Accenture Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

<ul>
<li>ORKA-001 has an NHP half-life of 30.3 days following SQ administration and 33.8 days following IV administration, over three times longer than risankizumab and one of the longest NHP half-lives observed for an extended half-life antibody. Projections of ORKA-001 pharmacokinetics (PK) in humans indicate that a human half-life of approximately 50 days could enable dosing once every six months, while a human half-life of approximately 75 days could enable once-yearly dosing. The NHP half-life observed for ORKA-001 supports the potential to achieve these extended dosing intervals given that other YTE-modified antibodies have had an approximately two to four times longer half-life in humans than in NHPs. In addition, the extended half-life of ORKA-001 could result in higher antibody exposures than risankizumab, which could lead to greater efficacy. &nbsp;</li>
<li>ORKA-001 binds to a similar epitope with similar affinity to risankizumab and shows equivalent potency across a variety of in vitro assays. ORKA-001 binds IL-23p19 with an affinity below five picomolar. Based on cryo-EM structural analysis, ORKA-001 binds to a nearly identical epitope to risankizumab. When assessed across four different assays in cell lines and primary cells, ORKA-001 also had comparable functional potency for IL-23 antagonism. These findings support that ORKA-001 has a validated mechanism of action and further derisk its development path.</li>

This will pave the way for Iridium's satellite service to be accessible via industry standard chipsets, furthering the company's progress in developing and deploying its newest service, Iridium NTN Direct℠, over the <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4262807-1&amp;h=2436757427&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iridium.com%2Fnetwork%2F&amp;a=Iridium%C2%AE+Network">Iridium&#xAE; Network</a>. Born from the company's Project Stardust initiative, the Iridium NTN Direct service being announced today is expected to be the world's first truly global&nbsp;5G NB-IoT service. <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4262807-1&amp;h=945366429&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3gpp.org%2Fspecifications-technologies%2Freleases%2Frelease-19&amp;a=3GPP+Release+19">3GPP Release 19</a>&nbsp;is currently scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
&nbsp;
In January 2024, Iridium announced <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4262807-1&amp;h=3667490169&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Finvestor.iridium.com%2F2024-01-10-Iridium-Unveils-Project-Stardust-Developing-the-Only-Truly-Global%2C-Standards-Based-IoT-and-Direct-to-Device-Service&amp;a=Project+Stardust">Project Stardust</a> to enable NB-IoT NTN standards-based communication through its operational LEO constellation – and has since made considerable progress at a rapid pace. Iridium NTN Direct technical development is well underway, with a successful demonstration having taken place earlier this year in a lab environment. Iridium has also joined <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4262807-1&amp;h=36862901&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gsma.com%2F&amp;a=GSMA%2C">GSMA,</a> and is continuing to advance development with additional trials and demonstrations scheduled for early next year.
"We're already well into our technology development, and we're excited about our progress and to see so much enthusiasm from the 3GPP community," said Greg Pelton, CTO, Iridium. "As a cloud-based service powered by the flexibility of our software-defined satellites and building upon recognized industry standards, we've been able to jump off to a super-fast start. Our team is really motivated to make this happen."
Iridium NTN Direct will offer the opportunity for smartphone companies, OEMs, chipmakers, mobile network operators (MNO) and related IoT developers who utilize 3GPP standards-based technology to leverage Iridium's existing network and globally allocated and coordinated spectrum, providing a global, low-latency LEO user experience.
"When it comes to providing D2D, we don't have to be first, but we have to be the best. Iridium NTN Direct is an important initiative for us, and we've been able to pivot on an unprecedented scale and make significant progress toward providing the best service," said&nbsp;Matt Desch, CEO, Iridium. "We're grateful for the wide industry support of our vision to expand access to Iridium's global lifeline service by enabling it for anyone with a cellular device."
The Iridium satellite constellation's crosslinked, LEO architecture and global L-band spectrum provide a service advantage versus other LEO and geostationary satellite networks. Certified to provide safety of life services by international regulatory bodies, the Iridium network is known for its reliability and continues to be the only network that provides connectivity everywhere on Earth. Operating in LEO, the Iridium constellation does not suffer from the same line-of-sight limitations, significant power requirements or outages that can affect entire regions from a single satellite as faced by geostationary systems.

Vertex Energy, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTNR#NASDAQ">VTNR</a>) shares are tumbling lower at a premarket on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the company inked a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with full backing from its term loan lenders and filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41016028/vertex-energy-and-its-lenders-initiate-formal-pathway-aimed-at-achieving-sustainable-capital-struc" rel="noreferrer noopener">Court for the Southern District of Texas</a>.
Notably, the company has filed customary first-day motions and plans to operate normally while pursuing a comprehensive restructuring strategy under the RSA.
To support this process, the Consenting Term Loan Lenders have agreed to provide $80 million in Debtor-In-Possession financing, subject to specific terms and conditions.
The company has also filed a Chapter 11 plan and bidding procedures, aiming to confirm its Chapter 11 plan by the end of the year.
Chief Restructuring Officer, Seth Bullock of Alvarez &amp; Marsal, said, &#8220;We have gained significant momentum with the partnership of Vertex&#8217;s lenders over the last several months and believe the restructuring support agreement and related milestones will allow the Company to initiate a fresh start and improve long-term value as it singularly concentrates on strengthening its foundation for continued growth and stability.&#8221;
As of June 30, 2024, Vertex Energy had total cash and cash equivalents of $18.9 million, including $0.1 million in restricted cash,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40245391" rel="noreferrer noopener"> resulting in a net debt position of $284.9 million.</a>
