MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Andisor, a pioneering digital wholesale platform, has announced the close of a $1M pre-seed funding round, backed by industry heavyweights. This significant investment marks a new era for brick-and-mortar retailers, empowering them to compete and excel in a market increasingly dominated by online giants.

Dr Kate Cornick, CEO at LaunchVic, added, "LaunchVic is proud to back Andisor’s mission to revolutionise the wholesale retail sector. It’s exciting to see founders like Vandana, with extensive corporate experience, building tools that redefine the industry."

The funding round saw participation from early-stage venture capital firm Antler, LaunchVic’s Alice Anderson fund, Jam Pad Investments, and several prominent retail operators and leaders. This diverse group of investors reflects the broad appeal and potential of Andisor’s innovative approach to retail.

Paul Greenberg, founder of DealsDirect, a pioneer online retailer, and founder of the NORA Network shares, "The vision of Andisor to forge connections and bolster sustainable growth in the fashion industry, leveraging the power of technology, strikes a chord with us at JamPad Investments. Understanding the hurdles brands face in wholesale expansion, we are thrilled to back Andisor’s seasoned and varied team as they navigate and address these complex challenges."

Andisor stands out as the first platform of its kind, designed to connect enterprise-level buyers and sellers in a dynamic and efficient manner. Vandana Chaudhry, Founder and CEO of Andisor, and former executive at Deliveroo and Crocs, likens the platform to The Iconic but for B2B transactions. "Retail is a high-stakes, fast-paced industry where precision in buying is crucial. Andisor addresses this by offering a lower-risk path for brands to penetrate the market, overcoming the constraints of limited resources and risk appetite," Vandana explains.

Nishan Wijemanne, co-founder of Cohesio Group and Shiperoo, says, "I am supporting Andisor because I love their fresh take on changing the B2B retail scene. With my supply chain and tech experience, I recognise how important it is to blend intuition and analytics for smart buying. Andisor’s platform excels at bringing a clever and thoughtful approach to retail procurement."

The origin of Andisor is rooted in the founder’s extensive experience in global marketplaces. This experience highlighted a universal challenge: the difficulty of forging meaningful B2B relationships. Inspired by the transformative role of data at Deliveroo, Andisor was conceived to empower retailers through data-driven partnerships. "Throughout my career, I’ve seen businesses struggle to build impactful B2B relationships. Andisor is about creating win-win situations, driving success for both buyers and sellers," shares Vandana.

Cath Rogers, Partner at Antler in Australia, comments, "The retail sector, particularly for small and medium businesses, has faced formidable challenges recently. Andisor has astutely responded to this by creating a platform that not only enables brands to boost their revenue from small and independent customers profitably but also offers these retailers a seamless platform to access and purchase from global brands. The depth of Andisor’s industry connections and the magnitude of the opportunity they present is truly exciting for us at Antler as their day zero investors."

Since its inception, Andisor has rapidly gained traction, attracting high-calibre brands and discerning retailers. These power players value Andisor for its ability to enhance decision-making speed and inventory turnover, thanks to its data-centric approach.

The market potential for Andisor is immense. As per McKinsey’s ‘State of Fashion 2023’ report, the global B2B eCommerce market was valued at $14.9 trillion in 2020, significantly larger than the B2C market. With the retail and wholesale market projected to reach $100 trillion by 2025, Andisor is strategically positioned in a sector ripe for innovation.

The recent investment will be strategically used to advance Andisor’s analytics and segmentation tools, providing brands with actionable insights to manage merchandise production and supply with agility. "As an advisor for Andisor, I’ve seen its global appeal," said Nicole Kleid, ex Rampersand VC and Founder of Start Small Ventures. "Andisor’s expansion plans are as bold as the partnerships it fosters, setting a new standard for B2B retail excellence."

Investors are confident in Andisor’s future: "Andisor’s fusion of market intelligence with a streamlined wholesale process is what the industry needs. Their clear vision for the future of retail is why we support them," an investor commented.

With this financial backing, Andisor is poised to redefine the digital wholesale experience for retailers globally, facilitating growth and strategic partnerships in the dynamic world of fashion and consumer brands.

Human Rights Day Statement by Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today we mark a milestone in history: the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As people around the world commemorate Human Rights Day, we must also deeply reflect on the meaning of this historic document and what it takes to achieve peace in the world.

10 December 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). This landmark document enshrines the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

The inspiring preamble of the Universal Declaration is not the work of an indifferent or greedy mindset. It was crafted by those able to delve into their hearts and souls to authentically express the imperatives for peaceful co-existence in the world.

Inspired by the East and West, North and South, Eleanor Roosevelt, together with the French jurist, Rene Cassin, were the driving force behind the Universal Declaration for Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and successive legal human rights conventions, one can safely say that these rights were not proclaimed to find consensus around the lowest common denominator. Rather, the Declaration was created to inspire and mold consensus around the highest of human values: the goal was to achieve peace.

The preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: ‘Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.’ Yet, almost a century later, these universal rights are largely not respected, nor equally applied. As the essence of these values and laws are eroded and ignored, is it any wonder that there are more wars, conflicts and widespread injustices, resulting in more refugees, internal displacement and immense human suffering?

This unspeakable, yet preventable, human suffering comes about because we have departed from our highest of human values through many small and big decisions. These are decisions leading to actions severely undermining the foundation for peaceful co-existence in the world. Haven’t freedom, equality and justice for all members of the human family been compromised or disregarded enough?

The path to peace is not complicated. The answer lies in the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all the rights enshrined in the Declaration.

The right to an inclusive, sustainable quality education is a foundational right. A continued quality education empowers every child and adolescent to claim all other rights. The chance of success is even greater provided that these children and adolescents live in an environment conducive to all other human rights – also for their families, communities and countries.

This is not complicated. It only demands that we take courageous decisions in every role we find ourselves – and deploy meaningful action – to begin materializing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for all members of the human family.

It would be such a purposeful way of moving forward. It would be a profound legacy to leave behind for the young generation and for generations to come. All we need to do is to act as our conscience dictates. Or, as the co-author of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Eleanor Roosevelt, rhetorically asked: "When will our conscience grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it."

Full analysis of multinational pivotal study results of golidocitinib in relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) (JACKPOT8 PART B) simultaneously published in The Lancet Oncology and presented in oral session at the 65th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (2023 ASH, San Diego). Golidocitinib demonstrated superior and durable clinical benefits in the treatment of r/r PTCL, with a median duration of response (mDoR) of 20.7 months, significantly outperforming existing treatment options.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Dizal today presented the full analysis of the multinational pivotal study of golidocitinib for r/r PTCL (JACKPOT8 PART B) in an oral presentation at the 65th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (2023 ASH, San Diego). The results were simultaneously published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal The Lancet Oncology (Impact Factor: 54.4). This follows the publication of the Phase I clinical data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT8 PART A) in Annals of Oncology (Impact Factor: 51.8) three months ago.

Golidocitinib is currently the first and only Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) selective inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of r/r PTCL. A total of 104 patients with r/r PTCL were enrolled in the JACKPOT8 PART B study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of golidocitinib as a monotherapy. At the cut-off date of August 31, 2023, per independent review committee (IRC) assessment, 70% of patients achieved target lesion size reduction, yielding an overall response rate (ORR) of 44.3%, and a complete response rate (CRR) of 23.9%. Tumor responses were observed across various PTCL subtypes. The responses were durable, with the median duration of response (mDoR) of 20.7 months. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 5.6 months, and the median overall survival (mOS) was 19.4 months and still ongoing. As a potent JAK1 inhibitor with > 200 to 400-fold selectivity over other JAK family members, golidocitinib demonstrated a favorable safety profile. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reversible and clinically manageable. These findings highlight the potential of golidocitinib to offer robust and durable clinical benefits for patients with r/r PTCL.

"PTCL is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with the characteristics of various subtypes, high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Patients with r/r PTCL have limited treatment options and a poor prognosis with a low survival rate. The efficacy of current treatment modalities varies among different r/r PTCL subtypes." said Jun Zhu, MD, PhD at the Department of Lymphoma, Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute, the correspondence author of the paper, "The JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of various hematologic malignancies, including T-cell malignancies. Consequently, targeting the JAK/STAT pathway emerges as an innovative and highly promising treatment option for PTCL. Golidocitinib is an oral, potent, JAK1 only inhibitor with superior selectivity and favorable pharmacokinetic properties, offers robust and sustained inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway while maintaining optimal clinical safety."

"In the JACKPOT8 PART B study, more than 100 patients with r/r PTCL were enrolled. The efficacy analysis of 88 patients revealed an ORR of 44.3%, with 23.9% achieving complete response. Notably, a consistently high ORR was observed across various PTCL subtypes. The median DoR for golidocitinib was 20.7 months, mPFS reached 5.6 months, and mOS was 19.4 months." said Yuqing Song, MD, PhD at the Department of Lympho-Oncology of Peking University Cancer Hospital, the lead author of the paper, "Golidocitinib demonstrates superior ORR and survival results as compared to the current available treatment options and offers hope for improving the poor prognosis of patients with r/r PTCL. These findings present innovative therapeutic possibilities and paves the way towards better patient outcomes."

"It is gratifying to see the increasing recognition of golidocitinib’s potential as a new therapy for patients with PTCL." said Xiaolin Zhang, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Dizal, "Patients with r/r PTCL have long been facing limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Golidocitinib stands as a major achievement resulting from Dizal’s dedicated translational science efforts. Its superior efficacy and safety, as demonstrated through compelling global pivotal trials, bring hope for these underserved patients."

These findings, highlighting the superior efficacy and safety of golidocitinib, have been widely acknowledged at prestigious conferences including ASCO, EHA, ICML, and ASH, with six oral presentations over four consecutive years. In September 2023, the NDA for golidocitinib was accepted by the CDE with Priority Review status for the treatment of r/r PTCL. Dizal continues to expand the scope of clinical research on golidocitinib and explore its application in a broader patient population. At 2023 ASH, Dizal will also announce positive results of golidocitinib as maintenance therapy for patients with PTCL after first-line systemic therapy in a phase 2 study (JACKPOT26).

About golidocitinib (DZD4205)

Golidocitinib is currently the first and only Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) selective inhibitor being evaluated for the treatment of r/r PTCLs. At the data cut-off date of August 31, 2023, Golidocitinib has demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor activity, with an ORR of 44.3%. More than 50% of the patients with tumor remission achieved a complete response with a CRR of 23.9%. Per IRC assessment, mDoR reached 20.7 months. Golidocitinib was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of r/r PTCL in February 2022. In September 2023, the CDE accepted the NDA and granted the Priority Review status for the treatment of r/r PTCL. The Phase I clinical data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT8 PART A) was published in Annals of Oncology (Impact Factor: 51.8), and global pivotal trials data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT PART B) was published in The Lancet Oncology (Impact Factor: 54.4).
