About AVTX-009
AVTX-009 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG4) that binds to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) with high affinity and neutralizes its activity. IL-1β is a central driver in the inflammatory process. Overproduction or dysregulation of IL-1β is implicated in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. IL-1β is a major, validated target for therapeutic intervention. There is evidence that inhibition of IL-1β could be effective in hidradenitis suppurativa and a variety of inflammatory diseases in dermatology, gastroenterology, and rheumatology.

Nevada health bill advances to Gov. Lombardo's desk
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Health bill SB 217 advanced in the Nevada legislature last week and is now on Governor Lombardo's desk awaiting his signature. The bill includes coverage for treatments like IVF, as well as fertility preservation for those who have been diagnosed with extreme illness. 'I had arthritis for most of my life. That drug that I was on, while helpful to my arthritis, was severely damaging to my egg reserves,' shared Stephanie Capellas-Glascock, who has been struggling with her infertility journey for years. 'I knew that it wasn't going to be something that I could accomplish on my own, so therefore I needed to look into fertility treatments for myself,' she explained. If signed, Nevada could become the first state in the nation to offer fertility coverage for Medicaid. However, the bill does face pushback for its cost and certain language in it. 'One of my concerns, just looking at it, so I may reserve my right to change my vote, is just the financial impact on our public employee benefit program that can go down to increasing premiums,' said Democratic Assembly Member Shea Backus, who did vote in favor. Meanwhile, the Nevada GOP party called on the governor to veto the bill. Their website cited their opposition because it 'declares embryos prior to implantation as non-human.' 'I don't think fertility treatments are a political issue. I think it's a health and medical issue,' Capellas-Glascock responded when asked about the opposition. 'We know that the GOP has some thoughts and feelings on that too, but I think the tremendous thing about IVF is that it is a miracle in medicine and science that really affords individuals the option to have a family, so when they're ready to start a family, they have that option.' When asked about the fiscal implications, she responded, 'There's always a cost associated. I think it's knowing that the pros supremely outweigh the cons.' The state estimated the cost would be about $38 million over the next two years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) is favoured by institutional owners who hold 55% of the company
Significantly high institutional ownership implies BHP Group's stock price is sensitive to their trading actions A total of 25 investors have a majority stake in the company with 48% ownership Recent purchases by insiders Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Every investor in BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 55% ownership. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Since institutional have access to huge amounts of capital, their market moves tend to receive a lot of scrutiny by retail or individual investors. As a result, a sizeable amount of institutional money invested in a firm is generally viewed as a positive attribute. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of BHP Group. See our latest analysis for BHP Group Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. BHP Group already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of BHP Group, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions. Hedge funds don't have many shares in BHP Group. The company's largest shareholder is State Street Global Advisors, Inc., with ownership of 7.1%. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 6.0% and 5.7% of the stock. Our studies suggest that the top 25 shareholders collectively control less than half of the company's shares, meaning that the company's shares are widely disseminated and there is no dominant shareholder. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of BHP Group Limited. However, it's possible that insiders might have an indirect interest through a more complex structure. Being so large, we would not expect insiders to own a large proportion of the stock. Collectively, they own AU$60m of stock. In this sort of situation, it can be more interesting to see if those insiders have been buying or selling. The general public-- including retail investors -- own 40% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand BHP Group better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for BHP Group (1 is significant!) that you should be aware of before investing here. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do.
