Ananda Developments finance director Jeremy Sturgess-Smith shares promising results from preclinical studies investigating the efficacy of MRX1 in treating cardiac fibrosis and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Sturgess-Smith explained that Ananda Developments acquired MRX Medical, the company that owns the MRX1 IP, last year. The company specialises in chronic inflammatory pain conditions and cannabis-based medicinal treatments.

The study shows that dosing MRX1 in mice with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction can bring heart and lung weight back to healthy levels and significantly reduce heart failure compounds. Sturgess-Smith emphasised the high unmet medical need in treating heart failure, with limited options beyond diet and exercise.

Ananda Developments aims to include MRX1 as part of its treatment portfolio, alongside its existing two Phase II trials investigating Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Endometriosis.

Next steps involve consultations with Dr Nadine Godsman, who led the trial, to determine whether to proceed with human studies or further mice data collection.

GTI Energy Ltd (ASX:GTR) executive director Bruce Lane sits down with Elisha Newell in the Proactive Australia studio to discuss the company’s share placement and upcoming resource drilling at the Lo Herma ISR uranium project in Wyoming, USA.

GTI has secured commitments to raise $2.25 million through the placement of 500 million new shares to existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors. The shares will be issued at $0.0045 each, with one free attaching option for every three shares. These options will have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and will expire four years from the date of issue. GTI Energy has also planned a non-renounceable pro-rata rights entitlement offer for existing shareholders under similar terms to the placement.

The funds will be used for a scoping study and resource drilling at the Lo Herma in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium project in Wyoming, and to advance exploration at the company’s Green Mountain and Utah projects.

The Lo Herma 2024 drilling program will involve the drilling of 71 holes and constructing up to five groundwater monitoring wells with drilling expected to commence in July. The company has contracted a preferred Wyoming-based exploration drilling contractor for this work. The drilling permit is currently under review by the State of Wyoming’s Land Quality Division. Once completed, GTI will publish an updated mineral resource estimate and exploration target range for Lo Herma to support a scoping study.

Race Oncology Ltd (ASX:RAC) CEO Dr Daniel Tillett joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson following the completion of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) toxicology and safety pharmacology studies for RC220 bisantrene, its flagship formulation for peripheral intravenous (IV) infusion. These studies, contracted to Attentive Science (USA) and Agilex Biolabs (Australia) in October 2023, found no unexpected toxicities and support the use of RC220 bisantrene in human clinical trials.

The GLP studies, conducted on time and within budget, aimed to confirm the safety of RC220 bisantrene in two animal species and establish a starting dose for Phase I clinical trials. Three doses (low, medium and high) were administered via peripheral veins, showing systemic effects similar to those of the historical bisantrene formulation administered centrally. Observed toxicities were reversible post a four-week recovery period, with no adverse infusion site or vein reactions specific to RC220. Safety pharmacology studies confirmed an acceptable respiratory and cardiovascular safety profile at all dose levels.

The data will support regulatory submissions for human clinical trials, including a Phase 1a/1b trial in Australia, Hong Kong and South Korea, an investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2 AML trial and a US FDA IND application in 2025.

Tillett praised the team for completing the studies efficiently and highlighted the significance of these findings in advancing RC220 bisantrene towards clinical use. The next steps involve submitting a human ethics application in Q3 CY2024, followed by clinical site governance approval and anticipated patient recruitment in Q4 CY2024.

Cooper Metals Ltd (ASX: CPM) managing director Ian Warland sits down with Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss results from additional geochemical sampling at the Gooroo Project in Western Australia. The project targets orogenic gold and copper-gold mineralisation in the Gullewa Greenstone Belt, known for significant gold deposits like the Deflector mine.

Recent sampling in May 2024 revealed enhanced gold anomalies, with notable results including a rock chip sample from the new Foxglove anomaly assaying up to 48.3 g/t. Soil sampling identified six gold soil anomalies in key structural trap sites, such as the Gullewa syncline and regional faults, crucial for gold deposit formation. The Foxglove anomaly showed a maximum soil gold value of 118ppb, while other areas like Smokebush and Darwinia also displayed higher gold values with maximums of 16.2ppb and 42.8ppb, respectively.

Cooper Metals plans further infill sampling to better define these anomalies and determine mineralisation controls ahead of drill testing, pending regulatory approvals. Warland expressed optimism about the results, highlighting the significant findings at Foxglove and the company's efforts to advance the project.
