COLORESCIENCE® INTRODUCES TOTAL LASH™ MASCARA

Colorescience

Colorescience®, a leading dermatologist-recommended specialty skincare company, is launching Total Lash™ Mascara, an innovative, new all-in-one lash serum, conditioner and mascara that immediately enhances the appearance of lash length and volume for a vibrant, eye-opening effect. With every application, this clinically tested formula works to improve lash health with a blend of peptides and botanicals that nourishes the lashes while helping support the natural lash cycle for healthier, stronger, fuller and longer looking lashes. The Total Lash™ ingredient complex uses gentle, prostaglandin analogue-free ingredients and has been ophthalmology tested and confirmed to be safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. This formula is ideal for those who want to restore and improve their natural lashes, especially after discontinuing lash extensions, false lashes, or other lash procedures. Dr.Tanya Khan, Oculoplastic Surgeon and Board-Certified Ophthalmologist, led the clinical study. After a 12-week clinical trial with daily usage of Total Lash Mascara 90% of subjects reported their lashes looked longer. As measured by Dr. Khan, lashes were on average 24% longer compared to baseline. Over 92% of subjects reported less lash breakage and 94% reported lashes appeared fuller, thicker, and fluffier after twelve weeks of usage. Recalling these results, Dr. Khan shared, “During the clinical study, it became clear to me that patients were readily achieving their desired results of lash growth, density, thickness, and darkness when using the Total Lash™ product once per day. As an oculoplastic surgeon and ophthalmologist, I am even more amazed that the formula is well-tolerated by sensitive eyes and does not cause irritation or discoloration of the delicate skin around the eye area. I look forward to offering this product to my patients as a safe, effective, and gentle daily option that delivers lash enhancement without prostaglandins or extensions.” This multi-benefit formula enhances the appearance of length and volume, nourishes and strengthens the lashes and supports lash growth. Proven peptide Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 stimulates the hair follicle to help support continued growth while botanical extracts optimize root health and help promote continued growth for longer, fuller looking lashes. The results are a visibly denser, more defined lash line and longer lashes that are hydrated and nourished. Panthenol and jojoba seed oil condition and nourish lashes to reduce breakage helping strengthen and prolong length and volume. Lastly, the formula immediately enhances lashes upon application while providing all-day smudge-free wear. This tubing mascara wraps each lash in a rich black iron oxide mineral pigment, making this dye-free formula ideal for sensitive eyes. Patricia Boland, VP of Research & Development at Colorescience says, “We created this formula with the tubing feature because our goal is always to treat and improve while delivering immediate enhancement and optimal wear. The skin around the eyes is especially thin and delicate, so extensive rubbing during removal of products can contribute to irritation. Instead, our Total Lash Mascara envelops each lash with our clinically proven treatment complex while maximizing wear-time, and the product removes effortlessly with warm water and a favorite cleanser.” ABOUT COLORESCIENCE Colorescience ®, the leading innovator in all-mineral sun protection, delivers transformational skincare solutions through wearable multifunctional products that provide immediate confidence and long-term visible results. Crafted for users who know that great results require daily skincare and protection, Colorescience ® uses cutting-edge technology and clinically tested formulas to ensure efficacy and provide reassurance to people of all ages, skin types, and concerns.

Industry Update: 3 Exciting Precision Oncology Players to Watch Following Summit’s Meteoric Rise: Silexion, Nuvectis, Scorpian

Global Markets News

Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) recently captured headlines with the release of its Phase 3 data for ivonescimab, a targeted NSCLC therapy that has generated substantial buzz. The results from its trial conducted in China showed a dramatic 49% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to Merck’s Keytruda, signaling a potentially disruptive force in NSCLC treatment. However, the news wasn’t without its concerns—since the trial data originates from China, there are questions about its applicability to broader, global populations. As noted by BMO Capital Markets’ Evan Seigerman: “Results may or may not be generalizable beyond the China-focused patient population initially assessed.” Despite this, Summit’s valuation has risen by over 100%, now approximating $19 billion. With such a high valuation, the company could see limited room for further significant gains, leading many in the industry to explore other emerging opportunities in precision oncology. Alongside Summit, there are quite a few other players in the field. Some if these companies have even already shown promising initial results and could see similar success in the future if they were to report positive results. These emerging players are worth watching for those interested in following precision oncology drug candidates and pipelines. Among them are precision oncology innovators such as Silexion Therapeutics, Nuvectis Pharma, and Scorpion Therapeutics, which we discuss below. Silexion Therapeutics: Disrupting the KRAS-Driven Cancer Space Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN) is another under-the-radar player in the precision oncology space, with a focus on KRAS-driven cancers—a notoriously difficult target in oncology. While current small-molecule KRAS inhibitors are making progress, they are often limited to specific mutations, such as KRAS G12C, which accounts for a small percentage of cancers. Silexion’s RNA interference (RNAi) approach offers a broader solution, targeting a wider spectrum of KRAS mutations, particularly in pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant cancers. At the heart of Silexion’s approach is its LODER™ platform, which delivers siRNA directly to the tumor site, silencing KRAS mutations at the genetic level. This localized delivery not only increases efficacy by concentrating the treatment in the tumor, but it also reduces systemic side effects. Silexion’s next-generation candidate, SIL-204, is an optimized siRNA formulation designed to target pan-KRAS G12x mutations, positioning it to treat a broader range of KRAS-driven cancers beyond pancreatic cancer, such as lung and colorectal cancers. In Phase 2 trials for locally advanced pancreatic cancer, Silexion's LODER™ platform showed a 9.3-month improvement in overall survival when combined with standard chemotherapy. Additionally, the objective response rate (ORR) increased from 20% with chemotherapy alone to 55% with the combination, and in some cases, tumors that were initially non-resectable became operable after treatment with LODER™. These results are especially encouraging given the limited options available for pancreatic cancer patients. SIL-204, is expected to enter Phase 2/3 clinical trials in 2025-2026. What makes Silexion particularly intriguing is its current market valuation. Valued at aproximatly just ~$9 million following its SPAC merger, the company’s valuation could be perceived as low when compared to some of its peers, especially given its innovative technology and promising clinical achievements. Some have wondered whether this low valuation has more to do with dynamics post-SPAC companies. If Silexion can report positive results in its later-stage trials, the company’s outlook could dramatically improve, reflecting the potential of its RNAi-based platform. Like NXP900, SIL-204 could potentially have vast applications across multiple KRAS-driven cancer types, making Silexion a company to watch closely as it advances through clinical development. Nuvectis Pharma: Targeting NSCLC and Beyond by Inhibiting SRC/YES1 Kinases Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has been quietly making strides in the precision oncology sector, developing innovative therapies aimed at overcoming treatment resistance in hard-to-treat cancers. Its lead candidate, NXP900, targets NSCLC by inhibiting the SRC/YES1 kinases, which play critical roles in cancer cell survival and resistance to current therapies. This approach positions NXP900 as a potential game-changer in the treatment of NSCLC, particularly in patients who have developed resistance to EGFR and ALK inhibitors, such as AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso and Novartis’ Alecensa. NXP900 is still in the early stages of clinical development, currently undergoing Phase 1 trials. However, preclinical studies have already shown that it has strong anti-tumor activity in resistant NSCLC models. Even more promising is its potential application beyond NSCLC. Like Summit's ivonescimab, NXP900 focuses on resistance, but it also has broader applications due to its ability to target multiple cancer types driven by SRC/YES1 pathways. This versatility makes it a promising asset not just for NSCLC but also for other difficult-to-treat cancers like squamous cell carcinomas. In addition to NXP900, Nuvectis is advancing NXP800, another precision oncology candidate that is further along in the clinical development process. NXP800 is currently in Phase 1b trials, targeting ARID1a-mutated cancers such as ovarian and endometrial cancers. The early clinical data for NXP800 is promising, showing positive responses in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. With two strong candidates in the pipeline, Nuvectis is positioning itself as a formidable player in the precision oncology landscape. As Summit’s ivonescimab continues to gain attention, Nuvectis’ earlier-stage NXP900, with its NSCLC focus and beyond, could see similar success in the future if clinical results continue to trend positively. Scorpion Therapeutics: Pioneering Mutant-Selective Therapies Scorpion Therapeutics is redefining the frontier of precision oncology with its focus on delivering highly selective small molecules targeting validated and previously undruggable cancer mutations. Its lead candidate, STX-478, is a mutant-selective, allosteric PI3Kα inhibitor currently in Phase 1/2 trials for advanced solid tumors. Early data presented at the ESMO Congress 2024 highlighted its potential, with STX-478 demonstrating a 23% overall response rate in breast cancer and a 21% response rate across all tumor types, positioning it as a potentially best-in-class PI3Kα inhibitor. STX-478 is notable for its ability to spare wild-type PI3Kα activity in normal tissues, avoiding the toxicities seen with previous PI3Kα inhibitors, such as hyperglycemia and rash. Tumor reductions were seen in 72% of patients treated with STX-478 as a monotherapy, with circulating tumor DNA levels dropping in 86% of patients. This mutant-selective precision could help overcome the limitations of existing PI3Kα inhibitors, which have struggled with dose-limiting toxicities. In July 2024, Scorpion raised $150 million in a Series C financing round, co-led by Frazier Life Sciences and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The additional funding will support the advancement of STX-478 and other pipeline assets, positioning Scorpion for further clinical success. Scorpion’s pipeline includes a broad range of wholly-owned compounds that target both validated and novel cancer targets, positioning the company for future expansion into larger patient populations. As STX-478 progresses through clinical development, Scorpion is poised to become a significant player in the precision oncology space, making it another company worth watching closely. Optimistic Outlook for Precision Oncology The precision oncology space is experiencing a golden era of innovation, with companies like Summit Therapeutics, Nuvectis Pharma, Silexion Therapeutics, and Scorpion Therapeutics leading the charge. As the focus shifts towards targeted therapies that address resistance mechanisms, the market is increasingly favoring companies with novel approaches and broad applications. Summit’s meteoric rise has shown that there is tremendous potential for companies that can demonstrate efficacy in overcoming cancer resistance. While Summit has already captured much of the current attention, companies like Nuvectis, Silexion, and Scorpion, with their earlier-stage pipelines, offer exciting opportunities for the industry to keep a close eye on. As these companies continue to report clinical data and advance through trials, the potential for breakthroughs in treating some of the most difficult cancers grows stronger. With targeted therapies offering the possibility of overcoming resistance without the need for chemotherapy, the future of cancer treatment looks brighter than ever. For those in the oncology space, keeping a close eye on emerging players like Nuvectis, Silexion, and Scorpion could lead to transformative developments as the field of precision oncology continues to evolve. * * * This update may include speculative forward looking statements.

Leading Beauty Retailer Credo Beauty Debuts Private Label Skincare Line: Credo Skincare

Credo Beauty

Credo, the specialty clean beauty retail pioneer, is proud to announce the launch of its own eponymous skincare line, Credo Skincare. The specialty retailer has raised the bar introducing a benefit-driven collection of skincare products focused on the #1 skin concern gathered from clients – hydration – while continuing to challenge and elevate standards for clean and sustainable products and packaging. A cohesive easy to navigate cleanser and moisturizer system meets wanted gold standards. A decade ago, Credo disrupted an underregulated industry as a catalyst for positive change spurring a tidal wave of conscientious product and packaging innovation. Now after accruing 10 years of customer feedback, experience, and data Credo Skincare was developed according to what they found matters most. Ultimately hydration was the stand-out concern for clients. And through in-depth analysis, Credo determined the top ingredient and search terms according to what customers want from their products to deliver that and more. Through their access to the best in business partners, they created results-driven formulas packed with clinically proven actives and sustainably- minded packaging - every aspect of Credo Skincare is transparent and powerfully effective. Credo Skincare’s first collection is comprised of two cleansers ($44 each) and four moisturizers ($64 each) that service skin conditions surrounding primary concerns - dry skin, sensitivity and redness, dullness, and aging - by nourishing the skin and protecting its microbiome through today’s most powerful active combinations. Their formulations are based on key ingredient search terms and skincare concerns. As well, each product contains the transformative power of upcycled vetiver root extract, ethically harvested by a local cooperative in Haiti. Vetiver root is an antioxidant-loaded, potent wonder grass that supports the protection of the skin’s barrier for a vibrant skin tone and a nourished complexion while improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of pores and wrinkles. Credo Skincare’s goals are to provide an easy two step, effective regimen for healthy, hydrated skin that makes customers look and feel their best. Clinicals have proven 27% improvement in hydration after 24 hours, 31% improvement in hydration instantly, and an improvement in the skin barrier function instantly and after 24 hours. ● Deep Thirst Hydrating Cleanser ($44): A transformative formula to deeply cleanse while retaining moisture. ● True Timeout Calming Cleanser ($44): Designed to soothe and calm sensitive skin. ● Deep Thirst Hydrating Moisturizer ($64): Provides intense hydration with lasting effects. ● True Timeout Calming Moisturizer ($64): Helps alleviate sensitivity and redness. ● Radiance Rising Brightening Moisturizer ($64): Brightens dull skin and enhances radiance. ● Rewinder Anti-Aging Moisturizer ($64): Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Every pump and cap in the Credo Skincare collection is comprised of a first-of-its kind PCR resin, including beauty waste packaging collected in Credo Beauty stores nationwide through Pact Collective, the non-profit Credo Beauty co-founded to divert beauty packaging from landfills. ● The Credo pump was created with Pact’s NewMatter material, a mixture of hard-to-recycle material or landfill and ocean-bound plastic. ● The first run of NewMatter pumps eliminated the need for 500 kg of virgin plastic (500 kg of recycled plastic used is equivalent to 11 cubic meters of landfill space or ~2,900 gallons of space!) ● Every 38 pumps eliminate one pound of material going to the landfill or ocean. “The benefit of listening to 10 years of customers' desires and skin concerns compelled us to create this line. Years of data drove the ingredient compositions of these products so that we could exceed our customers’ expectations for efficacy. Our Credo Clean Standard is already rigorous and difficult to attain but we wanted to challenge ourselves with how our own brand could take clean innovation to new heights from full disclosure of fragrance ingredients and packaging innovation to exceeding the minimum requirements to check certain boxes, Credo Skincare raises the bar on what is possible and what can become the future baseline,” says Co-Founder and CEO Annie Jackson.

Nuvectis Pharma Rises in Pre-Market Following FDA Orphan Drug Designation for NXP800, Fueling Optimism Ahead of Key Clinical Data

Global Markets News

Nuvectis Pharma (NASDAQ: NVCT) has achieved a significant milestone with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granting Orphan Drug Designation for its lead candidate, NXP800. This designation, specifically for the treatment of ARID1a-deficient ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers, marks a critical step forward in Nuvectis’s mission to address unmet needs in oncology. Orphan Drug Designation: A Strategic Advantage The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation is awarded to drugs that show promise in treating rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. For Nuvectis, this designation not only validates the potential of NXP800 but also provides several strategic benefits. These include tax credits for clinical trial costs, exemption from certain FDA fees, and potentially seven years of market exclusivity upon approval. NXP800 targets ARID1a-deficient cancers, a subset of ovarian cancers that present significant treatment challenges. The Orphan Drug Designation underscores the importance of this candidate in potentially offering a new, more effective treatment option for patients with this specific genetic mutation. Background and Market Impact This latest achievement builds on Nuvectis Pharma’s earlier successes. Earlier this year, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to NXP800 for its development in platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. The Fast Track status, combined with the Orphan Drug Designation, highlights the urgent need for innovative treatments in this space and positions NXP800 as a potential game-changer in oncology. Financial analysts have taken note of Nuvectis’s progress. H.C. Wainwright recently reiterated its buy rating for Nuvectis, setting a price target of $21. This optimistic outlook reflects the market’s confidence in the company’s strategic direction, particularly as it prepares to release key clinical data later this year. Anticipation for Upcoming Results The next few months are expected to be pivotal for Nuvectis Pharma. The company is poised to share updates from its ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of NXP800, which targets patients with platinum-resistant, ARID1a-mutated ovarian cancer. This trial is being closely watched, as positive results could significantly advance the development of NXP800, bringing it closer to pivotal trials and eventual regulatory approval. Additionally, Nuvectis is also conducting a Phase 1a dose escalation study for NXP900, its second key candidate, which targets YES1/SRC-driven tumors. Updates from this study are expected to provide further insights into the safety and potential efficacy of NXP900. ### Nuvvectis' Full announcment, titled " Nuvectis Pharma Announces Orphan Drug Designation Granted by the FDA for NXP800 for the Treatment of ARID1a-deficient Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancers" was published on August 29th, 2024. ### This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial, investment or any form of professional advice, recommendation or endorsement.
