(NASDAQ:KALA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and provided a corporate update.\n\n”We continue to make progress on our corporate priorities”, said Mark Iwicki, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of KALA BIO. “We are actively enrolling patients in our CHASE Phase 2b trial of KPI-012 for PCED and are targeting topline safety and efficacy data in the second half of 2024. In addition, we are advancing our MSC-S pipeline and exploring opportunities to expand KPI-012 into additional corneal indications. We are also evaluating the potential of our MSC-S platform for inherited retinal degenerative diseases and other back-of-the-eye applications. We remain committed to maximizing the potential of our cell-free, regenerative approach to treating rare and severe ocular surface and retinal diseases”.\n\nKPI-012 is a mesenchymal stem cell secretome (MSC-S) that combines growth factors, protease inhibitors, matrix proteins, and neurotrophic factors to potentially correct impaired corneal healing, which is an underlying cause of multiple severe ocular diseases.

" Google's Legal Defeat Against Epic Games Threatens App Store Duopoly\n\nGoogle's recent legal defeat at the hands of Epic Games Inc. has the potential to shake up the app store market dominated by Google and Apple Inc. The ruling, which was handed down by a San Francisco jury on Monday, challenges the two companies' business model of charging high commissions to software developers. This decision is likely to have far-reaching consequences, as regulators and lawmakers around the world have already been scrutinizing app store rules.\n\nAccording to Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, this verdict marks the beginning of the end for the 30% commission charged by app stores. While Apple had previously won a similar case against Epic in 2021, this ruling was made by a single judge. The nature of the Google suit, where a jury unanimously sided with Epic, allowed for actual consumers to weigh in on the issue.\n\nThe legal battle between Epic and Google began in 2020 when Fortnite was removed from the Apple and Google Play app stores for bypassing the 30% commission by installing its own payment system. Epic then sued both companies, and the recent verdict found Google guilty of anticompetitive conduct, harming Epic, and illegally forcing its own billing system on developers.\n\nThis ruling also sheds light on the growing sentiment among consumers that major technology companies have gained too much power. Google has also faced scrutiny from the Justice Department over its dominance in search. As Google starts making changes to its operations and public pressure mounts, Epic's Sweeney predicts that Apple will also be forced to act.\n\nDuring the case, Epic highlighted Google's agreements with top developers to lower their fees, including a special deal with Netflix Inc. in 2019. This decision is expected to lead to more accommodations for developers and better options for consumers. As Sweeney puts it, "When you remove a 30% tax from an ecosystem, consumer prices will get better. Or quality will get better and selection will increase".\n\nHOBOKEN, N.J., October 31, 2023 -- Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world's leading learning company, has released new research that highlights the potential impact of generative AI on the global workforce.
