Market Alert: NeuroSense Therapeutics Advances Toward Early Canadian Commercialization of ALS Drug

Global Markets News

NeuroSense's Groundbreaking ALS Combination Therapy PrimeC Advances Towards commercialization in Canada potential for revenue in canada alone of $100-150 million dollars. PrimeC Has Previously Demonstrated Unprecedentedly Strong Clinical Efficacy; Market News Alerts Reports -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN)* has announced significant progress toward the early commercialization of PrimeC in Canada. According to a Form 6-K filed with the SEC this morning, Health Canada has invited the company to a pre-New Drug Submission (pre-NDS) meeting to discuss a potential Notice of Compliance/conditional (NOC/c) regulatory pathway for PrimeC as a treatment for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). NeuroSense is targeting potential approval in Canada by H1 2026. The company estimates peak annual revenue potential of $100-150M USD in the Canadian market. This meeting marks a critical step in NeuroSense's regulatory strategy for PrimeC PrimeC is NeuroSense's lead drug candidate for ALS, a novel extended-release oral formulation combining ciprofloxacin and celecoxib. The drug has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials, including the Phase 2b PARADIGM study, which showed a 36% reduction in disease progression and 43% improvement in survival rates compared to placebo. In December 2024, NeuroSense reported positive FDA feedback on its Phase 3 trial design for PrimeC, with plans to initiate the pivotal study in mid-2025. The company has also announced entering a binding term sheet with a global pharmaceutical company to advance PrimeC's development, which includes substantial upfront payments and funding for the Phase 3 program. This Canadian regulatory development represents a potential pathway to earlier commercialization while the larger Phase 3 program proceeds for global markets. The neurodegenerative disease treatment market has witnessed transformative licensing deals that highlight the immense value of innovative therapies. GlaxoSmithKline's 2021 collaboration with Alector set a remarkable precedent with a $700 million upfront payment and potential milestone payments of $1.5 billion, while the Biogen and Denali Therapeutics partnership in 2020 involved $560 million upfront and potential milestones approaching $1.125 billion. These deals underscore the pharmaceutical industry's willingness to invest heavily in breakthrough neurological innovations, potentially like NeuroSense's PrimeC. Some Wall Street Analysts reportedly maintain a Buy Rating for NeuroSense with AGP giving the company a $7.50 price target representing a significant premium over current Prices; * Disclaimer: Nothing in this report constitutes financial or investment advice, nor does it represent an offer to buy or sell securities.

The Financial Revolution Unfolds: AI, Quantum Security, and the Future of Fraud Prevention

FDAAS

Spokane Valley, Washington, March 18, 2025 - (ThriveNewsWire) – The financial world is standing on the edge of transformation. For decades, fraud prevention has been reactive, outdated, and flawed. $500 billion is lost annually to financial fraud, AI-driven cybercrime, and regulatory loopholes. But a seismic shift is occurring—one that will permanently alter how trust, security, and transactions function in the global economy. The Convergence of AI, Quantum Security & Compliance Automation Three forces are coming together to eliminate financial fraud before it happens: AI-Powered Fraud Prevention – Real-time, self-learning algorithms capable of detecting deception before money moves. Quantum-Secured Transactions – Next-generation cryptographic frameworks ensuring that financial transactions are mathematically unbreakable. Automated Compliance & Regulatory Enforcement – Where AML, KYC, and SEC compliance are not manual processes, but embedded within the financial system itself. This is not an upgrade. This is an evolution. Why This Matters for Financial Institutions & Investors Every financial institution, from global banks to fintech startups, must adapt to this shift or risk irrelevance. Regulations are tightening. Governments are mandating stricter fraud prevention measures, and institutions that fail to comply will face massive financial penalties. Cybercriminals are evolving. AI-driven fraud techniques like deepfake scams and synthetic identity theft are growing too complex for legacy security systems. Traditional fraud prevention is obsolete. Rule-based security models are no longer enough. Financial institutions need predictive fraud prevention, not reactive detection. The time for discussion is over. The financial industry must adopt AI-driven security before AI-driven fraud overtakes the system. 112 Patents Securing the Future of Financial Trust At the heart of this transformation is a strategic patent portfolio covering 112 technologies that will define the next era of financial security: AI-Driven Anomaly Detection – Systems that analyze financial transactions at the molecular level, detecting fraud before intention becomes action. Blockchain-Verified Identity Protection – Creating an immutable trust layer that prevents synthetic identity fraud and financial crime. Quantum-Resistant Encryption – Securing financial transactions against future quantum computing threats. Real-Time ISP Phishing Defense – AI-driven security that detects and neutralizes phishing attacks before they reach consumers. We are not building a product. We are building the infrastructure of the next financial system. A New Company Launching With Industry Control Inspired by American Greed – This company was founded with the realization that financial fraud is not just an inevitability—it’s an engineered flaw in the system. The patterns of deception, manipulation, and financial crime exposed in American Greed showed us that fraud is predictable, preventable, and solvable through technology. Protecting the Most Vulnerable – Fraud isn’t just about stolen money; it’s about stolen lives. Every year, thousands of senior citizens, retirees, and vulnerable individuals lose their life savings to scams —pushed into homelessness, left unable to afford food, medicine, or even basic necessities. Some are forced to survive on nothing. We are building technology that protects those who need it most, ensuring that no one has to spend their final years in poverty because of preventable fraud. Regulations will require this technology. Financial institutions will be forced to adopt it. AI-driven fraud prevention is no longer optional—it is the future. For the first time in history, financial fraud is no longer an inevitability. It is an engineering problem that has been solved. The transformation begins now. The only question left is: Who will lead it? About FDaaS, Inc. FDaaS, Inc. is pioneering AI-driven fraud prevention, quantum-secure transactions, and compliance automation to create a future where financial crime is eliminated before it happens. With a strategic portfolio of 112 patents, the company is redefining global financial security, ensuring that trust, transparency, and compliance are no longer vulnerabilities but absolute certainties.

The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C. Expands Legal Services for Car Accident Victims

Grand Newswire

The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C., a leading car accident law firm, has announced an expansion of its legal services after securing multi-million dollar settlements for crash victims over the past year. With a rising number of clients facing insurance claim disputes, the firm is strengthening its commitment to providing strong legal representation, ensuring accident victims receive full and fair compensation for their injuries and losses. Attorney Joseph Dedvukaj, a seasoned personal injury lawyer, emphasizes the importance of taking the right steps immediately after an accident to protect one’s legal and financial interests. His firm has represented countless clients in personal injury cases, fighting against insurance companies that attempt to minimize payouts. "Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over accident victims," said Joseph Dedvukaj. "Many people accept settlements far below what they deserve simply because they don't know their rights. Our goal is to level the playing field and ensure our clients get the full compensation they are entitled to." Navigating the Car Accident Claims Process After a car accident, victims must take strategic steps to strengthen their claim. Filing a police report, gathering evidence at the scene, and seeking immediate medical attention are crucial actions that can significantly impact the outcome of a claim. Many injuries, such as whiplash or internal trauma, may not present symptoms right away, making early medical documentation essential for connecting injuries to the accident. "One of the biggest mistakes people make is delaying medical treatment," Dedvukaj explained. "Insurance companies look for any reason to deny or reduce claims, and a gap in medical care is one of their primary tactics." Additionally, communicating with insurance adjusters requires caution. Claimants are advised against admitting fault, providing recorded statements without legal counsel, or accepting the first settlement offer, as insurers often propose initial amounts that are far lower than what a victim may be entitled to receive. Understanding Compensation and Legal Representation Victims of car accidents may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and property damage. However, insurance companies often employ tactics to undervalue these claims, making it essential for victims to seek professional legal advice. Studies indicate that accident victims who retain legal representation secure significantly higher settlements compared to those who negotiate alone. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C. specializes in advocating for victims, ensuring they are not pressured into accepting insufficient settlements. The firm handles all legal aspects of a claim, from negotiating with insurers to representing clients in court if necessary. Legal assistance is particularly crucial in cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, uninsured motorists, or claim denials. The firm provides free consultations to accident victims, helping them evaluate their case and determine the best course of action. For those who have been injured in a car accident, The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C. offers expert legal representation to navigate the claims process and secure the compensation they deserve. About The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C. The Joseph Dedvukaj Firm, P.C. is a personal injury law firm dedicated to representing individuals involved in car accidents, truck accidents, workplace injuries, and other personal injury cases. With a track record of successful settlements and a commitment to client advocacy, the firm ensures accident victims receive the compensation they are entitled to under the law.

The NAVEX 2025 Whistleblowing Benchmark Report Highlights Significant Differences Between Private and Public Companies

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, has released its 2025 Whistleblowing & Incident Management Benchmark Report. It features an in-depth analysis of the industry’s largest dataset of reported incidents derived from NAVEX customers that received 10 or more internal reports in 2024. This group of over 4,000 organizations, representing nearly 69-million employees covered by their programs, led to 2.15 million reports available for analysis, the highest level ever. These reports represent a treasure trove of data points to inform the insights compliance officers, executives, and boards of directors use to understand the successes, opportunities, cultural health, and operational risks within their organizations. In response to company requests and new this year, NAVEX analyzed internal reporting data for different structures of company ownership – publicly traded companies, private organizations, government entities and education organizations – to show how reporting metrics differ within these groups with notable findings. Overall, Reports per 100 Employees showed ongoing record levels of activity for internal reporting systems. For a median organization, reporters are continuing to utilize internal reporting at the record level of 1.57 Reports per 100 Employees found in 2023. Further, reported incidents were substantiated at the highest levels ever seen in NAVEX’s reporting. Workplace Civility concerns again represented the greatest share of 24 Risk Types for reports in 2024 at a median of nearly 18% of reports and were substantiated with a frequency of 46%. “High levels of incivility and inappropriate behavior in a workplace directly impact organizational culture, productivity, employee retention and willingness to speak up,” said Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX. “We know that many organizations consider these types of reports to be ‘not a compliance issue,’ but tolerating poor treatment of colleagues can lead to compliance failures.” In addition, for the first time, this year’s report analyzed nearly 144,000 conflict-of-interest (COI) disclosures made through NAVEX One Disclosure Manager. This provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics within the realm of COIs and other disclosures. Overall, the highest percentage of disclosures were submitted by individual contributors who were most likely to disclose personal relationships in the workplace. Executives were most likely to disclose board positions and financial holdings. The 2025 benchmark report reveals several key themes and notable findings, including: Private companies received a significantly higher level of Reports per 100 Employees than public companies (1.80 vs. 1.10 Reports per 100 Employees) and are more likely to substantiate these matters (50% vs. 43%). In addition, private companies demonstrated a higher tendency to separate employment when a case is substantiated compared to their public counterparts, who are more inclined to impose disciplinary actions. On the flip side, private companies most often take no action on a substantiated matter, so it appears they are more likely to be operating on the extremes of the potential outcomes. Interestingly, a greater median share of reports received by private companies are related to Business Integrity, which include a variety of legal violations, (21% vs. 18%), while public companies lead in Workplace Conduct reports (58% vs. 53%). Other noteworthy changes among the 24 Risk Types are Insider Trading and Political Activity, which increased by 67% and 32%, respectively. Product Quality and Safety dropped from a four-year high median of 1.93% in 2023 to 1.75% in 2024, a notable decline considering the quality challenges experienced in the aviation, food safety, and other industries in 2024. As noted above, the overall median Substantiation Rate reached a record high of 46%. This upward trend suggests that organizations may soon achieve a 50% substantiation rate for reports. Such a milestone would highlight the effectiveness of compliance programs in investigative practices, reporter education, and the ability to attract high-quality reports. This significant progress underscores the growing maturity and impact of these programs. For the first time, the frequency of reports made via a Web or digital form overtook those made via Hotline (phone) while reports made in person, via mail or other channels outside of Web and Hotline, grew from 34% in 2023 to 37% in 2024. Of the reporting channels, the median Substantiation Rate for other channels was greatest (61%) followed by Web (40%) and Hotline (33%). Regardless of the originating factors, it is clear that the way reporters are speaking out about misconduct is shifting and programs should be empowered to effectively track all intake channels. In 2024, the median reporting rate for retaliation incidents rose from 2.84% to 3.08%, yet overall reporting of these matters remains low with substantiation rates at a mere 18% when compared to the overall substantiation rate of 46%. This data highlights a critical issue: companies must remain vigilant, fostering safer and more transparent work environments. "The most effective compliance programs have strong anti-retaliation components. The NAVEX findings related to the low substantiation rate (18%) on retaliation complaints may indicate less sophisticated and thorough investigation of these types of complaints, which can lead to more litigation and external reporting risk,” said Jane Norberg, Arnold & Porter Partner, and former Chief of the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. “The data we will discuss in the webinar and the NAVEX report are crucial measures for understanding and implementing key risk and compliance strategies this year and beyond.” For more insights, including findings not in the written 2025 Whistleblowing & Incident Management Benchmark Report, join the webinar at 9am PT / 12pm ET on March 20. Jane Norberg, Arnold & Porter Partner and former Chief of the SEC Office of the Whistleblower, Carrie Penman, NAVEX Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, and Anders Olson, NAVEX Senior Manager of Data Science, will host an informative discussion on the results of this year’s analysis. NAVEX is trusted by thousands of customers worldwide to help them achieve the business outcomes that matter most.
