(Nasdaq:CUR), please note the headline should be, "Neuralstem Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of NSI-566 in Ischemic Stroke," rather than, "Neuralstem Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of NSI-189 in Ischemic Stroke," as originally issued. The corrected release follows:

 

Neuralstem Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of NSI-566 in Ischemic Stroke

 

Neuralstem, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUR), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of nervous system therapies based on its neural stem cell technology, today announced the initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating NSI-566, the Company’s lead neural stem cell candidate, as a potential treatment for ischemic stroke.

 

Neuralstem announced the positive topline results of Phase 1 stroke study in the 2018 ISSCR (International Society for Stem Cell Research) abstract on June 23, 2018.

 

“The Phase 2 study, which will be a randomized, double-blind, controlled study, is based on the encouraging results from the open-label Phase 1 safety study.  It is intended to further test the safety and efficacy of NSI-566 to reverse paralysis in stroke patients with half of their body partially paralyzed,” said Dr. Karl Johe, Chief Scientific Officer of Neuralstem.

 

The trial will be taking place at Bayi Brain Hospital in Beijing, China, commencing on August 1, 2018.  Managing the trial will be James Li, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Asia Operations of Suzhou Neuralstem Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Neuralstem, Inc., located in Suzhou, China.  Dr. Li has been made the Manager and a Registered Agent of Suzhou Neuralstem.

Toshiba delivers power MOSFETs for automotive applications

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (Toshiba) will start mass production and shipments of 'TPWR7904PB' and 'TPW1R104PB' -- 40V N-channel power MOSFETs for automotive applications in August.

The products are housed in the DSOP Advance(WF) packages that deliver double-sided cooling for improved heat dissipation, low resistance and small size, a statement said.

It also secure high heat dissipation and low On-resistance characteristics by mounting a U-MOS IX-H series chip -- a MOSFET with the latest trench structure -- into a DSOP Advance(WF) package that has a wettable flank terminal structure.

The U-MOS IX-H series also delivers lower switching noise than Toshiba´s previous U-MOS IV series, contributing to lower Electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The heat generated by conduction loss is effectively dissipated, improving the flexibility of thermal design. The products are used in the application of electric power steering, load switches and electric pumps.

Toshiba is among the leading general devices companies offering customers and business partners outstanding solutions in discrete semiconductors, system LSIs and HDD. More information at https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/ap-en/company.html.
