420 with CNW — Senators Say DEA Rule on THC Content of Hemp Contravenes Congressional Intent

October 29, 2020

October 29, 2020 15:24:16

In August, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) unveiled proposed rules that would officially put the agency in line with the 2018 farm bill. The legislation legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its extracts, allowing farmers across the country to grow hemp under state and tribal programs. However, the federal agency’s interim final rule on hemp has been met with resistance from activists who argue it contradicts the 2018 farm bill and will hamper the growth of the nascent hemp industry.

Last week, a pair of Oregon senators sent a letter to the DEA demanding changes to its proposed hemp regulations. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley say that despite the DEA’s claim…

BioMedNewsBreaks – AzurRx BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: AZRX) Talks Porcine Usage, Producing Synthetic Alternative

October 29, 2020

October 29, 2020 15:01:46

AzurRx BioPharma (NASDAQ: AZRX), a New York-based biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of therapeutic proteins for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders, recently talked about its usage of porcine (pig) products in its production of pharmaceuticals and medicinals. Included in the discussion was a look at the disadvantages of such usage. AzurRx noted that pigs have been used for centuries in medical research and development; in fact, one study noted that pigs had been used in an estimated 20 medications and pharmaceuticals including six for the pancreas, which are of particular interest for AZRX. There are downsides to such usage, the company noted, including supply chain, concentration and purity issues. Because of these issues, AzurRx is hoping to develop synthetic replacement products. One of AZRX’s most promising treatments is MS1819, a lead product candidate being studied for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“EPI”) associated with cystic fibrosis (“CF”) and chronic pancreatitis (“CP”). The company is currently involved in several clinical trials for the drug, including two trial sites that were recently activated in Turkey. “We are truly pleased and encouraged by the interest in our expanding global Phase 2 Combination Trial,” AzurRx chief medical officer Dr. James Pennington stated in the press release. “The recently reported interim data suggests promising results, and the full data readout is expected in the second quarter of next year. Our investigators in Turkey have been extremely diligent in driving the startup of this trial in a very efficient and effective manner, and we look forward to our continued work with them.”

Study Suggests Psychedelics May Encourage Connectedness, Reduce Narcissism

October 29, 2020

October 29, 2020 14:37:21

In a new study published in “Psychopharmacology,”, researchers argue that feelings of awe elicited from psychedelic drugs may influence narcissistic personality traits positively. The study discovered that psychedelic experiences that evoke feelings of awe were connected to increased feelings of empathy and connectedness, which are linked to reduced levels of exploitative-entitled narcissism.

Because prior research had demonstrated that psychedelic substances could improve mental well-being and intensify feelings of social connectedness, the researchers of this study chose to instead focus on finding out whether the effects from these substances…

Five Companies That Could Win Tesla’s Giant Nickel Contract

October 29, 2020

October 29, 2020 13:05:10

Earlier in July this year, Tesla’s Elon Musk asked miners to mine more nickel. He pledged a “giant contract” for any firm that could mine nickel in an environmentally and economically sensitive way. Many speculate this to be an indication of Tesla upscaling its production of lithium-ion batteries. Forecasts show that Tesla may reach production of 5 million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025.

So assuming each Tesla EV requires roughly 55 kilograms of nickel, and Tesla manufactures 5 million electric vehicles annually, the company…

BioMedNewsBreaks – Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX) Announces Conditional FDA Acceptance of Proprietary Name for Lead Drug Candidate

October 29, 2020

October 29, 2020 12:19:52

Genprex (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes, has received conditional FDA acceptance of the proprietary name REQORSA(TM), its lead drug candidate for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The drug candidate was known previously by the laboratory designation GPX-001. The approval of the new name marks a critical branding milestone for the company. Genprex’s REQORSA (pronounced “re-KORE-suh”) immunogene therapy features the company’s exclusive ONCOPREX(TM) nanoparticle delivery system that delivers cancer-fighting genes. The name will be resubmitted to the FDA for final review and approval after all required clinical trials are completed; that final approval is based on the FDA’s approval of the product candidate. The new name was based on FDA’s guidelines for the submission and evaluation of proprietary names. Genprex selected the name based on a comprehensive review of name candidates, including a study of healthcare practitioners across the country to guarantee accurate prescription and safety interpretation of the name. “We are very pleased to receive FDA’s conditional acceptance of our proprietary name, REQORSA, which is a necessary step toward being able to market our lead drug candidate for non-small cell lung cancer,” said Genprex president and CEO Rodney Varner in the press release. “This name approval also marks an important milestone in our overall branding strategy, giving us a unique, easily understood name people can associate with the Genprex brand and mission.”

About Genprex Inc.

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing potentially life-changing technologies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new treatment options for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to in-license and develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. The company’s lead product candidate, GPX-001 (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”). GPX-001 has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. GPX-001 has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted fast track designation for GPX-001 for NSCLC in combination therapy with osimertinib (AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso(R)) for patients with “EFGR” mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with osimertinib alone.

Champignon Brands (CSE: SHRM) (FWB: 496) (OTCQB: SHRMF) has provided an update on its efforts to resolve a continuous disclosure review that was issued earlier this year. Champignon is working closely with the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) to coordinate the revocation of the cease trade order and hopes to provide information about a revocation of the order as soon as possible. In the update, the company noted that it has submitted all documentation requested by the BCSC in connection with the review of financial statements of AltMed Capital Corp. (“AltMed”) for the period ended June 30, 2020. The purpose of the review is to ensure compliance with the continuous disclosure obligations outlined by Canadian securities laws. Champignon was notified of the continuous disclosure review on June 19, 2020; the same day, the BCSC issued a cease trade order suspending trading in the securities of SHRM. The trade order requested reports in connection with SHRM’s acquisitions of Artisan Growers Ltd., Novo Formulations Ltd. and Tassili Life Sciences Corp. The requested reports were filed with the BCSC on July 21, 2020, and Champignon has continued to work with the commission to provide documentation and address additional issues that have arisen during the disclosure review process to ensure that the revocation of all orders is issued as soon as possible.
