MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company) today announces that it has selected Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE: CAH, Cardinal Health) as a commercial radiopharmaceutical distributor to supply finished unit doses of its PET[1] agent, Zircaix®[2] (TLX250-CDx) for the imaging of kidney cancer in the United States (U.S.), subject to regulatory approval.

In preparation for a planned commercial rollout, Telix has contracted with Cardinal Health to enable Zircaix®[2] availability across a wide range of U.S. locations.

Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Telix Precision Medicine said, "We are pleased to build on our existing relationship with Cardinal Health to maximise patient access to this breakthrough product for non-invasive kidney cancer diagnosis. Through their extensive nuclear pharmacy network, which enables broad geographic reach and flexible scheduling, Cardinal Health has been central to the commercial success of Illuccix® PSMA-PET [3] imaging and we look forward to adding Zircaix®[2] to their U.S. roster."

Mike Pintek, President of Cardinal Health Nuclear & Precision Health Solutions, added, "This new agreement builds upon our successful relationship with Telix and our continued commitment to supporting innovative diagnostics and therapeutics addressing cancer patients today. Pending regulatory approval, our extensive commercial distribution infrastructure and expertise will facilitate reliable supply of Zircaix®[2] throughout the U.S. to help diagnose kidney cancer."

Commencement of the distribution agreement between Telix and Cardinal Health is subject to regulatory approval and includes industry-standard commercial performance and termination conditions.

About Zircaix®[2] (TLX250-CDx)

Zircaix®[2] (TLX250-CDx, 89Zr-girentuximab) is an investigational PET agent that is under development to characterise indeterminate renal masses as ccRCC or non-ccRCC in a non-invasive manner. Telix’s pivotal Phase III ZIRCON trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03849118) evaluating TLX250-CDx in 300 patients, of which 284 were evaluable, was completed in 2022 and met all primary and secondary endpoints, including showing 86% sensitivity and 87% specificity and a 93% positive-predictive value for ccRCC across three independent readers[4]. We believe this demonstrated the ability of TLX250-CDx to reliably detect the clear cell phenotype and provide an accurate, non-invasive method for diagnosing ccRCC. Confidence intervals exceeded expectations in all three readers, showing evidence of high accuracy and consistency of interpretation.

As part of Telix’s commitment to access to medicine, the Company is running an expanded access program (EAP) in the U.S.[5], named patient programs (NPPs) in Europe, and a special access scheme (SAS) in Australia to allow continued access to TLX250-CDx outside of a clinical trial to patients for whom there are no comparable or satisfactory alternate options.

Rallen Australia; Prime Value Asset Management; Geoscape Australia, and Kilter Rural have chosen WollemAI for climate and emissions reporting and management, as climate reporting becomes law in Australia. 

SYDNEY, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WollemAI, a world-first solution to measuring and reporting on financed agricultural and land emissions, has announced its expanding customer base, and appointed David Carlin as international Adviser. 

CEO and co-founder Sam Sneddon said the company had got excellent traction since its launch in November last year, and expected accelerated interest as the Australian Government recently passed new legislation to phase-in climate reporting for entities.  

"We’ve had an extremely positive reception from the finance, insurance and land management sectors and are delighted to be working with progressive companies like Geoscape Australia, Kilter Rural Prime Value Asset Management and Rallen Australia to better understand, manage and report on climate risk," she said. "Around the world companies are coming under increasing pressure to measure, manage and report their emissions, both their own and those of everyone in their supply chain, and we’re perfectly positioned to enable them do that easily and cost-effectively." 

WollemAI recently appointed David Carlin as an International adviser. Mr Carlin led the creation of UNEP FI’s risk programming, working with over 100 global financial institutions on topics of climate stress tests, risk modelling, TCFD and TNFD disclosure, among others. He is a Visiting Fellow at King’s College London, and a Senior Associate at Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). 

"WollemAI is an extremely impressive system and is exactly what institutions around the world need to play their part in working toward Net Zero," Mr Carlin said. "I’m delighted to be working with Sam and her team on this important contribution to managing climate resilience and transition risks." 

WollemAI has grown from three people to a team of 14 following its Seed round in December, led by Cultiv8 Funds Management. Co-founder John Mottram said the funding allowed WollemAI to scale more rapidly in Australia and APAC and the company was planning additional growth options for international expansion.

"We knew the demand for automated climate management would be high, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised by how strong it actually is," he said. "We have a big pipeline of implementations and we’re now looking to speed up that process and get more companies using WollemAI over the coming months." 

WollemAI replaces manual processes with a real-time SaaS solution that delivers audit-grade, verifiable analysis of any investment or loan exposure to land, agriculture or the built environment. Using public and private data sets, including the latest in GHG emissions satellite technology, the system uses proprietary emissions factors to provide actional emissions and physical risk metrics at a hyper-local level, that are rolled up to deliver portfolio level insights.

New ECW Results Report highlights significant learning outcomes achieved for children and adolescents in crisis settings and calls for urgent additional donor support to meet the rapidly escalating needs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global community is falling behind on its promise to ensure ‘quality education for all‘ by 2030. Armed conflicts, forced displacement, climate change, and other emergencies and protracted crises have left more than 224 million crisis-affected children in urgent need of education support, a sharp rise from 75 million in 2016.

Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises within the United Nations, and its strategic partners continue to defy the odds, delivering life-saving,life-sustaining and multi-year investments in education to the world’s most vulnerable children and adolescents. Since ECW became operational in 2017, its investments have reached 11 million children and adolescents, including 5.6 million girls and boys in 2023 alone.

Despite these growing needs, funding for education in emergencies and protracted crises dropped for the first time in a decade, according to Education Cannot Wait’s ‘Results Against All Odds: 2023 Annual Results Report‘, launched today in New York.

Overall humanitarian funding for education decreased by 3% last year, from US$1.2 billion in 2022 to US$1.17 in 2023, according to the report.

Education Cannot Wait (ECW), the global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises within the United Nations, and its strategic partners continue to defy the odds, delivering life-saving,  life-sustaining and multi-year investments in education to the world’s most vulnerable children and adolescents.

Since ECW became operational in 2017, its investments have reached 11 million children and adolescents, including 5.6 million girls and boys in 2023 alone. This reach is unprecedented. Yet, much more resources are needed to meet the needs of the over 224 million children, adolescents and their teachers in need of urgent support.

To date, the Fund has mobilized more than US$1.6 billion from public and private donors. However, $600 million urgently needs to be mobilized in donor contributions for ECW and its strategic partners to reach a total of 20 million children and adolescents with inclusive, quality education by the end of its 2023-2026 strategic plan period.

"For our 25 strategic donor partners, these transformative investments deliver a quality child-centered and holistic education, and thus represent a commitment to sustainable development, human rights, economic resilience and global security," said The Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown, UN Special Envoy for Global Education and Chair of ECW’s High-Level Steering Group. "Education is the most powerful tool to restore hope in a world marred by brutal conflicts, human rights violations and inequality. It is our investment in a new generation of leaders."

Impact, Depth and Sustainability
From Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Gaza, the West Bank, to Haiti, the Sahel, Sudan, Ukraine and other hotspots around the globe, ECW’s report highlights the profound impact of education in crisis settings.

"Girls and boys in crises are enduring the worst impacts of brutal man-made conflicts, forced displacement, climate change and other disasters. Our new report proves that despite these challenges, it is possible to provide them with the protection, hope and life-changing opportunity of a quality holistic education. To do this, we urgently call for US$600 million to meet our strategic plan targets and ensure a better future for 20 million girls and boys by the end of 2026," said ECW Executive Director Yasmine Sherif. "This is the time to make a moral choice that is aligned with political action."

The new report shows ECW’s strong focus on the world’s most vulnerable and at-risk children: of the children reached in 2023, more than half were girls (51%), 17% were internally displaced and 22% were refugees.

The quality and impact of the education delivered – even in the most difficult of circumstances – is also improving. In all, 9 out of 10 programmes reported improved school enrollment and 72% showed gender-equitable progress. ECW reported that, among programmes able to monitor learning outcomes, 80% of its investments demonstrated academic improvements and 72% showed improvements in children’s social and emotional learning and well-being.

ECW investments also improved the continuity of learning with notable increases in the number of girls and boys reached through the Fund’s investments in early childhood education and secondary school, disability inclusion, gender-transformative approaches, mental health support, and agile, holistic solutions that address whole-of-child needs. 

The climate crisis is an education crisis. The number of children reached through First Emergency Responses resulting from climate-induced hazards nearly doubled from 14% in 2022 to 27% in 2023.

"Education is a public good and a fundamental right. To achieve our goals, global leaders must align policies, funding and humanitarian principles. Multilateral aid funding must immediately be increased to reverse the current downward trend, and partnerships and collaboration must be strengthened across humanitarian, development and peace efforts. Education Cannot Wait has shown us that the seemingly ‘impossible’ is indeed possible – provided that the funding is made available," said The Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown.

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fractal EMS Inc. ("Fractal"), a leading provider of advanced solar and storage controls, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Gold Electronic Equipment Inc. ("Gold"), a leading high-tech company specializing in R&D, active balancing technology and manufacturing of the battery management system (BMS). A signing ceremony and celebration was held on September 9th at the RE+ clean energy conference in Anaheim, California. The new partnership will provide a cybersecure American BMS to customers worldwide ("Fractal BMS").

The Fractal BMS provides a 3-level BMS architecture (module, rack and system).  The design of the Fractal BMS has been finalized, featuring an American-sourced chip, printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and cybersecurity, ensuring compliance with U.S. policies for sourcing and critical infrastructure protection. The Fractal BMS has the option to provide active cell balancing to maximize each battery cell’s useful capacity and life.

"Other companies proposing an American BMS have not addressed the cybersecurity concerns of the BMS. Some companies are licensing a foreign BMS or only providing a top-level device, neither of which cure cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. We are thrilled to collaborate with Gold to bring this advanced American BMS to the market. This partnership underscores our commitment to innovation, security, and supporting American technology," said Daniel Crotzer, CEO at Fractal EMS.

Fractal BMS is scheduled for UL testing in late October 2024 and aims to become the gold standard for BESS deployments to mitigate risks associated with Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOC) and known cyber vulnerabilities in programmable devices. The American BMS will be available to battery manufacturers globally, offering a reliable and secure solution for battery management needs.
