NEURALSTEM PRESENTS POSITIVE UPDATED DATA FROM PHASE 2 STUDY OF NSI-189 IN MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER AT THE 56TH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY (ACNP) ANNUAL MEETING
GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuralstem, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUR), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for nervous system diseases, today announced that additional safety, efficacy and tolerability data from its exploratory Phase 2 clinical trial examining the efficacy of NSI-189 at 40 mg once daily (QD) and 40 mg twice daily (BID) compared to placebo for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) were presented at the 56th American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) Annual Meeting in a poster entitled, "A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of NSI-189 Phosphate, a Neurogenic Compound, Among Out-Patients with Major Depressive Disorder." These additional results suggest that NSI-189 has antidepressant effects with cognitive benefits shown on both objective and subjective measures.
"NSI-189 appears to be a broad-acting antidepressant, with effects in both core symptoms of depression and in aspects of cognition where standard antidepressants typically show very modest effects. These results warrant the continued study of this compound among MDD patients who are inadequately managed by current antidepressant therapies," said Maurizio Fava, MD, Director of the Division of Clinical Research of the MGH Research Institute and Executive Vice Chair, Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the principal investigator of the trial.

SPEEDX PTY. LTD. ESTABLISHES US-BASED OPERATION
Subsidiary prepares for expected 2018 US product launch
SYDNEY, Australia, Dec 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SpeeDx Pty. Ltd, a developer of advanced multiplex molecular diagnostic solutions, announced the incorporation of a US-based subsidiary company, SpeeDx Inc. The parent company, headquartered in Australia, will use the US base to support current clinical trial activity for ResistancePlus™ MG (not currently for sale in the US), in preparation for an expected 2018 launch. The SpeeDx ResistancePlus™ MG test detects the sexually transmitted bacteria Mycoplasma genitalium along with mutations that confer resistance to azithromycin, the front-line antibiotic treatment of choice.
ResistancePlus™ MG will potentially be a first-to-market molecular diagnostic test in the US, providing both detection of the MG infection along with information about antibiotic resistance of the disease. The test previously received regulatory clearances in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and is already experiencing strong sales in those locations. SpeeDx recently signed a partnership agreement with Thermo-Fisher to help bring the ResistancePlus™ MG test to the US and a distribution agreement with Cepheid in Europe for their PlexPCR™ and ResistancePlus™ tests.

CLOUDSTREET TO UNVEIL "THE NETWORK SLICED MALL", CONNECTING RETAIL BRANDS WITH SHOPPERS ON-THE-GO AND A FLAWLESS MOBILE QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE AT THE TM FORUM LIVE! ASIA
Working with Catalyst Project sponsors, Orange and NTT in conjunction with innovators Cerillion, Nokia and Sigma, Cloudstreet will demonstrate its Network Slicing platform as part of an end-to-end solution for delivering sponsored mobile data and the connected mall of the future
Helsinki, Finland, Singapore, Dec 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudstreet, the Network Slicing Company, a Nokia incubated spin-off, and a clutch of partner innovators including Orange, NTT, Nokia, Sigma and Cerillion, are pleased to unveil a telecom technology first – delivering sponsored data and seamless mobile Quality-of-Experience (QoE) for shoppers on-the-go. To be showcased at TM Forum Live! Asia as a part of the Catalyst Project’s “Interconnecting Business with Sponsored Data”, the solution creates a true end-to-end (E2E) solution, allowing large retail locations to close the loop between shoppers, brands and a flawless mobile user experience. Allowing multiple carrier networks to be “sliced”, and served to buyers following a B2B2X model, malls can, for the first time, connect shoppers with the brands they love via sponsored mobile data and a comprehensive, carrier-aware billing platform.
Launched at this year’s TM Forum Asia! In Singapore December 5th–7th, the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) provides a business model blueprint for a novel approach to supporting the mobile customer experience, powered by a network and "Application-Aware" exchange that allows all parties in the value chain to play.
“Malls are a great test case for this initiative,” said Mika Skarp, CTO & Founder of Cloudstreet. “They generally have excellent cellular coverage that is designed to serve a large number of visitors. And because cellular basestations have a robust fiber backhaul, connection speeds are significantly faster and come at a much-reduced cost compared to a typical backhaul used in mall WiFi networks. Built around the concept of B2B2X enabled by Vertical Network Slicing, this becomes a perfect use case for high-value, sponsored data services precisely at the point of sale. Most importantly, however, the service would be like no WiFi user experience we’ve seen, requiring zero user intervention and dramatically improved performance. As such we’re looking at a true win-win-win scenario.”
Developed in concert with the Catalyst Project and its partners as an exchange, the solution provides a single interface for all mall applications to request mall-based slices. Allowing users to be connected to the cellular network of their choice, the “sliced mall” network concept provides the ability of physical retail space owners to buy and sell capacity on a 4G LTE network in a similar way to WiFi network connectivity, but at a much lower cost. From an economic perspective, buying capacity from a single source involving multiple carriers makes it much easier for the mall to deploy and manage a service that is just as free as WiFi, but with a vastly better user experience.

AMOBEE LAUNCHES ADVANCED BRAND SAFETY TECHNOLOGY AND INVENTORY REFUND PROGRAM
| OpenX, Telaria and Index Exchange Join a Rapidly Growing List of Partners in Amobee Inventory Accountability Program SINGAPORE & REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec 5 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Amobee, a global digital marketing technology company serving brands and agencies, today announced the launch of the Amobee Inventory Accountability Program, its comprehensive brand safety offering that ensures marketers have access to a safe, transparent buying ecosystem with the highest quality inventory to more effectively reach target consumers. Amobee’s brand safety and fraud prevention solution leverages an early detection system using advanced technology and partnership integrations to prevent fraud from reaching the Amobee platform and ensures Amobee DSP customers have access to the highest quality programmatic inventory. In addition, Amobee is among the first DSPs to block fraudulent mobile apps as part of the platform-wide offering.

To further protect clients, Amobee is offering a refund program in the event fraud—invalid traffic, bot fraud and / or site fraud—does occur. Following the determination by an MRC-accredited vendor that fraud has occurred, Amobee will refund its tech fees for affected campaigns as well as any media fees Amobee recoups from its supply partners for fraudulent impressions on the affected campaigns. “Brand safety and ensuring fraud prevention are two of the biggest challenges facing marketers today,” says Katie Ford, Amobee’s Chief Client Officer. “This long-term, advanced brand safety initiative ensures Amobee is able to align brand and agency clients with the highest quality inventory to support campaign objectives by delivering ads that are in view and seen by a real audience in a brand safe environment. Our industry-leading technology and partnership with DoubleVerify helps eliminate fraud before it reaches our platform and equips clients with pre-bid brand safety, contextual targeting and protection in the fight against fraud.” http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30705. |
