Antigua and Barbuda Foreign Minister Charles Fernandez thanks Dubai for support following Hurricane Irma



Dubai, United Arab Emirates.-Wednesday, November 1st 2017 [ AETOS Wire ]

The Honorable Charles Fernandez, Minister of  Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Antigua and Barbuda, met with HE Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer at Dubai Cares last week to discuss the latest developments in Antigua and Barbuda following Hurricane Irma. The meeting took place at Dubai Cares headquarters in the presence of Abdulla Ahmed Al Shehhi, Chief Operating Officer and Annina Mattsson, Director of Programs at Dubai Cares.

During the meeting, Mr. Fernandez went over with HE Al Gurg Dubai Cares’ latest program in Antigua and Barbuda.  He also expressed his gratitude and appreciation for UAE’s generous donations and tremendous support in the wake of hurricane Irma.

Dubai Cares’ program in Antigua and Barbuda, titled ‘Renovation of Villa Primary School in Antigua and Barbuda’, is being implemented in partnership with the Extended Arms Foundation and aims to renovate the Villa Primary School Antigua, and improve the physical environment and infrastructure at the school. This program, which benefits 355 school children, meets the government's commitment to providing quality education for the children of Antigua while using the renovated Villa Primary School as a benchmark for future schools in the country.

Following the meeting, HE Tariq Al Gurg said, “Although our program started early this year, our intervention in Antigua and Barbuda comes at a time when support to the education sector in the Caribbean is in dire need of help following the recent devastation brought on by hurricane Irma. Through this program, Dubai Cares aims to improve the learning environment in this country so that there is an improvement in the academic performance of students.”

Dubai Cares program is designed to drive lasting institutional and structural changes, aimed at enhancing the quality of education, reflecting the organization commitment to continuously identify new interventions, particularly where countries are in need of resources, improved infrastructures and provide quality education to support the development of children.

Since its inception, Dubai Cares, part of  Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, has been working towards providing children and young people in developing countries with access to quality education through the design and funding of programs that aim to be integrated, impactful, sustainable and scalable. As a result, the UAE-based global philanthropic organization has successfully launched education programs reaching over 16 million beneficiaries in 45 developing countries.

UAE, Represented by DEWA, Ranks First in the World in Getting Electricity as per World Bank’s Report



Dubai, United Arab Emirates.-Wednesday, November 1st 2017 [ AETOS Wire ]

The UAE, represented by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), ranked first in the world in getting electricity, as per the World Bank’s Doing Business 2018 report. The report uses multiple criteria to measure the ease of doing business in 190 countries.

DEWA’s Al Namoos (Emirati word that describes a race winner) service provides consultants and contractors with electricity connections of up to 150 kilowatts (kW) in just two steps within 10 days. The first step takes 8 days, and includes the application for electricity connections through low-voltage cables, with the first monthly bill postponed until after the electricity is connected. The second step takes two days and includes technical inspection and operation of the final service.

“We work to achieve the vision of our wise leadership, represented by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE; and HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to shape the future and adopt innovation to enhance the sustainability of development across all sectors. This supports the objectives of the UAE Centennial 2071 to secure a brighter future for generations to come, and make the UAE the best country in the world,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

Al Tayer commended the role of contractors and consultants who actively participated in the creativity labs and seminars that DEWA organised. Participants made recommendations for continuous improvements that facilitate and accelerate the mechanism of access to electricity services, in accordance with the highest international standards and practices.

DEWA has achieved competitive results in efficiency and reliability, compared to European and American utilities. It has reduced losses from electricity transmission and distribution networks to 3.3% compared to 6-7% in Europe and the US, and water network losses were reduced to 8%, compared to 15% in North America, which is one of best results in the world. DEWA also achieved 3.28 customer minutes lost per year compared to 15 minutes in Europe.

Boehringer Ingelheim expands collaboration with Sarah Cannon Research Institute to investigate novel immuno-oncology combination therapy

> Expanded partnership will evaluate SMAC mimetic alone and in combination with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for the treatment of solid tumours

> Combination of Boehringer Ingelheim’s anti-PD-1 and SMAC mimetic has potential for increased effectiveness due to complementary modes of action

INGELHEIM, Germany & NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Tuesday, October 31st 2017 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Boehringer Ingelheim and Sarah Cannon Research Institute today announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to bring innovative treatments to cancer patients by developing novel immuno-oncology therapies. The new effort combines Boehringer Ingelheim’s oncology research and Sarah Cannon’s expertise in clinical trial design and recruitment to evaluate BI 891065, a novel and potent SMAC mimetic, alone and as a potential combination partner with PD-1-directed cancer therapy.

SMAC mimetics are a new class of targeted, small molecules that trigger tumor cell death and immune system activation that may enhance the activity of immunotherapies in the treatment of cancer. Through this collaboration, Boehringer Ingelheim’s BI 891065 will be studied in a Phase I clinical trial [NCT03166631] alone and in combination with BI 754091 (anti-PD-1) in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors. The first patient has been enrolled in the Phase I study, which aims to include approximately 100 patients. Previously, the partners had announced a joint clinical development program to study Boehringer Ingelheim’s BI 754091 (anti-PD-1) and BI 754111 (anti-LAG 3) monoclonal antibodies for the combination treatment of multiple cancers with high unmet medical needs. More immune-oncology combination studies are planned moving forward.

“Ground-breaking advances in immuno-oncology are expected to transform cancer treatment paradigms. We are significantly expanding our efforts in this area including a broad research program focusing on the development of rational combinations of novel immuno-oncology approaches,” said Mehdi Shahidi, M.D., Global Medical Head Oncology, Boehringer Ingelheim. “As part of these ongoing efforts to transform the lives of cancer patients, we are extremely proud to be one of the first companies to bring this innovative combination therapy of an immune checkpoint inhibitor and a small molecule targeted treatment to the clinical stage of development,” added Shahidi.
Preclinical data, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting and the Keystone Symposia Conference on Molecular and Cellular Biology earlier this year, suggest that BI 891065 is a promising combination partner for checkpoint inhibitors and, when used together, may provide a new approach to cancer therapy.

“We look forward to continuing our research to find more effective therapies for patients across tumor types through novel immune therapies and combinations of therapies,” said Howard A. “Skip” Burris, MD, President, Clinical Operations and Chief Medical Officer, Sarah Cannon. “This expanded collaboration furthers our mission to provide access to the latest treatments in the community for our patients.”
Through Sarah Cannon Development Innovations, a full-service, oncology-focused contract research organization (CRO), Sarah Cannon is providing comprehensive clinical development services and operational delivery of Boehringer Ingelheim’s early stage development programs. Expansion of the collaboration with Sarah Cannon, will enable rapid patient enrollment and expand access to Boehringer Ingelheim’s investigational oncology treatments through Sarah Cannon’s extensive network across the U.S. and UK.
