New Jersey Natural Gas Extends Bill Credit Through January 2021; Announces Additional $12.5 Million for Customers

New Jersey Natural Gas Extends Bill Credit Through January 2021; Announces Additional $12.5 Million for Customers

Adds to $10 million bill credit already benefiting customers in month of December

WALL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), the principal subsidiary of New Jersey Resources (NYSE: NJR) today notified the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) it will provide residential and small commercial customers with a bill credit of $12.5 million for the month of January. The credit comes on top of a $10 million credit issued for December, a total of $22.5 million delivered to customers over the two-month period.

This one-time additional bill credit will save the typical residential heating customer using 197 therms during the month of January $24.03, or a decrease of 11.3% on their monthly bill.

When combined with the previous credit issued in December, NJNG will have saved the average customer $43.34 over the two-month period.

“With the arrival of winter snowfall and colder temperatures across the state, we are pleased to be able provide another timely bill credit to our customers during the heating season, when bills are typically at their highest,” said Steve Westhoven, President and CEO of New Jersey Natural Gas. “We will continue to utilize our market expertise and prudently manage our costs to identify savings wherever possible for our customers.”

NJNG is able to provide this additional bill credit at this time due to lower natural gas prices. NJNG does not earn a return on the price of natural gas used to serve its customers. This bill credit does not affect NJNG’s profitability.

While delivering this type of direct, broad-based relief benefits all of its customers, NJNG recognizes many customers are still struggling under the economic pressures of the pandemic and has additional resources to help. Any customer who is having trouble paying their bills should contact NJNG to be connected with Energy Assistance programs that can provide other relief, including: deferred payment arrangements, budget plans, utility bill payment assistance, one-time grants, and low- or no-cost energy efficiency programs to reduce consumption and lower bills.

If you or someone you know is a NJNG utility residential customer in need of assistance, call 800-221-0051 and say “energy assistance” at the prompt to speak with an NJNG customer service representative or email us at [email protected].

Leap Therapeutics Announces Publication of DKN-01 Mechanism of Action Data in Molecular Cancer Research

– Results demonstrate that DKN-01 activity is both immune dependent and enhanced in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies –

PR Newswire

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Leap Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:LPTX), a biotechnology company focused on developing targeted and immuno-oncology therapeutics, today announced the publication in Molecular Cancer Research of preclinical results from studies of human and murine versions of DKN-01, a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to and blocks the activity of the Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) protein. The article, entitled “mDKN-01, a Novel Anti-DKK1 Monoclonal Antibody, Enhances Innate Immune Responses in the Tumor Microenvironment,” is available online. The studies characterized a murine version of DKN-01 (mDKN-01) in order to better understand the mechanism of action (MOA) of DKK1 inhibition in two mouse cancer models.

“In the current studies, we demonstrated that the inhibition of DKK1 with a monoclonal antibody in a syngeneic melanoma model led to tumor growth inhibition (TGI) requiring host NK1.1 cells, but not T or B cells, and provided enhanced efficacy when combined with a PD-1 inhibitor. In a second model, the antibody was a potent inhibitor of breast cancer metastases to lung,” said Walter Newman, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow of Leap. “These results show the innate immune system effects of mDKN-01 and support further exploration as to how DKN-01 results in the activation of NK cells and mitigation of metastatic spread.”

DKK1, a secreted modulator of Wnt/Beta-catenin and CKAP4/PI3K/AKT signaling, is overexpressed in many cancers, is associated with worse clinical outcomes, and has been shown to have immunosuppressive effects. To better understand the DKN-01 MOA, Leap engineered a murine framework for the DKN-01 CDR domains and examined the efficacy of mDKN-01 in a mouse model of melanoma. These studies show that targeting DKK1 suppresses tumor growth, reduces intra-tumoral myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in the tumor and spleen, activates NK cells, and up-regulates PD-L1 expression on MDSC. Tumor cell signaling analysis in these studies indicates that mDKN-01 is not acting as a Wnt/B-catenin pathway agonist, but is inducing a collection of favorable immune changes in the tumor microenvironment.

In the animal model studied, mDKN-01 and an anti-PD-1 antibody demonstrated additive TGI effects. A clinical trial of DKN-01 plus pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, has recently been completed in esophagogastric cancer patients with promising results in patients whose tumors express high levels of DKK1. Leap has recently initiated a trial of DKN-01 in combination with BeiGene’s tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in DKK1-high second line gastroesophageal junction and gastric cancer (GEJ/GC) patients and in combination with tislelizumab, capecitabine, and oxaliplatin in first-line GEJ/GC patients.

About DKN-01

DKN-01 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to and specifically blocks the activity of the Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) protein, a modulator of Wnt/Beta-catenin and CKAP4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, frequently implicated in tumorigenesis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer and Fast Track Designation in combination with tislelizumab for the treatment of patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors express high DKK1 protein, following disease progression on or after prior fluoropyrimidine- and platinum- containing chemotherapy and if appropriate, human epidermal receptor growth factor (HER2)/neu-targeted therapy.

About Leap Therapeutics

Leap Therapeutics (Nasdaq:LPTX) is focused on developing targeted and immuno-oncology therapeutics. Leap’s most advanced clinical candidate, DKN-01, is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) protein. DKN-01 is in clinical trials in patients with esophagogastric, hepatobiliary, gynecologic, and prostate cancers. Leap has entered into a strategic partnership with BeiGene, Ltd. for the rights to develop DKN-01 in Asia (excluding Japan), Australia, and New Zealand.
