• HanAll has initiated a Phase III VELOS-4 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanfanercept in dry eye based on the findings from the previous Phase III VELOS-3 study.
• Tanfanercept demonstrated statistically significant improvement on the secondary outcome measure, Schirmer testing of tear volume, from the previous Phase III study.
• The top-line data for the Phase III VELOS-4 study is expected in the second half of 2025.

ROCKVILLE, Md. and SEOUL, South Korea, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HanAll Biopharma Co., Ltd. (KRX: 009420. KS), a global biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering and developing innovative medicines for patients, announced the initiation of a Phase III VELOS-4 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tanfanercept, a novel, topical anti-inflammatory treatment in participants with moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED).

Dry eye disease is a chronic multifactorial disease with a prevalence estimation of 14.5% for the US population^([1]). The available treatments for DED often prove insufficient in managing symptoms, occasionally resulting in visual impairment and ocular inflammation, alongside a low response rate that contributes to discontinuation. Thus, there is an unmet clinical need to develop mechanism-based and disease-modifying treatments.

Tanfanercept is a potentially first-in-class topical anti-inflammatory treatment targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) for the treatment of DED, co-developed with Daewoong Pharmaceutical. TNF is a major cytokine mediating inflammation in DED. Tanfanercept is a molecularly engineered tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) fragment with strong affinity for TNF and resistance to degradation by proteinases.

The Phase III VELOS-4 trial leverages key insights from the concluded Phase III VELOS-3 study. In VELOS-3, tanfanercept showed a statistically significant improvement in the secondary efficacy endpoint of tear volume measured by unanesthesized Schirmer testing in the group of patients treated with tanfanercept compared to the vehicle group at week 8 (p=0.002). Furthermore, a post hoc analysis revealed that a noteworthy proportion of participants in the tanfanercept group (13%) exhibited a Schirmer test improvement of at least 10mm from baseline at week 8, which was also statistically significant (p=0.011) compared to the vehicle group (4%). VELOS-2, a preceding Phase III study, also demonstrated a consistent improvement in Schirmer testing in an ad hoc analysis that subset the population to be similar to that of patients studied in VELOS-3.

The 2020 FDA Draft Guidance on Dry Eye Drug Development includes the proportion of participants with a minimum 10mm increase in the Schirmer test response rate as an acceptable primary efficacy endpoint for approval.

“Initiating the Phase III VELOS-4 trial marks a significant milestone in our commitment to addressing the unmet needs of patients suffering from dry eye disease. With tanfanercept’s promising results in earlier studies and its innovative mechanism targeting TNF, we are hopeful that this novel treatment will offer new hope and relief to those affected by this debilitating condition,” said Sean Jeong, M.D., MBA, CEO of HanAll Biopharma.

Top-line data from the Phase III VELOS-4 trial is anticipated in the second half of 2025.

About VELOS-4

VELOS-4 is a US-based multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of twice-daily tanfanercept ophthalmic solution (0.25%, 1.0%) for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe DED compared to vehicle. The study assesses the proportion of patients who have shown 10mm or more improvement from baseline in an unanesthetized Schirmer test at day 85.

About VELOS-3

VELOS-3 (NCT05109702) is a US-based multicenter, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled Phase III study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of twice-daily tanfanercept (0.25%) for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe DED compared to vehicle. The two primary outcome measures are change from baseline in Central Corneal Staining Score (CCSS) at 8 weeks and change from baseline in Eye Dryness Score (EDS) Assessed by Visual Analogue Scale at 8 weeks. The trial enrolled 260 patients who were randomized in to either vehicle or tanfanercept treatment arm.

About VELOS-2

VELOS-2 (NCT03846453) is a US-based multicenter, randomized, double-masked, and vehicle-controlled Phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of twice-daily tanfanercept (0.25%) ophthalmic solution compared to vehicle in participants with dry eye. The study randomized 637 patients with dry eye to receive either 0.25% tanfanercept eye drops or vehicle to assess the change from baseline in Inferior Corneal Staining Score (ICSS) and Ocular Discomfort Score (ODS).

CANNES, France, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Campari returns to the red carpet on 14^th-25^th May 2024. The iconic red bitter brand continues its role as Official Partner to the Festival de Cannes for the third consecutive year.

Festival de Cannes is one of the most anticipated, watched, and glamorous film festivals worldwide. Campari, meanwhile, has a longstanding connection with the world of cinema, having supported the industry and championed its film-making talent for the last 40 years. 

It’s apt, then, that Campari has chosen the opening of the 77^th Festival to launch its We Are Cinema campaign. Its role is to acknowledge human stories as the inspiration for some of the world’s greatest cinema. Building on Campari’s role as curator of aperitivo occasions, Campari celebrates those real-life moments that become remarkable stories. Viewers of the new campaign can expect a melody of cinematic moments artistically brought to life and told through the vivid red lens of Campari’s creativity.

As both festival and campaign unfurl, Campari will again host and promote a series of events from the Campari Lounge in the Palais de Festival, over-looking the famous red-carpet. This year, the brand also introduces Hyde Beach by Campari, a new iconic space on Boulevard de Croisette, where stars and guests will be welcomed, and events hosted throughout the festival.

Amongst their exciting programme, Campari is honoured to announce both new and returning collaborations:

Cole Walliser will be based in the Campari Lounge, interviewing guests and celebrities. The director and celebrity host, famous for the behind-the-scenes GlamBOT clips, will eagerly tune into his entertaining dispatches covering the red-carpet action from the lounge.

Campari is also rejoining forces with The Hollywood Reporter, recording a special festival edition of the Awards Chatter podcast with Kevin Costner – director, writer, producer and star of Horizon: An American Saga. Costner will join THR’s Executive Editor of Awards, Scott Feinberg, live to talk about his returning to the big screen Western, premiering at this year’s Festival de Cannes.

One of the most anticipated events has to be the Official Cannes After Party for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. During the festival Campari will host this star-studded event at Hyde Beach by Campari in celebration of the latest instalment of this epic franchise.

Campari will also partner for the third year with Breaking Through The Lens, a non-profit organisation which empowers women in film by facilitating access to vital funding. Together, they will host the ‘Crossing Borders’ gala to celebrate women who have transcended cultural borders. The evening will include a panel discussion with globally renowned actress, Diane Kruger, who will be joined by other industry figures – including Campari Group Head of Marketing, Julka Villa – to share their own unique experiences.

The 77^th Festival also marks the debut of Campari’s partnership with Soho House, to host a one-of-a-kind creative film competition. Supporting and honouring emerging film talent, it focuses on the elements of life that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, similar to the role of Campari in mixology.

Campari is more than an aperitif. With such unmistakable characteristics, the brand has long been a source of passionate inspiration. Since its birth, Campari has always been at the forefront of cocktail culture, inspiring passion in bartenders across the world. With Camparino in Galleria, master mixologists, serving up their famed cocktails – including Negroni and Campari Spritz – the Campari Lounge and Hyde Beach by Campari are the perfect places to raise a toast to inspiring stories and the talent behind them.

Campari Group Head of Marketing, Julka Villa comments: “We are delighted to return to Festival de Cannes, this year bringing our passion for cinema and stories through our global We Are Cinema campaign to the iconic Festival setting. With a strong and enduring legacy in the cinema world, creativity and passion remain at the heart of everything we do. This year, we look forward to continuing to bring this to our audience through a programme of remarkable moments throughout the Festival.”

New users who download the Luckin Coffee app can enjoy their first Luckin Black Cup for only $0.99.

Sumatra Gayo, “Treasure of the Tropical Rainforest”

Sumatra Gayo, celebrated as the “Treasure of the Tropical Rainforest”, originates from the Aceh Gayo region in Sumatra, Indonesia. Flourishing at elevations between 1200 and 1800 metres, these beans benefited from the fertile volcanic soil and warm, humid climate of the area. The Aceh Gayo region is also part of Luckin Coffee’s Global Bean Hunting Initiative.

Crafted using traditional Indonesian wet hulling methods, this series presents a clean, herbal fragrance and a rich, velvety texture. Sugary notes of fruit, caramel and cedar linger, offering coffee lovers a truly gratifying brew.

Discover Luckin Black Cup with WBC Champion

The Luckin Black Cup is crafted under the guidance of the WBC champions team, through Luckin Coffee’s “Global Bean Hunting Initiative”. Spearheaded by the WBC champions team, this initiative seeks premium coffee beans from renowned regions and estates worldwide, where the team ensures quality at every step.

In April 2024, Luckin Coffee invited Mr. Boram Um, the 2023 WBC Champion and Luckin’s Chief Coffee Master, to Singapore to share about Luckin Coffee’s SOE creations – from bean to cup. Mr Um made history as the first World Barista Champion from Brazil and hails from a family of coffee plantation owners in Brazil. Taking on the role of Luckin’s newest Chief Coffee Master, he hopes to bring fresh perspectives as both, a grower and a professional barista, to the coffee industry. He also aims to deliver a truly delightful experience to consumers by elevating coffee quality.

In the exclusive workshop, Mr. Um explained how factors like soil composition, climate condition and altitude shape the unique flavour profiles of these speciality coffee beans and demonstrated how to explore the charm of coffee through professional cupping while also showcasing Luckin Coffee’s Global Bean Hunting Initiative.  

In 2023, Luckin Coffee launched its “Global Bean Hunting Initiative”, spearheaded by the WBC champions team, to seek premium coffee beans from renowned regions and estates worldwide. It is involved in aspects of cultivation, harvesting, and processing to ensure high quality at every step.

During the workshop, Mr. Um guided the participants in coffee cupping, tasting the different flavours of Luckin Coffee’s SOE beans such as Gesha, Hambella, and the newly introduced Sumatra Gayo beans. Attendees were impressed by the fruity and floral notes of Gesha, the complexity of Hambella, and the rich, velvety texture of Sumatra Gayo.

What’s more, Luckin Coffee’s beans have won the Gold Medal in the IIAC International Coffee Tasting Competition for five consecutive years from 2018 to 2022. Its Yirgacheffe SOE beans have also been awarded the IIAC Platinum Medal twice.
