  • InMed announced a non-binding letter of intent to acquire BayMedica Inc.
  • The move is designed to grow InMed’s market presence and strengthen its operations
  • The two companies have had a reciprocal research collaboration that dates back to November 2020
  • InMed looks to capitalize on the growing cannabinoid industry that is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21.2% from 2021 to 2028
InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM) is a clinical-stage company committed to developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates. It also manufactures technologies for pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids. It is known for creating a pipeline of cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates to treat various diseases with high unmet medical needs. In a move to grow its market presence and strengthen its operations, the company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire BayMedica Inc. (https://ibn.fm/WJSW5). This announcement followed the two parties’ reciprocal Research Collaboration Agreement back in November 2020, which saw them collaborate on several projects since (https://ibn.fm/WJSW5). The agreement allowed BayMedica to assess particular elements of InMed’s proprietary IntegraSyn(TM) approach in producing cannabinoids.

The company is targeting additional rare cannabinoid launches for 2022. InMed is committed to becoming a leader in the cannabinoid sector. This move to acquire BayMedica confirms its ambition, along with the successful collaboration that the two companies have had so far.

First Results from Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Study Show Marked Gains in Blood Pressure Reduction over Generic CBD Controls

  • Drug delivery platform developer Lexaria Bioscience has developed its patented DehydraTECH(TM) as a means of transforming pharmaceuticals that increases their bioavailability and speed of efficacy
  • Ongoing testing of DehydraTECH in combination with cannabidiol (“CBD”) is analyzing DehydraTECH’s responsiveness to hypertension conditions that are targeted in heart disease and stroke therapies
  • Partial results from the company’s first study indicate Lexaria’s DehydraTECH platform, when processed with CBD, reduces blood pressure and does so much more rapidly when compared with the generic CBD controls
  • The complete results of the study will be produced as sample and data analyses work are completed
  • Lexaria is already under way on a second study that examines the efficacy of DehydraTECH-enabled CBD in repeat dosing, and the company anticipates positive outcomes based on the partial results of the first study that were just released
Ongoing clinical studies of the DehydraTECH platform’s ability to render therapeutic drugs into a powder or liquid form that increases their ability to be rapidly absorbed by the body without adverse changes to the original substances have yielded important new findings on the blood pressure and heart disease fronts. Bioavailability technology innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX)  announced partial results from its human clinical study HYPER-H21-1 on July 29, which is evaluating cannabidiol (“CBD”) processed with DehydraTECH, to determine its potential against hypertension. The initial results show DehydraTECH-enabled CBD produced a reduction in blood pressure in both male and female volunteers and was most pronounced in comparison against generic CBD controls during the first 10 to 50 minutes after administration, adding to Lexaria’s evidences that DehydraTECH-enabled drugs take effect more rapidly than generic controls, according to the company’s news release (https://ibn.fm/ps9d7). “We are very encouraged by these early results in our 2021 hypertension program. Lexaria’s technology enabled a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure, especially systolic pressure and particularly in Stage 2 hypertensive volunteers,” Lexaria CEO Chris Bunka stated in the news release. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women and most classifications of people divided by racial and ethnic groups in the United States. One in every four deaths is attributed to heart disease alone, and the costs of related health care, medicines and lost job productivity exceed $200 billion each year (https://ibn.fm/obXUx). Multiple studies involving people with high, average and below-average levels of blood pressure have shown that lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke in all of those categories, which is a basis for prescribing blood-pressure-reducing drugs to the population at large based on risk factors of age and prior heart disease events regardless of periodic blood pressure checkup results (https://ibn.fm/C0y58). Blood pressure drugs and related medications have thereby resulted in a multi-billion-dollar industry. Lexaria’s partial results show its greatest comparative reduction from baseline was in systolic pressure, but there were also marked reductions in relative diastolic pressure from baseline and relative mean arterial pressure from baseline against the generic CBD controls. “Other studies of coronary heart disease (‘CHD’) have concluded that ‘lowering systolic pressure by 10 mm Hg or diastolic pressure by 5 mm Hg using any of the main classes of drugs reduced CHD events (fatal and nonfatal) by about a quarter and stroke by about a third, regardless of the presence or absence of vascular disease and of pretreatment BP. Heart failure is also reduced by about 25%,” Lexaria’s news release states. The company also noted that all of the study’s participants tolerated the DehydraTECH-enabled CBD without any serious adverse events or side effects, while some participants who used the concentration-matched, generic CBD control reported unwanted side effects such as gastrointestinal distress including diarrhea. Lexaria will provide an update on this study when sample and data analyses work for are complete. The company is optimistic that the partial results reported thus far are predictive of further enhanced efficacy through repeat dosing being analyzed in its second human clinical hypertension study, HYPER-H21-2, which is already under way (https://ibn.fm/j5sG0). A third planned human clinical hypertension study will be conducted this year once the results of HYPER-H21-1 and HYPER-H21-2 are carefully evaluated. The company also anticipates inflammatory marker assessments may ultimately be applicable to its research in the antiviral therapeutics space for potentially treating COVID-19 and other common pro-inflammatory conditions. Lexaria has already successfully demonstrated DehydraTECH usefulness in that area (https://ibn.fm/N6H6u). For more information, visit the company’s website at www.LexariaBioscience.com.

AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: ANPC) Announces Testing Volume Increase for First Half of 2021

  • Total number of paid tests and paid cancer tests increased significantly in Q2 over Q1
  • The company’s approach to multi-cancer screening is called Cancer Differentiation Analysis (“CDA”) that is powered by a database of over 200,000 samples and cases, changing the way to approach disease and cancer screenings
  • The global cancer diagnostics market size is expected to reach $249.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period
AnPac Bio-Medical Science (NASDAQ: ANPC), a biotechnology company focused on early cancer screening, detection, and cancer treatment, announced that it experienced strong growth in test volume in the first half of 2021. The total number of paid customers and testing volume increased almost 110% compared to the same period in 2020. Additionally, Q2 saw the total of paid tests and paid cancer tests increase by approximately 280% and 270%, respectively. The company has also seen growth in the new test products that it had launched in 2020 (https://ibn.fm/Josef). AnPac is a highly innovative company and an early thought leader, developing multi-cancer screening technology, which has gained significant acceptance. The company’s approach, Cancer Differentiation Analysis (“CDA”), uses the natural biophysical properties of blood and cellular proteins to discover cancerous environments within the body before the tumors form. The CDA is powered by a database of over 200,000 samples and cases, serving as a new way to approach disease and cancer screenings. The device uses an integrated system of sensors to detect biophysical signals at the cellular, protein, and molecular level. CDA uses a proprietary algorithm to synthesize data, generating a personalized risk assessment for evaluating patients. “We are incredibly pleased with our strong test volume growth in the first half of 2021. We believe that our cost-effective, multi-cancer, high-performance cancer test packages are gaining increased customer and market acceptance,” AnPac CEO, Dr. Chris Yu, said while commenting on the testing volume increase. “We will work hard to continue commercialization in China and to achieve LDT approval in the U.S., allowing us to further accelerate our revenue growth.” With the significant market opportunities, increased customer and market acceptance, and given that historically the company has seen stronger test volume in the second half of the year compared to the year prior, AnPac expects the strong growth standard to continue through the remaining part of the year. The company has already made notable contributions to the cancer screening field. Compared to its industry peers, AnPac has 142 issued patents as of March 2021, whereas GRAIL, Inc. has 80 patents, and Thrive Earlier Detection Corp. only has 1 filed patent. As an early thought leader, the patent applications and IP for the company started in the early 2010s. By 2014, AnPac had already announced that the cancer detection product it developed was capable of screening 16 types of cancer, which was earlier than anyone else. These achievements help position AnPac as a leading entity on the global cancer diagnostics market, an expanding market expected to reach $249.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the innovation of new products and the rising urgency for early cancer detection. The rise in cancer incidents is demanding better screening and modalities used for monitoring disease progression (https://ibn.fm/3Vylk). Through its CDA technology, AnPac aims to tackle multiple aspects and challenges of the industry, including innovation, detection, identity, results, and biophysical properties. Through the test samples, CDA has been able to diagnose and identify pre- and early-stage cancers in patients that were previously diagnosed as cancer-free through traditional methods.

RYAH Group Inc. (CSE: RYAH) Sees Important Trends in Sports Medicine and Plant-Therapy

  • As U.S. research restrictions are lifted there is a rising interest in the use of plant-therapy in sports medicine
  • Cannabis in sports medicine took center stage at the Tokyo Olympics
  • American athletes are turning more and more to cannabis as a pain reliever, alternative to opioids, and part of an overall sports recovery plan
RYAH Group (CSE: RYAH) (formerly RYAH Medtech), the leader in dose-control technology for plant-based medicine, works with researchers to provide a full turnkey solution for clinical studies from start to finish. RYAH Group’s dose-control devices standardize the dosing protocol, QR products ensure compliance, and mobile apps collect the necessary data. As research restrictions throughout the U.S. lift, RYAH Group is standing by, ready to provide IoT hardware, software, and data analytics that reduce variations in patient-related clinical trials. One of the areas that the U.S. is poised to explore is cannabis in sports medicine. Cannabis in sports medicine is a controversial topic and is often not tolerated in professional and collegiate organizations. However, it’s also a topic that took center stage during this year’s Tokyo Olympics. The World Anti-Doping Agency (“WADA”) removing CBD as a prohibited substance in 2017 combined with the 2018 Farm Bill helped change the conversation around CBD use for athletes. As a result, American athletes are turning more and more to cannabis as a pain reliever, alternative to opioids, and part of a recovery plan. Megan Rapinoe is an advocate for the use of CBDs in sports recovery. She has incorporated it into her everyday recovery plan but was unable to continue while competing in Tokyo. Rapinoe shared that not being able to take the products she has been using to manage her pain, inflammation, mood, and sleep at the Olympics is “quite frustrating.” “We’re expected to perform on the biggest stages and highest levels, yet we can’t use all-natural products to help us recover,” stated Rapinoe (https://ibn.fm/ExEkd). “It’s not right, and these policies need to be changed to reflect where our culture is.” The NFL is leading the way forward in exploring the benefits of plant-therapy for players. The NFL and the NFL Players Association (“NFLPA”) announced on June 8, 2021, they are investing $1 million in funding for novel pain treatments that include cannabis and CBD therapy (https://ibn.fm/GiVM9). They will be providing five research grants to eligible applicants by November of 2021. From 2014 to 2020, the NFL had 801 injures and a 30 percent jump in reported concussions. The NFL is looking for alternatives to opioids, and it seeks out answers to the effectiveness, dosing requirements, and effect of the performance alterations of cannabis. Until now, there hasn’t been studies done regarding sports medicine directly. The NFLPA is changing this. Sports organizations across the U.S. must rethink their strict policies with the legalization of recreational and medicinal cannabis across the U.S. The good news is that with these new studies around plant therapy in sports medicine, a new era of pain management and recovery accepted by sports organizations worldwide may lie right around the corner for athletes like Rapinoe. RYAH Group is working alongside researchers globally, providing a holistic approach to therapeutic plant treatment and unlocking the data from seed to consumption. The company’s in-depth analytical reports help to identify significant trends, like the one in sports medicine, in plant therapy For more information, visit the company’s website at www.RYAHGroup.com.

reAlpha Is ‘One to Watch’

  • The company has the ability to rent out properties on Airbnb at scale
  • reAlpha has raised more than $6 million in two funding rounds led by $1.3 billion real estate group Crawford Hoying
  • As of July 2021, reAlpha is testing the waters on a Reg A public offering to raise $75 million
  • The company plans to spend $1.5 billion to acquire short-term rental properties
  • reAlpha’s use of technology and relationships with lending institutions allow it to analyze thousands of properties per minute and purchase hundreds of properties at a time
  • reAlpha forecasts annual revenue of $434 million by 2025
  • The total asset value of the global short-term rental property market is estimated at $1.2 trillion
reAlpha is the Robinhood of Airbnb investments, representing the intersection of modern technology and lasting assets. A new wave of investment opportunities in real estate has emerged, and Airbnb short-term rentals are changing hospitality and travel on a global scale. Previously, only accredited investors have had access to the best real estate deals, but reAlpha is democratizing this lucrative new model, empowering anyone to generate wealth as a reAlpha member. reAlpha uses its proprietary, disruptive technologies to level the playing field, unraveling the industry’s high barriers to entry and bringing the power of real estate investing to the “99 percent.” The company’s unique model allows investors to benefit from both the superior returns of short-term rental income and increases in property value through renovation and appreciating markets. reAlpha likens this double investment return to seeing two desserts on a dinner menu and ordering both. The company seeks to open up access to real estate investing by letting regular people buy fractional ownership of short-term rentals using reAlpha’s smartphone app. The reAlpha app simplifies the real estate investing process. In the app, investors can check out the company’s most current properties offered for investment. If they choose to invest, they become members of a syndicate invested in a specific short-term rental property. Syndicate members receive quarterly dividend payments from rental revenue generated by the property in which they invested. The reAlpha model merges the most historically stable asset – real estate – with technology and the sharing-economy business model of the future – Airbnb. The company handles all property management functions and believes short-term rentals are no longer purely transactional and occupancy-driven. reAlpha reimagines the entire guest experience end-to-end to make sure the reAlphaHouse is the ultimate on-demand rental property. The company plans to implement various technologies, including smart locks, voice-activated electronics, home automation systems, and innovative furnishings, to create an unparalleled guest experience. When guests have exceptional stays, investors enjoy maximized profits. How it Works reAlpha has identified specific markets in which to purchase short-term rentals across the globe. The company prefers to buy 100 to 500 properties in each market. reAlpha uses artificial intelligence technology, dubbed reAlphaBRAIN, to select “unicorn properties,” the best available opportunities in the market for investment. The AI software can quickly evaluate thousands of property listings based on 25+ factors and assign each a reAlphaScore, projecting how Airbnb Viable the property is, as well as its projected value in the housing market. For a minimum investment of $2,500, an investor can purchase equity in a specific reAlpha property, similar to how they would buy stock or shares in a company. reAlpha matches the investor with other like-minded backers to form a syndicate, so together they can cover a down payment on the selected property. Investment properties usually require a down payment of 25 percent of the purchase price, but, with reAlpha properties, the down payment is only 10 percent because of the company’s relationships with lenders, making the initial investment more affordable. reAlpha maintains a majority stake in each investment syndicate, retaining 51 percent ownership in each purchased property and ensuring their interests are always aligned with investing members. Properties are typically refinanced after 12 to 16 months, freeing equity for reinvestment in additional properties. The company uses its AI software to predict optimum timing to sell properties in order to extract maximum value for investors. Gains are reinvested in additional properties. However, reAlpha also believes that real estate investing is more than financial returns. It includes the pride of ownership and the freedom of financial security. reAlpha members have access to their property when it is not rented out on Airbnb. The company is driven every day to create not only lucrative returns for its members but also to deliver exceptional experiences and positive impact in the communities in which reAlpha lives and operates. Market Outlook There are an estimated 7.4 million short-term rental properties worldwide. The total asset value of this global market is projected at $1.2 trillion. In the U.S. there are about 1.8 million short-term rental properties. These have an estimated asset value of $933 billion.

FingerMotion Inc. (FNGR) Applies for NASDAQ Uplisting

  • FingerMotion recently announced it has submitted an application to be uplisted to NASDAQ
  • The company believes listing its shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which is subject to approval and fulfillment of applicable requirements, will improve liquidity, increase its corporate visibility, and enhance shareholder value
  • FingerMotion’s first upgrade came in February 2019, when it announced it had been uplisted and approved to trade on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace
  • In January 2021, the company was again uplisted to the OTCQX, where it currently trades and will continue trading until its application to join the NASDAQ is approved
FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR), an evolving technology company with core competence in SMS/MMS as well as mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China, recently announced it has applied to have its shares of common stock listed on Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to NASDAQ’s approval and fulfillment of all applicable listing, governance, and regulatory requirements (https://ibn.fm/7quFq). “Over the past year, we have been working diligently to comply with certain uplisting requirements,” said FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen. “Applying for a NASDAQ listing is a key milestone in our company’s evolution. We believe listing our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market will improve liquidity, increase our corporate visibility, and enhance shareholder value.” If approved, Shen noted, the uplisting will see FingerMotion join the ranks of global technology companies listed in the US. It will also mark stellar progress whose beginning, outside of the company’s establishment in 2016 and growth through the years, can be traced to February 2019 when FNGR announced it had been upgraded from pink sheets to the OTCQB Venture Marketplace. At the time, Shen intimated that the uplisting to OTCQB served as a stepping stone to meeting the listing requirements for admission on a senior exchange (https://ibn.fm/MEhSq). In January this year when FingerMotion was again upgraded to the OTCQX Best Market (https://ibn.fm/1Bye6). The upgrade marked a significant milestone for the company as it offered, and continues to do so, greater access to the capital markets. It was also an essential part of FNGR’s business plan. “The higher standards make us more transparent to institutional investors who rely on the more rigorous review of the company,” said Shen, following the uplisting to OTCQX. “The liquidity on OTCQX should also provide investors more confidence to trade our securities. The higher financial standards and reporting requirements are good for management, strategic partners, and investors as it will increase our overall appeal to attract top-level experience, partnerships, and investment.” Until its uplisting application to NASDAQ is approved, FingerMotion will continue to trade on the OTCQX under its current ticker symbol “FNGR.” The company looks forward to updating shareholders on the progress of its submission in due course.
