Duke Energy urges North Carolina and South Carolina customers to reduce electric usage

PR Newswire


CHARLOTTE, N.C.
, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As high temperatures increase, Duke Energy is urging customers in the Carolinas to reduce their energy use during periods of peak demand today, June 23 from 3-8 p.m. to help lessen the energy demand on the power grid and reduce the potential of isolated power outages.

As we continue to manage available power supplies, protect the grid and maintain normal operations, here are some simple ways customers can help:

  • At home, raise the temperature to the highest comfortable setting. Keep in mind: Your system will run longer the hotter it is outside – even if your thermostat setting never changes. Postpone laundry until later in the evening or tomorrow morning.
  • Avoid prolonged use of your electric range/oven, which can heat up the house, making your AC work harder, using more energy.
  • Avoid using appliances such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers during the high-demand hours noted above.
  • Consider grilling outdoors to keep indoor temperatures lower and reduce energy use from electric stovetops and ovens.
  • Turn off any unnecessary appliances, unused plug-ins and lights.

“We deeply appreciate our customers’ cooperation, patience and understanding as we work to help ensure the stability and reliability of the system,” said Ben Harrison, Duke Energy vice president of grid operations – planning and operations. “We understand that reducing electricity use during these hours can be inconvenient, but our customers’ actions make a significant difference for all.”

Duke Energy 

Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), a Fortune 150 company headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is one of America’s largest energy holding companies. The company’s electric utilities serve 8.6 million customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, and collectively own 55,100 megawatts of energy capacity. Its natural gas utilities serve 1.7 million customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky. 

Duke Energy is executing an ambitious energy transition, keeping customer reliability and value at the forefront as it builds a smarter energy future. The company is investing in major electric grid upgrades and cleaner generation, including natural gas, nuclear, renewables and energy storage.

Actinium Highlights Expanded Data Set for ATNM-400 in Prostate Cancer Demonstrating Superior Efficacy to Enzalutamide and Ability to Overcome Resistance to ARPI Therapy and PSMA-Ac-225/Lu-177 Labelled Radiotherapy at the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting

PR Newswire

–  ATNM-400 shows; superior prostate cancer cell killing compared to androgen receptor inhibitor Xtandi® (enzalutamide), the ability to overcome Xtandi resistance, and activity in combination

–  ATNM-400 is more efficacious than both Pluvicto® (177-Lu-PSMA-617) and Ac-225-PSMA-617 targeted radiotherapy in prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo models and overcome resistance in prostate cancer tumors that failed Pluvicto® therapy

–  ATNM-400’s target is highly differentiated from PSMA as it is implicated in disease biology, contributing to disease progression, faster progression to castration resistance and poorer survival outcomes with target expression reported following androgen receptor inhibitor and PSMA radiotherapy

–  Data further supports ATNM-400’s potential to address critical gaps in prostate cancer treatment as a monotherapy or in sequence with other therapeutic modalities


NEW YORK
, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) (Actinium or the Company), a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies, today reported new preclinical data from its first-in-class, non-PSMA targeting radiotherapy prostate cancer candidate ATNM-400, that leverages the potent alpha-particle emitter Actinium-225 (Ac-225) isotope, at the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting being held June 21st – 24th, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The data presented at SNMMI showed ATNM-400 has superior potency compared Xtandi® (enzalutamide) and is highly efficacious in Xtandi® resistant prostate models. Xtandi is an androgen receptor inhibitor (ARPI) therapy developed and marketed by Astellas and Pfizer that is approved for three stages of prostate cancer and generated sales of $5.9 billion in 2024. Actinium also presented additional new data showing ATNM-400 is more efficacious than PSMA-617 labeled with both Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) and Ac-225 and that ATNM-400 also overcomes resistance to Pluvicto® (Lu-177-PSMA-617). Pluvicto® is developed and marketed by Novartis and generated sales of $1.4 billion in 2024. ATNM-400 represents a transformational therapeutic candidate being developed to overcome limitations of current prostate cancer therapies such as Xtandi® and Pluvicto® and improve outcomes over what is currently achievable. Key data and highlights from the ATNM-400 SNMMI presentation include: 

ATNM-400 Target Expression Profile and Disease Biology

  • The ATNM-400 target is implicated in prostate cancer disease biology and contributes directly to disease progression, with expression correlating with shorter time to castration resistance and poorer survival in castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients making it differentiated from PSMA, which serves primarily as a surface marker
  • The target for ATNM-400 is also reported to be elevated in prostate cancer patients who develop resistance to the ARPI therapy Xtandi®
  • ATNM-400 shows consistent tumor uptake, rapid clearance from the blood and clearance from vital organs including intestines, liver, and kidneys
  • Target expression is retained post Pluvicto® treatment in prostate cancer models

ATNM-400 Compared to Xtandi® (enzalutamide) 

  • ATNM-400 exhibited potent killing of all Xtandi® resistant prostate cancer cells that remained following treatment with Xtandi®, with Xtandi® only killing 50% of the resistant prostate cancer cells
  • ATNM-400 monotherapy and in combination with Xtandi® had superior anti-tumor efficacy in vivo compared to Xtandi alone in a prostate cancer model; all treatments were well-tolerated with no change in body weight
  • ATNM-400 inhibited tumor growth of Xtandi® resistant tumors whereas re-treatment with Pluvicto® or additional enzalutamide did not

ATNM-400 Compared to PSMA targeted Radiotherapy

  • ATNM-400 was more potent than both Pluvicto® (177Lu-PSMA-617) and 225Ac-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer cell killing
  • At therapeutically relevant doses, ATNM-400 exhibited more efficacious tumor growth inhibition compared to both Pluvicto® and 225Ac-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer in vivo model
  • As previously reported, ATNM-400 was able to overcome Pluvicto® resistance, halting tumor growth in prostate cancer tumors that failed Pluvicto therapy and producing potent tumor cell killing

Sandesh Seth, Actinium’s Chairman and CEO, said, “We are committed to advancing ATNM-400 to address the high unmet needs that remain in prostate cancer. These new data presented at SNMMI demonstrate the therapeutic potential of ATNM-400 as both a monotherapy and in combination with both androgen receptor inhibitors and PSMA radiotherapy, two leading prostate cancer treatment modalities. With ATNM-400’s target being a disease-driving protein involved in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance combined with the potency and precision of the Ac-225 isotope payload, we believe ATNM-400 has a transformational profile rooted in prostate cancer disease biology, which is strongly supported by our data. We are thrilled to highlight ATNM-400’s first-in-class data at SNMMI and highly encouraged by the strong interest from KOL’s across the prostate cancer and nuclear medicine communities. As Actinium continues to advance our efforts with novel targeted radiotherapies, ATNM-400 is the ideal cornerstone of our emerging solid tumor pipeline.”

Title: First-in-class antibody radioconjugate ATNM-400 exhibits potent anti-tumor activity and overcomes resistance to enzalutamide and 177Lu-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer models

About ATNM-400

ATNM-400 is a highly innovative, first-in-class prostate cancer candidate in comparison to Pluvicto and the majority of radiotherapies in development for prostate cancer which target PSMA and are either non-differentiated or barely differentiated, as it targets a distinct non-PSMA receptor. The receptor specifically targeted by ATNM-400 is highly expressed in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), contributes directly to disease progression and poorer survival outcomes, and continues to be expressed at a high level even after androgen receptor inhibitor and Pluvicto treatment. ATNM-400 leverages the alpha-particle emitter Ac-225, which is more potent than Lu-177, can cause lethal irreversible double-stranded DNA breaks, and has a shorter path length that could result in fewer off-target effects.

About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Actinium is a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies intended to meaningfully improve patient outcomes. Actinium is advancing its lead product candidate Actimab-A, a CD33 targeting therapeutic, as potential backbone therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other myeloid malignancies leveraging the mutation agnostic alpha-emitter radioisotope payload Actinium-225 (Ac-225). Actimab-A has demonstrated potential activity in relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML) patients in combination with the chemotherapy CLAG-M including high rates of Complete Remissions (CR) and measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity leading to improved survival outcomes and is being advanced to a pivotal Phase 2/3 trial. In addition, Actinium is engaged with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for development of Actimab-A in AML and other myeloid malignancies. The first clinical trial under the CRADA will evaluate the triplet combination comprised of Actimab-A, Venetoclax (Abbvie/Roche) an oral Bcl-2 inhibitor and ASTX-727 (Taiho Oncology, an Otsuka holdings company) a novel oral hypomethylating agent (HMA) in frontline acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Additionally, Actinium is developing Actimab-A as a potential pan tumor therapy in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors including KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO® by depleting myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which represents a potential multi-billion-dollar addressable market. ATNM-400 is Actinium’s novel non-PSMA targeting Ac-225 radiotherapy for prostate cancer, which is supported by preclinical data demonstrating higher efficacy than Xtandi (androgen receptor inhibitor) and Pluvicto (PSMA-617-Lutetium-177) and potent efficacy in prostate cancer models resistant to both therapies. Iomab-ACT, Actinium’s next generation conditioning candidate, is being developed with the goal of improving patient access and outcomes for potentially curative cell and gene therapies. Iomab-B is an induction and conditioning agent prior to bone marrow transplant in patients with r/r AML, which Actinium is seeking a potential strategic partner for the U.S. In addition, the company’s R&D efforts are primarily focused on advancing several preclinical programs for solid tumor indications. Actinium holds 230 patents and patent applications including several patents related to the manufacture of the isotope Ac-225 in a cyclotron.

Allegiant Named Best Low-Cost Airline in North America at the 2025 World Airline Awards

PR Newswire

For second consecutive year, Allegiant wins for its exceptional customer service


LAS VEGAS
, June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) has been named   2025’s Best Low-Cost Airline in North America by Skytrax, the international air transport rating organization. This is the second consecutive year Allegiant has won this award.

The Las Vegas-based airline received the recognition during Skytrax’s World Airline Awards ceremony held at the Paris Air Show in June. Known as the “Oscars of aviation,” the ceremony recognizes airlines around the world for outstanding customer service.

“It’s such an honor to receive this award once again,” said Allegiant’s Chief Executive Officer & President, Gregory C. Anderson. “We strive to provide our customers with a seamless, comfortable and convenient travel experience, and this recognition validates our efforts. As a leisure focused airline, our unique business model bridges the gap in connecting small-to-medium sized cities to premier vacation destinations. This accolade is a testament to the hard work of our team members and acknowledges Allegiant’s long history of providing exceptional service at unbeatable value for our customers.”

Founded with the mission to make air travel more accessible and convenient, Allegiant’s unique business strategy continues to reshape the U.S. leisure travel industry. Allegiant’s network of all-nonstop flights, serving communities often overlooked by other carriers, has been a key differentiator that separates the airline from others.

“Allegiant’s back-to-back recognition as North America’s best low-cost airline is a testament to its customer-focused approach. Passengers have highlighted the airline’s commitment to providing reliable, value-driven service tailored for leisure travelers,” said CEO of Skytrax, Edward Plaisted.

To determine the winners, Skytrax conducted the largest airline passenger satisfaction survey – collecting sentiment about airlines from travelers across the world, with 22.3 million surveys counted in the 2025 results. Research for the 2025 World Airline Awards was conducted between September 2024 and May 2025.

The World Airline Awards included survey participation from over 100 customer nationalities. Survey entries were screened to identify IP and user information, with all duplicate, suspect or ineligible entries deleted. Over 325 airlines are featured in the results.
