Building on its patented QBx™ technology, Regenerex will now incorporate ovine nano-collagen into its wound healing protocols. This highly refined biomaterial, due to its ultra-small molecular size, provides an ideal scaffolding matrix to support and accelerate cellular growth, making it especially beneficial in cases requiring deeper tissue regeneration. As part of this strategic advancement, Regenerex has entered into a licensing agreement with Holista Colltech Ltd. ('Holista'), a globally recognized producer of high-purity ovine collagen.

High Noon recalls vodka seltzer cans mislabeled as energy drinks

U.S. Food and Drug Administration High Noon is recalling some of its vodka seltzer packs after finding that a few cans were incorrectly labeled as non-alcoholic energy drinks. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Wednesday that two lots of the High Noon Beach Variety 12-pack contain cans labeled as "CELSIUS® ASTRO VIBE™ Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition." But the cans still contain alcohol, not energy drink liquid. "The recall was initiated after High Noon discovered that a shared packaging supplier mistakenly shipped empty CELSIUS cans to High Noon," the FDA said. The mislabeled cans can be identified by a silver top, rather than the usual black top on Celsius drinks. No one has gotten sick or reported health problems so far, but drinking alcohol by mistake could be dangerous - especially for people avoiding alcohol due to age, health or other reasons. The recalled seltzer 12-packs were sent to distributors in: Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. Distributors shipped the product to retailers in Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. The recalled High Noon Beach Variety 12-packs have this UPC code: 085000040065. Lot codes: L CCC 17JL25 14:00 to L CCC 17JL25 23:59 L CCC 18JL25 00:00 to L CCC 18JL25 03:00 The mislabeled Celsius cans have this UPC code: 8 89392 00134 1. Lot codes (found on the bottom of the can): L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11 Customers who find they have one of the mislabeled cans should not drink it. Instead, they should throw it away and email consumerrelations@ to request a refund, the FDA said. More information Read the full recall notice at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Knight Therapeutics Announces Regulatory Supplemental Submission of MINJUVI® (tafasitamab) for Follicular Lymphoma in Brazil

MONTREAL, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Knight Therapeutics Inc., (TSX: GUD) ("Knight") a pan-American (ex-USA) specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that its Brazilian affiliate, United Medical Ltda., has submitted a supplemental application to ANVISA, the Brazilian health regulatory agency, seeking approval for an additional indication for MINJUVI® (tafasitamab) in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma (FL). The supplemental application for the additional indication was selected for review under Project Orbis. In September 2021, Knight entered into an exclusive supply and distribution agreement with Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY), for the exclusive rights to distribute tafasitamab (sold as MONJUVI® in the United States and MINJUVI® outside of the U.S.), as well as PEMAZYRE® (pemigatinib), in Latin America. In February 2024, Knight announced the launch of MINJUVI® in Brazil in combination with lenalidomide followed by MINJUVI® monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). 'This regulatory submission for a new indication for tafasitamab in relapsed or refractory FL highlights our steadfast commitment to bringing innovation and enhancing quality of life and care,' said Samira Sakhia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Knight Therapeutics. 'If approved, the combination of tafasitamab, rituximab and lenalidomide will be an important new therapeutic option for eligible adult patients with previously treated FL in Brazil. We look forward to continuing to work towards regulatory submissions in additional countries in Latin America over the next months.' About Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and inMIND Study FL is the most common indolent, or slow growing, form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).1 In Brazil, according to the 2023 data from the National Cancer Institute (INCA) Registries, the expected incidence/year of NHL (inclusive of all subtypes) was 5.57 per 100, 000 in the general population, 6.42 per 100,000 in the male population, and 5.62 per 100,000 in the female population. It is expected that follicular lymphoma constitutes 20% to 25% of adult NHL cases.2,3,4 There are limited treatment options for relapsed or refractory FL.5 The submission is based on the results from the pivotal Phase 3 inMIND trial, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomizing 548 patients with relapsed or refractory FL to receive tafasitamab or placebo with lenalidomide and rituximab. Key results from the trial demonstrated that tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and rituximab significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed or refractory FL compared to a placebo. The median PFS was 22.4 months in the treatment arm versus 13.9 months in the placebo arm, representing a 57% reduction in the risk of disease progression, relapse, or death. Secondary endpoints also showed improvements, with higher response rates and longer durations of response observed in the treatment arm.6 About MINJUVI® (tafasitamab)MINJUVI® (tafasitamab) is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19-targeting monoclonal antibody. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) and Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP). Incyte licenses exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. In the U.S., MONJUVI® (tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL). MONJUVI® is not indicated and is not recommended for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma outside of controlled clinical trials. Additionally, MONJUVI® received accelerated approval in the United States in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). In Europe, MINJUVI® (tafasitamab) received conditional Marketing Authorization from the European Medicines Agency in combination with lenalidomide, followed by MINJUVI® monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are not eligible for ASCT. XmAb® is a registered trademark of Xencor, Inc. MONJUVI, MINJUVI, the MINJUVI and MONJUVI logos and the 'triangle' design are registered trademarks of Incyte. About Knight Therapeutics Inc.
