Midatech receives Orphan Drug Designation for MTD119 from the European Medicines Agency

 

Midatech (AIM: MTPH, Nasdaq: MTP), the international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercialising products in oncology, today announces that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for its advanced liver cancer drug candidate MTD119.

 

MTD119 (previously MTR104) is a treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a rare, aggressive cancer that affects the liver. There are very few treatments for HCC, particularly for patients with an advanced form of the disease, and fewer than ten per cent of patients with HCC currently survive beyond five years of diagnosis. MTD119 is a combination of Midatech's gold nanoparticle (GNP) technology with the potent anti-tubulin chemotherapeutic maytansine, in which the GNP is designed to improve the biodistribution and targeted delivery of the maytansine agent to the tumour site.

 

The ODD programme provides orphan status to drugs intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases or disorders that affect fewer than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU. Sponsors who obtain ODD benefit from development assistance and are eligible for 10 years of market exclusivity once the medicine is on the market.

 

A recent pre-clinical study comparing the efficacy of MTD119 with sorafenib, the current standard of care, shows a greater response rate and suggests the potential for an improved efficacy profile for MTD119.

 

The global HCC market is estimated to be worth around $1bn by 2024 however, due to the limited efficacy and high toxicity of existing treatments, we believe there is scope to significantly expand this market.

 

This programme is currently being prepared for clinical trials MTD119 has commenced formal investigational new drug (IND) application enabling toxicology studies, with completion of the pilot studies expected in H1 2018.  This will be followed by assessment and full toxicology with an expected IND submission to the US Food and Drug Administration for first in human studies in H2 2018 – H1 2019.

 

Commenting on the news, Dr Jim Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Midatech Pharma, said: "We are pleased that the EMA has granted MTD119 Orphan Drug Designation to treat patients with liver cancer. Not only does this represent an important regulatory milestone for Midatech, but the decision means Midatech will receive financial and developmental support, as well as marketing exclusivity following approval of the drug. Our focus now is on advancing the development of MTD119 as fast as possible while also continuing to work on our exciting pipeline of oncology and immunotherapy assets, which contains several potentially significant and value-driving inflection points in 2018."

1pm plc

(the "Group" or the "Company")

 

1PM SECURES INTERNATIONAL PEER-TO-PEER FINTECH FUNDING CAPABILITY

Gains access to the Mintos marketplace, a leading online marketplace

for financing business loans via global retail investors;

Becomes first UK based loan originator to join Mintos;

 

1pm plc, the AIM listed independent specialist, non-bank provider of finance facilities to the UK SME sector is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Cooperation Agreement with 'AS Mintos Marketplace' ("Mintos") to be a loan originator on its market-leading online marketplace for loans.

 

Mintos is a global online marketplace for loans where retail investors can participate in many different types of loans originated by non-bank loan providers. Through Mintos, 1pm will reap the benefits of the peer-to-peer lending model in financing loans that have traditionally been funded on its own balance sheet.

 

1pm is the first loan originator from the UK to access the Mintos marketplace and joins approximately 30 other loan originators globally. By becoming a loan originator on the marketplace, 1pm is able to harness the resources of the fully developed fintech capability and to instantly reach approximately 50,000 registered retail investors across the globe for the first time, thus also creating an important new funding channel.

 

The leverage created by this new funding source will allow 1pm to increase the number of loans written through its loans division without taking on significant additional risk of default. Up to 90% of each loan originated and made available on the Mintos marketplace will be assigned to investors on a non-recourse basis. Access to the Mintos marketplace therefore creates greater lending flexibility and more growth potential than a solely balance sheet approach to lending. All business loans assigned by 1pm will be in sterling. The Cooperation Agreement starts with an initial six-month trial period.

 

Mintos' mission is to facilitate free and efficient movement of capital and since launching in 2015, it has become the world's largest marketplace of its kind (www.mintos.com).

 

Commenting on this latest initiative, Ian Smith, CEO, said:

 

"An important part of our strategic growth plan is to harness the benefits of financial technology. By joining the Mintos marketplace, we will now be able to accelerate our loans business origination without increasing risk and to access retail investors globally and efficiently, a funding source that would be unavailable to us without this digital capability".

Falcon Media House Limited

26 February 2018

 

                                                                                                               

 

Falcon Media House Expands Live Streaming to India in Deal with JPR Network

 

·     Landmark agreement shows Indian cable operator JPR Network diversifying to deliver TV via mobile

·     On-demand streaming enables subscriber growth at fraction of the cost of cable or satellite

·     Deal marks Falcon's expansion into India, after concluding agreements in Nigeria, South Africa, Canada and Mongolia

 

26th February 2018 (London, Mumbai) – Falcon Media House Plc, the London Stock Exchange-listed digital technology and media group, today announces that it has agreed to provide live and on demand digital streaming technology to JPR Network, the Mumbai-based cable network provider.

 

The deal extends Falcon's global footprint to India, the world's fastest growing market for mobile subscribers, following agreements in Nigeria, South Africa, Canada and Mongolia. JPR Network benefits from a partnership in which Falcon provides subsidiary Quiptel's patented Q-Flow open Internet streaming technology, also known as over-the-top (OTT), and Mumbai-based Media Nucleus provides systems integration.

 

"We're looking forward to delivering the first of many such systems as OTT platforms represent the future of broadcasting," comments Falcon Media House Executive Chairman, Gert Rieder. "Local networks and mobile services in India, Africa and Southeast Asia are not always reliable enough to provide high quality streaming experiences – which is where the Quiptel technology makes a big difference."

 

Going beyond traditional network limitations, Q-Flow overcomes the challenges of congested and slow connections to deliver content to the end consumer using the most efficient and cost-effective route, resulting in seamless streaming over even the most challenging networks and mobile conditions. Rather than investing in hardware and laying new network cables, Q-Flow enables broadcasters and cable companies to increase customers with a lower capital expenditure, creating a unique win: win solution for both the OTT operator and their end users alike.

 

The solution is particularly applicable to India, where the number of mobile subscribers is projected to soar by 310 million between 2016 and 2020, almost double the increase in China and beating every other country worldwide, according to GSMA Intelligence.

 

TV network providers like JPR Network are taking advantage by offering content through OTT at a fraction of the infrastructure set-up cost for traditional cable, typically in the region of US$ 600-1,000 per home. Q-Flow additionally enables JPR Network to increase penetration with its existing 150,000-plus subscribers by streaming content to their mobiles and other devices, while also extending reach beyond its physical geography of Mumbai or even India. Under its agreement with the Falcon and Media Nucleus partnership, JPR Network will pay an undisclosed base plus a fee per subscriber.

 

The partnership between Falcon and Media Nucleus targets medium and large size broadcasters with a potential reach of 250 million users in India and the partners have already identified over 200 such companies across the region. Beyond India, Media Nucleus also provides innovative broadcast and Pay TV services to clients ranging from Fox Movies in the Middle East to Zuku in East Africa and now they have added the Falcon OTT solution to their portfolio.

 

Falcon Media House Executive Chairman, Gert Rieder:

 "Having a presence in India is key for success and with our strategic partner Media Nucleus we can provide local support and implementation to enable a timely cost-effective solution to other MSOs looking to provide value added services to their existing subscribers. Media Nucleus has a huge established customer base including many of the leading broadcast companies in India. Together we already have an immediate pipeline of MSOs who represent over 2 million subscribers and we are looking forward to enabling them to deliver a world class OTT service using Q-Flow that will help them to grow in a cost-efficient manner, avoiding the huge costs of building infrastructure."

Santosh Nair, Co-Founder and Director Media Nucleus:

"Media Nucleus is at the heart of India's burgeoning technology industry and has over 3 decades of Software experience in the DVB sector with a deep knowledge-base, benchmarked by Industry experts in handshake technology protocols, enabling integrated multi product platform deployments.

 

With a seamless and robust single platform window, Quiptels unique architecture enables service and content providers alike to transparently adhere to all Audit authority statutory requirements".

 

"The explosion of the smartphone market, and with it the increase in demand for streaming video content, requires a robust and reliable OTT service both inside and outside the home. For today's customers it's essential that the quality of experience can be relied upon. Falcon Media House represents the future of the industry, with Quiptel's revolutionary Q-Flow technology and a deep understanding of global consumer needs. The combined strength of both companies' products offers a tailored solution to the MSOs and we look forward to announcing more wins in the very near future."

Launch of myLotus app in China

 

Concepta plc (AIM: CPT), the UK healthcare company and developer of a proprietary product targeted at the mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Beijing Jiayou Ltd, ("AppInChina") to manage the distribution of its new myLotus app on Android systems throughout China.

 

The free app, which allows women to monitor and track fertility, can be used either as an individual fertility tracker or in conjunction with the myLotus monitor.

 

Through AppInChina, Concepta will focus on distribution of the app through the top 5 Chinese Android app stores, which between them have a market share of around 75.7%* of the Android app market. This includes Tencent's Myapp, the leading Chinese app store, which holds a 25.1%* market share of the Android app distribution coverage in China.

 

In addition, the myLotus app is also currently available on the Chinese iOS app store, which has a 13% smartphone market share in China.

 

Erik Henau, CEO of Concepta commented: "The myLotus app is an extremely useful resource for women trying to conceive. Not only is it effective as a stand-alone resource, but in conjunction with our myLotus meter, it is a powerful tool to allow women with unexplained infertility to conceive naturally. It enables women who are struggling to conceive to monitor their ovulation cycle more effectively than standard home testing kits. The combination of both the app and the myLotus meter will enhance the consumer experience and the product proposition, as well as increasing awareness of the product."

 

"As the only app with a direct link to qualitative and quantitative results of a woman's personal hormone levels, it provides women with a platform to build an accurate conception diary, which will assist them and their partner during the process of conception."

About Concepta Plc:

Concepta plc is an AIM-quoted pioneering UK healthcare company that has developed a proprietary product, myLotus, targeted at the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on unexplained infertility* in women.

 

myLotus is currently the only consumer product which allows both quantitative and qualitative measurements of a woman's personal LH and hCG* hormone levels in a home test, facilitating higher conception rates and early diagnosis of issues with fertility hormones. The proposition of myLotus is to help women conceive naturally.

Concepta has made significant progress recently, establishing agreements with a number of distributors in China where myLotus has been given cFDA approval. Concepta is initially targeting the traditional route to market in China through Chinese hospitals and plans to add the direct-to-consumer route in the near future.

 

The Company is also well on its way to achieving CE-marking and commencing its direct-to-consumer launch in the UK and Europe in H1 2018. The Company has identified a significant global market opportunity, with revenue potential of the Chinese and EU unexplained infertility market estimated to be worth c.£600m per annum.

 

*Unexplained infertility refers to women that have been unable to conceive after 6 months of trying. This highly motivated target group of consumers won't typically be offered medical intervention until 12 months of unsuccessfully trying, with IVF not offered until two years. Research indicates couples start to take positive action ahead of this time and there is little medical support to help them do so.
