NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As students head back to school, Verizon is continuing to bolster immersive learning content across its award-winning Verizon Innovative Learning education initiative, through a suite of programs and resources, aimed at driving digital equity and inclusion for teachers and students across the nation. Verizon’s impactful partnerships with trusted education companies, edtech innovators and cultural institutions enable educators to access new tech-driven lesson plans that utilize the power of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) apps in the classroom.

Launched in 2021, Verizon Innovative Learning HQ, an award-winning, free education portal that makes the next-gen learning tools of the overarching Verizon Innovative Learning initiative available to all K-12 educators nationwide, is unveiling even more immersive educational content, including AR and VR apps with accompanying lesson plans. The company is building on hundreds of lesson plans and 15 AR and VR apps currently available on the education portal by adding four additional apps and more lesson plans from partner organizations, all designed to increase student engagement and allow for an innovative approach to learning. Educators can also access extensive training and resources through the education portal, enabling them to teach students in new and engaging ways and to provide them with the skills they need to thrive in a digital-centric world.

The new integrated resources were designed to enable educators to integrate technology into the classroom in all subjects. New immersive content being released from new and existing partners within the 2022-2023 school year includes:

  • Current Studios: The innovation studio known for specializing in AR, experience design and artificial intelligence – and which developed the Verizon Innovative Learning Lab Online app – has now designed four unique AR STEM career exploration challenges for high school students that will focus on areas such as Cybersecurity and Esports, as well as a paleontology-themed AR app where grades K-5 students can become virtual paleontologists. The studio is also relaunching the Career Day app, enabling students to unlock new potential career paths by engaging in interviews with accomplished STEM professionals, including those at Verizon, through AR.
  • Discovery Education: Building off an existing collaboration with Verizon, the worldwide edtech leader developed new humanities-focused lesson plans, adding to its library of curriculum for the new AR experience – TimePod Adventures app. This AR experience developed for grades 3-12 allows them to virtually travel through time to visit Mars and examine the evolution of political systems and different types of government to make a recommendation as to how Mars should be governed once a community is established.
  • Doughboy Foundation: The non-profit whose mission supports programs, projects and activities commemorating and educating about America’s role in World War I, created the WWI Memorial “Virtual Explorer” AR app. It introduces a next generation of young adults to the transformational impact WWI had on America. History-based lesson plans focus on topics including WWI’s social impact on women, Native Americans, African Americans and all Americans, as the United States stepped onto the world stage as a global power for the first time in history.
  • McGraw Hill: Building on the McGraw Hill AR app launched in June, the leading global education company will launch new AR geometry and pre-algebra readiness lesson plans for middle and high school students. These interactive experiences were designed to leverage relevant 3D models and activities to reach a variety of learner types.
  • NYC Media Lab: The winning museums, science centers and cultural institutions of the Museum Initiative will release a series of lesson plans designed to leverage existing 5G EdTech apps such as Aurelia, Visceral Science, 5G Covet, Unsung, CocoCast and GRX.

The new resources are in addition to seven professional development courses for educators, created in partnership with non-profit Digital Promise. These courses, aligned to micro-credentials, focus on serving diverse learners with technology integration and include The Art of Content Curation, Creating a Collaborative Classroom Culture and Gamifying Learning.

“We’ve seen first-hand through Verizon Innovative Learning how effectively integrated technology in education and providing students with next-gen tools can not only help close the digital skills gap, but also inspire them to explore educational and career paths that advance their economic mobility,” said Alex Servello, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Verizon. “We are excited to welcome new partnerships and expand on existing ones that democratize access to new immersive learning experiences and expose students to even more opportunities.”

The data center market in Australia has been witnessing significant growth in investments over the past few years. It is expected to grow at an absolute growth rate of around 20% between 2023-2029. Australia is among the top destinations for data center investments in the APAC region.
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth are the primary data center hubs hosting most data centers in the country. Canberra, Brisbane, Darwin, and other cities are among the emerging locations in Australia with abundant land availability for data center development.
Investment Opportunities
In November 2023, OVHcloud announced the launch of its upcoming SYD3 Sydney data center facility, which is expected to be operational in 2024.In November of 2023, Rest Super invested about $656 million in a data center in Brisbane, which Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners are developing.In November 2023, NEXTDC announced the development of the D1 data center facility in Darwin; the facility is expected to go operational by Q2 2024.AirTrunk announced the expansion of its SYD2 data center campus in Sydney; once fully built, the facility will account for an additional power capacity of around 30 MW, making it an aggregate capacity of around 120 MW. This second phase is expected to be completed in 2024. AirTrunk’s upcoming SYD3 Sydney facility calls for an aggregate investment of about $670 million.In an August 2023 news article, Macquarie Data Centres revealed its plan to expand its upcoming IC3 Super West facility in Sydney regarding power capacity. As per January 2024 news article, Macquarie Data Centres has received approval to build/grow the IC3 Super West, its third facility in Sydney.In August 2023, STACK Infrastructure announced the MEL01 A data center launch in Melbourne, located at 399 Palmers Road. The entire campus will have a power capacity of around 72 MW, divided equally between buildings A and B. As of early 2024, Building B is still a work in progress. Furthermore, the company plans new facilities in Canberra, Hume, and Perth.Rising Procurement of Renewable Energy in Australia Boosting the Market Opportunities
In 2022, according to IRENA, solar energy accounted for around 61% of Australia’s overall renewable energy capacity, followed by wind, hydro, and bioenergy (in decreasing order), from which renewable power is extracted for all the sustainable energy needs of the country. Australia aims to achieve its target of zero carbon emissions by 2050. The country announced plans to reach almost 43% less emission than in 2005.
According to the Australia National Electricity Market (NEM), the renewable energy share in the country is expected to reach around 41% by 2030. By 2025, Australia aims to achieve 100% instantaneous renewable energy for its main grid, starting with a half-hour period and gradually increasing to cover hours and days. This transition will be facilitated by an increase in wind, solar, and energy storage solutions to meet the country’s new target of 82% renewables by 2030. The retirement of coal-based power generation facilities in the coming years will contribute to this goal.

invoca-named-a-leader-in-real-time-revenue-execution-platforms-report

Report recognises Invoca’s innovative platform for delivering “game-changing AI capabilities to revenue teams.”
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invoca today announced that Forrester Research has named Invoca as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms, Q2 2024 report.

Invoca is the top-ranked vendor in both the current offering and strategy categories and among the top-ranked in market presence. Invoca also received the highest possible score in 19 of the 31 evaluation criteria, including AI differentiators, AI: large language model utilisation, Marketing: performance optimisation, In-call guidance: pre-call insights, System configuration: privacy, and Interaction capture: integrations.

The report states, “[Invoca’s] success starts with a vision focused on enabling revenue teams to drive growth by delivering the most complete platform for optimising the entire buying experience.

Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer Ramps Up as Market Size Revenues Expected to Exceed $36 Billion by 2036

Published

fight-against-pancreatic-cancer-ramps-up-as-market-size-revenues-expected-to-exceed-$36-billion-by-2036

FN Media Group News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing globally, which is driving the growth of the market. As of 2023, the American Cancer Society predicts that 64,050 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is estimated that 50,550 people will die from pancreatic cancer (26,620 men and 23,930 women). Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive form of cancer, and it is often not detected until it is in an advanced stage. Additionally, the treatment options for pancreatic cancer are limited, and the survival rate is low. These factors are contributing to the rise in pancreatic cancer cases, which in turn is driving the growth of the pancreatic cancer market.  A recent report from Research Nester projected that the global pancreatic cancer market size is slated to expand at ~18% CAGR between 2024 and 2036. The market is poised to garner a revenue of USD 36 billion by the end of 2036, up from a revenue of ~USD 6 billion in the year 2023. The report said: “Advancements in diagnosis and treatment options for pancreatic cancer are also driving the growth of the market. As researchers gain a better understanding of the different types of pancreatic cancer, they are developing more targeted treatments that are more likely to be effective with fewer side effects. Additionally, new treatment options, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapies, are improving patient outcomes and extending survival rates.”  Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB), Notable Labs, Ltd. (NASDAQ: NTBL), Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDF), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

Research Nester concluded: “The pancreatic cancer market in North America is garner the largest revenue by the end of 2036 due to several demographic changes, including an aging population and increased incidence of obesity and diabetes. In the US, there are 37.3 million diabetics (11.3[R3] % of the population); 28.7 million are diagnosed with diabetes, including 28.5 million adults. As the population ages, there will be a higher prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, which are risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the aging population will lead to an increase in the number of people with pre-existing conditions that can increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Obesity and diabetes are known risk factors for pancreatic cancer, and as these conditions become more prevalent, the number of cases of pancreatic cancer is expected to increase.”
Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) Receives Regulatory Clearance to Evaluate Pelareorep in Combination with Modified FOLFIRINOX +/- an anti-PD-L1 Inhibitor in Pancreatic Cancer 
US$5 million PanCAN grant provides important support for the fifth cohort of the GOBLET study  Study of modified OLFIRINOX/pelareorep/atezolizumab (Tecentriq ®) combination expands existing pancreatic cancer program  First patient expected to be enrolled in Q2 2024 Oncolytics Biotech ® Inc., a leading clinical-stage company specializing in immunotherapy for oncology, will commence enrollment into a new GOBLET study pancreatic cancer cohort following both German regulatory and ethics approvals. This cohort will evaluate pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without the PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab (Tecentriq ® ) in newly diagnosed patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). It is supported by a US$5M Therapeutic Accelerator Award from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), an innovative program established to accelerate the development of new treatments for pancreatic cancer. The chemotherapy regimens of mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel are the two most common standards of care for pancreatic cancer.  Oncolytics has already reported data with the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel ( link to the PR , link to the poster ) that surpassed historical outcomes. Positive results from a combination with mFOLFIRINOX could greatly enhance pelareorep’s potential in addressing pancreatic cancer.
“Oncolytics is pleased to announce receipt of regulatory clearance to initiate the mFOLFIRINOX cohort in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic PDAC. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with PanCAN, Roche, and AIO on this cohort, which is expected to initiate enrollment in the second quarter,” said Dr. Matt Coffey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. “We believe that working with PanCAN will help to further enrich Oncolytics’ clinical relationships with the pancreatic cancer community. We are also grateful for PanCAN’s Therapeutic Accelerator Award, which is enabling the evaluation of this combination therapy.”
“The Therapeutic Accelerator Award program has been an important part of PanCAN’s approach to advancing innovative treatments for pancreatic cancer. We incorporated input from leading scientists and clinicians in the field of pancreatic cancer to select Oncolytics as a recipient of this award,” said Anna Berkenblit , MD, MMSc, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at PanCAN. “Increasing patient access to clinical trials is vital to developing improved treatment options, so we are pleased that Oncolytics has received regulatory clearance for the pelareorep/mFOLFIRINOX combination and is poised to enroll the first patient in this cohort. We hope that the results from this study lead to improved outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer.”
Dirk Arnold , M.D., Ph.D., Director of Asklepios Tumorzentrum Hamburg and primary investigator of the GOBLET trial, commented, “Oncolytics has taken a very strategic approach to the development of pelareorep in pancreatic cancer by focusing its clinical studies on combinations with the most widely used treatment regimens. My experience to date with the GOBLET study, including the positive metastatic PDAC and encouraging anal cancer data reported last year, makes me enthusiastic to initiate enrollment in the mFOLFIRINOX cohort.”
“We previously reported very encouraging results in pancreatic cancer patients for the combination of pelareorep, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, and atezolizumab, and we plan to begin a registration-enabling study of this regimen later this year. The new pelareorep/mFOLFIRINOX cohort offers the opportunity to expand pelareorep’s role in pancreatic cancer. If the mFOLFIRINOX combination shows a compelling efficacy signal, this therapeutic approach could also be advanced to a registration-enabling study, providing two opportunities for pelareorep-based treatment to benefit pancreatic cancer patients,” said Thomas Heineman , M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Oncolytics. “In addition, translational research studies planned for this cohort will help to further elucidate pelareorep’s mechanism of action, including its ability to shape the tumor microenvironment (TME). Notably, we will evaluate the correlation between tumor responses and the expansion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the blood, an effect that was observed in earlier pancreatic cancer studies. We look forward to initiating enrollment into the mFOLFIRINOX/pelareorep study cohort in the second quarter of this year.” CONTINUED… Read these full press releases and more news for ONCY at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-oncy/  
Other recent developments in the biotech industry of note for cancer events include:
Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB) recently announced financial results for the first quarter of 2024, along with recent product highlights and corporate updates. “Our first quarter results demonstrate strong commercial execution and pipeline progress across our potential first- and best-in-class product portfolio,” said Dr. Samantha Du, Founder, Chairperson, and Chief Executive Officer of Zai Lab. “The launch of VYVGART is off to an impressive start with $13.2 million of sales in the first quarter. Looking ahead, we expect to accelerate commercial performance for the remainder of the year and are preparing for three new potential launches in 2024. We are also excited by the progress of our late-stage pipeline and we are on track to achieve the objectives outlined in our five-year strategic plan, including significant revenue growth and profitability by the end of 2025.”
“Our net revenues grew 39% y-o-y or 43% y-o-y at CER in the first quarter, driven by strong execution with the launch of VYVGART and uptake of our existing portfolio,” said Josh Smiley, President and Chief Operating Officer of Zai Lab. “With VYVGART’s launch in gMG at the end of last year, and multiple new products and indications expected to launch over the near-term, we are now entering a period of robust growth for Zai Lab. Our significant growth, coupled with our focus on driving efficiencies and productivity across the organization, will drive the evolution of Zai Lab into a profitable, high growth business by the end of 2025. Furthermore, we will continue to focus on expanding our global portfolio through our internal discovery activities and strategic business development,” Mr. Smiley concluded.
Notable Labs, Ltd. (NASDAQ: NTBL), a clinical-stage precision oncology company developing new cancer therapies identified by its Predictive Precision Medicine Platform (PPMP), recently reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 and provided a business update.
“The last year has been a time of great accomplishment for Notable. We built a strong clinical validation dataset, starting with a poster presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2023); became a publicly listed company, following the closing of a reverse merger in October 2023; and reported successful PPMP clinical data from the Phase 2 fosciclopirox study that showcased the ability of our platform to accurately predict patient outcomes for specific therapeutics,” said Thomas Bock, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Notable. “The performance of our platform in accurately predicting the outcome of the fosciclopirox study has enabled us to enhance the clinical trial plan for our lead product candidate, volasertib, in development for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML). In our upcoming Phase 2 trial, we will be utilizing the platform to enrich the study’s enrollment with patients predicted to respond to volasertib, which we believe will result in more rapid enrollment, shorter time to efficacy data and, ultimately, increased probability of success.”
Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging PLK1 inhibition to develop novel therapies across a range of cancers, recently announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and provided a business update.
“During the start of 2024, we presented several important new data sets supporting our first-line RAS-mutated mCRC strategy and the broader opportunity for onvansertib,” said Mark Erlander, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Cardiff Oncology. “The data from the ONSEMBLE trial replicated, in a second independent and randomized dataset, the bev naïve signal from our earlier Phase 1b/2 KRAS-mutated mCRC trial. And the Phase 1b data published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Cancer Research, and the additional data we presented in one of our five posters at AACR, further substantiated our lead program in RAS-mutated mCRC. The additional AACR posters also point toward new indications for onvansertib in RAS wild-type mCRC, small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer. Looking ahead, we believe that our upcoming data readout from our first-line trial in RAS-mutated mCRC has the potential to serve as a key value inflection point for our company and revolutionize the treatment of RAS-mutated mCRC, an area with no new treatments approved in over two decades.”
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, and are refractory to lenalidomide. With this approval, CARVYKTI® becomes the first and only B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted therapy approved for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma as early as first relapse.
FDA approval is based on positive results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study, which demonstrated that the earlier use of CARVYKTI® reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 59 percent compared to standard therapies—pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) or daratumumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (DPd)—in adults with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who received one to three prior lines of therapy. The study, which was presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, also included and reported key secondary results such as overall response (OR) and overall survival (OS).
