Alzamend Neuro Partners with Massachusetts General Hospital for Phase II Trial of Next-Generation Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder

MarketJar

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) was the third leading cause of global disease burden in 2008, according to the World Health Organization, with projections that it could become the leading cause by 2030. MDD is a severe mental health condition marked by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and difficulties in daily functioning. 1 Lithium, a well-known mood stabilizer, has been used off-label for MDD, but its application is limited by safety concerns due to its narrow therapeutic window. In response to this unmet need, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is dedicated to developing innovative treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including MDD. The company's latest effort involves a promising partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001, a next-generation lithium-based therapeutic candidate aimed at improving the safety and effectiveness of lithium treatment for MDD. Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University, will lead the study. This trial aims to compare AL001's effectiveness and safety against a marketed lithium carbonate product by examining lithium levels in the brain and its structures. Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) previously completed a Phase IIA trial that identified a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for AL001. This dose is designed to provide lithium at a safe and effective level without the need for frequent monitoring, unlike current lithium treatments that are limited by chronic toxicity and poor physicochemical properties. The primary goal of this study is to determine the ideal dose of AL001 that can achieve similar or better effectiveness and safety compared to existing lithium salts. Alzamend is optimistic that the study will meet regulatory safety standards through the FDA's Section 505(b)(2) pathway, which allows for new formulations of approved drugs. Stephan Jackman, Chief Executive Officer of Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Andronesi for the pivotal study of AL001. He highlighted the potential of AL001 to be a next-generation lithium product with an improved safety profile and enhanced brain biodistribution, which could eliminate the need for routine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Jackman emphasized that developing such a product would represent a significant advancement over existing lithium-based treatments and could have a positive impact on the over 21 million Americans affected by Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Alzamend plans to share more details about the study’s timeline and market opportunities in the near future. Alzamend Neuro and Massachusetts General Hospital Launch Phase II Trials of AL001 for Bipolar Disorder and Alzheimer’s Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) is also partnering with MGH to conduct Phase II clinical trials of AL001 for patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and Alzheimer’s disease. These trials are also led by Dr. Ovidiu Andronesi, an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard University. Lithium, the first mood stabilizer approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), remains the gold standard for treating bipolar disorder (BD). With over 35 years of use, its safety profile is well established, which may reduce regulatory hurdles. This trial aims to compare the increase in brain lithium levels between AL001 and a commonly marketed lithium salt in BD patients, seeking to optimize dosing for enhanced effectiveness and safety. As for the Alzheimer’s trial, a cohort of healthy subjects will be studied to compare their plasma and brain pharmacokinetics with those of Alzheimer's patients. This trial aims to evaluate the increase in brain lithium levels and its distribution between AL001 and a commonly marketed lithium salt in both Alzheimer's patients and healthy subjects. Alzamend Neuro Secures $25 Million Funding to Advance Clinical Trials Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) recently secured the initial two tranches under a $25 million purchase agreement. This investment will drive the progress of Alzamend 's clinical trials and the development of next-generation treatments for Alzheimer’s, bipolar disorder, MDD, and PTSD. CEO Stephan Jackman highlighted the company’s commitment to achieving clinical milestones and transforming lithium-based therapies for millions of people affected by these conditions.

Indian Spiritual Leader Morari Bapu Dedicates Ram Katha at the United Nations to the Organisation for World Peace

Morari Bapu

Morari Bapu today dedicated his nine-day-long spiritual event at the United Nations Headquarters to the organization and prayed for world peace. After concluding the discourse, he walked to the General Assembly of the UN, where he placed the Ram Charita Manas (Ramayana) of Goswami Tulsidas and chanted the Vedic hymn: Om Sarve BhavantuSukhinah Sarve Santu Niraamayaah | Sarve BhadraanniPashyantu Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | (Om, May All be Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is Auspicious, May no one Suffer.) The leading light of Hindu Vedic Sanatana Dharma then chanted the name of his discourse, “VasudhaivaKutumbakam,” followed by the holy greeting of ‘Jai Siya Ram’. VasudhaivaKutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase found in Hindu sacred texts such as the Maha Upanishad, meaning "The World Is One Family." Morari Bapu held a spiritual and historic nine-day Ram Katha discourse (narration of Ramayana) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York; a first-of-its-kind event by any spiritual leader. The event took place between July 27 – August 04, 2024. The Hindu spiritual guru said that the main and special shrotas (listeners) of this discourse were the five elements – sky, water, earth, air, and fire. During the course of the week, Morari Bapu met the UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina J. Mohammed, who said, “While you had circumambulated the United Nations Headquarters building earlier, you are now at its heart.” She added that the event had bolstered efforts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Morari Bapu reciprocated the warm sentiment by communicating that his “Vyaspeetha will always be with the UNO program for world peace, world progress, and world happiness.” Many years ago, Bapu had walked around the UN Headquarters while chanting the holy name. This time, he repeatedly emphasised that world leaders must rise above petty interests and make a full effort to end wars that are on in Israel and Ukraine. Earlier on July 30, several dignitaries attended the discourse, including Commissioner of International Affairs Edward Mermelstein, Deputy Commissioner of International Affairs Dilip Chauhan from the NYC Mayor’s Office for International Affairs along with Deputy Commissioner and Chief of Staff Aissata Camara.The NYC Mayor’s Office also extended the highest honour to Morari Bapu’s Vyaspeetha. Consul General of India in New York Binaya Srikanta Pradhan and Surendra K. Adhana, Counsellor & Head of Chancery at the Permanent Mission of India to the UN, were also esteemed guests. The spiritual leader’s teachings aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. He cited examples from the Ram Charita Manas to explore how these SDG themes were elaborated and advocated in the sacred text. On the concluding day, Morari Bapu related the characteristics of Ram Rajya, or the rule of the ideal king Lord Ram, and how these too exemplified a model code of life that matched the principles of the United Nations. About Morari Bapu Morari Bapu, a renowned exponent of the Ramayana, has been reciting Ram Kathas for over sixty-five years. He draws from Vedic Sanatana Dharma, popularly known as Hindu Sanatana Dharma. His narrations are celebrated worldwide for their emphasis on universal peace and messages of truth, love, and compassion. Bapu’s unique approach draws upon examples from various religions, inviting people of all faiths to partake in the spiritual journey. Morari Bapu began his remarkable journey of reciting the Ram Charita Manas, a revered version of the Ramayana by Goswami Tulsidas, at the age of fourteen in front of a small village audience. Over the decades, he has held Ram Kathas in numerous cities and pilgrimage sites across India and around the world, including Kailash, Bhusundi Sarovar, Rakshas Taal, and the 12 Jyotirlingas which he covered on the train. He also conducted kathas globally in countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia, South Africa, Kenya, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Australia, Israel, and Japan, attracting millions of followers. Beyond traditional venues, Bapu has also conducted Ram Kathas for marginalized communities, including sex workers and transgender individuals. He is actively involved in extensive humanitarian efforts including during the period of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Mothers' Milk Bank California Launches Cares Program and Marks 50 Years of Service

The Mothers' Milk Bank

Mothers' Milk Bank California (MMB California), the oldest continuously operating independent nonprofit milk bank in the United States, celebrates a significant milestone of half a century dedicated to serving infants and families in need across the country. MMB has updated the name of the organization to include 'California' to honor its roots in the state. Central to MMB California's legacy is a network of more than 30 nonprofit mothers’ milk banks across the United States and in Mexico that have followed the model MMB California established 50 years ago. Since 1974, Mothers’ Milk Bank California has distributed 16 million ounces of human donor milk to some of the country’s most at-risk babies. That’s equivalent to filling 7 swimming pools with liquid gold. Our community of milk donors at MMB California is nearly 25,000 strong, supporting thousands of families in their times of need. The organization collaborates with a growing number of hospitals nationwide to provide safe, lifesaving nourishment to their tiniest patients. MMB California advances the milk banking industry through partnerships, research support, and advocacy for stringent health and safety guidelines. “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey of saving lives and supporting families. Our new MMB California Cares Program is a testament to our commitment to quality, efficiency, equity, and education. We are excited to continue our mission and expand our reach to ensure that every baby in need has access to safe donor milk,” said Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, Chief Executive Officer of Mothers' Milk Bank California. Today, MMB California announced the launch of their 50th anniversary, MMB California Cares Program, along with their vision for the next 50 years. This initiative aims to build and strengthen the Milk Donor Community, highlighting the ongoing dedication to: Quality Assurance and Compliance: Upholding rigorous standards for processing and distributing donor human milk to ensure safety and efficacy. Efficiency and Excellence: Streamlining operations to maximize the impact of milk donations across our expanding network. Equity and Access Initiatives: Increasing access to donor human milk for all families in California and beyond. Education and Outreach Campaigns: Launching comprehensive programs to raise awareness about the life-saving benefits of donor human milk and foster community among donors and recipients. Alongside these initiatives, Mothers' Milk Bank California has unveiled a newly redesigned website. Featuring enhanced navigation and user-friendly interfaces, the site provides resources for donors, healthcare providers, and families seeking support.
