Next-generation of vessels designed by CNIM
"Winning this European tender reasserts CNIM's status as experts in amphibious craft design. CNIM is to replace the French Navy's existing landing craft with fourteen new Standard Amphibious Landing Craft, also called EDA-S", notes Philippe Demigné, a CNIM Board Member.
These vessels will conduct amphibious operations from the well decks aboard Mistral-class amphibious assault ships (referred to “force projection and command ships”), carrying troops, military equipment or vehicles. They will be able to take part in logistics operations, depending on their location. They are also designed to evacuate citizens and recover air-dropped equipment during humanitarian missions.
Eight EDA-S craft will be assigned to the amphibious flotilla (FLOPHIB) based in Toulon, replacing the existing equipment transport barges (CTM). The EDA-S and EDA-R* landing craft will be carried aboard BPC amphibious assault ships.
The other six EDA-S will be deployed overseas, replacing various logistics barges**.
*EDA-R: Fast Amphibious Landing Craft, also designed by CNIM. Four EDA-R have been in service with the French Navy since 2011.
** based in Djibouti (2), Mayotte (1), Nouméa (1), Fort-de-France (1) and Kourou (1).
Strong fit between the EDA-S and EDA-R amphibious craft
The EDA-S and EDA-R are complementary in terms of mission capabilities and speed; they have similar load capacities*** and are both able to conduct amphibious operations in very shallow water (<1m deep).
Aboard a force projection and command ship, the French Navy can sail with either four EDA-S or two EDA-S and an EDA-R, as required.
*** The EDA-S is designed to carry 65 tonnes in its nominal load configuration, and has a maximum load of 80 tonnes, equivalent to the nominal load of the EDA-R.

New Clinical Study Publication Validates Respiratory Outcomes for the Onera Home-polysomnography System12.1.2026 14:30:00 CET | Press release
The results of this study provide further clinical evidence that patient-applied, patch-based PSG is a viable alternative to in-lab PSG, enabling broader access to gold-standard sleep testing. Onera Health, a leader in transforming sleep medicine, announces the recent publication of a multicenter validation study of its Onera Sleep Test System (STS) in the ERJ Open Research, a leading, fully open-access scientific journal published by the European Respiratory Society (ERS). This is the second publication from this study, and it demonstrates that the patch-based Onera STS home-polysomnography (hPSG) device accurately identifies respiratory events and distinguishes AHI severity when validated against simultaneous in-lab polysomnography and is a viable option for unattended home use.

France Expands National AAC Access for Agenus' Botensilimab + Balstilimab for Ovarian Cancer and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas12.1.2026 13:30:00 CET | Press release
Updated national AAC protocol supports hospital-based, fully-reimbursed compassionate access across three solid tumor settings Agenus Inc. (Nasdaq: AGEN), a leader in immuno-oncology innovation, today announced that France’s National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) has approved an updated national treatment protocol for botensilimab (BOT) plus balstilimab (BAL) under France’s Autorisation d’Accès Compassionnel (AAC) framework. The updated protocol expands France’s previously granted AAC authorization for BOT+BAL in patients with microsatellite-stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) without active liver metastases to eligible patients with certain ovarian cancers and soft-tissue sarcomas—diseases with substantial unmet medical need after standard options have been exhausted. The revised protocol is designed to broaden the eligibility criteria, allowing more patients with advanced solid tumors to have early access to BOT+BAL under reimbursed compassionate
