Market Alert: Palatin's Disruptive Obesity Drug Combination Shows Groundbreaking Weight Loss Results in Phase 2 Topline Data (NYSE: PTN)

Global Markets News

Palatin Technologies* has unveiled compelling topline results from its Phase 2 study showing that patients receiving its obesity drug bremelanotide in combination with tirzepatide achieved a 4.4% weight reduction compared to just 1.6% for placebo—a highly statistically significant difference (p<0.0001). The eight-week trial demonstrated that combining these two mechanisms creates a synergistic effect, with 40% of patients in the combination group achieving at least 5% weight loss compared to 27% with tirzepatide alone. The economic potential of anti-obesity drugs is enormous, with the market expected to reach US$100 billion by 2030. As obesity rates continue to climb globally, with the number of obese individuals worldwide projected to increase from 980 million to nearly 2 billion from 2022 to 2035, innovative treatment approaches like Palatin's are positioning themselves in this rapidly expanding market. Perhaps most intriguing for the obesity treatment landscape, Palatin's data revealed that its drug effectively halted the rapid weight regain typically seen after stopping GLP-1/GIP therapy. This addresses one of the most significant challenges facing current obesity treatments, where patients often regain substantial weight after discontinuation. The economic potential of anti-obesity drugs is enormous, with the market expected to reach US$100 billion by 2030. As obesity rates continue to climb globally, with the number of obese individuals worldwide projected to increase from 980 million to nearly 2 billion from 2022 to 2035, innovative treatment approaches like Palatin's are positioning themselves in this rapidly expanding market. Palatin is advancing development of next-generation long-acting injectable and oral versions of its obesity compounds, with investigational new drug applications planned for late 2025 and clinical data expected in early 2026. The company is one of just two developing therapies targeting this specific biological pathway for obesity. This announcement follows recent positive news from Palatin's ulcerative colitis program and FDA orphan drug designation for its oral obesity compound for rare genetic obesity disorders, demonstrating the company's momentum across multiple therapeutic areas with significant unmet needs.

Coolidge Reagan Foundation Files Congressional Ethics, FEC, and DOJ Criminal Complaints Against Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Coolidge Reagan Foundation

The Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), a First Amendment watchdog, has filed a series of complaints against Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), alleging serious ethical and legal violations, including voter intimidation, fraudulent campaign contributions, and misconduct in office. The complaints, simultaneously submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), expose Rep. Crockett’s alleged illegal activities and efforts to undermine fair elections and democratic processes. “Rep. Crockett’s reckless rhetoric and open encouragement of political violence are not only unacceptable but dangerously irresponsible, stated Shaun McCutcheon, Chairman of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation. “While I am an advocate for Free Speech, the fact is no Member of Congress should be inciting attacks on American voters. You can’t call on your supporters to attack people any more than you can yell fire in a crowded theater. Her actions must be condemned and investigated.” “This is a blatant abuse of power and a direct assault on free and fair elections,” Dan Backer, Counsel to CRF added. “From voter intimidation to potentially fraudulent campaign financing, Rep. Crockett’s conduct raises serious legal and ethical concerns. The American people deserve accountability, and Crockett must answer for her unethical, potentially criminal, and just plain dirty acts.” The complaint filed with the Department of Justice highlights Rep. Crockett’s alarming rhetoric and online activity, which appear to violate the Federal Voting Rights Act prohibiting voter intimidation. On March 9, 2025, Crockett circulated an animated video through social media depicting a cartoon version of herself and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brutally attacking a Republican voter. This video, broadcast to hundreds of thousands of her followers, not only condones but seemingly encourages political violence against Republicans. Her public statements, including referring to "full-on combat," further demonstrate a pattern of incitement that places American voters at risk. CRF is calling on the DOJ to investigate these actions under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(b) and other applicable federal statutes. CRF's complaint to the FEC details an apparent scheme in which Rep. Crockett’s campaign committee, ‘Jasmine for US’, accepted and falsely reported contributions processed through ActBlue. The filing reveals that an elderly retiree, Mr. Randy Best of Plano, Texas, was listed as making over 2,500 contributions totaling more than $21,000 – including more than 50 to Crockett (transactions that Mr. Best’s wife denies ever occurred). The sheer volume and pattern of these donations suggest an elaborate money-laundering scheme orchestrated through ActBlue to funnel illegal contributions to Democratic candidates, including Rep. Crockett. CRF demands an immediate FEC investigation into these violations of 52 U.S.C. § 30122, which prohibits accepting contributions in the name of, or with the funds of, another. In addition to potential criminal and campaign finance violations, CRF has also filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics, asserting that Rep. Crockett has engaged in behavior that fails to reflect creditably on the U.S. House of Representatives. Her public threats against Republican officials, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and former President Donald Trump (paired with the incendiary video) constitute a clear violation of House Rule XXIII, which mandates ethical conduct by Members. Furthermore, her acceptance of potentially fraudulent contributions through ActBlue raises serious concerns about her fitness for office and adherence to congressional financial disclosure requirements. Shaun McCutcheon further emphasized the seriousness of the complaints stating “Congresswoman Crockett’s actions are a disgrace to the office she holds. Inciting violence against political opponents and engaging in fraudulent campaign finance practices are violations that cannot be ignored. CRF will not stand idly by while elected officials break the law and erode trust in our institutions.” Dan Backer added “We have seen a disturbing trend where ActBlue is used as a willing conduit for a potentially 8 or 9 figure sum of illegal campaign money laundering, and Rep. Crockett’s campaign is just one example. The FEC must investigate this apparent scheme to launder funds in the names of unsuspecting donors. Additionally, her rhetoric and public statements demand a full review by the DOJ for potential voter intimidation violations.” CRF calls for swift action to hold Rep. Crockett accountable and protect the integrity of our democratic process. The news of these complaints was first reported by Fred Lucas in the Daily Signal. ### Please visit: https://www.coolidgereagan.org/ For more information or to schedule an interview with a CRF spokesperson, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Coolidge Reagan Foundation Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://www.coolidgereagan.org/

Direxion Expands Single Stock Leveraged & Inverse ETF Lineup for Exposure to Eli Lilly & Palo Alto Networks

Direxion

Direxion, a pioneer in Single Stock Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, expanded its suite of high-powered trading tools with the launch of four new funds tracking the performance of Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) and Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (PANW). These funds provide traders with amplified, or inverse, exposure to two of the most dynamic sectors – pharmaceuticals and cybersecurity – through the Direxion Daily LLY Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: ELIL) and Direxion Daily LLY Bear 1X Shares (Ticker: ELIS), or the Direxion Daily PANW Bull 2X Shares (Ticker: PALU) and Direxion Daily PANW Bear 1X Shares (Ticker: PALD). “These new ETFs give active traders an edge, whether they want to double down on momentum, or hedge against volatility, in two industry-leading stocks,” said Douglas Yones, CEO of Direxion. “Eli Lilly’s innovation in healthcare, and Palo Alto Networks’ in cybersecurity, make them prime candidates for our growing suite of tactical trading tools. We remain committed to launching new ETF solutions for short-term traders, with more to come in the near future." As ground-breaking products built for active traders, Direxion’s pairs of single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs are meant to be used for short-term trading purposes. Leveraged and inverse single stock ETFs should not be viewed as buy and hold investments, but rather trading tools for traders with a high-risk tolerance. In addition, unlike traditional ETFs, or even other levered and/or inverse ETFs, these ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged and inverse ETFs – including single stock ETFs – are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision. These solutions are available for a broad spectrum of investors, whether executing short-term tactical trades, or investing in thematic strategies. Direxion’s reputation is founded on developing products that precisely express market perspectives and allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Founded in 1997, the company has approximately $47.0 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024. For more information, please visit www.direxion.com. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. For more information on all Direxion Shares ETFs, go to www.direxion.com, or call us at 866.301.9214. An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866.476.7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock’s performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in LLY or PANW. Direxion Shares Risks – An investment in a Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning. Leverage Risk – The Bull Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. A total loss may occur in a single day. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with LLY or PANW and may increase the volatility of the Bull Fund. Daily Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bull Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with LLY or PANW and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The Bull Fund’s exposure to LLY or PANW is impacted by LLY or PANW’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bull Fund will be perfectly exposed to LLY or PANW at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bull Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to LLY or PANW increases on days when LLY or PANW is volatile near the close of the trading day. Daily Inverse Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bear Fund’s ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with LLY or PANW and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. The Bear Fund’s exposure to LLY or PANW is impacted by LLY or PANW’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bear Fund will be perfectly exposed to LLY or PANW at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bear Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to LLY or PANW increases on days when LLY or PANW is volatile near the close of the trading day. Eli Lilly and Company Investing Risk – Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. Eli Lilly and Company faces risks associated with: costly and uncertain research and development of its products; maintaining intellectual property protections; intense competition from multinational pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, and lower-cost generic and biosimilar manufacturers; increasing government price controls and other public and private restrictions on pricing, reimbursement, and access for its drugs; the development of safety or efficacy concerns; among other risks.. Pharmaceutical Industry Risk – The profitability of pharmaceutical companies is highly dependent on the development, procurement and marketing of drugs and the development, protection and exploitation of intellectual property rights and other proprietary information. These companies may be significantly affected by the expiration of patents or the loss of, or the inability to enforce, intellectual property rights. Healthcare Sector Risk — Companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive, costly and uncertain government regulation, rising costs of medical products and services, changes in the demand for medical products and services, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited product lines, industry innovation and/or consolidation, changes in technologies and other market developments. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. Investing Risk – Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. faces risks associated with: development of new products and services may be difficult; may be unable to attract new customers; reliance on channel partners; credit and liquidity risk of customers; sales to government entities may be subject to greater scrutiny; intense competition; among other risks. Information Technology Sector Risk — The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production cost. Additional risks of each Fund include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Market Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, and Cash Transaction Risk. Additionally, for the Direxion Daily LLY Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily PANW Bear 1X Shares, Shorting or Inverse Risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of a Fund. Distributor: ALPS Distributors, Inc.

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.
