NEWS -- VisiRose Introduces Revolutionary Therapy for Severe Eye Infections
Collaboration between Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and Provectus Biopharmaceuticals
KNOXVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / VisiRose, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, is introducing Rose Bengal Photodynamic Antimicrobial Therapy (RB PDAT), a groundbreaking, non-invasive investigational treatment for infectious keratitis and other serious eye infections developed by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (BPEI). VisiRose, a newly launched company of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals (OTCQB:PVCT) and the University, is focused on commercializing this innovative ocular research by combining a formulation of Provectus's pharmaceutical-grade bioactive synthetic small molecule Rose Bengal Sodium (RBS) and BPEI's light-based medical device to treat eye infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
RB PDAT offers a potential solution to the growing global problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), providing a broad-spectrum ocular therapy that may be safe, effective, and cost-efficient. The treatment has shown rapid infection resolution and improved patient outcomes in clinical trials across the U.S., India, Brazil, and Mexico.
"RB PDAT is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment showing remarkable promise for patients with severe infectious keratitis. This innovative therapy harnesses the power of light to combat infection and offers new hope for preserving vision," said Jean-Marie Parel, IngETS-G, Ph.D., FAIMBE, FARVO, Director and co-founder of the Ophthalmic Biophysics Center at BPEI.
Guillermo Amescua, M.D., Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology, Medical Director of the Ocular Microbiology Laboratory, and a board-certified ophthalmologist at BPEI added, "VisiRose is crucial for translating the innovation of RB PDAT from the laboratory to a widely accessible treatment, ultimately benefiting countless patients worldwide."
"VisiRose is the bridge that connects innovation with impact. It enables us to bring the hope of RB PDAT to patients who desperately need it, transforming lives and shaping the future of eye care," said Ed Pershing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of VisiRose and Provectus.
Dominic Rodrigues, Acting CEO of VisiRose added, "RB PDAT offers a beacon of hope for patients facing the threat of vision loss from infectious keratitis. This innovative therapy, with its targeted action and dual benefits, represents a significant advancement in eye care, paving the way for a brighter future for those struggling with this challenging condition."
In more than 500 patients, RB PDAT has shown promising results in treating severe eye infections where traditional therapies have failed. VisiRose is poised to address a significant gap in the $60 billion global ophthalmic market, focusing on regions and populations impacted by rising AMR and the lack of access to effective treatments.

here's a post I put up a few hours ago on the IVillage PVCT semi-private and Group Boards, reconstituted here if you don't have access to those boards:
Block trading today
Interesting consecutive block trading this morning between 9:52:11 and 9:53:16 ET, 245,000 then 250,000 then 476,923 then 143,100 then 250,000 shares traded, all at $.19, a total of 1,365,023 shares out of a day total of 1,883,184 shares traded. That left 518,161 shares traded the rest of the day, which would be a fairly heavy day of trading for PVCT outside of the fact that there were 66,000 shares traded pre-market at $.165, $.1711 and $.1721, and then 105,000 shares traded within 1 second after the opening at $.165 and then another 80,000 shares traded at 9:48:22 at $.1899. Throw in a 50,000 share trade at 10:32:16 for $$.196 and then 2 31,322 share trades at $.1901 and $.1902, and you have a grand total of 1,598,667 shares block traded out of that total of 1,883,184 total shares traded.
That left 284,517 shares traded in smaller lots, a more usual pattern for PVCT.
Is someone saying something to us, with this unusual activity?

NEWS -- Provectus Biopharmaceuticals Announces Publication of Preclinical Data of Oral Administration of Provectus Rose Bengal for Solid Tumor Cancers
Research on breast, colorectal, head and neck, and testicular cancers
Novel downregulation of WNK1 and Wnt signaling[/listKNOXVILLE, TN, April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Provectus” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: PVCT) today announced that data from preclinical research by the University of Calgary on oral administration of Provectus’s pharmaceutical-grade rose bengal for the treatments of solid tumor cancers were published in the open access journal of oncology Cancers.
Titled Identification and In Vivo Validation of Unique Anti-Oncogenic Mechanisms Involving Protein Kinase Signaling and Autophagy Mediated by the Investigational Agent PV-10, a copy of the University of Calgary’s journal article is available here: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/16/8/1520.
This work has been part of research conducted by Aru Narendran, M.D., Ph.D., professor in the departments of Pediatrics, Oncology, and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and members of the Narendran Lab at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The Narendran Lab provided preclinical proof-of-concept data supporting the efficacy of Provectus’s rose bengal in a panel of adult solid tumors. The Lab identified that the Company’s rose bengal downregulated WNK1 and Wnt signaling. In mice, the Narendran Lab also confirmed the clinical utility of Provectus’s rose bengal by intratumoral (aka intralesional) administration and demonstrated potential utility by oral administration.
Dominic Rodrigues, the Company’s President and Vice Chairman of its Board of Directors stated, “Provectus is focused on initiating an FDA-cleared, lead clinical development program for intratumoral cancer immunotherapy PV-10 to treat hepatic metastatic pancreatic cancer, and pursuing a path to an initial drug approval for PV-10. The Company previously demonstrated its systemic response and systemic immune signaling and activation in clinical settings for metastatic liver cancers.”
Mr. Rodrigues added, “Building on PV-10’s clinical safety, efficacy, and immunotherapeutic profile, the Narendran Lab’s preclinical data suggest that Provectus’s pharmaceutical-grade rose bengal delivered by oral administration may have the potential to treat a larger pool of solid tumor cancers.”
