NEW YORK - Tuesday, November 6th 2012 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE/ME NewsWire)-- iPavement premieres its WiFi Street standard in New York: an Intelligent Pavement featuring an OS, data storage, Apps upload and sensoring. It is totally SUITABLE for streets, with an easy and quick setting as a tiles line.
NYC WiFi STREET promotional spot shows how Mike, while in WiFi STREET, purchases tickets or gets touristic information, maps, augmented reality, sale coupons, audio guides, books or sport information, and lots of other services which help Mike through the Big Apple, even connecting with other city's infrastructures (irrigation, signaling, bus stops, subway...), allowing him, besides, to get connected with his family.
iPavement, by means of VIACITIES OS and other applications, provides the city with accessibility and proximity services and supplies Internet access and specific information via WiFi straight to mobile phones and tablets, in compliance with the “Intelligent Environments Pavement Standard”.
iPavement’s main integrated Apps, VIA-BOOK (The library in the street), VIA-MAPS (A means to discover information of interest, with simply a click), VIA-SOUND (Music and more!), VIA-COUPONS (Commercial coupons in the zone), MS-ALERT (Intelligent warnings via Bluetooth) and MS-BLUE (Programmed messages via Bluetooth).
As citizens, our online data claiming, social networking, media downloading, streaming or mobile phones video calling is constantly increasing, which make telecom companies to boost new 3G structures within the cities. The alternative iPavement Solution lessens the traffic between mobile and WiFi networks in the street.
WiFi Street concept, as designed for New York by VIA INTELIGENTE, could become a model for urban economic boost and for improvement in communications infrastructures in any city around the world.
iPavement is freely dispatching the technical requirements for cities to define and include WiFi STREETS into their Urban and Strategic Planning.

– Data will showcase potentially first- or best-in-class compounds –
BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire DUBLIN - Tuesday, November 6th 2012
EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium 2012
Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (HQ: Tokyo, President: Masayuki Kobayashi), the developer of the first orally available fluorouracil (FU) Chemotherapeutic treatment (TS-1/S-1), is presenting early stage data for eight novel oncology compounds, including potential first-in-class therapies. The data being presented during the 24th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeuticsfrom November 6 – 9, 2012 in Dublin, Ireland underscore Taiho’s steadfast commitment to improving cornerstone anti-metabolic cancer agents and developing novel molecular targeted therapies that can be used alone or in combination worldwide.
“The data being presented demonstrate Taiho’s ability to develop novel molecular targeted agents as well as next generation cytotoxic therapies, and underscore our continued commitment to developing investigational anticancer drugs that have the potential to improve treatment options available to cancer patients,” said Masayuki Kobayashi, Taiho Pharmaceutical’s president. “Our strategy surrounding innovative research and clinical development reinforces Taiho’s pursuit of becoming a top-ten oncology company in the next decade.”
Rapid Advancement
Taiho established a foundation of innovative product development 50 years ago, and the Company is committed to achieving efficiencies to effectively yield rapid results. This commitment is best demonstrated by the recent movement of the TAS-102 antitumor agent through preclinical and clinical development. Preclinical results being presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium show that TAS-102 exhibited marked tumor growth delay after drug treatment due to FTD incorporation into DNA when evaluated using a well-recognized animal model for breast cancer, and a survival benefit in a colon cancer model.
A Phase II study of TAS-102, conducted in Japan, demonstrated an improvement in overall survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Taiho took the encouraging results from this Phase II study and completed the required western Phase I studies to initiate a global Phase III program within a 15 month period.
Exploring New Treatment Options – Alone and in Combination
Taiho has established a seamlessly connected research network, consisting of Tsukuba Research Center, Tokushima Research Center, the Taiho Clinical Development Center, and Taiho Pharma USA. The integrated network supports the discovery and development of numerous treatments. The Company’s research achieves the highest standards of drug discovery by letting science guide its development path, and then applying modern technology and innovation to achieve that end. Investigational drugs stemming from this research are being examined as potential stand-alone products, or ones that can be used in combination with existing therapies to potentially enhance the safety and efficacy profile of current cancer options.
Highlights of the preclinical results of Taiho’s investigational drugs being presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium include:
TAS-114, a first-in-class dUTPase (deoxyuridine 5’-triphosphate nucleotidehydrolase) and DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) dual inhibitor, was evaluated in three preclinical data sets in combination with a capecitabine-based chemotherapy as well as with S-1, and showed an impact on key pathway regulation and improvements in cytotoxicity of FU in vitro. Phase I studies are underway to explore the use of TAS-114 in combination with capecitabine, and separate studies examining the compound in combination with S-1. TAS-114 is being developed for potential use in treating solid tumors.
TAS-115, a dual inhibitor of hepatocyte and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, suppressed prostate cancer cell proliferation and osteoclast differentiation following bone resportion. Additionally, the combination of hepatocyte growth factor receptor gene expression signature and hepatocyte growth factor may represent a promising therapeutic biomarker for TAS-115. Taiho is developing TAS-115 as a potential treatment for solid tumors, and a Phase I study is underway.
TAS-116, a HSP90 inhibitor, showed a high tumor/retina concentration ratio that may be important in minimizing ocular toxicity, which is a known class effect of this class of agents.
TAS-117, an AKT inhibitor, in combination with taxanes, enhanced apoptosis induction and exhibited synergistic antitumor activity in in vitro and in vivo models.
TAS-2104, a highly selective Aurora A inhibitor, was found to enhance anti-proliferation activity by taxanes, suggesting that the compound is suitable to test clinically in combination with taxanes.
TAS-2913, a mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, was studied in vitro and findings suggest it may represent a new therapeutic option in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is resistant to epidermal growth factor receptors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
TAS-2985, a small molecule inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), demonstrated strong tumor growth inhibition in animal xenograft models, and a pharmacodynamic assay suggested the compound inhibits FGFR activity selectively in a human tumor xenograft model. Additionally, in vitro, the molecule selectively inhibited growth of human cancer cell lines in a FGFR-dependent manner.

Regulatory News:
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, won a new Sesames award at the 2012 CARTES & IDentification industry conference for its PrintPixel security feature. The winning innovation is being showcased on the Gemalto booth, Hall 3, Entrance.
“This Sesames award endorses our capacity in developing innovative products that lead to real-life applications and tangible benefits for service providers and end users, as part of our ongoing commitment to serving our customers with pioneering solutions that make them stay one step ahead,” commented Tan Teck-Lee, Gemalto’s Chief Innovation and Technology Officer. “The security features that are visible with the bare eye are always very efficient, easy to check by officials at border control and providing increased protection for citizens.”
PrintPixel™
PrintPixel is a highly secure printing technology that allows color photographs to be permanently embedded into polycarbonate identity cards. The remarkable innovation combines the security of laser engraving, which enables markings deep into the card body, with the quality of color portraits.
Conventional surface printing techniques for applying color portraits to polycarbonate cards are vulnerable to counterfeit as well as simple wear and tear. PrintPixel overcomes these limitations by retaining the deep marking characteristics of grey-scale laser engraving, but improving these with color capabilities. PrintPixel is performed independently of the card production process to provide a greater degree of flexibility for personalization of documents.

Sapient EngagedNowSM Delivers Innovative Multi-Channel Customer Experiences through a Unified Platform
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SapientNitro, part of Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE), today announced the launch of Sapient EngagedNowSM, a robust cloud-based platform offering that gives marketers the ability to better engage today’s on-the-go consumers across an increasing array of digitally enhanced channels. With EngagedNow, brands can create immersive, multi-channel customer experiences -- without having to design, develop and support the infrastructure needed to enable these experiences.
EngagedNow is a platform suite that can be used broadly by marketers across a range of industries. The suite also includes unique offerings and modular capabilities to support the specific needs of industry verticals, including sports & entertainment (Sapient EngagedFanSM) and travel (Sapient EngagedTravelerSM). EngagedNow is the first end-to-end platform that connects brands with digitally enabled consumers across an integrated set of channels -- from web and mobile to tablets and digital signage.
EngagedTraveler is in use today at leading U.S. airports, including Denver International Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, and The Port Authority in New York and New Jersey. Clear Channel Airports is using EngagedTraveler to power its FlySmart™ applications and other in-airport digital solutions across its expansive U.S. portfolio.
EngagedFan is being customized for NASCAR, as part of the company’s ambition to reinvent the fan experience. NASCAR engaged SapientNitro earlier this year to develop a digital platform that fosters fan engagement at its core. The result will be a unique experience set to debut in January 2013, one that will engage NASCAR fans at every moment -- before, during and after racing events.
“The EngagedFan platform will allow us to provide our fans with an immersive digital experience that deepens engagement opportunities with our sport,” said Marc Jenkins, Vice President, Digital Media at NASCAR. “Providing the best possible fan experience is our core objective, and EngagedFan helps us do just that.”
“Speed to market has never been more critical, as today’s connected consumers expect highly rich, relevant experiences, wherever they are,” said Chris Davey, global head of platform innovation at SapientNitro. “Our clients are seeking innovative ways to deliver relevant content to their audiences without requiring hefty technology resources and capital investments. To marry the desire for rich experience creation with the agility marketers need, SapientNitro is introducing a fully managed, cloud-based platform that frees our clients from technology hassles so they can focus on their needs: telling brand stories in ways that bring them closer to their customers.”
EngagedNow is a collection of proprietary cloud-based applications and 24/7 hosting and managed operations support. These customizable end-to-end platforms help brands manage customer experiences across all digital touch points, leveraging data and insight to deliver contextualized experiences and personalized storytelling to boost engagement.
“EngagedNow is another example of SapientNitro’s commitment to helping clients embrace the entire ecosystem of consumer touch points as an integrated platform for brand storytelling,” said Alan J. Herrick, president and CEO of Sapient. “Attracting today’s nimble and always-on consumers requires significant creativity and innovation to bring them into a brand’s story. Technology needs to be a catalyst, not a hindrance, for meeting rising expectations for seamless, connected experiences. Platforms like EngagedNow give marketers the agility to move at the speed of the consumer and to prosper in an environment of constant change.”
The EngagedNow suite is based on leading technology components, combined with marketing services and platform management and support. Pre-integrated, ready-to-use marketing tools allow clients through one platform to manage multiple functions including:
Content management
Multi-channel delivery

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire - INGELHEIM, Germany - Tuesday, November 6th 2012
New FDA data safety assessment supports previous clinical evidence on the safety of the anticoagulation therapy and reports new Pradaxa® and warfarin patients to have similar bleeding rates
Comprehensive efficacy and safety evaluation by the EMA leads to recommendation for renewal of the marketing authorisation for Pradaxa® to ensure ongoing patient benefit
For Non-US, Non-UK & Non-Canadian Media Only
Following independent regulatory appraisals of the safety and efficacy of the anticoagulation therapy Pradaxa®, both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) have reconfirmed the positive benefit-risk profile of the treatment for prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF)*.
On Friday 2nd November, the FDA published the results of a Mini-Sentinel assessment that indicated the bleeding rates associated with new use of Pradaxa® are not higher than those associated with new use of warfarin.1 With this analysis the FDA further confirmed the results demonstrated by the landmark 18,000-patient RE-LY® trial, upon which the treatment was approved. The announcement of the results follows the FDA’s U.S. label update in June this year. The U.S. label affirms superior reduction in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke versus warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
The FDA Mini-Sentinel assessment evaluated new information about the risk of serious bleeding associated with use of the anticoagulants Pradaxa® and warfarin. The FDA investigated the rates of gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial haemorrhage for new users of Pradaxa® compared to new users of warfarin. The assessment was undertaken using insurance claims and administrative data from the FDA’s Mini-Sentinel pilot of the Sentinel Initiative.
Specifically, the FDA states: “For the populations in the Mini-Sentinel data assessment, the combined incidence rate (ICH and GIH events** per 100,000 days at risk) was 1.8 to 2.6 times higher for new users of warfarin than for new users of Pradaxa®.”1
Further, “The FDA has not changed its recommendations regarding Pradaxa®. Pradaxa® provides an important health benefit when used as directed.”1
This follows the positive opinion adopted by the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) on the renewal of the marketing authorisation for Pradaxa® in October.2
The CHMP’s recommendation for renewal of the marketing authorisation for the next five years supports the benefits that Pradaxa® has been delivering to patients since its first approval in March 2008. The recommendation was based upon the favourable risk-benefit profile of the treatment, confirmed by the CHMP following comprehensive evaluation and includes all licensed indications of the treatment.2
“We welcome the positive conclusions reached by both the EMA’s CHMP Committee and the FDA in relation to the risk-benefit profile of Pradaxa®,” commented Professor Klaus Dugi, Corporate Senior Vice President Medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim. “The renewal of the marketing authorisation in Europe will reassure both healthcare professionals and patients of the benefit from this highly effective anticoagulant. Furthermore, the FDA’s assessment is a clear cut statement for Pradaxa®’s favourable safety profile, now demonstrated also in real-world clinical practice.”
Boehringer Ingelheim will present a wealth of latest data on Pradaxa® from 16 abstracts at the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Scientific Sessions in Los Angeles from 3-7 November 2012, including the first and only long-term safety and efficacy data of an oral anticoagulant, the results of the RELY-ABLE® study. The data reinforce Boehringer Ingelheim’s ongoing commitment to adding to the scientific body of evidence for Pradaxa® and the benefit of the treatment for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
*The reconfirmation of the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) includes both indications of Pradaxa®: for prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and for prevention of venous thromboembolism.
**ICH and GIH= Intracranial hemorrhage (brain bleeding) and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (bleeds in pharynx, stomach, colon or rectum)

HIGH POINT, N.C. - Saturday, November 3rd 2012 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TransTech Pharma, Inc., announced today that recruitment of patients for its recently initiated, multi-center Phase 2 clinical trial of TTP054 in type 2 diabetics, is exceeding expectations with initial top line results available in early 2013. The 90-day proof of concept study is being conducted in type 2 diabetics not well controlled with approved oral anti-diabetic agents. TTP054 acts as an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1r).
“Currently available anti-diabetic agents fall short in controlling diabetes in a large percentage of the affected population. Therefore, the search for novel drugs and mechanisms to address this huge unmet medical need is imperative,” said Dr. Adnan Mjalli, Chairman and CEO of TransTech Pharma. “Injectable GLP-1 analogues, have shown impressive efficacy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes but are associated with several side effects, including nausea and gastrointestinal upset. To our knowledge, TTP054 is the first small-molecule, orally available GLP1r agonist in clinical development, providing the convenience and lower cost of oral agents with a potentially superior GI side effect profile.” In a prior 28-day study in type 2 diabetics not well controlled on metformin, TTP054 demonstrated an excellent safety profile and a statistically significant reduction in fasting and post-prandial glucose levels over the course of the study. The observed glucose control in this study is predictive of long-term reduction in HbA1c exceeding 1.0%. In this study, TTP054 was well-tolerated with no evidence of nausea and no serious adverse events. Moreover a significant decrease in plasma lipids was also observed.
Dr. Mjalli added, “TransTech Pharma is fully invested in the discovery and development of oral, small-molecule GLP1r agonists.” We believe that oral GLP1r agonists will be a new paradigm for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Our commitment to this new paradigm in diabetes treatment is shown by our recent investigational new drug application filing for TTP273, a second molecule in our GLP1r agonist program, and its successful completion of its first-in-human study where it demonstrated impressive tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.”
About TTP054
TransTech Pharma, utilizing its proprietary drug discovery platform TTP Translational Technology®, has discovered and developed a series of novel, small-molecule GLP1r agonists that stimulate the body’s ability to regulate glucose levels. TTP054 is the lead development candidate in the GLP1r agonist program and binds to the GLP1 receptor through a newly identified and patented binding pocket on the receptor. The efficacy of GLP1r analogues for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is well documented. TransTech anticipates that its orally available GLP1r agonists will prove safe and effective, providing significant benefits over the currently available injectable GLP1 analogues.
About Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes presents a growing burden on healthcare systems globally, with costs exceeding $370 billion annually. The goal of maintaining HbA1c levels below 7.0% is elusive for patients with this life-long disease. In addition to poorly regulated glucose, diabetics commonly have co-morbidities, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness, kidney disease, amputations, dental disease, and central and peripheral nervous system impairment.
About TransTech Pharma
TransTech Pharma is a privately held clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of human therapeutics to fill unmet medical needs. The Company’s high-throughput drug discovery platform, Translational Technology®, translates the functional modulation of human proteins into safe and effective medicines. TransTech Pharma has a pipeline of small-molecule clinical and pre-clinical drug candidates for the treatment of a wide range of human diseases, including central nervous system disorders, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, inflammation and cancer.

BUSINESS WIRE / ME NewsWire MCLEAN, Va. - Thursday, November 1st 2012
Today, on World Food Day, Hilton Worldwideannounced multi-year partnerships with Feeding Americaand The Global FoodBanking Networkto secure food and reduce hunger in communities where it operates around the globe. The collaborations will enable Hilton Worldwide hotels to collect safe, surplus food from conferences and daily food and beverage operations that would otherwise be thrown away and make it available to those in need.
Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network will each connect Hilton Worldwide hotels with local food banks and their networks of local community agencies to facilitate food delivery to school feeding programs, food pantries, soup kitchens, hospices, after-school programs and other community programs that provide food to families in need of nourishing meals. In year one, Hilton Worldwide will pilot food donation systems in New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Orlando and Kansas City in the United States working with Feeding America. Working with The Global FoodBanking Network, the company will provide food to food banks in international markets, with initial efforts in Egypt.
“Each year billions of pounds of food go to waste, while at the same time more than 850 million people do not have enough to eat,” said Jennifer Silberman, vice president of corporate responsibility, Hilton Worldwide. “For one in eight people globally, hunger is a reality, and Hilton Worldwide is committed to securing food resources where we live, work and travel. Partnering with Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network will help us collect safe, unused food from our hotels and distribute it to local people and organizations in need across the globe.”
Pilot activities will focus on optimizing food and beverage operations to minimize food waste, educating hotels on food banking opportunities, developing relationships between hotels and local food banks and establishing systems for donating safe and nutritious food. The partnerships will leverage key learnings from the pilot locations to expand into markets where Feeding America and Global FoodBanking Network are involved and to develop tools and resources that enable Hilton Worldwide’s more than 3,900 properties across 90 countries to connect with food donation opportunities locally.
“The partnership with Hilton Worldwide shows how fighting hunger is a collaborative effort and not something we can solve alone,” said Matt Knott, interim president and chief executive officer of Feeding America, the nation’s leading anti-hunger organization. “We have to continue to find innovative ways to make sure that people have enough food to nourish them.”
Jeffrey D. Klein, president and chief executive officer of The Global FoodBanking Network, said, “Our work with Hilton Worldwide takes a proactive approach to solving hunger and reducing food waste that produces greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming. The Global FoodBanking Network is excited to help Hilton Worldwide deepen its commitment to community through this innovative collaboration.”
Hilton Worldwide will also work with Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network to provide volunteer opportunities with local food bank partners through its Global Team Member Volunteer Program, and will track food donations through LightStay™, its proprietary sustainability measurement system. These donations will further contribute to Hilton Worldwide’s goal of reducing waste output and complement its partnerships with the Global Soap Projectto recycle and donate hotel soap to vulnerable populations and Good360to donate reusable goods to charitable organizations. Since 2008, the properties in the company’s portfolio have reduced waster by 23.3 percent.
Hilton Worldwide’s partnerships with Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network align with the company’s efforts to Travel with Purposeand provide shared value to its business and communities around the world. Together with its corporate global partners, Hilton Worldwide focus on: creating opportunitiesfor individuals to reach their full potential; strengthening communitieswhere it operates; celebrating culturesand the power of travel; and living sustainablythrough the measurement, analysis and improvement of its use of natural resources.
