enVVeno Medical Reports Successful Completion of First VenoValve Surgery for U.S. Pivotal Trial

October 22, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

  • 75 Patient Trial Underway to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of the VenoValve as a Potential Treatment for Severe Deep Venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
  • Severe CVI Impacts Approximately 2.4 million U.S. Patients with No Current Effective Treatment Options

enVVeno Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:NVNO) (“enVVeno” or the “Company”), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of venous disease, today announced that the first VenoValve surgery in the Company’s SAVVE U.S. pivotal trial for the VenoValve® has been successfully completed. The surgery was performed by Dr. Adriana Laser, associate professor of surgery at Albany Medical College and a vascular surgeon with Albany Med Vascular Surgery. The patient has been discharged from the hospital.

“It is an honor to be the first surgeon in the U.S. to implant a device which has the potential to help the millions of people that suffer from the debilitating impacts of Chronic Venous Insufficiency,” said Dr. Laser. “Although the name Chronic Venous Insufficiency may not be familiar to the general public, deep venous CVI has been frustrating the vascular community and our CVI patients for decades, and we are hopeful that the VenoValve will be the first safe and effective treatment option for the disease.”

The VenoValve is intended to restore proper directional blood flow for patients with CVI of the deep veins of the leg. CVI occurs when natural valves inside of the veins fail, causing blood to flow in the wrong direction (reflux), and creating increased pressure inside of the veins of the leg (venous hypertension). CVI can cause the leg to swell, and blood vessels to break, resulting in discoloration, pain, and the breakdown of the skin leading to venous ulcers (open sores) which are difficult to treat.

“Today marks a historical milestone for our Company, having had the first patient treated in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal trial for the VenoValve”, said enVVeno Medical CEO Robert Berman. “We would like to thank Dr. Laser for agreeing to be a part of our study and for treating the first patient”.

The SAVVE (Surgical Anti-reflux Venous Valve Endoprosthesis) U.S. pivotal trial is a prospective, non-blinded, single arm, multi-center trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the VenoValve to improve lower leg blood flow, alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life for patients suffering from CVI caused by dysfunctional valves in the deep veins of the lower leg. The Company expects to enroll 75 patients at up to 20 centers throughout the U.S.

The device used for the pivotal trial is the same as was used in the successful VenoValve first-in-human trial. Primary endpoints for the U.S. pivotal trial include: the absence of Material Adverse Events (MAEs) in 26% or less of the patients at 30 days post-VenoValve implantation, for the primary safety endpoint; and improvement of reflux of at least 30% at six months following VenoValve surgery, as the primary effectiveness endpoint. MAEs are defined as the composite of all-cause mortality, deep wound infection, major bleeding, ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or pulmonary embolism. Improvement of VCSS and VAS scores are also included in the SAVVE study as secondary endpoints. The Company hopes to have topline safety and/or efficacy data from the SAVVE study by the end of 2022.

Patients suffering from lower leg swelling, pain, non-healing leg sores, enlarged veins, and/or brownish or blueish skin discoloration – who may also have leg pain when standing or walking – may be candidates for the SAVVE trial. Interested patients can learn more about the SAVVE trial and find a study center near them by visiting www.venovalve.com.

CVI is a debilitating condition that can make everyday tasks such as bathing, sleeping and walking extremely difficult. The Company estimates that approximately 2.4 million people in the U.S. have the type of CVI for which the VenoValve is being studied. There are currently no effective treatments for patients with deep venous CVI resulting from malfunctioning valves.

The Company recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Breakthrough Device Designation status to enVVeno Medical for the VenoValve.

About enVVeno Medical Corporation

enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based medical device company focused on the development of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care in the treatment of venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class implant being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). In healthy patients, valves inside the veins of the leg assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. Affecting approximately 2.4 million people in the United States, CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Implanted into the femoral vein, the VenoValve is designed to act as a one-way valve, to help restore proper blood flow in the leg. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the SAVVE pivotal study with data expected in late 2022.

The Valais innovation cluster now has its own facilities located in the heart of the famous Hospitality Management School.

The global Spark innovation sphere by Les Roches has grown rapidly in a year, attracting important partners. Spark is specifically aimed at supporting promising projects in the field of hospitality through its platforms deployed on the academic institution’s Crans-Montana campus in Switzerland and the Marbella campus in Spain. The Valais innovation cluster now has its own facilities located in the heart of the famous Hospitality Management School.

In June 2020, Les Roches and the Association of Communes of Crans-Montana (ACCM) announced that they were joining forces to create an innovation cluster to develop the future of hospitality. Spark, a global sphere dedicated to fostering innovation – particularly among stakeholders in the hotel, tourism, luxury and catering sectors – was subsequently formed and is part of the region’s economic development strategy which is attracting an increasing number of start-ups.

Spark offers consulting, research and support services for projects with advanced technological and digital resources. The sphere also provides pre-incubation and incubation services for young companies with innovative ideas.

The Spark ecosystem now brings together a significant network of experts both locally and internationally. More than 35 partner companies are already working together in the Swiss hub on large-scale projects, such as the collaboration with Nevomo on the definition and development of customer experience applied to hyperloop and MidRail transportation.

The world of the Spark Hospitality Digital Center is composed of four completely redesigned spaces. Two of them are designed to facilitate collaborative work and creativity: the Development Centre and the Incubation Center. The other two serve as experimental laboratories: the Media Center for communication, and the Test Center for virtual reality projects.

Finally, Spark is also integrated into the entire academic program, placing innovation and entrepreneurship at the heart of the Les Roches school lifestyle; and inviting students, alumni and industry partners to work together to develop and test new hospitality solutions in live labs on campus. Students have the opportunity to work on real business consulting and academic challenges confronting authentic business or industrial cases provided by the industrial partners.

Christine Demen-Meier, Les Roches Managing Director Worldwide, who initiated the project, says: “The innovation center is an educational tool that we have placed at the core of our programs. It is a driver of inspiration and emulation in terms of creativity, involving real academic challenges. Les Roches aims to encourage an entrepreneurial and innovative spirit in our students. This is a crucial teaching objective to achieve in order to train those who will be the future leaders of tomorrow’s hospitality industry.”

Spark, Innovation Sphere by Les Roches is unique in the hospitality sector internationally. This specificity complements an academic sector where Switzerland is recognized for the excellence of its hotel schools.

Pablo Garcia, Director of Spark Crans-Montana, concludes: “Spark and Les Roches, with its partners, teachers and students, are already creating the future of the hotel industry, providing concrete and operational solutions to a sector undergoing a complete digital transformation.”

Square 9 Softworks® Expands Digital Transformation Essentials with New Solution for Tax Compliance

October 15, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

GlobalSearch for Tax Compliance helps organizations securely collect, store, manage, and retrieve important tax information

Square 9 Softworks®, developers of award-winning enterprise content management (ECM) and digital transformation solutions, is proud to announce the expansion of Digital Transformation Essentials with a new solution for staying in compliance with Federal, State, and Local tax mandates.

Businesses are required to collect federally mandated documents for tax reporting purposes. This includes Reseller Certificates, Tax Exempt certifications, and the federal W-9 for collecting reporting information from independent contractors. Businesses who pay vendors or contractors $600 or more during a tax year are required by law to report these payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using a Form 1099-MISC. Organizations in violation of the mandates surrounding collecting and retaining these critical tax documents are subject to penalties and additional withholding taxes.

The Tax Compliance solution available in Digital Transformation Essentials includes pre-built, downloadable W-9 web forms that make collecting completed W-9s fast and simple for any business, regardless of their size or industry. As part of Digital Transformation Essentials, the new Tax Compliance offering provides the secure collection of tax documents with permission-based access and retrieval of sensitive information in a SOC, 1, SOC 2, and HIPAA compliant cloud repository. To further protect and secure information, the Tax Compliance solution provides for the encrypted transfer and storage of these documents as well as audit trail logs of each user by date.

“We realized there is an opportunity to help businesses simplify their tasks related to managing their Form 1099-MISC, Form W-9, and Tax Exempt Certificates,” said Stephen Young, CEO of Square 9 Softworks. “Our goal is to help businesses simplify common tasks by digitally transforming inefficient processes. By developing a solution that checks and manages tax form status and then securely collects vendor and contractor W-9’s through a web-driven process, organizations will find it easier, faster, and more secure to get business done,” said Young.

With the release of Digital Transformation Essentials and GlobalSearch for Tax Compliance, Square 9 remains committed to feedback within its user community to ensure its continued focus on customer innovation. For more information, please visit https://info.square-9.com/tax-compliance

Delphia CEO Andrew Peek’s Alternatives Newsletter Reflects Shift Towards Retail Investors

October 15, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

This may well be the golden age of alternatives thanks to the relentless popularity of Bitcoin, NFTs, and the more prosaic private equity and venture capital. Last year Preqin predicted AUM for alts would hit $17 trillion by 2025, a 60% increase from $10.74 trillion at the end of 2020.1 Much of this growth is being driven by the big institutional players, but there’s growing interest from retail investors seeking greater portfolio diversification and higher returns.

Andrew Peek, CEO of Delphia, recently launched a Substack newsletter named Alt Class to address the growing interest and information needs of smaller retail investors. His approach focuses on providing individual investors with the knowledge they need to make appropriate decisions about their own portfolio allocations.

“Institutions are used to including alternatives in portfolio construction”, comments Peek. “They’re used to marrying it with real estate, equities, and bonds. That’s simply not something that’s being discussed right now at the retail level.

“There’s the traditional notion that a good portfolio is 60% equities to 40% percent bonds. This is undoubtedly changing now, but there’s a wider conversation that’s yet to be had regarding allocations of alternatives. For example, there’s little information or guidance on how much cryptocurrency would be appropriate for a typical retail investor or what an overall alternatives allocation target should look like.”

According to Preqin’s aforementioned report, average allocation to alternatives sits at 27% for pensions and 29% for endowments. In stark contrast, retail investors are allocating just 5% of their portfolio to alts. The implication is that retail investors may be missing out on the potential benefits of this rapidly-expanding sector. It’s an issue that’s already on the radar of the SEC who expanded the definition of “accredited investor” in August 2020 and expects total individual investable assets to rise from $70tn in 2018 to $106tn in 2025.2

While this change will affect a relatively small number of wealthy individuals who are now able to achieve accreditation, a more pressing issue is broadening access to the wider retail investor community.

Peek’s weekly newsletter will provide subscribers with exclusive in-depth analysis of the latest alternatives trends. Topics already covered have included fine wine and sneakers, with coverage of private equity, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and NFTs already in the pipeline.

“Alternative investments all require significant research and understanding before you part with any capital”, explains Peek. “That’s where Alt Class can help by providing regular updates and in-depth analysis on different alternative investments. We make it easier for retail investors to get up to speed faster and make investment decisions which are right for your portfolio.”

As well as being a serial entrepreneur and angel investor, Peek is no stranger to championing the smaller retail investor. He recently founded Delphia, an app-based investment platform that uses machine learning to make predictions across a large breadth of US equities. While Delphia runs on commercial data today, soon retail investors will be able to invest both their investment capital and their personal data, which Delphia hopes will generate Wall Street-beating returns.

“I co-founded Delphia because I’m passionate about levelling the playing field for retail investors”, adds Peek. “Our work focuses on making quantitative hedge fund strategies available to retail investors for free. By pooling data on things like Amazon purchase histories, Robinhood trading data, and social media activity, it’s possible to help retail investors compete against the big institutional players if we act as a collective.”

Tech-driven innovators like Delphia, combined with SEC involvement in broadening access,

may well herald a brand-new age for alternative investments. And perhaps more importantly, this time there’s a place at the table reserved for retail investors.

Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club announces NEA Jazz Master & Master Saxophonist CHARLES LLOYD playing with 6x-GRAMMY® Nominated Pianist GERALD CLAYTON, Multi-GRAMMY® Nominated Drummer ERIC HARLAND, and Talented Bassist HARISH RAGHAVAN on October 29, 30 and 31.

NEA Jazz Master & Master Saxophonist CHARLES LLOYD, now in his eighth decade, has never sounded better. The depth of his sound reflects a lifetime of experience. Charles Lloyd concerts and recordings are events of pristine beauty and elegance, full of intensely felt emotion and passion that touches deep inside the heart. This is not entertainment, but the powerful uncorrupted expression of beauty through music.

  • JAZZWISE said this of Master Saxophonist Charles Lloyd, “Lloyd is one of the greats, rather like Joan Miro in modern art, he has no peer save himself. Music of total transport and delight.”
  • THE NEW YORK TIMES stated, “Mr. Lloyd has come up with a strange and beautiful distillation of the American experience, part abandoned and wild, part immensely controlled and sophisticated.”

6x-GRAMMY® Nominated Pianist GERALD CLAYTON searches for honest expression in every note he plays. Expansion has become part of Clayton’s artistic identity. His GRAMMY® Nominations include “Best Improvised Jazz Solo” as well as “Best Jazz Instrumental Composition” and “Best Jazz Instrumental Album”.

Multi-GRAMMY® Nominated Drummer ERIC HARLAND is the most in-demand drummer of his generation. He has already been featured on over 400 recordings with various artists.

Bassist HARISH RAGHAVAN appears regularly on the international festival circuit, including throughout more than 100 countries on nearly every continent. THE NEW YORK TIMES called Raghavan, “One of the most exciting young bassists in jazz.”

“Charles Lloyd is a legendary saxophone player. He is one of the greatest jazz musicians alive today and we are so excited he is performing at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club with such a talented group of jazz artists,” said Suzanne Bresette, Managing Director, Programming at Jimmy’s Jazz & Blues Club. “Gerald Clayton is exceptional – he will be Jimmy’s third GRAMMY® Nominated Pianist to play our new Steinway & Sons Piano – and our audiences are enthusiastically waiting for this jazz foursome to put on an outstanding show!”
