FDA Grants De Novo Marketing Authorization to Apollo Endosurgery for Apollo ESG and Apollo REVISE, New Endoscopic Systems for Patients with Obesity ACN Newswire

FDA Grants De Novo Marketing Authorization to Apollo Endosurgery for Apollo ESG and Apollo REVISE, New Endoscopic Systems for Patients with Obesity

13 7 月, 2022
AUSTIN, TX, Jul 13, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. ("Apollo") (NASDAQ:APEN), a global leader in minimally invasive medical devices for gastrointestinal and bariatric procedures, announced today the marketing authorization of the Apollo ESG(TM), Apollo ESG Sx(TM), Apollo REVISE(TM) and Apollo REVISE Sx(TM) Systems through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) De Novo Classification process, a rigorous pre-market review pathway for low-to moderate-risk devices without a predicate. These are the first and only devices authorized by the FDA for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and endoscopic bariatric revision.ESG is an incisionless procedure that utilizes an endoscopic suturing system to reduce the volume of a person's stomach and delay emptying of the stomach, resulting in clinically meaningful, durable weight loss. In a randomized controlled trial, the ESG procedure demonstrated safety and effectiveness with durability out to two years.[1] The results from this trial add to a larger body of evidence reporting outcomes in over 10,000 patients receiving ESG. ESG can be performed as a same-day procedure without incisions or scars, and patients typically return to work within a few days.Bariatric revision procedures are the fastest growing segment of the bariatric surgery market.[2] Studies have shown that after ten years, patients who underwent gastric bypass have regained an average of 20-30% of the weight they initially lost.[3] Transoral outlet reduction (TORe) is an endoscopic procedure performed to revise a previous gastric bypass and like ESG, can be performed as a same-day procedure without incisions or scars."The Apollo ESG and Apollo REVISE systems offer a compelling mix of effectiveness, safety, durability, and convenience for treatment of patients with obesity," said Chas McKhann, President and CEO of Apollo. "The authorization of these new endoscopic systems represents a major step forward in addressing the global obesity epidemic."Obesity, defined as BMI >30 kg/m2, is a complex, chronic disease that affects 650 million adults globally.[4] In the US, 108 million adults and 42% of the population suffer from obesity[5], which is expected to increase in prevalence by 33% in the coming decades.[6] Obesity contributes to an estimated $147-210 billion in annual healthcare expenditures and is associated with many comorbid conditions.[7] Obesity is considered a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes; the CDC cites that 62% of people with diabetes are obese.[5] Obesity is also a risk factor for heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease, osteoarthritis, and many types of cancer.[7] The primary treatment for obesity is weight loss, though currently, less than 0.2% of adults with obesity are treated surgically for obesity, leaving a substantial unmet need.[2],[8]Apollo ESG and Apollo REVISE join Apollo's growing portfolio of endoscopic solutions for weight loss in patients with obesity. The Apollo ESG and Apollo ESG Sx Systems are intended to be used by trained gastroenterologists or surgeons to facilitate weight loss in adults with obesity with Body Mass Index (BMI) between 30-50 kg/m2 who have not been able to lose weight or maintain weight loss through more conservative measures. The Apollo REVISE and Apollo REVISE Sx Systems are intended to be used by trained gastroenterologists or surgeons that perform bariatric procedures to facilitate weight loss in adult patients with obesity with BMI between 30-50 kg/m2 by enabling transoral outlet reduction (TORe) as a revision to a previous bariatric procedure. The systems are used with a dual channel endoscope (Apollo ESG and Apollo REVISE) or single channel endoscope (Apollo ESG Sx and Apollo REVISE Sx).For more information regarding the De Novo marketing authorization of these systems, visit www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/denovo.cfm, which may be updated to reflect this decision at a future date.About Apollo Endosurgery, Inc.Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on development of next-generation, minimally invasive devices to advance therapeutic endoscopy designed to treat a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, including closure of gastrointestinal defects, managing gastrointestinal complications, and weight loss as a treatment of obesity.

AIBP: How Technology Contributes to Economical Gaps in Southeast Asia

13 7 月, 2022
Singapore, Jul 13, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Nearly half of ASEAN based respondents perceived legacy IT infrastructure and systems to be a challenge to digital transformation (DX) and innovation projects within their own company, according to a survey conducted by AIBP in 2021. The survey counted 206 professionals in the public services sector across the largest economies in Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines & Vietnam. The same survey showed that 60.6% of respondents believe that business intelligence software is the DX solution that brings the largest benefits to their organisation. Sustainability has also been a growing focus in ASEAN, illustrated by the sustainable mobility and energy targets of ASEAN. The Phnom Penh Declaration on Sustainable Urban Mobility is the first Declaration on sustainable transport issued by the ASEAN Transport Ministers focusing on urban and metropolitan regional mobility. The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation demonstrates the region's commitment to achieving the targets on renewable energy share 23% in total primary energy supply, as well as the 35% share in installed power capacity by 2025. The need for education is underlined as well from a 2021 AIBP survey, where the lack of talent and expertise was ranked as the most significant impediment to digital transformation in ASEAN. In advancing these public interests, tech-powered innovation has and will continue to be key.Tech-powered innovation has continued to be key in advancing public interests such as mobility, sustainable energy and education.Taiwanese Companies Contributing to ASEAN Societies Mobility:With transport mobility being integral to driving economic and social growth, importance is placed on developing innovations in this area and several companies have stepped up to take the lead. PLANET Technology Corporation has solved key issues pervading public transport networks with their Industrial LoRaWAN Wireless Gateway solution. It facilitates data transmission over long-range distances at low power consumption across urban and rural areas, and supports real-time data collection, enabling vehicle detection and location tracking. This contributed to smart parking solutions and allowed commuters to easily check bus timings, improving the overall public transport system. Up-and-coming alternative mobility solutions are getting increased attention as well. Advancements made in vehicle electrification have contributed to the lowering cost of electric vehicles (EV). Coupled with an increasing focus on sustainability in ASEAN, EV adoption and the development of an EV ecosystem are growing. Zealio is one of the key players in the EV interior space. Guided by a user-centric approach, Zealio sought to develop EV components that are easy to install, have zero-interference with other vehicle electronics, are energy efficient and recyclable. Sustainable Energy:Environmental concerns are increasing in ASEAN. Stakeholders in the energy industry are seeking to pivot to a green energy approach and Advantech is at the forefront of this change. Advantech has observed that power plant and grid owners are most concerned about data accuracy, operational efficiency and asset management. To address these needs, the company has developed a smart energy management solution that includes pre-built related analytics. In helping Singapore's National Water Agency (PUB) with the monitoring and tracking of their Floating Solar PV System, Advantech partnered with Mirai Electronics to build an IoT framework that gathers critical equipment and environmental data that is sent to the cloud, various dashboard views including green parameters to facilitate data analytics and visualisation, and a system that enables proactive monitoring and response to tough environmental conditions. Need for Skill Development through Tech-Enabled Education:A 2021 survey conducted by AIBP showed that 39.4% of public services stakeholders believe people are the principal challenge to becoming data driven. As technology continues to play a key role in innovation efforts, workforce skill levels need to keep up and education is integral to nurturing that talent. Enterprises have recognised this need and are providing tech-enhanced solutions to complement traditional educational methods. In pursuit of closing the gap, one successful project was delivered by CYP's Pro AV solutions. CYP integrated their AV solutions together with learning tools such as document cameras, interactive white boards and audio visual devices providing a solution for Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU)'s remote learning programmes. This has enabled the concept of smart classroom, which aims to deliver high-quality classes during distance learning and video conferencing, and let teachers engage both in-class and remote students.

Novotech Client SK bioscience Achieves SKYCovione(TM) COVID-19 Vaccine Approval in Korea

13 7 月, 2022
SEOUL, S.KOREA, Jul 13, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO which has recently expanded its services to the US, congratulates its client SK bioscience on the recent COVID-19 vaccine licence approval.SK bioscience and GSK recently announced the successful authorization:SK bioscience announced that 'SKYCovione(TM),' South Korea's first COVID-19 vaccine candidate adjuvanted with GSK's pandemic adjuvant has been authorized by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS). South Korea has become one of the few countries in the world to have both a domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine and a treatment.SKYCovione(TM) is a self-assembled nanoparticle vaccine targeting the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein for the parental SARS-Cov-2, jointly developed with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) at the University of Washington School of Medicine with combination of GSK's pandemic adjuvant. The development of SKYCovione(TM) has been supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). The results of the Phase III clinical trial, collected in 4,037 adults over 18-year-old, showed that SKYCovione(TM) induced neutralizing antibody responses, against the SARS-CoV-2 parental strain. The neutralizing antibody titres increased about 33 times compared to before the injection and were 3 times that of AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria(TM), the control vaccine used in the study, 2 weeks after the second dose.The clinical trial was conducted in cooperation with 16 institutions, including Korea University Guro Hospital and IVI (International Vaccine Institute), a non-profit international organization.SK bioscience will apply for authorizations at other selected regulatory agencies for distribution of SKYCovione(TM), including through the COVAX Facility and for emergency use listing (EUL) to the World Health Organization (WHO).SKYCovione(TM) is based on recombinant protein vaccine technology which has been used for development of current vaccines including influenza, hepatitis B, and HPV. SKYCovione(TM) can be stored in normal refrigeration conditions from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, so it is particularly suitable for use in low-income settings without the need for ultra-cold chain facilities.The market expects that SKYCovione(TM) will accelerate securing of Korea's vaccine sovereignty and reducing dependence on vaccine imports.Jaeyong Ahn, CEO of SK bioscience said, "The development of Korea's first COVID-19 vaccine was achieved based on the efforts of the government and members who have been working hard all day and night. We will continue to work with various global organizations based on our own research and manufacturing technologies to preemptively respond to new pandemics."See full press release here https://www.skbioscience.co.kr/en/news/news_01_01?mode=view&id=132&Dr. John Moller, CEO Novotech said, "As the lead CRO managing the Phase lll study in six APAC countries, the entire team at Novotech congratulates SK bioscience for such an outstanding clinical success and subsequent licence approval.

Strong ESG implementation gets Pertamina international recognition

13 7 月, 2022
JAKARTA, Jul 13, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - State-owned oil and natural gas corporation PT Pertamina has gained recognition from several international institutions over its strong implementation of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) approach this year.Strong implementation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) approach by Indonesian state-owned oil and natural gas corporation PT Pertamina this year gained recognition from a number of international institutions. (ANTARA/HO-PT Pertamina)Pertamina's ESG implementation, which is getting stronger, has attracted international interest, as seen from the acknowledgment from a number of institutions and international awards, the company stated in a release received here on Tuesday.The latest acknowledgment has come from JP Morgan, which included Pertamina in its ESG Emerging Market Bond Instrument (JESG EMBI) Index and assigned it a score of 44.2 in June 2022. The score is higher than the threshold of 20 set by JESG EMBI.It shows that Pertamina has succeeded in improving its business, especially in terms of environmental insight, sustainability, and aspects of good governance, the company said."With this recognition, Pertamina has the opportunity to access wider funding in the market, including more competitive interest rates," it added.Pertamina's position has also become more recognized globally as a motor that drives sustainability in Indonesia, especially since the country has also committed to implementing the Paris Agreement on reducing carbon emissions."In line with Pertamina's vision to become a sustainable global energy company, we continue to improve the company's ESG aspects in accordance with international sustainability practices so that our initiatives are in accordance with ESG standards," said Emma Sri Martini, Pertamina's finance director who is also a committee member of Pertamina Sustainability.Pertamina has undertaken several measures in its sustainability efforts, including contributing to reducing carbon emissions, maintaining biodiversity, and implementing good corporate governance (GCG).Further, Pertamina succeeded in reducing 7.4 million tons of carbon equivalent, or around 29 percent, by 2021 from the 2010 baseline.Meanwhile, to maintain biodiversity, the company, in the past five years, has carried out conservation efforts for around 30 endemic animal species and around 24 plant species, most of which have become nearly extinct.Regarding the implementation of GCG, Pertamina earlier this year won the Anti-Bribery Management System certification, which signifies the company's commitment to implementing accountable work practices.Apart from its inclusion on the JP Morgan Index, Pertamina also received a number of awards for sustainability efforts.In June 2022, Pertamina and its affiliate, Pertamina Hulu Rokan, won the Indonesian Sustainability Business Award (SBA) in the "Highly Recommended" category.The SBA is given to companies that are considered to have a very strong sustainability commitment and demonstrate consistent efforts in various sustainability areas as well as have a good road map for sustainability implementation.SBA Indonesia has been instituted by Global Initiatives, an international company based in Singapore that is concerned with sustainability issues. Global Initiatives organizes the award program with some local partners, namely PwC Indonesia, the Indonesian Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD), Control Union, and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin).The award is also held in several other countries besides Indonesia, namely Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.Earlier, Pertamina had also received an ESG score of 28.1 from Sustainalytics in 2021, which reflected a moderate level of risk, on par with other companies such as Spanish energy company Repsol and Italian oil industry company ENI.In addition, the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) also placed Pertamina 49th out of 100 oil and gas companies in the WBA Climate & Energy topic."We also encourage all Pertamina sub-holdings and affiliates to improve the implementation of ESG aspects, so that the company's operational and business programs can further implement some applicable rules according to ESG best practices," Martini said.Launched in 2018, the WBA seeks to generate a movement around increasing the private sector's impact on efforts to build a sustainable future for all.Contact: Fajriyah Usman, VP Corporate Communications, PT Pertamina (Persero)M: +62 858 8330 8686, Email: fajriyah.usman@pertamina.com, URL: https://www.pertamina.comWritten by: Yuni Arisandy Sinaga, Editor: Rahmad Nasution (c) ANTARA 2022 Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.
