ExaGrid Announces All Flash/SSD Tiered Backup Storage Solution22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution with AI-Powered Retention Time-Lock (RTL) that includes a non-network-facing tier (tiered air gap), Auto Detect & Guard, delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery, today announced that it is shipping an All Flash/SSD backup storage solution with a unique front-end Landing Zone and non-network-facing Repository Tier (tiered air gap) that stores all backup retention using advanced data deduplication. The new SSD appliances ship with ExaGrid software version 8. ExaGrid’s unique Landing Zone and scale-out architecture allow for significantly faster backups and restores, as well as scalability as data grows, versus other SSD products such as Dell Data Domain inline deduplication appliances with SSD or straight SSD from Pure Storage. Due to three years of software work and the extremely fast performance of SSD, ExaGrid’s new SSD appliance models require a much smaller Landing Zone than on its HDD systems greatly redu
Overall Survival Primary Endpoint Met in Corcept’s Pivotal Phase 3 ROSELLA Trial of Relacorilant in Patients with Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today announced that ROSELLA, the company’s pivotal Phase 3 trial of relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel to treat patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, met its overall survival (OS) primary endpoint. In ROSELLA, patients treated with relacorilant in addition to nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy experienced a 35 percent reduction in the risk of death compared to patients treated with nab-paclitaxel alone (hazard ratio: 0.65; p-value: 0.0004). The median OS for patients receiving relacorilant was 16.0 months, compared to 11.9 months for patients receiving nab-paclitaxel alone, a difference of 4.1 months. Relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel was well-tolerated, consistent with its known safety profile. Importantly, the
Parse Biosciences Launches Workflow for Immune Repertoire and Transcriptome Analysis22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Parse Biosciences, the leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch of a fully integrated immune repertoire and whole transcriptome analysis workflow in its data analysis platform, Trailmaker™. The new functionality complements Parse’s existing portfolio of Evercode immune products to enable a full end-to-end workflow for researchers. Immunologists have lacked an integrated, purpose-built platform capable of connecting immune repertoire data with whole transcriptome single cell insights. As a result, interpreting clonal behavior, understanding functional cell states, and drawing meaningful biological conclusions has often required stitching together fragmented tools, custom code, or inconsistent visualization approaches. The new Trailmaker functionality directly addresses these challenges by providing an accessible, end-to-end immune profiling solution that brings repertoire and transcriptional information together in a cohesi
