News and Market Data on ProMIS Neurosciences

TORONTO, Ontario and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc. (TSX: PMN) (OTCQB: ARFXF), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, issued today a Chairman’s Memorandum commenting on the Company’s progress over the past year and outlook for 2022.

“ProMIS has never been in a better substantive position than we find ourselves now at the end of 2021”, stated Eugene Williams, Chairman and CEO of ProMIS Neurosciences. “We started the company with the mission to apply our unique technology to developing breakthrough therapies for patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and other devastating diseases caused by mis-folded proteins. We are now making significant progress toward that goal.”

Key points from the memorandum are outlined below:

• 2021 was a very successful year for ProMIS in terms of capital formation as we raised $27MM US, with the support of prestigious investors, and are well capitalized for the foreseeable future;
• Shareholder support was very strong for a resolution enabling the Board to consolidate shares, in a manner that could qualify us for listing on a major North American stock exchange;  
• Our lead program PMN310 is moving full speed ahead through the IND enabling work necessary to initiate our first in human clinical trial. The clinical readouts in the amyloid field continue to strongly support our scientific hypothesis that selectively targeting the neurotoxic amyloid oligomer will be key to optimal therapeutic safety and efficacy;
• Our existing portfolio of highly selective antibodies targeting pathogenic mis-folded alpha synuclein, TDP-43 (Tar DNA Binding Protein-43), RACK1 (Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1), and tau is moving forward at an accelerated pace given our capital position;
• ProMIS is very well positioned to be a leader in the new area of therapies targeting protein misfolding. We are pursuing several new targets in diseases like schizophrenia and expect significant progress in expanding our portfolio in 2022.
  
  

“We are very bullish about the prospects for ProMIS in 2022 and beyond and continue to believe that the neurodegenerative disease field has turned a corner,” concluded Eugene Williams. “Our unique, selective antibodies could be valuable contributors to making real progress against these devastating diseases and we remain committed to making that happen.”

The Company’s signal processing technology for arrhythmia care is being installed in a leading HCA Healthcare-operated facility in Southeast Florida

Westport, CT, Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BioSig Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BSGM) (“BioSig” or the “Company”), a medical technology company commercializing an innovative signal processing platform designed to improve signal fidelity and uncover the full range of ECG and intra-cardiac signals, today announced that it is installing a PURE EP™ System for an evaluation at the HCA Healthcare-operated Westside Regional Medical Center in Plantation, FL.

Westside Regional Medical Center is an award-winning 250-bed hospital recognized for providing a wide array of services to the residents of Broward County, South Florida, and visitors from around the world. The hospital’s electrophysiology program is one of the most frequented in Broward County, offering advanced diagnostic services and multiple modalities for diagnosing and treating arrhythmia.¹. In addition to its comprehensive cardiovascular services, Westside Regional Medical Center is certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Agency for Health Care Administration (ACHA). Westside Regional Medical Center is a facility of HCA East Florida, the most extensive healthcare system in Eastern Florida and an affiliate of Hospital Corporation of America (HCA). HCA East Florida has 14 hospitals, multiple ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, free-standing emergency care facilities, and a supply chain center, and an integrated regional lab.²

“Our new installation agreement with Westside Regional Medical Center increases our clinical reach across the state, with an installation in both the north and south regions of Florida. We are thrilled to partner with another leading HCA Healthcare-operated institution and continue to solidify our commitment to arrhythmia patient care across the state of Florida,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.

To date, 73 physicians have completed over 1750 patient cases with the PURE EP™ System. The Company is in a focused commercial launch of the PURE EP™ System in the Northeast, Texas, and Florida. The Company’s most recent evaluation adds to its clinical footprint in Florida, which also includes Mayo Clinic’s Florida Campus, a national Medical Center of Excellence.

Clinical data acquired by the PURE EP™ System in a multi-center study at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and Massachusetts General Hospital was recently published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology and is available electronically with open access via the Wiley Online Library. Study results showed 93% consensus across the blinded reviewers with a 75% overall improvement in intracardiac signal quality and confidence in interpreting PURE EP™ signals over conventional sources.

About 2,300 Americans die from heart disease each day – an average of one death every 38 seconds³. In 2016, 1.6 million Texas adults reported that they had been diagnosed with heart disease or stroke⁴. There were 336,462 hospitalizations of adult Texans related to heart disease in 2016, at an age-adjusted rate of 124.0 per 10,000 adults⁵.
