First U.S. Patient Dosed in BiPASS: Phase 3 Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Study

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the first patient in the United States (U.S.) has been dosed in BiPASS™ (Biopsy of the Prostate Avoidance Stratification Study), a Phase 3 trial to  evaluate the use of Telix’s commercial PSMA-PET[1] imaging agents, Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) and Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) in the initial prostate cancer diagnosis setting. The dose was administered under the supervision of Dr. Brian Mazzarella at Urology Austin and supplied by RLS Radiopharmacies.

BiPASS™ is the first study designed to gain marketing authorization for 68Ga-PSMA-PET[2] imaging in the pre-biopsy setting. The prospective, open-label Phase 3 trial will enroll 250 patients across sites in the U.S. and Australia. The study aims to determine whether combining MRI[3] with Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies compared to current standard practice. Men with elevated PSA[4] often proceed from an inconclusive MRI to template prostate biopsy. This procedure is stressful and unpleasant, can lead to complications[5] and frequently proves to be of no benefit to the patient[6].

In the U.S., more than one million prostate biopsies are performed annually, yet up to 75% are negative[6], and one in four patients declines the physician recommendation of receiving a biopsy[7]. The objective of BiPASS™ is to demonstrate improved lesion detection and patient stratification by integrating non-invasive molecular Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging early in the diagnostic pathway, to enable biopsy de-escalation or, alternatively, greater biopsy precision when administered.

If the BiPASS™ study achieves its primary objectives, it could lead to a reduction in unnecessary biopsies, improved patient experience, and a significant expansion of access to precision imaging for patients with suspected prostate cancer, potentially increasing the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in a large new patient population.

Dr. Mazzarella, Vice President of Research for Urology America, said, “We’re excited to participate in the BiPASS trial at Urology Austin, which brings together promising technologies and emerging trends in patient care.  If BiPASS is successful in meeting its primary endpoint, it could eliminate the need for biopsy—reducing risks, side effects, and costs—and improve decision-making for providers and patients.”

Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Telix Precision Medicine, added, “Illuccix and Gozellix are already transforming how clinicians treat and manage prostate cancer. By initiating this trial, we are reinforcing Telix’s commitment to patient centricity, clinical innovation, and industry leadership—with the goal of eliminating invasive biopsy.”

About BiPASS™

BiPASS™ (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07052214) leverages promising clinical findings from the PRIMARY[8] and PRIMARY2[9] studies, which demonstrated that MRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can better define or rule out prostate cancer and guide active surveillance before invasive biopsy. Professor Louise Emmett, Principal Investigator for PRIMARY, serves on the BiPASS™ Steering Committee and as an Investigator on the study.

About Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Illuccix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and for selection of patients who are indicated for PSMA-directed therapy as described in the prescribing information of the therapeutic products.

About Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Gozellix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, and those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

Seela Launches an All-in-One AI Creative Platform for Image Generation and Multi-Model AI Comparison

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Seela announced its all-in-one AI-powered creative platform, integrating text-to-image, image-to-image, and multi-model AI chatbot comparison into a streamlined workspace, enabling users to explore, compare, and create with greater clarity and confidence. Designed for creators, designers, marketers, and teams interested in AI, the platform aims to provide them with creative freedom and informed decision support.

AI chat: Side-by-Side AI Model Comparison in One Conversation

One of Seela AI’s core innovations is its multi-model chat comparison system.

Users simply submit a prompt and simultaneously receive responses from large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and DeepSeek—these responses are displayed side-by-side on the same screen. This allows users to directly compare the reasoning style, tone, accuracy, and creativity of different models without having to repeatedly submit prompts across different platforms.

For professionals who rely on AI for content creation, research, or creative brainstorming, this approach instantly reveals model differences, reducing decision-making friction and improving output quality.

Flexible AI Image Generation Built for Real Use Cases

Seela AI also offers powerful yet easy-to-use AI image generation capabilities, supporting text-to-image and image-to-image workflows, enabling users to efficiently generate, optimize, and transform visual content. Seela AI also includes commonly used image utilities such as background removal, watermark removal, and popular art styles, usable without additional tools, making it particularly useful for social media teams, designers, and growth marketers who need to produce visual content at scale.

Designed for Speed, Clarity, and Creative Control

Unlike platforms built primarily for AI researchers, Seela AI emphasizes usability and workflow simplicity. Its visual-first interface lowers the learning curve while preserving advanced controls for power users.

“As AI models multiply, users shouldn’t have to,” said the Seela team. “Our goal is to give users control and visibility—so they can focus on creating, not managing tools.”

What’s Next

Seela AI is currently in its MVP stage, focusing on two core capabilities: multi-model AI chat comparison and AI image generation. In the future, Seela plans to expand to video model support and more creative scenarios, gradually developing into a centralized hub for AI-driven creation and experimentation for creators.

Seela AI is now available to all users. For more information about this feature and how to get started creating with any model, please visit https://seela.ai/text-to-image, https://seela.ai/image-to-image

Arspura’s CES 2026 Showcase Advances Next-Gen Ventilation for a Healthier Kitchen

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From January 6–8, 2026, Arspura, a premium smart home appliance brand focused on healthier kitchen air, presented its latest IQV™ innovations at CES 2026 and hosted a three-day brand program in Las Vegas. Centered on exclusive technology, respiratory wellness, and user experience, the program brought together experts, product leaders, and real customers to spotlight how better cooking environments can start with better indoor air management.

Professor Francesca Dominici highlights the importance of indoor air quality awareness.
Professor Francesca Dominici highlights the importance of indoor air quality awareness.

At the heart of Arspura’s CES showcase was its proprietary IQV™ Dynamic Particulate Capture Technology, designed to capture cooking smoke, grease particles, and odor at the source—helping reduce the common “smoke escape” problem many households experience with traditional ventilation. Through live demonstrations and deep-dive sessions, Arspura emphasized a clear brand promise for modern kitchens: Cook freely, breathe freely.

Day 1: Uncovering the Kitchen’s Invisible Health Threats

On the first day of CES 2026, Arspura kicked off its brand program with a keynote by Professor Francesca Dominici of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Professor of Biostatistics & Data Science; Professor of Environmental Health).

Drawing on her research on air pollution and health, she highlighted the risks of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and emphasized that even low-level exposure can make people sick. She noted that PM2.5 can be particularly hazardous for older adults, people with existing health conditions, and individuals with asthma, and stressed that preventing cooking-related PM2.5 from dispersing indoors and reducing exposure at the source is crucial for family health.

Reflecting on this message, Arspura underscored its commitment to helping more households—especially those with asthma or nasal sensitivities—cook with greater comfort by reducing smoke and odor irritation, so more people can truly cook freely and breathe freely.

Day 2: Redefining a New Standard for Smoke-Free Cooking

On the second day, Arspura’s product manager led a technical session explaining how IQV™ airflow design works together with high-airspeed capture (up to 13 m/s) to deliver high capture performance with minimal smoke escape. The presentation framed Arspura’s approach as more than a product: a combination of technology and daily usability designed to make healthy cooking feel effortless.

Arspura also welcomed a special on-site visit and interview from media figure Yang Lan, who explored the booth experience and shared positive feedback on IQV™ technology and the IQV Hood concept—particularly its relevance for people sensitive to cooking fumes who want a more comfortable kitchen environment.

Day 3: Bringing Healthy Kitchen Living Into Everyday Ease

Arspura closed out CES 2026 with strong momentum, earning five awards during the show. To cap the three-day program, the brand invited its first group of IQV Hood users for a face-to-face sharing session, paired with immersive, hands-on demonstrations. Through interactive experiences and practical use scenarios, attendees felt firsthand how the product can deliver “health protection” and “easy cleaning” simultaneously, translating the idea of a healthier kitchen into tangible everyday value.

Passionate home cooks also shared how they had previously tried multiple traditional range hoods yet still struggled with smoke escape and lingering odors, while Arspura’s IQV™ performance provided noticeably improved smoke capture and deodorization—making cooking more enjoyable and inspiring friends and family to upgrade after seeing the results.

What’s Next for Arspura

Backed by strong recognition at CES 2026 and reinforced by firsthand user stories, Arspura’s IQV™ showcase signaled a growing shift toward kitchen ventilation solutions that prioritize both health and everyday usability. Building on this momentum, Arspura will continue to develop smarter, cleaner-air technologies for modern homes.

Over the past year, due to their deep engagement with Yiwugo and their exceptional capabilities, Yiwu Gemei Electric Appliance, Xuping Jewelry, Ufree Gangao Warwick, Kemei Electrical Equipment, Zhangweichao Socks Firm, Little Bee Towels, Yiwu Aishang Daily Necessities Factory, Jinhua Siji Lvkang Daily Necessities, Zhejiang Pujiang Pudong No.1 Lock Firm, and Yiwu Hanbang Daily Necessities Firm secured the title of “2025 Yiwugo’s Top 10 Vendors”.

As an annual gala and a vital barometer of the Yiwu market, the Yiwugo’s Top 10 Vendors Competition has been successfully held for 13 consecutive years. Over the past decade, Yiwugo has remained steadfast in its mission to identify and honor benchmark enterprises that spearhead industrial transformation. To date, these efforts have brought to prominence a group of high-quality enterprises distinguished by robust brand strength and an exceptional industry reputation.

In recent years, as Yiwugo’s brand visibility and market influence continue to increase, the Competition has drawn growing attention and active participation from merchants across the Yiwu market as well as industrial belts nationwide.

A review of previous Top 10 Vendors lists shows a mix of seasoned players and rising stars. This year is no exception: veterans such as Yiwu Gemei Electric Appliance, Xuping Jewelry, Kemei Electrical Equipment, Zhangweichao Socks Firm, Yiwu Aishang Daily Necessities Factory, and Yiwu Hanbang Daily Necessities Firm demonstrated sustained excellence, while the performances of newcomers like Ufree Gangao Warwick and Zhejiang Pujiang Pudong No.1 Lock Firm were particularly impressive.

“During this year’s Competition, many customers reached out to me after seeing the rankings to cheer me on.” Operating in District 2 of the Yiwu International Trade City, Ufree Gangao Warwick specializes in hairdressing scissors, high-speed hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, hot air brushes, and other beauty gadgets. Its products perform strongly across Europe, the US, South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, ranking among the top in their respective categories on cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.

Founded in 1995, Ufree Gangao Warwick has remained steadfast in its brand-led strategy, with its proprietary brands now registered in more than 100 countries. “We joined Yiwugo the moment it launched. Many customers have discovered our offline store through the platform, which has delivered tangible results in traffic generation, transaction conversion, and brand exposure,” said Lin Yuncun, head of Ufree Gangao Warwick. This year marks the company’s first debut on the Top 10 Vendors list, an achievement widely regarded as an endorsement from both the market and its customers. Ufree Gangao Warwick will cherish this achievement and use the momentum from the competition to further strengthen its brand influence, laying a solid foundation for advancing its global brand agency strategy in the year ahead.

Zhejiang Pujiang Pudong No.1 Lock Firm also made its first appearance on the list this year. A true “dark horse”, the company joined Yiwugo 14 years ago and, after years of steady development, secured an impressive ninth place in its debut ranking.

“We specialize in wire mesh products, including welded wire mesh and fencing systems. Our offerings perform well in regions with strong infrastructure demand, such as Africa and South America. Africa, in particular, has been a core market for us. Through years of focused efforts, our brand has established a solid level of recognition across West African countries,” said Guo Xiaolei, head of Zhejiang Pujiang Pudong No.1 Lock Firm. By taking part in the Top 10 Vendors Competition, the company hopes to leverage the event’s visibility and Yiwugo’s reach to introduce its own brand to a wider overseas audience, expand into new markets, and unlock fresh growth opportunities.

Whether established leaders or first-time entrants, these award-winning vendors not only stand out in sales performance but also set industry benchmarks in branding, digitization, and sustainable development. They embody robust growth momentum, outstanding innovation ability, and extensive market influence, collectively showcasing the resilience and dynamism of the Yiwu market.

Today, the wave of digital trade is rapidly reshaping the industry landscape. Deeply rooted in the market and keenly responsive to its evolution, Yiwugo has consistently positioned innovation and transformation at the heart of its development strategy.

Designed to support vendors at various stages of growth, Yiwugo offers multi-channel account setup services—including WeChat Channels, Douyin, and TikTok—enabling vendors to tap into new global trade opportunities.

Going forward, Yiwugo will continue to strengthen innovation, push beyond service boundaries, and expand its business ecosystem. By empowering merchants to fully embrace new digital-trade models, the platform aims to foster faster, closer connections between buyers and sellers. With digital and intelligent technologies, Yiwugo will be able to promote deeper integration of online and offline commerce, accelerate market transformation, and boost industry-wide efficiency.
