MA-DECIPHERA
19.7.2024 02:01:34 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Ono Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, Japan; President: Toichi Takino; “Ono”) today announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has accepted the marketing authorization application (MAA) for vimseltinib, a colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), for the treatment of patients with tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), which is under development by Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Deciphera”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ono. The review of the MAA begins under the EMA’s centralized review process for all 27 member states of the European Union (EU), as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Vimseltinib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of TGCT by the EMA in December 2019.

“Building upon positive results from the MOTION pivotal Phase 3 study, we are excited to initiate the regulatory review process in the EU and we are one step closer in our mission to bring vimseltinib to TGCT patients in need of an effective and well-tolerated treatment,” said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals.
The submission is supported by the data from the pivotal Phase 3 MOTION study, evaluating the efficacy and safety of vimseltinib in patients with TGCT not amenable to surgery with no prior anti-CSF1/CSF1R therapy (prior therapy with imatinib or nilotinib allowed), compared to placebo. In the study, vimseltinib demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful objective response rate (ORR) at Week 25 in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, as assessed by Blinded Independent Radiologic Review (BIRR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), versus placebo (40% in vimseltinib arm vs 0% in placebo arm, p <0.0001). Additionally, vimseltinib demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus placebo in all key secondary endpoints. The safety profile of vimseltinib is manageable and safety data from MOTION are consistent with data previously disclosed in the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of vimseltinib*. Data from the MOTION study was presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

About the MOTION Study
The MOTION study is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of vimseltinib in patients with TGCT not amenable to surgery with no prior anti-CSF1/CSF1R therapy (prior therapy with imatinib or nilotinib allowed). The primary endpoint of the study is an objective response rate (ORR) at Week 25 in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, as assessed by Blinded Independent Radiologic Review (BIRR) per using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), versus placebo. The secondary endpoint includes ORR per tumor volume score (TVS), active range of motion (ROM), physical function, stiffness, quality of life, and pain, all assessed at Week 25. This study consists of two Parts. In Part 1, patients were randomized to receive either vimseltinib or placebo for 24 weeks. In Part 2, patients randomized to placebo in Part 1 have the option to receive vimseltinib, and all patients receive vimseltinib for a long-term period in an open-label setting.
About Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT)
TGCT is a rare disease caused by a translocation in colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) gene resulting in overexpression of CSF1 and recruitment of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R)-positive inflammatory cells into the lesion. TGCT is a rare, non-malignant tumor that develops inside or near joints. TGCT is caused by dysregulation of the CSF1 gene leading to overproduction of CSF1. TGCT is also known as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCT-TS) or pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), a diffuse-type of TGCT. Although benign, these tumors can grow and cause damage to surrounding tissues and structures inducing pain, swelling, and limitation of movement of the joint. Surgery is the main treatment option; however, these tumors tend to recur, particularly in diffuse-type TGCT. If untreated or if the tumor continually recurs, damage and degeneration may occur in the affected joint and surrounding tissues, which may cause significant disability. For a subset of patients who are not amenable to surgery, systemic treatment options are limited and a new therapeutic option for TGCT is needed.
About Vimseltinib
Vimseltinib is an investigational, oral switch-control tyrosine kinase inhibitor specifically designed to selectively and potently inhibit CSF1R. Vimseltinib has been developed using Deciphera’s proprietary switch-control kinase inhibitor platform.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
