Arlington, Mass. – – September 16, 2026 -- Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELOX) has dosed the first two patients in the EXACT Study, a Phase 2b trial evaluating its investigational drug exaluren in patients with nonsense mutation Alport syndrome (NMAS), a rare kidney disease with no FDA-approved therapy targeting its genetic cause.

Trial targets 24 patients with a 16-week placebo-controlled start

The global, randomized, delayed-start Phase 2b trial will enroll 24 patients carrying nonsense mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes. The initial 16-week placebo-controlled portion measures the drug's effect on structural podocyte changes via foot process effacement, assessed through kidney biopsies in non-U.S. pediatric patients and all adult participants.

Oklahoma City – September 16, 2026 -- Acarix AB announced that a peer-reviewed study published in PLOS Digital Health found its seismocardiography (SCG) technology can detect heart failure with diagnostic accuracy comparable to NT-proBNP, the current standard blood test, while producing significantly fewer false positives.

SCG algorithm matches blood test accuracy with far higher specificity

Researchers at Aalborg University Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital and Odense University Hospital enrolled 218 patients, including 198 referred by general practitioners for suspected heart failure and 20 with previously confirmed HFrEF. Using machine learning, the team built two SCG-based scores: an 'AnyHF-score' to flag heart failure of any type, and an 'HFrEF-score' targeting the more severe reduced-ejection-fraction form of the condition.

St Cyrus, Scotland – September 16, 2026 -- ECOSSE has moved into its public phase following a September 4 launch, shifting the project from pre-launch activity to live platform operations built around its $ECOS token and a separate whisky-focused real-world-asset (RWA) initiative.

Public phase follows September 4 launch and prior token sale activity

The $ECOS Token Sale was already live ahead of the official launch date. With the public phase now active, participants can track vesting schedules and claim allocations as scheduled portions become available.

$ECOS token underpins digital participation across the ECOSSE platform

Kyoto – September 16, 2026 -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the SDR01 Series of high anti-surge chip resistors, achieving a rated power of 0.33W in the compact 0402 (1005 Metric) size, enabling manufacturers to replace larger-size resistors while maintaining the reliability standards required for anti-surge components.

New Resistors Guarantee 0.33W Up to 125 Degrees Celsius

The SDR01 Series guarantees 0.33W of rated power up to a terminal temperature of Tk=125 deg C, easing thermal design constraints in high-density mounting environments and areas near heat-generating components. ROHM achieved this by optimizing the resistive element and electrode designs of the chip, allowing high power handling to be certified in a smaller footprint without compromising the durability expected of anti-surge products.
