Molecular Partners Presents Preclinical Data Supporting Tumor Localization Mechanism of its CD40 Agonist MP0317 at World Bispecific Summit

MP0317 activates multiple antitumor immune cell types in vitro when in the presence of tumor stroma associated FAP
MP0317 mouse surrogate localizes to FAP-expressing tumors and induces strong and durable anti-tumor responses without systemic toxicity, and demonstrates strong anti-tumor immune memory responses

ZURICH-SCHLIEREN, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Molecular Partners AG (SIX:MOLN), a clinical-stage biotech company that is developing a new class of custom-built protein drugs known as DARPin® therapeutics, today announced the presentation of preclinical findings supporting the mechanism of MP0317, a tri-specific DARPin® product candidate that includes binding domains for fibroblast activation protein (FAP), CD40, and human serum albumin (HSA). The presentation, titled "Novel therapeutic design of tumor-targeted CD40 agonist DARPin® molecule leads to antitumor activity with limited toxicity", will be presented today at 2pm (EDT) at the 11th Annual World Bispecific Summit by Clara Domke, a senior scientist oncology research at Molecular Partners.

Data presented demonstrate that a mouse surrogate MP0317 molecule induces FAP-dependent activation of B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. FAP is expressed on activated cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) and is overexpressed in the stroma of many solid tumors. Since MP0317 only activates these immune cells in the presence of FAP, MP0317 may avoid the dose-limiting side effects historically associated with systemic administration of CD40 antibodies. Additionally, in a FAP-positive colorectal cancer model, MP0317 induced complete tumor responses and demonstrated induction of an anti-tumor immunological memory, protecting the mice against subsequent tumor challenges without the need for additional treatment.

"Potent and situationally-activated antitumor therapies are an important new area for cancer treatment, when systemic toxicity can limit effective dosing of therapies with proven mechanisms like CD40 activation. With MP0317 we are tackling multiple kinds of cancer where highly fibrous, FAP-rich stromal tissue has historically presented a barrier to immune cell penetration. These data demonstrate the potential for turning this barrier into a target, by utilizing it as an anchor for the delivery of super-potent immunostimulatory molecules," said Nicolas Leupin M.D., chief medical officer of Molecular Partners. "We look forward to filing appropriate regulatory applications for MP0317 around the end of 2020 and initiating clinical studies in the first half of 2021."

The presentation will be made available on the company's corporate website, www.molecularpartners.com.

About Molecular Partners' Oncology Portfolio

DARPin® candidates are uniquely versatile, custom-built molecules with the potential to help people suffering from a broad range of diseases, including cancer. Given their small size, multi-functional design and unique binding surfaces, DARPin® molecules can address molecular targets found within dense tumor microenvironments that have been difficult to access by other drug modalities, such as antibodies. Molecular Partners has delivered substantial proof-of-concept in its oncology portfolio by advancing investigational DARPin® therapeutics against highly validated targets such as HER2 and VEGF into clinical studies. The Company has focused the next phase of its oncology portfolio strategy on exploring novel targets and mechanisms for selective immune activation. Molecular Partners has designed DARPin® candidates to activate only when proximal to the target tumor, improving efficacy and potentially eliminating off-target side effects. Promising immune modulators such as peptide-MHC complexes, 4-1BB and CD40 are also the target of novel DARPin® programs.

Eva Lanska Brings Attention to Interracial Marriages Through Her Award-Winning Film at The Chelsea Film Festival

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Eva Lanska, an award-winning director, will present her third film, Little French Fish, at the Chelsea Film Festival in New York on October 15, 2020.

In September 2020, Eva received the Best Director awards by the Hollywood Women's Film Institute for ​Little French Fish​. Her previous film, ​Ok, Mum​, won the Best Picture award at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was selected for the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.

Little French Fish, starring British actors Jonas Khan and Devora Wilde, is based on the book "Musée d'une histoire naturelle," written by French writer Marina Kokush. The film brings attention to the global stigma against interracial marriages through an Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim man's relationship. The film follows an intercultural couple falling in love while feeling the pressure of traditional conflicts and strict social orders. This young couple must choose between two difficult options: follow tradition and please society or break current conventions and follow their hearts.

As current relations between the UAE and Israel begin to improve, advancing peace in the Middle East and normalizing ties between both countries, Lanska's film conveys the wistful and anguishing sentiments felt by both communities through a new spin on the classic Romeo and Juliet tale.

Eva Lanska's film studies the ideal notion of acceptance in a conflicting circumstance. She poses pressing questions throughout the film, giving ambiguous answers to direct her audience to reflect on the choices and ultimately decide what the main characters' should do. When asked about the reasoning behind her film's ending, Eva mentioned that "in such difficult circumstances, I want my audience to understand the weight of such choices and that in our modern world, where can they really escape? I posed this question to my viewers to let them decide what the heroes should do, and by doing so, make them feel responsible for their fate".

About Eva Lanska

Eva is a London-based director and screenwriter. After graduating from the London Film Academy, Eva Lanska focused on producing documentary and feature films. She has directed several award-winning films recognized throughout Europe and America. Art, literature, French cinematography, and the Parisian ambiance have been significant influences and inspiration sources throughout her work.

Eva Lanska is also actively involved in child protection movements and continues to bring awareness to alarming social issues through her films.

Important Aspects To Analyze When Shopping For Car Insurance

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/5-things-to-consider-when-shopping-for-auto-insurance

Drivers looking to purchase car insurance should take some things into consideration. No one should spend the hard-earned money on something useless to them. In the case of car insurance, there is always the risk of buying an insurance product that doesn't provide enough coverage. This happens quite often to consumers who are not well-informed on how the car insurance market works.

When buying auto insurance drivers should consider the next things:

Consider shopping online. Thanks to the internet, buying auto insurance is faster and easier than ever. Most insurance providers will allow their customers to purchase car insurance while using the insurer's website. Besides that, many insurance carriers are offering a discount that can be between 5% to 10% to those drivers that choose to purchases their insurance policies online.
Talk with an insurance agent. If some terms and conditions of the insurance policy are unclear, drivers should request the help of an insurance agent. Even though the services of an insurance agent are not free, it is always better to spend some money in order to avoid making a mistake. Insurance agents can provide the needed explanations and they can also help the drivers to customize their policies.
Consider bundling policies. One of the easiest methods used to save money on car insurance is bundling. Most insurers will offer generous discounts to those customers who are bundling two or more policies. Usually, drivers are bundling the car insurance policy with the homeowner's policy at the same insurance company.
Pay in advance for the whole policy. Drivers who choose to pay a single premium in advance will be rewarded with a discount. The insurance companies are offering this discount because they are saving some administrative costs.
Make the car safer. Besides being cheaper to insure, safer cars will better protect the passengers and are less likely to be stolen. Policyholders should contact their insurers to check what safety and anti-theft devices are approved and will lower the price of car insurance.

Erin Ventures Completes Its Private Placement

VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2020 / Erin Ventures Inc. ("Erin" or the "Company") (TSXV:EV) is pleased to announce that it has completed its non-brokered private placement offering initially announced on July 7, 2020 and updated on August 20, 2020 for an aggregate amount of gross proceeds of $ $306,732.87.

Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, Erin issued 7,668,322 units ("U nits") at a price of $0.04 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company and one (1) common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will has a two (2) year term (the "Exercise Period") and will be exercisable into one (1) common share at a price of $0.05.

The Warrants also have an acceleration clause whereby if the Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") at a price equal or greater than the designated trigger price of $0.10 for more than twenty (20) consecutive trading days during the Exercise Period, Erin shall have the right to give written notice to the holder requiring the holder to exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part, within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of notice from Erin.

The Company intends to use 55% of the net proceeds from the placement to fund further development of its wholly owned Piskanja boron project in Serbia and 45% of the net proceeds from the placement for general working capital purposes (consisting of payroll 28%, suppliers 11% and contractors 61%).

The offering was conducted on a private placement basis pursuant to prospectus exemptions of applicable securities laws and remains subject to final acceptance by the TSXV. The Common Shares and Warrants comprising the Units will be subject to a four (4)-month and one day hold period in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and applicable securities laws. Four (4) arm's length finders are to be paid an aggregate amount of finders' fees equal to $10,200 in accordance with the rules of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual.

Blake Fallis, an insider of the Company, was issued 250,000 Units, pursuant to the private placement, which constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The private placement is exempt from the formal valuation approval requirements of MI 61-101 and exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as at the time the private placement was announced and closed, neither the fair market value of the private placement, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the private placement, in the aggregate or insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the private placement because the closing date of the private placement had not yet been determined and the Company deems such timeline reasonable in the circumstances to as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds of the private placement in an expeditious manner.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Blake Fallis, General Manager

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, variations in estimated costs, the failure to discover or recover economic grades of minerals, and the inability to raise the funds necessary, changes in external market factors including commodity prices, and other risks and uncertainties, including the novel coronavirus pandemic. Actual results could differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking information.
