AGC Biologics Seattle Achieves Approval for all 2024 Biologics License Applications from U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Concluding Pre-License Inspection

AGC Biologics

AGC Biologics, a leading global Biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval of a third Biologics License Applications (BLA) from the March 2024 inspection of the company’s Seattle facility. The closure of this inspection and final BLA approval resulted in each of the three commercial products evaluated being approved for commercial production – a regulatory compliance and quality milestone for the site. The Seattle CDMO facility welcomed the FDA in March 2024 for an intensive week of three product inspections. The approved products include two FC-fusion proteins and a monoclonal antibody (mAb). One of the FC-fusion proteins is focused on treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer; the other is designed to treat age-related neovascular Macular Degeneration (nAMD) and other serious retinal diseases. The mAb product targets chronic-versus-host disease (GVHD). The series of 2024 BLA approvals continues a trend of successful regulatory milestones for the AGC Biologics Seattle site. The FDA has approved four biologics products manufactured at this facility in the last two years. AGC Biologics received commercial approval at the end of 2022 for a mAb product targeting type 1 diabetes (T1D), the first and only treatment of its type at the time of approval. “Performing an agency inspection for three products simultaneously is not easy and I am extremely proud of this result. We took on the challenge and helped ensure every product evaluated achieved commercial approval this year,” said Jose Gonzalez, General Manager, AGC Biologics Seattle. “This is a tremendous achievement for our site. For our partners bringing lifesaving treatments to patients, it is pivotal for their manufacturing partner to maintain regulatory compliance and a high level of product quality to help them reach commercial success. This is a shining example of AGC Biologics’ Seattle ability to do that.” AGC Biologics operates multiple mammalian cGMP manufacturing lines of various scales at its Seattle site, which serves as a center of excellence for formulation and employs the latest fed-batch and perfusion manufacturing processes. In the past year, AGC Biologics Seattle has also expanded to include a new microbial-based manufacturing line system and a state-of-the-art 67,000 sq. ft. GMP-compliant warehouse to further enhance the quality, efficiency and operational excellence of the site.

Investor Releases Satirical Video Calling for Reid Hoffman’s Removal from Microsoft’s Board

NLPC

Poor judgment that led him to visit [Jeffrey] Epstein Island, asking friends to meet with the late pedophile, and an overwrought obsession with the defeat and downfall of President Trump, are just a few of the reasons why tech investor Reid Hoffman should no longer serve on Microsoft’s board of directors, according to an investor in the company. And now that shareholder, National Legal and Policy Center, has released a satirical video to amplify the case it has made for the last 18 months – that the LinkedIn co-founder is unfit for such a prestigious role with the software giant. Last year NLPC submitted a memorandum to the Securities and Exchange Commission asking shareholders to vote against Hoffman’s re-election to the Microsoft board. The nonprofit investor again called for his removal this year in an additional filing at the SEC, after he told fellow billionaire elites at a Sun Valley, Idaho conference that he wished he had made Donald Trump an “actual martyr,” just days before an assassination attempt was made on the former President in Butler, Pa. “There are plenty of active and generous donors, mostly to left-leaning candidates, on corporate boards in the U.S., but we don’t consider them unfit to serve,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “But with his excessive Trump obsession, dubious political ethics and funding of lawfare, Reid Hoffman is in another class, which should eliminate him from consideration for any public company leadership role.” Microsoft’s annual meeting is scheduled for December 10, and release of the company’s proxy statement is expected before the end of October. Watch NLPC’s video on Hoffman and his role at Microsoft here. For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

Symphion® Technology to Help Gynecologists Mitigate Nationwide Saline Shortage

Minerva Surgical, Inc.

As the nationwide saline shortage impacts healthcare facilities across the country and the number of elective procedures is being reduced or halted, The Symphion technology from Minerva Surgical offers a solution to help gynecologists mitigate the rationing of saline for operative hysteroscopy procedures. A key feature of the Symphion Operative Hysteroscopy System is the fluid recirculation system. Unlike many uterine tissue removal products that use multiple bags of saline for operative hysteroscopy procedures, Symphion is designed to use one bag of saline during the uterine polyp or uterine fibroid removal. Symphion is the only operative hysteroscopy system with the capability to filter and recirculate saline for continuous use during each procedure. In addition to conserving saline with the fluid recirculation feature, Symphion may improve procedural efficiency by eliminating a workflow disruption or stoppage to replace a depleted bag of saline. This is a common occurrence with open-loop, weight-based fluid management systems. Other features of the Symphion Operative Hysteroscopy System include. • Volumetrically limit patient exposure to saline fluid absorption below the maximum AAGL guidelines of 2500mL • One bipolar RF tissue resecting device to remove uterine polyps and fibroids • Control persistent bleeding with optional coagulation function, which ACOG recognized as an advantage for a tissue removal device • Maintain visibility with independent on-demand aspiration to flush the uterine cavity • Optional digital fluid deficit readout device Darin Hammers, Minerva Surgical Chief Executive Officer said, “Symphion was engineered to address the needs of operative hysteroscopy. We are proud to support our physician and health system partners with a solution to help navigate this critical saline supply shortage and help them continue to provide relief to patients that suffer from Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB).” About Minerva Surgical: Minerva Surgical is a Women’s Health company committed to improving women’s health and quality of life by providing access to minimally invasive, technologically advanced, and innovative solutions for early detection, treatment, and management of uterine conditions.

XYPN Launches Sapphire, a Corporate Affiliation Model that Offers a New Path to Independence

XY Planning Network

XY Planning Network (XYPN), the nation’s leading support platform for independent, fee-for-service financial planners, today announced that it is launching a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) affiliation option—Sapphire—which will provide fee-only advisors with best-in-class technology, support and resources without the asset minimums, constraints or fees traditionally associated with joining a corporate RIA or broker-dealer. With the launch of Sapphire, XYPN now offers two ways to join membership. The Emerald path offers all the familiar tech, compliance, community, coaching, advocacy, education, and resource benefits of XYPN Membership and is for those who prefer more flexibility and control over their firm's management. Current Emerald members—and non-XYPN advisors—now have a second path: transitioning to Sapphire’s RIA affiliation model, created for those who want access to all of XYPN’s benefits, but prefer more support and back-office compliance, investment, and client-management outsourcing. Unlike other RIA affiliation models, Sapphire members own their business, clients, and data, and can transition with 100% of their revenue to another platform anytime. As independent contractors, not W-2 employees, Sapphire members fully control how they operate their businesses. “Too often, advisors strike out on their own so they can run their businesses how they want to, but then they join a corporate RIA only to end up back at square one, many times with even less control,” said XYPN CEO and co-founder Alan Moore. “We created Sapphire because many of our members asked for this option. They wanted a program that would allow them to focus on clients, not compliance and regulations. With the addition of Sapphire, fee-for-service planners have two paths to independence, and whichever one they choose, they can have the confidence of knowing that they are in control of their time and businesses.” Because XYPN Sapphire is an SEC-Registered Investment Advisor, their practices can be registered in days, bypassing the lengthy state-level registration process required for advisors operating their own RIAs. For those registered in multiple states or facing increasingly difficult regulatory challenges, it also offers an opportunity to operate under the consistency of SEC-level regulations rather than at the state level. Recently, Sapphire completed a pilot program, providing a select group of advisors with comprehensive support across compliance, investment management, bookkeeping and business coaching. XYPN is onboarding two to three advisors monthly and expects to transition roughly 50 advisors by the end of 2025 while also building out new service offerings across marketing, success coaching and community engagement. “The team at Sapphire has been amazing,” said Brian Muller, founder of Momentous Wealth Advisors. “Since coming on board, I have not been on a call with Schwab Service once personally, and everything gets done timely and efficiently. I couldn't ask for a better partner to handle all the things I need done for my clients and to run my firm. I wanted to have my brand and vision but not be distracted by all the activities required of a state-registered RIA. ” XYPN’s Sapphire membership is affordable and transparent. Unlike other affiliation models with opaque pricing, Sapphire offers a simple fee structure: $1,500 per month and 20% of the advisor’s revenue. Advisors interested in joining XYPN Sapphire are invited to fill out an interest form at: https://www.xyplanningnetwork.com/xypn-sapphire For more information, visit XYPN Sapphire’s sites for advisors and consumers. About XYPN XYPN is the only turnkey advice and planning platform that makes it possible for fee-only financial advisors to build the independent firm of their dreams with complete autonomy. We do this through ongoing advocacy and access to education and training, curated technology, compliance support, community, and back-office and client support services.

Acroud Media

With the rapid rise in popularity of online bingo, players have more choices than ever before. However, not all bingo sites are created equal, and selecting the right platform is essential to ensure a fun, secure, and satisfying gaming experience. Whether you’re a seasoned bingo enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of online bingo, understanding what to look for when choosing a site is key. Here are the most important features to consider when selecting the best online bingo site for your needs. 1. Licensing and Regulation: Ensuring a Safe and Secure Environment The first step in choosing an online bingo site is verifying its licensing and regulation. A properly licensed site guarantees that the platform follows strict standards for player protection, security, and fairness. Look for bingo sites that are licensed by reputable regulatory authorities, such as: UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner These licenses ensure that the site is regularly audited for fair play and adheres to strict rules that protect players from fraudulent activities. Expert Tip: Licensing information can typically be found at the bottom of the website. Always double-check the license on the official regulator's website. 2. Game Variety: More Than Just Bingo While bingo is the main attraction, the best online bingo sites also offer a wide range of game types and formats. Whether you prefer the fast-paced excitement of 75-ball bingo, the classic 90-ball format, or specialty games like 80-ball bingo, it’s important to choose a platform that caters to your preferences. Additionally, many bingo sites provide access to a variety of other games, such as: Slots Scratch cards Table games Live dealer games Having a diverse range of games means you can enjoy a complete gaming experience all in one place. 3. User-Friendly Design and Mobile Compatibility A great online bingo site should be easy to navigate, with a user-friendly design that allows you to find games, promotions, and information quickly. Make sure the site offers a clean interface, intuitive layout, and fast loading times, whether you’re playing on a desktop computer or a mobile device. With the increasing trend of gaming on the go, mobile compatibility is a crucial feature. The best bingo sites will have mobile-optimized websites or dedicated apps for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to enjoy your favorite games anytime, anywhere. 4. Bonuses and Promotions: Getting the Most for Your Money Online bingo sites often offer generous bonuses and promotions to attract new players and reward loyal customers. When choosing a site, look for the following types of bonuses: Welcome Bonuses: Typically given when you sign up and make your first deposit, offering free bingo tickets or a matched bonus. No Deposit Bonuses: Allows new players to try out games without depositing money, often giving free bingo tickets to start playing. Loyalty and VIP Programs: Many sites offer rewards for regular players, including cashback, exclusive games, and extra bonuses. Regular Promotions: These can include jackpot games, free ticket giveaways, and special seasonal events. While bonuses can boost your playing experience, always read the terms and conditions, especially regarding wagering requirements, which dictate how many times you must wager the bonus before withdrawing winnings. 5. Payment Methods: Fast, Secure, and Convenient Transactions One of the most important aspects of any online bingo site is its range of payment methods. Look for sites that offer trusted and secure payment options, including: Credit and Debit Cards E-wallets Bank Transfers Prepaid Cards Additionally, ensure that the site has a clear withdrawal policy, with reasonable processing times and minimal fees. A good bingo site will process withdrawals efficiently and provide detailed information on how long each payment method takes to complete. 6. RNG Certification and Fair Play: Ensuring Fairness in Every Game To ensure that all games are fair, reputable bingo sites use Random Number Generators (RNGs) to determine game outcomes. The RNG ensures that bingo numbers are drawn randomly, giving each player an equal chance of winning. Look for bingo sites that have their RNGs tested and certified by independent auditing bodies such as eCOGRA or iTech Labs. This certification guarantees that the games are fair, random, and transparent. 7. Social Features: Community and Chat Rooms One of the major appeals of bingo, both online and offline, is the social aspect of the game. The best online bingo sites will have chat rooms where players can interact with each other, participate in chat games, and engage with friendly chat hosts who moderate the room. Playing in an active community adds to the fun and excitement of the game, so choose a site with a vibrant and welcoming community. Many platforms offer chat bonuses or mini-games that can result in additional prizes while you play. 8. Customer Support: Getting Help When You Need It A reliable bingo site will offer customer support that is responsive, friendly, and available through multiple channels. Look for sites that provide: Live chat support for immediate assistance Email support for detailed enquiries Phone support for direct communication Ideally, the support team should be available 24/7 to address any questions or issues that may arise, ensuring that your gaming experience is smooth and hassle-free.
