CORRECTION: Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
In the release issued under the same headline on May 10, 2018 by Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq:DFFN), please note that in the Consolidated Balance Sheets table, Cash and cash equivalents row, under March 31, 2018, the figure should read $16,199,481 rather than $6,199,481 as previously stated. The corrected release follows.
*Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Provides Business Update*
· *Patient screening and enrollment are underway in Phase 3 inoperable GBM brain cancer trial*
· *Key U.S. Patent Issued*
· *Clinical trial preparations are ongoing for Phase 2 trial with TSC in stroke*
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. *(Nasdaq:DFFN) (“Diffusion” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on extending the life expectancy of cancer patients using the novel small molecule trans sodium crocetinate (TSC) in conjunction with standard radiation and chemotherapy, reports financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and provides a business update.
“During the first quarter patients continued to be screened and enrolled into our lead clinical program, the INvestigation of TSC Against Cancerous Tumors (INTACT) trial for the treatment of inoperable glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM,” said David Kalergis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Diffusion Pharmaceuticals. “In January the first patients were dosed in this 236-patient Phase 3 study. The protocol calls for half of patients to be enrolled in the treatment arm, which is standard of care radiation and chemotherapy, plus TSC, and half to be enrolled in the control arm, which is standard of care alone. The design of INTACT is based on an almost four-fold increase in overall survival at two years demonstrated in inoperable GBM patients in the preceding Phase 2 study. We are hopeful that similar survival will be demonstrated in our pivotal Phase 3 study and that TSC will provide an effective treatment for these patients, for whom current options are limited.”
The Company continues to prepare for a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with TSC in acute stroke. The contemplated study, based on an abstract that was presented in January at the International Stroke Conference, calls for the administration of TSC by specially-trained Emergency Medical Technicians to ambulance-transported patients within two hours of the onset of a suspected acute stroke. The in-ambulance administration could potentially overcome the current severe timing delay in administering therapy to stroke patients. The trial, which has been named the Pre-Hospital Ambulance Stroke Trial - TSC (PHAST-T), is expected to commence in late 2018, subject to funding.
Diffusion is pleased to announce the granting of U.S. patent number 9,950,067, which expands the Company’s coverage of the use of TSC and related compounds in cancer therapy. The claims of the new U.S. patent relate to the treatment of a number of cancer types such as brain cancer (including glioblastoma) and pancreatic cancer, using TSC in conjunction with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. “This new U.S. patent further strengthens our IP portfolio in cancer treatment and is relevant to our technology in the Phase 3 study,” stated General Counsel and IP Counsel Thomas Byrne.
“Intellectual property is an important component of our growth strategy, and we are pleased this patent has issued,” Mr. Kalergis added. “We are expecting additional patent allowances in the near future that will further augment our IP.”
*Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018*
We had cash and cash equivalents of $16.2 million as of March 31, 2018. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through June 2019.
We recognized $1.8 million in research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared with $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was mainly attributable to a $1.1 million increase in expense related to our Phase 3 GBM trial, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in manufacturing costs.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $1.5 million compared with $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Salaries and wages increased by $0.2 million due to the increase in headcount, which was offset by a decrease in professional fees of approximately $0.3 million.
In connection with the private placement of our Series A preferred stock and common stock warrants in March of 2017, we determined the warrants to be classified as liabilities and subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. As a result, we recognized $10.2 million in excess fair value of the common stock warrants over the gross proceeds from our private placement. We also recognized $2.9 million in placement agent commission and other offering costs. In total, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a $12.9 million expense for the change in fair value of our common stock warrant liabilities, which was primarily attributable to the increase in the market price for our Common Stock. There were no such charges in 2018 as the warrants were reclassified into equity in November of 2017.
*About Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Inc.*
Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on improving patient outcomes in unmet medical needs using its novel small molecule trans sodium crocetinate (TSC). Diffusion is developing TSC for use in conditions where hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) is known to diminish the effectiveness of standard of care (SOC) treatments. In oncology, TSC targets the cancer's hypoxic micro-environment, re-oxygenating treatment-resistant tissue and making the cancer cells more vulnerable to the therapeutic effects of SOC treatments without the apparent occurrence of any serious side effects. In non-oncology indications, therapeutic benefit would be achieved directly through re-oxygenation of the tissue threatened with cell death from hypoxia.
The INvestigation of TSC Against Cancerous Tumors (INTACT) Phase 3 randomized, controlled registration trial with TSC and SOC chemotherapy and radiation, compared with SOC alone in 236 patients who have been newly diagnosed with inoperable glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain cancer, is underway. In this study, TSC with concomitant temozolomide is being assigned to the first 8 subjects enrolled, and these patients will undergo radiation therapy plus temozolomide and TSC treatment through the normal six-week RT treatment period. During the subsequent temozolomide treatment period these subjects will be assigned TSC at ascending doses and studied in parallel for 2 full 28-day cycles. The Data Safety Monitoring Board will examine the resultant data and based on their observations may recommend the continued use of the starting TSC dose or another dose for those patients remaining to be randomized into the study.
A Phase 2 TSC clinical trial was completed in the second quarter of 2015 and evaluated 59 patients with newly diagnosed GBM. This open-label, historically controlled study demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile for TSC combined with SOC, including a 37% improvement in overall survival compared with the control group at two years. A particularly strong efficacy signal was seen in the subset of inoperable patients where survival of TSC-treated patients at two years was nearly four-fold higher compared with the controls.
Due to its novel mechanism of action, TSC has safely re-oxygenated a range of tumor types in preclinical and clinical studies. Diffusion believes the therapeutic potential of TSC is not limited to specific tumors, thereby making it potentially useful to improve SOC treatments of other life-threatening cancers. Additional studies under consideration include Phase 2 trials in pancreatic cancer and brain metastases, with study initiation subject to receipt of additional funding or collaborative partnering. The Company also believes that TSC has potential application in other indications involving hypoxia including stroke, where the Company recently announced its Pre-Hospital Ambulance Stroke Trial - TSC (PHAST-T) study to be conducted in co-operation with the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Virginia (UVA) to test TSC in stroke patients in an in-ambulance clinical trial setting.

Two Northrop Realty commercials receive Emmy nominations, Telly Awards
Northrop Realty represents buyers and sellers of residential real estate in the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan regions
CLARKSVILLE, Md. (PRWEB) May 29, 2018
Two TV commercials for Northrop Realty, A Long & Foster Company, were nominated for Emmy Awards by the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Both commercials, created by Baltimore ad agency Kapowza, also received three Telly Awards each.
The awards recognize 30-second commercial “Blue Box” and 15-second commercial “Club Bed.” “Blue Box” depicts a couple sharing significant life moments—becoming engaged, purchasing a home and starting a family—followed by the on-screen tagline, “We sell houses, you make them homes.” “Club Bed” shows a woman trying to fall asleep in a bedroom flashing with light from an exterior neon sign and quaking from loud music, under the tagline, “Time for a new place?”
“Both commercials are remarkably simple but carry the power to connect with audiences and express how we at Northrop Realty can help our customers find a solution to their real estate needs,” President and CEO Creig Northrop said. “We represent homebuyers and sellers, but beyond that, we help usher people from one life stage to another as it relates to their living spaces. Sometimes it’s starting a family; other times it’s simply finding a quiet place for a more peaceful lifestyle.”
The 39th annual Telly Awards honor excellence in video and television. Northrop Realty’s “Blue Box” commercial received a gold Telly Award in the “writing for local TV” category, silver in the “real estate for local TV” category and silver in the “directing for local TV” category. “Club Bed” received a silver award in the “writing for local TV” category, silver in the “directing for local TV” category and bronze in the “real estate for local TV” category.
Similarly, Emmy Awards recognize premier television productions. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter, is a nonprofit professional organization dedicated to advancing the television industry in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Hemp, Inc. Applauds Illinois as Industrial Hemp Bill Now Awaits Governor's Signature
SPRING HOPE, NC, May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today the company applauds the Illinois House for sending the governor a measure legalizing industrial hemp. The House voted 106-3 on May 23, 2018, to allow hemp cultivation for commercial use. Senate Bill 2298 creates the Industrial Hemp Act and provides that “cannabis” does not include industrial hemp as defined by state law.
Rebecca Osland, the Alliance’s director of government relations, said, “There could be a whole [new] set of industries that could grow up around this,” according to Chicago Tonight. The cannabidiol (CBD) market is projected to grow to a $2.1 billion market in consumer sales by 2020, according to The Hemp Business Journal.
Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin said, “We are excited to see Illinois take one step closer toward legalization of industrial hemp, which can be used for a myriad of purposes including in clothing and food products. The legalization of hemp is a trend that is sweeping the nation, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement.”
As Illinois and other states move toward adopting hemp legislation, companies seeking to enter or further develop their footprint in the industrial hemp marketplace are aligning with Hemp, Inc. for the company’s proven expertise and state-of-the-art hemp processing and manufacturing infrastructure in Spring Hope, North Carolina. Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot hemp processing and manufacturing facility, on 9 acres, has been operational since August 2017.
Hemp, Inc.’s consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc., a scientific research development company, entails that Hemp, Inc. will provide consulting services in an effort to help HQ Global Education, Inc. expand into the hemp CBD industry. In addition, Hemp, Inc. also recently announced that the company encourages large-scale companies to secure their hemp biomass now before Hemp, Inc.’s supply runs out.
Hemp, Inc. also recently announced that its strategic hemp growing partner Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc., had completed installation of the solar and wind-powered energy system for its 500-acre Veteran Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona. The Veteran Village Kins Community is designed to grow hemp and produce CBD products to benefit veterans as well as generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and individual veterans living in the community.

Dozens of master growers, from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada and, of course, Arizona, companies and organizations have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on the 300 fenced acres in Arizona as part of "The Great United American Hemp Project." Interested master growers, from around the country, should contact Project Manager, Dwight Jory at ecogold22@gmail.com.

Hemp, Inc. has announced that its strategic growing partner, "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. With the solar equipment in place, the site's solar power operation is now complete.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the "Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.," said, "We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together." In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40x40-ft organic vegetable gardens are ready for seasonal planting, according to Jory. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval. "We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans," said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing "Veteran Village Kins Community" become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500 acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The "Veteran Village Kins Community" site plan also includes a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, CBD testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.
"As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America's industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with 'Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.' being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape," said Perlowin. "As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It's a big part of our mission to give back."
According to Perlowin, seven "master hemp growers" from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada and, of course, Arizona have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin says he'll call this "The Great United American Hemp Project."

Donna Meade Brings Back Old Dominion Barn Dance to Hopewell, Virginia
Donna Meade, a former Mercury-Polygram recording artist and the widow of country music singer Jimmy Dean, is recreating the Old Dominion Barn Dance in Hopewell, VA.
HOPEWELL, Va. (PRWEB) May 30, 2018
Donna Meade, a former Mercury-Polygram recording artist and the widow of country music singer Jimmy Dean, is recreating the Old Dominion Barn Dance in Hopewell, VA.
“I believe that good, wholesome, traditional country music will never go away,” said Meade. “The Barn Dance is a beloved and legendary show that rivaled the Grand Ole Opry in its heyday, and an important part of Virginia's history and culture. As long as I am able I hope to keep it going, and then pass the torch along to the next generation of performers.”
The Old Dominion Barn Dance is in its second year at the restored art-deco Beacon Theatre in Hopewell, where it gives five performances a year. On May 19, the group gave a happy heart-warming performance for fans, who came out despite the heavy rain that had been pounding the east coast. Appearing along with the local cast was Nashville performer Johnny Rodriguez.
This revived version of the Old Dominion Barn Dance is following the original variety show format with a series of performers, alternating stalwart old-timers with up-and-coming new talents whom Meade is promoting. There was also a short comedy sketch with Lee Blasingame and some chit-chat, including the recognition of steel guitarist and musical director Ryland Tinnell's birthday.
After a short video introduction to the history of the Old Dominion Barn Dance, local TV veteran Gene Cox took the stage as host and emcee. He introduced Meade, who appeared wearing a barn-red sequined gown. She greeted the audience like a group of old friends: “Howdy, we’ve got us a barn and we’ve got us some dancers….” Her remarks segued into the opening act: the Old Dominion Barn Dance Cloggers, six young performers who tapped their toes, whirled and twirled with petticoats flying for two quick numbers.
Veteran vocalist Danny Menzies twanged his rhythm guitar and sang an old favorite, “Among My Souvenirs,” made famous by Connie Francis in 1959. Next came another veteran, Lynne Carnes, who gave a strong rendition of “Pride,” a classic country ballad from 1980 by Ray Price. Mike Toney, guitarist and singer, gave a rendition of the Travis Tritt song “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” combining classic country with a rock-and-roll beat.
The first of the younger performers was Christy Thompson, who joined the Barn Dance this year. With a powerhouse voice that rose to the rafters, she sang a rendition of Martina McBride's “A Broken Wing."
Daniel Menzies, the youngest member of the cast and son of Danny Menzies, sang Kenny Roger’s “The Gambler” with the audience joining in on the chorus. Sam McCoig sang and yodeled to the tune of "In the Jailhouse Now” and “You Never Even Called Me by My Name.”
Featured among the young artists was rising national star Tony Jackson, who has several Top 40 hits to his credit. Jackson sang four songs, including his new release, “Ain’t No App for That,” which Meade helped to write.
At the end of the show Meade introduced a special guest, 95-year-old Rose Lee Maphis, one of the original stars of the Old Dominion Barn Dance. She and Meade sang the closing song, "You Are My Sunshine,” honoring Mary Arlene Higdon, known as "Sunshine Sue," who created and hosted the original Old Dominion Barn Dance.
About the Old Dominion Barn Dance:
Virginia’s version of the Grand Ole Opry, the Old Dominion Barn Dance was originally produced at the Lyric Theater in Richmond, Virginia, from 1946 to 1957. The two-hour country music show was performed before a live audience and broadcast on WRVA radio, reaching 38 states and parts of Canada. Donna Meade, who had her eye on the Barn Dance for several years, bought the trademark in 2014, started producing shows at the Henrico Theater in 2015 and moved the show to Hopewell, VA, in 2017.
Country music fans can see performances of the Old Dominion Barn Dance at Hopewell’s Beacon Theatre August 18, 2018, with special guest Crystal Gayle; November 10 with Sammy Kershaw and December 9 with Bill Anderson. The August and November shows feature both a matinee and an evening performance.
To complement your visit to an Old Dominion Barn Dance show, you may wish to visit nearby Weston Plantation, shop in All Manor of Things Boutique at the plantation, visit General Grant’s cabin at City Point and sample the local cuisine at the new Saucy’s Barbecue in downtown Hopewell, VA, for sliders, tacos, spicy cue balls and a selection of craft beers.
For more details on musical performances and entertainment in Hopewell and Prince George, VA, call a tourism advisor at the Hopewell, VA tourism office: 1-800-863-8687. The Hopewell and Prince George Virginia Visitor Welcome Center is located at 4100 Oakland Boulevard in Hopewell, at exit 9A on I-295 south of Richmond. Reported by PRWeb 5 hours ago.
