On Tuesday, Cisco Systems, Inc.(NASDAQ:CSCO)’s shares declined -1.57% to $25.14.

Barilla Group, the makers of Barilla brand pastas and sauces, is embracing the Internet of Everything (IoE) to provide consumers the ability to trace the entire chain of production for the ingredients in their food, from where it was grown to how it arrived on the store shelf. Barilla worked with Cisco (CSCO), Penelope S.p.A. and NTT DATA to implement a new technology platform called Safety for Food (S4F). Powered by the software ValueGo®, the platform enables consumers to scan a QR code on the back of limited edition Farfalle Pasta and Tomato and Basil Sauce packages to easily access a website that tells the story of the specific production batch, through a detailed analysis of all major phases of the supply chain. Consumers can find the limited edition Barilla pasta and sauce packages at the Coop Supermarket of the Future, part of the Future Food District at EXPO 2015 in Milan.

ValueGo®, developed by Penelope S.p.A., is the core system of the Safety for Food project, with specific agri-food vertical features for compliance checking, tracking and tracing of all food information along the entire supply chain and for building a ‘digital passport’ for food products.

Advaxis, Inc. (ADXS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cancer immunotherapies, and the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG, now part of NRG Oncology), declared clinical data from Stage 1 of an ongoing two-stage Phase 2 study (GOG-0265) of Advaxis’s lead Lm Technology(TM) immunotherapy, axalimogene filolisbac (ADXS-HPV), in patients with persistent or recurrent metastatic (squamous or non-squamous cell) carcinoma of the cervix (PRmCC) who have progressed on at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The Stage 1 data showed that treatment with axalimogene filolisbac resulted in a 38.5 percent 12-month overall survival rate in 26 patients.

Evaluation of safety data showed that Grade 1 or 2 adverse events occurred in 19 out of 26 patients (73 percent), with fatigue, chills and fever being the most common. Four patients (15 percent) experienced a Grade 3 adverse event (hypotension and cytokine release syndrome) and one patient (4 percent) experienced a Grade 4 adverse event (lung infection and sepsis). The results were presented at the American Gynecological & Obstetrical Society (AGOS) annual meeting in Half Moon Bay, Calif. by Tom Herzog, M.D., Clinical Director at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Institute.
