Purple Biotech stock is trading higher with a strong session volume of 9.7 million, compared to an average volume of 48.73K as per data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The Phase 2 study evaluated CM24 in combination with Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab plus stand-of-care (SoC) chemotherapy in second-line metastatic PDAC patients versus SoC chemotherapy alone.
In the intent-to-treat cohort population, the median overall survival rate was 7.92 months in the CM24 combo treatment arm versus 5.55 months in the chemo arm.
The median progression-free survival was 3.9 months versus 2.0 months.
The overall response rate was 25% versus 7%, and the disease control rate was 63% compared to 47% in the CM24 combo arm vs. chemo alone group.
A consistent and continuous decrease of CA19-9, a clinically validated PDAC biomarker, was observed in the experimental arm, reaching a median percentage reduction from baseline of approximately 80% vs. an increase of 40% in the control arm.&nbsp;
A biomarker-enriched patient population analysis based on pretreatment ranges of serum CEACAM1 demonstrated significant improvement in the treatment arm over the control, with a 79% reduction in the risk of death and a median overall survival improvement of 5.1 months.
Over 90% reduction in risk of progression or death was observed, with a median progression-free survival improvement of 2.9 months and improvement in the treatment arm over the control, resulting in an overall response rate of 50% vs. 0%.
The CM24+nivolumab+Nal/IRI/5FU/LV regimen was well tolerated. The most frequent treatment-emergent Grade 3 or higher adverse events were diarrhea, fatigue, and neutropenia.
Accordingly, no meaningful differences in safety and tolerability were observed between the experimental arm and the SoC arm.
Price Action: PPBT stock is up 54.1% at $5.17 during the premarket session at last check Monday.

ASML Holdings Says Long-Term Scenarios For Demand In SemiConductor Industry Are Not Expected To Be Impacted By New US Export Regulations

Nvidia&#8217;s growth over the past two decades has been remarkable. From a relatively unknown player to a tech giant, Nvidia's workforce has expanded almost 20-fold since 2003 and its pay packages have now left other Silicon Valley giants trailing behind.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rapid Workforce Expansion</h2>
Nvidia's employee count has exploded in the past 20 years. Back in 2003, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) was more of an under-the-radar chip company. Today, it boasts around 30,000 employees, reflecting the surge in demand for its technology, especially in the age of artificial intelligence.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest TODAY for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
</ul>
The company's meteoric rise has attracted many people eager to join its ranks. It's unsurprising to see Nvidia recruiters getting swamped at tech conferences while social platforms are filled with people looking for advice on landing a job there. Business Insider reports that many are drawn by stories of employees becoming millionaires, thanks partly to Nvidia's booming stock and generous stock-based compensation packages.
Millionaires and Median Pay That Surpasses Tech Giants

Nvidia's stock price has skyrocketed – up almost 2,400% in the past five years – making many long-term employees millionaires. For instance, Nvidia's median salary in 2024 now surpasses that of tech giants like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). The company's compensation packages, including stock grants that typically vest over four years, have made employees wealthy and helped bring its employee churn rate to a record low. In 2023, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40573254/nvidias-stock-surge-turns-employees-into-millionaires-cutting-churn-to-record-low-report">Nvidia's turnover rate dropped to 2.7%</a>, far lower than the 17.7% industry average.
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
However, not all employees feel like they're rolling in cash. Some employees point out that while stock options seem impressive, the reality of taxes, living costs and limited stock allocations can take the shine off those figures. One Nvidia engineer even mentioned that, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39400309/employees-who-joined-nvidia-5-years-ago-now-millionaires-and-coasting-in-semi-retirement">despite earning $250,000 annually</a>, a lot goes toward covering everyday expenses and taxes – which means they're far from feeling financially free.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Demanding Workplace, But With Big Rewards</h2>
Nvidia&#8217;s success is not just due to compensation; its culture also plays a huge role. CEO Jensen Huang is known for his demanding leadership style. Instead of using frequent layoffs, he encourages unwavering dedication and pushes workers to their limits. Huang is known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40692021/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-will-push-employees-to-their-limits-but-is-reluctant-to-let-them-go-ill-tort">for saying </a>he would &#8220;torture them into greatness&#8221; and he continues pushing his team hard rather than giving up.
It's a high-pressure environment, with reports of employees working late into the night or even seven days a week. However, there are many benefits, as stock-based compensation allows workers to purchase luxurious homes, expensive real estate and indulge in luxuries like Super Bowl tickets. According to Bloomberg, Nvidia's CFO, Colette Kress, holds company stock valued at $758.7 million – a stark difference from her peers at other companies.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Key to Nvidia&#8217;s Growth</h2>
Nvidia's growth has been fueled by its strategic vision, especially in AI. The company's early investment in CUDA – a software layer to power its GPUs for AI – turned out to be a great decision, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40692210/nvidia-maintains-ai-chip-dominance-as-huawei-struggles-to-compete-report">putting Nvidia at the heart of the AI industry</a>. Huang's approach to leadership may not be for everyone, but his refusal to settle for anything less than excellence has paid off.
For those who can handle the heat, Nvidia is one of the best places to work – with high pay, stock rewards and a role in building some of the world's most advanced technology. From an under-the-radar chip company to a dominant force in AI, Nvidia&#8217;s story is one of relentless growth and ambition.

As discussions around Bitcoin's place in modern finance intensify, Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, shared his perspective at the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event</a>. 
Pompliano highlighted Bitcoin's shift from a niche commodity to a meaningful component of investment portfolios and examined its potential to reshape financial strategies for institutions and individuals alike.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin's Expanding Presence</h3>
Pompliano described Bitcoin's journey from a niche asset to an emerging portfolio component. "Bitcoin used to be 0%," he said. "Now I think it&#8217;s starting to crack into one or two percent for people. And we have nation-states, sovereign wealth funds, huge financial organizations, and public companies all starting to buy this."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41916359/bitcoin-is-the-decentralized-king-says-anthony-pompliano-whose-100000-price-prediction-is-close-to-coming-true" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin Is The ‘Decentralized King,' Says Anthony Pompliano, Whose $100,000 Price Prediction Is Close To Coming True</a>
He pointed out that the limited supply of Bitcoin could push its price higher as more entities incorporate it into their holdings. Over time, Pompliano predicts that Bitcoin's allocation in diversified portfolios might stabilize around 5%, which he believes would reflect broader acceptance of the cryptocurrency.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Addressing Economic Concerns</h3>
When discussing skeptics of digital assets, Pompliano emphasized the importance of framing the conversation around economic challenges. "I think that really what you want to do is just explain the problem," he said, citing issues such as increasing national debt and the Federal Reserve's efforts to manage inflation.
"If we all agree on the problem, what is your solution? And most people don't have a good solution," he explained, introducing Bitcoin as a potential answer. By focusing on shared financial concerns, Pompliano suggested skeptics may be more open to considering Bitcoin as a viable alternative.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Outlook</h3>
Pompliano expressed optimism for financial markets, particularly for Bitcoin and related assets. He highlighted how political shifts could affect the economic landscape: &#8220;Donald Trump going back into the White House is going to be a tailwind for stocks, crypto, [and] many other assets."
As investors and institutions prepare for opportunities in 2025, Pompliano's remarks reflected the broader industry focus on Bitcoin's evolving role in modern finance. His comments at the event spotlighted the increasing interest in digital assets as part of long-term investment strategies.
