Equity Insider News Commentary Issued on behalf of Avant Technologies Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is here to stay, and adoption is accelerating. According to research from PYMNTS Intelligence which polled C-suite executives at healthcare companies generating at least $1 billion in annual revenue, 90% already see positive ROI from investments in generative AI (GenAI). Analysts are projecting that by 2035 the gross value added by AI to the healthcare industry will be $461 billion on top of a baseline $2.26 trillion. Behind the scenes, several new AI healthcare tech developments are taking place, with updates recently coming from Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: TVGN), GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GEHC), and Schrödinger, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDGR). At the regulatory level, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced a major global initiative to set unified standards for AI in healthcare, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working to catch up on approving new AI tech in the sector, with the latest being a cardioverter defibrillator. Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), an emerging leader in AI-driven healthcare innovation, continues to accelerate its push into AI-powered healthcare diagnostics through its joint venture with Ainnova Tech, operating through Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), a jointly controlled entity that holds global licensing rights to VisionAI and its supporting hardware. The two companies recently announced that the FDA has officially received their request for a pre-submission meeting for VisionAI, the joint venture's flagship screening platform. This marked a pivotal moment in Avant's trajectory. VisionAI uses a combination of retinal imaging, patient vitals, and advanced algorithms to identify early warning signs of diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, liver fibrosis, kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes—often before symptoms are visible. Studies show that AI tools can detect diabetic retinopathy and other chronic conditions with sensitivities exceeding 90%, often identifying issues before symptoms appear—according to NIH. "This milestone reflects our two-tiered strategy, rapid deployment in low-regulation markets where VisionAI operates as a screening tool, and simultaneous progress toward FDA clearance for the U.S. market," said Vinicio Vargas, CEO at Ainnova and a member of AAC's Board of Directors. "Entering the U.S. will unlock significant commercial potential, and early engagement with regulators ensures we do so with speed, credibility, and a validated product." The upcoming FDA meeting will help finalize the clinical trial design and confirm the regulatory pathway for a 510(k) submission in the U.S., setting the stage for broader deployment. What sets AVAI apart from many AI-in-healthcare names is that its technology is already in the field. VisionAI has been rolled out through commercial pilot programs across Latin America, including Chile, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Brazil. These early deployments are generating real-world data while demonstrating how early diagnostics can reduce system-wide costs and improve outcomes in primary care environments. In recent months, AAC expanded its portfolio with four newly licensed diagnostic algorithms from one of Asia's largest healthcare networks, validated on more than 2.3 million clinical cases. These models are now integrated into VisionAI to enhance its detection capabilities across multiple chronic disease categories. On the clinical development front, Avant's partner Ainnova has brought on global contract research organization Fortrea to help guide its FDA strategy. With both emerging-market traction and U.S. regulatory progress advancing in parallel, the company appears to be executing on a dual-pronged strategy: building early market access where regulatory barriers are lower, while preparing for the commercial scale and reimbursement potential of the U.S. healthcare system. For investors tracking small-cap companies operating at the intersection of AI, diagnostics, and chronic disease management, Avant Technologies may be worth a closer look. As the FDA process moves forward and pilot programs scale, AVAI sits in a rare position—commercially active, globally licensed, and now formally in dialogue with U.S. regulators. Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM) recently expanded its support for phase I clinical trials by launching the TIME Precision Network, a group of investigators across over 40 research centers focused on rapid activation and enrollment. "The integration of phase I clinical trial sites adds a critical capability to the TIME Network,"said Ezra Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Oncology at Tempus. "We are now able to activate and efficiently execute these early studies that are fundamental to drug development and such a valuable offering to patients. The reality is that these studies require specific and coordinated infrastructure to be successful, and I am proud that Tempus can now work with these sites and our life science partners to enroll patients into these cutting-edge clinical trials." Recent examples include first-patient-in enrollments within weeks at multiple cancer centers, showcasing the network's efficiency in matching patients to studies. By integrating community oncology sites and streamlining site activation, Tempus is lowering access barriers to early-stage trials across underserved regions. Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: TVGN) is advancing its AI-driven precision medicine capabilities through a new partnership with Databricks, focused on accelerating the development of its PredicTcell platform. The collaboration will enhance Tevogen's ability to model immunologically active peptide complexes and predict T cell receptor (TCR) engagement. This builds on the company's ExacTcell™ platform and complements other strategic alliances under the Tevogen.AI umbrella, including support from Microsoft Research. Together, these efforts aim to integrate clinical immunology with cutting-edge AI to fast-track the discovery and development of next-generation T cell therapies. GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GEHC) is deepening its commitment to AI-driven oncology solutions with the launch of MR Contour DL, a new FDA-cleared model for organ segmentation in radiation therapy planning. "We're committed to advancing MR imaging capabilities in radiation therapy to deliver more accurate and precise care," said Kelly Londy, President and CEO, MR, GE HealthCare. "The anticipated addition of Spectronic's software offering to our portfolio would support our vision for an MR-based radiation oncology workflow and would help enable high-precision treatment planning for radiotherapy patients across the globe." The company also announced its intent to integrate Spectronic Medical's MRI Planner software to support MR-only workflows across global radiotherapy centers. These tools are being folded into the expanded Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT) solution, which now supports third-party AI applications and accelerates the treatment timeline. By combining MR imaging, automation, and deep learning, GE HealthCare aims to raise the precision and accessibility of radiotherapy worldwide. Schrödinger, Inc. (NASDAQ: SDGR) recently presented new preclinical data at AACR 2025 on two targeted cancer therapies developed using its proprietary computational platform. Among the findings, a machine learning model predicted synergistic drug combinations for its Wee1 inhibitor SGR-3515, enhancing its potential use across multiple tumor types. "The preclinical data for SGR-3515 and SGR-4174 further demonstrate that molecules discovered and developed by Schrödinger have favorably differentiated molecular profiles compared to existing development-stage molecules," said Karen Akinsanya, Ph.D, President of R&D therapeutics at Schrödinger. "The preclinical profiles of these development candidates reinforce the power of our computationally-driven approach to designing molecules that meet challenging target product profiles and have the potential for meaningful benefit to patients." The company's AI-driven discovery approach continues to yield differentiated molecules with promising therapeutic profiles. As AI continues to evolve from concept to clinical application, these companies are quietly shaping the future of medicine at the infrastructure level. With regulatory momentum building and real-world deployments expanding, investors may want to pay attention as this shift begins to accelerate.

FDA Authorizes Expanded Access Program (EAP) to Help Provide Access to SPG302 for 200 ALS Individuals Ineligible for Clinical Study EAP Supports Real-world Data Collection Concurrent to Ongoing Clinical Studies of SPG302 LOS ANGELES, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinogenix, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering first-in-class therapeutics that restore synapses to improve the lives of patients worldwide, today announced that it has received notification from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin its Expanded Access Program (EAP) for SPG302 in the United States (U.S.) for people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) that meet program eligibility criteria. SPG302 is being developed as the first synaptic regenerative approach to treating ALS, with the potential to slow or reverse declines in cognitive and motor function. Spinogenix CEO and Founder Dr. Stella Sarraf stated, "FDA clearance to launch this new EAP supports its awareness of SPG302's safety and potential efficacy, and the need for ALS patients to have access to novel treatments. This EAP reflects our dedication to giving hope to people living with ALS and their families, providing treatment to those who do not qualify for, or may be unable to participate in, our ongoing clinical trial. Innovation is urgently needed to tackle ALS, a disease with devastating impact, and we are committed to ensuring that no patients who may benefit are left behind." EAPs are designed to allow individuals with serious or life-threatening conditions to access investigational treatments outside of a clinical trial that are not yet approved by the FDA. Dan Doctoroff, founder and chairman of Target ALS, and the first individual to receive SPG302 in the U.S. as part of a separate EAP protocol commented, "The notion that ALS is an untreatable disease is outdated. My own experience with SPG302, the first synaptic regenerative therapy in clinical development, has shown that partial stabilization of the disease is a possibility. I am thrilled that the FDA has recognized the value of allowing Spinogenix to expand access to SPG302, allowing others battling ALS to have a similar beneficial experience." In addition to serving the ALS community by providing access to an innovative investigational therapy, the EAP enables the collection of real-world data on SPG302 safety and efficacy that can support its clinical development. The FDA previously granted SPG302 Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ALS. Spinogenix recently completed a Phase 2 ALS trial in Australia, and patients have been offered a continuation of treatment in an open label extension. Additional information on the trial (NCT05882695) and open label extension (NCT06903286) may be found on ClinicalTrials.gov. About SPG302 SPG302 is a once-a-day pill being developed as a regenerative treatment for neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases with the unique ability to restore synapses, the key connections between neurons that allow people to think, plan, remember, and control movement. The synaptic regenerative activity of SPG302 represents a first-in-class approach to treating these diseases and has the potential to reverse declines in cognitive, respiratory, and motor function. SPG302 has been granted U.S. FDA Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ALS and has received preclinical support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense. Spinogenix has completed a Phase 1/2 study in Australia (NCT05882695) assessing the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of once-daily dosing of SPG302 in healthy volunteers and up to 48 weeks of treatment in ALS patients. Additional information on the global clinical trials evaluating SPG302 for the treatment of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06442462 and NCT06427668). About Expanded Access to SPG302 Access to SPG302 is available in the U.S. for certain adults with ALS who meet eligibility criteria for participation in the FDA-authorized Expanded Access Program for SPG302. More information about the U.S. EAP can be requested through [email protected]. About Spinogenix Current treatments for neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions primarily focus on slowing disease progression or minimizing symptoms, leaving many without hope for improvement. Spinogenix is aiming to transform the treatment of these conditions through its pioneering first-in-class and paradigm-shifting synaptic regenerative and synaptic corrective therapeutics designed to restore depleted synapses and reverse synaptic degeneration and dysfunction – offering patients and their families a new reality of hope. Spinogenix is developing two novel therapeutics: SPG302, which triggers neurons to produce new glutamatergic synapses and restore cognitive, motor, and other functions in ALS, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and other diseases; and SPG601, which works at the synaptic level to correct specific dysfunctions in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) that underlie many core symptoms. The company has received FDA Orphan Drug designation for both ALS and FXS, as well as FDA Fast Track designation for FXS. More information on Spinogenix can be found at or follow us on LinkedIn.

Data from the QUASAR long-term extension study demonstrate more than 70% of patients were in clinical remission and more than 40% of patients were in endoscopic remission at Week 92 SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced new data from the TREMFYA® (guselkumab) Phase 3 QUASAR long-term extension (LTE) study in adults with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). These data are among 24 abstracts highlighting the Company's research being presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025. Data from the QUASAR LTE study demonstrate patients treated with TREMFYA® sustained clinical and endoscopic efficacy at Week 92: a, 1 72% of patients were in clinical remissionb with 99% of those patients remaining corticosteroid free for 8 or more weeks through Week 92. 43% of patients were in endoscopic remission.c Among patients achieving endoscopic improvementd at Week 44, 84% maintained endoscopic improvement through Week 92. Patients treated with TREMFYA® sustained clinical and endoscopic remission regardless of prior biologic and/or JAK inhibitor treatment history. "People living with ulcerative colitis seek treatments that both address the challenging symptoms of the disease and provide durable results," said Gary R. Lichtenstein, Vice Chief, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Development and Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania.e "These new data show TREMFYA delivers long-term, sustained clinical and endoscopic remission, marking important progress in UC care." Safety data were consistent with the well-established safety profile of TREMFYA® in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with no new safety concerns identified. "With these findings, TREMFYA shows the powerful impact it can have in achieving longer term remission in patients," said Esi Lamousé-Smith, MD, PhD, Vice President, Gastroenterology Disease Area Lead, Immunology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "This is a significant step forward in our mission to reshape the standard of care in inflammatory bowel disease." TREMFYA® is the first and only approved, dual-acting monoclonal antibody that blocks IL-23 while also binding to CD64, a receptor on cells that produce IL-23. IL-23 is a cytokine secreted by activated monocyte/macrophages and dendritic cells that is known to be a driver of immune-mediated diseases including UC.2,3,4,5,6 TREMFYA® received FDA approval in September 2024 for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active UC and is currently administered via an IV induction regimen, followed by a SC maintenance regimen. In November 2024, a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) was submitted to the FDA seeking approval of a SC induction regimen of TREMFYA® for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active UC. TREMFYA® was also approved by the FDA in March 2025 for SC and IV induction options for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). For a full list of all data being presented at DDW visit:   Editor's Notes: a. Nonresponder imputation results. Data were analyzed using 2 methods: 'nonresponder imputation' (NRI) accounting for patients with treatment failure or missing data, and 'as observed'. NRI results were consistent with as observed. b. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from induction baseline, a Mayo rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) of 0 or 1. c. Endoscopic remission (normalization) was defined as a MES of 0. d. Endoscopic improvement was defined as a MES of 0 or 1. e. Dr. Lichtenstein has received honorarium for his role as a consultant to Johnson & Johnson. He has not been compensated for any media work. ABOUT THE QUASAR PROGRAM (NCT04033445) QUASAR is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter, Phase 2b/3 program designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TREMFYA® in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who had an inadequate response or intolerance to conventional therapy (e.g., thiopurines or corticosteroids), prior biologics (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab) and/or JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib). QUASAR included a Phase 2b dose-ranging induction study, a confirmatory Phase 3 induction study, and a Phase 3 randomized withdrawal maintenance study. In the Phase 3 induction study, patients received either TREMFYA® 200 mg or placebo by IV infusion at Weeks 0, 4, and 8. In the Phase 3 maintenance study, patients received a SC maintenance regimen of either TREMFYA® 200 mg q4w, TREMFYA® 100 mg q8w, or placebo.7 The ongoing long-term extension study provides an additional 4 years of treatment. Efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and biomarkers are assessed at specified time points. ABOUT ULCERATIVE COLITIS Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucus. It is the result of the immune system's overactive response. Symptoms vary but may typically include loose and more urgent bowel movements, rectal bleeding or bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue.8 ABOUT TREMFYA® (guselkumab) Developed by Johnson & Johnson, TREMFYA® is the first approved fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize inflammation at the cellular source by blocking IL-23 and binding to CD64 (a receptor on cells that produce IL-23). Findings for dual-acting are limited to in vitro studies that demonstrate guselkumab binds to CD64, which is expressed on the surface of IL-23 producing cells in an inflammatory monocyte model. The clinical significance of this finding is not known. TREMFYA® is a prescription medicine approved in the U.S. to treat: adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet or UV light). adults with active psoriatic arthritis. adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.4 TREMFYA® is approved in Europe, Canada, Japan, and a number of other countries for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis.
