Shares of Celsion Corporation (NASDAQ:CLSN), declined -6.25% to $1.80, during its last trading session.
Celsion Corporation (CLSN), an oncology drug development company, recently stated data from a large preclinical study of the Company’s GEN-1 IL-12 immunotherapy in combination with Avastin® and Doxil® for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Results from the comprehensive studies confirmed remarkable initial GEN-1 + Avastin findings and show convincingly that GEN-1 when combined with Avastin® and Doxil®, standard of care for platinum resistant patients, demonstrated a greater than 98% reduction in tumor burden when contrast to the untreated control group. The findings represent a statistically noteworthy reduction in tumor burden and disease progression when contrast to the combination of Avastin® and Doxil® in a SKOV3 human cell line implanted into immunocompromised (nude) mice.
The study was designed to evaluate in a mouse model of disseminated ovarian cancer, the efficacy of a combined treatment regimen that compriseed of weekly administrations of GEN-1 with therapeutically relevant doses of Doxil® and Avastin®. In the study, the combination of GEN-1 with Avastin® and Doxil® demonstrated a robust anti-tumor advantage contrast to untreated animals in addition to a statistically noteworthy improvement over the combination of Avastin® and Doxil® as summarized below:
Analysis of serum chemistry and hematology suggested no overt toxicities associated with the combined treatments. The preclinical data comprise with the mechanism of action for GEN-1, which exhibits certain anti-angiogenic properties in addition to its well-characterized immunomodulatory activities.
Celsion Corporation, an oncology drug development company, focuses on the development and commercialization of chemotherapeutic oncology drugs based on its proprietary heat-activated liposomal technology.
At the end of Tuesday’s trade, Shares of Intersil Corp (NASDAQ:ISIL), declined -0.33% to $12.11.
Intersil Corporation (ISIL), introduced an innovative time-of-flight (ToF) signal processing IC that provides a complete object detection and distance measurement solution when combined with an external emitter (LED or laser) and photodiode. The ISL29501 ToF device offers one-of-a-kind functionality, counting ultra-small size, low-power consumption and superior performance ideal for connected devices that make up the Internet of Things (IoT), in addition to consumer mobile devices and the emerging commercial drone market.
The ISL29501 overcomes the shortcomings of traditional amplitude-based proximity sensors and other ToF solutions that perform poorly in lighting conditions above 2,000 lux, or cannot provide distance information unless the object is perpendicular to the sensor. Alternative solutions are too expensive, bulky or power hungry for use in small form factor, battery-powered applications. Based on Intersil’s patented technology, the ISL29501 sensor provides a small solution footprint and precision long-range accuracy up to two meters in both dark and bright ambient light conditions. Unlike competitive solutions, the ISL29501 allows customers to select the emitter and photodiode of their choice and configure a low power ToF sensing system customized for their application. To make system design easy for customers, Intersil offers a reference design featuring the ISL29501, emitter and photodiode, together with graphical user interface (GUI) software and user’s guide.
The ISL29501 applies Intersil’s power administration expertise to save power and extend battery life through several innovations. The on-chip emitter DAC with programmable current up to 255mA allows system designers to select the desired current level for driving the external infrared (IR) LED or laser. This feature enables optimization of distance measurement, object detection and power budget. The device’s single shot mode saves power by allowing designers to define the sampling period for initial object detection and approximate distance, while continuous mode more accurately measures distance. The ISL29501 also performs system calibration to accommodate performance variations of the external components across temperature and ambient light conditions.
Intersil Corporation designs and develops power administration and precision analog integrated circuits (ICs) for industrial and infrastructure, consumer, and computing markets.
