Faron Pharmaceuticals' new CEO Dr Juho Jalkanen sets bold vision for 2024

Faron Pharmaceuticals Oy

Faron Pharmaceuticals Limited (AIM:FARN) new CEO Dr Juho Jalkanen joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with his vision for the company. The founding member and former chief operating officer of Faron said one of his priorities is to meet with the US Food & Drug Administration earlier than planned in the hope of fast-tracking its lead drug, bexmarilimab, which has shown huge promise in treating a type of rare blood cancer. The move follows promising data from the phase I trials involving patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who were unresponsive to a class of drugs called hypomethylating agents (HMAs). Jalkanen highlighted the company's ongoing phase 2 trial targeting relapsed refractory MDS, emphasising the strategic goal of securing non-dilutive funding and considering future mergers and acquisitions as the drug shows promise. Jalkanen also discussed the potential of the lead drug candidate in treating specific macrophage-driven cancers, indicating an optimistic outlook for the near term, including significant milestones expected in 2024. These milestones include more phase 2 data, expected by late May, and subsequent FDA feedback, pivotal for future planning. The CEO expressed confidence in the company's position and its appeal to investors, especially given the biotech sector's recovery from a period he referred to as a "nuclear winter."

PainReform Ltd

PainReform CEO Ilan Hadar joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company at the forefront of addressing the opioid crisis in the United States, is developing PRF-110, an innovative post-operative pain treatment designed as an alternative to traditional opioids. PRF-110 is applied directly by surgeons during procedures, offering patients up to 72 hours of continuous pain relief, potentially eliminating the need for additional pain medications post-surgery. The company is currently advancing a Phase III study in Texas to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PRF-110. The study, which began in October 2023, has already seen significant progress with more than 50% of the target 400 patients enrolled. Completion of patient enrollment is expected by mid-year, and the study results are anticipated in the third quarter of the same year. A successful outcome from this study could pave the way for another Phase III trial focusing on soft tissue applications, slated to start in early 2025, with results expected by 2026. Should the upcoming trials confirm PRF-110’s efficacy and safety, PainReform plans to submit a New Drug Application in 2026. The company recognizes the significant market potential for non-opioid post-operative pain treatments, an area currently underexplored, and is positioning PRF-110 as a key player in transforming pain management practices post-surgery.

Shedding Light on Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month

YourUpdateTV

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, and genetic disease that currently affects about 40,000 people in the United States. CF is the result of a defective gene, inherited from each parent, and the disease can impact people of all races and ethnicities. Recently, KC White, Board Chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the disease, her personal journey, and how the Foundation is helping progress care and treatment options. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8wj8u0JEqLU CF is a life-shortening disease that prevents our bodies from clearing mucus. This can lead to lung infections, poor nutrition, lung disease, and a host of unique challenges that can impact every aspect of a person’s life. When it was first discovered, it was considered a fatal pediatric disease. But due to transformative advancements in treatments and high-quality care, the life-expectancy for someone born with CF today is 56. While that number is climbing there is still a long way to go and unfortunately, not all people with CF equally benefit from this progress. KC White was elected chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2022 after serving on the Board since 2005. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, White has been a committed volunteer and inspiring advocate for the Foundation since childhood and is the first person with CF to serve as board chair. When she was diagnosed, she wasn’t expected to live past high school age, but her family refused to accept that fate, which prompted their dedication to the Foundation’s work. Because of recent treatments known as modulators, about 90% of the CF population (including KC) experienced an incredible transformation in their health. With this though, comes navigating unplanned challenges including careers, finances, family, and more. In addition to fueling the research, particularly in genetic therapies, that will lead to transformative treatments for the entire CF population, the CF Foundation works to support the CF community in all aspects of their lives through support programs and fostering connection opportunities. Every May, the cystic fibrosis community comes together for CF Awareness Month to educate the public about the rare disease, share personal stories, and encourage people to get involved and unite behind a shared mission: finding a cure for all people with CF. The CF Foundation is committed to finding a cure and providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives. The Foundation is aggressively funding research and drug development, advancing high-quality, specialized care, and partnering with and advocating for the CF community. For more information, visit CFF.ORG/CFMONTH About KC White KC White was elected chair of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2022 after serving on the Board since 2005. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 3, White has been a committed volunteer and inspiring advocate for the Foundation since childhood, speaking at her first Foundation event when she was only 9 years old. She is the first person with CF to serve as board chair. White received her Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022 and currently serves as an assistant instructor in the program. She is also the Head Varsity Women’s Lacrosse coach for the Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Tigers. She and her husband, Justin, have one son, Mac. About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a donor-supported nonprofit organization leading the relentless pursuit of a cure for cystic fibrosis. The Foundation is committed to providing all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, advancing high-quality, specialized care, and partnering with and advocating for the CF community. The Foundation funds more CF research than any other organization, and nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. The organization supports and accredits a national network of over 130 CF care centers recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a model of care for a chronic disease. Also, the Foundation manages support programs and fosters connection opportunities for the CF community. Based in Bethesda, Md., the Foundation’s impact is made possible by the work of nearly 70 local chapters across the country. Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

American Aires Inc. Executing a Strategy To Increase Exposure And Drive Sales

AAIRF, EDR, FOX, RUM

In our modern, technologically driven world, the proliferation of electronic devices emitting electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has raised significant concerns. While these EMFs have undoubtedly improved our lives in terms of convenience and connectivity, they also pose unintended health consequences. Scientific studies have shown that EMF radiation exposure can lead to brain inflammation, tissue damage, and the development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions. This correlation between brain electrical activity and cognitive function underscores the potential risks of prolonged EMF exposure. Pioneering Protection Canadian-based nanotechnology company American Aires Inc. (CSE: WIFI) (OTC: AAIRF) has emerged as a pioneer in addressing the harmful effects of EMF radiation. With over 20 years of dedication and at least $20 million invested in research and development, American Aires has developed cutting-edge solutions to mitigate EMF exposure and optimize human health. The cornerstone of American Aires' technology is its proprietary silicon-based resonator, designed to protect against EMF radiation. Unlike traditional methods that aim to block or absorb radiation, American Aires' technology actively modulates EMFs, creating a protective barrier around electronic devices. These sleek and stylish devices provide personal and area protection without the need for a power source, targeting EMR emitted by various consumer electronic devices, including cellphones, computers, baby monitors, and Wi-Fi, including high-speed 5G networks. Scientific Validation The effectiveness of American Aires' microchip in reducing the harmful effects of EMF radiation has been reaffirmed by the scientific community. A recently published study in the Link Journal confirmed the chip's stabilizing capabilities, supported by eight peer-reviewed studies and 25 clinical and scientific reports, validating the technology. This scientific validation underscores the credibility and reliability of American Aires' solutions in the EMF protection space. Recent Exposure American Aires Inc. (OTC: AAIRF) (CSE: WIFI) American Aires has effectively prioritized public education and brand exposure, recognizing the pivotal role they play in expanding its market presence. CEO Josh Bruni's recent appearance on the Fox News Buiness Channel national TV series "Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew" on May 5, 2024, signifies a significant milestone for the company. This appearance provided a substantial platform for American Aires to showcase its innovative solutions to a vast audience. Broadcasting on a reputable network like Fox News (NASDAQ: FOX), which reaches hundreds of millions of households across the nation, underscores the magnitude of this opportunity. By featuring on such a prominent platform, AAIRF aimed to not only educate viewers about the importance of safeguarding against electromagnetic radiation but also to significantly raise awareness about the company and its mission. CEO Josh Bruni's presence on the program further solidified the company's commitment to transparency, education, and promoting awareness of its groundbreaking technology. To watch the segment and learn more about American Aires' innovative solutions, click here. Additionally, AAIRF has expanded its reach through a series of impactful partnerships and alliances.

This partnership promises to spotlight the manifold benefits of Aires' wellness and performance optimization solutions, leveraging WME's extensive network of top-tier artists, athletes, and content creators. The company's #airesathletes campaign further demonstrates its commitment to widening and deepening relationships with top athletes and celebrities. Partnering with renowned figures like Tiki Barber, the former NFL running back, American Aires showcases how its technology benefits athletes and consumers alike, promoting optimal performance and rapid recovery. Continuing its trajectory of strategic exposure, AAIRF announced a pivotal collaboration with Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ: RUM), a leading social video platform with a global reach. This partnership builds upon the company's ongoing efforts to amplify its brand presence and reach a wider audience. The groundwork for the Rumble partnership began over the past year, with AAIRF and RUM working together to test the traffic and conversion performance of the video platform. This collaboration paved the way for American Aires to officially launch a pilot test consisting of a paid ad campaign on Rumble. As part of this campaign, one of Rumble's most popular influencers, English comedian, actor, and influencer Russell Brand, with 1.87 million followers on the platform, will read one Aires ad per week over multiple episodes of his show on Rumble. Additionally, Rumble will display pre-roll "run of network" ad placements before or after Brand's shows air during the campaign. Commenting on the significance of this collaboration, American Aires CEO Josh Bruni stated, "It's very significant that this test campaign features Russell Brand. He not only aligns well with the Aires brand but also has a growing global audience through Rumble and across other media platforms that can reach potential Aires customers around the world." Financial Performance American Aires Inc. (OTC: AAIRF) has experienced robust revenue growth, doubling its revenue consistently over the past two years. In the first nine months of 2022 alone, the company generated $5.5 million in revenue, representing a 63% year-over-year increase. With extrapolated growth, American Aires could potentially achieve $10 million in sales in 2023. Moreover, AAIRF boasts superior profit margins, with gross margins averaging about 60%, rivaling top technology companies like Nvidia and Apple. The company reached a significant milestone by achieving positive adjusted EBITDA in its most recent quarter, highlighting its financial strength and growth potential. Furthermore, American Aires continues to demonstrate its industry leadership with recent announcements.

(OTC: AAIRF) (CSE: WIFI) stands at the forefront of the EMF protection and human optimization industries, offering innovative solutions to address the growing concerns surrounding electromagnetic radiation.
