Patients report positive changes across all measured areas of daily living

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- After showing meaningful improvements in both the movement and daily lives of people with Parkinson's disease, and new drug will be submitted for regulatory approval.

Patients with Parkinson's, who can have difficulty moving, reported improvements in measures of daily living from the potential treatment, which also restored their 'good' movement time for an average of 36 more minutes a day than using their regular medication alone. Following these promising ARISE clinical trial results, which were presented at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, the drug, solengepras, will now be submitted to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States for approval.

"It is especially encouraging that in addition to the improvements in the good 'on' time, the patients themselves felt overall benefits in their usual motor function," said Ron Postuma, Chair of the MDS International Congress Scientific Program Committee. "In fact, the self-reported improvements are higher than you might expect for a 36-minute on time difference, which shows there is still more to explore about the possibilities of this drug."

Solengepras works differently than other drugs currently on the market, so its progress could also open the door for further innovations using similar techniques.

Drooling and saliva was the most significant self-reported change, and other outcomes included improved daytime sleepiness.

T-MAXIMUM's B7-H3-Targeted Allogeneic CAR-T MT027 Receives FDA Clearance for Phase 2 Study in Brain Metastases from Lung and Breast Cancer

BEIJING, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- T-MAXIMUM PHARMACEUTICAL ("T-MAXIMUM") today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the company to initiate a Phase 2 clinical study of MT027, its internally developed, B7-H3-targeted universal (allogeneic) CAR-T therapy, for the treatment of patients with brain metastases from lung cancer and breast cancer.

This is the second Phase 2 study of MT027 to receive FDA clearance. MT027 was previously cleared by the FDA to proceed with a Phase 2 study in recurrent glioblastoma, and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Fast Track Designation (FTD). With two FDA-cleared Phase 2 programs, T-MAXIMUM has established a dual-indication portfolio for universal CAR-T therapy covering both primary and metastatic intracranial solid tumors.

Brain Metastases: An Unanswered Clinical Question Despite Advances in Systemic Therapy

Brain metastases commonly arise in patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer. International studies estimate that approximately 20% of cancer patients may develop brain metastases over the course of their disease, a proportion that can reach 20% to 40% among patients with advanced solid tumors.[1][2] For patients, this means far more than an additional lesion on imaging: brain metastases may be accompanied by headaches, seizures, and cognitive and motor impairment, directly affecting daily life and subsequent treatment options.

This is a truly global clinical challenge. In 2022, there were nearly 20 million new cancer cases worldwide, including nearly 2.5 million new cases of lung cancer and approximately 2.3 million new cases of female breast cancer – the two leading primary tumor types giving rise to brain metastases.[3] Asia accounts for roughly half of all new cancer cases globally;[4] in the United States, an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 patients are newly diagnosed with brain metastases each year.[2] This large patient population means brain metastasis is not a niche need, but a question that oncology worldwide must continue to answer.

Systemic therapies can help control disease throughout the body, but treatment of intracranial lesions often remains constrained by multiple factors, including the blood-brain barrier, tumor heterogeneity, and the need to preserve neurological function. This is especially true for patients who experience intracranial progression after prior therapy, for whom there remains a need for more treatment options that are validated intracranially while balancing safety and accessibility.

Consecutive Clinical Milestones Built on Long-Term Product and Translational Groundwork

MT027's recent series of regulatory milestones is no coincidence. It reflects an integrated capability across product, manufacturing, clinical development, and regulatory affairs built around intracranial solid tumors – one that is now advancing from early exploration toward more systematic clinical validation.

First, a foundation of clinical data. The company has accumulated sustained clinical experience in local delivery, repeat dosing, and safety monitoring for intracranial solid tumors. Years of clinical experience and data with MT027 have already led to two FDA-cleared Phase 2 programs. Data from an investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of MT026, a program built on the same platform, were published in Nature Communications in 2026: among 5 patients with recurrent high-grade glioma, 1 complete response and 3 partial responses were observed, for an objective response rate (ORR) of 80%, with no treatment-related Grade 3 or higher adverse events.

Early clinical data for MT027 in patients with refractory brain metastases from lung cancer were previously presented at the IASLC 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC 2026). Five heavily pretreated patients with no guideline-recommended subsequent treatment options completed treatment; among the 3 evaluable patients, 2 partial responses were observed. The safety profile was favorable, with no Grade 3 or higher adverse events and no graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). These rigorous exploratory clinical studies provide an important basis for the clinical translation of allogeneic, locally delivered CAR-T therapy in intracranial solid tumors.

Second, a well-defined manufacturing process. MT027 is manufactured using a fully non-viral gene-editing process – a generational departure from the industry's mainstream lentiviral vector approach – offering potential advantages in product safety, batch-to-batch consistency, and cost control. The manufacturing process was established and locked prior to entering Phase 2 clinical development.

Third, leadership measured not only by getting there first, but by advancing systematically. For an innovative cell therapy company, leadership in regulatory progress comes from coordinated advancement across product, manufacturing, clinical development, and regulatory strategy. MT027's consecutive entry into FDA-cleared Phase 2 clinical development demonstrates T-MAXIMUM's ability to translate its prior groundwork into a repeatable and scalable clinical development capability.

Management Commentary

"Receiving FDA clearance for two consecutive Phase 2 studies of MT027 marks a pivotal step built on our sustained work in intracranial solid tumors. From glioma to brain metastases, we have always let the data speak and put clinical value first. Going forward, we will continue to rigorously evaluate the product's safety and potential clinical value through well-designed clinical studies, steadily advancing product supply, clinical execution, and the generation of key data, as we explore new possibilities for patients who lack effective treatment options."

Frost &amp; Sullivan Names Tatsoft a Visionary Leader in SCADA
Image File
Original HTML

The Frost Radar™: SCADA for Industrial Control Environments, 2026 recognizes the FrameworX architecture, with AI engineering built on a Unified Namespace and knowledge graph.

HOUSTON, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan has named Tatsoft a Visionary Leader in the Frost Radar™: SCADA for Industrial Control Environments, 2026. The Frost Radar™ benchmarks supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms on two indices, innovation and growth, and Visionary Leaders are the companies with a strong balance of both.

"Tatsoft's combination of modern software architecture, embedded AI capabilities, and commercially disruptive licensing earns it a position among the Visionary Leaders, reflecting a strong innovation profile and significant growth potential," said Sebastian Trolli, Research Director and Principal Analyst, Industrial Automation & Software, at Frost & Sullivan.

Frost & Sullivan's profile of Tatsoft centers on FrameworX 10.1, released in May 2026, and on the architecture underneath it: a current .NET runtime, WebAssembly, so one build runs on desktop, web and mobile, deployment on Windows, Linux and Docker, and a Unified Namespace (UNS) and knowledge graph built into the platform. In practice, FrameworX 10.1 runs on .NET 10, a plant's data sits in one namespace, and engineers extend the application in C#, VB.NET and Python 3. Frost & Sullivan describes the platform as "one of the most current architectures in this Frost Radar™ analysis."

FrameworX is AI-Native by architecture: MCP servers for the Designer, the Console and the Runtime, plus an AI Tutor that adapts to each user's knowledge and experience, all released and supported today. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, lets AI agents and human engineers work on the same platform surfaces. With the FrameworX AI Designer, the AI works on the actual project and its tags in a cooperative and protected environment: every change is visible, and nothing happens behind the scenes or without an engineer's approval.

The FrameworX AI Runtime works with standard cloud models and equally with models installed on a local network with no connection to the internet. Each deployment can be given its own set of MCP Tools, so engineers and plant owners decide exactly what information operators and other applications can reach. Frost & Sullivan notes that SCADA customers often face data sovereignty, latency, cybersecurity and connectivity constraints that make cloud-only AI difficult. FrameworX meets that requirement: it connects to a model on the local network, or to external systems under cybersecurity best practices.

"Frost & Sullivan looked past the feature list to the architecture, and that is where FrameworX was designed from the start," said Marc Taccolini, founder and CEO of Tatsoft. "FrameworX is one unified and integrated platform, with every module included and with the performance and reliability industrial operations require, at a cost that keeps your company competitive."

Frost & Sullivan ties the architecture to modernization. Its profile says FrameworX gives Tatsoft "a software-architecture story that is stronger than traditional HMI modernization," and that unlimited-capacity licensing "lowers switching friction for customers consolidating multiple legacy SCADA or connectivity licenses." To make the upgrade of brownfield systems practical, Tatsoft is releasing a migration service built to update the technology with high reliability and at low cost. The application the plant runs stays the same; the platform and tools underneath it evolve. Automation and decades of experience make the process reliable.

The migration method and results are shown in the film "How to Migrate a Legacy SCADA Application: AI Builds the Screens, You Own the Model": https://youtu.be/VSTt4nkqK1s

Any plant running a legacy HMI or SCADA application can send Tatsoft a read-only copy of it. The copy is held in confidence, used only to evaluate the upgrade, and the report goes only to its owner. The assessment is free and takes 2 to 5 working days. If the plant goes ahead, the migration is a fixed price quoted from that report, and it is paid only if the plant accepts the result of the first migration pass. Specific field integrations, validation and field commissioning are done by the plant or contracted through Tatsoft's network of system integrators.
