Diversification is critical to investment success for many reasons: stable returns, risk reduction, and protection against market volatility. With these principles in mind, RJD Green (OTC: RJDG) a holding company, manages assets in three diverse, high-growth industries in separate “recession-resistant” markets, including construction, digital healthcare services, and environmental solutions.

RJDG formed its specialty construction division to focus on industrial contracting, building material products, and construction services. The company’s first acquisition, Silex Interiors, is a manufacturer, distributor, and installer of countertops, cabinets, and related bathroom and kitchen products with a large target market comprising commercial contractors, residential builders, new and renovation contractors, and retail customers. With the aim of filling a market niche between “big box” stores and smaller retail distributors, RJDG plans to launch Silex into major national markets through internal expansion, franchising, and supplementary acquisitions.

Silex was awarded a large contract for natural stone countertops and cabinets in May 2023 that is expected to generate over $850,000 in revenue (https://ibn.fm/olu6H). “This significant commercial contract awarded to Silex continues the revenue progression in our commercial business segment and reflects geographic expansion,” said RJD Green CEO Ron Brewer. “The commercial contracts have helped offset the traditional seasonal revenue downturn that occurs in our home building sector and will contribute to revenue growth for the remainder of the year. These results reflect our continued implementation of our growth plan for Silex Holdings to expand market segments and broaden our customer base.”

ioSoft Inc., a software company under RJDG’s software division, provides secure payment technologies, cloud-based software, and professional services to healthcare payers and providers. The company’s SaaS offerings integrate seamlessly with legacy or existing systems, offering clients a flexible, scalable, cloud-based solution for managing medical billing, healthcare claims adjudication, and electronic payments.

RJD Green recently announced that ioSoft procured a software development and IT support contract for the RailPro Group, a consulting and marketing team focused on retail marketing and energy-related companies (https://ibn.fm/j7bNy). Under the agreement, ioSoft will customize the ioSoft Suite’s platform, including its ioSoft Unified Payment System(TM) and ioSoft LinkUp(TM) – a robust communication interface enabling users to view claim information, update enrollment, and access ID cards 24/7 from any connected device.

Earthlinc Environmental Solutions, part of RJDG’s environmental services division, provides North American companies with green solutions to ecological challenges. The company’s first acquisition, Animal Waste Management, offers patented waste processing technology for commercial chicken and hog farms. Developed with support from the University of Arkansas and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the technology transforms liquid, solid, and gas waste into clean, odorless, bacteria-free animal feed while recycling the water to be reused on the farm.

Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, RJD Green Inc.’s management team leverages a successful track record in the public and private sectors, with extensive experience in each area of focus under its diverse divisions. The team expertly matches investments with projects to optimize growth, profitability, and shareholder returns.

Business leaders today are faced with a myriad of solutions to consider for integration into their organization’s IT infrastructure, many of which are critical in achieving meaningful operational efficiency and business advantage. One of the most promising yet perplexing solutions is quantum computing. Most businesses are faced with a vast array of optimization problems, but solving those challenges efficiently can be incredibly challenging. D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, focuses on solving such challenges by delivering value to customers through practical quantum solutions for problems such as logistics, artificial intelligence, drug discovery, scheduling, and financial modeling.

As a leader in quantum computing, D-Wave has delivered the world’s first commercial quantum computer, the first real-time quantum cloud service, countless highly proprietary hardware and software products, and numerous scientific milestones. These innovations serve to help organizations harness the power of quantum technology to address their most computationally complex problems and to help business leaders recognize when to consider quantum over classical computing to tackle their biggest challenges.

Classical computers offer limited computation – using bits represented by 0s and 1s to store information. Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) to encode information as 0s and 1s with the ability to use them simultaneously. This superposition, along with other quantum mechanical phenomena and tunneling, enables quantum computers to manipulate enormous combinations all at once.

When using classical computers, business leaders are faced with the inability to search multiple avenues for solutions to complex problems – the solutions are often time-consuming and may never come to fruition. D-Wave’s quantum computer uses quantum annealing to search for solutions to these problems, with the goal of ultimately finding the best solutions without waiting weeks or months for an answer.

D-Wave’s current commercial quantum product offerings include:

  • Advantage – a fifth-generation quantum computer featuring 15-way qubit connections and processor architecture with more than 5,000 qubits.

Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) NanoAbs for Psoriasis Treatment May Offer Significant Advantages Over Apogee

  • About 125 million people worldwide have psoriasis, a chronic disease where the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly
  • The psoriasis treatment market is expected to reach $48.33 billion by 2030, driven by an increase in diagnosed patients and the prevalence of skin disorders in developed nations
  • Scinai’s NanoAbs targeting the IL-17 family of cytokines, which have shown promise in treating psoriasis, may offer significant advantages over Apogee Therapeutics, whose recent IPO has resulted in a $1 billion market cap
  • Scinai’s NanoAbs offer additional routes of administration, a higher affinity and binding to the target, and stability at room temperature – key differentiators to currently available treatments on the market today

Psoriasis is a chronic disease in which the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. According to the National Psoriasis Foundation, 125 million people worldwide have psoriasis. Nearly 50% of people with psoriasis experience moderate to severe symptoms (https://ibn.fm/jgqwh). The psoriasis treatment market was valued at $16.45 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8%, reaching $48.33 billion by 2030. The market’s growth is attributed to the number of patients diagnosed with psoriasis and an increasing prevalence of skin disorders in developed nations (https://ibn.fm/0rr6U).

Antibodies and nanobodies against the IL-17 (Interleukin-17) cytokine and other family cytokines are showing success in the treatment of psoriasis and associated immune diseases. Scinai Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: SCNI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative inflammation and immunology (I&I) biological products primarily for the treatment of autoimmune and infectious diseases, in collaboration with Max Planck Society and the University Medical Center Gottingen, has signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement to develop and commercialize VHH antibodies (NanoAbs) targeting IL-17 as treatments for all potential indications, starting with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

In addition to Scinai, Apogee Therapeutics (NASDAQ: APGE), a biotechnology company advancing differentiated biologics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other inflammatory and immunological indications, is also targeting IL-17 for psoriasis treatment. Apogee went public in July 2023 at $500 million pre-money, raising $300 million in an upsized deal, and now exceeds a $1 billion market cap.

Both companies are currently in the pre-clinical stage of development – but Scinai believes that its NanoAbs exhibit multiple advantages over Apogee’s product, including:

  • Being amenable to new routes of administration – including inhalation and intradermal injection, neither of which work with regular antibodies. Scinai’s NanoAbs potentially create a new market opportunity that does not directly compete with other companies with existing antibody treatments by targeting the large, underserved population of patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.
  • Higher affinity and better binding suggest that Scinai’s NanoAbs may permit lower dosages with fewer side effects by providing a higher affinity and better binding to the target, lowering the costs associated with treatment.
  • Stability at room temperature – Regular antibodies require complex cold chain logistics until administered to the patient. These treatments are more expensive and limit where and when treatment can be administered, leading to high spoilage. Scinai’s NanoAbs are stable at room temperature, expanding the opportunity for administration and reducing spoilage.

Scinai’s alpaca-derived NanoAbs offer a significant advantage to the underserved population, especially those with mild to moderate psoriasis. Its product potentially offers advantages that Apogee’s product cannot and significantly enhances the route of administration, binding to the target, and an increased window of administration.

The company’s leadership team includes former senior executives from Novartis, GSK, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. It has built, owns, and operates a 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art GMP biologics manufacturing facility that houses laboratories, production facilities, and offices, giving the company a unique advantage in the industry.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.’s (NASDAQ: LEXX) Investigational Research Programs Position the Company for Important Partnership Opportunities and Growth

  • Lexaria Bioscience has completed several studies that confirm and support the superiority and advantages of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology over traditional oral delivery methods
  • The company recently announced results from its human oral nicotine study NIC-H22-1 comparing its DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch to world-leading brands, Zyn(R) and on!(R)
  • Results from the study demonstrated that DehydraTECH-nicotine was statistically significantly faster in reaching Tmax than both brands
  • Lexaria has also undertaken other investigational research programs, including the analysis and execution of hypertension, diabetes, hormone therapy, and dementia studies, which could birth excellent partnership opportunities, supporting further growth
  • A report by Zacks Investment Research discussed the nicotine study alongside Lexaria’s other recent milestones, maintaining a $12.00 price target

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator seeking to enhance the bioavailability of multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients using its patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology platform, continues to devote an increasing proportion of its resources and focus toward research and development (“R&D”) as part of its overall goal to establish areas of investigation for commercial pursuits and reduce risks of the unknown for both commercial and regulatory goals.

In the three months ended May 31, 2023 (“Q3 2023”), for example, the company increased its R&D expenses 118% year over year to $1.64 million in Q3 2023 from $752,095 in Q3 2022, with a recent Zacks Investment Research report attributing this expenditure to Lexaria’s multiple DehydraTECH investigational research programs then underway, including analysis and execution of hypertension, nicotine, and diabetes studies (https://ibn.fm/vy8qj). The report also lauded the company’s efficient use of capital, which allowed its R&D activities to expand into new preclinical work, including hormone therapy and dementia.

“While still at an early stage, these programs could be excellent partnership opportunities that will support further growth and potentially provide growth capital,” reads the report (https://ibn.fm/0L40v). “Research efforts around these indications help further characterize DehydraTECH-CBD and its advantages compared with traditional delivery methods.”

The company has completed several studies confirming and supporting DehydraTECH’s superiority and advantages over traditional oral delivery methods. One such study, the human nicotine study NIC-H22-1, compared its DehydraTECH-processed nicotine tobacco-free pouch to two oral nicotine pouch brands, Zyn(R) (from Swedish Match) and on!(R) (from Helix Innovations LLC, a subsidiary of Altria Group Inc.) The randomized, double-blinded, crossover study involved 36 subjects, each dosed three times over several weeks. In May, the company announced that the dosing of the 36 patients was completed and, in early August, issued a press release announcing topline results.

Results from the study demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the time taken to achieve maximum blood saturation levels (“Tmax”) for DehydraTECH-nicotine and both Zyn and on! “Time to Tmax of 15.37 minutes was 2.3 minutes faster than what was produced in the on! arm and 3.1 minutes faster than the time measured in the Zyn arm. In percentage terms, this represented a 15% and 20% faster response to achieve maximum blood saturation levels,” summarizes the report.

Lexaria also used as a benchmark the Tmax to be reached with a combustible cigarette, citing a pharmacokinetic study that put the figure at 8 minutes. “Relative to this benchmark, the company put together a comparison of other nicotine delivery methods, including the data generated from the NIC-H22-1 study. Of the eight comparable vehicles, DehydraTECH oral pouch was the fastest to Tmax relative to combustible cigarettes,” the report continues.

The study also evaluated qualitative aspects of DehydraTECH-nicotine, reporting its superiority across six different categories that examined the desirable and undesirable attributes of nicotine consumption. The categories included euphoria and head rush, tolerability, pleasure, mouth and throat burn, nausea, and hiccups. With these positive results in hand, Zacks expects that partner work with global tobacco juggernauts will expand.

“Within just five short years of R&D and product development, Lexaria has been able to develop an oral nicotine product that meets or exceeds the performance of the world’s leading existing brands,” commented Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka in an August 9 press release (https://ibn.fm/NS89s). “This is a remarkable achievement that speaks to the capabilities of the DehydraTECH technology and also to the Lexaria R&D team, working ardently with scarce resources relative to global multi-billion-dollar behemoths.”

Zacks’ report also covered Lexaria’s other recent milestones, including the move to incorporate a new wholly owned subsidiary called Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp. The move is intended to optimize the company’s strategy, helping maximize the potential for its DehydraTECH technology in multiple markets worldwide. Moreover, the report discussed Lexaria’s recent publications, patents, and capital raise, as well as details from its hypertension and diabetes studies.

With the recently released nicotine data preparing Lexaria to enter into discussions with prospective partners and its hypertension program on course to result in an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application, Zacks maintains a price target of $12.00 per share.

RVL Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: RVLP) to Attend H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference and Discuss UPNEEQ(R) for Treating Acquired Blepharoptosis

  • RVL Pharmaceuticals’ CEO Brian Markison and COO JD Schaub will participate in a fireside chat and 1-on-1 investor meetings on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, during this year’s H.C. Wainwright Annual Global Investment Conference in New York City
  • The company will discuss UPNEEQ(R) and its use as the first non-surgical treatment option approved by the FDA for acquired blepharoptosis
  • RVL Pharmaceuticals plans to continue marketing to medical aesthetics providers and will launch a direct-to-consumer campaign later this year
  • The medical aesthetics market was valued at $13.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $23.4 billion by 2027

RVL Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RVLP), a specialty pharmaceutical company, recently announced that its CEO Brian Markison will be participating in a fireside chat and hosting 1-on-1 investor meetings during the H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York City on Tuesday, September 12, 2023. Mr. Markison will be discussing the company and its commercialization of UPNEEQ(R) (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, which is available by prescription for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis, also known as ptosis or low-lying eyelid(s), in adults (https://ibn.fm/097y6).

UPNEEQ(R) is the first non-surgical treatment option approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for acquired blepharoptosis. The company obtained the necessary FDA approvals in July 2020 – launching UPNEEQ(R) in September 2020 to a limited number of eye care professionals. The company began expanding its commercial operations in 2021 to include ophthalmology, optometry, and oculoplastic specialties. In 2022, UPNEEQ(R) was launched into the U.S. medical aesthetics market.

In 2022, the global medical aesthetics market had an estimated value of $13.9 billion. By 2027, the estimated value is expected to reach $23.4 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 11%. The market’s projected growth is attributed to the rising preference for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures over traditional surgical options (https://ibn.fm/Ny5DV).

UPNEEQ(R), the first and only FDA-approved eye drop for low-lying eyelids, fits into the non-invasive medical aesthetics category. With a single drop per day, clinical trials showed an average of one-millimeter lift to the upper eyelid, improving appearance and the superior visual field in patients with a functional deficit. Testing also showed that UPNEEQ(R) was well tolerated by participants and is safe; side effects were similar to those experienced in the placebo group.

RVL Pharmaceuticals believes that the growth in the medical aesthetics and eye care markets will be driven by an aging population and an increased life expectancy, resulting in more consumers who desire improved appearance and well-being over a longer period. The company also anticipates other contributing factors that include the growing awareness, utilization, and improved accessibility of treatments due to an increase in physicians offering eye care and medical aesthetics services.

Low-lying lids can affect adults of all ages. A survey conducted by eye care providers and medical aesthetics specialists revealed they believe that approximately half of the adult patients visiting their practices are affected by drooping or low-lying eyelids. RVL Pharmaceuticals estimates that approximately 60% of adult women self-identify as having some degree of ptosis, indicating that they are bothered by the position of their eyelids.

UPNEEQ(R) customers include optometrists, ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and a broad range of practitioners qualified to diagnose and treat acquired blepharoptosis in adults. Patients can purchase UPNEEQ(R) directly from eye care, medical aesthetic professionals, or RVL Pharmaceuticals’ wholly owned pharmacy, RVL Pharmacy LLC. To support patients, RVL Pharmaceuticals launched the Elevate platform this year, which enables UPNEEQ(R) orders and subscription refills across HCP practices and RVL Pharmacy patients.

RVL Pharmaceuticals’ near-term focus is to continue the rollout of UPNEEQ(R) into the medical aesthetics market through its dedicated sales force. RVL is focused on raising patient and provider awareness of acquired ptosis through medical conferences, HCP and direct-to-consumer advertising, social media, and marketing partnerships.

The company’s fireside chat at the H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference will be webcast and available live and via replay from the RVL Pharmaceuticals website under the Investors & News section. The playback will be accessible for up to 90 days after the conference’s conclusion.

Electronic Servitor Publication Network Inc. (XESP) Creating Digital Experiences that Elevate Customer Response

  • XESP continues to affirm its commitment to optimizing companies’ growth, mainly through its managed service that offers digital activation and engagement solutions
  • Its proprietary technology, the Digital Engagement Engine(TM), which utilizes automation, unique data management, and a modern workflow, has proven to offer what no other competitor offers in the market
  • This product is founded on critical principles integral to building customer loyalty, among them the importance of meeting customers’ demands for the modern digital experience
  • Through this proprietary technology, XESP offers a solution that makes addressing the changing consumer demands a lot easier, faster, and more efficient

Electronic Servitor Publication Network (OTCQB: XESP), is a digital engagement company and a market disruptor offering cutting-edge data analysis and intelligent technology to help enterprises reach their target markets. Through its managed service, which offers digital activation and engagement solutions, the company looks to provide superior intelligent interaction management, dynamic content provisioning, and a logic-driven workflow, all tested avenues for elevating customer experiences and response.

XESP is focused on the use of evolving technologies to increase customer reach and spur organizational growth. The company’s proprietary technology, the Digital Engagement Engine(TM), is an example of the company’s focus on solutions that directly address clients’ digital engagement needs.

By utilizing a combination of automation, unique data management, and a modern workflow built on a microservices architecture, XESP can offer what no competitor offers in the market. The company has differentiated itself through this technology, offering a unique value proposition.

“The Digital Engagement Engine(TM) isn’t just another marketing or technology tool; it’s a way to develop real connections with target markets.”

A recent Destination CRM article written by Trey Simonton of MadCap Software points to 4 ways for building customer loyalty (https://ibn.fm/VvNRK):

  1. Meet customers’ demands for modern digital experiences
  2. Leverage online guides to upsell related offerings
  3. Use online tutorials and guides to attract new customers
  4. Support growing customer calls for sustainability

XESP’s offering is founded on such basic principles, serving as the building blocks for the managed services the company provides and how it tailors its Digital Engagement Engine specifically to the needs of the intended customer.

For starters, for a business to build customer loyalty, it must more effectively meet customer demands, specifically for the modern digital experience that defines the industry today. With more sales being conducted online, digital experiences can no longer be ignored. In 2022, over 21% of global retail sales were all conducted online. This amounted to $5.7 trillion, with 2.14 billion people shopping online in 2020 (https://ibn.fm/n71pq). Meeting these people’s demands for the modern digital experience makes a massive difference between a successful and failed business today.

Another principle is leveraging online guides to upsell related offerings. With more customers today preferring self-service over calling a support center, more businesses are moving toward enabling this functionality, although live personal interactions can be kept as one of the options. XESP, through its technology, is helping to refine the process, offering innovative solutions that present offers for related products tailored to specific customers, their purchase history, and overall preferences.

This of course also complements the growing customer calls for sustainability, with 79% of consumers pushing for brands to focus on developing working practices that consider the environment.

As consumer demands continue to evolve, especially in this digital age, more businesses are learning the importance of the internet and are being forced to cater to the changing consumer demands. XESP, through its proprietary technology, offers a solution that makes the entire process easier, faster, and more efficient, with a guarantee of elevating customer experiences. By offering meaningful customer interactions, businesses can realize growth, higher customer retention, and customer satisfaction in the long run.

“That meaningful interaction drives a greater relationship with your audience and trust,” noted Peter Hager, XESP’s CEO. “Ultimately, it drives greater growth in your organization and, very simply put, replicates what you do face-to-face. And if we can do that online, which the Digital Engagement Engine helps you do, you’re going to produce better results,” he added (https://ibn.fm/1501i).

CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) Looking Forward to Upcoming Interim Results for Potentially Pivotal GBM Study

  • CNS Pharmaceuticals recently announced updated results from its pivotal clinical study on GBM treatment through its lead drug candidate, Berubicin
  • The novel anthracycline demonstrated its capability to be an innovative potential treatment option for GBM
  • 151 patients have been enrolled in the study, marking the data cutoff point and a significant milestone toward reporting topline results before the end of the year
  • Based on the results seen preclinically, the company remains optimistic that Berubicin may provide a much-needed clinical benefit for GBM patients

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments with a focus on brain cancer, glioblastoma (“GBM”), and neuro-oncology, recently announced the presentation of updated safety results from its potentially pivotal clinical study on GBM treatment through its lead drug candidate, Berubicin. Most notably, this novel anthracycline demonstrated its capability to be a safe and innovative potential treatment option for GBM, having shown aspects integral to effective therapy for the disease (https://ibn.fm/yp5AC).

“Berubicin has demonstrated its capability to be an innovative treatment in GBM that is safe and well tolerated, which has the potential to be a novel and effective therapy for this disease,” noted Sandra Silberman, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of CNS Pharmaceuticals.

So far, 151 patients have been enrolled in the clinical study, with 105 set on Berubicin while the remaining 46 will be on Lomustine. This marks the data cutoff point for CNS Pharmaceuticals, a significant milestone toward reporting topline results before the end of the year.

“We are approaching the most important milestone to date since we launched CNS Pharma,” noted John Climaco, CNS Pharmaceuticals’ CEO.

“We are just a few months away from reporting topline results from our Berubicin potentially pivotal study interim analysis and, although we do not know what the data looks like at this time, we remain hopeful as we also approach full enrollment of the trial,” he added (https://ibn.fm/0Yy0n).

The primary endpoint of this study is Overall Survival (“OS”), a goal that the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has recognized as the basis for approval of oncology drugs when a statistically significant improvement can be shown relative to a randomized control arm. Approximately 50% of patients on both arms have completed the study, with each showing comparable demographics, including age, race, gender, KPS, and BSA. Based on the results seen preclinically and in the clinical study thus far, the company remains optimistic that Berubicin may provide a much-needed clinical benefit for GBM patients.

“Based on the results we’ve seen preclinically and in the clinic thus far, including these updated results from our ongoing potentially pivotal study, we remain optimistic that Berubicin may provide a much-needed clinical benefit for GBM patients,” noted Dr. Silberman.

The FDA has already granted CNS Pharmaceuticals Fast Track Designation for Berubicin, allowing it more frequent interactions with the agency, both for guidance and review. In addition, the company has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA, affording it seven years of marketing exclusivity upon approval of an NDA. Progress from its ongoing study is inching closer to enjoying these benefits and more, and its management is optimistic that it will offer a more viable treatment option for GBM than what is already in the market.
