The surge in BK Virus Infection cases spurs treatment opportunities, and many prominent players such as AlloVir, Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, SL VAXiGEN, Hybridize Therapeutics, and others come forward to develop BK Virus Infection therapies.Los Angeles, USA , March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BK Virus Infection Clinical Trials Review: An Update on Emerging Therapies and Treatment The surge in BK Virus Infection cases spurs treatment opportunities, and many prominent players such as AlloVir, Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, SL VAXiGEN, Hybridize Therapeutics, and others come forward to develop BK Virus Infection therapies. DelveInsight’s “BK Virus (BKV) Infection Pipeline Insight'' report provides comprehensive insights about ...4+ companies and ...4+ pipeline drugs in the BK Virus Infection pipeline landscapes. It comprises BKV Infection pipeline drug profiles, including clinical and non-clinical stage products. It also includes the BK Virus Infection therapeutics assessment by product type, stage, route of administration, and molecule type and further highlights the inactive BKV Infection pipeline products. Some of the crucial features of the BK Virus Infection Pipeline Report The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation, and EMA has offered PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) and Orphan Drug (ODD) designations to Viralym-M. The companies such as AlloVir, Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, SL VAXiGEN, Hybridize Therapeutics, and many others are developing therapies to improve BK Virus Infection treatment scenario. BK Virus Infection pipeline assets such as ALVR-105, MAU868, SL-V10, HYB-BKV, and others are in different developmental stages to treat BKV Infection. The BK Virus Infection pipeline has HYB-BKV (Hybridize Therapeutics) in pre-clinical stage of development, while SL-V10 (SL VAXiGEN) and MAU868 (Amplyx Pharmaceuticals) in phase I and Phase II of clinical development respectively. Teriflunomide by Sanofi Genzyme is in the preclinical stage of development for the treatment of Human polyomavirus infections. Request for sample pages @ BK Virus Infection Clinical Trial Insight BK is a circular, double-stranded DNA virus from the polyomavirus family, including the JC virus and SV40. BK virus is one of 13 known polyomaviruses. Antibodies to BKV are available in around 80 to 90 percent of adults globally, indicating previous infection or exposure to the virus. Initial infection with BKV is mostly asymptomatic or associated with a mild flu-like illness. After primary infection, BK Virus Infection continues to be inactive or latent in the kidney and bladder. A weakened immune system may lead to BKV reactivation and cause severe disease. In patients who have had kidney transplants, BK Virus Infection can result in transplanted kidney loss. In the absence of effective treatment, decreasing immunosuppression is recommended; but, reducing the immunosuppression can result in acute organ rejection. BKV reactivation in the bladder can lead to hemorrhagic cystitis. Severe cases need bladder irrigation, clot evacuation, blood transfusion, stenting, and nephrostomy. There are presently no approved treatments for renal nephropathy or hemorrhagic cystitis caused by BK Virus Infection. The backbone of treatment for BK virus nephropathy is to lower the immunosuppression, as there is currently no particular antiviral for the BK virus. Clearance of BK viremia can be a sign of nephropathy resolution. BKV Pipeline Drugs Viralym-M by AlloVir ALVR 105 is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched multi-virus-specific T cell candidate, also known as Viralym-M, developed by AlloVir. Viralym-M is designed to function an essential role in linking immunity between conditioning and reconstitution of their immune systems. Reinstituting immunity during this time of critical immune compromise, Viralym-M may substantially decrease or prohibit virus-associated morbidity and mortality and dramatically enhance patient results. Viralym-M has the potential to transform care for transplant patients fundamentally, as well as people who are at high risk for opportunistic viral infections by decreasing or preventing disease morbidity and dramatically improving. Research and Development Phase III NCT04390113: AlloVir commenced a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Viralym-M (ALVR105) for the treatment of patients with Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) in January 2020. The study aims to assess Viralym-M, an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus-specific T cell therapy, which focuses on six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6, and JC virus. The study hypothesis is to administer Viralym-M to patients with virus-associated HC will show superiority for the time to resolution of HC as compared to patients when treated with placebo. The primary hypothesis will be evaluated in patients with BK virus viruria to show superiority over placebo in this population (BK Intent-to-Treat [ITT] population). A supplementary analysis will be carried out in all patients with any virus-associated HC (cytomegalovirus [CMV], human herpesvirus 6 [HHV-6], Epstein-Barr virus [EBV], JC virus [JCV], and/or adenovirus [AdV]) to assess the efficacy in this broader population (ITT Population). The study is anticipated to be finished by August 2022.

A second member of the regulator that oversees Texas' utilities resigned on Monday in a continuation of the political fallout over a weather-driven crisis in the state's power market. Shelly Botkin resigned effective immediately, the Public Utility Commission of Texas said in a one sentence notice. Electricity and natural gas prices surged as an arctic air mass brought subzero temperatures, killing dozens of people and leaving much of its power market in the throes of a deep financial crisis.

Leon Gast, the director of the Oscar-winning documentary “When We Were Kings,” about Muhammad Ali’s iconic “Rumble in the Jungle” boxing match, has died. He was 85. Gast died on Monday at his home in Woodstock, NY following a long illness, according to the Woodstock Film Festival, of which Gast was a member of the advisory board. “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Academy Award-winning documentarian Leon Gast,” the festival tweeted. “Leon passed away peacefully this morning at his home. A longtime resident of Woodstock, Leon was one of the festival’s earliest friends and supporters. He will be missed dearly.” Also Read: Mark Wilson, '60s TV Magician Known for 'Magic Land of Allakazam,' Dies at 91 Gast was in Kinshasa, Zaire in 1974 attempting to tell a story about a music festival happening in the country before he turned his attention to the fight in which Ali won back the heavyweight title from George Foreman. He would spend over two decades working to complete the film, pivoting instead to documentaries on The Grateful Dead and the Hell’s Angels in order to get the funding to finish it. Part of the trouble was that he had to comb through a mountain of footage and ultimately got funding from his former lawyer David Sonenberg before finally debuting it at Sundance in 1996. “When We Were Kings” won the Special Jury Prize from the festival and would go on to win the Oscar and an Independent Spirit Award that year and has since been held up as one of the greatest sports documentaries ever made. Some of Leon Gast’s other films include “Smash His Camera,” a film about paparazzi photographer Ron Galella, as well as “Manny” about another boxing icon, Manny Pacquiao, that debuted in 2014. Gast is survived by his wife, Geri. We are deeply saddened by the passing of Academy Award-winning documentarian Leon Gast. Leon passed away peacefully this morning at his home.

Mike Foltynewicz is almost as perplexed about how quickly his velocity has returned this spring with the Texas Rangers as the former All-Star was about how quickly it went away last summer when his former team gave up on him. The right-hander peeked at the scoreboard after the first pitch of his spring training debut Monday with Texas and saw 95 mph. He also hit 96-97 mph on other pitches. “Last year, I just literally don’t know what happened,” Foltynewicz said. “I kept throwing and I kept doing everything I needed to do. And I just don’t know what happened. So for all of this to play out right now ... just to see those numbers, yes, it’s very assuring, and that tick of confidence goes up a little bit more.” For both Foltynewicz and the pitching-needy Rangers, who unlike the playoff-bound Atlanta Braves in the shortened season last summer, have some time to find out if the 29-year-old right-hander is getting back to form. Those two perfect innings against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in Arizona were an encouraging first step. “That exceeded my expectations,” manager Chris Woodward said. “It meant the world to him to kind of get back out there and, you know, resemble his old self. And it was easy. It wasn’t like he was trying to force it to be 95, 96 (mph). It just was natural. It’s just the way his body was moving, which it had in the past.” Foltynewicz has added back at least 10 pounds to his lanky 6-foot-4 frame, regaining some strength lost during baseball's shutdown because of the pandemic that started in spring training and lasted about four months. In his only start once the season began, he allowed six runs, three homers and four walks in 3 1/3 innings with a flat fastball at around 90 mph. The Braves designated him for assignment after that 14-5 loss to Tampa Bay, sent him to their alternate site when he wasn't claimed off waivers and didn't offer a new contract after the season. While a bit surprised by the move last summer, Foltynewicz said he understood the Braves were trying to win a championship in a short season — they did get to the NL Championship Series played at the Rangers' new ballpark, and he was there without playing. “They gave me plenty of chances in the past,” he said. “It's a business, I get all of that part of it. But in the back of the mind, it kind of fuels you a little bit when someone gives up on you like that.” An All-Star in 2018, when he was 13-10 with a 2.85 ERA in 31 regular-season starts, Foltynewicz was sent back to Triple-A midway through the 2019 season to work out some early-season issues. He finished strong after getting called back up, then pitched seven scoreless innings against St. Louis in Game 2 of the NL Division Series. But he also started the deciding Game 5 when the Cardinals had a 10-run first inning. Foltynewicz signed a $2 million, one-year contract with Texas just before the start of spring training and is not eligible for free agency until after the 2022 season. Even though Foltynewicz was throwing and running every day when players were away from their teams last year, with gyms closed and lacking certain equipment, he wasn't able to maintain his strength by doing squats and other weights workouts. The impact was obvious, though Foltynewicz and the Rangers said explaining his regained velocity now isn't just as simple as regained strength. “There’s so much more than that,” Woodward said. While Foltynewicz made adjustments to his eating habits and lifestyle, there was also the biomechanical and analytical approach Rangers pitching coaches presented to him even before he signed with them. “Basically diagnosing some of the problems or the things that they could help fix, I think that’s what really set maybe us apart from other teams in his mind,” Woodward said. “And you see the impact that it’s had already. His first outing was it was beyond what I even expected. I was expecting it to be decent, but that was pretty dominant.” It was the kind of velocity that made Foltynewicz successful in the past, since all of his other pitches — slider, changeup and curveball — then work off that. After that initial 95 mph pitch which got out Mookie Betts on a flyball, Foltynewicz said he was able to take a deep breath and then attack hitters and use all of his stuff. “You get weak contact, strikeouts, whatever it may be, and you just have fun," he said. ”You start having fun again in the game of baseball." ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Stephen Hawkins, The Associated Press

The Republican Party intends to keep using former President Donald Trump's name in fundraising pitches and other materials, a lawyer for the party said on Monday, despite a cease-and-desist letter from Trump last week. The letter sent by lawyers for Trump on Friday to the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Campaign and National Republican Senate Campaign had ramped up tension between the two camps as Trump seeks to preserve his political viability post-election. A Trump adviser said on Saturday that Trump was sensitive to the use of his name and likeness for branding purposes and was irked the three groups have supported Republican lawmakers who joined Democrats in voting to impeach him over the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump protesters.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES. TORONTO, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eloro Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Eloro”) (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) is pleased to announce that, in connection with its previously announced bought deal financing (see Eloro press releases dated March 2, 2021 and March 3, 2021), it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the applicable securities regulators in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec. Under the terms of the financing, Haywood Securities Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation as co-lead underwriters and joint-bookrunners, and Cormark Securities Inc. as co-lead underwriter (collectively, the “Underwriters”) have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 5,800,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of C$3.75 per Unit (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds to the Company of C$21,750,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one common share (a “Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price per Warrant Share of C$5.25 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company at any time following the six-month anniversary of the closing date of the Offering and prior to the expiry date of the Warrants if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s Common Shares is greater than C$7.00 for any 20 consecutive trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry date by issuing a press release to announce the reduced warrant term, whereupon the Warrants will expire on the 20th calendar day after the date of such press release.

NEW YORK — It wasn’t “You get a car!” but Oprah Winfrey gave TV executive Jesse Collins something equally, if not even more, cool: “You get to produce the Oscars!” Emmy-nominated Collins has had success over the years with the BET Awards, the Grammy Awards and various TV specials, and now he’s bringing his magical touch to the 2021 Academy Awards, thanks to a co-sign from the queen of all media. “I got an email from Oprah saying, ‘What’s your cell?,’” Collins recalled to The Associated Press. “She had a conversation with Bob Iger and Disney, and she had recommended me for the Oscars. “It’s interesting because (the Academy and I) had met in previous years but then this was the year. I think the Oprah stamp definitely helped push it,” he added. “It’s like the greatest reference you could ever have. You know, on a job reference you put your mom and your best friend who you know won’t say something stupid and your cousin, who also has a good job. Oprah trumps all of that.” Collins’ Oscars gig will come weeks after the March 14 Grammys — this year he's been promoted to co-executive producer — and two months after he became the first Black executive producer of the Super Bowl halftime show. “I did not expect them to all line up like this,” he said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment.” He’s the busiest and most-requested man in showbiz. The 50-year-old is the CEO of Jesse Collins Entertainment, the production company he founded in 2012. He earned an Emmy nomination for producing the 2019 Grammys, and he’s had major success with the Soul Train Awards, Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow,” “Black Girls Rock!” and the three-part “The New Edition Story,” which pulled in record ratings for BET in 2017. He and his all-star team hit new heights with last year’s BET Awards, one of the first awards shows produced during the pandemic. The event was a critical success, as Collins and producers put together a show featuring highly produced and well-crafted pre-taped performances, with some centred around the Black experience highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement, civil rights and the lives of those lost because of police officers, including George Floyd. “I think the BET Awards were a jumping off point for a lot of stuff. All of a sudden people just wanted to know how we did it and what made us go that way. The phone definitely lit up the day after we did the show,” he said. One of those calls came from Desiree Perez, the CEO of Roc Nation, Jay-Z's entertainment company that started producing the halftime show last year. “It was life changing to work on something so prestigious with so much history,” Collins said of the spectacle starring The Weeknd. “Just to see how the machine works that pulls that thing together was amazing. Now I understand how the mechanics of a halftime show work. It’s not like anything else.” Next is the Grammys, which were originally supposed to take place on Jan. 31 but were delayed due to the pandemic. It will mark Collins' 10th year working on the show, where he's held positions like segment producer, consulting producer and producer. Performers include Taylor Swift, Cardi B, BTS, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion and Harry Styles. “It’s going to be entertaining. It’s going to be everything we need it to be at this moment,” he said. “That’s what we’ve been focused on and that’s what we’re going to deliver.” Collins has a long history of working directly with musicians and booking A-listers for big events. He’s collaborated with Cardi B on both “Cardi Tries” on Facebook Watch and “Rhythm + Flow.” The latter series was a 2019 hit for Netflix, and the winner of the show — bilingual rapper D Smoke — is competing for two Grammys, including best rap album and best new artist. “Rhythm + Flow” contrasts recent seasons of “American Idol” and “The Voice,” where its winners find little success and the spotlight remains on the celebrity judges. “It’s a testament to the show,” Collins said, adding that he hopes the series gets renewed for a second season. “We really wanted to create a show where the show would become a steppingstone for the artist to go on and have a legit career.” But the show will have to wait until Collins' schedule clears up. Just hours after he wraps the Grammys, the nominees for the Oscars will be announced: “That’s when it’s like a horse race. The three of us (producers) are coming out the gate.” Collins is the fourth Black producer in the show's 93rd history, and soon after the April 25 event celebrating the year’s best in film, he would have completed his trifecta. And then he can rest. Sort of. “When the Oscars are over, we’re going right into BET Awards,” he said of the event that typically airs in June. “I think I’ll go on vacation to my couch. I’m going to take a strong nap, like a nice old person nap where you say it’s only going to be 15 minutes and you wake up a day later.” Mesfin Fekadu, The Associated Press
