Delta-Fly Pharma Inc.: Update for Development Status of DFP-17729
4.12.2024 13:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
We are excited to share our latest development status.
We are pleased to announce that as a result of consultation with the PMDA on December 3rd, 2024, the Phase II/III clinical trial of DFP-17729 in combination with TS-1 versus TS-1 alone in patients with pancreatic cancer after third-line treatment was approved.
In a Phase I/II study of DFP-17729 in combination with TS-1 in patients with end-stage pancreatic cancer, no significant difference was observed against the control treatment (TS-1 or gemcitabine), but stratified analysis showed that when patients in the third-line or later treatment were treated for more than 6 weeks, DFP-17729 in combination with TS-1 showed a predominant median overall survival (mOS) prolongation (9.0 months vs. 6.1 months) and a significant correlation was also observed between urinary alkalinization and mOS in pancreatic cancer patients treated with DFP-17729, as key proof of concept. We had presented these results at the ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2024 and the 55 Annual Meeting of the Japan Pancreas Society, where much attention was paid to the presentation.
DFP-17729 is a novel approach to neutralize the acidic cancer microenvironment, and several patents on related inventions have been granted in major countries around the world, and its potential of efficacy has been published in peer-reviewed journals.
We will first identify DFP-17729 as a treatment for refractory pancreatic cancer, for which effective treatment is not yet available, and then seek to expand the indication to other types of cancer through partnership with major global pharmaceutical companies.
Please take notice of our own innovative approach for miserable cancer patients and contact us.

Rivercell Launches With $25 Million to Build Data Platforms and AI Models That Predict How Human Cells Respond to Treatment7.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Rivercell, a Paris-based biotechnology and AI company building its own data infrastructure on how human cells respond to any treatment and training a world model of the cell that can predict those responses, today announced a $25 million seed round led by HV. HCVC, Alven and Bpifrance Digital Venture also participated in the round, which will fund the scale-up of Rivercell’s proprietary data generation platform, the expansion of its wet lab in Paris (a lab working with chemicals and biological samples), and the launch of its AI Virtual Cell program. Being indication-agnostic, Rivercell's world model can drive groundbreaking discovery across any cell behavior that leads to disease because it learns the underlying rules of how human cells respond to drugs and genetic changes, not the features of a single disease. Rivercell was started in summer 2025 by CEO Yann Fleureau, the engineer-turned-entrepreneur behind AI company Cardiologs, joined in 2026 by CSO Eric Durand, an AI scientist and
NTT DATA Opens AI Factory Munich Where Clients Can Validate their AI in a Live Environment7.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, today opened the NTT DATA AI Factory Munich, a real-world environment where clients can test how their AI applications will perform at scale before they invest in broad deployments. Unlike a traditional AI demonstration or innovation lab, the AI Factory Munich operates within a live data center environment (NTT Global Data Centers' Munich 2 Data Center), allowing clients to evaluate AI workloads against the infrastructure, security, data, governance and operational requirements they will face in production. AI deployments typically stall between pilots that prove an idea and enterprise-scale production that delivers value. To bridge this gap, the AI Factory Munich leverages NTT DATA’s capabilities from consulting, infrastructure and AI platforms to managed services, data centers and its global partner ecosystem. Among active partners, NVIDIA provides an accelerated computing platform, including NVIDIA Blackwell
Print Infrastructure Is the Biggest Zero Trust Gap CIOs Haven’t Closed, Survey Finds7.10.2026 15:30:00 EEST | Press release
Vasion today released new research revealing a security gap hiding in plain sight across enterprise IT: CIOs and IT leaders know their print environments carry risk, but print remains largely outside their Zero Trust strategies even as failures continue to disrupt business operations. According to an independent survey of 500+ enterprise CIOs and senior IT leaders commissioned by Vasion through Censuswide, 54% of respondents describe their print environment as “actively managed, with known and accepted risks.” At the same time, 61% report that print or document workflow failures disrupt their business at least once a week.
