Citius Pharmaceuticals To Receive 65 Million Shares Of TenX Keane For Merger Of Citius Oncology

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Citius Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXR), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, is progressing with its focus on unlocking value for investors by announcing that shareholders of TenX Keane Acquisition (NASDAQ: TENK), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, have voted to approve the previously announced business combination between TenX Keane and Citius Pharma’s oncology subsidiary. The newly combined public company will continue to trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange and is to be renamed Citius Oncology, Inc. In October, Citius announced it was spinning out its wholly-owned oncology unit to form Citius Oncology, a standalone publicly traded entity. Under the terms of the deal, Citius Pharma is getting 65.6 million shares of common stock of Citius Oncology, which would represent approximately 90% of the newly public company. As part of the transaction, Citius Pharma will contribute $10 million in cash to Citius Oncology. An additional 12.75 million existing options will be assumed by Citius Oncology. At closing, any cash remaining in TenX’s trust account along with the cash provided by Citius Pharma will be contributed to Citius Oncology for working capital and general corporate purposes of Citius Oncology following the transaction. Unlocking Significant Value Citius previously stated that the SPAC deal is expected to unlock significant value for Citius shareholders by separating the oncology business, potentially leading to increased access to capital markets and further development of new applications and additional intellectual property. It also underscores Citius’ strategy to purchase assets, develop them and bring them to market and then unlock shareholder value. First Out Of The Gate: LYMPHIR Citius Oncology will serve as a platform to develop and commercialize novel targeted oncology therapies. The first to go to market will be LYMPHIR, a recombinant fusion protein designed to treat T-cell lymphomas. Citius said the deal is expected to provide Citius Oncology with improved access to the public equity markets and thereby facilitate the commercialization of LYMPHIR and position the company to explore additional value-creating opportunities more fully. The drug agent LYMPHIR combines the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. In 2011 and 2013, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to LYMPHIR for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In 2021, Citius acquired an exclusive license with rights to develop and commercialize LYMPHIR in all markets except for Japan and certain other parts of Asia. In March this year, the FDA accepted Citius’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for LYMPHIR with a decision expected on August 13, 2024, the FDA's assigned Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date. If approved, Citius is preparing for LYMPHIR commercialization later this year. “The reason we are doing this is acquire a Nasdaq listing by having the SPAC acquire the assets and at the same time it enables us to do something to prevent dilution for shareholders,” said Leonard Mazur, CEO of Citius in a recent interview with Benzinga. The CEO counts himself as one of the shareholders. He has invested $22.5 million of his own money in the business. “During the first year on the market we will be profitable. All that benefits Citius shareholders,” he said. Featured photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash.

Indian Spiritual Leader Morari Bapu Dedicates Ram Katha at the United Nations to the Organisation for World Peace

Morari Bapu

Morari Bapu today dedicated his nine-day-long spiritual event at the United Nations Headquarters to the organization and prayed for world peace. After concluding the discourse, he walked to the General Assembly of the UN, where he placed the Ram Charita Manas (Ramayana) of Goswami Tulsidas and chanted the Vedic hymn: Om Sarve BhavantuSukhinah Sarve Santu Niraamayaah | Sarve BhadraanniPashyantu Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | (Om, May All be Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is Auspicious, May no one Suffer.) The leading light of Hindu Vedic Sanatana Dharma then chanted the name of his discourse, “VasudhaivaKutumbakam,” followed by the holy greeting of ‘Jai Siya Ram’. VasudhaivaKutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase found in Hindu sacred texts such as the Maha Upanishad, meaning "The World Is One Family." Morari Bapu held a spiritual and historic nine-day Ram Katha discourse (narration of Ramayana) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York; a first-of-its-kind event by any spiritual leader. The event took place between July 27 – August 04, 2024. The Hindu spiritual guru said that the main and special shrotas (listeners) of this discourse were the five elements – sky, water, earth, air, and fire. During the course of the week, Morari Bapu met the UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed, who said, “While you had circumambulated the United Nations Headquarters building earlier, you are now at its heart.” She added that the event had bolstered efforts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Morari Bapu reciprocated the warm sentiment by communicating that his “Vyaspeetha will always be with the UNO program for world peace, world progress, and world happiness.” Many years ago, Bapu had walked around the UN Headquarters while chanting the holy name. This time, he repeatedly emphasised that world leaders must rise above petty interests and make a full effort to end wars that are on in Israel and Ukraine. Earlier on July 30, several dignitaries attended the discourse, including Commissioner of International Affairs Edward Mermelstein, Deputy Commissioner of International Affairs Dilip Chauhan from the NYC Mayor’s Office for International Affairs along with Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Staff Aissata Camara.The NYC Mayor’s Office also extended the highest honour to Morari Bapu’s Vyaspeetha. Consul General of India in New York Binaya Srikanta Pradhan and Surendra K. Adhana, Counsellor & Head of Chancery at the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, were also esteemed guests. The spiritual leader’s teachings aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. He cited examples from the Ram Charita Manas to explore how these SDG themes were elaborated and advocated in the sacred text. On the concluding day, Morari Bapu related the characteristics of Ram Rajya, or the rule of the ideal king Lord Ram, and how these too exemplified a model code of life that matched the principles of the United Nations. About Morari Bapu Morari Bapu, a renowned exponent of the Ramayana, has been reciting Ram Kathas for over sixty-five years. He draws from Vedic Sanatana Dharma, popularly known as Hindu Sanatana Dharma. His narrations are celebrated worldwide for their emphasis on universal peace and messages of truth, love, and compassion. Bapu’s unique approach draws upon examples from various religions, inviting people of all faiths to partake in the spiritual journey. Morari Bapu began his remarkable journey of reciting the Ram Charita Manas, a revered version of the Ramayana by Goswami Tulsidas, at the age of fourteen in front of a small village audience. Over the decades, he has held Ram Kathas in numerous cities and pilgrimage sites across India and around the world, including Kailash, Bhusundi Sarovar, Rakshas Taal, and the 12 Jyotirlingas which he covered on the train. He also conducted kathas globally in countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Kenya, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Australia, Israel, and Japan, attracting millions of followers. Beyond traditional venues, Bapu has also conducted Ram Kathas for marginalized communities, including sex workers and transgender individuals. He is actively involved in extensive humanitarian efforts including during the period of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Mental health issues are on the rise, affecting almost 60 million US adults and more than 970 million people worldwide. 1 Rising cases has led to an uptick in new treatments moving through the clinical stages, including Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), which is focused on developing next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among its promising pipeline, AL001 stands out as a potential game-changer for bipolar disorder treatment. Alzamend Neuro 's AL001, a patented ionic cocrystal technology, aims to deliver lithium in a way that reduces toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy by combining lithium, salicylate, and L-proline. Alzamend Neuro is rapidly advancing treatments for mental health disorders, potentially accelerating clinical phase progress due to the successes of AL001 in a Phase I and Phase IIA clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. In 2023, the company filed IND applications for Phase IIA Clinical Trials of AL001 for Bipolar Disorder, MDD and PTSD. By the end of 2023, the FDA granted approval for these studies via “Study may proceed” letters. Alzamend Neuro Partners with MGH for Phase II Trial of Next-Generation Lithium Therapeutic Drug Candidate for Bipolar Disorder On August 6th, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) announced a partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001 for treatment of patients with bipolar disorder. MGH, the primary clinical education and research facility of Harvard Medical School, is the world's largest hospital-based research program. Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University and Director of Multinuclear Metabolic Imaging at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, will lead the study as the Principal Investigator. The trial will compare AL001 to a marketed lithium carbonate product, focusing on bioavailability and brain distribution of lithium, with the goal of establishing AL001's safe, effective, and tolerable dosing requirements. AL001 is designed to offer the therapeutic benefits of traditional lithium salts while minimizing their toxic side effects. This head-to-head study will measure lithium levels in the brain and structures of bipolar disorder patients, building on mouse studies that suggest AL001 can achieve therapeutic benefits at lower doses. The study will also leverage brain imaging to predict the efficacy and safety of AL001 compared to existing lithium treatments. Alzamend Neuro 's previous Phase IIA studies of AL001 in Alzheimer's patients and healthy subjects have demonstrated a benign safety profile, identifying a candidate dose unlikely to require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This is a significant advancement, as current lithium treatments require rigorous monitoring due to their narrow therapeutic window and potential toxicity. “We are elated to partner with Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Andronesi in this pivotal study for our lead therapeutic candidate AL001,” said Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) CEO Stephan Jackman, “If we can develop a next-generation lithium product (AL001) with an improved safety profile and enhanced biodistribution in the brain that would not routinely require therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), it would constitute a major improvement over current lithium-based treatments and positively impact the 7+ million Americans afflicted with bipolar disorder. We look forward to providing more details regarding study timelines and market opportunity in the near future.” This innovation has the potential to positively impact the over 7 million Americans living with bipolar disorder. Further details about the study timelines and market potential will be shared soon. Alzamend Neuro to Conduct a Phase II Clinical Trial of AL001, involving Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) also just announced a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct A Phase II clinical trial for AL001, for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This trial will involve both Alzheimer’s patients and healthy subjects to compare the bioavailability and brain distribution of AL001 versus a marketed lithium carbonate product. The trial, which will also be led by Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi of Harvard University, aim to establish AL001's safe, effective, and tolerable dosing requirements. The potential to avoid the need for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is also significant, as it could simplify treatment regimens and improve patient compliance. By potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional lithium treatments, AL001 could revolutionize how Alzheimer's disease is managed. The ability to measure lithium levels directly in the brain and brain structures using advanced imaging techniques will provide invaluable insights into the drug’s efficacy and safety. This approach not only enhances our understanding of how AL001 works but also supports its potential approval through a Section 505(b)(2) pathway with the FDA. If successful, the trial could pave the way for a new era in Alzheimer's treatment, providing hope for millions of patients and their families. Financial Support for Clinical Trial In addition to this groundbreaking partnership, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) recently secured the first two tranches of a $25 million Series A purchasing agreement. This investment supports the advancement of Alzamend 's clinical trial and the development of next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, MDD, and PTSD. CEO Stephan Jackman emphasized the company's dedication to advancing clinical milestones and revolutionizing lithium-based therapies for millions affected by these conditions.

How Mutual Funds And Self-Directed Investing Go Hand In Hand

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga The investment world has experienced a significant transformation over the last 20 years. Technology innovation has made it possible for individual investors to trade from the comfort of their own homes, using a computer or even a mobile device thanks to the rise of money apps. And while trading securities is more accessible than ever before, investing can seem overwhelming when you don’t know where to begin. Nevertheless, more people are dabbling with day trading these days, especially since the pandemic. The number of stock market traders increased from 15% in 2019 to 25% in 2021, and retail investor sentiment hit an all-time high in early 2023 buoyed by the opportunities presented by AI. But picking winning stocks from the multitudes available and trying to time the markets regularly can be a losing game for many. Fortunately, mutual fund investing offers a different approach that can help with these concerns. In a nutshell, mutual funds are investment products that provide exposure to a basket of carefully picked securities. As a result, investors don’t have to worry about choosing individual stocks or bonds. Mutual funds harness the capital of many investors, following a specific strategy to reach clearly defined goals, and also serve as a gateway toward investors eventually making their own calls. According to the Investment Company Institute (ICI), over half ( 52.3% ) of American households owned mutual funds in 2023, most of whom used them as a way to save for retirement. Mutual funds are popular for many reasons, not least being: Wealth Building: Mutual funds have played a key role in generating wealth for families over the last 100 years, thanks to their ability to potentially deliver desirable returns with relatively lower effort. Financial Security: Mutual funds introduce investors to investment options that they might otherwise miss out on, increasing the chances of reaching financial goals. Diversification: Mutual funds allow investors to gain exposure to any combination of securities across jurisdictions and sectors of the economy. Whether it’s technology stocks, bonds or emerging market securities, there’s a mutual fund for that. Mutual funds fall into one of two buckets: open-ended or closed-ended funds. While both types offer investors diversification and securities handpicked by a professional portfolio manager, but there are nuances between them. Open-Ended Funds: The lion’s share of mutual funds falls into this category. Open-ended means new shares are constantly being issued to replace existing shares being bought and sold in circulation. There’s no cap. The price of the fund reflects the net asset value, or NAV, comprising the fund’s assets less any liabilities. Investors buy and sell open-ended mutual funds based on the net asset value per share of the fund. Considering the set number of shares in an open-ended fund, the price tends to remain stable. Closed-Ended Funds: These mutual funds also trade in the financial markets but are more akin to stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). After amassing capital for the fund, the issuer offers a set number of shares in an initial public offering (IPO) that trades, closing the door to new cash to run the fund. Fund prices change during the trading day and therefore can be more volatile, either hovering at a premium (above) or discount (below) NAV. Axos Invest Has You Covered With A Self-Directed Account There’s no shortage of ways to invest in mutual funds. But if you are looking to gain greater control over your financial future, consider a self-directed account like the one offered by Axos Invest, the investment arm of digital banking pioneer Axos Bank. Direct investing means you get to decide when you’re ready to invest. With the exception of the online platform on which you’re investing, there’s no third party between you and the markets to tell you when and how much to allocate. At Axos Invest, this means accessing a straightforward platform as well as commission-free investments including mutual funds. Investing in mutual funds through an Axos Invest self-directed account gives you the best of both worlds: an opportunity to stay in the driver’s seat of your portfolio and the potential to achieve your financial goals. At Axos, you’ll find access to over 10,000 mutual funds on an intuitive trading platform, plus a host of other services that Axos says other brokers can’t provide. At Axos, you can forget about high fees, thereby allowing you to reclaim your investment independence. In addition to commission-free trading, an Axos Invest self-directed trading account includes features like minimum balance requirements that typically hover at $100 (many mutual funds have lower minimums). As a result, one-share purchases in mutual funds are permissible in many cases. And if you’re looking to achieve the compounding effect, similar to dividend investing, take advantage of Axos Scheduler to set up an automatic contribution plan and grow your account. Once you dip your toes into self-directed investing, you’ll find that Axos will be by your side the entire way. Their streamlined platform unifies your accounts in one place, making self-directed mutual fund investing as simple and efficient as possible. Plus, you won’t have to leave the platform to perform due diligence on funds because market data and research are only a few clicks away. When it comes time to decide on a fund, you complete the trade how you see fit. Consider opening an Axos Invest account today, which you can do in a matter of minutes, so you can experience all the benefits that mutual fund investing from a self-directed account has to offer today.
