Defibrotide Phase-2 Clinical Trial

The Phase-2 clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, open-label study of the efficacy and safety of defibrotide added to standard of care immunoprophylaxis for the prevention of aGvHD, compared to the standard of care alone. Jazz will enroll approximately 150 adult and pediatric patients who have undergone allogeneic HSCT from an unrelated donor. The primary endpoint is cumulative incidence of Grade B-D aGvHD by day +100 post-allogeneic HSCT. The trial is anticipated to begin in March 2018 and complete in January 2020.

Phase-2 Trial Complements Ongoing Phase-3 Trial Evaluating Defibrotide for Prevention of VOD in Patients Undergoing HSCT

This defibrotide Phase-2 trial complements the Company’s ongoing Phase-3 clinical trial evaluating defibrotide for prevention of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in high-risk adult and pediatric patients undergoing HSCT. In January 2017, Jazz enrolled first patient in a Phase-3 clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of defibrotide versus best supportive care (BSC) in the prevention of hepatic VOD in adult and pediatric patients undergoing HSCT who are at high risk or at very high risk of developing VOD.

HSCT is an aggressive, potentially curative procedure to treat patients with malignant and non-cancerous hematologic disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma and aplastic anemia, and congenital immunodeficiency and autoimmune disorders. VOD is a rare complication of HSCT is an early and life-threatening complication affecting the sinusoidal endothelial cells of the liver, which can typically occur within the first 21 days following HSCT.

About Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease (aGvHD)

GvHD is a life-threatening complication of HSCT that might occur after an allogeneic transplant. In GvHD, the donated bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells view the recipient’s body as foreign, and the donated cells/bone marrow attack the body, leading to inflammation and fibrosis in multiple tissues, including skin, mouth, eye, joints, liver, lung, esophagus, and GI tract.

About Defitelio®

Defitelio® is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with hepatic (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT. The most common side effects of Defitelio® are decreased blood pressure, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and nose bleeds. Defitelio® is not approved for the treatment of prevention of GvHD or prevention of VOD.

In the US, Defitelio® injection 80mg/mL received FDA marketing approval in March 2016 for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with hepatic VOD with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT and is the first and only FDA-approved therapy for patients with this rare, potentially fatal complication. In October 2013, the European Commission granted marketing authorization to Defitelio under exceptional circumstances for the treatment of severe VOD in patients undergoing HSCT therapy. It is the first and only approved treatment in Europe for severe VOD.

Active-Investors.com is focused on giving you timely information and the inside line on companies that matter to you. This morning, General Electric most recent news is on our radar and our team decided to put out a fantastic report on the company that is now available for free below:

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=GE

Commenting on the signing of the framework agreement with Ukraine, Rafael Santana, President and CEO of GE Transportation, said:

”We appreciate the continued trust and support of our partners in Ukraine, including the Ministry of Infrastructure, UkraineInvest, the Office of the National Investment Council, and Ukreximbank. With this agreement, GE will play a larger role in helping the region improve its rail infrastructure and bring products to market faster and more efficiently.”

Yevgen Kravtsov, acting Chairman of the Board of Ukrainian Railways, added:

”After many years of inactivity, this project will launch a large-scale modernization of Ukrainian Railway’s locomotive fleet. In addition to addressing Ukraine’s needs for greater capacity, this strategic partnership with GE will also provide a powerful impetus to further develop domestic manufacturing.”

Scope of the framework agreement

The deal is part of Ukraine’s efforts to modernize its transportation infrastructure and establish itself as a key player in the European rail hub and trade corridor. The agreement covers the supply of 30 GE Evolution Series freight locomotives to Ukrainian Railways, additional locomotive kits, rehabilitation of fleet of locomotives with Ukrainian Railways, and long-term maintenance services. The tenure of the agreement is for over 10 years.

The deal envisions the start of the production of the locomotives at the Company’s Erie plant in Pennsylvania, US in early 2018 with the first delivering planned for Q4 2018. The agreement outlines that certain part of the work would be undertaken locally in Ukraine which will lead to new jobs and contribute to the economic development of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government expects that nearly 40% of the locomotives’ components will be produced in Ukraine.

The deal not only plays an important role in strengthening US-Ukraine relations, but also allows GE to strengthen its position in Ukraine and contribute to the future growth of the Company. For the Ukrainian government this is an excellent opportunity to not only modernize its rail infrastructure, but also to boost economic development and growth in the country.

About GE’s TE33A locomotives

GE’s TE33A Evolution Series diesel freight locomotives have a 12-cylinder, 4,500-horsepower engine. These locomotives are known for delivering high power output, enhanced productivity, greater flexibility, lower lifecycle costs, and improved reliability in heavy-haul operations. The best part is that these locomotives are significantly better than Ukrzaliznytsya’s legacy fleet as they can significantly reduce harmful emissions, economize on fuel and oil costs, and increase time between maintenance overhauls.

Backdrop

Ukrzaliznytsya, or Ukrainian Railways, is the state-owned entity that manages the Ukrainian rail network which covers the railways of Donetsk, Lviv, Odessa, Pivdenna (Southern), Pivdenno-Zakhidna (Southwestern) and Pridniprovska Railways. In 2017, Ukrzaliznytsya had outlined a detailed development strategy and planned to invest over $6 billion for the development and modernization of the railway infrastructure projects and the renewal of its fleet. Volodymyr Omelyan, Ukraine’s Minister of Transport had been in talks with members of GE Transportation team since September 2017 for participation in Ukrzaliznytsya’s development plans. Later in December 2017, Petro Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine met with Rafael Santana, CEO of GE Transportation, to further talks of cooperation between Ukrzaliznytsya and GE Transportation for modernization of Ukrainian railway to be at par with international standards and mainly for updating the fleet of locomotives. The continuous engagement between the Ukraine government officials and the GE Transportation team has led to GE signing this historic framework agreement.

About GE Transportation

Chicago, Illinois-based GE Transportation is a division of the General Electric Co. It began as a pioneer in passenger and freight locomotives and has now grown in to a global technology leader and supplier of equipment, services and solutions to the rail, mining, marine, stationary power and drilling industries.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=JD

Details of the deal

As per the details disclosed in the filing with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Better Life’s shareholders have agreed to sell 6% stake to an affiliate of Tencent while they have agreed to sell 5% stake to an affiliate of JD.com. The shareholders had entered into the stock sale agreement with JD.com and Tencent in February 14, 2018. The deal values Better life at CNY 17.11 per share. Better Life shares have been suspended from trading on the stock exchange since January 22, 2018, and are expected to resume trading on the bourse as from February 26, 2018. Better Life shares closed at CNY 19.01 on January 19, 2018, the last day of trading before the stock was suspended for trading.

JD.com and Tencent plan to work with Better Life to offer “smart” and “borderless” retailing. They aim to build a digitized ecosystem to realize their plans.

About Better Life Commercial Chain Share Co., Ltd

Better Life is a Chinese retailer operating supermarket and department stores. The Company has 592 physical stores, spread over Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guangxi provinces in China. In FY16, the Company’s revenues were CNY37 billion. The Company has over 60,000 employees across its locations.

Chinese ecommerce giants enter physical retail market

JD.com and Tencent have been investing in the Chinese retail sector. China is still dependent on the conventional retail sector which account for approximately 85% of the total retail sales. Hence, these companies have been investing in Chinese retail stores in the last few months. Tencent has invested over CNY 20 billion in retail Companies like Heilan Home Co. (clothing retailer), Yonghui Superstores (supermarket chain), and Carrefour (French Retail chain). On the other hand, JD.com in early February 2018 partnered with Hong Kong-based Fung Retailing. Fung Retailing runs thousands of stores globally, including Toys R Us stores in Asia. JD.com also opened its first physical fresh food supermarket in Beijing named 7Fresh. 7Fresh is a 4,000 square meter supermarket in southern Beijing

In late January 2018, Tencent and JD.com along with other investors acquired 14% stake in Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. (Wanda Commercial) one of the world’s biggest commercial property Company. In December 2017 JD.com and Tencent also jointly invested approximately $863 million in Vipshop Holdings Ltd, a leading online discount retailer for brands in China.

The sudden interest in physicalretail sector by these internet majors should not be surprising. The key attraction is in the data generated from the retail arena, the access to payment systems, logistics, and distribution network and other ancillary services. For instance, Tencent does not directly profit from retail but gains access to precious data from the retail sector which it can use to improve its tech service offerings. it can gain tremendous insight about consumer behavior, influencers. The Company can then develop apps that offer location and user-based promotions which can translate into visits to partner stores.

Tencent has partnered with JD.com to compete with Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd (NYSE: BABA), to get a share in China’s $4.9 trillion retail sector. Alibaba has been investing strategically in physical retail stores and chains, and the company even started its retail chain of fresh food supermarkets – Hema in 2016. In February 2018, Alibaba had announced the acquisition of 15% stake in China’s leading traditional home improvement chains, Beijing Easyhome Furnishing Chain Store Group Co.

Alibaba also has invested heavily in retail companies like Suning.com, Intime Retail, Sanjiang Shopping Club, Lianhua Supermarket, Wanda Film, and home improvement store Easyhome. Since technology plays a key role in improving efficiencies in the retail sector, the interest shown by Tencent and Alibaba is relatable. Both tech giants aim to leverage their tech expertise to improve sales and revenues.

JD.com is the largest retailer by revenue in China and is a leader in ecommerce, logistics, technology, and finance sectors. It was the first Chinese internet company to make the Fortune Global 500 List.

AiFi Creates First Scalable Checkout-Free Store Technology to Empower All Brick-and-Mortar Stores to Upgrade, Innovate and Remain Competitive

AI Technology and Cameras Create the Store of the Future Offering a Pleasant Shopping Experience and No Wait Times for Customers; Efficiency and Better Inventory Management for Retailers of All Sizes

SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / AiFi, a computer vision technology company, is introducing the first scalable checkout-free solution for stores from small mom-and-pop convenience shops to major mega retailers of tens of thousands of square feet. Using its innovative AI technology, sensor and camera networks and seamless system integration, AiFi is empowering all stores so they can move toward a checkout-free future and remain competitive while significantly improving the shopping experience for consumers. AiFi is already working with one of the world’s largest retailers to create its checkout-free solution on a massive scale.

Targeting the “trillion-dollar opportunity” for all retail stores to upgrade and innovate and capturing offline data and behavioral trends, AiFi has created a comprehensive checkout-free solution. The technology incorporates AiFi’s proprietary computer vision algorithms with computing at the edge using low-power mobile devices to run multi-person behavior tracking and product recognition in real time.

AiFi has also developed unique ways of generating training data that can tackle many different shopping scenarios in practice, ensuring the solution becomes totally accurate. The affordable checkout-free solution does not require any major retrofitting on the part of the stores and once installed, retailers will gain improved inventory management data as well as valuable insights into consumer shopping habits and product preferences.

The AiFi technology can track a shopper as he moves through the store and goes from camera to camera. Shoppers are recognized as individuals and the cameras can determine a shopper is the same person, from a range of vantage points.

“Consumers and businesses alike want to be efficient and with a checkout-free store, consumers have an incredible shopping experience. Because our technology is massively scalable, tens of thousands of stores worldwide can become a ‘grab and go’ type of retailer,” said Steve Gu, CEO, AiFi. “The shopping experience now demonstrated and widely promoted by Amazon is just the tiniest taste of what the AiFi technology will do for retailers – with shops that range from tiny to huge. Our pilot will roll out in one very large store, orders of magnitude bigger than the Amazon Go store, at the end of this year, with many more large stores to follow so thousands of consumers will experience the delight of no longer standing in long and tedious checkout lines.”

AiFi’s checkout-free technology utilizes:

AI algorithms which demonstrate superior performance for real-time people tracking, action recognition, and product recognition
Sophisticated camera technology that can adapt to any type of store, ranging from a big brand store with thousands of square feet to the small/family-owned shop on the corner.
Systems which continuously track hundreds or thousands of shoppers in a store and which can recognize or re-identify them throughout a complete shopping session
A comprehensive understanding of shopping behaviors and gestures (even identifying abnormal gestures), and identifies people who are shopping together as a group
Technology to recognize tens of thousands of SKU item numbers based on AI

“Here’s what we know. More than 90% of last year’s retail sales came from physical stores yet Americans spent at least 37 billion hours waiting in line, which is considered the top frustration among shoppers,” continued Gu. “Convenience is key if stores want to grow and drive business. Our solution helps stores run more efficiently and provides customers with a better shopping experience. Run in, grab what you need and continue on with your day. Easier for shoppers and more insights and real-time statistics for stores so they can better serve their customers and manage overall operations.”

GH Capital’s ClickDirectPay Launches Cryptocurrency Commerce to Mainstream Merchants

ClickDirectPay’s Express Coin Payments Enables Global Merchants to Accept Multiple Cryptocurrencies

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / GH Capital, Inc. (OTCQB: GHHC), a diversified FinTech holding company, today announced that its online payment service subsidiary, ClickDirectPay (clickdirectpay.com), today announced the launch of ClickDirectPay’s Express Coin Payments, offering merchants the ability to accept multiple cryptocurrencies into a secure wallet. This opens up a low barrier channel for merchants globally to offer cryptocurrencies within their ecommerce service.

While much of 2017 revolved around ICOs, cryptocurrencies have been fighting to find a place in the real world, living mostly in the cyber realm. By allowing businesses to accept alternative payment options, this creates true value and utility for the coins.

Mr. Bane Katic, Head of CDP Europe, commented, “We know cryptocurrencies are here to stay. This landscape is growing and changing every day and our goal is to create utility and real life uses for these coins. As this space matures, we want to make sure we are also adapting to provide quicker, cheaper, and accessible options for both our merchants and customers.”

During launch, the Express Coin Payment allows merchants to accept up to four leading cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ethereum, as a form of payment. To create a low-friction on boarding experience, ClickDirectPay has created an easy to integrate solution to get regular merchants up and running quickly.

The appeal for merchants in accepting cryptocurrencies over other means of payment such as cash and credit cards could be any of the following reasons:

There are no banks, central entity, clearing houses or middlemen involved when validating a transaction, making the speed of transaction quick and low cost
Cryptocurrencies are truly borderless and international
Due to the nature where cryptocurrencies are not owned by any particular government or organization, the process to accept cryptocurrencies are much quicker with less hurdles to jump through
No chargebacks since every transaction is recorded on the blockchain and immutable making accepting payments much like cash but with all the components mentioned above.

The growing niche market of accepting alternative payments means the next generation of online payment behavior has already started, especially in the high risk payment processing industry. With products and services being delivered to customers globally, payment methods have always been an obstacle in the process. Cryptocurrencies allow anyone, anywhere to pay, creating new opportunities in markets which otherwise may have been restricted. ClickDirectPay shall become a one shop solution for online merchants worldwide to accept cryptocurrencies in real time, hassle free.

As more businesses operate online and service multiple countries around the world, the idea of integrating with multiple solutions and frameworks can be daunting.The goal of CDP has always been to create a seamless, easy and quick on-boarding of payment solutions for global online merchants no matter where they are located in the world, or what currencies they deal with. Cryptocurrencies will accelerate this process.

Blockchain Industries Invests in Chimes’ Pioneering Bifurcated ICO with Forthcoming SEC Registration

Chimes’ Music Dataset and Marketplace on the Blockchain Aims to Protect Crypto Investor Interest with Pioneering Launch of ICO as SEC Registered Company

NEW YORK, NY and SANTA MONICA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2018 / Digital entertainment company, Chimes Media, today announced the completion of a private investment in the form of token purchases from Blockchain Industries, Inc. (OTC PINK: BCII), an investor in second generation initial coin offerings (ICOs). Blockchain Industries’ investment will help Chimes develop the first-ever comprehensive, decentralized and incentive-based music dataset for fans, musicians and industry professionals.

Blockchain Industries’ token purchase investment in Chimes involves both a utility token (CHI Token) and equity token (CME Token), which make up its proposed market-leading bifurcated ICO. This unique offering would be held by a fully reporting company that is proposed to be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“This investment brings us the best of both worlds,” said Patrick Moynihan, CEO of BCII. “Through our equity investment, Blockchain Industries will benefit from Chimes Media’s long-term success in providing better user experiences in an industry that needs new revenue streams as well as avenues of engagement for the next wave of music fans.” “Our partnership is further supported by our purchase of Chimes’ utility token for its music marketplace. This is a template for innovative businesses who are at the forefront of their industries to raise capital and leverage the new efficiencies of blockchain,” said Moynihan.

Chimes’ forthcoming blockchain-based music marketplace will allow the industry entry into new services, including micro-licensing, crowdsourced music projects and sponsored creation of music. Its marketplace will also give public and industry access to artists, incentive-based rewards for data updates and a common currency for a trusted cross-border payment system.

“Several entertainment search categories have been consolidated by databases, such as film searches by Amazon’s IMDb and Wikipedia, but not the music search category,” said Joe Mohen, CEO and founder of Chimes Media. “As the first mover, Chimes is able to capitalize on this rare opportunity to create a massive audience and global marketplace, providing entirely new revenue streams for the music industry. All the while, ensuring crypto backer and investor interest in an environment with little regulatory oversight.”

With its proposed ICO planned for launch in the second quarter of this year, Chimes will become the nexus for artists’ interactions with fans, communications between industry professionals and a key launch point for consumer music e-commerce purchases and music-related advertising.

ICO 2.0

Chimes intends to conduct a bifurcated ICO for the purchase of both utility and equity tokens, which will represent equity ownership in the company and utility tokens for Chimes’ music marketplace. In this transaction, 80 percent of the tokens purchased by BCII are CME Tokens and 20 percent, CHI Tokens. The equity investment is in the form of Series T tokens, each of which is analogous to a share of stock.

Chimes plans to register the tokens sold to BCII under United States Securities’ laws so that the tokens will be tradeable on an authorized token exchange in the next year. In addition, Chimes will issue a second coin for its marketplace, CHI Token, a standard utility token to create a circulating, functional, micro-coin for business on its music websites.

About Chimes Media

Chimes Broadcasting, Inc., doing business as Chimes Media, has one of the largest dataset of music production credits, which consolidates search results related to music. Chimes is creating a marketplace around music products for that audience, giving the public access to musicians, professionals and celebrities through chats, consumer gifts, micro-rights, music merchandise, access as well as a professional automated system to hire recording artists, composers, producers, and other professionals using smart contracts.
