Episode 552

New to The Street's TV Host Jane King from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio talks with David Luci, the President/CEO of Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ($ACXP). As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical business, ACXP is developing a new class of antibiotics for life-threatening bacterial infections. David updates viewers on the Company's FDA Phase 2 clinical trial on the Ibezapolstat drug, a treatment for patients with Clostridioides difficile Infections (CDI). Based on positive data from Phase 2a and Phase 2b, management is now going forward with the FDA Phase 3. The Company compared its top-line data with the currently used standard-of-care drugs in the marketplace, and Ibezapolstat has impressive positive results. Phases 2a and 2b confirmed that the drug had approximately 94% success with no reinfections. In treated patients, the microbiome bacteria found in the digestive tract shows the bacteria maintaining and restoring itself within those patients after a 10-day treatment. At a recent microbiome conference presentation in Texas, the Company compared logarithmic results from a competitor drug (vancomycin) to its Ibezapolstat drug, showing the differences in the effects on gut microbiome bacteria. Competitor drugs have been used for decades to treat CDI, but the reinfection rates are very high and greatly diminished gut microbiome bacteria. ACXP's Ibezapolstat study results have shown to combat reinfections effectively. Based on the data and other publications regarding the market size for newly discovered and effective treatment of CDI, ACXP believes Ibezapolstat could be a market worth over $1B. Decades-old antibacterial drugs are not working due to changes in the molecular composition of CDI. Thousands of people worldwide die annually, with many catching CDI in hospitals and nursing homes. Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. believes its Ibezapolstat drug is the next generation for effectively treating CDI. Throughout 2024, Investors and others should expect more exciting news about Ibezapolstat and other positive corporate ongoings.

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, Clifford Mapp, an independent technology expert and blockchain pioneer, talks about Dynex (CRYPTO: DNX) ($DNX) with New to The Street's TV Host Jane King. Clifford explains Dynex's technology platform that can provide supercomputing services to everyone and every industry at a fraction of the cost. Dynex offers a decentralized supercomputer platform, disrupting the supercomputing hardware and software legacy industries. Using a neuromorphic blockchain-based algorithm on its DynexSolve Chip, Dynex creates quantum-level computation services that can solve complex problems. Clifford says that neuromorphic networks use logical gateways to process information, mimicking the human brain in collecting and understanding information. Dynex Marketplace is a decentralized platform where anyone can access the system; end-users pay Dynex according to the time needed to process a computational outcome. Generally, Clifford states that it costs about $8 for a 3–5-minute runtime on their system, is very affordable, and results provide valuable data. An automotive company uses Dynex for a virtual reality wind tunnel. Instead of paying millions of dollars for construction, maintenance, and administrative costs for a wind tunnel, the automotive engineers engage Dynex supercomputer services to create cost-effective and timely produced datasets on automotive designs. The medical and pharmaceutical industries can benefit from Dynex, giving information on cancer, genetics, blood, and drug use outcomes. A pharmaceutical company could use the Dynex in a matter of minutes to see data on how the human body maintains itself after a 10-year drug use. The financial industry is another example of an industry that can make immediate computations on stock market forecasting and other financial stats. The Company has an entire staff of professionals to manage and support any clients who need to formulate a problem-solving solution on the system. Dynex Neuromorphic Computing platform is decentralized, allowing for complex computations without expensive infrastructures and providing cost-effective outcomes.

New to The Street's TV Host Jane King is at the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio with Masateru Higashida, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NuZee, Inc. (NUZE) ($NUZE) ("NuZee Coffee"). The Company leads in the co-packing for single-serve coffee formats, helping partners and other companies enter and expand into the single-serve coffee market. NuZee offers small coffee roasters to more prominent global brands, an end-to-end sustainable solution with flexibility and capacity to grow their market segments. Consumers want high-quality coffee, an on-the-go product that NuZee produces and sells globally, "Pour Over" and "Brew Bag" (Tea Bag Style) single-serve coffee. Popularity for the product began in Japan and is now gaining acceptance with US consumers. Masateru explains the Company's single-serve Pour-Over coffee co-branding partnership with Jimmy Butler's BIGFACE Brand. The Company has other co-branding relationships like the one with Stone Brewing, a large US craft beer company. Stone Brewing and NuZee see lots of synergies that can expand both companies' brands. Other opportunities exist globally as the Company evaluates direct marketing and co-branding strategies. Management is lowering costs from the reduced expenditures in fees paid to legal professionals, consultants, and non-performing advertisement firms. Throughout 2024, the Company believes revenues should increase on existing product lines from its sales/marketing campaigns while seeking more co-branding relationships in the US and globally. NuZee is working on new product innovations and will continue to grow its single-serve coffee product, which can be easily portable for travel, offices, and other events.

Girls' sports programs are an essential aspect of the IMG Academy curriculum, with new program offerings to inspire female athletes. Some of the most influential female athletes sit on IMG Academy's "Women in Sports Committee," providing leadership roles and advice to improve girls' sports educational experiences. Offering girls more student loan packages has increased female enrollments and helps maintain retention rates. The efforts proved successful with new sports curricula like the women's volleyball program. Before becoming President of IMG, Tim worked as an executive for the academy through his relationship with Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. In 2020, during COVID, his passion became more evident, and he took on a direct role as president. The academy is always looking to improve the student experience; they engage employees, students, and parents to provide comprehensive suggestions that can significantly benefit all the educational platforms on campus and online. New facilities, sports programs, food services, and student life programs became realities based on those inputs shared with the academy's leaders. The positive ongoings have increased student enrollment and overall student body retention. Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. recently sold the IMG Academy to Hong Kong-based BPEA Equity (BPEA EQT), a private equity firm. BPEA EQT, in partnership with existing portfolio company Nord Anglia Education, can open IMG Academy's sports educational programs to a larger global market. With strong leadership and a commitment to ensuring a unique sports educational experience, IGM Academy attracts some of the best student-athletes to help them excel in their life's journey.
