Invisalign Midtown East NY Clear Aligner Therapy For Teeth Straightening Updated




Invisalign Midtown East NY Clear Aligner Therapy For Teeth Straightening Updated

Modern Dental of Manhattan (+1-212-758-1000) announced that its custom Invisalign clear aligner treatment is now available to patients dealing with a range of orthodontic conditions in Midtown east, Tudor City, Diamond district, Murray hill, and other surrounding neighborhoods in Manhattan, New York.

New York, United States, June 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Midtown East, New York-based Modern Dental of Manhattan has updated its range of cosmetic dentistry services to offer Invisalign clear aligner therapy for patients who want to enhance the aesthetics of their smile.

They are conveniently located near Diamond District, Lenox Hill, Murray Hill, NY postcodes 10017, 10174, 10167, 10022 and 10175. More details are available at https://manhattandentists.com/invisalign-clear-aligners-midtown-east/

The updated service includes the treatment of various orthodontic conditions such as irregularly shaped teeth, crossbite, overbite, under-bite, and others with clear, removable aligners.

Invisalign treatment, as the dental care experts explained, involves using sets of removable braces to enhance a patient’s smile gradually. The aligners are made from SmartTrack, a patented thermoplastic material.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign is clear, thin, and invisible. Patients can remove the clear aligners at will; however, for the best results, the experts at Modern Dental of Manhattan recommend wearing the clear braces for up to 22 hours a day.

The team at Modern Dental of Manhattan works closely with each patient to create a custom treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. An Invisalign-trained dentist will assess the patient’s smile during the initial consultation and use a digital imaging technique to map a detailed plan to transform the patient’s smile.

Each set of aligners applies gentle, constant pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into place until the desired smile is achieved. Patients may be required to change to a new set every one to two weeks. It can 6-12 months to complete the treatment, though this depends mainly on the complexity of the patient’s case.

The Midtown East New York dental office is staffed by a team of multi-disciplinary, board-certified clinicians with decades of private practice experience and expertise to handle all patients’ cosmetic dentistry needs.

Patients can expect the highest level of service when they visit their dental office. The team strives to deliver quality dental care in a technologically advanced, clean, modern, and caring environment.

A company spokesperson said: “Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten. They are thin, clear, and fit snugly over the teeth, making them virtually invisible. Above all, these clear aligners can help shift your teeth into place, giving you a beautiful smile you can be proud of.”

Interested parties can call +1-212-758-1000 to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation or visit https://manhattandentists.com to learn more.

Biophytis announces new convertible bond financing for up to €32 million with Atlas and drawing of 2 tranches under the 2020 Atlas Contract for €6 million

PARIS and Cambridge, Mass., June 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biophytis SA (Nasdaq CM: BPTS, Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS), (“Biophytis” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics aimed at slowing the degenerative processes associated with aging and improving functional outcomes for patients suffering from age-related diseases, including severe respiratory failure in patients suffering from COVID-19, today announces a new line of financing through Bonds Redeemable in Cash and New and Existing Shares (ORNANE) with Atlas, a specialized investment fund based in New York (United States), for €32 million (the “2021 Atlas Contract”). This line of financing will be used for further clinical development of Sarconeos (BIO101) in sarcopenia following our SARA phase 2 results and for the next development steps of the product in COVID-19 following our COVA phase 2-3 results, as well as the financing of the Company’s activities going forward.

The Company also announces the issuance of 240 ORNANE Bonds, for a total amount of €6 million under its existing convertible bond agreement with Atlas (the “2020 Atlas Contract”).

Stanislas Veillet, President and CEO of Biophytis, said: “We are pleased to conclude this new ORNANE contract with Atlas that allows us to secure the Company’s financing going forward. In the meantime, we have just drawn two tranches of convertible under the existing agreement with Atlas for a total of €6 million, that will enable Biophytis to i) source starting materials required for the coming production of registration and commercial batches – provided positive results from COVA, ii) to scale up manufacturing and industrialization activities and to iii) start the Expanded Access COVA Program. These activities are directly linked to the potential filing for Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. and Conditional Marketing Authorisation in the EU later in 2021.”

a)  2021 Atlas Contract

The new financing instrument allows the issuance of 1280 bonds with an option for exchange in cash and/or conversion into new or existing shares (ORNANE). Subject to the issue of the eighth and last tranche under the 2020 Atlas Contract, the €32 million total financing can be drawn by Biophytis over the next three years, without obligation, through 8 successive tranches of €4 million each. This facility will secure the Company cash position, in order to continue the development of its clinical activities in particular further development of Sarconeos (BIO101). The risks inherent in this financing scheme are described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual 2020 Report available on BIOPHYTIS website (www.biophytis.com) and in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Legal framework
The issued securities will give Atlas access immediately or in the future to the Company’s share capital with cancelation of the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights to the benefit of a category of persons pursuant to Article L. 225-129 et seq. of the French Commercial Code.

Pursuant to the delegation granted by the General Meeting of Shareholders of 10 May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the conclusion of the 2021 Atlas Contract during its meeting on June 8, 2021. The 2021 Atlas Contract was concluded on 14 June 2021.

This offer of financial securities did not result in a prospectus subject to AMF approval.

The Company will keep the shareholders informed of the exercise of the ORNANE and the subsequent conversions, through a summary table of the ORNANE, and the number of shares in circulation, all of which will be available on the Company website.

Main characteristics of the ORNANE
The ORNANE will have a par value of €25 000 euros. They will not bear interest and will have a 24-month maturity from issuance. The holder of ORNANE may request at any time to convert them during their maturity period, and the Company shall have the right to redeem the ORNANE in cash. In case of cash redemption, the amount reimbursed will be limited to 110% of the principal.

At the end of the maturity period, and in the case where the ORNANE would not have been redeemed either in cash or in new or existing shares, the holder will have the obligation to convert the ORNANE.

The holder can ask to convert the ORNANE at any time at the conversion parity determined by the following formula: N = Vn / (R x P), where

• “N” is the number of shares yielded by the conversion,
• “Vn” is the par value of the ORNANEs, i.e., €25,000 each,
• “R” is the conversion ratio, i.e., 1.00,
• “P” is the conversion price, i.e., the Pricing Period VWAP during the Pricing Period of 10 trading days preceding the reception of the Conversion Notice

On the day of the conversion request, the Company may redeem the ORNANE in cash using the following formula: V = (Vn/P) * Pr, where

• “V” is the amount to be redeemed to the holder.
• “Pr” is the revised price.

The revised price is the lowest price between (i) the volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days preceding the date on which conversion is requested and (ii) P*1.10

ORNANE may be transferred by their holders only to Affiliates and will not be subject to a request for trading admission on the Euronext Growth market.

Number of securities and dilution (assumptions)
Based on the 113 854 795 outstanding shares, and based on issuance and conversion of a €4 million tranche, and of all tranches on 14 June 2021 and a conversion price equal to €0,9376, the impact on a shareholder’s 1% stake in the Company’s capital prior to the operation would be:

b)  Drawing of 2 tranches of the 2020 Atlas Contract

On April 7, 2020, Biophytis announced a convertible line of €24 million from Atlas. The press release is available on the Company’s website (www.biophytis.com) in the section “2020 press releases”. The financing instrument allows the issuance of 960 ORNANE, at a par value of €25,000 each. The €24 million total financing can be drawn by Biophytis over the next 3 years, without obligation, through 8 successive tranches of €3 million each. The Company drew a first tranche of €3 million during April 2020, a second tranche of the same amount in July 2020, and a third tranche of €3 million in September 2020.
After the drawing of the 4^th and 5^th tranches for a total of €6 million, €9 million will remain from the current instrument.

Reminder of the main characteristics of the 2020 Atlas ORNANE contract issued
The ORNANE don’t bear interest and have a 24-month maturity from issuance. The holder of ORNANE may request at any time to convert them during their maturity period, and at that time, the Company will be able to redeem the ORNANE in cash. In case of cash redemption, the amount reimbursed will be limited to 115% of the principal.

Number of securities and dilution (assumptions)
As of June 14, based on 113, 854,795 outstanding shares, at the conversion on this day and a conversion price equal to 97% of the pricing period VWAP of €0.9094, dilution is reflected as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” The words, without limitation, “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these or similar identifying words. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: Tarsus has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and anticipates that it will continue to incur significant expenses and losses for the foreseeable future; Tarsus may need to obtain additional funding to complete the development and any commercialization of its product candidates, if approved; Tarsus is heavily dependent on the success of its lead product candidate, TP-03 for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis; the COVID-19 pandemic may affect Tarsus’ ability to initiate and complete preclinical studies and clinical trials, disrupt regulatory activities, disrupt manufacturing and supply chain or have other adverse effects on Tarsus’ business and operations; even if TP-03, TP-05, or any other product candidate that Tarsus develops receives marketing approval, Tarsus may not be successful in educating eye care physicians and the market about the need for treatments specifically for Demodex blepharitis, Lyme disease, and/or other diseases or conditions targeted by Tarsus’ products; the development and commercialization of Tarsus products is dependent on intellectual property it licenses from Elanco Tiergesundheit AG; Tarsus will need to develop and expand the company and Tarsus may encounter difficulties in managing its growth, which could disrupt its operations; the sizes of the market opportunity for Tarsus’ product candidates, particularly TP-03 for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis and MGD, as well as TP-05 for the treatment of Lyme disease, have not been established with precision and may be smaller than estimated; the results of Tarsus’ earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future results; any termination or suspension of, or delays in the commencement or completion of, Tarsus’ planned clinical trials could result in increased costs, delay or limit its ability to generate revenue and adversely affect its commercial prospects; and if Tarsus is unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for its product candidates, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection is not sufficiently broad, Tarsus’ competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to Tarsus’ products. Further, there are other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statement and they are detailed from time to time in the reports Tarsus files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Tarsus’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021, which Tarsus incorporates by reference into this press release, copies of which are posted on its website and are available from Tarsus without charge. However, new risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on the current expectations of Tarsus’ management team and speak only as of the date hereof, and Tarsus specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

TG Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Data from the ULTIMATE I & II Phase 3 Trials of Ublituximab in Multiple Sclerosis at 7th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology




TG Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Data from the ULTIMATE I & II Phase 3 Trials of Ublituximab in Multiple Sclerosis at 7th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology

NEW YORK, June 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TG Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TGTX), today announced the presentation of data from the ULTIMATE I & II global, active controlled, Phase 3 trials evaluating ublituximab, the Company’s investigational novel, glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, compared to teriflunomide, in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS), during the 7^th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN). This data was previously presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 73^rd Annual Meeting.

Oral Presentation Title: Ublituximab versus teriflunomide in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS): Results of the Phase 3 ULTIMATE I and II trials

The ULTIMATE I & II studies investigated the safety and efficacy of a one-hour 450mg infusion of ublituximab every six months, following the Day 1 infusion (150mg over four hours). The studies were conducted under Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, data from these studies are intended to support a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for ublituximab in RMS targeted in the third quarter of 2021.

Data highlights from the ULTIMATE I & II Phase 3 studies in patients with RMS include:

Primary Endpoint: Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) Results

• In ULTIMATE I, treatment with ublituximab resulted in an ARR of 0.076 compared to 0.188 for teriflunomide, representing a relative reduction of approximately 60% (p<0.0001).
• In ULTIMATE II, treatment with ublituximab resulted in an ARR of 0.091 compared to 0.178 for teriflunomide, representing a relative reduction of approximately 50% (p=0.0022).

MRI Results

• Total number of T1 Gadolinium (Gd) enhancing lesions were reduced as a result of ublituximab treatment by 97% and 96% relative to treatment with teriflunomide in ULTIMATE I & II, respectively (p<0.0001).
• New or enlarging T2 lesions were reduced as a result of ublituximab treatment by 92% and 90% relative to treatment with teriflunomide in ULTIMATE I & II, respectively (p<0.0001).

No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA) Results

• In ULTIMATE I, 44.6% of ublituximab treated patients achieved NEDA representing a 198% improvement over teriflunomide (p <0.0001).
• In ULTIMATE II, 43% of ublituximab treated patients achieved NEDA representing a 277% improvement over teriflunomide (p<0.0001).

Prespecified Pooled Disability Results

• A very low rate of disability progression was observed across all treatment groups.   Only 5.2% of ublituximab treated patients showed a 12-week Confirmed Disability Progression (CDP), compared to 5.9% with teriflunomide, and only 3.3% of ublituximab treated patients showeda 24-week CDP, compared to 4.8% with teriflunomide; neither was statistically different.
• Ublituximab treatment increased the proportion of patients with 12-week Confirmed Disability Improvement (CDI) and 24-week CDI, demonstrating a 116% increased chance in 12-week CDI (12% v. 6%; p=0.0003), and a 103% increased chance in 24-week CDI (9.6% v. 5.1%; p=0.0026) compared to teriflunomide.

Ublituximab was generally well tolerated with no unexpected safety signals. Overall, the proportion of patients in the ublituximab group with adverse events was similar to the teriflunomide group in a pooled analysis of both studies (approximately 88% in each treatment group); the most common adverse event associated with ublituximab was infusion related reactions (47.7% of patients who received ublituximab experienced at least one infusion-related reaction vs. 12.2 percent for the teriflunomide group).

ABOUT THE ULTIMATE I & II TRIALS
ULTIMATE I and ULTIMATE II are two independent Phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, active-controlled, global, multi-center studies evaluating the efficacy and safety/tolerability of ublituximab (450mg dose administered by one-hour intravenous infusion every 6 months, following a Day 1 infusion of 150mg over four hours and a Day 15 infusion of 450mg over one hour) versus teriflunomide (14mg oral tablets taken once daily) in subjects with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (RMS). The ULTIMATE I & II trials enrolled a total of 1,094 patients with RMS across 10 countries. These trials were led by Lawrence Steinman, MD, Zimmermann Professor of Neurology & Neurological Sciences, and Pediatrics at Stanford University and were conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both studies have met their primary endpoint with ublituximab treatment demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in annualized relapse rate (ARR) over a 96-week period (p<0.005 in each trial). Ublituximab treatment resulted in an ARR of <0.10 in each of ULTIMATE I & II, with a relative reduction in ARR of approximately 60% and 50%, respectively, over teriflunomide. Key secondary MRI endpoints have also been met. Data from these studies are intended to support a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for ublituximab in RMS targeted Q3 2021. Additional information on these clinical trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03277261; NCT03277248).

ABOUT UBLITUXIMAB
Ublituximab is an investigational glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a unique epitope on CD20-expressing B-cells. When ublituximab binds to the B-cell it triggers a series of immunological reactions, including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), leading to destruction of the cell. Additionally, ublituximab is uniquely designed, to lack certain sugar molecules normally expressed on the antibody. Removal of these sugar molecules, a process called glycoengineering, has been shown to enhance the potency of ublituximab, especially the ADCC activity. Targeting CD20 using monoclonal antibodies has proven to be an important therapeutic approach for the management of B-cell malignancies and autoimmune disorders, both diseases driven by the abnormal growth or function of B-cells.

ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and includes people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) who continue to experience relapses. RRMS is the most common form of multiple sclerosis (MS) and is characterized by episodes of new or worsening signs or symptoms (relapses) followed by periods of recovery. It is estimated that nearly 1 million people are living with MS in the United States and approximately 85% are initially diagnosed with RRMS.^1,2 The majority of people who are diagnosed with RRMS will eventually transition to SPMS, in which they experience steadily worsening disability over time. Worldwide, more than 2.3 million people have a diagnosis of MS.¹
