    Smarter Air & Electrical Announces Enhancements to Core Air Conditioning and Electrical Services Across South East Queensland

    October 27, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Smarter Air & Electrical, a South East Queensland-based air conditioning and electrical contractor, has announced enhancements to its core service offerings, reflecting a continued commitment to quality, transparency, and long-term customer satisfaction. The company, which services Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Redlands, Ipswich, North Brisbane, and the Sunshine Coast, has expanded its service processes to deliver greater efficiency, more transparent communication, and stronger aftercare support for residential and commercial clients.

    The development is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to refine its services in response to customer feedback and industry changes. Since its establishment in 2019, Smarter Air & Electrical has become known for ducted air conditioning installations, split system solutions, servicing, repairs, replacements, and a range of electrical services. With over 480 verified five-star reviews, the business has positioned itself as one of the most trusted names in the region.

    According to co-owner Davis Row, the recent enhancements were designed to improve both the installation and service experience. “From the beginning, Smarter Air & Electrical has aimed to provide consistent workmanship and open communication. By enhancing our service processes, we are reinforcing those values while meeting the needs of a growing customer base. These changes will ensure that every project, no matter the size, is delivered with the highest level of professionalism and care,” Row said.

    Among the updated features of the company’s services is a stronger emphasis on upfront transparency. Fixed, itemised quotes have long been part of the business model, but the process has been further refined to ensure customers receive comprehensive details before work begins. This improvement reduces uncertainty and provides clients with a clear understanding of costs, inclusions, and expectations.

    Another key element of the enhanced services is the focus on aftercare. Customers now receive expanded post-installation walkthroughs, which include not only a demonstration of controls but also detailed guidance on filter care, zoning management, and scheduling. This approach has been welcomed by homeowners seeking reassurance that they can manage their new systems effectively.

    The business continues to differentiate itself through in-house installation crews serving Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Unlike many contractors that rely heavily on subcontractors, Smarter Air & Electrical ensures consistency and accountability by employing its own technicians. This operational model has been maintained as part of the service enhancements, guaranteeing that workmanship standards remain aligned with the company’s values.

    In addition to installation improvements, Smarter Air & Electrical has reinforced its servicing and maintenance programs. Technicians now provide more comprehensive reporting on system performance, enabling customers to make informed decisions about ongoing care. Preventative maintenance remains a cornerstone of the company’s approach, aimed at improving efficiency, reducing running costs, and extending the lifespan of equipment.

    The company’s unique selling points, including its exclusive partnerships with leading HVAC brands, remain central to the enhancements. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Dealer, Smarter Air & Electrical has access to advanced systems and training that provide customers with reliable products tailored to Queensland’s climate. These brand partnerships ensure that the company continues to deliver durable, energy-efficient systems supported by manufacturer backing.

    Co-owner Phillip Crawley explained that the service refinements are part of a broader vision for the business. “Customer satisfaction has always been the measure of success for Smarter Air & Electrical. By building on our core strengths, we are ensuring that customers continue to receive services that are both reliable and forward-looking. The enhancements reflect our goal of being a trusted provider that communities can rely on long into the future,” Crawley said.

    The enhancements also highlight the company’s response to the growing demand for energy efficiency. Rising energy costs and increasing temperatures across Queensland have made well-designed air conditioning systems a priority for homeowners. Smarter Air & Electrical’s focus on zoning technology, ductwork design, and professional load calculations positions it to meet this demand effectively.

    Business highlights supporting the announcement include a dual-branch structure in Yatala and Little Mountain, four dedicated installation crews, and a 10-vehicle fleet that services the wider South East Queensland region. The company has become one of the area’s largest suppliers of ducted systems while continuing to provide split systems, servicing, replacements, and electrical installations such as security cameras.

    Customer feedback continues to validate the company’s direction. Verified reviews consistently reference punctuality, workmanship quality, and clear communication, qualities that have been reinforced under the new service approach. Many reviews also highlight the professionalism of technicians and the clarity of post-installation explanations, elements that are now formally embedded in the updated customer experience.

    The decision to enhance services reflects Smarter Air & Electrical’s growth trajectory since 2019 and its recognition that maintaining standards is essential as demand increases. By combining operational refinements with existing strengths such as its workmanship guarantee and exclusive brand partnerships, the company is positioning itself for continued leadership in the South East Queensland HVAC market.

    Smarter Air & Electrical’s announcement marks a significant development for both existing and future customers, who can expect a more comprehensive service experience with every installation or maintenance project. The company has made clear that its goal is to set benchmarks for professionalism, reliability, and customer care within the region.

  • Arrowhead Clinic McDonough Addresses Concerns About Delayed Auto Accident Injury Symptoms

    Arrowhead Clinic McDonough Addresses Concerns About Delayed Auto Accident Injury Symptoms

    McDonough, Georgia – October 23, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Arrowhead Clinic Chiropractor McDonough has released comprehensive educational resources addressing a critical health concern affecting thousands of Georgia accident victims each year – the delayed onset of injury symptoms following vehicular collisions. Read more here: https://arrowheadclinic.weebly.com/blog/why-mcdonough-accident-victims-need-immediate-chiropractic-care-understanding-delayed-injury-symptoms. This comprehensive resource details the critical first 72 hours following an accident and explains diagnostic procedures used to identify hidden injuries.

    The McDonough chiropractic facility reports an increasing number of patients seeking treatment days or weeks after accidents, often experiencing complications that could have been prevented with immediate care. The clinic indicates that many accident victims who delay treatment develop chronic pain conditions within six months of their initial injury.

    Arrowhead Clinic in Mcdonough auto accident injury pain relief

    Dr. Robbyn Keating, lead chiropractor at Arrowhead Clinic McDonough, explains the physiological reasons behind delayed symptom presentation. “The human body releases adrenaline and endorphins during traumatic events like car accidents, which can mask pain and injury symptoms for hours or even days,” stated Dr. Keating. “This natural response, while protective in the immediate aftermath, often leads patients to believe they are uninjured when micro-tears in muscles, spinal misalignments, and internal inflammation are already developing.”

    The clinic has documented common delayed symptoms, including neck pain and stiffness appearing 24 to 72 hours post-accident, progressive headaches developing over several days, shoulder and upper back discomfort emerging gradually, and neurological symptoms such as numbness or tingling in extremities manifesting days after the initial trauma. Additional concerns include cognitive symptoms like difficulty concentrating and mood changes that may not be immediately associated with physical trauma. Accident victims can learn more here about the importance of immediate evaluation: .

    The McDonough facility maintains same-day appointment availability specifically for accident victims, recognizing that early intervention significantly impacts long-term recovery outcomes. Treatment protocols focus on addressing both apparent and potential hidden injuries through advanced diagnostic imaging, comprehensive physical examinations, and personalized treatment plans designed to prevent acute injuries from developing into chronic conditions.

    Dr. Keating emphasizes the long-term implications of delayed treatment. “When patients wait weeks to seek care, simple soft tissue injuries can develop into complex chronic pain syndromes requiring extensive rehabilitation. Early intervention allows us to address inflammation, restore proper spinal alignment, and prevent the formation of problematic scar tissue that can limit mobility and cause ongoing discomfort.”

    A recent McDonough Arrowhead Clinic patient review highlighted the importance of immediate care, with one patient noting significant improvement after seeking treatment within 24 hours of their accident, compared to previous experiences where delayed treatment led to months of unnecessary pain and limited mobility.

    Arrowhead Clinic has served Georgia communities for over 48 years, specializing in same day accident-related injury treatment and recovery. The organization operates multiple locations throughout Georgia and South Carolina, providing comprehensive chiropractic care, diagnostic services, and assistance with insurance documentation for accident victims. The McDonough location continues this tradition of accessible, evidence-based care for individuals recovering from auto accidents and other traumatic injuries.

  • Exploring the Side Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: New Resource from Moment of Clarity

    Exploring the Side Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: New Resource from Moment of Clarity

    Oceanside, CA – October 22, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Moment of Clarity has released a new educational resource, titled “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Side Effects,” now available on their website. The article offers an in-depth look at the possible side effects of TMS therapy, a noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. The resource helps patients, families, and communities understand the risks and benefits of TMS, offering clarity at a time when more people are exploring advanced mental health treatments.

    The publication explains that TMS therapy utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. While widely regarded as safe and effective, patients often inquire about potential side effects before starting treatment. The article outlines how most side effects are mild, temporary, and well-tolerated, including scalp discomfort or headaches, which usually resolve quickly after sessions. Rare but more serious side effects, such as seizures, are discussed in context with their extremely low risk. By providing transparency, the resource encourages patients to consider TMS as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, rather than avoiding care due to uncertainty.

    Depression Treatment Center Near You In Oceanside CA

    For individuals in Oceanside, California, seeking individual psychotherapy or couples therapy, this resource situates TMS within the broader spectrum of services that support recovery. Patients often benefit most when TMS is combined with evidence-based talk therapies and holistic approaches. For example, a patient may participate in individual psychotherapy to address underlying thought patterns, engage in couples therapy to improve communication, and involve loved ones in family therapy to strengthen support systems. A psychiatric evaluation often guides these treatment decisions, ensuring TMS is used appropriately alongside other services.

    Communities surrounding Oceanside also benefit from access to this type of educational content. In neighborhoods such as El Camino Country Club and Calavera Hills, families frequently seek comprehensive mental health care that blends advanced treatments with counseling and supportive services. The resource reassures patients in these areas that TMS can be safely integrated with outpatient therapy and ongoing evaluations. For patients in Rancho Carlsbad and Carlsbad Village, where people often search for family therapy or psychiatric assessment for mental health, the publication emphasizes the importance of choosing programs that offer both traditional and advanced treatment options, ensuring care is tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

    The article also explains that TMS therapy can be particularly effective for patients with treatment-resistant depression. In Oceanside and the surrounding suburbs, patients who have tried multiple medications without success may find TMS to be a promising option. The resource clarifies that TMS is not a replacement for therapy, but rather a complement, designed to improve symptoms sufficiently for patients to engage more fully in psychotherapy and other forms of care. This integration is crucial for families in Carlsbad Village and Calavera Hills, where patients often seek long-term solutions that address both immediate symptoms and deeper causes of mental health challenges.

    Moment of Clarity’s publication further emphasizes that transparency about side effects builds trust between patients and providers. By addressing common concerns upfront, the article helps families in Rancho Carlsbad or El Camino Country Club feel more confident in exploring treatment. It highlights that informed patients are more likely to remain engaged in their care, leading to improved outcomes over time.

    The resource also highlights the growing recognition that mental health recovery necessitates multiple approaches. For patients in Oceanside, this may include TMS therapy in conjunction with individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, or family therapy to ensure the entire support system is engaged. For people balancing complex needs, psychiatric evaluations provide the foundation for designing personalized care plans. The article emphasizes that advanced treatments, such as TMS, are most effective when they are part of a coordinated, evidence-based program.

    By publishing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Side Effects, Moment of Clarity reinforces its commitment to patient education and evidence-based care. The resource not only explains the potential risks of TMS but also places them within the broader context of comprehensive mental health services. It provides practical information that patients and their families can use to make informed decisions, thereby reducing uncertainty and stigma surrounding advanced therapies.

    For patients and families in Oceanside and nearby neighborhoods such as El Camino and Country Club, searching online for mental health in Oceanside, this new resource offers timely, accessible guidance. By combining clinical expertise with transparent information, Moment of Clarity helps patients and communities better understand TMS therapy, its potential side effects, and its role in supporting recovery.

  • Local HVAC Professionals Emphasize System Reliability as North Texas Businesses Prepare for Cooler Weather

    Local HVAC Professionals Emphasize System Reliability as North Texas Businesses Prepare for Cooler Weather

    KRUM, TX – October 23, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    As temperatures begin to drop across North Texas, many commercial property owners are turning their attention to the performance and dependability of their heating and cooling systems. Comfort Conditioning, a locally based HVAC service provider, weighs in when it comes to helping business owners understand the importance of prioritizing system maintenance and repairs to ensure optimal efficiency throughout the fall and winter months. The company’s dedicated team provides specialized solutions through its Commercial HVAC Repair program, designed to help commercial operations maintain reliable performance and energy efficiency year-round. With seasonal temperature swings common in the region, consistent system reliability has become a key factor for commercial operations aiming to maintain both energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

    According to Kanon Van Guilder, owner of Comfort Conditioning in Krum, Texas, regular maintenance and prompt attention to system issues can make a substantial difference in preventing costly breakdowns during critical periods of operation. The company’s commercial division provides a comprehensive range of professional services tailored to meet the demanding requirements of businesses across multiple industries. These services focus on accurate diagnostics, efficient repairs, and ongoing maintenance strategies that enhance both performance and longevity. By addressing issues such as airflow imbalances, component wear, and energy inefficiencies, businesses can sustain consistent indoor comfort while reducing operational disruptions and unplanned expenses.

    An HVAC technician works on improving airflow in a business office for a commercial HVAC repair job.

    Commercial HVAC systems often face heavier usage loads than residential units, requiring precise calibration and maintenance routines to sustain performance. As North Texas experiences fluctuating autumn temperatures that can strain both heating and cooling components, many facility managers are scheduling inspections to prepare for the shift to cooler conditions. A spokesperson for Comfort Conditioning emphasized that proactive maintenance during this transitional period is essential to avoiding disruptions in business operations.

    “Commercial HVAC systems are the backbone of a comfortable and productive environment,” said Kanon Van Guilder. “When equipment is neglected or allowed to operate inefficiently, the results can lead to energy waste, premature component failure, and costly downtime.” Van Guilder noted that consistent inspection intervals and data-driven repair decisions are among the most effective strategies for extending system lifespan.

    For businesses in sectors such as retail, healthcare, and manufacturing, reliable indoor climate control directly impacts employee performance, equipment safety, and customer satisfaction. Even a short disruption can have measurable consequences, from lost productivity to increased energy consumption when systems must compensate for deferred maintenance. Detailed evaluations that include airflow analysis, filter and coil inspections, and verification of electrical and mechanical integrity are important steps to collectively support efficient operation and energy savings.

    Van Guilder explained that many business owners underestimate how early warning signs can escalate. “Unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, or spikes in utility bills often point to underlying system inefficiencies,” he said. “Addressing these issues promptly allows our clients to avoid full system failures and the resulting loss of comfort or business continuity. Every commercial system requires a customized approach based on usage, square footage, and environmental demands.”

    As North Texas businesses prepare for an anticipated increase in heating requirements, energy efficiency remains a critical concern. Aging equipment and deferred maintenance can lead to higher operating costs, even when systems appear to be functioning adequately. Comfort Conditioning’s technicians use diagnostic tools to assess performance metrics such as airflow resistance, refrigerant levels, and heat exchanger condition, identifying opportunities for improved efficiency. By aligning maintenance with operational goals, commercial clients can achieve measurable returns through reduced energy consumption and fewer emergency service calls.

    Van Guilder added that many facilities are also exploring system upgrades that integrate modern control technologies and variable-speed components. “Intelligent systems can make real-time adjustments based on building occupancy and temperature fluctuations,” he said. “That level of precision not only improves comfort but also reduces energy waste. Incorporating these technological advancements is becoming more common as part of an overall facility management strategy.”

    While system upgrades can offer long-term savings, Comfort Conditioning maintains that maintenance remains the cornerstone of reliability. Routine servicing provides an opportunity to identify and correct inefficiencies before they escalate into expensive repairs. For facilities that operate extended hours or house sensitive equipment, consistent HVAC performance is not merely a matter of comfort—it is essential to business continuity. The company’s technicians are trained to provide service recommendations that balance immediate operational needs with long-term financial efficiency.

    Commercial property managers across North Texas have increasingly adopted preventative maintenance agreements as a safeguard against unplanned outages. These agreements allow businesses to schedule routine service checks that align with seasonal changes, ensuring readiness for both heating and cooling demands throughout the year. Van Guilder emphasized that clients who adopt such programs experience fewer emergencies and enjoy more predictable operating budgets. “Preventive maintenance is about control,” he said. “It allows our clients to manage costs, plan ahead, and avoid the unpredictability that comes from reactive repairs.”

    In addition to reliability and cost management, environmental considerations are playing a growing role in commercial HVAC decisions. As regulatory standards continue to evolve, energy-efficient systems are becoming a practical and responsible investment for business owners seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. Comfort Conditioning’s commercial repair and maintenance services support compliance with modern energy standards, helping clients achieve both sustainability and operational performance.

    Van Guilder concluded by noting that HVAC reliability extends beyond mechanical function—it represents a commitment to operational excellence. “A well-maintained system reflects a business that values safety, efficiency, and comfort,” he said. “As cooler temperatures approach, we encourage every business owner to take a proactive step toward ensuring their HVAC systems are ready to perform when it matters most.”

  • Dateline Advances BFS, Prepares to Test Gold & REE Targets

    Dateline Advances BFS, Prepares to Test Gold & REE Targets

    BFS Drill Program Nearly Complete –

    SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) (Dateline or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the drilling activities underway at its 100%-owned Colosseum Gold-REE Project in California, USA.

    Three drill rigs are currently operating on site, one diamond rig and two reverse circulation (RC) rigs and until recently, the program was supported by an additional sonic rig that has now completed its tailings stability work and has been demobilised.

    The current drilling phase is focused on compact infill, extensional, geotechnical, and tailings stability holes as part of the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS). The broader program will shortly transition to testing several newly defined, high-priority gold and rare earth targets identified from recent geophysical and geochemical work across the Colosseum system.

    Highlights

    • BFS Drilling: The compact BFS drill program of 32 holes for 4,257 metres (13,968 feet) is 67% complete with an estimated end date of November 7, 2025.

    • Stockpile Drilling: Approximately 1Mt of historical stockpiles grading ~1 g/t Au will be RC drilled to confirm grade continuity and support inclusion in the mine plan, potentially adding already mined ~30,000oz of gold to the feasibility inventory.

    • Tailings Stability Drilling: A sonic drilling program over the existing tailings storage facility was completed, confirming the foundation is stable and suitable for additional lifts as part of the planned development.

    • Exploration Targets: The major phase of the drilling campaign will focus on newly defined gold and rare earth targets, with both programs to be drilled concurrently. Drilling will begin on the high-priority gold breccia pipe targets (Targets 1, 5 and 6) alongside the 2200N REE target, the first of three defined anomalies to be tested.

    Dateline’s Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, commented:“Having multiple rigs on site has allowed us to accelerate the program so we can focus our efforts sooner on the new gold and rare earth targets. With over 1,400 samples already at the lab, we look forward to reporting the results as they become available and are analysed.

    “Our geology team is eager to commence drilling the new gold and REE targets in early November.”

    BFS Drill Program Status

    Infill and Extensional Program

    The Scoping Study outlined 16.6 Mt of ore, with 81% classified as Measured and Indicated and the remaining 19% as Inferred. The current drill program is designed to infill these Inferred areas and support upgrades to Indicated or Measured categories, providing greater confidence in mine scheduling and production planning.

    The infill component comprises 32 holes for 4,257 metres (13,968 feet) and is now 67% complete. Samples from the completed holes have been dispatched to ALS Reno for analysis.

    Stockpile Drilling

    When Dateline acquired the Colosseum Project in 2021, it inherited an existing ore stockpile left on site following the suspension of operations in 1993. Historical mine records indicate the stockpile contains approximately 1Mt grading 1.0 g/t Au for an estimated 30,000 ounces of gold.

    To date, Dateline’s work has focused on expanding the in-situ Mineral Resource, and the stockpile has not yet been drilled or included in the current mine plan. The Company now intends to complete reverse-circulation (RC) drilling to confirm the tonnes and grade of this material, enabling it to be incorporated into the development schedule.

    This mined stockpile has the potential to be processed during the commissioning phase of the operation, providing an early source of mill feed, accelerating gold production, and enhancing overall project economics.

    Figure 2: Stockpiles to be assessed with RC drilling

    Tailings Stability Drilling

    Dateline plans to reutilise the existing tailings storage facility (TSF) at Colosseum as part of the proposed mine development. The design involves filter pressing the tailings prior to deposition, allowing the material to be stacked dry on top of the existing facility. This approach enables water recirculation, significantly reducing overall water consumption and supporting construction of additional TSF lifts.

    To confirm the suitability of this approach, a program of sonic drilling was completed across the TSF site. The recovered core was reviewed by the Company’s hydrogeological consultants, who have provided their findings to the BFS team. Results confirmed the foundation stability and suitability of the existing TSF for future use as a dry-stack tailings and waste rock facility.

    New Target Drilling

    The BFS drilling programs were prioritised for completion ahead of the new target testing, as they form part of the critical path for the Colosseum development timeline. With these programs now nearing completion, the focus is shifting to the next phase of drilling-testing the newly defined gold and rare earth element (REE) targets.

    Dateline has ranked several high-priority targets for initial assessment, with Gold Targets 1, 5 and 6 and REE Target 2200N to be drilled first as part of the expanded exploration campaign.

    Protagonist Announces New Icotrokinra Data in Ulcerative Colitis and Plaque Psoriasis Presented at Two Recent Medical Conferences

    Icotrokinra demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes at Week 28 in the Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC study in ulcerative colitis, with 31.7% of patients achieving clinical remission and 38.1% showing endoscopic improvement versus placebo

    Updated ANTHEM-UC data support Phase 3 clinical development of icotrokinra in both moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

    In areas of high impact, 72% of patients with scalp psoriasis and 85% with genital psoriasis treated with icotrokinra achieved site-specific clear or almost clear skin at Week 52 in Phase 3 ICONIC-TOTAL study

    Further, 67% of patients treated with icotrokinra in the ICONIC-TOTAL study achieved overall rates of clear or almost clear skin by Week 24, which was maintained through Week 52

    NEWARK, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2025 / Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. (“Protagonist” or the “Company”) today announced new data from two studies of icotrokinra, a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that precisely blocks the IL-23 receptor, presented at two recent medical conferences.

    Week 28 data from the Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC study of icotrokinra will be presented at the 2025 American College of Gastroenterology Annual Scientific Meeting (ACG), demonstrating sustained and clinically meaningful results, with all doses (100 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg) showing higher rates of clinical response a , clinical remission b , endoscopic improvement c and histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) d at Week 28 compared to placebo. [1] These outcomes build on Week 12 data that was recently presented at United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week 2025.

    Based on results from the Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC study, Johnson & Johnson has initiated the ICONIC-UC Phase 3 protocol in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active UC, as well as the ICONIC-CD Phase 2b/3 protocol in adults with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease.

    Additionally, new long-term 52-week data from the Phase 3 ICONIC-TOTAL study e , presented last week at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, show icotrokinra demonstrated high and durable rates of site-specific psoriasis clearance affecting these high-impact and difficult-to-treat areas of the body. [2]

    • 72% of patients with scalp psoriasis achieved a scalp-specific Investigator’s Global Assessment (ss-IGA) 0/1 score and 57% achieved ss-IGA 0 f

    • 85% of patients with genital psoriasis achieved a Physician’s Global Assessment of Genitalia (sPGA-G) 0/1 and 73% achieved sPGA-G 0 g

    In the smaller subset of patients with hand/foot psoriasis, treatment with icotrokinra showed a numerically higher rate of skin clearance at Week 16, which increased through Week 52 with patients achieving a hand and/or foot Physician’s Global Assessment (hf-PGA) h score of 0/1 increasing from 42% to 62%.

    Overall response rates among patients treated with once-daily icotrokinra were maintained through Week 52, with 67% of patients treated with icotrokinra achieving clear or almost clear skin (Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) i 0/1) and 44% achieving completely clear skin (IGA 0) at Week 52. The overall response rates were also comparable among patients who received icotrokinra for all 52 weeks and those who transitioned from placebo to icotrokinra at Week 16 (67% versus 68% achieved IGA0/1, respectively). Across treatment groups, adverse event and serious adverse event rates were similar through Week 52 compared to those through Week 16, with no new safety signals identified.

    “Additional data from Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC and Phase 3 ICONIC-TOTAL studies continue to show a strong durability of response and clinical benefit of icotrokinra treatment in a range of inflammatory and immunological diseases,” said Dinesh V. Patel, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Protagonist. “We are very pleased to see that the ICONIC development program now includes both ICONIC-UC, a Phase 3 study in adults with moderately to severely active UC, and ICONIC-CD, a Phase 2b/3 study in adults with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease. Our goal continues to be delivering well-differentiated oral targeted therapy treatments for patients as we continue to advance our oral peptides-based scientific and innovation leadership in the I&I field.”

    Editor’s notes:

    1. Clinical response was defined as a decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.

    2. Clinical remission was defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

    3. Endoscopic improvement was defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1.

    4. Histologic-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) was defined as histologic remission (absence of neutrophils from the mucosa in both lamina propria and epithelium, no crypt destruction, and no erosions, ulcerations, or granulation tissue according to the Geboes grading system) and endoscopic improvement (MES of 0 or 1).

    5. ICONIC-TOTAL evaluates the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo in participants with at least moderate scalp, genital, and/or hand/foot PsO with once-daily icotrokinra or placebo, with placebo-to-icotrokinra transition at Week 16.

    6. The ss-IGA is a five-point scale where scalp lesions are assessed in terms of clinical signs of redness, thickness, and scaliness on a severity score ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 indicates absence of disease, 1 is very mild, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 indicates severe disease.

    7. The sPGA-G is a six-point scale used to evaluate the severity of genital psoriasis at a given time point ranging from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates clear, 1 is minimal, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate, 4 is severe and 5 indicates very severe disease. [3]

    8. The Physician’s Global Assessment of Psoriasis on the Hands and/or Feet (hf-PGA) assesses the severity of hand and foot psoriasis using a 5-point scale to score the plaques on the hands and feet as: clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3) and severe (4). [4]

    9. The IGA is a five-point scale with a severity score ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 indicates clear, 1 is minimal, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate, and 4 indicates severe disease. [5]

    About ANTHEM-UC

    ANTHEM-UC ( NCT06049017 ) is a Phase 2b multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113, JNJ-2113) in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who had an inadequate response or intolerance to conventional therapy (e.g., thiopurines or corticosteroids), prior biologics (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab) and/or ozanimod or approved JAK inhibitors. The study is evaluating three once-daily dosages of ​icotrokinra taken orally. Participants who complete the Week 28 assessments and have achieved clinical response at Week 28 and who, in the opinion of the investigator, will continue to benefit from treatment with study intervention will continue in the 48-week long term extension (LTE) period and receive the same treatment up to Week 76.

    About Ulcerative Colitis
    Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucus. It is the result of the immune system’s overactive response.Symptoms vary but may typically include loose and more urgent bowel movements, rectal bleeding or bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue.

    About the ICONIC Clinical Development Program
    The pivotal Phase 3 ICONIC clinical development program of icotrokinra (JNJ-2113) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO was initiated with two studies in Q4 2023 – ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-TOTAL – pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement between Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company.

    ICONIC-LEAD ( NCT06095115 ) is a RCT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO, with PASI 90 and IGA score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as co-primary endpoints.

    ICONIC-TOTAL ( NCT06095102 ) is a RCT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo for the treatment of PsO in participants with at least moderate severity affecting special areas (e.g., scalp, genital, and/or hands and feet) with overall IGA score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement as the primary endpoint.

    Other Phase 3 studies in the development program include ICONIC-ADVANCE 1 ( NCT06143878 ) and ICONIC-ADVANCE 2 ( NCT06220604 ), which are evaluating the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with both placebo and deucravacitinib in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO. ICONIC-ASCEND will evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared with placebo and ustekinumab in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. ICONIC-PsA 1 ( NCT06878404 ) and ICONIC-PsA 2 ( NCT06807424 ) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra compared to placebo in participants with active psoriatic arthritis.

    Johnson & Johnson has also initiated the ICONIC-UC Phase 3 protocol in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active UC as well as the ICONIC-CD Phase 2b/3 protocol in adults with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease.

    About Plaque Psoriasis
    Plaque psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic immune-mediated disease resulting in overproduction of skin cells, which causes inflamed, scaly plaques that may be itchy or painful. It is estimated that 8 million Americans and more than 125 million people worldwide live with the disease. Nearly one-quarter of all people with plaque PsO have cases that are considered moderate-to-severe.Plaques typically appear as raised patches with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells or scales.Plaques may appear red in lighter skin or more of a purple, gray or dark brown color in patients with darker skin tones. Plaques can appear anywhere on the body, although they most often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows, and torso.Living with plaque PsO can be a challenge and impact life beyond a person’s physical health, including emotional health, relationships, and handling the stressors of life. Psoriasis on highly visible areas of the body or sensitive skin, such as the scalp, hands, feet, and genitals, can have an increased negative impact on quality of life.

    About Protagonist

    Protagonist Therapeutics is a discovery through late-stage development biopharmaceutical company. Two novel peptides derived from Protagonist’s proprietary discovery platform are currently in advanced Phase 3 clinical development, with New Drug Application (NDA) for icotrokinra submitted to the FDA in July and in the NDA submission for rusfertide expected by end of 2025. Icotrokinra (formerly, JNJ-2113), is a first-in-class investigational targeted oral peptide that precisely blocks the Interleukin-23 receptor (“IL-23R”) which is licensed to Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company. Following icotrokinra’s joint discovery by Protagonist and Johnson & Johnson scientists pursuant to the companies’ IL-23R collaboration, Protagonist was primarily responsible for the development of icotrokinra through Phase 1, with Johnson & Johnson assuming responsibility for development in Phase 2 and beyond.
