Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Completes Animal Study Showing Its Patented DehydraTECH(TM) Technology Significantly Enhances Oral Delivery of Estradiol; Raises $2 Million in Gross Proceeds from Public Offering

  • Lexaria recently completed its animal study HOR-A22-1 showing its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology dramatically enhanced the oral delivery of estradiol, a type of estrogen hormone
  • The use of DehydraTECH resulted in ~900% higher peak concentration of estradiol in the bloodstream compared to the control, as well as a 2,000% increase in the levels of estrone
  • Estrone is a type of estrogen that can be reversibly made from estradiol in certain tissues within the female body
  • The study HOR-A22-1 also revealed that DehydraTECH resulted in 1,500% and 12,500% higher exposure to estradiol and estrone over time, respectively, compared to the control
  • Lexaria also announced the closing of a public offering that raised approximately $2 million in gross proceeds

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently reported that it had completed its animal study HOR-A22-1, which showed that the company’s patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology platform significantly enhanced the oral delivery of the estrogen hormone estradiol (https://ibn.fm/ywP2y).

Performed in 20 female Sprague-Dawley rats, the pharmacokinetic study compared a DehydraTECH-estradiol formulation to a generic estradiol composition, both containing 10 mg/kg of estradiol, to evaluate the ability of DehydraTECH to enhance the delivery properties of the orally administered hormone. Once dosing was completed, blood was collected up to 48 hours post-dosing, with the concentration of estradiol and estrone determined thereafter.

Estradiol is a major female sex hormone and the most common form of estrogen in women of childbearing age. It is normally made in the ovaries (although it is also manufactured in the testicles in men, albeit in small quantities) but can be administered as an oral tablet, topical gel or patch, cream, or injection to reduce the symptoms of menopause and protect bone health. It is also found in birth control products. Put simply, estradiol is an important element of therapeutic products in the women’s health sector. On the other hand, Estrone is the only type of estrogen that females continue to manufacture after menopause. It is primarily made in the adrenal glands (in both males and females), although it is also reversibly manufactured from estradiol in tissues found in the mammary gland, uterus, and liver, a factor that informed the study’s measurement of estrone levels.

The study found that the DehydraTECH-estradiol composition resulted in a maximum concentration in the bloodstream (“Cmax”) of 5.65 ng/mL, which was approximately 900% higher than the control formulation’s Cmax (0.63 ng/mL). Additionally, the use of the DehydraTECH-formulation resulted in a 2,000% increase in the levels of the estrone metabolite, also measured using the Cmax parameter: DehydraTECH-estradiol resulted in a Cmax of 6.49 ng/mL compared to the control’s 0.302 ng/mL.

Additionally, the study evaluated the area under the curve (“AUC”), a parameter that gave insight into the total delivery of estradiol over time as well as the extent of exposure to estrone. The AUC was 3.9 hr.ng/mL for estradiol and 32.6 hr.ng/mL for estrone when the DehydraTECH-processed composition was used. In comparison, the AUC after administering the control was non-detectable for both estradiol and estrone, as it was below 0.25 ng/mL, the lower limit of quantitation of the assay. This means the AUC findings were 1,500% and 12,500% greater than the control for estradiol and estrone, respectively.

Considered an additional step that is readily incorporated into the formulation and manufacturing process of existing or new orally ingestible and topical products, DehydraTECH has been shown to improve the proportion of the drug delivered into the bloodstream (bioavailability) and the absorption of drugs into the brain tissue. Among the drugs that can benefit from these improvements is oral estradiol, which has minimal bioavailability (2% to 10%) due to gut and liver metabolism (https://ibn.fm/kbdx1). This, according to Lexaria, often necessitates high dosages to achieve the desired beneficial effect; but this can, in turn, lead to unwanted side effects. Thus, incorporating DehydraTECH into the manufacturing process of oral estradiol and potentially other human hormone therapies may enhance their oral delivery.

The animal study HOR-A22-1, which is part of Lexaria’s efforts to pursue multiple paths to success by investigating several large market opportunities, represents a foray into the hormone replacement market estimated to grow from $31.06 billion in 2019 to an estimated $46.50 billion by 2027, a 5.1% CAGR (https://ibn.fm/PnAIK).

Meanwhile, Lexaria also announced the closing of its public offering of 2,106,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The offering generated approximately $2.0 million in gross proceeds.

CISO Global Inc. (NASDAQ: CISO) Provides Essential Protection Against Cybersecurity Threats

  • Smart organizations are encouraged to meet certain standards and regulations to protect data against cybersecurity threats
  • With more than 15 billion user credentials scattered across the dark web, the threat is real
  • CEO notes that compliance is an important driver for security, and organizations should never view it as a mere technical nuisance

Complying with security requirements should be about more than just ticking off mandatory checkboxes, says CISO Global (NASDAQ: CISO) CEO David Jemmett (https://ibn.fm/dDN38). CISO Global, formerly Cerberus Cyber Sentinel Corp., works closely with companies to provide essential protection, and Jemmett is a recognized expert in the field of cybersecurity.

“Today, all organizations are required or encouraged to meet certain standards and regulations to protect their data against cybersecurity threats,” writes Jemmett in a guest essay for The Last Watchdog. “The regulations vary across countries and industries, but they are designed to protect customers from the threat of posed data breaches.”

That threat is real, notes Jemmett, citing estimates that currently more than 15 billion user credentials are scattered across the dark web. “The importance of compliance is clear to see,” he writes. “In spite of this, many organizations today still see compliance as a nuisance, rather than a business enabler. All too often, organizations will analyze compliance requirements and harden their systems and practices to meet them, without really thinking about their importance to the business. Instead, they will tick the mandatory checkboxes, even if security measures haven’t been enacted, and file the record away as quickly as possible.”

This approach is dangerous, explains Jemmett, noting that single “point-in-time” compliance doesn’t cut it in today’s threat landscape. “Compliance is no longer a ‘set and forget’ security framework,” he continues. “To keep up to speed in today’s evolving threat landscape, compliance is a process that must be maintained continuously.”

In his essay, Jemmett offers several tips to help companies implement an effective cybersecurity compliance strategy, providing timely, relevant protection against current as well as new and emerging threats. These suggestions include staying up-to-date with the evolving and growing attack surface, taking a risk-based approach and remembering that cybersecurity is a culture, not a product. “Compliance is an important driver for security, and organizations should never view it as a mere technical nuisance. Cybersecurity is a critical business enabler today, and those that get it right will excel. Those that get it wrong, and do not prioritize their defenses, could stand to lose everything,” Jemmett concluded.

CISO Global is gaining recognition as a leading provider of global cybersecurity and compliance as it rapidly expands by acquiring world-class cybersecurity, secured-managed services and compliance companies. These acquisitions bring top-tier talent to the CISO table, enabling the company to utilize the latest technology to create innovative solutions to protect the most demanding businesses and government organizations, mitigating continuing and emerging security threats and compliance obligations.

Genprex Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GNPX) Inspiring Patient Video on Gene Therapy’s Potential in NSCLC Treatment

Gene Therapy’s Transformative Potential Highlighted in Inspiring Patient Video Interview with Genprex’s (NASDAQ: GNPX) REQORSA on Benzinga.

Click Here for the full article

The interview showcases the real-life experience of a patient participating in a clinical trial utilizing Genprex’s innovative gene therapy drug candidate, REQORSA, shedding light on the significant impact it could potentially have in advancing the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

The featured video highlights the compelling story of Jacqueline Marino, a participant in the Phase 1 segment of Genprex’s Phase 1/2 Acclaim-1 clinical trial. Marino, diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), offers an inspiring account of her experience with REQORSA(R) Immunogene Therapy, Genprex’s flagship drug candidate, in combination with Tagrisso(R).

Marino’s narrative centers on the significant positive impact REQORSA has had on her life. Her treating physician observed that her lung cancer lesions remained stable, devoid of any signs of growth. This stability, combined with an extended period of Progression-Free Survival (“PFS”), has led to an enhanced quality of life and invaluable additional time for Marino.

REQORSA Immunogene Therapy represents a potentially groundbreaking experimental drug that harnesses the power of genetic medicine to combat NSCLC. The Acclaim-1 trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining REQORSA with Tagrisso in patients with advanced EGFR mutant NSCLC who have experienced disease progression after previous treatments.

During the Phase 1 portion of the clinical trial, the primary emphasis is on evaluating the safety of the treatment. However, the findings also have revealed promising efficacy results. One patient previously treated with standard of care therapies such as osimertinib had a partial remission (“PR”) by investigator evaluation and treatment is ongoing after 16 cycles, which is approximately 10.5 months. Another patient previously treated with osimertinib, has stable disease and treatment is ongoing after 14 cycles, or approximately 9 months. The extended and ongoing progression free survival (“PFS”) of each of these patients is significantly greater than the median PFS observed from treatment with osimertinib alone in this treatment setting in several prior clinical trials and is consistent with long-term PFS seen in prior clinical trials of REQORSA. These findings underscore the potential of REQORSA in reshaping the landscape of non-small cell lung cancer.

The release of the patient video interview on Benzinga coincides with the successful completion of the Phase 1 portion of the Acclaim-1 clinical trial. The compelling patient story, combined with the Safety Review Committee’s approval to proceed with the Phase 2 expansion segment, signify significant milestones in the development of REQORSA Immunogene Therapy.

While REQORSA is currently in early-stage clinical studies and will require successful large scale studies prior to regulatory approval and commercial availability, the patient video interview on Benzinga provides a captivating glimpse into the transformative potential of gene therapy. Marino’s journey serves as an inspirational testament to the promise of REQORSA in addressing the critical needs of NSCLC patients.

To watch Jacqueline Marino’s powerful story and delve deeper into REQORSA Immunogene Therapy, visit the featured video on Benzinga.

*It is important to note that REQORSA is an investigational drug and has not received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory authority. The experiences shared in the video are unique to Jacqueline Marino and may not be representative of the outcomes experienced by other patients undergoing REQORSA treatment.

Biogas Boom: EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF)’s Leadership Position in Canada’s Global Sustainability Push

  • In 2019, Quebec became the first Canadian province to mandate the inclusion of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) in natural gas distribution; other provinces have followed suit
  • EverGen Infrastructure as a renewable energy leader in Canada, specializing in RNG with operations in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario
  • EverGen has agreements with provincial governments and businesses to bat for organic feedstock and supply agreements with major Canadian utilities, including FortisBC, to include RNG in their pipelines

Renewable energy forms a cornerstone of environmental sustainability, with nations worldwide realizing the immense potential of harnessing naturally occurring energy sources. One such pivotal renewable source is biogas, produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic waste from landfills, agricultural waste, and wastewater from treatment facilities. Biogas is further processed into RNG (renewable natural gas), a carbon-negative product that is essentially indistinguishable from conventional natural gas collected from drilled wells. Canada is fast becoming a global leader in this arena, as is EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), capitalizing on its unique attributes and comprehensive sustainability strategies that outshine many of its international counterparts.

A key advantage of Canada’s biogas push compared to other countries is its vastness and diverse landscapes. In 2019, Quebec became the first province to mandate the inclusion of RNG in natural gas distribution. According to Canada Energy Regulator,18 new RNG projects built after 2021 will increase Canada’s RNG capacity from 7.2 petajoules (“PJ”) in 2021 to 17.1 PJ in 2025. With expansive agricultural lands and numerous livestock operations, the country possesses an abundant and continuous supply of raw materials needed for biogas production. Notably, agricultural waste, a primary input, is available in substantial quantities, thereby creating a mutually beneficial relationship between agriculture and renewable energy sectors.

Secondly, the Canadian government’s strong commitment to environmental sustainability plays a significant role. Their strategies towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are comprehensive, clear, and measurable. It includes generous incentives for renewable energy investments and stringent regulations against carbon-intensive operations. This robust policy framework makes Canada an attractive destination for green tech investments and an incubator for biogas technologies.

A considerable advantage Canada has is its technological leadership in renewable energy. EverGen stands out at the forefront of renewable energy R&D, innovating and investing in RNG projects across the country to play an important role in production, storage, and distribution of RNG efficiently.

The British Columbia-based company has partnerships with jurisdictions and businesses for feedstock and output supply agreements with some of the nation’s biggest utilities, including FortisBC. FortisBC is a pioneer itself as a significant contributor to the province’s emissions reduction targets. The utility has a goal to have about 75 percent of the gas in its system being RNG or low carbon by 2050. Approached 12,000 homes and business in British Columbia are already using RNG, part of which is produced by EverGen from local organic waste.

This dovetails with the CleanBC strategy pursuant to which British Columbia is committed to a minimum requirement of 15% renewable content in the natural gas stream by 2030.

EverGen has three operations in B.C. Its Fraser Valley Biogas is an anaerobic digestion facility that utilizes local agriculture and commercial food processing waste to generate RNG and renewable fertilizer. Liquid and solid digestate matter is a byproduct of RNG production and is used as fertilizer and in other applications. Pacific Coast Renewables is an organics facility processing blended feedstock from agricultural, municipal, and commercial organic waste. Sea to Sky Soils is also an operational organics processing facility, more specifically a compost facility (feedstock from municipal and agricultural waste) operated in partnership with Lil’wat First Nation.

EverGen also has a 67% ownership of GrowTEC, an operational RNG facility in Alberta, and a 50% ownership in Project Radius in Ontario, an ambitious operating farm-scale anaerobic digester converting biodegradable waste into biogas.

Canada’s communal consciousness regarding sustainability and clean energy consumption makes it an optimal testing ground for renewable energy solutions. The country boasts one of the highest levels of education globally, with its citizens exhibiting a deep understanding and respect for the environment. This cultural attitude encourages widespread adoption of sustainable practices, creating a market for renewable energy technologies like biogas.

This harmonious blend of natural resources, proactive government policies, technological leadership, and communal consciousness has placed Canada at the forefront of the global biogas revolution. When contrasted with other countries, many lack either the necessary resources or the institutional support. For instance, while countries like Nigeria and Venezuela have enormous untapped natural resources, they lag behind due to inadequate regulatory support and sociopolitical instabilities. Countries like Singapore and the Netherlands possess strong institutional support and public awareness, but face constraints due to their limited land area and resources.

Canada’s sustainability push, particularly its focus on biogas, represents a commendable model for other countries. Its extensive natural resources, coupled with strategic government policies, leading-edge research, and a strong cultural emphasis on sustainability, have positioned Canada as a global leader in this arena. Its success in biogas utilization underscores the importance of a cohesive and well-rounded approach to sustainable development, providing valuable lessons for countries striving to make their economies greener and more sustainable.

The event will feature three stages, two floors of expo booths, crypto marketplaces, NFT galleries, blockchain bootcamps for beginners, networking events, and two developer hackathons: ETHToronto and ETHWomen.

The Main Stage will host a curated list of top speakers who will deliver presentations and industry keynotes on the future of emerging technologies and how they impact the social, economic, political, and environmental landscape of the global economy. Here, the speakers will also provide insights into industries that are being disrupted or transformed. This stage will also form the perfect setting for speakers and presenting companies to make major announcements, launch products on-stage, and showcase innovative solutions for the first time.

Three stages include panel discussions, where speakers debate technologies such as NFTs (non-fungible tokens), DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), GameFi, the metaverse and more. The Purple Stage is geared specifically towards bootcamps and workshops, enabling beginners to learn about blockchain and allied technologies.

One consistent fact that emerges from all Blockchain Futurist Conferences is that they promise a glimpse into topics even before they become mainstream. This is thanks, in part, to the selection committee, which carefully curates the top speakers and sends specific invites for mainstage slots. This has often resulted in stellar coverage of emerging technologies. For example, during past events, attendees heard about the future of decentralized finance, NFTs, the metaverse, and artificial intelligence even before they became buzzwords. The upcoming fifth edition will be no different.

The 5th Annual Blockchain Futurist Conference will bring together world-class speakers, including:

  • Charles Hoskinson, CEO and Founder of IO Global, best known for the cryptocurrency Cardano, and Tamara Haasen, President of IO Global; which is a technology and engineering company that builds blockchains and cryptocurrencies for government entities, enterprises, and academic institutions
  • Michele Romanow, a resident “Dragon”, on CBC Dragons’ Den and Co-Founder and Executive Chairperson of Clearco, a company that provides equity-free capital solutions to e-commerce businesses
  • Anthony Di Iorio, Founder of Andiami, Decentral, and Ethereum
  • Jaime Leverton, CEO of Hut 8, an innovation-focused digital asset miner
  • Ethan Buchman, Co-Founder of Cosmos, a state-of-the-art blockchain framework 
  • Miko Matsumara, General Partner at gumi Cryptos Capital, a blockchain and cryptographic asset fund
  • Lisa Loud, Co-Founder and CEO of FLUIEFI, a DEFI company for institutional investors
  • Sascha Darius Mojtahedi, Co-Founder of Parallel, a DeFi company

Beyond the speakers, the ETHToronto and ETHWomen Hackathons will take over a month leading up to Blockchain Futurist Conference. The hackathons workshops, mentorship, mock judging and networking will take place onsite on August 15-16 at Rebel Entertainment Complex and Cabana.  This second annual Web3 hackathon, ETHToronto, is a free community event (https://ibn.fm/IqzqF). The first ever ETHWomen Hackathon is a female-focused, inclusive hackathon series that is part of the ETHToronto and Blockchain Futurist Conference (https://ibn.fm/mu6lp). Apply for free to any of the hackathons and receive free tickets to the conference.

By combining carefully curated presentations and discussions, NFT galleries, boot camps and workshops, expo booths, and networking events into a well-thought-out two-day event, Untraceable Events, the organizers of the 5th annual Blockchain Futurist Conference, ETHToronto, ETHWomen and Canada Crypto Week will indeed promise a crypto experience like no other.
