Citius Oncology Enters into Distribution Services Agreement with Cardinal Health
Agreement supports the upcoming launch of LYMPHIR for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma CRANFORD, N.J., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Citius Oncology, Inc. ("Citius Oncology") (Nasdaq: CTOR), the oncology-focused subsidiary of Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Citius Pharma") (Nasdaq: CTXR), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing first-in-class critical care products, today announced that it has entered into a distribution services agreement with Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH), a leading provider of pharmaceutical and specialty pharmaceutical distribution services in the United States. This agreement is designed to help provide access to LYMPHIR™ (denileukin diftitox-cxdl), an innovative immunotherapy FDA-approved for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), in support of its anticipated U.S. commercial launch. "This agreement marks a key step forward in our launch readiness efforts," said Leonard Mazur, Chairman and CEO of Citius Oncology and Citius Pharmaceuticals. "Cardinal Health's proven distribution capabilities will help ensure LYMPHIR reaches healthcare providers and patients efficiently and reliably, as we work to build a robust commercial distribution network." Under the agreement, Cardinal Health will serve as an authorized distributor of record for Citius Oncology providing specialty pharmaceutical distribution services. About LYMPHIR™ (denileukin diftitox-cxdl) LYMPHIR is a targeted immune therapy for relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) indicated for use in Stage I-III disease after at least one prior systemic therapy. It is a recombinant fusion protein that combines the IL-2 receptor binding domain with diphtheria toxin fragments. The agent specifically binds to IL-2 receptors on the cell surface, causing diphtheria toxin fragments that have entered cells to inhibit protein synthesis. After uptake into the cell, the DT fragment is cleaved and the free DT fragments inhibit protein synthesis, resulting in cell death. Denileukin diftitox-cxdl demonstrated the ability to deplete immunosuppressive regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) and antitumor activity through a direct cytocidal action on IL-2R-expressing tumors. In 2021, denileukin diftitox received regulatory approval in Japan for the treatment of CTCL and PTCL. Subsequently, in 2021, Citius acquired an exclusive license with rights to develop and commercialize LYMPHIR in all markets except for Japan and certain parts of Asia. LYMPHIR was approved by the FDA in August 2024. About Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is a type of cutaneous non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that comes in a variety of forms and is the most common type of cutaneous lymphoma. In CTCL, T-cells, a type of lymphocyte that plays a role in the immune system, become cancerous and develop into skin lesions, leading to a decrease in the quality of life of patients with this disease due to severe pain and pruritus. Mycosis Fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS) comprise the majority of CTCL cases. Depending on the type of CTCL, the disease may progress slowly and can take anywhere from several years to upwards of ten to potentially reach tumor stage. However, once the disease reaches this stage, the cancer is highly malignant and can spread to the lymph nodes and internal organs, resulting in a poor prognosis. Given the duration of the disease, patients typically cycle through multiple agents to control disease progression. CTCL affects men twice as often as women and is typically first diagnosed in patients between the ages of 50 and 60 years of age. Other than allogeneic stem cell transplantation, for which only a small fraction of patients qualify, there is currently no curative therapy for advanced CTCL. INDICATION LYMPHIR is an IL2-receptor-directed cytotoxin indicated for the treatment of adult patients with r/r Stage I-III cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) after at least one prior systemic therapy. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOXED WARNING: CAPILLARY LEAK SYNDROME Capillary leak syndrome (CLS), including life-threatening or fatal reactions, can occur in patients receiving LYMPHIR. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CLS during treatment. Withhold LYMPHIR until CLS resolves, or permanently discontinue based on severity. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Capillary Leak Syndrome LYMPHIR can cause capillary leak syndrome (CLS), including life-threatening or fatal reactions. CLS was defined in the clinical trials as the occurrence of at least 2 of the following symptoms at any time during LYMPHIR therapy: hypotension, edema, and serum albumin <3 g/dL. These symptoms were not required to occur simultaneously to be characterized as capillary leak syndrome. As defined, CLS occurred in 27% of patients in the pooled population across 3 clinical trials, including 8% with Grade 3. There was one (0.8%) fatal occurrence of CLS. Of the patients with CLS, 22% had recurrence. The majority of CLS events (81%) occurred within the first 2 cycles of treatment. The median time to onset from Cycle 1, Day 1 was 6.5 days (range: 1 to 77), the median duration of CLS was 14 days (range: 2 to 40), and 75% of patients had resolution. The most common symptoms included edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hypotension. Pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and dehydration also occurred. Regularly assess patients for weight gain, new onset or worsening of edema, dyspnea, and hypotension (including orthostatic changes). Monitor serum albumin levels prior to the initiation of each cycle of therapy and more often as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue based on severity. If LYMPHIR is withheld, resume LYMPHIR following resolution of CLS and when serum albumin is greater than or equal to 3 g/dL. Visual Impairment LYMPHIR can cause serious visual impairment, including changes in visual acuity and color vision. In the pooled population across 3 clinical trials, visual impairment occurred in 9%, with Grade 1 in 8% and Grade 2 in 1%. The most commonly reported symptom was blurred vision. Of the patients with visual impairment, 67% had resolution of their visual impairment. Perform baseline ophthalmic examination and monitor as clinically indicated. If patients experience symptoms of visual impairment, such as changes in visual acuity, changes in color vision, or blurred vision, refer for ophthalmologic evaluation. Withhold LYMPHIR until visual impairment resolves or permanently discontinue based on severity. Infusion-Related Reactions LYMPHIR can cause serious infusion-related reactions. Infusion-related reactions were reported in 69% of patients in the pooled population across 3 clinical trials of patients who received LYMPHIR, with Grade 3 infusion-related reactions in 3.4% [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Eighty-three percent of infusion-related reactions occurred in Cycles 1 and 2. The most common symptoms included nausea, fatigue, chills, musculoskeletal pain, vomiting, fever, and arthralgia. Premedicate patients for the first three cycles prior to starting a LYMPHIR infusion [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Monitor patients frequently during infusion. For Grade 2 or higher infusion reactions, premedicate at least 30 minutes prior to each subsequent infusion with a systemic steroid for at least 3 cycles. Interrupt or discontinue LYMPHIR based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Institute appropriate medical management. Hepatotoxicity LYMPHIR can cause hepatotoxicity. In the pooled safety population, elevated ALT occurred in 70% of patients, with Grade 3 ALT occurring in 22%; elevated AST occurred in 64% of patients, with Grade 3 AST elevation occurring in 9%. For Grade 3 events, median time to onset was 8 days (range: 1 to 15 days); median time to resolution was 15 days (range: 7 to 50 days); all cases of Grade 3 ALT or AST elevations resolved [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Elevated total bilirubin occurred in 5% of patients, with Grade 3 occurring in 0.9%. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue LYMPHIR based on severity. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on its mechanism of action, LYMPHIR can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of LYMPHIR. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 7 days following the last dose of LYMPHIR. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (≥20%), including laboratory abnormalities, are increased transaminases, albumin decreased, nausea, edema, hemoglobin decreased, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, rash, chills, constipation, pyrexia, and capillary leak syndrome USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy Risk SummaryBased on its mechanism of action, LYMPHIR can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on the use of LYMPHIR in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with denileukin diftitox. Denileukin diftitox-cxdl causes depletion of regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg), immune activation, and capillary leak syndrome, compromising pregnancy maintenance. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Lactation Risk SummaryNo data are available regarding the presence of denileukin diftitox-cxdl in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with LYMPHIR and for 7 days after the last dose. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on its mechanism of action, LYMPHIR can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Pregnancy TestingVerify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LYMPHIR. Contraception FemalesAdvise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with LYMPHIR and for 7 days after the last dose. Infertility MalesBased on findings in rats, male fertility may be compromised by treatment with LYMPHIR. The reversibility of the effect on fertility is unknown. Pediatric UseSafety and effectiveness of LYMPHIR in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric UseOf the 69 patients with Stage I-III r/r CTCL who received LYMPHIR, 34 patients (49%) were 65 years of age and older and 10 patients (14%) were 75 years of age and older. Clinical studies of LYMPHIR did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or You may also report side effects to Citius Pharmaceuticals at 1-844-459-6744.

The Vitamin Shoppe's Health & Wellness Trend Report 2025 Highlights Five Key Growth Drivers in Functional Nutrition, Longevity Science, and Supplement Innovation
New data reveals what's shaping wellness trends today, from advancements in NAD+ and peptides for sport performance to the explosion of on-the-go protein and new supplement delivery formats SECAUCUS, N.J., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Vitamin Shoppe®, a national omni-channel specialty retailer of nutritional products, today unveiled its Health & Wellness Trend Report 2025, an in-depth, data-driven look at the evolving priorities, preferences, and behaviors shaping the wellness industry. Now in its fourth year, the report combines proprietary sales and search insights from over 635 retail locations and industry-wide data from SPINS; and analysis from a newly commissioned survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, conducted by leading market research firm Talker Research. The report reveals a modern wellness consumer who is highly engaged, informed, and innovation-driven: 69% of Americans take dietary supplements to support personal health goals, which include improving energy (49%), immunity (38%), cognitive function (37%), and bone health (35%). 66% are actively trying to consume more protein, driving growth in new on-the-go formats that prioritize taste and convenience. 35% already use AI to manage or learn about their health, for activities such as planning meals, researching health conditions, and learning about supplement routines. Another 27% are considering doing so. While social media is often credited for driving wellness trends, traditional information sources still hold significant sway: 15% cite TikTok as a source of discovery, but 30% cite friends, 29% news media, and 21% ads. Genuine trust still lies with credentialed experts—59% of respondents rate doctors as "very trustworthy," compared to only 11% for influencers. "At The Vitamin Shoppe, we're here to support every customer on their journey of lifelong wellness, whether they're just starting out or optimizing an established routine," said Sharon Leite, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe. "Our Health & Wellness Trend Report 2025 offers a clear look at the products, ingredients, and innovations shaping how people care for their health today. This annual report is both a guide for consumers navigating a fast-changing wellness landscape and a strategic resource for brands seeking to stay aligned with evolving consumer attitudes and behaviors." According to the report's findings, the Top Five Health & Wellness Trends in 2025 are: Protein Evolves into Lifestyle NutritionOnce limited mostly to powders in shaker cups, supplemental protein is now a core wellness staple in ready-to-drink beverages, bars, and snacks. At The Vitamin Shoppe, sales of RTD protein drinks rose 20% year-to-date and protein bars and snacks jumped 28%, even as protein powders pulled back 12%. Clear protein drinks (refreshing, rather than creamy), better-for-you snacks, and indulgent macro-balanced bars—like those from Barebells (up 97% YTD) and David (now the #2 bar out of 30 brands at The Vitamin Shoppe)—are helping to drive this shift. NAD+ Goes Mainstream as a Longevity EssentialFueled by social media, marketing buzz, and research breakthroughs, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) has become one of the biggest longevity and cellular health trends of the past year. Searches for NAD+ on have skyrocketed 500% this year, while the NAD+ category drove 90% of growth in the fast-expanding cellular health category (which nearly doubled in Q1). The reason? Research shows that NAD+ supplementation can improve overall cellular function, enhancing vitality and healthspan, especially in older people experiencing drops in their natural NAD+ levels. Peptides Redefine Muscle Health and RecoveryUsually associated with beauty and skincare, peptides are emerging as the next big thing in sports nutrition, due to the unique ways they support performance, recovery, and overall muscle health. Searches for peptides are up 550% on this year, fueled by innovations like PeptiStrong®—a patented, plant-based peptide complex developed using AI technology—used in top-performing launches such as AN Performance Creatine + Peptide and Force Factor Anabolic Muscle Builder. Peptides are even addressing muscle preservation for GLP-1 medication users, as in formulas from Whole Health Rx™, illustrating their on-trend, functional potential. Supplement Delivery Formats Get a Modern MakeoverConvenience and experience are driving the rise of liquids, gummies, chews, beadlets, and topicals as alternatives to traditional pills and powders. As consumers look for more enjoyable, personalized ways to consume supplements, liquid vitamins are up 50% this year at The Vitamin Shoppe, with MaryRuth's leading the charge (+90% YTD). Searches for "creatine gummies" have surged 1,300% this year, and new delivery systems like creatine beadlets from BodyTech Elite, transdermal magnesium sprays, and ashwagandha honey sticks are expanding the definition of supplementation. Shilajit Gets a Second Life with a New Generation of Wellness SeekersOnce a niche Ayurvedic remedy, shilajit is trending hard, with Q1 sales up 40% and searches up 52% YTD at The Vitamin Shoppe. The resin-like adaptogen, often sourced in the Himalayas, is rich in fulvic acid and over 80 essential minerals, winning a new generation of wellness seekers enjoying benefits across multiple use cases, such as energy, hormonal health, bone support, and cognition. Marketing-savvy brands like Better Alt and Cymbiotica are innovating beyond shilajit's old-school resin format with easy-to-use capsules, gummies, and honey sticks. "These five top trends outlined in our Health & Wellness Trend Report 2025 reflect a consumer focused on optimizing both daily performance and longer-term healthspan," said Muriel Gonzalez, President of The Vitamin Shoppe. "From the innovation of advanced compounds like peptides and NAD+, to the rising demand for convenient, on-the-go protein formats and enjoyable supplement delivery systems, we're seeing an ongoing shift toward personalized wellness choices that are rooted in scientific efficacy and modern lifestyle integration."

Aspen Neuroscience to Present at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2025 Annual Meeting
Presentation of Data from Clinical Trial of Aspen's Autologous iPSC-derived Approach for Neuronal Replacement Therapy in Parkinson's Disease SAN DIEGO, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspen Neuroscience, Inc. announced its participation in "Illuminating the Future," the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2025 Annual Meeting, to be held in Hong Kong June 11-14. Aspen Co-founder and Senior Vice President, Research and Development, Andrés Bratt-Leal, PhD will deliver a presentation, Safety, tolerability, and efficacy of transplanted autologous iPSC-derived dopaminergic precursors in moderate to advanced Parkinson's Disease. Dr. Bratt-Leal's presentation will cover data for the first four patients of the ASPIRO Study*, a Phase 1/2a trial of the company's iPSC-derived autologous cell therapy (ANPD001). The open label trial was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of intracranial implantation of autologous induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells (DANPCs) in patients with moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease. The primary objective of the ongoing study is to assess safety and tolerability of the procedure. A secondary objective is to evaluate clinical efficacy as measured by change from baseline in multiple patient-reported and clinician-reported Parkinson's disease outcome measures. Continued follow up and evaluation of a higher-dose cohort in the study are ongoing. "Early data from the first four patients show that precision intracranial delivery of DANPCs is safe and well-tolerated," reported Dr. Bratt-Leal. "Both patient-reported and clinician-reported outcomes show early signs of changes from baseline in multiple clinically meaningful outcome measures. Autologous iPSC-derived therapy as a regenerative medicine approach has the unique advantage of not requiring immunosuppressive medications." About Aspen Neuroscience Headquartered in San Diego, Aspen Neuroscience, Inc. is a clinical development-stage, private company focused on autologous regenerative medicine.
