NeuroSense Therapeutics is on Verge of Potential Blockbuster Pharma Deal as ALS Drug Shows 58% Survival Improvement

Global Markets News

NeuroSense Therapeutics (NASDAQ: NRSN)* is in active discussions with a global pharmaceutical giant for what CEO Alon Ben-Noon calls a potentially "transformative" partnership that could catapult the company's groundbreaking ALS therapy toward commercialization, according to a shareholder letter released today. The binding term sheet announced in December has progressed to advanced discussions for a "multinational partnership" that could deliver significant upfront capital and fully fund the upcoming Phase 3 trial. While initially expected to close in Q1, the complex deal's extended timeline suggests substantial terms are being negotiated, with Ben-Noon expressing optimism about an agreement that would mark "a true inflection point" for the company. Previous neurodegenerative disease partnerships have generated substantial value for biotech companies. GSK's 2021 deal with Alector included $700 million upfront and up to $1.5 billion in milestone payments, while Biogen's 2020 Denali partnership involved $560 million upfront with $1.125 billion in potential milestones. In 2024, Eli Lilly licensed QurAlis's preclinical ALS therapy for $45 million upfront plus up to $577 million in milestones—highlighting the pharmaceutical industry's willingness to invest heavily in promising neurological treatments. Investors have compelling reasons to watch NeuroSense closely as multiple catalysts approach. PrimeC, the company's novel ALS treatment, delivered remarkable Phase 2b results showing a 33% slowing of disease progression (p=0.007) and an impressive 58% improvement in survival rates compared to placebo. These potentially game-changing outcomes position PrimeC as one of the most promising ALS therapies in development. The company's dual-track commercialization strategy adds near-term revenue potential to its long-term pipeline value. While advancing toward a global Phase 3 trial set to begin in H2 2025, NeuroSense is simultaneously pursuing fast-track approval in Canada through a special regulatory pathway designed for life-threatening conditions with limited treatment options. Commercial forecasts project potential Canadian sales of $100-150 million annually—potentially providing significant revenue while the larger global program advances. Recent scientific validation came this month at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, where distinguished neurologists presented biomarker data confirming PrimeC's mechanism of action in targeting multiple disease pathways simultaneously. PrimeC's approach combines two FDA-approved drugs (ciprofloxacin and celecoxib) in a novel formulation designed to attack ALS through multiple pathways—inflammation, iron accumulation, and RNA regulation—giving it potential advantages over single-target therapies. The drug has received coveted Orphan Drug Designation from both US and European regulators. The ALS treatment landscape represents a significant commercial opportunity, with over 30,000 patients in the US and Europe and approximately 5,000 new diagnoses annually in the US alone. With limited effective treatments currently available, successful therapies command premium pricing and substantial market share. Upcoming catalysts include Canadian regulatory progress, potential partnership announcement, and Phase 3 initiation in the second half of 2025—each representing potential value-driving events for shareholders. For investors seeking exposure to late-stage neurodegenerative disease treatments with multiple near-term catalysts, NeuroSense's progress on both the pharmaceutical partnership and regulatory fronts presents a compelling opportunity to watch closely in the coming months.

AdvicePay Releases Third Annual Trend Report, Revealing Growth in Subscription-Based Financial Planning

AdvicePay

AdvicePay, the industry-leading platform for managing billing, payments, and compliance of fee-for-service financial planning, released its third annual Fee-for-Service Industry Trend Report. The findings, based on over 461,000 transactions processed in 2024, highlight a growing trend in subscription-based models – an increasingly popular choice for advisors seeking stable and predictable revenue streams amid volatile markets. The report reveals that subscription-based models continue to dominate the fee-for-service landscape. In 2024, a substantial 85% of all invoices were subscription-based, up from 83% the previous year. This shift marks a continued rise in the popularity of monthly and quarterly subscriptions, as well as a notable increase in the fees charged for these services. Specifically, advisors raised their average monthly subscription fees to $278, up 4.9% from $265 in 2023, while quarterly subscriptions saw a 1.4% increase, and one-time fees grew by 2.9%. The trend toward higher subscription fees and a preference for digital payments also reflects broader changes in client behavior. In 2024, over half (53.4%) of all transactions were completed using credit or debit cards, while 45.9% were processed through ACH transfers. These findings underscore the growing adoption of subscription-based models across the industry. Despite common misconceptions, the report highlights that fee-for-service planning is not replacing assets under management (AUM) fees, but rather providing a complementary revenue stream. In times of market volatility, fee-for-service financial planning offers advisors a more stable and predictable income, akin to a "bond" in an advisor’s income portfolio. As AUM fees fluctuate with market conditions, advisors are leveraging fee-for-service models to reach new, underserved demographics and secure steady cash flow. “Adoption of the fee-for-service model is no longer a niche trend, it’s a strategic necessity for broker-dealers and RIAs aiming to remain resilient and competitive in recruitment and retention of both advisors and clients,” said Alan Moore, Co-Founder and CEO of AdvicePay. “The sustained growth across key metrics signals that subscription-based planning is becoming a core part of financial advisory firms’ revenue strategies. It allows firms to expand their client base, offer flexible pricing, and mitigate the risk of market volatility.” The increasing popularity of fee-for-service planning is further evidenced by the growth in transactions on the AdvicePay platform, which processed 461,000 transactions in 2024, up from 380,000 the previous year. Since its public launch in 2018, AdvicePay has processed over $838 million in financial planning fees, firmly establishing fee-for-service financial planning as a mainstream and essential business model. Released just last week, the 2025 Trend Report already has over 400 downloads to date.

About AdvicePay AdvicePay is the industry-leading platform for overseeing the compliance, delivery, and payment processing of fee-for-service financial planning. Financial services firms and their advisors benefit from efficient workflows designed exclusively to support their fee-for-service financial planning revenue, including up-to-date compliance and data security management, all in one unified platform.

BioLumic Oversubscribed Funding Round Accelerates a New Category of Non-GMO Seed Traits

BioLumic

BioLumic Inc., a pioneer in seed trait innovation, today announced the close of its oversubscribed Series B Extension, securing $8.3 million USD from new and existing investors, including Ki Tua Fund, Azolla Ventures, and iSelect Fund. The new capital will accelerate the commercial growth of a breakthrough category of seed traits – xTraits™ – the world’s first seed traits activated purely by precise light signals. The round attracted a strategic investor group led by the Ki Tua Fund—an early-stage venture fund backed by global dairy leader Fonterra—alongside Azolla Ventures, a climate-focused agtech investor, and iSelect Fund, a U.S.-based food, agriculture, and healthcare innovation fund. They join existing backers DYDX Capital, Rabo Ventures, AgriZero, MIG Angels, Icehouse Ventures, and OurCrowd, underscoring broad industry validation and global reach. BioLumic is advancing high-value traits in corn, rice, soybean, and forage grasses for pasture-based dairy systems. The company’s xTraits™ technology enables seed company partners to deliver enhanced, non-GMO and non-GE traits up to 90% faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods—unlocking new value across the agricultural supply chain. The proprietary xTraits™ platform uses targeted UV light signals to program genetic expression in plants—without altering their DNA and without the regulatory hurdles of genetic modification. This new class of seed traits significantly improves yield, stress resilience, and nutritional composition; stacks with existing biotech traits; and dramatically reduces the time, cost, and risk of trait development. “Seed traits are powerful and essential, but the innovation cycle is broken. Developing new traits takes too much time and capital to keep pace with market demand — creating tremendous risk for both seed companies and farmers,” said Steve Sibulkin, CEO of BioLumic. “The xTraits™ platform dramatically shortens the discovery-to-market timeline while stacking on top of existing varieties and trait packages. It’s a breakthrough solution to close the gap and meet urgent demand.” The funding will accelerate the rollout of its corn, soybean, rice, and forage grass traits—with a goal of capturing 10% of the non-transgenic seed trait market within five years. xTrait Platform Improves Productivity, Nutrition and Sustainability in Key Food Crops In 2025, BioLumic launched its first commercial xTraits Activation System at Gro Alliance’s seed production facility, enabling partners to integrate xTraits into elite corn inbreds and hybrids. Field trials have shown light-activated hybrid corn achieved over 20% yield gains, building on 8% gains in activated inbred parent lines. These hybrid traits will be commercially deployed in the U.S. market for the 2026 planting season. More than 10 additional traits are currently in development across multiple crops. BioLumic is also accelerating development of forage grass traits, representing a major opportunity to improve profitability and sustainability in pasture-based systems. These traits aim to boost pasture productivity and energy density—helping producers increase milk output, reduce supplemental feed use, and improve sustainability outcomes. Komal Mistry-Mehta, Ki Tua Fund Director and Fonterra’s Chief Innovation and Brand Officer, emphasized the potential of this partnership and value to NZ Inc: “Ki Tua Fund is focused on supporting startups that span Fonterra's value chain from on-farm productivity, manufacturing optimisation through to the future of food and health technologies. We know our dairy farmers need innovative solutions to increase profitability, and BioLumic's technology represents a potential game changer. In future, it could help Fonterra, and by extension NZ Inc, boost milk solids to manufacture into high value Ingredients and Foodservice exports.” These benefits are part of a broader push to align agricultural productivity with climate-smart practices. “BioLumic is creating a new category of seed traits that could help drive agricultural methane-reduction strategies, or what we call ‘Methane Moonshots’, like reducing the need for rice paddy flooding and changing the composition of pasture grass to cut enteric fermentation,” said Johanna Wolfson, General Partner at Azolla Ventures. “BioLumic delivers real-world climate advantages and economic value for farmers to create truly sustainable impact.” With fresh funding and strong commercial momentum, BioLumic is advancing a new generation of non-GMO trait innovation—scaling high-performing, sustainable traits that meet the needs of farmers, seed companies, and the global food system. About BioLumic: Founded in 2013, BioLumic is a U.S.- and New Zealand-based agricultural biotechnology company using light signaling as a programming language for plants. Its patented xTraits™ technology unlocks non-GMO genetic expression traits to enhance yield, composition, and crop resilience through a one-time, light-based seed application. BioLumic traits are scalable, fast to develop, and easily integrated into existing seed systems. Learn mores at www.biolumic.com or contact info@biolumic.com.
