Nature Medicine Publishes Updated Preliminary Phase 1 Data From Elicio Therapeutics' AMPLIFY-201 Phase 1 Solid Tumor Study Of ELI-002

Benzinga

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Colorectal cancer (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are the second and third leading causes of cancer death, respectively. Pancreatic and colorectal cancers are often Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutated and are incurable when tumor DNA or protein persists or recurs after curative intent therapy. KRAS mutations are among the most prevalent human cancers. For these cancers, caused by a mutation of the KRAS gene, clinical-stage biotechnology company Elicio Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: ELTX) is developing a pipeline of novel immunotherapies for treatment. Founded in 2011, Elicio Therapeutics has developed an innovative pipeline of cancer immunotherapies addressing critical unmet needs. Three vaccine candidates are currently in Elicio Therapeutics’ pipeline: ELI-002, ELI-007 and ELI-008. Elicio’s lead clinical program, ELI-002, is a structurally novel investigational AMP therapeutic immunotherapy targeting mutant KRAS-driven cancers. It was designed to stimulate an immune response against the seven KRAS mutations driving 25% of solid tumors. ELI-002 2P has been studied in a phase 1 dose-escalation study in patients with high relapse risk mKRAS-driven solid tumors, following surgery and chemotherapy. After early findings from AMPLIFY-201 were released, ELI-002 was the subject of a publication in Nature Medicine. The paper — “ Lymph Node Targeted, mKRAS-specific Amphiphile Vaccine in Pancreatic and Colorectal Cancer: The phase 1 AMPLIFY-201 Trial ” — details expanded and updated results that point to the power of Elicio Therapeutics’ use of precision vaccines, immunomodulators and cell-based therapies to assemble cancer-killing immune responses against solid tumors. Originally presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and the 2023 AACR Special Conference on Pancreatic Cancer, the data detailed in the publication is as of September 6, 2023. It is based on 25 patients with solid tumors (20 pancreatic, 5 colorectal) who were positive for minimal residual mKRAS disease after locoregional treatment. “When tumor DNA or protein persists or recurs after treatment, patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancers are unfortunately not left with many options and are often incurable,” said study author Shubham Pant, M.D., Associate Professor of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. “These are promising early findings from the AMPLIFY-201 study with follow up ongoing. Most patients reduced their tumor biomarkers with some having complete clearance following treatment with ELI-002.” “The lymph node-targeted cancer vaccine candidate induced direct ex vivo mKRAS-specific T cell responses in 84% of patients, with 59% of patients demonstrating a response with two key types of T cells: helper cells and killer cells,” according to Christopher Haqq, M.D., Ph.D., Elicio’s Executive Vice President, Head of Research and Development, and Chief Medical Officer. “Past studies have not produced this large a fraction of patient response, this high a magnitude of a response or the expansion of both key populations of T cells,” he said. “Importantly, these T cell responses were specific to tumor-driver mutant KRAS neoantigens, correlated with reduced risk of relapse and we saw a pool of memory T cells form that we believe hold promise to confer long-term protection,” Haqq said. “We look forward to progressing ELI-002 into a randomized phase 2 trial as a monotherapy for patients with PDAC.” ELI-002 7P is currently being studied in AMPLIFY-7P, a phase 1/2 trial in patients with high relapse risk mKRAS-driven solid tumors. The ELI-002 7P formulation is designed to provide immune response coverage against seven of the most common KRAS mutations, thereby increasing the potential patient population for ELI-002 and possibly reducing the chance of bypass resistance mechanisms.

Sprott’s Energy Transition ETFs: A Look Back And A Look Ahead

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Sprott is a leader in precious metals and energy transition investments, making strides in the evolving move to cleaner energy. With the launch of five new Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in the first quarter of 2023, Sprott has expanded its offerings for investors to find pure-play exposure to the critical minerals essential for cleaner energy production and storage. Overview Of The Sprott Energy Transition ETFs The year 2023 has exhibited a pivotal shift in the energy sector, with increasing global mandates for reduced carbon emissions increasingly driving capital and interest toward viable energy alternatives. Sprott's Energy Transition ETFs – SETM, LITP, URNM, URNJ, COPJ and NIKL – provide a targeted approach for investment in miners of vital minerals like lithium, uranium, copper, nickel and others pivotal in the broader energy transition. John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, emphasizes the critical role of these minerals in meeting the escalating demand for low-carbon energy solutions. He also highlights the existing gap between supply and demand, largely due to historical underinvestment. This scenario presents a unique opportunity for mining companies in this domain, poised to capitalize on the potential impending surge in investment. Market Trends With each of these new ETFs, Sprott aims to provide investors the opportunity to capitalize on the potentially sizable growth of the low-carbon energy markets throughout this decade. In 2023, the global lithium market was roughly $8.2 billion, but it is estimated to see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2024 all the way to 2030. Meanwhile, the uranium market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.06% up to 2027, while copper is estimated to see a CAGR of 4.21% through 2029. Market predictions are always subject to the possibility of error, especially when forecasting far into the future, but there are only a handful of minerals capable of filling the void left by fossil fuels. The extent to which the broader energy transition materializes is to be seen, but markets will have to rely heavily on one or all of the viable alternatives if we are to make any meaningful progress toward decarbonization. Individual ETF Focus Each ETF in Sprott's portfolio offers a unique investment opportunity within the energy sector: SETM: Focused on a broad range of critical minerals essential in the transition to clean energy. LITP: Concentrated on the lithium industry critical to meeting increasing electric vehicle (EV) demand, including lithium producers, developers and explorers. URNM: Tracks the performance of companies that devote 50%+ of assets to the uranium mining industry. URNJ: Targeted at small-cap uranium miners integral to the nuclear energy sector. COPJ: Centered on small-cap miners in the copper industry, which are essential for electrical infrastructure across industries. NIKL: Tracks the performance of a selection of securities in the nickel industry, including producers, developers and explorers. 2023 Performance Analysis Despite a troubling year battling the steep rise in interest rates, the long-term outlook of Sprott’s energy ETFs remains focused on the vital role of these minerals in the burgeoning low-carbon energy sector, particularly in EVs. “As the global energy transformation advances, a new commodity supercycle is emerging.” Sprott’s Jacob White CFA, and Paul Wong, CFA and Market Strategist said. The year-to-date performances of Sprott’s Energy Transition ETFs are as follows: SETM: -11.60% LITP: -35.77% URNM: 56.88% URNJ: 20.05% COPJ: -7.18% NIKL: -18.43% Looking Ahead to 2024 As we approach 2024, the market outlook remains cautiously optimistic. The potential growth in the energy transition materials market is closely tied to global policies and economic factors. While challenges are inevitable, the potential opportunities in this sector remain substantial, especially given the increasing focus on sustainable energy solutions and government-driven mandates and incentives such as those outlined in the Inflation Reduction Act. “Global metal consumption is forecasted to rise in 2024, fueled by the burgeoning renewable energy sector and the EV market. This "green boom" is expected to offset sluggishness in more traditional industries.” Sprott’s Jacob White CFA, and Paul Wong, CFA and Market Strategist said. The Energy Evolution Investing in Sprott's energy transition ETFs offers a strategic pathway for investors to align with the global shift toward sustainable energy through a variety of commodity subsectors. While the investment landscape in each sector is subject to its supply and demand dynamics, the underlying trend toward cleaner energy solutions underscores the potential for growth and the importance of these investments in a diversified portfolio.

These Two Assets Historically Limited To Ultra-Wealthy Investors Have Seen Triple Digit Returns Over The Past Decade – Vint Expands Access With Latest Fund

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Invest in long-term appreciation opportunities through fine wine and rare whisky here. Great taste and a nice buzz aren’t the only things you can toast when it comes to fine wine and rare whisky. There’s also the potential for a nice return on them as asset classes. Over the past few years, fine wine and rare whisky prices have witnessed growth as investors turn to them as a way to diversify and hedge against inflation. The Knight Frank Fine Wine Icons Index (KFFWII), which tracks a sector of wines that represent the fine wine investment market, is up 149% over the past ten years. Meanwhile, the Knight Frank Rare Whisky index, which tracks the auction results of a basket of rare Scottish single malts, is up 586% over the past decade. Leveling The Playing Field Despite the returns, getting access to this multi-billion dollar market historically favored by the ultra-wealthy can be difficult for regular investors. Historically, industry insiders and members of hard-to-get-on allocation lists are the ones who get to take part in this alternative investment opportunity. That’s changing thanks to companies like Vint. The platform for wine and spirits collection investing is leveling the playing field through its equity products and marketplace, giving investors and consumers access to fine wine and rare spirits with the potential for long-term appreciation. Learn more about the fine wines and whiskies at Vint’s marketplace. Vint’s innovation aims to capitalize on emerging trends while improving access to these investment opportunities. Demand for the top French wines is growing at the same time that access to them is proving difficult. That has created what the company says is a significant pricing delta among the U.S., Europe and Asia for many of these assets. Through its funds, Vint aims to give investors an efficient and tax-advantaged investment product to capitalize on this arbitrage. The company uses collected investor capital to buy physical bottles and cases of wine and whisky in one region and sell them in another. Once an asset sale is made, Vint reinvests the funds and any gains into new purchases. Best Of Both Worlds With Vint’s New Fund To encapsulate that opportunity in both the wine and whisky markets, Vint recently launched the Vint Futures and Casks I (VV-FC1) fund. Open to accredited investors with a minimum investment of $2,500, the goal of the fund is to give investors a blended approach to investing in wine and spirits and capture the quality potential from recent vintages of top wine from Bordeaux and other regions while also leveraging the strong demand and trading activity of spirits casks. What drives prices for spirits casks and wine futures is the scarcity. When producers limit the release, the market value tends to soar. As it ages and is consumed, quality and scarcity increase, driving the value of the wine or whisky higher. This gives investors the potential for long-term appreciation. Over the years spirits and wine have proven to be a solid investment, outperforming the broader markets. A popular way to gain exposure to fine wine and rare whisky is through wine and spirits futures. These enable investors to invest in the assets at their release price, providing the potential for significant upside as the price increases. Bordeaux wines, known for their aging potential are one example of a wine that could provide long-term appreciation, but there are others, as well. Cask investing affords investors the same opportunity. The only difference is the aging of whisky and rum is in a barrel or cask rather than a bottle. The Vint Futures and Casks I fund gives investors the best of both worlds, with a target composition of 70% wine futures and 30% spirits casks and a projected hold time of five to six years. Get wine and whisky exposure through the Vint Futures and Casks I Fund. Knowledge Is Power Vint should know a thing or two about fine wine and aged whisky. The company has been around since 2019, offering equity products to investors who want exposure to these luxury asset classes. It also operates the Vint marketplace which sells fine wines and rare spirits to collectors, consumers and merchants. The marketplace was created to give investors the best exit price for Vint investment assets all the while mitigating investment fees. At last check, the Vint marketplace had over $70 million in assets and hundreds of customers. Vint also has performance to back it up – the company has returned capital from 14 deals resulting in an average realized net IRR of 28.7%. Fine wine and rare spirits investing has long been the domain of a select few. Vint is changing that by giving more investors access to what has the potential for long-term appreciation. Now that’s something to cheer about. Use the Vint platform to invest for as little as $2500.

Unveiling Mike Johnson's Vision for the Evolving Cryptocurrency Era in Finance

ZEX GLOBAL MEDIA

The financial landscape is undergoing a substantial metamorphosis, characterized by a growing exodus of individuals diverting their capital from conventional banks towards the realm of cryptocurrencies. This phenomenon has triggered a range of reactions from banking institutions, with some appearing to discourage this shift. This article explores the underlying reasons behind these reactions, bridging the complexities of traditional banking and the allure of digital currencies. Furthermore, it incorporates insights from Mike Johnson, an accomplished investor and former banker who has made a remarkable transition into a fervent advocate for the world of cryptocurrencies. Traditional Banking at a Crossroads: Navigating Challenges Amid the surge in Cryptocurrencies The cornerstone of traditional banking is built upon established models like the fractional reserve banking system, in which client deposits function as a lever for lending and investment activities. However, this system faces challenges when significant sums of money flow into the volatile realm of cryptocurrencies. The redirection of said funds doesn’t just diminish the lending capacity of banks but also presents potential threats to liquidity and their overall financial stability. Banks' concerns extend beyond the present financial repercussions, encompassing the shadow of instability stemming from a widescale shift toward investments in cryptocurrency. The cagey or repressive stance taken by financial institutions in this context can be perceived as a measured strategy for risk management, serving the both the purpose of protecting individual investors, as well as the financial institution. Mike Johnson's Perspective: Shifting from a Banker to Becoming a Crypto Advocate" Providing a unique viewpoint on the ever-shifting financial terrain, Mike Johnson, a former banker-turned-passionate advocate for cryptocurrencies, illuminates the profound shift taking place. Johnson contends that embracing cryptocurrencies goes beyond mere financial decision-making; it signifies a cultural transformation. He passionately states, "It's about seizing ownership of your financial future." In his view, traditional banks, while offering stability, exemplify a system which is intrinsically inflexible and generally slow to embrace innovation. According to Hyman, not only do cryptocurrencies promise significant gains, but they also represent a more flexible and inclusive financial system. While confirming the intrinsic risks that correspond with cryptocurrencies, he maintains that said risks are an essential part of their transformative appeal. He recognizes the tentative stance adopted by banks as a characteristic defensive tactic, but encourages an approach that is more forward-thinking, proposing that banks explore the integration of cryptocurrency based solutions as part of their services. Striking a Balance Between apprehension and Opportunity This prudent approach taken by financial institutions, as previously emphasized, may lead to behavior that might appear to discourage the movement of funds into the cryptocurrency realm. These actions can take the form of increased risk advisories, the implementation of more stringent regulations on transfers, and even categorical measures of discouragement. At this juncture where conventional banking meets the expanding cryptocurrency landscape, the fine equilibrium between caution and the myriad of possibilities that cryptocurrencies offer become all the more apparent. Drawing Insights: Balancing the advancing Financial Landscape The shift from conventional banking to the world of cryptocurrencies represents a significant upheaval in the world of finance. As banks proactively adopt measures to protect their own interests as well as the interests of their clients, these actions form a crucial part of a larger equilibrium within a constantly changing financial environment. Mike Johnson's perspectives serve as a passionate call to remember the importance of adopting a balanced stance. This approach recognizes the stability that traditional banking offers, while also embracing the inherent transformative potential of cryptocurrencies. In an environment where the financial landscape constantly morphs, the strategies that financial institutions and investors rely on must remain adaptable, each navigating through the ever-changing and evolving landscape with foresight and agility.
