• SuperCom has reported record net income of $6 million for the first nine months of 2025, more than doubling the prior year.
• Gross margin expanded to 61%, while EBITDA reached $7.2 million, reflecting improved operating leverage and higher-margin contracts.
• Q3 results showed continued momentum, including non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million and an EBITDA margin of 34.6%.
• Since mid-2024, the company has secured over 30 new U.S. electronic monitoring contracts and entered 13 new states, frequently displacing incumbent providers.
• International expansion included a $7 million national contract in Germany, its second major European win in as many years.
• SuperCom’s PureSecurity(TM) platform continues to support growth across offender monitoring, domestic violence protection, and community supervision, areas where electronic monitoring has shown measurable reductions in recidivism.

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of secured solutions for the e-Government, IoT, and Cybersecurity sectors, has reported its strongest financial performance to date, posting record net income of $6 million for the first nine months of 2025, according to its November 13 announcement. The company recorded substantial gains across multiple metrics, reflecting increased adoption of its electronic monitoring (“EM”) platform in the United States and abroad (https://ibn.fm/QrnNd).

For the first nine months of 2025, gross profit rose to $12.5 million from $10.7 million, while gross margin widened to 61% from 50.1%. Operating income nearly tripled to $3 million, and non-GAAP net income reached $9.3 million, representing a non-GAAP net margin of 45.7%, up from 23.2% in the prior year period. EBITDA also rose to $7.2 million, with EBITDA margin improving to 35.4%.

The company’s third-quarter performance reinforced this trend. Gross margin increased to 60.8%, non-GAAP net income surged 450% to $1.9 million, and EBITDA doubled to $2.2 million. Book value per share rose to $8.06, supported by higher working capital and expanded cash reserves.

President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi described the results as evidence of the company’s operational scalability and increasing market traction. “Net income reached a record of $6.0 million, approximately 140% higher year over year,” Trabelsi said, noting the scalability of the company’s expansion model.

Trabelsi added that SuperCom has continued to expand its footprint with new EM contracts in the United States and in Germany, extending its reach into Europe’s largest economy. Many of these engagements, including recent wins in Alabama, Utah, and Virginia, involved replacing long-standing incumbent providers, an indication of market willingness to adopt newer, more flexible monitoring technology.

SuperCom’s U.S. growth followed a familiar pattern: entering a state through an initial agency or service provider contract, followed by rapid expansion into additional jurisdictions.

In 2025 alone, SuperCom:

• Signed four new contracts in Alabama within a year, including one that involved replacing an incumbent provider.
• Added another sheriff agency contract in Utah, its second in the state this year.
• Secured follow-on service provider deployments in Virginia, expanding GPS operations.
• Won new contracts in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Kentucky, and was selected for a statewide procurement vehicle by the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association.

These wins allowed the company to broaden adoption of its PureSecurity(TM) platform across GPS tracking, domestic violence monitoring, and community supervision programs.

SuperCom’s expansion strategy also leverages partnerships with regional service providers, who supply monitoring services to courts, sheriffs, and probation departments. Such providers increasingly seek modern, cloud-enabled tools to replace aging systems.

Beyond the U.S., 2025 marked another year of meaningful international progress. On September 22, the company won a $7 million national contract in Germany, displacing a vendor that had served the country for more than 20 years. That contract covers four nationwide program types under a multi-year framework.

SuperCom also continued executing national programs in Israel, Sweden, Romania, Denmark, and Finland. It reported an RFP win rate above 65% across Europe, reflecting demand for updated electronic monitoring systems.

At the core of SuperCom’s expansion is its PureSecurity(TM) platform, which integrates GPS, RF, and cloud-based monitoring tools. The system supports a range of devices and use cases, including:

• PureOne and PureTag tracking bracelets
• PureCom home monitoring stations
• PureTrack(TM) smartphone-based GPS tracking
• PureShield(TM)/PureProtect(TM) mobile apps for domestic violence protection
• PureBeacon for indoor RF-based monitoring
• PureReader for inmate movement tracking within detention centers

The platform’s modular structure enables agencies to combine components based on the type of supervision required, offering flexibility often cited as a decisive factor in procurement decisions.

SuperCom’s focus on electronic monitoring aligns with growing support for EM as a tool for reducing reoffending. Studies from Argentina, Australia, and France have shown reductions in recidivism ranging from 10% to 48% among monitored individuals, underscoring EM’s value as an alternative to detention in appropriate cases. Public safety agencies increasingly use EM to reduce jail populations, monitor higher-risk individuals in the community, and support domestic violence protection orders.

SuperCom’s 2025 financials also showed the benefits of a business model built on recurring revenue and multi-year contracts. Cash and equivalents more than doubled to $13.1 million, while working capital rose 60% to $41.8 million. The company’s growing book value reflects long-term EM program deployments, often renewed or expanded after initial performance evaluations.

Trabelsi highlighted that many new contracts stem from follow-on wins, demonstrating customer satisfaction and reinforcing SuperCom’s strategy of building long-term regional footholds. “These wins not only demonstrate the strength of our proprietary technology but also validate our ability to earn trust in new markets, expand rapidly through follow-on wins, and displace legacy vendors time after time. They reflect growing confidence in our offering and signal a clear path for continued expansion across both U.S. and international markets,” Trabelsi said.

With continued U.S. expansion, new European national programs, and rising demand for offender supervision technologies, SuperCom enters 2026 with significant momentum. Its financial results point to a business scaling effectively, supported by higher-margin contracts, a strengthened balance sheet, and ongoing displacement of legacy vendors. “With increasing adoption of our solutions across our core markets, we remain focused on scaling operations, expanding recurring revenue, strengthening our industry leadership, and delivering value to our stakeholders,” Trabelsi concluded.

NOTE TO INVESTORS: The latest news and updates relating to SPCB are available in the company’s newsroom at http://ibn.fm/SPCB

Disseminated on behalf of  Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) and may include paid advertising.

• During interview, Ryan framed rare earths not just as mined commodities but as elements of control.
• Ucore’s strategy features a dual-node approach, with facilities on both Canada and the United States.
• The company’s refining technology is designed to fill critical downstream gaps in the rare-earth value chain.

In a recent interview with InvestorNews, Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) CEO Pat Ryan emphasized the strategic urgency of building a sovereign Western supply chain for rare earth elements, identifying samarium as “the most critically vulnerable rare earth, or the most critically vulnerable critical mineral” (https://ibn.fm/gMv83). Ucore is advancing its RapidSX(TM) separation technology and establishing refining nodes in Canada and the United States to supply high-purity rare earth oxides for magnets used in defense, renewables and electric vehicles.

During the interview, Ryan framed rare earths not just as mined commodities but as elements of control, telling host Tracy Hughes: “Samarium is the most critically vulnerable rare earth . . . . That’s important to the Vacuumschmelze relationship.” He described the company’s memorandum of understanding with Germany’s Vacuumschmelze and its U.S. subsidiary eVAC Magnetics as “an alliance between Canada, the USA, and Germany — three countries connecting.” He further explained that Ucore’s RapidSX process is “70% faster than solvent extraction and done with 60% less footprint,” enabling Ucore to shift production targets “in hours instead of weeks.”

Ryan also addressed recent Chinese export restrictions on samarium and gadolinium, both now included on China’s export control list, highlighting how Canada has responded. He referenced the conditional approval of C$36.3 million from Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan”) and FedDev Ontario for a Kingston, Ontario facility dedicated to refining these elements (https://ibn.fm/rLV9U). Regarding this funding, Ryan noted, “It culminated with a program announced at the G7. . . . Minister Hodgson signed the agreement with Ucore right on center stage.” This milestone supports Ucore’s goal to build independent processing capability in North America.

Ucore’s strategy features a dual-node approach. In Canada, its “Pathway to Samarium and Gadolinium Security” project in Kingston has conditional approval for up to C$36.3 million to establish North America’s first dedicated samarium-gadolinium oxide facility, using its RapidSX separation technology (https://ibn.fm/ErzvD). Simultaneously, Ucore is advancing its Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”) in Alexandria, Louisiana, which will target both light and heavy rare earths, supported by U.S. Department of Defense grants exceeding $18 million.

The company’s refining technology is designed to fill critical downstream gaps in the rare-earth value chain. “To build a supply chain, you’ve got to have nodes that connect,” Ryan emphasized. “You can’t have one-off MOUs that don’t bring a full solution.” His view is that mining alone is insufficient; processing and separation infrastructure is the bottleneck, which Ucore intends to address with its RapidSX system that can target specific elements such as samarium or gadolinium economically and quickly.

Ucore’s strategic alignment extends to downstream magnet producers. The MOU with Vacuumschmelze and its U.S. arm, eVAC Magnetics, which has received a U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit of $111.9 million for its facility in South Carolina, links Ucore’s oxide supply to a global magnet-production network. By positioning its technology at the heart of this supply chain, Ucore aims to supply the “high-purity rare earth oxides” needed for next-generation applications from defense systems to EV motors.

Ucore Rare Metals is actively reinforcing the domestic supply chain of critical rare earth elements by deploying its proprietary RapidSX separation technology across strategic locations in Canada and the U.S. With funding support from both governments, commercial partnerships with downstream magnet producers, and a clear focus on elements such as samarium and gadolinium, which face acute export-control risks, Ucore is staking its claim as a linchpin in North America’s push for supply-chain sovereignty. As Ryan observed: This is not just incremental, it is about rebuilding the Western supply network and delivering the product solutions needed for a strategic future.

• LaFleur Minerals, Canadian gold exploration and development company, just launched a confirmation drilling program at its Swanson Gold Deposit in Val-D’Or, Quebec, supporting a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the restart of gold production at the company’s Beacon Gold Mill
• The campaign will work to validate historical results on the property while improving confidence in the geological model of the area
• The 10-hole twinned-drilling campaign will supply fresh core for ore-sorting and metallurgical test work, with the data feeding directly into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) (FSE: 3WK0), Canadian gold exploration and development company is advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt while in parallel is progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill, and recently launched a confirmation drilling program at its Swanson Gold Deposit in Val-D’Or. LaFleur is strategically positioned for near-term gold production and strong valuation upside, with its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill and Swanson Gold Project in Val-d’Or, one of the world’s premier mining camps now seeing major consolidation. With both of LaFleur’s assets in the heart of the Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada’s largest gold producing region that is also recently subject to major M&A action (IAMGOLD, Probe/Fresnillo), LaFleur offers exceptional leverage to record gold prices and growing regional demand for long-life, low-risk gold assets, with key regional, fully-permitted, infrastructure in a growing production corridor. LaFleur is in a unique position to offer critical milling services to area gold miners with their Beacon Gold Mill, providing important cash flow for the company’s developing gold mining prospects. This timely milestone comes when gold prices continue to enhance the economics of the company’s restart plans, promising strong margins, accelerated payback potential, and immediate exposure to cash flow from permitted, near-term production assets (https://ibn.fm/ZE8Xh).

LaFleur’s 10-hole “twin-hole” drilling campaign at its Swanson Gold Deposit aims to validate historical results, improve resource confidence and the geological model of the area, and generate high-quality core for metallurgical and ore-sorting test work, with the data feeding directly into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate, all for the purpose of purpose of delivering a technically robust PEA led by ERM.  This work supports LaFleur’s near-term plan to feed its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, creating a vertically integrated, low-cost production model in one of the world’s most prolific gold districts. 

“Advancing the Beacon Gold Mill to restart gold production with gold prices at record levels above $4,000 per ounce offers amazing economic potential,” noted LaFleur Minerals’ CEO, Paul Teniere. “We are well underway to completing a comprehensive PEA for the restart of the Beacon Gold Mill, and at the suggestion of ERM, we are nearing completion of twinning historical holes that form the basis of the mineral resource at our Swanson Gold Deposit, with the intention to supply mineralized material from Swanson to the Beacon Gold Mill. We aim to have the PEA completed as soon as assay results on the twinned holes are received in the coming weeks,” he added (https://ibn.fm/wy989).

Following $20 million worth of upgrades in 2022, LaFleur Minerals’ Beacon Gold Mill is nearing recommissioning and a restart. The 750-tonne-per-day fully permitted gold mill is currently equipped with crushing, grinding, flotation, leaching, and Merrill-Crowe circuits, with the only outstanding bits including mechanical and electrical upgrades. Plans are also underway to install a new gravity concentrator circuit and recruit key operational staff, including mill management, maintenance, and plant operators.

Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 tonnes of mineralized stockpiles are already on-site which are intended to be used for initial trial runs once the mill is back online, targeted for early 2026. Historical drilling at the Swanson Gold Deposit today totals more than 36,000 meters across 242 holes with standout intervals from historical holes SW-03-07** defining 69.3 metres at 3.03 g/t Au and BAR31-84* defining 51.0 metres at 3.46 g/t Au. The property has incredible potential for resource expansion and further consolidation in the prolific region it sits in, and LaFleur’s efforts to restart its nearby Beacon Gold Mill are a testament to the company’s commitment to creating shareholder value and to stamping its position as a near-term gold producer in Canada’s most active mining region.

Projects

Atikokan REE Project – Northwestern Ontario

Powermax’s flagship Atikokan Rare Earth Element Project covers 9,416 hectares across three mineral claim blocks (A, B, and C) approximately 35 kilometers northwest of the town of Atikokan in the Thunder Bay Mining District. Located along the White Otter–Dashwa corridor, the project hosts REE-enriched granitic and pegmatitic systems supported by strong radiometric and geochemical signatures.

In 2025, Powermax completed airborne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometric surveys, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling. An integrated interpretation released in November 2025 outlined a structural–geochemical corridor of REE enrichment, with Total Rare Earth Element (“TREE”) values from 254 ppm to 1,947 ppm across Blocks B and C. The company is currently advancing surface validation and target ranking for follow-up work.

Cameron REE Project – British Columbia

The Cameron Project, which the company holds an option to acquire, is located about 30 kilometers south of Revelstoke in the Kamloops Mining Division and comprises three contiguous mineral claims totaling 2,984 hectares.

Hosted within the Monashee Group, the property contains NYF-type granitic pegmatites and gneissic units known to carry both light and heavy REEs. Phase 1 exploration, completed under NI 43-101 recommendations, produced TREE values ranging from 17 ppm to 1,943 ppm, with heavy mineral concentrate samples up to 7,561 ppm. These findings confirmed consistent REE enrichment and led to the launch of Phase 2 exploration in October 2025 to expand mapping and refine drill targets.

Ogden Bear Lodge REE Project – Wyoming, USA

Powermax owns a 100% interest in the Ogden Bear Lodge Project, covering 22 lode claims (184 hectares) in Crook County, Wyoming. The property is prospective for high-grade neodymium-praseodymium (Nd/Pr) oxide mineralization and shares a border with Rare Element Resources’ Bear Lodge Critical Rare Earth Project. That neighboring project has received $24.2 million in U.S. Department of Energy support and a non-binding EXIM Bank letter of interest for up to $553 million in debt financing, highlighting the strategic value of this emerging U.S. REE district.

Pinard Rare Earths Project – Northern Ontario

In November 2025, Powermax Minerals announced plans to acquire a 100% interest in the Pinard Rare Earths Project, located roughly 70 kilometers north-northeast of Kapuskasing, Ontario. The property consists of 255 contiguous claims totaling 5,178 hectares within the Pinard Intrusive Rock Complex, an alkaline igneous system characterized by nepheline syenites and peralkaline granites commonly associated with REE-bearing mineralization.

Market Opportunity

Global demand for rare earth elements is projected to triple—from 59,000 tonnes in 2022 to 176,000 tonnes by 2035—driven by rapid electric-vehicle adoption and wind-power expansion, with supply expected to lag by up to 30%. The global REE market, valued at $3.95 billion in 2024, is forecast to reach $6.3 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 8.6%, according to Grand View Research.

China currently controls approximately 60% of REE mining and about 90% of processing capacity, prompting North American governments to accelerate domestic development. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $1 billion in critical-minerals funding opportunities, while Canada’s C$1.5 billion Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund supports projects through 2030. Together, this policy support and structural supply deficit highlight Powermax’s positioning within a strategically essential market tied to the clean-energy transition.

• The energy-focused holding company has scheduled its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for December 29, 2025, with a record date of November 21.
• A key agenda item is shareholder approval enabling the former shareholders of New Asia Holdings to convert preferred shares into common stock, completing the second phase of the Olenox–Safe & Green merger.
• The company is formally shifting away from modular construction to become an integrated energy enterprise, centered on Olenox’s oil, gas, services, and technologies divisions.
• Olenox is launching an aggressive drilling program beginning in Q4 2025, with ambitions to reach 1,000 BOE/day by the end of 2026.
• Safe & Green is expanding its digital capabilities through partnerships with Machfu for industrial IoT systems and OneQode for high-reliability communications infrastructure.
• The company’s strategy aligns with growing national attention on U.S. energy independence, amid rising demand from data centers, AI infrastructure, and domestic industry.

Safe & Green Holdings (NASDAQ: SGBX), a diversified holding company, will close 2025 with a shareholder meeting centered on defining the company’s next phase in the U.S. energy market. The firm announced that its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will take place on December 29. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 21 as the record date for determining those stockholders who are entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting (https://ibn.fm/poklU).

The meeting is expected to be a significant one for the Texas-based company. Stockholders will vote on the approval enabling the former shareholders of New Asia Holdings Corp. to convert their non-voting preferred shares into common shares, a move representing the final step in integrating Olenox Corp. and Machfu, Inc. into Safe & Green’s corporate structure.

CEO Michael McLaren said the completion of the merger would formalize the company’s shift from its former modular construction identity into a fully integrated energy company. “This final task in the merger of the two companies will mark a new beginning for the corporation, shifting away from modular home construction and into an integrated energy company with a strong container build business focusing on industrial builds such as generator sets, AI data centers and crypto currency miners,” McLaren noted.

Safe & Green’s transition into the energy sector reflects a broader industry trend, as domestic producers face renewed calls to strengthen U.S. energy independence. Rising consumption from AI compute clusters, advanced manufacturing facilities, and commercial data centers has intensified national concerns around reliable and flexible energy supply.

Through Olenox Corp., Safe & Green has assembled a vertically integrated structure intended to operate across the full lifecycle of an energy asset. Olenox’s activities are concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, regions with substantial legacy well infrastructure and distressed fields that hold untapped reserves.

The company’s structure follows three integrated business units:

• Olenox Oil & Gas – Acquires and revitalizes neglected or distressed oil and gas properties, bringing dormant wells back into operation.
• Olenox Oilfield Services – Provides reclamation, abandonment, and maintenance work for both internal projects and outside clients.
• Olenox Technologies – Develops and deploys proprietary tools, including plasma pulse and ultrasonic wellbore cleaning technologies designed to increase recovery rates.

Olenox’s business model aims to extract value from underutilized legacy wells, an approach that can offer lower-cost production relative to new drilling and reduced environmental impact. Many wells in its portfolio were deactivated during prior market downturns, giving the company an opportunity to reactivate them with modern technology and targeted capital investment.

As part of the merger, Safe & Green is incorporating technologies from Machfu, a provider of secure industrial IoT systems. Machfu’s Edge to Enterprise(R) platform allows remote field devices to feed operational data into cloud-based analytics, providing real-time visibility into well pressures, flow rates, equipment temperatures, and other critical metrics.

This digital infrastructure reduces manual field visits and enables more timely operational decisions, supporting the company’s focus on efficiency and safety. The platform’s ability to operate on private, secure networks also reinforces the firm’s environmental and operational risk management framework.

Safe & Green is additionally working under an Open Collaborative Framework with OneQode, a global digital infrastructure company. The partnership took on new relevance after a recent global AWS outage exposed the vulnerability of traditional cloud-dependent systems. Olenox intends to use OneQode’s network architecture to ensure stable two-way communication between remote wellsites and centralized command systems.

Olenox Energy announced that it is preparing for an aggressive drilling campaign beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025. Initial reviews have begun on drilling locations across its leases in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The company’s goal is to complete one new drilling project by year-end and expand to a larger slate of wells in 2026. McLaren stated that Olenox aims to reach 1,000 BOE per day by the end of 2026, combining output from revitalized legacy wells, new drilling, and targeted acquisitions.

Additionally, Safe & Green is consolidating its operational footprint in Conroe, Texas, centralizing manufacturing, logistics, and administrative operations. This consolidation is part of the company’s effort to streamline post-merger workflows and position itself near major energy corridors.

The integration of Olenox’s technology, services, and E&P activities is expected to create operational efficiencies as Safe & Green moves toward a unified energy development strategy. With rising U.S. energy demand, particularly from AI workloads and industrial electrification, the company’s focus on optimizing existing resources and deploying digital oversight tools places it within a growing segment of the American energy economy.

• Federal permitting for the Ambler Access Project supports future access to Alaska’s copper-rich Ambler Mining District, where Trilogy Metals is strategically positioned for development
• Trilogy’s Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP”) in the Ambler Mining District strategically position America in its quest for stable, domestic supplies for critical minerals
• With the rise of Alaska’s resource sector, the company is at the forefront of sustainable infrastructure expansion, growth, and energy security

This article has been disseminated on behalf of  Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) and may include paid advertising.

Trilogy Metals (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ), a company at the forefront of exploring and developing North America’s essential mineral assets, is driving Alaska’s next phase of industrial and economic expansion through the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP”) – a collection of copper, cobalt, zinc, and other critical minerals. Trilogy’s most recent milestone underscores the vital importance of Alaska as a focal point for America’s mineral independence and global clean energy supplies (ibn.fm/NN07S).

The company recently announced the issuance of federal right-of-way permits for the Ambler Access Project (“AAP”), a 211-mile, industry-purpose road linking Alaska’s Dalton Highway to the Ambler Mining District. The decision, an outcome of a presidential directive under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (“ANILCA”), establishes needed federal authorizations while also enabling engineering updates, construction planning, and new funding avenues.

The permits, executed between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service, and the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (lead proponent responsible for advancing the Ambler Access Project), restore a 50-year right-of-way agreement, helping unlock needed access to one of the most strategic copper-dominant mineral belts (ibn.fm/uLKXD).

• Glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) is an aggressive brain cancer with limited treatment options, and CEO John Climaco emphasized the company’s commitment to overcoming the blood-brain barrier, a key obstacle in brain cancer therapy.
• Lead candidate TPI 287, an abeotaxane, has shown early evidence of appearing to cross the blood-brain barrier and producing clinical responses.
• Phase 2 planning is underway following encouraging data from a Phase 1 combination study with bevacizumab (Avastin).
• The company’s repurposed global clinical network and regulatory progress position it for potential late-stage development in 2026.
• TPI 287 holds multiple Orphan Drug Designations, covering gliomas, neuroblastoma, and other CNS-related indications.

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in novel treatments for primary and metastatic brain cancers is sharpening its focus on glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), one of the deadliest and least treatable forms of cancer. In a recent interview on The BioMedWire Podcast, CEO John Climaco described glioblastoma as “one of the two greatest unmet needs in oncology today,” alongside pancreatic cancer (https://ibn.fm/nEVWs).

“There is no cure,” Climaco said. “Patients have very little hope. Our mission is to change that completely, and we think we have the drugs to do it.”

The company’s therapeutic strategy centers on overcoming the blood-brain barrier (“BBB”), a critical biological defense that restricts most drugs from reaching brain tumors. “The problem for patients and clinicians in the space is that the cancers take place in the brain behind the blood-brain barrier, which is this very specialized network of cells that prevents otherwise helpful drugs from reaching the site of the cancer.… We believe that is the reason why a cancer like glioblastoma remains one of the two greatest unmet needs in oncology today, the other being pancreatic cancer,” the CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO explained. 

Many promising cancer treatments fail to achieve effective concentrations inside the central nervous system. CNS Pharmaceuticals’ drug candidate, TPI 287, aims to bypass this limitation. TPI 287 belongs to the taxane family, which includes paclitaxel and docetaxel, but is designed to evade drug transporters that typically block these agents at the BBB. The compound works by stabilizing microtubules, preventing cancer cell division and promoting apoptosis.

Early clinical data suggest that TPI 287 could represent progress in treating GBM. In a Phase 1 study combining TPI 287 with bevacizumab (Avastin), 23 patients with recurrent glioblastoma were evaluated. Investigators reported three complete responses and nine partial responses, results that are notable given the disease’s typically poor prognosis.

Median survival for glioblastoma patients remains approximately 15 months despite surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. As such, any evidence of durable responses in late-stage disease provides valuable insight into potential therapeutic activity.

Climaco also highlighted how the company adapted its operations following earlier work with berubicin, another brain cancer candidate. “When you have a drug development company, you’ve got to realize that 90% of oncology drug trials fail. Those are the odds that you’re facing… That doesn’t dissuade us at all, because we know these drugs work. We have to prove that; that is our job,” he explained. “So, when we pivoted from our berubicin study to our TPI 287 program, we didn’t miss a beat. We have repurposed all of the work that we did to develop a global clinical network for berubicin over to our TPI program. We really just seamlessly moved forward on that.”

This repurposing of existing resources, clinical sites, data systems, and regulatory frameworks, positions CNS Pharmaceuticals to move efficiently toward its next development phase.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently announced that it will meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration later this year to discuss the design of a potential registration-directed Phase 2 study in recurrent GBM. The company anticipates launching the trial in the first half of 2026.

TPI 287 already holds Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for multiple indications, including gliomas, pediatric neuroblastoma, and progressive supranuclear palsy. These designations can provide financial incentives, fee waivers, and potential market exclusivity upon approval.

In parallel, CNS Pharmaceuticals continues to maintain visibility within the investment and scientific communities. The company presented recent updates at the H.C. Wainwright 27th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York in September 2025, where executives met with institutional investors and analysts. A webcast of the presentation is available on the company’s Events page (https://ibn.fm/kskOJ).

Beyond primary brain tumors, TPI 287 may also have applications in metastatic cancers that spread to the brain. Climaco noted that approximately 40% of patients with triple-negative breast cancer develop brain metastases, representing a significant opportunity for CNS Pharmaceuticals’ drug candidates.

“When you look at the opportunities in the space that a drug like berubicin or TPI 287 could have, not just in the primary brain cancer space, but in the metastatic space, in triple-negative breast cancer – where 40% of patients have a metastasis to the brain – the multiple and the size of the potential market for these drugs is absolutely enormous,” he said. “We have demonstrated what I believe is absolutely world-class operational expertise and the ability to bring a trial through to completion on time and on budget. We’ll do it again with TPI, and we hope that we’ll have a positive result and be on our way to a drug approval.”

So far, TPI 287 has been tested in more than 350 patients across several cancer types, either as a single agent or in combination therapies. These include recurrent neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma, advanced pancreatic cancer, metastatic melanoma, and breast cancer metastatic to the brain. The drug candidate has shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile, which is a crucial factor as CNS Pharmaceuticals moves toward larger clinical studies.

• Safe Pro Group’s SpotlightAI(TM) technology helped improve humanitarian demining productivity in Ukraine by 800+%, detected 550% more unexploded ordnance (“UXO”), and also cut costs, according to a recent field study.
• The field study compared the performance of non-technical survey (“NTS”) teams using Safe Pro’s solution vs. teams using other pre-existing methodologies.
• The company shared the findings at the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (“GICHD”) Innovation Conference 2025, which was held in Luxembourg.

Safe Pro Group (NASDAQ: SPAI), a leader in advanced AI-powered security and defense solutions, recently announced the preliminary results from an 18-month field study that sought to validate the financial and functional impact of the company’s SpotlightAI(TM) technology on humanitarian demining in Ukraine (https://ibn.fm/zj93t). The study was also conducted alongside Norwegian People’s Aid (“NPA”).

NPA and Safe Pro presented the results at the recent Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (“GICHD”) Innovation Conference 2025 in Luxembourg. The findings from the study showed that Safe Pro’s drone imagery analysis technology improved demining productivity by 800%, detected 550% more unexploded ordnance (“UXO”) and other explosive remnants of war (“ERW”) per hectare, and cut survey costs by around 50% per hectare.

Safe Pro’s Lead Scientist and co-founder of the company’s AI subsidiary, Dr. Jasper Baur, presented the study’s results with Kyaw Lin Htut, Senior Advisor for Innovation at NPA. The findings were discussed during the “Remote Sensing in Survey: Challenges and Operational Efficiency” session.

The study was conducted over a year and a half and collected usage and time reporting data from demining personnel working in Ukraine. It also measured the operational efficiency and impact of Safe Pro’s technology, which lets aid organizations determine a more accurate return on investment (“ROI”) for demining budgets.

This study measured the productivity of real-world operations in around 200 hectares (494 acres)-worth of surveying data and compared non-technical survey (“NTS”) team performance using Safe Pro’s SpotlightAI(TM) technology vs. teams using pre-existing methodologies.

Some other noteworthy highlights from the study include:

• Teams identified 850% more confirmed hazardous areas (“CHA”) per hour per team with Safe Pro’s technology.
• Over a 12-month period, surveys that used SpotlightAI(TM) were 570% more effective at defining CHA than those that didn’t use the technology.
• The technology led to 300% faster survey speed per hour per team.
• A roughly 50% per hectare reduction in labor cost, while also improving survey speed and accuracy.

Speaking about the study, Safe Pro Group Chairman and CEO, Dan Erdberg, said that “The comprehensive data presented by NPA confirms the dramatic impact SpotlightAI(TM) can have helping the nearly 60 countries contaminated with UXO return their land to productivity. Our novel approach leverages the power of AI and drones to protect lives and provide hope to millions who are denied access to their land. For years we have been working to maximize the ROI on the millions of dollars currently being invested into demining programs around the world by governments and humanitarian donors to restore land to productive use. We continue to work tirelessly alongside NPA and their on-the-ground teams to address the massive landmine and UXO crisis facing Ukraine and other countries around the globe.”

Htut also gave their thoughts on the study and results and said “It was an honor to present with Jasper at the GICHD Innovation 2025 conference on NPA’s nearly 2-year collaboration with Safe Pro AI in Ukraine. The preliminary findings of our study suggest an outsized impact in increased person-hour efficiency of Non-Technical Survey when using SpotlightAI(TM) to augment our imagery analysis of minefields in Ukraine.”
