RDEB is a severe skin disease caused by a defect in both copies of the COL7A1 gene resulting in the inability to produce functional type VII collagen. Without functional type VII collagen and anchoring fibrils, the skin is fragile and blisters easily, leading to wounds that continually open and close, or fail to heal altogether. Patients often have large open wounds that can lead to serious life-threatening complications. ZEVASKYN incorporates the functional type VII collagen-producing COL7A1 gene into a patient's own skin cells, ex vivo, using a replication-incompetent retroviral vector to produce functional type VII collagen in treated wounds. ZEVASKYN has demonstrated clinically meaningful wound healing and pain reduction with a single surgical application. For more information, visit Indication ZEVASKYN™ (prademagene zamikeracel) is an autologous cell sheet-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Important Safety Information Serious allergic reactions to ZEVASKYN can occur. Patients should get medical help right away if they experience symptoms like itching, swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, runny nose, watery eyes, or nausea. In rare cases, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis may happen. There is a potential risk that treatment with ZEVASKYN may contribute to the development of cancer because of how the therapy works. Patients should be monitored for the rest of their lives to check for any signs of cancer. ZEVASKYN is made using human and animal materials. Although these materials are tested before use, the risk of passing on infections cannot be eliminated. The most common side effects are pain from the procedure and itching. This is not a complete list of side effects. Patients should call their care team for medical advice about side effects. Side effects may be reported to Abeona at 1-844-888-2236 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or See full Prescribing Information.

Bausch Health to Acquire DURECT Corporation, Strengthening Commitment to Developing Innovative Solutions for Patients with Liver Disease
DURECT's lead asset, Larsucosterol, is an epigenetic modulator with FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation Potential to be the first FDA-approved therapeutic option for the treatment of patients with alcoholic hepatitis Proposed acquisition strengthens Bausch Health's commitment to hepatology and patients suffering with liver disease complications globally LAVAL, QC and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE: BHC) (TSX: BHC), a global, diversified pharmaceutical company, and DURECT Corporation (NASDAQ: DRRX) today announced a definitive agreement under which Bausch Health will indirectly acquire DURECT Corporation, including a novel therapeutic molecule, larsucosterol, which can harness the power of epigenetic modulation. Larsucosterol, an endogenous sulfated oxysterol and an epigenetic modulator, has demonstrated promising results for the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) in Phase 2 trials. Bausch Health's hepatology development and commercial capabilities are well-suited to support the clinical development and potential commercialization of larsucosterol. AH is a life-threatening form of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), which can occur in individuals who chronically misuse alcohol. It is characterized by severe inflammation and destruction of liver tissue (i.e., necrosis). AH accounted for roughly 164,000 hospital admissions in the U.S. in 2021. There is currently no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved treatment for AH, and novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve patient survival. "This announcement is fundamental progress on our Strategic Priority - Innovation, which is to intensify focus and operating rigor behind R&D and business development and demonstrates our commitment to hepatology and finding new ways to address unmet medical needs, living our purpose of enriching lives through our relentless drive to deliver better health outcomes for patients." said Thomas J. Appio, Chief Executive Officer, Bausch Health. "There is a significant unmet need in the treatment of patients with AH given the high mortality rate and that there are no currently approved treatments. We are very excited to add larsucosterol, an asset which has FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation, to our pipeline, particularly as it builds on our existing expertise within the hepatology space. It is complementary to our ongoing Phase 3 program of soluble solid dispersion of rifaximin (rifaximin SSD) being studied in cirrhotic patients globally," stated Jonathan Sadeh M.D., as Executive Vice President, Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D at Bausch Health. "AH, by our estimates, is responsible for about 100 deaths per day in the US and billions of dollars in healthcare costs," stated James E. Brown, D.V.M., President and CEO of DURECT. "Since we reported results from our Phase 2b AHFIRM clinical trial for larsucosterol in AH, our primary focus has been advancing larsucosterol towards the completion of clinical development. We chose this transaction with Bausch Health because we believe it provides significant value for our stakeholders, both immediately and in the long term, should larsucosterol be approved and achieve commercial success. We view Bausch Health as the right partner to advance larsucosterol due to their expertise in hepatology, commercial success with Xifaxan and experienced development team. We look forward to the potential impact larsucosterol could have for patients with AH and the medical community that cares for them. Thank you to our team at DURECT and our partners that have helped advance larsucosterol to this point." A registrational Phase 3 program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of larsucosterol for the treatment of patients with severe AH is being planned. The trial will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study. The primary endpoint will be 90-day survival. The trial design will incorporate feedback received from the FDA during a Type B meeting under Breakthrough Therapy Designation as well as learnings from the prior Phase 2b AHFIRM trial in AH. The acquisition of the clinical development program for larsucosterol in AH compliments the ongoing Bausch Health RED-C clinical program which is designed to assess the efficacy of a next generation therapeutic, rifaximin SSD, to delay onset of first overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) hospitalization and all-cause mortality. There are no medications globally approved for the primary prophylaxis and delay in decompensation to first episode of OHE in cirrhosis. Patient enrollment in two global Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies is now complete with efficacy and safety results expected to be announced in early 2026. "The addition of larsucosterol to our pipeline is a strategic fit with our focus in hepatology and underscores our continued dedication to exploring and identifying new treatments for individuals who are suffering with liver disease and its complications," stated Aimee Lenar, Executive Vice President of US Pharma at Bausch Health. "We are excited to continue investment in bringing these breakthrough options to market, not just in the US, but also globally." Transaction Terms and Financial Considerations Under the terms of the definitive agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch Health will commence a tender offer for all outstanding shares of DURECT Corporation. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Bausch Health will pay $1.75 per share in an all-cash transaction for an upfront consideration of approximately $63 million at closing, with the potential for two additional net sales milestone payments of up to $350 million in the aggregate (subject to certain adjustments in respect of a retention plan) if the milestone is achieved before the earlier of the 10 year anniversary of the first commercial sale in the United States and December 31, 2045. The purchase price payable at closing represents a premium of approximately 191% to the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price of DURECT's common stock ended on July 28, 2025, the last trading day before the announcement of the transaction. This upfront consideration represents a premium of approximately 217% to the trading price of DURECT's common stock ended on July 28, 2025. The transaction is conditioned on a majority of the outstanding shares of DURECT Corporation's common stock being tendered into the tender offer and not withdrawn, as well as other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. Assuming the closing of the tender offer, Bausch Health will acquire any shares of DURECT not tendered into the tender offer through a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary with and into DURECT for the same per share consideration payable in the tender offer.

Lenovo Touchscreen Laptop (40GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Goes for Peanuts at 73% Off During Back-to-School Blowout
There are plenty of portable laptop options out there, but they can be incredibly expensive. If you want something reliable and one with decent specs, then it often helps to stick with a brand you know you can trust. One of the best options in that realm is Lenovo, and we've found an amazing deal on a Lenovo Ideapad today. Amazon has the 15.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad down from $2,200 to just $600, which is a 73% discount according to the listing. If you're after that kind of saving, and more importantly, the versatility that this laptop offers, then you'll want to pick this one up before the deal runs out. See at Amazon The Ideapad range is often a great choice for students, or those who just need a backup when they're commuting, or working professionals who have to travel a lot. Along with being fairly light and easy to carry around, they also pack in surprisingly high specs, and come at a good price point as well. This 15.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad is no different. The 15.6-inch screen is full HD, which means that anything you're watching on it will look good, but also means your reports, spreadsheets, or whatever else you're working on will be nice and clear as well. It boasts a decent amount of speed as well, thanks to the i5-1155Gy processor and the 40 GB of RAM. While it's not the fastest out there, it's great for less demanding programs and doing things like research, and it still has enough to help you multitask fairly comfortably as well. It also has a 1TB SSD, which can make it really easy to transport essential reports around, or just use it to ferry things between work PCs if that's something you need it to. It also means you won't have to constantly keep an eye on your storage, because nobody enjoys having to deal with digital inventory storage. It can even handle WiFi 6, which means amazing wireless speeds, and it comes with Windows 11 Pro, which means your operating system will be set for a few years. That's an awful lot of value for $600, which is probably why the price is normally much higher. This is an Amazon limited-time deal (73% off) though, which does mean that there are no guarantees when it comes to how long this deal will actually last. So, if you decide you do want this laptop, we'd recommend being quick about it. See at Amazon
