San Diego – September 11, 2026 -- Inhibrx Biosciences reported that its OX40 agonist INBRX-106, combined with pembrolizumab, produced a 48.3% confirmed objective response rate in first-line head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, nearly double the 26.5% seen with pembrolizumab alone.

Phase 2 data show the combination therapy nearly doubles response rates versus standard treatment

The randomized Phase 2 portion of the HexAgon study enrolled 68 patients across more than 80 sites in the United States, Europe and Asia, with 63 evaluable for the primary endpoint. Four patients (13.8%) on the combination arm achieved complete responses, compared with zero in the pembrolizumab-only control arm. Six-month progression-free survival reached 72.4% for the combination versus 42.8% for monotherapy, with median PFS of 9.6 months versus 4.9 months as of the August 19, 2026 data cutoff.

Yongin, South Korea – September 11, 2026 -- GCCL (Global Clinical Central Lab), a South Korea-based clinical trial sample analysis provider, sponsored the Asia Bio Partnering Forum 2026 (ABP 2026) as a Platinum Sponsor, using the Singapore event to pursue expansion of its assay development and clinical sample analysis services across the Asia-Pacific region.

GCCL held partnering meetings with drug developers across mRNA, radiopharmaceutical and antibody therapy segments

The forum, held in Singapore from August 31 to September 2, drew approximately 650 pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry professionals, investors and life sciences stakeholders, generating roughly 2,500 one-on-one partnering meetings. GCCL engaged drug developers working across mRNA and nucleic acid therapeutics, radiopharmaceuticals and antibody-based therapies to assess evolving analytical requirements in global clinical development.

Amsterdam – – September 11, 2026 -- NetActuate has moved its 2026 C-Band Transition Acceleration Program onto the NetActuate Media Substrate, a transport layer the company is introducing at IBC 2026, giving U.S. broadcasters a terrestrial path off C-band satellite ahead of a federally mandated spectrum auction.

Broadcasters get a redundant path without buying a second circuit

The program, first announced at NAB, now runs on infrastructure NetActuate already operates. A station group sends one stream and receives one stream while the company runs diverse paths beneath it. In a blackout test cited by the company, one path was taken fully dark and the merged output lost no data.

Berlin – September 11, 2026 -- The Brandenburg-Berlin Business Association (UVBB) warned that the Alternative for Germany's (AfD) election gains in Saxony-Anhalt threaten the foundations of the German economy, citing the party's push to exit the European Union and the euro.

AfD's EU and euro exit platform threatens Mittelstand, association president says

UVBB President Burkhardt Greiff told rbb24 Inforadio on Tuesday that the AfD has a "clear program" targeting the pillars of German economic strength: a robust industrial base and the social market economy. He said the party's plan to restrict the free movement of workers would directly undermine both pillars.

Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Only 52% of consumers in Germany and France are aware of the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, according to a new consumer study by IDnow, just months before the technology's mandated December 2026 rollout. The digital identity and fraud prevention platform surveyed 1,000 adults in each country and found that trust, not speed, will determine adoption.

Nearly half of consumers abandon transactions over complex verification

48% of respondents said they frequently abandon transactions when identity verification is too complicated or takes too long, exposing a commercial cost that financial institutions already absorb today. IDnow argues this friction creates both the market opportunity and the credibility hurdle the EUDI Wallet must clear.

Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Nearly half of European consumers, 46%, say they frequently abandon a transaction when identity verification is too complex or slow, according to a new IDnow survey released ahead of the EUDI Wallet's mandated December 2026 rollout.

The survey of 2,000 respondents across France and Germany, conducted by Sapio Research in June 2026, found that awareness of the EU Digital Identity Wallet remains low even as EU member states are required to make it available to every citizen by December 2026, with banks obligated to accept it starting December 2027.

Security concerns outweigh speed as the top adoption driver

Forty percent of respondents cited better fraud protection as the decisive factor for accepting the EUDI Wallet, ahead of data control (31%) and transparency over data usage (29%). Faster, simpler processes ranked lower, decisive for only 28% of respondents.

Munich – September 11, 2026 -- Nearly half of consumers in France and Germany, 46%, abandon a transaction when identity verification is too complex or slow, according to a new survey from IDnow published ahead of the EU Digital Identity Wallet's scheduled December 2026 rollout.

The EUDI Wallet Consumer Survey, conducted by Sapio Research in June 2026 among 2,000 adults aged 18-80 (1,000 in France, 1,000 in Germany), found that awareness of the incoming digital identity system remains low while friction in current onboarding processes is already costing financial services providers customers.

Lugano – – September 11, 2026 -- Fuze Finance has secured approval from the Supervisory Organisation for Financial Intermediaries and Trustees (SO-FIT) to operate as a supervised financial intermediary in Switzerland, marking the regulated crypto-assets infrastructure provider's first move into Western Europe. The approval, granted under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, allows Fuze to offer institutional clients crypto-asset infrastructure and stablecoin settlement alongside SWIFT, SEPA and SIC payment rails.

Four in five Swiss banks still lack a regulated crypto offering

Citing IMF data referencing FINMA, Fuze notes that roughly 80% of Swiss banks have yet to establish a regulated crypto-assets service, pointing to a supply gap in one of the world's largest private banking markets. The Swiss entry adds to Fuze's existing regulatory licenses in the Middle East, Turkey and Canada.

Velburg – September 11, 2026 -- Germany's push for a new federal housing corporation to fix the country's housing shortage is drawing scrutiny after Bavaria's state-run BayernHeim delivered only a fraction of its promised units, with industry experts arguing the real barrier is construction economics, not a lack of state builders.

BayernHeim delivers 1,700 units versus a 10,000-unit target set in 2018

Bavaria's state government pledged in 2018 to create 10,000 new apartments through BayernHeim by 2025. According to a response to an inquiry from state parliament member Jürgen Mistol, the company will complete only around 1,700 units by the end of 2025 -- nearly half of which stem from acquiring projects already planned by private developers. The portfolio is projected to grow to roughly 3,700 units by end-2026, still far short of the original goal.

Freiburg – – September 11, 2026 -- Intuitive Surgical has secured CE marking for Force Feedback instruments on its da Vinci 5 surgical system, clearing the technology for use across the European market alongside more than 100 additional system updates.

Force Feedback lets surgeons feel tissue resistance in real time

The instruments capture pressure, traction and lateral forces roughly 1,000 times per second, relaying them directly through the hand controllers on the da Vinci 5 console. A real-time force gauge, resembling a speedometer, displays the intensity of force applied to tissue during a procedure. Post-operatively, surgeons can review force data through Case Insights in the MyIntuitive+ platform to refine technique and reduce variability between cases.
