DENVER, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR | OTCQX: ARRNF and AMRRY) (“ARR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from a metallurgical study on leaching extraction of REE from Halleck Creek ore by low temperature, direct acid leaching. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (“EERE”) awarded a three-year (2022-2025) research contract to Phinix, LLC with American Rare Earth and Virginia Tech as team members. This metallurgical study was carried out by researchers at the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at Virginia Tech. These positive results further confirm the findings of the metallurgical testwork carried out by Wood PLC1 which were previously announced by ARR.

Key Points: 
  • Fast leaching kinetics are attributable to Halleck Creek metamict allanite structure, with 65% of REEs extracted in the first 10 minutes of leaching.
  • Halleck Creek ore is less refractory than monazite or bastnaesite, which cannot be leached using low-temperature acid tank leaching.
  • Green and Smart Mining Engineering - (Xiao and Zhang, 2024)
    High-grade rare-earth enriched Halleck Creek ore highlights its economic potential.
  • Donald Swartz, Chief Executive Officer of American Rare Earths commented:
    “We’re extremely pleased with the leaching results which further validate the recent scoping study assumptions and our optimism around the project.

Gritstone bio Announces Positive Preliminary Progression-free Survival and Long-term Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Data from Phase 2 Portion of Ongoing Phase 2/3 Study of its Personalized Cancer Vaccine, GRANITE, in Front-line Metastatic Microsatellite St

måndag, april 1, 2024

EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gritstone bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company working to develop the world’s most potent vaccines, today announced positive preliminary data from the ongoing, signal seeking Phase 2 portion of the Phase 2/3 study evaluating GRANITE, its personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine, in front-line metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC). The randomized, controlled, open-label study is designed to quantify the clinical benefit of maintenance therapy with GRANITE (GRT-C901/GRT-R902) in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in addition to fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab versus fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab alone. Overall progression free survival (PFS) data show an early trend in benefit for GRANITE patients (HR=0.82, [95% CI, 0.34-1.67]; 62% censored) and extended PFS benefit in high-risk patients (HR=0.52 [95% CI, 0.15-1.38]; 44% censored), in whom progression occurs faster. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis over several months of treatment shows the expected relationship with disease progression and favors GRANITE, while short-term ctDNA response analysis (molecular response as defined per protocol) did not demonstrate a difference between study arms. Gritstone bio successfully manufactured GRANITE product candidate for every eligible patient (i.e., 100% vaccine manufacturing success rate).

Key Points: 
  • Gritstone bio successfully manufactured GRANITE product candidate for every eligible patient (i.e., 100% vaccine manufacturing success rate).
  • “Today's preliminary Phase 2 results are highly encouraging and represent the first randomized trial evidence, albeit early, that a personalized neoantigen-directed vaccine can potentially drive efficacy in a metastatic ‘cold’ tumor.
  • Fortunately, long-term analysis demonstrates the expected correlation of ctDNA with clinical benefit and favors GRANITE patients.
  • This analysis was performed on 44 patients who received study treatment (control and GRANITE arms) and have available baseline ctDNA data.

Annovis Announces Publication That Supports Understanding of Buntanetap’s Mechanism of Action in Humans

måndag, april 1, 2024

MALVERN, Pa., April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Annovis Bio, Inc. (NYSE: ANVS), a clinical-stage drug platform company developing novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced the publication of new data from an earlier study supporting buntanetap as a translational inhibitor of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in patients with early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

Key Points: 
  • Buntanetap is an oral molecule that selectively binds to an iron-responsive element in the mRNA of APP and other neurotoxic proteins and inhibits their translation.
  • Through this mechanism, buntanetap was shown to decrease the production of amyloid beta (Aβ), a key hallmark in AD.
  • Here, SILK was used to measure the kinetics of APP in early AD patients and to quantify Aβ40 in CSF.
  • Notably, the analysis of adverse events demonstrated no dose-dependent effect of buntanetap compared to placebo, affirming the drug’s safety and tolerability.
