Chemomab Reports Positive Feedback From Two Recent FDA Meetings Supporting Phase 3 Advancement of Nebokitug in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

—Achieves FDA Alignment on CMC and Non-Clinical Toxicology Regulatory Path for Nebokitug in PSC—

—Preparations for the Nebokitug PSC Phase 3 Clinical Trial Advance as Discussions with Potential Strategic Partners Continue—

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd., (Nasdaq: CMMB), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need, today reported that it has obtained confirmation from the FDA on two significant development milestones as the company continues to finalize the nebokitug Phase 3 program.

As part of the FDA End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) review process, Chemomab and the FDA addressed multiple Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) topics critical to ensuring the quality and consistency of drug supply for the late-stage development and eventual commercialization of nebokitug. Following productive discussions, the FDA indicated agreement with the CMC strategy proposed by Chemomab and its contract manufacturing partner.

Chemomab also engaged in a Type C meeting with the FDA to address the non-clinical fetal and embryo developmental toxicology studies that are part of the new drug regulatory pathway. Importantly, the FDA agreed that this toxicology testing may be conducted in parallel with the nebokitug Phase 3 clinical trial and be submitted as part of the planned Biologics Licensing Application (BLA). This represents a favorable outcome for Chemomab, and the FDA’s flexibility supports the timely advancement of the program.

Adi Mor, PhD, co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Chemomab, commented, “Following up on our positive and constructive interactions with the FDA in December regarding the design of the proposed nebokitug PSC Phase 3 pivotal trial, we have further aligned on two additional significant milestones–CMC requirements needed for manufacturing of drug supply for the “to be marketed” formulation and the timing of non-clinical toxicology testing. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA as we finalize the details of the proposed Phase 3 development program and continue our discussions with potential strategic partners.”

About Nebokitug

Nebokitug (CM-101) is a first-in-class dual activity monoclonal antibody that neutralizes CCL24, a soluble protein that helps drive the inflammatory and fibrotic pathways central to primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and other fibro-inflammatory diseases. By inhibiting CCL24, nebokitug blocks immune cell recruitment and fibroblast activation, thereby interrupting the self-reinforcing cycle that results in fibrosis. In clinical and preclinical studies, nebokitug has been shown to have a favorable safety profile, with the potential to treat multiple severe and life-threatening fibro-inflammatory diseases. Chemomab has reported positive results from four clinical trials of nebokitug in patients, including the Phase 2 SPRING trial in patients with PSC. This study achieved the primary safety endpoint and nebokitug-treated patients with moderate/advanced disease showed improvements on a wide range of disease-related secondary endpoints. The results of the Open Label Extension portion of the SPRING trial, where PSC patients received nebokitug for up to a total of 48 weeks, confirmed and extended the initial Phase 2 results. Nebokitug has received FDA and EMA Orphan Drug designations for the treatment of PSC and systemic sclerosis and FDA Fast Track status for the treatment of PSC in adults.

Texas Holds Three of the Top Five Destination Cities for Consumer Migration

TransUnion analysis finds significant generational differences in migration trends, with implications for insurers

CHICAGO, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Americans who relocated in 2024 sought out new locales, with the three most popular locations in the state of Texas—North Houston, Fort Worth and Austin. Overall, consumers left pricier and densely populated urban areas in favor of more affordable cities and suburbs in the southern U.S., according to TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) research focused on migration and its implications for insurers.

While migration rates have decreased steadily since pre-pandemic 2019, a significant number of consumers are making bold moves. More than a quarter (26%) of Americans who moved in 2024 relocated by distances ranging from 51 miles to 250 miles and beyond.

“As consumers continue to find new places to settle, it’s important for insurers to stay on top of the trends across segments,” said Patrick Foy, senior director of strategic planning for TransUnion’s Insurance business. “These changes can have implications for customer acquisition, risk and engagement.”

Top Five Inbound and Outbound Markets in 2024

Inbound Outbound
North Houston, TX Miami, FL
Fort Worth, TX Houston, TX
Austin, TX Queens, NY
Phoenix, AZ South Florida, FL
Nashville, TN Oakland, CA




Gen Z goes against the grain



The research found migration trends among consumers aged 30 and older largely held true. The majority left locales like New York, Chicago and Miami, with some slight variations in where they ended up. Baby Boomers and Silent Generation consumers primarily moved to smaller locales in South Carolina and Florida. Gen Xers also moved to those states, but Texas was their top destination. Millennials seemed to avoid Florida, instead dispersing across suburban markets Texas and North Carolina.

However, many Gen Z consumers moved in the opposite direction, landing in the same cities older Americans were leaving, like New York and Chicago.

“Gen Z’s migration patterns more closely reflect those of Millennials back in 2010,” said Foy. “And they are likely going for the same reasons: the allure of big city living and the prospect of work opportunities to help launch their careers.”


Staying connected to life insurance beneficiaries


When consumers move across state lines, public records do not always update accordingly. This can create problems for life insurance providers who then may not be able to locate a beneficiary or receive notification of death for their policyholder.

The majority of states require life insurers to monitor mortality status of policy holders and to conduct due diligence to contact beneficiaries. However, over recent years the federal government has limited access to the Social Security Death Master File (SS DMF). Those records now account for only 12% of TransUnion’s deceased file data—compared to 2010 when they accounted for 95%. 

Additionally, nearly six out of 10 consumers don’t even know how to find out if they are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. This is underscored by the fact that each year tens of millions of dollars in life insurance payments go unmatched with beneficiaries.1

TransUnion’s TruLookup™ Deceased Data utilizes multiple sources, including TransUnion proprietary data, obituary data, funeral home listings, state level sources, and more. Insurers who rely solely on the SS DMF are at a significant disadvantage for uniting benefits to beneficiaries.

“Life insurance companies that rely on public records alone will likely fail to deliver on their promise to customers,” said Karen Malone, senior director of strategic planning for TransUnion’s life insurance business. “They need a robust identity solution to give them real time updates on the status of their insureds and the location of their beneficiaries.”


Understanding a driver’s risk


Similarly, when a consumer with prior traffic violations moves to a new state or receives a traffic violation outside of their license state, their motor vehicle report (MVR) does not always capture those events.

Prior TransUnion research found that violations increased by 8% in 2024 compared to 2023—their highest point since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The study highlighted the strong correlation between traffic enforcement and roadway safety, along with reaffirming the power of violation data to predict future insurance losses.

TransUnion research notes that auto insurers should look beyond MVRs and investigate court records when assessing the risk of a new customer as they are less expensive than MVRs and provide a more comprehensive history. In addition, traffic violations have reached their highest point since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting there are increasingly more insights into drivers’ behavior on the road.

With Meltwater’s social insights available directly within 8×8 Contact Center™, 8×8 customers can now utilize social media as a customer care and engagement channel. Social media is a critical channel for customer engagement, but many contact centers lack the necessary tools to monitor and analyze the vast volume of customer interactions happening online.

“Social media has become a vital channel for customer engagement, yet many contact centers still struggle to support it effectively,” said Victor Belfor, Global Vice President, Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at 8×8, Inc. “We chose to partner with Meltwater because we believe it’s one of the most powerful social listening platforms in the market. Together, we’re helping organizations stay connected with their customers by delivering best-in-class technology from a single, trusted provider.”

Mercurity Fintech Announces $800 Million Financing Plan for Bitcoin Treasury; Achieves Preliminary Inclusion in the U.S. Russell 2000 Index

New York, NY, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our company,” or “MFH”) (Nasdaq: MFH), a digital fintech group, today announced its plans to raise $800 million to establish a long-term Bitcoin treasury reserve. Through this fundraising effort, MFH aims to leverage its established expertise in blockchain-driven financial infrastructure to strategically acquire and manage Bitcoin assets. The Company also plans to integrate these holdings into its digital reserve framework through blockchain-native custody, staking integration, and tokenized treasury management services.

Additionally, through this fundraising effort, the Company intends to systematically build a Bitcoin reserve position and implement an integrated digital asset treasury framework. This will involve deploying institutional-grade custodial infrastructure, blockchain-native liquidity protocols, and staking-enabled capital efficiency tools. The objective is to transition a portion of the Company’s treasury into a yield-generating, blockchain-aligned reserve structure that reinforces long-duration asset exposure and balance sheet resilience.

“We’re building this Bitcoin treasury reserve based on our belief that Bitcoin will become an essential component of the future financial infrastructure,” said Shi Qiu, CEO of the Company. “We are positioning our company to be a key player in the evolving digital financial ecosystem.”

Concurrently, according to FTSE Russell’s preliminary 2025 annual reconstitution list, the Company is poised to be included in the broad-market Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Index, representing an upgrade from its prior classification within the Russell Microcap Index. The index reclassification and upgrade could broaden the Company’s exposure to institutional investors, including those managing index-linked and actively managed funds. Furthermore, the Company believes that such inclusion signals to the market that MFH is demonstrating consistent execution capability and growing relevance of its blockchain-based infrastructure strategy within the public markets.

“Moving from the Russell Microcap to the Russell 2000 shows that investors recognize the value we are creating in blockchain finance,” Qiu added. “Our Bitcoin treasury reserve initiative is the next logical step in this evolution.”

Pacira BioSciences Unveils Three-Year Clinical Data Following a Single Local Administration of Investigational Gene Therapy, PCRX-201, in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Osteoarthritis of the Knee

— PCRX-201 demonstrated sustained clinical efficacy with improvements in pain, stiffness, and function for up to three years –

BRISBANE, Calif., June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCRX), the industry leader in the delivery of innovative, non-opioid pain therapies to transform the lives of patients, today announced new long-term follow-up data from its Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec), a novel gene therapy candidate for osteoarthritis of the knee. Results show that a single intra-articular injection of PCRX-201 was well tolerated and produced sustained improvements in pain, stiffness, and function through 156 weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee.

The study findings will be presented during a poster session at the 2025 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on Wednesday, June 11, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM CET.

“The three-year data from this trial underscore the potential of PCRX-201 to meaningfully change the treatment paradigm for patients living with osteoarthritis of the knee,” said Philip G. Conaghan, Professor of Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Leeds and lead author on the study. “Current osteoarthritis treatments target its symptoms and are limited to three to six months of pain relief. With PCRX-201, we are targeting chronic inflammation at the cellular level to address a root cause of osteoarthritis. Providing three or more years of improvements in pain and function while potentially modifying the disease with a single intraarticular injection would be transformative for patients, physicians, and the healthcare system.”

PCRX-201 features an innovative design based on the company’s proprietary high-capacity adenovirus, or HCAd, gene therapy vector platform. It is injected locally into the knee joint to boost cellular production of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and block interleukin-1 pathway activation to improve chronic inflammation, pain, and function. PCRX-201’s unique disease-modifying design also features an inducible promoter to mimic the body’s natural response to inflammation by “turning up” the expression of IL-1Ra when inflammation is present in the joint and turning down expression once inflammation is quelled.  

Study Details

The open-label, Phase 1 trial investigated the safety and efficacy of PCRX-201 administered by ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection in 72 patients aged 30 to 80 who remained in the trial for 156 weeks. Participants were divided into two cohorts. The first cohort (N=36) was administered one injection of PCRX-201 at a low, middle or high dosage. The second cohort (N=36) received concurrent pretreatment with an intra-articular corticosteroid (methylprednisolone 40 mg) to improve tolerability and gene transfer. Knee pain, stiffness and function were assessed at 156 weeks using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index pain score (WOMAC-A), the stiffness score (WOMAC-B), and the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), respectively.

Key Findings:

  • A single injection of PCRX-201 at any dose level had an acceptable safety profile and was not associated with any serious treatment-related adverse events.
  • Patients experienced sustained, clinically meaningful reductions in pain and stiffness and improvements in function for three years.
  • Least squares mean (LSM) improvements from baseline in the corticosteroid-pretreated cohort across all PCRX-201 doses included:
    • 51–53% reduction in WOMAC-A pain scores
    • 38–76% reduction in WOMAC-B stiffness scores
    • 26–28-point improvements in KOOS daily living function scores
  • The findings suggest lower doses of PCRX-201 may be effective and support ongoing investigation in Phase 2 studies.

No serious treatment-emergent AEs related to the treatment or procedure were reported regardless of steroid pretreatment or dose level administered. Treatment-related joint effusions (swelling) were the most common AE, occurring in 36% of patients who received steroid pretreatment vs 61% of patients who were not pretreated. The majority of effusions were mild to moderate in severity and resolved in a median of 33 days among patients in the pretreated group.

“PCRX-201 continues to show excellent results as a unique disease-modifying gene therapy for osteoarthritis, with the potential to transform how we manage this often-debilitating condition affecting millions of Americans,” said Frank D. Lee, chief executive officer of Pacira BioSciences. “The three-year durability that we’ve seen so far continues to reinforce the importance of advancing PCRX-201 and potentially delivering innovative solutions to meet the longstanding unmet needs of patients living with osteoarthritis of the knee.”

In March 2024, PCRX-201 became the first-ever gene therapy product candidate in osteoarthritis to receive Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

RMAT designation provides the benefits of intensive FDA guidance on efficient drug development, including the ability for early interactions with the FDA to discuss surrogate or intermediate endpoints, potential ways to support accelerated approval and satisfy post-approval requirements, potential priority review of the Biologics License Application (BLA), and other opportunities to expedite development and review. PCRX-201 was also granted Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) designation by the European Medicines Agency in May 2023.

Given the promising Phase 1 results, dosing is underway in a Phase 2 study of PCRX-201 (the ASCEND study) for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.

About PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec)

PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec) features an innovative design based on the company’s proprietary high-capacity adenovirus vector platform. It is currently being studied in the fundamental, underlying chronic inflammatory processes that contribute to “wear and tear” over time in osteoarthritis of the knee, a condition that affects more than 14 million individuals in the U.S. today.

In November 2024, Pacira reported promising data from a large Phase 1 study in which PCRX-201 provided sustained improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and function through two years following local administration, with a well-tolerated safety profile. PCRX-201 has received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) designation from the European Medicines Agency. PCRX-201 is the first gene therapy to achieve these clinical results and earn these regulatory designations in osteoarthritis of the knee – a testament to its promise and potential.
