- Patients in the low-dose cohort who have completed 36 weeks of treatment, 9 out of 11 (81.8%) achieved overall clinical remission and 10 out of 11 (91%) achieved immunological complete remission.- In the high dose cohort, 6 out of 7 (85.7%) patients achieved overall clinical remission and all patients achieved immunological complete remission by week 24.- EVER001 was generally safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant adverse events typically associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors, such as bleeding, arrhythmia, severe infection, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or severe liver function impairment, were reported.SHANGHAI, Dec 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK,“Everest”, or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced positive results in the ongoing Phase 1b/2a clinical trial for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) with EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011), a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. In an analysis of the data available as of September 13th, 2024, results from the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial showed that for patients in the low-dose cohort who have completed 36 weeks of treatment, 9 out of 11 (81.8%) achieved overall clinical remission1 and 10 out of 11 (91%) achieved immunological complete remission (ICR)2. In the high dose cohort, 6 out of 7 (85.7%) patients achieved overall clinical remission and all patients achieved ICR by week 24.EVER001 is a covalent reversible BTK inhibitor with potentially best-in-class characteristics for the treatment of autoimmune renal diseases. Compared to covalent irreversible BTK inhibitors, EVER001 offers improved selectivity while maintaining high potency, thereby potentially avoiding many of the side effects associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors. Everest Medicines holds global rights to EVER001 for the treatment of renal diseases.The Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EVER001 for the treatment of pMN is an ongoing trial conducted in China. A total of 31 patients with biopsy-proven pMN who tested positive for anti-PLA2R autoantibodies were enrolled into two cohorts. The total treatment duration was 36 weeks. Based on the patient data collected by September 13th, 2024, in the low-dose cohort, the geometric least squares mean 24-hour proteinuria decreased by 78.3% at week 36 compared to baseline, while the high-dose cohort achieved a 73.8% reduction by week 24. EVER001 treatment induced greater than 90% reductions in anti-PLA2R antibody as early as week 24 in the low-dose cohort and week 12 in the high-dose cohort. EVER001 was generally safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant adverse events typically associated with earlier-generation BTK inhibitors, such as bleeding, arrhythmia, severe infection, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or severe liver function impairment, were reported."We are excited to see the encouraging results in this preliminary analysis of our Phase 1b/2a clinical proof-of-concept trial of EVER001. This demonstrates the potential of EVER001 as a next-generation BTK inhibitor for the treatment of various autoimmune renal diseases, including pMN. "Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, said："This data release marks the first time Everest Medicines has disclosed results from its global pipeline. We look forward to completing this trial and sharing detailed data in future conferences and publications. Moving forward, we will continue to drive the global clinical development of EVER001, to meet patients' urgent clinical needs.”Membranous nephropathy is a common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome in adults, and its prevalence in China has been increasing, ranking second only to IgA nephropathy3. There are about 2 million patients with pMN in China, with an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 patients in the United States, 80,000 in Europe, and 40,000 in Japan. There are no approved drugs for this indication worldwide. The current treatment goal is to improve remission rates, reduce high relapse rates, and minimize the risk of chronic toxicity caused by currently available treatments. More than one-third of pMN patients still progress to end-stage renal disease under current standards of care.This Phase 1b/2a clinical trial was approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration in September 2022 to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of EVER001 in Chinese patients with glomerular diseases characterized by proteinuria. The previously published results of a Phase 1 study conducted in healthy Chinese and Australian subjects conducted by SinoMab BioScience indicate that EVER001 has high selectivity, excellent pharmacokinetic properties, a good safety profile, and strong target binding.About EVER001EVER001 (previously known as XNW1011) is a next-generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor in development globally for the treatment of renal diseases.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 3, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTCQB: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "MILI") a leading North American exploration company focused on critical minerals, acknowledges today's announcement by China banning exports of gallium, germanium, and antimony to the United States. This move underscores the urgent need for Western nations to secure reliable long-term sources of these essential materials.Antimony, a critical component in military applications, energy storage, and advanced manufacturing, is now at the forefront of the global supply chain crisis. China's ban, coupled with existing restrictions that came into effect September 15, 2024, has already sent antimony prices soaring by over 228% this year(1). The Western world faces mounting pressure to address its reliance on China for strategic resources critical to national defense and technological innovation. This ban comes at a time when defense sector inventories are at already concerningly low levels.(2)Military Metals recent antimony mineral project acquisitions in Slovakia, Nova Scotia, and Nevada provide shareholders with a pure antimony play with a diverse portfolio in top jurisdictions."This announcement from China reinforces the importance of Military Metals' mission to secure a sustainable, independent future supply chain for critical minerals," said Scott Eldridge, CEO of Military Metals Corp. "The West can no longer afford to rely on adversarial nations for resources essential to our security and economic stability. We are taking proactive steps to meet this growing demand with future domestic and allied sources of antimony."As geopolitical tensions escalate and the trade war intensifies, Military Metals will continue to prioritize the development of critical mineral resources and work closely with governments and industry partners to ensure the West remains resilient and self-sufficient.About Military Metals Corp.

TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers, such as plastics, are essential in many aspects of life and industry, from packaging and cars to medical devices and optic fibres. Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers – the single chemical units – that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the chemical behaviour of monomers during manufacture to achieve a desired outcome.The flow synthesis reactor with two bottles containing a monomer, initiator and solvent mixed using a micromixer. The synthesis is controlled with AI-based design of experimental conditions such as the temperature and a flow rate. Now, a team of researchers led by Professor Mikiya Fujii of the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan have used machine learning to mathematically model the polymerization process and reduce the need for time-consuming and expensive experimentation. Their results have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.Machine learning algorithms need data, so the researchers designed a polymerization process that would quickly and efficiently generate experimental data to feed into the mathematical model. The target molecule was a styrene-methyl methacrylate co-polymer, which was made by mixing styrene and methyl methacrylate monomers, both already dissolved in a solvent with an added initiator substance, then heating them in a water bath.The team also used a method called flow synthesis, in which the two monomer solutions are mixed and heated in a constant flow. This allows for better mixing, more efficient heating, and more precise control of heating time and flow rate, which makes it ideal for use with machine learning.The modelling evaluated the effect of five key variables in the polymerization process: the concentration of the initiator, the ratio of solvent to monomer, the proportion of styrene, the temperature of the reaction, and the time spent in the water bath. The goal was to have an end product with as close to 50% styrene as possible.Once enough experimental data was available, the machine learning process took only five cycles of calculation to achieve the ideal proportion of styrene to methyl methacrylate. The results showed that the key was a lower temperature and longer time in the water bath, as well as lowering the relative concentration of the monomer in the solvent. The researchers were surprised to discover that the solvent concentration was just as important as the proportion of monomers going into the mix.“Our results demonstrate that machine learning not only can explicitly reveal what humans may have implicitly taken for granted but can also provide new insights that weren’t recognized before,” Professor Mikiya Fujii says. “The use of machine learning in chemistry could open the door for smarter, greener manufacturing processes with reduced waste and energy consumption.”Further informationMikiya FujiiNara Institute of Science and TechnologyEmail: fujii.mikiya@ms.naist.jp Paper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2024.2425178About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jp Press release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

SHANGHAI, Dec 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that Department of Health of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, has accepted Everest’s New Drug Application (NDA) for VELSIPITY(R) (etrasimod) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. VELSIPITY(R) is an effective and convenient, once-daily, oral treatment for patients with moderately-to-severely active UC that has already been approved in the U.S. and E.U., and other countries, by Everest’s licensing partner, Pfizer. In Everest territories, the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region, China has approved the NDA for VELSIPITY(R) in April of this year and was implemented in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area this October through the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy."Autoimmune disease is a core focus and a significant growth driver for our company. The number of UC patients in China is projected to double from 2019 to 2030 to approximately one million, highlighting the urgent need for novel treatments." said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “Previously, VELSIPITY(R) has already been approved in Macau, China, and was implemented in the Greater Bay Area through the connect policy. The company also plans to submit the NDA for approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) this year, with the aim of benefiting more Chinese patients as soon as possible."" This is an important advancement for etrasimod, bringing hope to patients in Hong Kong, China. This new-generation S1P receptor modulator is an oral, once-daily treatment that can provide patients with a chance for corticosteroid-free remission, mucosal healing, and rapid symptom relief, " said Prof. Wu Kaichun with the First Affiliated Hospital of AFMU who is the principal investigator for etrasimod’s Asia clinical trial. “We hope China and other Asian countries can obtain approvals as soon as possible to benefit more patients."The acceptance of the NDA was based on results from the ELEVATE UC Phase 3 registrational program (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12) that evaluated the safety and efficacy of etrasimod 2 mg once-daily on clinical remission in UC patients with moderately to severely active UC who had previously failed or were intolerant to at least one conventional, biologic, or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy. Nearly two-thirds of patients in ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12 were naïve to biologic or JAK inhibitor therapy, and these studies were also the only studies for advanced therapies for ulcerative colitis to include patients with isolated proctitis. Both studies achieved all primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, with a favorable safety profile consistent with previous studies of etrasimod.Everest conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of etrasimod in Asian countries, including mainland China, China Taiwan and South Korea. This is the largest Phase 3 trial of moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis in Asia completed to date, with 340 eligible subjects randomized to treatment with etrasimod or placebo. The previously announced results of the induction period indicate that the clinical remission rate for patients treated with etrasimod 2mg was 25.0%, compared to 5.4% for those treated with placebo (difference 20.4%, p

The event was jointly hosted by TF International Securities Group Limited ("TF International") and China CITIC Bank International Limited ("China CITIC Bank International"), attracting numerous international investors and financial industry leaders.The Kyrgyz Republic, as one of the earliest countries to support and engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, has seen increasingly close economic and trade relations with China. Recently, TF International signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance, becoming the first Hong Kong-based Chinese securities firm to establish an official partnership with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance. The two parties work together to promote the RMB internationalization, support the real economy, facilitate high-quality development, and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as an international financial center. The event featured distinguished guests, including Mr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance of Kyrgyz Republic, Mr. Abdybapov Abdanbek Abdybapovich, Head of the Government Borrowing Department of Kyrgyz Republic, Mr. CHAN Ho Lim, Joseph, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong S.A.R., and Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, as well as Mr. Andy Siow, Senior Coverage Banker, DCM, at China CITIC Bank International. They shared insights into Kyrgyzstan’s development opportunities and investment prospects in the international financial market, discussing investment opportunities and key focus areas for mutually beneficial cooperation. In his opening speech, Mr. CHAN Ho Lim, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, remarked, "Hong Kong has firmly established itself as Asia’s leading international financial centre. Our core strengths include free flow of capital and information, a robust common law system, and a simple and low tax regime, and Hong Kong enjoys preferential access to Mainland China. All these position Hong Kong as the super-connector between China and international markets, which plays a key role in promoting RMB internationalization and advancing the Belt and Road Initiative. The Kyrgyz Republic is an important partner under the Belt and Road Initiative and is certainly Hong Kong’s important trading partner in Central Asia.” He also stated that, “I would like to express my gratitude to the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance and TF International and appreciate your commitment to fostering stronger ties between Central Asia and Hong Kong. We look forward to exploring potential future collaborations with the Kyrgyz Republic that will benefit our respective markets and promote partnerships among Belt and Road nations.” As of September 1, 2024, Renminbi (RMB) has been included in the list of official daily exchange rates published by Kyrgyzstan, alongside the US dollar, euro, Russian ruble, and Kazakh tenge. This move further strengthens economic and financial cooperation between the two countries. Mr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic, stated, "The inclusion of the RMB in the list of official daily exchange rates in Kyrgyzstan marks a new stage in the economic cooperation between the two countries. This not only provides greater convenience for international investors but also empowers the development of Kyrgyzstan's financial market. Through this promotional event, we hope to connect with more international investment institutions and jointly promote the sustainable development of the regional economy." Hong Kong, as the international financial center and the central city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, plays an important bridging role in the Belt and Road Initiative, leveraging its diverse financing channels and close alignment with national strategies. Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, stated, "The Belt and Road Initiative offers significant opportunities for economic integration and development, enhancing trade across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. As a gateway between China and the world, Hong Kong is a key hub for the internationalization of the Renminbi, facilitating its use in trade and investment, and supporting effective currency risk management for BRI projects. With ongoing economic expansion and the internationalization of the Renminbi, Hong Kong is well-positioned to emerge as the premier financing hub. As we explore upcoming opportunities, I encourage you to envision the transformative impact these initiatives can have on the Kyrgyz Republic’s development agenda and the broader economic landscape of Central Asia. Together, we can unlock new avenues for growth and collaboration." From December 3 to 6, 2024, TF International, in collaboration with China CITIC Bank International will join forces with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance in hosting a series of non-deal roadshows in Shanghai and Beijing, further strengthening ties with the Chinese financial market. The success of today’s promotional seminar and non-deal roadshow in Hong Kong marks a new milestone in the economic cooperation between the two countries and injects fresh momentum into the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.
