In total, 11 abstracts on givinostat were accepted for presentation at the Congress, including two for an oral presentation MILAN, Italy, July 11, 2025 – Italfarmaco S.p.A. announced today that new cardiac data for givinostat, a novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, in ambulant boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) will be presented at the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS) Congress, taking place July 8 - 12, 2025 in Munich, Germany. Post hoc analysis from the completed Phase 3 EPIDYS trial showed less decline in cardiac function throughout the study, compared to those who received placebo. In addition, the analysis showed no prolongation of the QTc interval in either the placebo or givinostat treatment groups. In a separate crossover study conducted by Italfarmaco in healthy volunteers to assess the impact of a therapeutic and supratherapeutic dose of givinostat, the administration of the therapeutic dose was not associated with any risk of QTc interval prolongation. “Individuals with Duchenne are at risk of cardiac complications as the disease progresses. The beneficial trend observed with givinostat in preserving heart function compared to placebo is encouraging,” stated Paolo Bettica, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Italfarmaco Group. “Furthermore, these data support the cardiac safety profile of givinostat, providing additional confidence for its use. We are pleased to share these findings at the EPNS Congress.” Individuals with DMD experience progressive skeletal muscle degeneration, and over time, they are also at risk of developing impaired cardiac function. Reduced mobility and the underlying genetic defect contribute to an increased risk of cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias, making routine cardiac monitoring a critical component of clinical care and disease management. In the EPIDYS study, 179 ambulatory boys aged 6 years and older with genetically confirmed DMD were assessed throughout the 72-week trial on electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (ECHO) parameters. At the end of the study, the givinostat-treated group showed a beneficial trend compared to the placebo group. In a separate Phase 1 crossover study, Italfarmaco evaluated the cardiac safety profile of a therapeutic and supratherapeutic dose of givinostat in healthy volunteers. The data demonstrated that the therapeutic dose of givinostat is not expected to pose a risk of QTc prolongation. The therapeutic dose of givinostat had no clinically relevant effect on heart rate or cardiac conduction, nor did it have a clinically relevant effect on the QTc interval. A total of 11 abstracts related to givinostat were accepted for either oral or poster presentation at the EPNS Congress. The list of all abstracts accepted for presentations can be accessed on the EPNS website using the search term “givinostat.” The European Commission (EC) granted givinostat (Duvyzat®) conditional marketing authorisation in the EU in June 2025 to ambulant DMD patients 6 years and older. Givinostat was also granted approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2024 for the treatment of DMD patients 6 years and older. In December 2024, the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved givinostat for patients 6 years and older who are ambulatory and granted conditional marketing approval for non-ambulatory patients. About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Mutations in the DMD gene prevent the production of functional dystrophin, causing the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC) to break down. This makes muscle fibres more vulnerable to damage and increases histone deacetylase (HDAC) levels in the muscle cells, blocking the activation of important genes needed for muscle maintenance and repair. As a result, muscle fibres experience ongoing damage, leading to chronic inflammation and poor regeneration. Over time, muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue and fat.1-4 DMD primarily affects males, with symptoms typically appearing between the ages of two and five. As the condition progresses, muscle weakness worsens, leading to difficulty walking and eventually to loss of ambulation. Over time, the heart and respiratory muscles are also affected, which are the leading causes of premature death.5 DMD is one of the most severe and common forms of childhood muscular dystrophy, with a global birth incidence of approximately 1 in 5,050 boys.6 About ITALFARMACO Founded in 1938 in Milan, Italy, Italfarmaco is a private global pharmaceutical company that has led the successful development and approval of many pharmaceutical products around the world.

On Friday, Japan's Nikkei 225 Index fell by 0.19%, closing at 39,569, as initial gains were reversed due to a significant sell-off in Fast Retailing shares, which negatively affected the overall market. Fast Retailing, the parent company of Uniqlo, saw its shares plunge by 6.9% following a warning that newly announced US tariffs would have a substantial impact on its US operations later in the year. This prompted the company to announce planned price increases. The cautionary statement came shortly after US President Donald Trump revealed a 25% tariff on Japanese products, effective August 1, intensifying the trade tensions between the US and Japan. In reaction, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba emphasized Japan's need to lessen its reliance on the US in key sectors such as defense, food security, and energy, describing the ongoing negotiations as a critical "battle" for national interest. Other prominent stocks that declined included Fujikura, which dropped 3.2%, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, down 2.0%, and SoftBank Group, which fell by 1.4%.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com
Solargik AgriPV Installation Solargik AgriPV Installation Solargik signs 85MW of new solar tracker deployments in Italy.Partnerships with Revalue and Free Ingegneria bring solar power to areas where conventional solutions cannot operate.Solargik unlocks the potential of sustainable solar power in complex agricultural areas.Solargik’s total Italian pipeline now reaches hundreds of MW, helping accelerate the country’s energy transition. Jerusalem and Milan, July 11, 2025 (8:30 AM CET) – Solargik, a global pioneer in photovoltaic terrain-adaptive energy solutions today announced the signing of 85 megawatts (MW) in new utility-scale solar projects across Italy, marking a significant step in opening up solar deployment in areas long considered too steep, constrained, or regulated for viable installation in Europe. The contracts - spanning a 45MW portfolio with Revalue, a third agreement with Free Ingegneria, and an additional 20MW challenging AgriPV project in Southern Italy - add to Solargik’s already substantial pipeline in Italy, bringing total signed capacity to hundreds of megawatts, further positioning the company as a key player in driving Italy’s clean energy transition. From the northeast to the southern regions of Basilicata, the projects reflect a growing shift in the Italian landscape: solar energy reaching areas previously written off as unbuildable or off-limits. Solargik unlocks solar growth as land constraints rise in Italy In 2024, Italy’s solar energy market saw record growth, adding about 6.8 GW of new solar capacity - a 30% increase over the previous year. As demand soars, competition for suitable land is intensifying, particularly with new national guidelines limiting the use of prime farmland for solar farms. Solargik’s terrain-adaptive and AgriPV-compatible tracker systems offer a timely solution helping Italy expand clean energy capacity even where land is limited. “Italy is one of the most strategically important markets for Solargik,” said Gil Kroyzer, CEO of Solargik. “What makes these projects exciting is not just the scale, but the innovation involved - sloped terrain, AgriPV readiness, low-impact deployment. They showcase how our smart systems unlock solar potential in all terrains, including places others would avoid. We’re proud to partner with forward-thinking developers like Revalue, Free Ingegneria, and others, each bringing a unique and ambitious vision that we help turn into reality. These are the kinds of solutions needed to accelerate the energy transition.” Revalue: Scaling solar impact through fast-track deployment Solargik’s collaboration with Revalue, 45MW across ten different project sites, is planned for fast-track delivery by the second half of 2025, leveraging Solargik’s low-impact tracking systems to minimize grading and maximize yield across diverse terrain. “Solargik brings a rare combination of technical depth and practical execution,” said Luca Di Giacomo, co-CEO of Revalue. “They’ve helped us deploy quickly across multiple sites while meeting both performance and permitting goals.” Solargik delivers engineering solution for steep-slope solar sites in 20MW Free Ingegneria portfolio Solargik’s contract with Free Ingegneria covers a 20MW portfolio of four ground-mounted solar projects in Italy, all scheduled for completion by 2026. The sites include slopes as steep as 40% - terrain that typically makes solar deployment technically and economically unfeasible.Solargik’s solution overcame this barrier by adjusting tracker orientation and deploying short-structure systems engineered for steep and uneven land. This approach allowed the projects to move forward within tight environmental and permitting constraints, without compromising on cost or performance. “Solargik’s adaptive engineering gave us options where none seemed possible,” said Marco Giovannini, CEO of Free Ingegneria. “Their ability to rethink standard layouts was essential in overcoming the site’s challenges.” AgriPV projects: advancing solar on farmland in Basilicata The additional project within Solargik’s 85MW Italian rollout includes an AgriPV development for 20MW in the southern region of Basilicata. The project is situated on sloped agricultural land and includes strict environmental and permitting constraints. Solargik is deploying a specialized tracker system designed for AgriPV environments with 1.3 m ground clearance and a maximum height of 2.5 m. Solargik solutions are designed for low-impact development, avoiding cutting into the terrain, aligning with sustainable permitting policies, and offering a path forward for agricultural zones where conventional systems would be ruled out.
