MissionIRNewsBreaks – PaxMedica Inc. (NASDAQ: PXMD) on Promising Path to Meet Medical Needs of ASD Patients

 PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”), is focusing its lead program on autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”), for which there is no approved pharmacologic treatment targeting cause and symptoms. “The current ASD treatments only address the symptoms of the condition but do not target the pathophysiology itself. PaxMedica is on a promising path to address the unmet medical needs of families with ASD – bringing hope to millions,” a recent article reads. “PaxMedica is using existing research on a drug called suramin, initially created to treat a disease called Human African Trypanosomiasis (‘HAT’), to support new studies for treating ASD and a related condition known as Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (‘FXTAS’)… If these trials prove that suramin is effective, PaxMedica could not only get the drug approved for use, but also receive a special coupon from the FDA called a Priority Review Voucher (‘PRV’). This voucher, which can accelerate the review of a new drug, is quite valuable and could be sold to another pharmaceutical company for a significant amount of money. The company intends to channel these funds into conducting extensive trials for ASD and FXTAS treatment through its lead program, PAX-101 (IV Suramin)… In 2024, PaxMedica is positioned to continue its momentum, sustained by achievements in 2023. The company is working to expand its product pipeline, centered on its proprietary source of suramin.”

About Genprex Inc. 

Genprex is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes that currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its proprietary, nonviral Oncoprex(R) Nanoparticle Delivery System, which encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is administered intravenously, where it is taken up by tumor cells that then express tumor suppressor proteins that are deficient in the tumor. The company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA(R) Immunogene Therapy (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated in three clinical trials as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”). Each of Genprex’s three lung cancer clinical programs has received a fast-track designation from the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of that patient population, and Genprex’s SCLC program has received an FDA Orphan Drug Designation. Genprex’s diabetes gene therapy approach is comprised of a novel infusion process that uses an adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vector to deliver Pdx1 (“Pdx1”) and MafA (“MafA”) genes directly to the pancreas. In models of type 1 diabetes, GPX-002 transforms alpha cells in the pancreas into functional beta-like cells, which can produce insulin but may be distinct enough from beta cells to evade the body’s immune system. In a similar approach, GPX-003 for type 2 diabetes, where autoimmunity is not at play, is believed to rejuvenate and replenish exhausted beta cells.

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) Unveils New E-Boat Model, Names New CFO in Preparation for Industry Growth

 

  • The global electric boats market is forecast to more than double in size, increasing from $3.3 billion in 2023 to $7.7 billion by 2030
  • Vision Marine’s unveiling of its newest e-boat offering, the Phantom, couldn’t have come at more opportune time
  • The company’s new chief financial officer brings invaluable expertise and insight in manufacturing, production and delivery

As the electric boat sector is projected to double in value in the next few years, companies operating in the industry are positioning themselves to meet — and even exceed — the expectations this growth could create. For example, Vision Marine Technologies (NASDAQ: VMAR), a global leader and innovator in the performance electric recreational boating market, has made two key announcements recently: the company unveiled its Phantom vessel, a new rotomolded, recyclable, and hard-to-damage boat (https://ibn.fm/n0Ytr), and it named an industry veteran as it transitions to the manufacturing and delivery phase (https://ibn.fm/O8OPk).

The global electric boats market is on the cusp of significant growth, with the market forecast to more than double in size, increasing from $3.3 billion in 2023 to $7.7 billion by 2030, reported ResearchandMarket.com (https://ibn.fm/0dMHk). “This remarkable expansion is set to soar at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 13.0% from 2023 to 2030,” the report stated. “The driving force behind this surge is the escalating demand for advanced electrical systems in electric boats.

“The electric boats market is poised for transformation, driven by the increasing demand for sustainable transportation solutions, mounting environmental concerns and the evolution of electric propulsion technologies,” the report continued. “Electric boats, also referred to as e-boats or electrically powered vessels, replace traditional internal combustion engines with electric motors and batteries, delivering advantages in terms of efficiency, emissions reduction and operational cost savings.”

With that forecast in mind, Vision Marine’s unveiling of its newest e-boat offering, the Phantom, couldn’t have come at more opportune time. The company debuted the boat at the Miami International Boat Show 2024. The new vessel offers significant market advantages through its economic and environmental benefits. The company noted that the boat, which can comfortably seat up to 10 passengers, is engineered for efficiency. In addition, VMAR has the capacity to produce an estimated 300 units annually, with the potential to scale up to 1,500 units a year, at a cost that is 70% lower than that of fiberglass alternatives.

“We recognize a growing demand for rotomolded boats among our Florida clientele for several reasons,” said Roger Moore, the CEO of Nautical Ventures Marine Group, which has inked an exclusive distribution deal with VMAR. The Phantom’s affordability “enables entry-level ownership; they support both electric and gas motors, appealing to ecoconscious and traditional boaters alike; and their versatility makes the Phantom ideal for various activities, from fishing to leisure. With its 10-person capacity and maintenance-free design, the Phantom meets a wide range of needs.”

As Vision Marine gears up to meet industry demand for the new boat, the company’s new chief financial officer will bring invaluable expertise and insight. The company recently named Raffi Sossoyan as its new CFO, noting that the “strategic appointment marks a significant step as Vision Marine gears up for an ambitious phase focused on manufacturing, production, and delivery, underlining the company’s dedication to scaling its operations and enhancing its market footprint.”

Sossoyan has more than 25 years of experience in global financial and operational leadership. Most recently, he served as vice president of corporate treasury at Velan Inc., a Canadian multinational company. While there, Sossoyan managed financial operations amid global sales exceeding $370 million. Prior to that, as CFO at Valtech Fabrication Inc., he oversaw worldwide sales that totaled more than $50 million.

“Raffi’s robust experience in finance and operations within publicly listed companies, particularly his success at a TSX-listed entity, aligns perfectly with our strategic objectives as we escalate our manufacturing and delivery initiatives,” said CEO Alex Mongeon. “His leadership will be instrumental in fortifying Vision Marine’s financial strategies during this critical phase of our expansion.”

These two recent announcements underscore the Vision Marine Technologies commitment to leading the shift toward electric propulsion in the marine industry, fostering sustainability and achieving superior performance through its innovative E-Motion(TM) technology.
