TOKYO, September 8, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that the results from a Phase Ib clinical trial (NCT06462404) of its in-house developed novel selective orexin 2 receptor agonist E2086 have been presented at the World Sleep 2025 congress, held in Singapore from September 5 to 10. These data demonstrate that once-daily dosing of E2086 has the potential to improve daytime wakefulness in individuals with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). Clinical Trial DesignThis randomized, double-blind, single-dose, multiple crossover, Phase Ib clinical trial was conducted in the United States and Canada to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of E2086 in people meeting criteria for NT1, compared with placebo and an existing treatment (modafinil). There were a total of 21 patients in the clinical trial (21 patients received the study medication, 19 patients completed the trial). Participants received a single dose of one of five treatments (E2086 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, placebo, ormodafinil) shortly after waking, efficacy assessments were conducted for each treatment.Efficacy was assessed usi...

TOKYO, Japan, September 8, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced it has decided to introduce the UNI-ONE hands-free personal mobility device to market and will begin sales to corporate customers in Japan on September 24, 2025.Honda positions UNI-ONE as a “mobility device to be used at destinations” after people arrive by car or another means of transportation. This envisions various use cases, including moving customers around designated areas within certain facilities, or to support diverse individuals, including seniors, to enhance performance and increase productivity in offices and other workplaces.The UNI-ONE will reduce the physical burden people experience on their legs and lower back while walking around, which will encourage more people who have been giving up on opportunities for an outing due to a concern about the physical burden. By commercializing UNI-ONE, Honda will strive to contribute to the “joy and freedom of mobility” for more people. UNI-ONEBy leveraging technologies amassed through its research on robotics, including ASIMO, a humanoid robot, Honda created UNI-ONE as a per...

Kawasaki, Japan, September 8, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the development of a new reconstruction technology for generative AI. The new technology, positioned as a core component of the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, will strengthen the Fujitsu Takane LLM by enabling the creation of lightweight, power-efficient AI models.Fujitsu’s new reconstruction technology is built upon two core advancements:Quantization: A technique that significantly compresses information stored in the connections between neurons that forms the basis of an AI model’s "thought" processSpecialized AI distillation: A world-first (1) method which simultaneously achieves both light weighting and accuracy exceeding that of the original AI modelApplying 1-bit quantization technology to Takane has enabled a 94% reduction in memory consumption. This advancement has achieved the world's highest accuracy retention rate of 89% (2) compared to the unquantized model, along with a 3x increase in inference speed. This significantly surpasses the accuracy retention rate of less than 20% typically achieved by conventional mainstream quantization methods like GPTQ. This breakthrou...
