Rocket Lab Launches 53rd Electron Mission, Deploying Five Satellites For Kinéis

Biohaven Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHVN#NYSE">BHVN</a>) (Biohaven&nbsp;or the Company), today announced positive topline results from pivotal Study BHV4157-206-RWE (NCT06529146) demonstrating the efficacy of troriluzole on the mean change from baseline in the f-SARA after 3 years of treatment. The study achieved the primary endpoint and showed statistically significant improvements on the f-SARA at years 1 and 2 (Figure 1). SCA is a rare, progressively debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 15,000 people in&nbsp;the United States and 24,000 in Europe and the United Kingdom. There are no FDA approved treatments for SCA.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2512320/Biohaven_Figure_1_Troriluzole_vs_US_Natural_History_External_Control.html"><img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2512320/Biohaven_Figure_1_Troriluzole_vs_US_Natural_History_External_Control.jpg" alt="Figure 1: f-SARA Change from baseline demonstrating troriluzole reduced SCA disease progression vs US Natural History External Control" /></a>
Collectively, data across multiple analyses demonstrate a robust and clinically meaningful slowing of disease progression in SCA patients. These treatment benefits translate into a 50-70% slower rate of decline compared to untreated patients, representing 1.5-2.2 years delay in disease progression over the 3-year study period. Additionally, in a responder sensitivity analysis, disease progression when defined by a 2 point or greater worsening on the f-SARA at 3 years showed an odds ratio (OR) of 4.1 (95% CI: 2.1, 8.1) for the untreated external control arm versus troriluzole treated subjects (p &lt; 0.0001; pooled analysis).
Dr. Susan Perlman, Director of Ataxia Clinic and Neurogenetics Clinical Trials at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA stated, "SCA is a debilitating, relentlessly progressive disease that destroys quality of life, leaving patients unable to care for themselves, walk, or speak. Troriluzole is the very first treatment to show a delay in disease progression that can give patients additional years of independence, where they can walk without assistance, continue to work, play with their children, and participate in daily activities. This is an exciting and hopeful moment for the SCA community."&nbsp;
Study BHV4157-206-RWE was designed, in discussion with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to assess the effectiveness of troriluzole in SCA after 3 years of treatment as measured by the change from baseline in the f-SARA. The study utilized Phase 3 data and an external control of matched, untreated SCA subjects from the US Clinical Research Consortium for the Study of Cerebellar Ataxia (CRC-SCA) in accordance with FDA's Guidance on Real-World Evidence (RWE) of effectiveness. All endpoints were prespecified, and both the study protocol and statistical analysis plan were submitted to, and reviewed by, FDA prior to topline data analysis. The new analysis doubled the previously available 3 year data with 63 subjects now completing 3 years of treatment with troriluzole and matched to the external control arm. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was used to ensure that untreated patients from the CRC-SCA study were rigorously matched to treated patients from Study BHV4157-206 on baseline characteristics.&nbsp; The primary objective was to examine the treatment effects of troriluzole for up to 3&nbsp;years, by comparing data on the f-SARA from patients treated with troriluzole in Study BHV4157-206 to untreated patients from the natural history study. Troriluzole-treated patients demonstrated statistically significant and sustained benefits at years 1, 2 and 3 on the f-SARA compared to a rigorously matched natural history control.
Additionally, prespecified analyses in the protocol employed a separate, independent natural history control from the European SCA natural history study (EUROSCA) for global regulatory purposes. Results using the EUROSCA patients, in addition to a pooled analysis using both CRC-SCA and EUROSCA patients, as the external controls were also statistically significant and consistent with the primary efficacy analysis at all timepoints (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). The addition of EUROSCA data increased the external control sample size and added to the robustness of the statistically significant treatment differences at years 1, 2, and 3, favoring troriluzole.
Jeremy Schmahmann, M.D., Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Founding Director of the Ataxia Center at Massachusetts General Hospital commented, "The stabilization of SCA symptoms as reflected by the topline data at 3 years along with the previously reported reductions in falls show the therapeutic potential of troriluzole. I cannot underscore enough the impact of a potential treatment that can slow SCA disease progression and the effect on patients and caregivers who have helplessly watched generations of family members deteriorate and die from SCA. These new data provide support for troriluzole as a safe and effective once daily treatment for patients with SCA."
Spinocerebellar ataxia is a group of dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive loss of voluntary motor control and atrophy of the cerebellum, brainstem and spinal cord. Patients experience significant morbidity, including progression to a wheelchair, impaired gait leading to falls, inability to communicate due to speech impairment, difficulty swallowing, and premature death. While signs and symptoms can appear anytime from childhood to late adulthood, SCA typically presents in early adulthood and progresses over a number of years. Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments and no cure for SCA.
Vlad Coric, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Biohaven stated, "Advancing new therapies for patients with rare diseases is often a multiyear process of collaboration across academic, patient advocacy, regulatory and industry partners. The Biohaven team has always been committed to rigorously following the science in this area, and through our partnership with the National Ataxia Foundation and collaboration with leading SCA experts across the globe, our SCA development program has provided the first evidence of a clinically meaningful treatment benefit as well as slowing disease progression in SCA patients. We were excited to receive the positive topline results from Study BHV4157-206-RWE, which was designed with FDA input and pursuant to the principles outlined in the FDA's guidance for the use of real-world evidence.&nbsp; The need for treatments for this deadly neurodegenerative disease is urgent. As a company, we remain committed to developing novel therapies for patients living with rare disorders with no approved therapies, like SCA. We look forward to interacting with regulatory agencies to bring troriluzole to patients with SCA."
Andrew Rosen, Chief Executive Officer of the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF), shared, "Biohaven was the first company to join NAF's Drug Development Collaborative (DDC), a group of pharmaceutical companies dedicated to bringing together advocates, clinicians, regulatory agencies, and the patient community to advance research and facilitate the development of therapies for ataxia. Today's topline results are the culmination of years dedicated to studying troriluzole as a treatment for SCA. Patients and families have been waiting for decades for a treatment that could slow disease progression in this devastating and relentlessly progressive disorder".
Based upon the topline data from Study BHV4157-206-RWE, and previous safety and efficacy data from the troriluzole development program in SCA, Biohaven plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA in Q4 2024. The troriluzole development program has generated the largest clinical trial dataset in SCA and now has follow-up in some patients treated with troriluzole for over 5 years. &nbsp;Biohaven has previously received both Fast-Track and Orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA, and ODD from the European Medicines Agency, for troriluzole in SCA. An NDA with ODD is eligible for priority FDA review. Biohaven will be prepared to commercialize SCA in the US in 2025, if ultimately approved, based on potential priority review timelines.

Biohaven Announces 3-Year Results for Troriluzole in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Treatment

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARWR#NASDAQ">ARWR</a>) today announced that it has filed for regulatory clearance to initiate a Phase 1/2a clinical trial of ARO-INHBE, the company's investigational RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic being developed as a potential treatment for obesity. Arrowhead also plans to file for regulatory clearance before the end of 2024 to initiate a clinical trial for its second obesity candidate, ARO-ALK7.
"Arrowhead's two investigational RNAi therapies for the treatment of obesity, ARO-INHBE and ARO-ALK7, are both designed to intervene in the same pathway that signals the body to store fat in adipose tissue. We have generated very promising preclinical data that suggests inhibition of these targets reduces body mass and fat mass but spares lean muscle mass resulting in improved body composition," said James Hamilton, M.D., Chief of Discovery and Translational Medicine at Arrowhead. "We have designed the initial Phase 1/2 study to evaluate single and multiple doses of ARO-INHBE monotherapy in Part 1 which will enroll patients with obesity, and to evaluate multiple doses of ARO-INHBE in combination with tirzepatide in Part 2 which will enroll diabetic and non-diabetic patients with obesity. We believe new therapeutic strategies with novel mechanisms of action, like ARO-INHBE and ARO-ALK7, have the potential to make a significant impact on the way obesity is treated and we are eager to initiate clinical studies of these important new programs."
ARO-INHBE is designed to reduce the hepatic expression of the INHBE gene and its secreted gene product, Activin E. INHBE is a promising genetically validated target in which loss-of-function INHBE variants in humans are associated with lower risk of obesity and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Activin E acts as a ligand in a pathway that regulates energy homeostasis in adipose tissue​. Intervening in this pathway with investigational ARO-INHBE treatment has the potential to increase lipolysis, and reduce adipose hypertrophy and dysfunction, visceral adiposity, and insulin resistance.
An application for approval to initiate the clinical trial was submitted to the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority for review by the Standing Committee on Therapeutic Trials. Pending clearance, Arrowhead intends to proceed with AROINHBE-1001, A Phase 1/2a dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ARO-INHBE in up to 78 adult volunteers with obesity. Part 1 of the study is designed to assess single and multiple doses of ARO-INHBE monotherapy, and Part 2 of the study is designed to assess ARO-INHBE in combination with tirzepatide, a subcutaneously administered GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonist that has been approved in the United States and the European Union for management type 2 diabetes mellitus since 2022 and weight management since 2023/2024 respectively.

The Federal Reserve slashed interest rates by half a percentage point on Wednesday, marking the first rate cut in years. The benchmark federal funds rate now ranges<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40926026/federal-reserve-delivers-bold-0-5-rate-cut-signals-further-easing-ahead"> between 4.75% and 5%</a>. While nearly half luxury home purchases are made in cash, that rate cut is poised to impact the high-end housing market. Industry experts anticipate a surge in confidence and activity across all property segments, with potential price increases in top-tier real estate.

</ul>
President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty in South Florida, Ron Shuffield, views the rate cut positively. "The drop in the Fed rate today is good news for everyone,&#8221; he told Mansion Global. "While high-end buyers often don't have a traditional home mortgage, everyone is impacted by changes in interest rates – whether in their home mortgage, their business financing, their personal life or in lines of credit they roll in and out of – all of which are based on interest rates," Shuffield said.

However, the luxury market is not immune to their effects.
According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates have already declined, reaching 6.2% as of Sept. 12, the lowest since February 2023. This downward trend will likely continue in response to the Fed&#8217;s decision.
Trending: Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a>
Ian Slater, a New York City-based agent with Compass, noted the real estate community&#8217;s excitement about the rate cut. &#8220;Now that we know the Fed has cut a large amount, 0.5% rather than what some expected to be 0.25%, there is even more exuberance,&#8221; Slater said.
Despite the prevalence of cash purchases in the luxury market, Redfin reports that 44% of luxury home purchases were made with cash in the second quarter. The rate cut is expected to boost market sentiment. Slater predicts &#8220;a continued robust luxury market throughout the remainder of 2024 and potentially even more strength in 2025.&#8221;

Lower mortgage rates&#8217; effects on buying power are more striking in high-priced metro areas. In California&#8217;s San Jose metro area, where the median listing price hit $1.4 million in August, a hypothetical drop in mortgage rates to 5.5% could increase buying power by $110,000, according to Realtor.com data cited by Mansion Global.
Matthew Lesser, senior partner at New York City brokerage Leslie Garfield, believes the rate cut will catalyze market activity. &#8220;Historically, this should lead to greater transaction volume and therefore push pricing because of the increased demand,&#8221; Lesser said.
Even for all-cash buyers at the top end of the market, the rate cut has indirect benefits. &#8220;These buyers use leverage in their daily lives, whether for their own businesses or investments,&#8221; Lesser said. Cheaper money will raise consumer confidence and provide greater opportunity to buy more real estate.

The article illustrates that the PEDD method via the TriNav Infusion System significantly improved delivery of glass microspheres (GM) with deeper penetration into liver tumors and the peritumoral tissue, when compared to delivery of GM with a conventional microcatheter in a transgenic (oncopig) model.
"This is another example of how our PEDD approach effectively tackles a significant challenge in cancer care by ensuring the selective and increased delivery of therapeutics to the tumor. This research advances and validates our understanding of the PEDD method, providing high-resolution evidence of enhanced delivery," said Bryan F. Cox, Ph.D., Chief of Research for TriSalus. "With both proximal and distal placements of the PEDD device, we observed significantly improved delivery of glass microspheres to the tumor, quantified on a millimeter scale. The strength of the proximal infusion data suggests an opportunity to selectively target multiple tumors simultaneously in patients with heavy disease burdens."
"These results contribute to the substantial and expanding body of pre-clinical and clinical evidence supporting the wide-ranging potential applicability of the PEDD approach," said Mary Szela, Chief Executive Officer and President of TriSalus. "Efficient delivery of therapeutics into tumor cells without causing harm to off-target normal tissue remains a real-world challenge in cancer care, and the PEDD approach aims to overcome this obstacle. This publication strengthens our current understanding that, regardless of placement of the technology, either lobar or selective infusions, the PEDD method increased glass microspheres delivery uptake compared to conventional microcatheters. The TriNav device signifies a potential breakthrough in delivering glass microspheres and other drugs into tumors in a highly controlled and targeted manner."
"This study shows the potential of PEDD method to address an unmet need in liver cancer therapy – achieving the same safety profile of selective Y90 treatment to those performed for more advanced diffuse disease using lobar injections. This study suggests that the use of PEDD method alters hemodynamics and the microenvironment in a manner resulting in higher concentrations of microspheres in the tumor compared to the adjacent liver parenchyma, thereby offering the ability to increase efficacy and improve safety. If further validated in human models, this may represent a significant advancement in the management of liver cancer," said Dr. Riad Salem, Chief of Interventional Radiology, and Professor of Radiology, Surgery, and Medicine in Chicago.
The research involved transgenic pigs (oncopigs) with induced liver tumors. These tumors were intra-arterially infused with fluorescently labeled GM. The PEDD method with the TriNav device was compared to the use of conventional microcatheter delivery in both lobar and selective infusions. Near-infrared (near IR) imaging was utilized to detect the GM fluorescent signal in tumors. The results showed significant increases in GM signal intensity in and around tumors after delivery with the PEDD method, with a 117% increase in tumor penetration with lobar infusions and a 39% increase with selective infusions compared to conventional delivery. Lobar PEDD delivery of GM to the tumor was statistically equivalent to conventional selective delivery (p=0.497).

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QURE#NASDAQ">QURE</a>), a leading gene therapy company advancing transformative therapies for patients with severe medical needs, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to AMT-191, uniQure's investigational gene therapy for the treatment of Fabry disease, a rare, inherited genetic disease. In August 2024, uniQure announced the dosing of the first patient in its U.S., multi-center, open-label Phase I/IIa trial of AMT-191.
"This important designation highlights the need for new gene therapies like AMT-191 for patients with Fabry disease with the potential of delivering meaningful benefit given the suboptimal effectiveness of current chronic treatments," stated <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=XJHujD0zFsqCKj2AQYLx5YZE0M2jd1UjijpyNswg3uU3SriFCvwWI96vkEi8AA3le2sz_K36hMQhw9mjNc65v089QNwHSlUPjRhS5ybbM0ZoWv13dGsruJHJU5iG2D1r51IROOb0I1SREI2dhF2Cck4rSdmcC2GyFO4ZLtacqF9PhX4xHMVg625XkJYrftYl">Walid Abi-Saab, M.D., chief medical officer of uniQure</a>. "This designation supports our Phase I/IIa clinical trial and we look forward to rapidly generating clinical proof-of-concept data and providing initial data in 2025."
In patients with Fabry disease, a pathogenic variant in the galactosidase alpha (GLA) gene leads to α-galactosidase A (aGAL-A) enzyme deficiency, which in turn results in a progressive accumulation of lipids in multiple cell types, including kidney and heart cells, eventually resulting in a multi-system disorder. AMT-191 is a one-time intravenously administered investigational AAV5-based gene therapy that uses a proprietary, highly potent promoter to deliver a GLA transgene designed to target the liver to produce GLA protein.
The Phase I/IIa clinical trial of AMT-191 will be conducted in the United States. The multicenter, open-label trial consists of two cohorts with up to six adult male patients each: a low-dose cohort of 6x1013 gc/kg and a high-dose cohort of 3x1014 gc/kg delivered through a one-time intravenous infusion. Patients will continue to receive their regular enzyme replacement therapy until the criteria for withdrawal is met and will be followed for a period of 24 months. The trial will explore the safety, tolerability, and early signs of efficacy by measuring the expression of lysosomal enzyme aGLA-A. Additional details are available on <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=7KolP2h89egUHI8jH_Zo5bdDQZFzZM_38LjWTPDf3Kdw9gSQKRHs9DeKDUPU-daOSt9uPtk10WEjZA6W4qStkajilCQxvaD3HJzRrulXR-o=">www.clinicaltrials.gov</a> (NCT06270316).
The FDA's Orphan Drug Designation provides a special status for investigational drugs being developed for rare diseases considered to affect only up to 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan drug status provides certain incentives, including tax credits, grants and waiver of certain administrative fees for clinical trials as well as seven years of market exclusivity in the United States following drug approval.
