effective for populations that include geriatric and pediatric patients.

    Antibodies only bind by two points to the virus, and destruction of the complex requires effective immune function, which is not the case in sick patients..

    Vaccines only train the body into producing antibodies against the virus in the vaccine. Antibodies and vaccines are easily overcome by viruses by mutating in the field, hence the need for annual influenza vaccine updates.

    NNVC is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company’s novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Our lead drug candidate is NV-CoV-2 for the treatment of COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Our other advanced candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles (previously referred to as NV-HHV-101). The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-CoV-2 into Phase I/II human clinical trials. NV-CoV-2 is our nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-CoV-2 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles. The Company believes that since remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently. The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides’ platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses and/or enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company’s technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

    A New Era in Targeted Anti-Viral Therapeutics

    NanoViricides rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 13, 2014. In the front center (left to right) are Meeta Vyas, Anil Diwan and Dr. Eugene Seymour.

    NanoViricides, Inc. is a globally leading company in the application of nanomedicine technologies to the complex issues of viral diseases. The nanoviricide® technology enables direct attacks at multiple points on a virus particle. It is believed that such attacks would lead to the virus particle becoming ineffective at infecting cells. Antibodies in contrast attack a virus particle at only a maximum of two attachment points per antibody. In addition, the nanoviricide technology also simultaneously enables attacking the rapid intracellular reproduction of the virus by incorporating one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) within the core of the nanoviricide. The nanoviricide technology is the only technology in the world, to the best of our knowledge, that is capable of both (a) attacking extracellular virus, thereby breaking the reinfection cycle, and simultaneously (b) disrupting intracellular production of the virus, thereby enabling complete control of a virus infection.

    Our anti-viral therapeutics, that we call “nanoviricides®” are designed to appear to the virus like the native host cell surface to which it binds. Since these binding sites for a given virus do not change despite mutations and other changes in the virus, we believe that our drugs will be broad-spectrum, i.e. effective against most if not all strains, types, or subtypes, of a given virus, provided the virus-binding portion of the nanoviricide is engineered appropriately. Viruses would not be able to escape the nanoviricide by viral mutations since they continue to bind to the same cellular receptor and thus would be captured by the nanoviricide. Virus escape by mutations is a major problem in the treatment of viral diseases using conventional drugs.

    Versatile Platform Technology

    A nanoviricide is created by chemically attaching a virus-binding ligand, derived from the binding site of the virus on its cell surface receptor, to a nanomicelle flexible polymer. This binding site does not change significantly when a virus mutates

    Tailor-made design and selection of (1) the virus-binding ligand; and (2) the backbone “nanomicelle”, separately, allows us to rapidly optimize drug candidates (a) against a number of viruses; (b) for desired pharmacokinetic characteristics (e.g. sustained effect); and (c) for different routes of administration. This versatility is unmatched in the Industry.

    Virus-specific nanoviricides have been created against important viruses such as HIV, Influenza and Bird Flu by choosing highly virus-specific ligands

    Broad-spectrum nanoviricides have been created that can bind to possibly as many as 90-95% of known viruses. The Company is developing broad-spectrum nanoviricides to combat several neglected tropical diseases, such as Dengue, Rabies, and Ebola/Marburg. This is similar to antibiotics such as penicillin against bacteria that exploit a feature common to all bacteria.

    A NanoViricide® Attacking a Virus Particle: Unique, Novel, Nanotech Design

    bindingimage

    A single nanoviricide micelle may be capable of completely engulfing a Virus Particle. Nanoviricide micelles self-assemble from multiple chains. A single chain micelle shown for convenience. Illustration not to scale.

    Each nanoviricide drug is designed as an antiviral agent specifically targeted for a particular type of virus or group of viruses. Most existing anti-viral agents are known to have non-specific effects against both host cells and viral machinery at the same time often leading to side effects. Most current anti-viral agents act inside human cells. It is believed that this intracellular mechanism leads to significant opportunities for unwanted side effects against host cells. Nanoviricides, on the other hand, are designed to work directly against virus particles in bodily fluids. The Company believes that this approach may make nanoviricides inherently safer than existing approaches.

    A nanoviricide is designed to seek and attach to a specific virus particle, engulfing the virus particle in the process, thereby rendering it incapable of infecting new cells, and disabling it completely. This suggested mechanism of action encompasses much more than what the current entry and fusion inhibitors are expected to do. The fusion and entry inhibitors do not completely cover the virus particle, likely blocking only a few sites on the virus particle. This means the virus particle may still be capable of infecting cells using its unblocked attachment sites. In contrast, a nanoviricide, because of its larger size and flexible nature, is expected to engulf the virus particle completely, thus disabling the virus particle. The action of a nanoviricide, if it works as designed, may be expected to be superior to antibody agents that attack viruses. Antibodies, being large, are expected to block relatively greater portions of the virus particle surface compared to small molecule entry inhibitors. However, antibodies depend upon the human immune system responses for clearing the virus particle. In contrast, nanoviricides are thought to be capable of acting as completely programmed chemical robots that finish their task of destroying the virus particle on their own.

    NV 387 IN CLINICAL TRIALS

    The drug, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated exceptional safety in clinical trials, even at the highest dose levels, with NO adverse events reported. The unique mechanism of action involves mimicking a cell membrane, encapsulating and blocking the virus.

    Beyond COVID-19, the drug also displayed promising results against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), offering a potential solution for infants and seniors where existing treatments like ribavirin may be contraindicated due to side effects.

    The clinical trials involved both oral tablets and oral gummies, catering to various age groups, including pediatrics. NV 387 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against multiple strains of coronaviruses, showcasing effectiveness 10 times greater than remdesivir in preclinical studies.

    The ongoing clinical trial progress and positive results position NanoViricides at the forefront of antiviral drug development, marking a significant milestone in their journey from preclinical research since 2005 to clinical trials.

    The company believes that NV-387 not only binds to the virus, but fuses with the virus surface, uprooting the glycoproteins that are required for the virus to bind to the human cell (for example, the S protein, and its products S1 and S2 proteins from coronaviruses), thereby rendering the virus incapable of infecting a cell. In contrast, antibodies are only capable of covering the virus, generally incompletely, and require immune system assistance for clearing the resulting complex!

    NV-387 ADDRESSES AN UNMET MEDICAL NEED FOR BROAD-SPECTRUM, SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ANTIVIRAL DRUG THAT WORKS AGAINST MULTIPLE VIRAL THREATS:

    There is a significant unmet medical need for a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is effective and useable in all segments of the population. There are substantial limitations for all currently approved COVID drugs in terms of both the eligibility of a COVID patient, and the effectiveness of the drug.

    NNVC believes that the excellent safety and the distinctly different mechanism of NV-CoV-2 (NV-387) support the use of this drug across all patient populations. This is an important characteristic for a COVID drug as well as for a drug to treat RSV infection.

    NV-387 ADDRESSES LARGE MARKET SIZES:

    Even with a decline since 2022, COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people in the USA – the CDC website states 69,200 hospitalizations and 2,652 deaths since January 1, 2024; the worldwide market size for COVID-19 therapeutics is expected to exceed $16.2 Billion in 2031*.

    *Source: Transparency Market Research

    The market size for RSV therapeutics was estimated to be $2 Billion in 2023 and is expected to rise to exceed $8.5 Billion by the year 2031**.

    **Source: Growth+ Market Reports.

    NANOVIRICIDES TECHNOLOGY WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY VIRUSES & THEIR VARIANTS ARE TREATED WORLDWIDE!

    NNVC’s novel approach has already enabled variant-proof drugs, blocking the complete viral life cycle without requiring help from the host’s defense systems! If both the viral re-infection cycle, and viral replication cycle arms of the viral lifecycle are blocked, a cure for many viral diseases is possible!!

    The Company’s virus-specific nanoviricides have been created against important viruses such as HIV, Influenza and Bird Flu by choosing highly virus-specific ligands.

    Broad-spectrum nanoviricides have been created that can bind to possibly as many as 90-95% of known viruses. The Company is also developing broad-spectrum nanoviricides to combat several neglected tropical diseases, such as Dengue, Rabies, and Ebola/Marburg.

    A Novel Broad-Spectrum Antiviral with Activity Against Smallpox/Mpox – NV-387 Possesses Strong Orthopoxvirus Activity Relevant to Both Sexual and Inhalation Modes of Transmission, Says NanoViricides

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT – Wednesday, May 8, 2024 — NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.: NNVC) (the “Company”), a global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, says that the ultra-broad antiviral activity spectrum of NV-387 includes activity against orthopoxvirus family (Smallpox/Mpox), with both inhalation and skin abrasion (sexual) modes of infection acquisition. Ectromelia virus infection of mice is a model for Smallpox infection in humans, and also serves as a surrogate for MPox infection in humans. All three viruses belong to the orthopoxvirus family.

    NanoViricides reports that in a lethal animal model of lung infection by Ectromelia virus, oral dosing with NV-387 led to an increase in lifespan of mice that was comparable to oral treatment with tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA), the approved drug against Smallpox.

    This lung infection study substantiates the results of the previously reported intradigital footpad infection study that: (i) NV-387 has comparable antiviral activity as tecovirimat, and
    (ii) NV-387 plus tecovirimat has much stronger antiviral activity than either drug alone.

    We have completed a lethality animal study wherein animals were infected with ectromelia virus into the lungs directly. In this study, we found that NV-387 alone treated animals survived 15 days, tecovirimat alone treated animals survived 16 days, and NV-387 plus tecovirimat treated animals survived 19 days, whereas vehicle-treated animals died in 8 days.

    This lung-infection study emulates infection from aerosolized dispersion of the virus, as may be expected in a bioterrorism scenario.

    Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Lung Infection with Ectromelia Virus

    Previously, on November 14, 2023, we have reported that in a lethal intradigital footpad infection of mice with ectromelia virus, oral NV-387 treatment led to lifespan improvement comparable to oral tecovirimat treatment, with both treatments resulting in 14 days survival, whereas vehicle treated animals died in 8 days. Moreover, combined treatment with both NV-387 and tecovirimat resulted in a significantly improved survival of 17 days in this study.

    Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Intradigital Footpad Infection with Ectromelia Virus

    This intradigital footpad infection study emulates the skin-to-skin transfer of the virus as in sexual transmission, such as that in the case of current Clade 1 MPox virus epidemic in the DR Congo; Clade 1 MPox is more deadly than the Clade 2 MPox; the latter had caused a small pandemic recently with sexual mode of transmission (https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/monkey-pox-new-strain , May 5, 2024).

    Tecovirimat is the drug approved for smallpox under “animal rule” and is stockpiled by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). It was mobilized from the stockpile during the recent MPox Clade 2 pandemic. BARDA is interested in development of additional poxvirus therapeutics as per a recent Broad-Agency Announcement (BAA). There is significant interest in the development of a smallpox therapeutic that works well by itself, as well as in combination with the known drug, tecovirimat. Tecovirimat has a low barrier of escape; a single mutation in one protein can enable the virus to escape this drug, adding to the significance of additional smallpox drug development.

    Therefore we believe that NV-387 is a viable clinical candidate to be developed by itself for the treatment of poxvirus infections under the US FDA “Animal Rule”. In addition, we believe that the combination of NV-387 and tecovirimat could reduce the potential for escape resistant generation against tecovirimat, as is known with other drug combination studies against viruses.

    A safe and effective antiviral drug that the virus would not escape by simple mutations or field evolution is the holy grail of antiviral drug development. We believe that the NanoViricides Platform technology meets this challenge.

    A Novel Broad-Spectrum Antiviral with Activity Against RSV -Complete Survival of Animals Lethally Infected into Lungs with RSV Achieved Upon NV-387 Oral Treatment

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT – Tuesday, May 14, 2024 — NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.: NNVC) (the “Company”), a global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, says that antiviral activity of NV-387 against RSV/A2 is strong enough to have resulted in full survival of lethally infected animals was achieved.

    In this study, extended dosing of NV-387 given orally was compared with a high dose of ribavirin given orally. Two doses were given on first day of dosing followed by one daily dose for next 9 days (total 11 doses). NV-387 given by this dosing regimen led to complete survival of the mice beyond the 21 days study period, with no signs of pathology apparent on the last day of observation. In contrast, ribavirin led to death of all animals by 14 days.

    Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Lung Infection with RSV A2

    Survival, DaysIncrease in
    Survival, %
    NV-387, Oral22+ (Complete)> 14> 175%Ribavirin, Oral14675%Vehicle800%

    Thus we believe NV-387 oral treatment is capable of curing RSV infection. There is currently no approved treatment for RSV other than ribavirin. A safe and effective treatment remains an unmet medical need.

    “This is an extremely significant result. To date, in our lethal infection animal models, we have not observed uniform survival with any of the treatments (including approved drugs) against most viruses including Influenza A, Smallpox/Mpox, and Coronaviruses,” said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, adding, “Our studies are designed to be so lethal that the survival lifetime itself can be used as the ranking parameter to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment. Complete survival is not expected in such studies, unless the drug is extremely effective.”

    Previously, in July 2023, we reported that NV-387 treatment led to survival in lethally RSV infected animals equal to that observed with ribavirin treatment. In this study, we extended the dosing regimens of both ribavirin and NV-387, to determine if that improves survival.

    Ribavirin is the only currently approved drug for RSV infection, that can be used only as a last resort because of its extensive toxicity that limits its effectiveness.

    RSV is an important disease in infants and children less than 5 years old, as well as in older persons over 65 years old. According to the CDC, each year in the United States, RSV leads to approximately:
    58,000-80,000 hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years old;
    60,000-160,000 hospitalizations among adults 65 years and older;
    6,000-10,000 deaths among adults 65 years and older; and
    100–300 deaths in children younger than 5 years old.

    Two vaccines have recently been approved for protection of persons 60+ years old from RSV infection (Arexvy®, GSK, and Abrysvo®, Pfizer). Abrysvo was recently approved for use in pregnant women for protection of infants. Synagis (palivizumab), an antibody, as well as a new antibody, nirsevimab (Beyfortus®) have been approved by the US FDA for protection of newborn children at risk of RSV disease, but not for treatment of RSV infection and disease.

    The Sustained, Slow Declining, Blood Concentration Profile of NV-387 Enables Infrequent Dosing for Strong Antiviral Effect -A First-In-Class, Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agent Intending To Revolutionize Treatment of Viral Infections Including RSV, COVID, Influenzas and More

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT – Tuesday, June 4, 2024 — NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.: NNVC) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, reports on the highly desirable blood concentration profile of its lead clinical stage broad-spectrum antiviral agent NV-387 upon intravenous (I.V.) administration in a nonhuman primate (NHP) animal model.
    The Company has found that its lead nanoviricide broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidateNV-387, when given as a slow bolus intravenous infusion, resulted in a relatively flat plateau ofblood concentration of the drug with very slow decline over a 24 hour period in a cynomolgusmonkey model.
    The maximum concentration as well as the plateau concentration increased in a dose-dependentmanner, as expected.
    This sustained drug level in the blood stream for a relatively long period of time enablesinfrequent dosing. It is the result of the unique polymeric design of NV-387. NV-387 is a”chemical nanomachine”. It is made up of polymer with its size chosen to minimize loss by renalfiltration.
    The observed pharmacokinetic profile of NV-387 supports a once-daily or less frequent dosingregimen.
    The Company has already developed an injectable formulation of NV-387, namely NV-387Solution for Injection, Infusion, and Inhalation.
    An injection of NV-387 would be useful for moderate to severe illness, especially because of thesustained blood profile that requires infrequent dosing.
    An infusion would be suitable for severely ill hospitalized patients.
    Importantly, this NV-387 Solution can be readily delivered directly into the lungs of a patientusing a simple handheld nebulizer over a period of a few minutes. Such delivery can enable directattack on the virus where such attack is most needed in the cases of severe lung infection.
    The utility of NV-387 is extremely broad, reminiscent of the utility of antibiotics.
    We have found that NV-387 could cure lethal lung infection in RSV infected animals even withan oral dose. There is no approved drug for RSV treatment other than the toxic, last resort drugribavirin, which was not very effective in this lethal study compared to NV-387.
    We have also found that NV-387 IV administration as well as PO (oral) administration wassubstantially superior to each of the approved drugs Tamiflu, Rapivab and Xofluza in anInfluenza A/H3N2 lethal lung infection model.
    We believe that NV-387 is expected to possess similar strong antiviral activity against InfluenzaA/H5N1 “Bird Flu” viruses as well. Our belief is based on the putative mechanism of NV-387.
    NV-387 is a host-mimetic, direct acting antiviral designed as decoy, to look like a cell decoratedwith sulfated proteoglycans, to which over 90% of human pathogenic viruses, including H5N1,are known to bind.
    We have found that NV-387 has strong antiviral activity against all tested coronaviruses,including SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirions. NV-387 was substantially more effective than remdesivirin a lethal coronavirus infection animal study. We believe that NV-387 has a strong potential forthe treatment of COVID as well as “Long COVID”.
    COVID continues to cause substantially more fatalities annually than Influenza viruses. LongCOVID has substantial personal as well as societal costs. Available drug, Paxlovid (Pfizer) hassignificant limitations for patient suitability. Thus a new drug against COVID and Long COVIDis sorely needed.

    Specializing in Direct Injection from Hong Kong & Southern China to Australia and New Zealand

    The company’s revenues nearly doubled from FY2021 to 2022 — from USD $13.3M to $24M — before dropping a bit to $18.6M in 2023

    _____________________________

    Hello Everyone,

    We have another new profile for Mondays session that we want you to research.

    This is a company that we have never profiled before on this newsletter.

    Pull up GVH Immediately.

    Globavend Holdings Limited is an emerging e-commerce logistics provider, that formulates and implements integrated, end-to-end, cross-border logistics solutions for their customers with the provision of air freight forwarding services and related logistics services as their principal business. Their business model principally involves the provision of (i) integrated cross-border logistics services, which include air freight forwarding services offered as an integral part thereof; and (ii) air freight forwarding services, offered as a modularized logistics service segmented from our integrated cross-border logistics services. Their logistics network covers Hong Kong and four cities in Australia, namely Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, as well as New Zealand.

    Their integrated cross-border logistics services is our dominant business segment, which involve order processing, parcel consolidation, cross-border transportation (primarily by way of air freight), and air freight forwarding, followed by ground transportation and delivery at destination cities, together with other value-added services. While traditional logistics services providers typically provide fragmented logistics services and require customers to coordinate with various service providers, they, as an integrated cross-border logistics services provider, carry out the coordination with different players in the logistics value chain, including warehousing, customs clearance, and air freight or ground transportation services. This has effectively reduced the lead time and hassle and greatly improved the efficiency in fulfilling service orders. As an integral part of our integrated cross-border logistic services, we have also developed our own proprietary all-in-one shipping solution, which was modified by us internally on a shipping software purchased by us in 2019.

    Their proprietary all-in-one shipping solution has been or can be connected to the internal sales or booking systems of customers, as well as the carrier management systems of the ground transportation carriers, to facilitate effective logistics management, the details of which are explained. Their services are provided primarily on a contract logistics basis, under which we provide our enterprise customers with customized integrated logistics services covering the entire delivery process.

    Their services start by enterprise customers making errinstructions in their own internal sales or booking systems, which integrate into their own proprietary all-in-one shipping solution. Upon receipt of booking instructions, their services start and cover from order origination to the final point of sale or delivery without further efforts or coordination from customers. This service is a customized one so as to fit a customer’s own business model, representing a seamless combination of order processing, parcel consolidation, transportation, and delivery. For customers engaging our services with agreed price quotations, we can provide one-off or on-demand integrated cross-border logistics services. Alternatively, customers can also request for our logistics services on a modularized or one-off basis, i.e., they can request for any segment of our logistics services within the integrated cross-border logistics solution on a stand-alone basis. As part of our integrated cross-border logistics services, they also provide related logistics services, which include the provision of supporting transportation for freight forwarding purpose, storage of consignment, labelling of consignments, other related logistic services for freight forwarding purpose, freight management services via our proprietary all-in-one shipping solution, and delivery at destination.

    They engage (i) air freight carriers for the provision of cargo spaces, (ii) supporting ground transportation companies for the ground transportation services in Australia and New Zealand, (iii) customs clearance companies in Australia and New Zealand for the preparation of freight documentation and arrangement for customs clearance, and (iv) local delivery service providers for dispatching and distributing our customers’ goods to their designated destination in Australia and New Zealand. Their integrated cross-border logistics services, together with their proprietary all-in-one shipping solution, enable them to provide efficient and customer-oriented services. This has resulted in their customers continuously engaging us for one-stop air freight forwarding services and comprehensive logistic services, allowing us to gradually build our customer base.

    This is a company that we have profiled in the past at much lower levels.

    Pull up MAIA and start your research on it immediately.

    MAIA Just made another 52 week high today.

    This one could be on the verge of a breakout here as it enters mid-$4 territory.

    MAIA has been on a Bull Run since before the New Year and with a strong partnership with Regeneron on the books there is no telling what the limit on MAIA could be.

    • Clinical supply agreement: Regeneron provides Libtayo® for THIO-101

    • Equivalent to $32M non-dilutive participation (largest financing move to date)

    • Potentially expand existing relationship and target new companies

    MAIA BIOTECHNOLOGY PROVIDES POSITIVE PHASE 2 CLINICAL UPDATES FOR LEAD ANTICANCER AGENT AND OUTLINES TARGETED MILESTONES FOR 2024

    January 17, 2024 9:00am EST

    • Lead candidate THIO maintains unprecedented disease control rates in Phase 2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinical trial
    • Multiple clinical milestones ahead for THIO-101 Phase 2 trial
    • Company enters 2024 with robust clinical pipeline in multiple hard-to-treat cancer indications

    CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, announced new interim data for its ongoing THIO-101 Phase 2 trial in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and outlined key clinical milestones for 2024.

    In the latest available data from THIO-101 (November 13, 2023), 60 patients had been dosed with THIO in sequential combination with Libtayo®. The patients received either 60mg, 180mg, or 360mg of THIO per dose, and 42 had at least one post baseline assessment completed. The observed disease control was well sustained compared to previous scans.

    “We are entering 2024 with strong momentum and great excitement about our programs and pipeline,” said Vlad Vitoc, M.D., MAIA’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “To date, preliminary Phase 2 data on THIO in NSCLC has demonstrated unprecedented rates of disease control and response — measures that vastly outperform the standard of care.”

    “In addition to NSCLC, our pipeline of immuno-oncology therapies includes THIO orphan drug designations for multiple hard-to-treat cancers, and our research includes THIO-like second-generation telomere-targeting agents. The main objective for the second-generation program is to discover new compounds with potentially improved specificity towards cancer cells relative to normal cells and with potentially increased anticancer activity,” Dr. Vitoc continued.

    “Multiple milestones are on target for 2024 as enrollment continues in THIO-101, including long-term efficacy as a major clinical inflection point.”

    Key 2023 Achievements

    Positive Preliminary Efficacy Data: Key findings from THIO-101 included:

    • 100% preliminary disease control rate (DCR) in second-line and 88% in third-line, in highly difficult-to-treat patients who already progressed through previous lines of treatment.
    • DCR across all dose levels met pre-determined statistical requirements earlier than expected to proceed to next stage of the trial.

    Third orphan drug designation (ODD) granted to THIO: MAIA’s portfolio of immuno-oncology therapies with ODDs now includes a third hard-to-treat cancer, glioblastoma, the most aggressive and most common type of brain cancer with only limited treatment options.

    U.S. FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) Clearance: The FDA cleared U.S.-based evaluation for THIO as part of THIO-101. The trial drew a strong pace of enrollment in 2023 compared with previous NSCLC trials by other drug developers.

    Dose Selection: A 180mg/cycle dose of THIO was selected for THIO-101 based on stronger efficacy compared to other doses. The selected dose showed unprecedented disease control and overall response rates for a NSCLC clinical trial.

    Next Generation Telomere Targeting Agents: MAIA’s second-generation telomere-targeting program is engaged in research and development for new prodrugs derived from lipid-modified THIO molecules. Capable of acting through similar mechanisms of activity as THIO, the higher potency of these compounds at lower dose levels will be investigated further in 2024.

    THIO is the only direct telomere targeting agent currently undergoing clinical development in the field of cancer drug discovery and treatment.

    About THIO

    THIO (6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine (THIO) induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. THIO-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment with THIO followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. THIO is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

    About THIO-101, a Phase 2 Clinical Trial

    THIO-101 is a multicenter, open-label, dose finding Phase 2 clinical trial. It is the first trial designed to evaluate THIO’s anti-tumor activity when followed by PD-(L)1 inhibition. The trial is testing the hypothesis that low doses of THIO administered prior to cemiplimab (Libtayo®) will enhance and prolong immune response in patients with advanced NSCLC who previously did not respond or developed resistance and progressed after first-line treatment regimen containing another checkpoint inhibitor. The trial design has two primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of THIO administered as an anticancer compound and a priming immune activator (2) to assess the clinical efficacy of THIO using Overall Response Rate (ORR) as the primary clinical endpoint. Treatment with cemiplimab (Libtayo®) followed by THIO has been generally well-tolerated to date in a heavily pre-treated population. For more information on this Phase II trial, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05208944.

    FDA GRANTS ORPHAN DRUG DESIGNATION TO MAIA BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THIO AS A TREATMENT FOR GLIOBLASTOMA

    • Third orphan drug designation (ODD) granted to THIO by the FDA; drug also holds ODDs for hepatocellular carcinoma and small cell lung cancer
    • Benefits include 7 years of U.S. market exclusivity after drug approval and tax credits for qualified clinical testing
    • Expected glioblastoma market growth from $2.2 billion to $3.2 billion globally in the next three years

    CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing telomere-targeting immunotherapies for cancer, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted orphan drug designation to its lead asset THIO, a cancer telomere-targeting agent, for the treatment of glioblastoma. This is the third orphan drug designation granted to THIO, following the receipt of orphan drug designations for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in 2022.

    “We are pleased to receive a third orphan drug designation for THIO, further highlighting FDA’s recognition of THIO’s potential in the treatment of multiple cancer indications, including rare ones such as glioblastoma,” said Vlad Vitoc, M.D., MAIA’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Each year, globally, more than 300,000 people are diagnosed with brain tumors, of which, 25,000 are in the United States. Glioblastoma represents the majority of these cases in the U.S., with 15,000 new patients diagnosed and more than 10,000 deaths yearly, making it an orphan indication. Given this prevalence there is significant room for growth in the $2.2 billion glioblastoma market, which is expected to reach $3.2 billion globally in the next three years.1 We consider this ODD an important milestone for our development strategy and for glioblastoma patients who could benefit from a potentially revolutionary therapy.”

    “In the data presented to the FDA, THIO successfully penetrated the blood brain barrier (BBB) in syngeneic and humanized mouse models of telomerase-expressing brain cancers. Treatment with THIO resulted in potent anticancer activity and significant expansion of the animal lifespan for several difficult to treat cell lines and xenograft mouse models,” added Sergei Gryaznov, Ph.D., MAIA’s Chief Scientific Officer. “These results stem from THIO’s remarkable mechanism of action and its BBB penetrating property that allows for direct targeting of brain tumors in vivo and potentially in glioblastoma patients.”

    “Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and most common type of cancer that originates in the brain. With very limited treatment options available, glioblastoma patients have exceptionally short survival durations, and only 7% remain alive five years after being diagnosed with the condition,”2 said Mihail Obrocea, MD, MAIA’s Chief Medical Officer. “We are optimistic about our telomere-targeting agent’s ability to provide clinical benefit in patients with glioblastoma, and we look forward to studying THIO for the treatment of this highly unmet medical indication in a future trial.”

    Enrollment is ongoing in a Phase 2 trial of THIO, THIO-101, evaluating the drug candidate in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). THIO is the only direct telomere targeting agent currently in clinical development.

    About Orphan Drug Designation

    The FDA’s Orphan Drug Act of 1983 was designed to incentivize the development of therapies that demonstrate promise for the treatment of rare (orphan) diseases or conditions. A disease is classified as “rare” if it affects fewer than 200,000 people total in the U.S., or if the cost of developing a drug and making it available in the U.S. for such diseases will exceed any potential profits from its sale due to the small target population size. The FDA’s ODD program provides multiple incentives to make orphan drug development more financially possible for companies to pursue, such as up to seven years of market exclusivity for the approved orphan drug, up to 20 years of 25% federal tax credit for expenses incurred in conducting clinical research within the U.S. and waiver of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) fees for orphan drugs, a value of approximately $2.9 million in 2021.

    MAIA BIOTECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES STRONG EFFICACY OF THIO AS THIRD-LINE TREATMENT FOR NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER PATIENTS

    March 06, 2024 8:48am EST Download as PDF

    • Combination THIO 180mg + cemiplimab achieved 38% overall response rate (ORR) in difficult-to-treat, third-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
    • ORR of 38% significantly exceeds standard of care ORR in NSCLC third-line in patients without a targetable mutation who progressed on checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy

    CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– MAIA Biotechnology, Inc., (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced positive efficacy data for third-line treatment in its Phase 2 THIO-101 clinical trial evaluating THIO sequenced with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) cemiplimab (Libtayo®) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

    As of January 8, 2024, overall response rate (ORR), characterized as partial or complete response to therapy, was 38% (3 out of 8 patients) in the efficacy evaluable population for combination THIO 180mg + cemiplimab in third-line treatment for NSCLC patients who failed treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in prior lines of therapy, with or without chemotherapy.

    “As an impressive measure of efficacy, the strong response rate of 38% in third-line treatment supports our premise that THIO administration prior to cemiplimab can improve tumor responses to immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients resistant to CPIs and other standard treatments,” said Vlad Vitoc, M.D., MAIA’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Around 60-70% of NSCLC patients do not have a targetable mutation and cannot benefit from a biomarker-targeted therapy, making it the greatest unmet medical need population in lung cancer. In currently available treatments for these patients in third-line, response rates range around 6%.1 We are encouraged by the excellent efficacy findings in THIO-101 to date, adding impressive ORR to unprecented disease control rates (DCR), and further demonstrating the potential of our first-in-class treatment to redefine the standard of care for NSCLC patients.”

    The efficacy evaluable population defined in the THIO-101 protocol considers all subjects who received at least one dose of THIO treatment and have at least one postbaseline tumor assessment (scans). Two third-line patients in the 180mg dose cohort did not have recorded scans at the data cutoff. Safety remained consistent with previous reports.

    The Company recently announced early completion of enrollment in the THIO-101 trial. THIO-101 is expected to be the first completed clinical study of a telomere-targeting agent in the field of cancer drug discovery and treatment.

    Hello Everyone,

    We have another company on our radar for Wednesdays session that has several catalysts that you are going to want to research.

    Pull up INDP right away.

    This one has under 6 million shares in the float.

    Indaptus Therapeutics has evolved from more than a century of immunotherapy advances. The Company’s novel approach is based on the hypothesis that efficient activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells and pathways and associated anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses will require a multi-targeted package of immune system-activating signals that can be administered safely intravenously (i.v.). Indaptus’ patented technology is composed of single strains of attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria producing a multiple Toll-like receptor (TLR), Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) and Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist Decoy platform.  The product candidates are designed to have reduced i.v. toxicity, but largely uncompromised ability to prime or activate many of the cells and pathways of innate and adaptive immunity. Decoy product candidates represent an antigen-agnostic technology that have produced single-agent activity against metastatic pancreatic and orthotopic colorectal carcinomas, single agent eradication of established antigen-expressing breast carcinoma, as well as combination-mediated eradication of established hepatocellular carcinomas and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in standard pre-clinical models, including syngeneic mouse tumors and human tumor xenografts.  In pre-clinical studies tumor eradication was observed with Decoy product candidates in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint therapy, low-dose chemotherapy, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or an approved, targeted antibody. Combination-based tumor eradication in pre-clinical models produced innate and adaptive immunological memory, involved activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells, and was associated with induction of innate and adaptive immune pathways in tumors after only one i.v. dose of Decoy product, with associated “cold” to “hot” tumor inflammation signature transition. IND-enabling, nonclinical toxicology studies demonstrated i.v. administration without sustained induction of hallmark biomarkers of cytokine release syndromes, possibly due to passive targeting to liver, spleen, and tumor, followed by rapid elimination of the product. Indaptus’ Decoy product candidates have also produced significant single agent activity against chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in pre-clinical models.

    Over the past 12 months we haven’t seen any insider selling. We did see one substantial Insider purchase over over 100K shares at 2.34, which are at moderately higher levels than it is currently sitting.

    Indaptus Therapeutics Presents Positive Mechanism of Action Data at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting

    Results Indicate Decoy Platform Broadly Boosts Immune System’s Ability to Fight Tumors Directly and Indirectly

    NEW YORK, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc, (Nasdaq: INDP), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering innovative cancer and viral infection treatments, was proud to unveil its poster at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) in San Diego on Wednesday, April 10 th . The poster details mechanism of action data that demonstrates the Company’s Decoy platform successfully induces, matures or activates multiple immune cell types involved in anti-tumor responses.

    The latest findings significantly enhance the Company’s understanding of its “Decoy” platform technology, which uses killed, non-pathogenic bacteria engineered to activate the immune system to attack tumors. The study highlights the platform’s effectiveness in engaging key innate and adaptive immune cells, including, natural killer cells, natural killer T cells, dendritic cells, CD4 , and CD8 T cells. In some settings, the platform also produced additive or synergistic activity in combination with IL-2, an approved cancer drug. Additionally, the data reveal that the Decoy platform may not only boost the immune system’s ability to recognize and kill tumor cells, but potentially also overcome a mechanism that suppresses the immune response. The results suggest that the Company’s Decoy bacteria can both directly and indirectly prime the immune system to more effectively fight cancer.

    Dr. Michael Newman, Indaptus’ Founder, Chief Scientific Officer, and lead author, commented, “The new data are consistent with our preclinical animal tumor model studies and provide evidence for our hypothesis that patented Decoy bacteria can activate a wide range of innate and adaptive human immune cells involved in fighting tumors. This aligns with what we’ve observed in our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 – broad immune activation, as evidenced by transiently increased levels of many key cytokines and chemokines following single dose administration. These findings bolster our confidence in Decoy20’s potential as a multifaceted immunotherapy.”

    The Company recently initiated the multi-dose cohort of its Phase 1 clinical trial in solid tumors.

    Jeffrey Meckler, Indaptus’ Chief Executive Officer, added, “We are encouraged by the promising results observed in our preclinical studies and our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial. The recognition and validation from prestigious organizations such as the AACR, coupled with the support and insights we are receiving from medical experts, partners and investors at the conference, inspire us to continue advancing our technology and demonstrating its significant therapeutic potential for the treatment of solid tumors.”

    SCIENCE & PIPELINE

    Novel Insights. Novel Therapies.

    Historically, we know that tumor regression has been observed in the presence of bacterial infection. We also know that bacteria contain immune system danger signals, called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), that collectively can activate all of the cellular components of our innate and adaptive immune pathways. PAMPs are recognized by receptors, such as Toll-like (TLR), NOD, STING and RIG-I, that are found on and involved in activation of many different innate and adaptive immune cells.

    Our platform is based on the hypothesis that highly efficient anti-tumor immunotherapy will require safe activation of both innate and adaptive cellular immunity in both tumors and immune organs, and that this might be achieved with a multi-targeted package of bacterial PAMPs, in the form of attenuated and killed, intact but non-pathogenic bacteria delivered intravenously. While current therapies are increasingly becoming more and more personalized and costly, we are advancing an approach designed to be widely accessible, with broad anti-tumor and anti-viral activity not dependent on the targeting of specific tumor or viral antigens.

    Current Approaches

    Current Approach

    Current immunotherapies only cure a very small percentage of advanced cancer patients because they activate only one or a few innate or adaptive immune cell types.

    The Indaptus Approach

    Indaptus Approach

    Goal: to safely and effectively activate both innate and adaptive cellular anti-tumor pathways by passively targeting both the tumor and  immune organs.

    Unique Approach

    Previous research has shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin that binds to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), is a key bacterial PAMP that activates the immune system. Activated TLR4 has been shown to play a role in dendritic cell activation and T-cell-mediated anti-tumor immune responses. Our novel insights have enabled us to create attenuated and killed, non-pathogenic gram-negative bacteria with unique levels of LPS – levels that have now been shown in pre-clinical studies to be sufficient to synergize with other PAMPs in the bacteria to safely prime and/or activate innate and adaptive immune pathways. We currently have a broad patent portfolio with 34 issued or granted patents that are based on the technology originally developed by our Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Michael Newman, at Indaptus’ predecessor company, Decoy Biosystems.

    Based on our successes to date, we are now building a pipeline of therapeutic candidates designed to be delivered intravenously, targeting cancers and infectious diseases with high unmet medical needs.

    Results to Date

    We are currently advancing our lead candidate, Decoy20, through Phase 1 clinical trial. To date, Decoy20 and/or related candidates have demonstrated broad anti-tumor and anti-viral activity in pre-clinical models, including high percentage complete and durable anti-tumor responses in combination with different classes of existing therapeutics.

    • In oncology, Decoy candidates have demonstrated the ability to eradicate established tumors in a murine model of hepatocellular carcinoma in combination with either a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or an anti-PD-1 agent, and more efficiently with both. Tumor eradication has occurred with a wide therapeutic index and has led to induction of 100% immunological memory. In combination with low-dose chemotherapy, Decoy candidates have also produced highly efficient eradication of established tumors in a mouse model of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), also with induction of immunological memory. Combination-mediated tumor eradication has also been observed with a human tumor xenograft NHL model with inclusion of a targeted antibody. Decoy candidates have also produced significant single agent activity in murine models of both metastatic pancreatic carcinoma and orthotopic, colorectal carcinoma.
    • In infectious disease, single agent Decoy therapeutics have produced significantly broader activity than standard of care treatment in a pre-clinical model of chronic Hepatitis B infection, as well as single agent activity against chronic HIV infection in a pre-clinical humanized mouse model.

    Generation and/or activation of the cells required for innate and adaptive anti-tumor and anti-viral immune responses takes place, to a significant extent, outside of the tumor or sites of infection, including in the spleen. Our intravenous therapeutic candidates are expected to passively target the liver, spleen, and leaky vasculature of tumors, producing immune activation in an immune organ, as well as a common site for primary and metastatic cancer and HBV infection, the liver. As our therapeutic candidates are expected to be cleared very quickly by the liver and spleen, we anticipate a low risk of non-specific autoimmune side effects relative to other types of immunotherapies designed for continuous exposure.

    We have initiated our Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20 in December 2022 and dosed our first patient in March 2023.

    Indaptus Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

    Company to present poster at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting on June 1, 2024 highlighting initial results from its Phase 1 clinical trial of Decoy20

    NEW YORK, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDP) (“Indaptus” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering innovative cancer and viral infection treatments, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and provided a corporate update.

    Jeffrey Meckler, Chief Executive Officer of Indaptus, commented, “We continue to make steady progress in our clinical development plans and are receiving regular validation for results reported to date, both through a presentation in April at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, and the acceptance of further data to be presented in a poster at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, which is considered among the top annual oncology conferences. We are encouraged by the results we have reported, along with the early results we are seeing as we advance our trial, and believe they are indicative of the potential for Decoy20, and indeed our platform as a whole. We look forward to reporting more about our progress as it develops.”

    Key recent highlights:

    • Presenting poster, titled, “Preliminary results of a phase 1 study of Decoy20, an intravenous, killed, multiple immune receptor agonist bacterial product in patients with advanced solid tumors,” at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting on upcoming presentation in Chicago.
    • Presented poster outlining mechanism of action of Decoy platform at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in April 2024.
    • Reported preliminary positive results from second cohort of Phase 1 trial and initiated multi-dose cohort in March 2024.
    • Announced granting of key patent that helped to further expand intellectual property portfolio in January 2024.

    Financial Highlights for First Quarter ended March 31, 2024

    Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, were $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 15%, compared with $1.9 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the manufacturing processes of Decoy20 that were conducted in the three months period ended March 31, 2023.

    General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, were $2.4 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 9%, compared with $2.6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased legal fees, recruitment costs and directors’ and officers’ insurance expenses, and was offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses and investor relations expenses.

    Loss per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $0.45, compared with $0.51 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

    As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will support its ongoing operating activities through the third quarter of 2024. This cash runway guidance is based on the Company’s current operational plans and excludes any additional funding and any business development activities that may be undertaken. Indaptus continues to assess all financing options that would support its corporate strategy.

    Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $4.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The $1.0 million decrease in net cash used was primarily attributable to a decrease in our research and development and general and administrative expenses and was also attributable to a settlement fee that was paid in February 2023.

    There was no net cash provided by or used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was related to the maturity of $9.0 million in marketable securities, offset by net investment of approximately $6.9 million in marketable securities.

    Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $0.3 million, which was provided by issuance and sale of our common stock under the At The Market Offering Agreement. There was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

    Indaptus Therapeutics’ Decoy20 Demonstrated a Broad Immune Response of More than Fifty Cytokines and Chemokines in Patients Following a Single Dose in First Cohort of Ongoing Phase 1 Study

    PUBLISHED

    NOV 6, 2023 8:00AM EST

    Poster presented at 38th Annual Meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Showed Favorable Safety Profile and Achievement of Stable Disease in All Four Patients in First Cohort.

    NEW YORK, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc.(Nasdaq: INDP), a clinical biopharma company that utilizes a proprietary killed, non-pathogenic bacteria-based platform to generate a stabilized package of immune agonists to activate both innate (immediate) and adaptive (learned) cellular immune pathways, announces interim data from the first cohort of four patients in the Phase 1 INDP-D101 trial of its lead compound, Decoy20. A broad expression of cytokines and chemokines associated with innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses was observed, while adverse events were generally tolerable and resolved within 30 minutes to three days. Decoy20 is designed to “re-set” the immune system’s response to cancer. The poster was presented on November 4, 2023, at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer in San Diego.

    “We are impressed that we saw short-term induction of more than 50 cytokines, chemokines and biomarkers and believe this is unprecedented with a single agent. These early data support our long-standing hypothesis that the Decoy platform may induce robust immune responses across multiple types of immune cells that we believe are important for the eradication of solid tumors,” commented Indaptus CEO Jeffrey Meckler.

    “The relatively brief duration of exposure to Decoy20 supports our hypothesis of utilizing a “pulse-prime” approach, providing a short period of activation to avoid unwanted toxicities that may occur from prolonged immune activation,” commented Michael Newman, Ph.D., Indaptus Founder and Chief Scientific Officer.

    As reported in the poster, trial subjects experienced transient induction of over 50 different biomarkers associated with immune responses, and generally anticipated transient adverse events.After the end of infusion, Decoy20 was cleared from the blood within 30 to 120 minutes. This rapid clearance and associated transient cytokine/chemokine induction are desired to avoid prolonged toxicity, often associated with longer term cytokine exposure. In contrast, therapeutics that are designed to be continuously present over weeks, months, or even years, such as CAR-T, can induce this type of toxicity. Peak cytokine and chemokine induction occurred within ~4 to 24 hours and most returned to baseline by 24-48 hours. Lymphocyte cell populations were transiently reduced in the blood and then rebounded, suggesting that these critical immune cells were redistributing from the circulation to lymph nodes, immune organs or sites of tumor. This supports the hypothesis of an “immune resetting” proposed mechanism of action.

    In addition, each of the subjects was observed to have stable disease four weeks after a single dose, with three of them having started the trial with progressive disease.

    “We look forward to continuing the trial with the current cohort having a lower dose, given the broad potential immune activation we have observed,” added Roger Waltzman, M.D., Indaptus’ Chief Medical Officer. “We anticipate that in the next stage of the trial we will assess the effect of weekly dosing (as opposed to the single dose in these first two cohorts), while analyzing a host of biomarkers, immune and tumor cells in peripheral blood, and immune cell populations in the tumor microenvironment, coupled with standard radiographic measurements.”

    The poster was titled, “Preliminary results of an in progress, first-in-human Phase 1 study of Decoy20, an intravenous, killed, multiple immune receptor agonist bacterial product in patients with advanced solid tumors.” First cohort patients received a single dose of 7×107 killed Decoy20 bacteria via a one-hour IV infusion.

    We have had some explosive profiles over the past few weeks.

    You should remember this next one.

    We profiled it before a few months back where it saw an average of trade of 1.50 on the session.

    Exactly 2 weeks later it hit 1.89 for a 26% move. I hope that you were watching it.

    Put GRYP back on your radar Immediately.

    Gryphon Digital Mining is a public Bitcoin miner that recently has been listed on the NASDAQ exchange and has established itself as a leader in sustainability and efficiency. Led by Rob Chang, the management team leverages its many years in the public Bitcoin miner space and utilizes an asset-light Business model to compete in this highly competitive industry.

    Gryphon Digital Mining has grown significantly in the past three years by adding sustainable hashing power to its operations through strategic partnerships and ASIC fleet upgrades. The company has recently been listed on the NASDAQ exchange through a reverse merger with the public company Akerna.

    Gryphon Digital attempted to execute a reverse merger in 2021 with Sphere 3D, a public net carbon-neutral cryptocurrency miner, but they both mutually agreed to not proceed with the merger. Gryphon Digital decided to enter a master services agreement to manage all of Sphere 3D’s blockchain operations for a five year period at a 22.5% gross profit royalty. Although the agreement is through August 2026, Sphere 3D has moved to terminate this arrangement. Gryphon believes that the agreement will continue on despite the litigation and forecasts over $6 million in 2024E revenue from the partnership.

    Bitcoin mining involves specialized computers (ASICs) verifying transactions and solving complex mathematical problems to add blocks to the blockchain. Miners compete through computing power to solve these problems, with the first successful miner adding the block and receiving new bitcoins and transaction fees as a reward. The process ensures network security and decentralization, with difficulty adjusting based on how many miners are in the network to maintain a consistent block time. Bitcoin miners are all preparing for the upcoming Bitcoin supply halving which occurs every ~4 years and cuts the rewards given to miners in each block by half. This halving is expected to occur in April 2024, and miners that are operating with inefficient and obsolete fleets will not be able to survive. Historically, inefficient miners have been forced to stop operating because the cost to mine a Bitcoin doubles immediately once the halving occurs since the rewards are halved; so, miners must have a strategic plan to mitigate this. The Bitcoin mining space has already seen some consolidation in the market and many public players like Cleanspark and Marathon are shopping around for smaller companies to acquire for additional cost synergies and computing power. Gryphon Digital Mining is well-positioned to outperform less efficient public miners going into the Bitcoin halving this year and can now utilize the public capital markets for its M&A strategy and rely on its seasoned leadership team that has managed through multiple Bitcoin cycles in the past to execute sustainable growth. Additionally, the asset-light model that Gryphon Digital utilizes will enhance its flexibility and enable the company to respond to new developments in the digital asset ecosystem unlike other larger miners in the space.

    Bitcoin’s code enforces a cap of 21 million coins, with 93.5% already in circulation and the remaining 1 million to be gradually distributed over the upcoming century. The mining reward halves every four years, resulting in a diminishing rate of new Bitcoin creation, making it a deflationary asset. Like in previous cycles, the price of Bitcoin has begun to see material gains in the winter period approaching the next halving; miners demand higher prices for the asset since the rewards get halved. After Bitcoin reaches the previous cycle’s all-time-high, price discovery will be unleashed again and the lucrative summer period will start.

    Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

    LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc.(Nasdaq:GRYP) (“Gryphon” or the “Company”), a bitcoin mining company that is independently certified to be 100% renewable and pursuing a negative carbon strategy, today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

    Rob Chang, CEO of Gryphon, commented, “2023 and the year to date has been a transformational period for Gryphon, culminating in our Nasdaq listing in February. Our positive net cash flow in 2023 and Breakeven Cost (as defined below) per Bitcoin of approximately $18,200 demonstrate our industry leading operational efficiency. Our current self-mining hashrate stands at 0.9 exahash, and we have ambitious plans to expand. Our aim is to quickly reach 10 exahash, propelling us from a smaller player to a significant industry presence – all the while leading the way in financial sustainability and efficiency.”

    Mr. Chang added, “Gryphon’s management team, featuring former c-suite executives from industry giants Marathon and Riot, brings industry leading experience and a proven track record of success. With such pedigreed experience, we think we are well-equipped to achieve our goals and establish ourselves as a premier player in the market. In sum, with our strong foundation, operational efficiency, and strategic expansion plans, Gryphon believes it is well-positioned to navigate the challenges of the post-halving landscape, achieve a position as an industry leader, and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

    Financial Highlights of Fiscal Year 2023

    • Total mining revenue for 2023 of $21.1 million, compared to the prior year $21.4 millionin 2022.
    • Breakeven Cost[1] per Bitcoin in 2023 was $18,217, compared to $14,964 in 2022. The company is focused on Breakeven Costs, which we believe is the best measure of what it costs to mine bitcoin on an operating basis. Some of our peers only focus on electricity costs and leave out the other costs to mine. We believe that a focus on the Breakeven Costs to produce a bitcoin at the mine level has the potential to offer the transparency needed to compare operations on an apples-to-apples basis.
    • The Company recognized a net loss for the year of ($28.6) million, which includes non-cash expenses of $36.5 million. Non-cash expenses mainly consisted of depreciation, non-cash machine impairment and the non-cash notional valuation of the company’s BTC loan. This compares to net income in 2022 of $3.5 million, which was also subject to non-cash expenses, and benefited from $24.5 million in non-cash gains due to a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of debt and the non-cash notional valuation of the company’s BTC loan.
    • Adjusted EBITDA[2] was $4.8 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year.

    [1] The Company defines Breakeven Cost per Bitcoin as (a) Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation) divided by (b) total bitcoin generated and received from the hashrate contributed to the mining pool operator. The Company mined approximately 739 and 815 Bitcoin, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.[2] The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense, (3) income tax expense (benefit) and (4) adjustments for non-cash and non-recurring items which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) impairments of miners pursuant to ASC 360, (iii) impairments of digital currency pursuant to ASC 350 (iv) realized gain from use of digital assets as it relates to the bitcoin denominated note payable and (v) gain/loss on debt extinguishment.

    Balance Sheet Highlights as of December 31, 2023

    Assets

    • Cash and cash equivalents: $915,000
    • Bitcoin: 67.2
    • Total current assets: $5.4 million
    • Total mining assets (including deposits & intangible assets): $13.4 million
    • Total assets: $18.8 million

    Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

    • Current liabilities: $19.4 million
    • Total liabilities: $19.4 million

    As of February 29, 2024, the Company had cash holdings of $1.4 million, Bitcoin holdings of approximately 60.4 Bitcoin with a fair market value of $3.7 million and 330.3 Bitcoin of Bitcoin denominated debt.

    2024 Outlook

    Based on an average price of Bitcoin of $70,000 and an average network hashrate of 550 exahash for 2024, we are currently projecting gross profit of approximately $16.6 millionfrom mining operations. We have posted a gross profit sensitivity analysis in our investor presentation, which can be found on slide 14 of our investor deck on our company website.

    Sphere 3D Litigation

    On March 25, 2024, Gryphon filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking permission to file a motion for prejudgment attachment, seeking to secure $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific’s bankruptcy exit. We want to ensure that the funds are available to satisfy any judgment we may receive due to Sphere’s breach of contract, where it entered into at least four hosting agreements with other providers, violating the exclusivity clause of its agreement with Gryphon. We are seeking damages amounting to at least $30 million. Over the last four months, Sphere has revealed its growing financial troubles. On November 28, 2023, in a filing in the Core Bankruptcy Action, Sphere’s counsel acknowledged that the company was operating with a $200 million net loss and that recent losses had overtaken revenue by a two-to-one margin. Sphere’s stated rationale for terminating the contract – that a malicious actor had diverted bitcoin transfers from Sphere to a third party – was not only unfounded, but was, in fact, evidence of gross negligence on the part of Sphere that allowed activities from malicious actors where Gryphon became the victim. Gryphon engaged an independent third-party security firm who confirmed that Gryphon’s systems were not compromised.

    ___________________________

    Hello Everyone,

    Todays profile closed up near the high of the day after making a strong double digit move.

    We have another company that we want you to look at for tomorrow’s session.

    This one has been on the move over the past week or so since the company started to release several different news announcements.

    Pull up SYTA immediately.

    Siyata Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: SYTA) is a leading global developer and provider of Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (“PTT/PoC”) systems for enterprise customers. The company specializes in connected vehicle products for professional fleets and markets its products under the Uniden® Cellular brand.

    Since its inception in 2012, Siyata has amassed a customer base that includes cellular operators, commercial vehicle technology distributors, and fleets of all sizes in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Australia and the Middle East.

    Recognized by the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange in 2018 as a Venture Top 50 Company, Siyata aims to deliver the highest quality and most technologically advanced mobile communication devices for global corporate workforces, fleets, homes and buildings.

    The company has long been an industry pioneer, delivering the world’s first 3G connected vehicle device as well as the world’s first 4G/LTE vehicle-mounted smartphone for First Responders and commercial fleets and vehicles, thereby creating a new category in the cellular device market with a dedicated smartphone tailor-made for the commercial vehicle market.

    Siyata’s suite of technology includes numerous PTT and legacy devices, as well as cellular boosters designed to improve cellular signals in corporate warehouses, government embassies, retirement home campuses, banks and manufacturing plants.

    The company’s flagship product, the Uniden UV350, is the world’s first vehicle-mounted 4G/LTE smartphone with crystal clear quality, carrier grade PTT, voice, text, video and data applications built into a single device. Specifically designed for First Responder and commercial fleet vehicles, the UV350 runs on cellular LTE networks that provide nationwide and global coverage, replacing traditional single purpose two-way radios that require a monthly fee and limited network coverage.

    The Uniden UV350 is currently available through Bell Mobility, Canada’s largest LTE network and PTT community, as well as AT&T in the U.S. Further expanding its availability, Siyata is completing network approval with another U.S. Tier 1 operator to launch the UV350 in Q3 2019.

    Despite Siyata’s small size, no other competitor offers as comprehensive of a portfolio of products. Siyata Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq: SYTA) provides disruptive solutions aimed at the Push-to-talk-over-Cellular (PoC) industry, with three complementary product categories targeted to the same core channels and customers. Large global telecommunications customers provide potential rapid entry into a $50 billion North American market.

    ANTIBODIES AND VACCINES ARE OUTDATED: NanoViricides, Inc has a more innovative approach that works even when viruses mutate

    READ THE INVESTOR PRESENTATION HERE

    ___________________________

    Hello Everyone,

    As biotech stages a big comeback, NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) looks well-positioned to be a market disruptor with nontoxic, effective antiviral therapies based on patented nanomedicine technology.

    NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE American: NNVC) is a global leader in the application of nanomedicine technologies to the safe and effective treatment of viruses and their variants INCLUDING drugs against Covid-19, RSV and other respiratory viruses!

    Even with a decline since 2022, COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people in the USA – the CDC website states 69,200 hospitalizations and 2,652 deaths since January 1, 2024; the worldwide market size for COVID-19 therapeutics is expected to exceed $16.2 Billion in 2031.

    NANOVIRICIDES are better because they destroy viruses and their variants without relying on the patient’s immune system, thereby making them effective for populations that include geriatric and pediatric patients.

    Antibodies only bind by two points to the virus, and destruction of the complex requires effective immune function, which is not the case in sick patients..

    Vaccines only train the body into producing antibodies against the virus in the vaccine. Antibodies and vaccines are easily overcome by viruses by mutating in the field, hence the need for annual influenza vaccine updates.

    NNVC is a development stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company’s novel nanoviricide® class of drug candidates are designed to specifically attack enveloped virus particles and to dismantle them. Our lead drug candidate is NV-CoV-2 for the treatment of COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Our other advanced candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles (previously referred to as NV-HHV-101). The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-CoV-2 into Phase I/II human clinical trials. NV-CoV-2 is our nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-CoV-2 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles. The Company believes that since remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently. The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides’ platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for poxviruses and/or enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. The Company’s technology is based on broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in these areas from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

    RECENT COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:

      • NanoViricides, Inc’s lead drug, NV-387, is in Phase 1 clinical trials.
      • Broad spectrum antiviral NV-387 showing promise against many virus families including and beyond Tripledemic (i.e. COVID-19, RSV, FLU) .
      • No adverse events in Phase I SAD and MAD studies even at the highest dose 40mg/Kg
      • Found to be non-immunogenic, non-mutagenic, non-allergenic, and non-phototoxic.
      • Strong safety allows use in pediatrics, adults with co-morbidities, and immune-compromised patients unlike limitations of products currently in the market.  
      • Developed Oral Syrup and Oral Gummies (soft solids) – good for geriatric and pediatric patients
      • Drugs expected to continue to be effective even as the virus generates variants – unique receptor site doesn’t change
      • Technology mimics unique receptor site used by virus; delivers to specific targets using receptor-recognition (no bulky antibodies)

    A New Era in Targeted Anti-Viral Therapeutics

    NanoViricides rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 13, 2014. In the front center (left to right) are Meeta Vyas, Anil Diwan and Dr. Eugene Seymour.

    NanoViricides, Inc. is a globally leading company in the application of nanomedicine technologies to the complex issues of viral diseases. The nanoviricide® technology enables direct attacks at multiple points on a virus particle. It is believed that such attacks would lead to the virus particle becoming ineffective at infecting cells. Antibodies in contrast attack a virus particle at only a maximum of two attachment points per antibody. In addition, the nanoviricide technology also simultaneously enables attacking the rapid intracellular reproduction of the virus by incorporating one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) within the core of the nanoviricide. The nanoviricide technology is the only technology in the world, to the best of our knowledge, that is capable of both (a) attacking extracellular virus, thereby breaking the reinfection cycle, and simultaneously (b) disrupting intracellular production of the virus, thereby enabling complete control of a virus infection.

    Our anti-viral therapeutics, that we call “nanoviricides®” are designed to appear to the virus like the native host cell surface to which it binds. Since these binding sites for a given virus do not change despite mutations and other changes in the virus, we believe that our drugs will be broad-spectrum, i.e. effective against most if not all strains, types, or subtypes, of a given virus, provided the virus-binding portion of the nanoviricide is engineered appropriately. Viruses would not be able to escape the nanoviricide by viral mutations since they continue to bind to the same cellular receptor and thus would be captured by the nanoviricide. Virus escape by mutations is a major problem in the treatment of viral diseases using conventional drugs.

    Versatile Platform Technology

    A nanoviricide is created by chemically attaching a virus-binding ligand, derived from the binding site of the virus on its cell surface receptor, to a nanomicelle flexible polymer. This binding site does not change significantly when a virus mutates

    Tailor-made design and selection of (1) the virus-binding ligand; and (2) the backbone “nanomicelle”, separately, allows us to rapidly optimize drug candidates (a) against a number of viruses; (b) for desired pharmacokinetic characteristics (e.g. sustained effect); and (c) for different routes of administration. This versatility is unmatched in the Industry.

    Virus-specific nanoviricides have been created against important viruses such as HIV, Influenza and Bird Flu by choosing highly virus-specific ligands

    Broad-spectrum nanoviricides have been created that can bind to possibly as many as 90-95% of known viruses. The Company is developing broad-spectrum nanoviricides to combat several neglected tropical diseases, such as Dengue, Rabies, and Ebola/Marburg. This is similar to antibiotics such as penicillin against bacteria that exploit a feature common to all bacteria.

    A NanoViricide® Attacking a Virus Particle: Unique, Novel, Nanotech Design

    bindingimage

    A single nanoviricide micelle may be capable of completely engulfing a Virus Particle. Nanoviricide micelles self-assemble from multiple chains. A single chain micelle shown for convenience. Illustration not to scale.

    Each nanoviricide drug is designed as an antiviral agent specifically targeted for a particular type of virus or group of viruses. Most existing anti-viral agents are known to have non-specific effects against both host cells and viral machinery at the same time often leading to side effects. Most current anti-viral agents act inside human cells. It is believed that this intracellular mechanism leads to significant opportunities for unwanted side effects against host cells. Nanoviricides, on the other hand, are designed to work directly against virus particles in bodily fluids. The Company believes that this approach may make nanoviricides inherently safer than existing approaches.

    A nanoviricide is designed to seek and attach to a specific virus particle, engulfing the virus particle in the process, thereby rendering it incapable of infecting new cells, and disabling it completely. This suggested mechanism of action encompasses much more than what the current entry and fusion inhibitors are expected to do. The fusion and entry inhibitors do not completely cover the virus particle, likely blocking only a few sites on the virus particle. This means the virus particle may still be capable of infecting cells using its unblocked attachment sites. In contrast, a nanoviricide, because of its larger size and flexible nature, is expected to engulf the virus particle completely, thus disabling the virus particle. The action of a nanoviricide, if it works as designed, may be expected to be superior to antibody agents that attack viruses. Antibodies, being large, are expected to block relatively greater portions of the virus particle surface compared to small molecule entry inhibitors. However, antibodies depend upon the human immune system responses for clearing the virus particle. In contrast, nanoviricides are thought to be capable of acting as completely programmed chemical robots that finish their task of destroying the virus particle on their own.

    NV 387 IN CLINICAL TRIALS

    The drug, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrated exceptional safety in clinical trials, even at the highest dose levels, with NO adverse events reported. The unique mechanism of action involves mimicking a cell membrane, encapsulating and blocking the virus.

    Beyond COVID-19, the drug also displayed promising results against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), offering a potential solution for infants and seniors where existing treatments like ribavirin may be contraindicated due to side effects.

    The clinical trials involved both oral tablets and oral gummies, catering to various age groups, including pediatrics. NV 387 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against multiple strains of coronaviruses, showcasing effectiveness 10 times greater than remdesivir in preclinical studies.

    The ongoing clinical trial progress and positive results position NanoViricides at the forefront of antiviral drug development, marking a significant milestone in their journey from preclinical research since 2005 to clinical trials.

    The company believes that NV-387 not only binds to the virus, but fuses with the virus surface, uprooting the glycoproteins that are required for the virus to bind to the human cell (for example, the S protein, and its products S1 and S2 proteins from coronaviruses), thereby rendering the virus incapable of infecting a cell. In contrast, antibodies are only capable of covering the virus, generally incompletely, and require immune system assistance for clearing the resulting complex!

    NV-387 ADDRESSES AN UNMET MEDICAL NEED FOR BROAD-SPECTRUM, SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ANTIVIRAL DRUG THAT WORKS AGAINST MULTIPLE VIRAL THREATS:

    There is a significant unmet medical need for a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that is effective and useable in all segments of the population. There are substantial limitations for all currently approved COVID drugs in terms of both the eligibility of a COVID patient, and the effectiveness of the drug.

    NNVC believes that the excellent safety and the distinctly different mechanism of NV-CoV-2 (NV-387) support the use of this drug across all patient populations. This is an important characteristic for a COVID drug as well as for a drug to treat RSV infection.

    NV-387 ADDRESSES LARGE MARKET SIZES:

    Even with a decline since 2022, COVID-19 continues to hospitalize and kill people in the USA – the CDC website states 69,200 hospitalizations and 2,652 deaths since January 1, 2024; the worldwide market size for COVID-19 therapeutics is expected to exceed $16.2 Billion in 2031*.

    *Source: Transparency Market Research

    The market size for RSV therapeutics was estimated to be $2 Billion in 2023 and is expected to rise to exceed $8.5 Billion by the year 2031**.

    **Source: Growth+ Market Reports.

    NANOVIRICIDES TECHNOLOGY WILL TRANSFORM THE WAY VIRUSES & THEIR VARIANTS ARE TREATED WORLDWIDE!

    NNVC’s novel approach has already enabled variant-proof drugs, blocking the complete viral life cycle without requiring help from the host’s defense systems! If both the viral re-infection cycle, and viral replication cycle arms of the viral lifecycle are blocked, a cure for many viral diseases is possible!!

    The Company’s virus-specific nanoviricides have been created against important viruses such as HIV, Influenza and Bird Flu by choosing highly virus-specific ligands.

    Broad-spectrum nanoviricides have been created that can bind to possibly as many as 90-95% of known viruses. The Company is also developing broad-spectrum nanoviricides to combat several neglected tropical diseases, such as Dengue, Rabies, and Ebola/Marburg.

    A Novel Broad-Spectrum Antiviral with Activity Against Smallpox/Mpox – NV-387 Possesses Strong Orthopoxvirus Activity Relevant to Both Sexual and Inhalation Modes of Transmission, Says NanoViricides

    SHELTON, CONNECTICUT – Wednesday, May 8, 2024 — NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.: NNVC) (the “Company”), a global leader in broad-spectrum antiviral nanomedicines, says that the ultra-broad antiviral activity spectrum of NV-387 includes activity against orthopoxvirus family (Smallpox/Mpox), with both inhalation and skin abrasion (sexual) modes of infection acquisition. Ectromelia virus infection of mice is a model for Smallpox infection in humans, and also serves as a surrogate for MPox infection in humans. All three viruses belong to the orthopoxvirus family.

    NanoViricides reports that in a lethal animal model of lung infection by Ectromelia virus, oral dosing with NV-387 led to an increase in lifespan of mice that was comparable to oral treatment with tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA), the approved drug against Smallpox.

    This lung infection study substantiates the results of the previously reported intradigital footpad infection study that: (i) NV-387 has comparable antiviral activity as tecovirimat, and
    (ii) NV-387 plus tecovirimat has much stronger antiviral activity than either drug alone.

    We have completed a lethality animal study wherein animals were infected with ectromelia virus into the lungs directly. In this study, we found that NV-387 alone treated animals survived 15 days, tecovirimat alone treated animals survived 16 days, and NV-387 plus tecovirimat treated animals survived 19 days, whereas vehicle-treated animals died in 8 days.

    This lung-infection study emulates infection from aerosolized dispersion of the virus, as may be expected in a bioterrorism scenario.

    Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Lung Infection with Ectromelia Virus

    Previously, on November 14, 2023, we have reported that in a lethal intradigital footpad infection of mice with ectromelia virus, oral NV-387 treatment led to lifespan improvement comparable to oral tecovirimat treatment, with both treatments resulting in 14 days survival, whereas vehicle treated animals died in 8 days. Moreover, combined treatment with both NV-387 and tecovirimat resulted in a significantly improved survival of 17 days in this study.

    Survival Lifespan of Lethally Infected Mice – Intradigital Footpad Infection with Ectromelia Virus

    This intradigital footpad infection study emulates the skin-to-skin transfer of the virus as in sexual transmission, such as that in the case of current Clade 1 MPox virus epidemic in the DR Congo; Clade 1 MPox is more deadly than the Clade 2 MPox; the latter had caused a small pandemic recently with sexual mode of transmission (https://www.sciencefocus.com/news/monkey-pox-new-strain , May 5, 2024).

    Tecovirimat is the drug approved for smallpox under “animal rule” and is stockpiled by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). It was mobilized from the stockpile during the recent MPox Clade 2 pandemic. BARDA is interested in development of additional poxvirus therapeutics as per a recent Broad-Agency Announcement (BAA). There is significant interest in the development of a smallpox therapeutic that works well by itself, as well as in combination with the known drug, tecovirimat. Tecovirimat has a low barrier of escape; a single mutation in one protein can enable the virus to escape this drug, adding to the significance of additional smallpox drug development.

    Therefore we believe that NV-387 is a viable clinical candidate to be developed by itself for the treatment of poxvirus infections under the US FDA “Animal Rule”. In addition, we believe that the combination of NV-387 and tecovirimat could reduce the potential for escape resistant generation against tecovirimat, as is known with other drug combination studies against viruses.

    A safe and effective antiviral drug that the virus would not escape by simple mutations or field evolution is the holy grail of antiviral drug development. We believe that the NanoViricides Platform technology meets this challenge.

    Treasure Global to Report Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Results on May 14, 2024

    8% of Malaysia has already bought into the concept with 2,680,000 registered ZCITY users in the country with a population of 34 million

    TGL Recently Took Measures to DRASTICALLY Reduce the Size of the Float!!

    READ THE COMPANY PRESENTATION HERE

    ___________________________

    Hello Everyone,

    We have a new profile that we want you to get on your radar for next week.

    This is a company that just completed a 1:70 reverse split back in February.

    This drastically reduces the float when a company does that.

    We have covered a few companies recently that completed reverse splits and went on to show immense volatility due to the limited number of shares available.

    There is no way to tell if this is exact but Finviz has the entire float at just over a Half Million Shares.

    If true then that could explain why TGL has been on the move.

    This one just touched 6 bucks on Friday and has closed green 3 of the last 4.

    Two of those sessions it closed up double digits (12.5% & 17%).

    Recently the company announced that it will report its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which ended on March 31, 2024, after market close on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. This could be a major catalyst this week for the company depending on what they report.

    TGL has demonstrated consistent year over year profit growth from the company.

    Recently revenues have been down and profits have been up because the company has been focusing on increasing growth in higher-margin revenue channels.

    Gross profit for the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year was approximately $0.35 million, a 48% improvement year-on-year, from approximately $0.23 million for the second quarter of the 2023 fiscal year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to initiatives mentioned above that the Company is implementing to grow gross margins.

    Treasure Global Inc (TGL) is a Malaysian e-commerce company whose mission is to “bring together the worlds of online e-commerce and offline physical retailers.”

    Its proprietary app, ZCITY, is kind of like Google Pay meets Groupon, but operates in Malaysia.

    ZCITY gives users a simplified e-payment solution while allowing them to earn rewards from cash rebates to exclusive discounts and vouchers.

    From the merchant side, companies can send ZCITY users personalized deals based on purchase history, location, and preferences — all powered by artificial intelligence.

    ZCITY even allows users to pay things such as utility bills, rent, or TV subscriptions, all while earning “Zcoins,” which can be redeemed for a variety of rewards.

    Launched in Malaysia in July 2020, ZCITY has already achieved significant market penetration, with 2,680,000 registered users and 2,000 registered merchants/brands as of December 2023.

    To put that in perspective, Malaysia’s population is 34 million, meaning 8 percent of them are registered users on ZCITY.

    TGL’s other main app is TAZTE, which is kind of like the Malaysian Yelp but with payment integration via ZCITY.

    Merchants can set discounts, provide rewards, and offer loyalty programs all through the app. It also features inventory management and consumer behavior analysis.

    Recent Business Highlights

    • Over 2.68 million registered users as of December 31, 2023.
