Viread® for Hepatitis B Maintains Antiviral Suppression with No Development of Resistance Through Four Years of Treatment
“Gilead Sciences, Inc. today announced new data from the open-label phase of two pivotal Phase III clinical trials (Studies 102 and 103) evaluating the four-year efficacy of Viread® (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Significantly, no resistance to Viread emerged over 192 weeks of treatment, and 10.8 percent of patients receiving Viread in Study 103 (HBeAg-positive) for four years experienced surface, or “s”, antigen (HBsAg) loss, which is a marker of the resolution of chronic HBV infection. Additional data from these studies and from Study 106 show the durable antiviral efficacy of Viread among several key patient subpopulations, including patients with high baseline viral levels, individuals of Asian descent and treatment-experienced patients. These findings are being presented at the 61st annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (The Liver Meeting 2010) in Boston.”

Investorideas.com - Q&A Interview with BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX), Update on LibiGel® (testosterone gel) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction and its Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine

Investorideas.com - Q&A Interview with BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BPAX), Update on LibiGel® (testosterone gel) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction and its Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine

Stephen M. Simes, President and CEO Discusses LibiGel (testosterone gel) in Phase III and GVAX Pancreas Vaccine in Phase II

November 2, 2010 - (Investorideas.com newswire, www.biotechindustrystocks.com)
www.InvestorIdeas.com, an investor research portal covering leading sectors including biotech stocks and pharma stocks, presents the second in a series of Q&A interviews with BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX).

The first introductory Q&A can be found here:
http://www.investorideas.com/CO/BPAX/news/9211.asp

In this follow up, Stephen M. Simes, president and chief executive officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals discusses recent developments with its lead product in Phase III, LibiGel (testosterone gel) in addition to GVAX Pancreas Vaccine in Phase 2.

Q: Investorideas.com
Your company just recently announced that the Phase III LibiGel (testosterone gel) cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study will continue without modifications and will continue to enroll new subjects as a result of the fourth unblinded review of adverse events by its independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Can you give investors insight into the study, the subjects and the type of data collected?

A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Yes. We currently are conducting three Phase III LibiGel clinical studies, one of which is a very important cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study to which you refer. We now have enrolled over 2,500 women into this study and to date the safety of LibiGel looks excellent. The rate of cardiovascular events that have been reported in the study is significantly lower than was predicted for this population of women, and the rate of breast cancer reported is close to predicted. Our objective is to show the safety of LibiGel in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction for which there is no FDA approved product today. We believe we are doing that.

Q: Investorideas.com
According to your press release, A new drug application (NDA) can be submitted after an average of 12 months of exposure with subjects followed for five years in total, including after NDA submission and potential FDA approval. BioSante’s objective is to submit the LibiGel NDA in 2011. The average time for FDA approval is six months to a year. Once approved by FDA, the drug becomes available for physicians to prescribe for patients- so the company is looking at 2012 for LibiGel to be available?

A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Our objective is to submit the new drug application (NDA) in 2011 for a potential approval and launch in 2012. We belive LibiGel will be the first product to enter this market, notwithstanding the fact that Viagra was approved for men over 12 years ago. The time for women to have a product to trat their sexual issues has come!

Q: Investorideas.com

You recently stated , “With this most recent favorable DMC recommendation, we continue to believe that LibiGel will be the first product approved by the FDA to treat HSDD in menopausal women, also referred to as FSD”- for investors looking at potential revenue for this product , what does this represent for the company?


A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
The forecast for the size of the potential market for female sexual dysfunction products varies from $2 billion up to $5 billion. The market for erectile dysfunction products like Viagra is over $2 billion just in the U.S. We believe LibiGel alone has the potential to be a $1 billion per year product.

Q: Investorideas.com

In a recent article on Seeking Alpha, discussing pancreatic cancer, your company is featured in the section “Select Pancreatic Products in Active Clinical Development”. Can you give us an overview and update on the GVAX Pancreas Vaccine, Phase 2.
Article source for reference:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/232174-amgen-celgene-and-novartis-in-the-fight-against-pancreatic-cancer?source=yahoo



A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
We have a full pipeline of cancer vaccines in clinic al trials. In fact there are 12 ongoing clinical trials in pancreatic cancer and breast cancer among other cancer types. Cancer vaccines represent the next wave in potential therapies for cancer patients and we hope to contribute to that wave. Data to date have been excellent.


About LibiGel®

LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The on-going Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that will enroll up to approximately 500 surgically menopausal women each for a six-month clinical trial. The efficacy trials are being conducted under an FDA-approved special protocol assessment (SPA) agreement. LibiGel is absorbed quickly through the skin after applying a once-daily pea-sized topical application on the upper arm that delivers testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time.

In a Phase II trial, LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD by 238 percent versus baseline (p<0.0001); this increase also was significant versus placebo (p<0.05). In this study, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel. The Phase II clinical trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in the United States, in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.

In addition, the current market for hormonal contraception is approximately $3.0 billion. The market for oncology products is over $20 billion.
BioSante’s lead near term product in development is LibiGel® (testosterone gel) for the treatment of FSD. LibiGel’s clinical development program consists of two Phase III safety and efficacy trials, being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the FDA. Each trial will enroll approximately 500 surgically menopausal women for six months of treatment in double-blind placebo-controlled trials. Also ongoing is one Phase III cardiovascular events-driven safety study, enrolling between 2,500 and 4,000 women with cardiovascular risk factors, on therapy for one year and then followed for an additional four years after New Drug Application (NDA) submission and potential FDA approval. To date, over 2,500 women have been enrolled in the safety study. A completed LibiGel Phase II clinical trial has shown excellent results with a significant 238% increase in the total number of satisfying sexual events. There are currently no pharmaceutical products approved for the treatment of FSD in the U.S. however over 4 million prescriptions for testosterone were written off-label by physicians for women in 2009.

BioSante’s marketed product, ElestrinTM, is FDA approved to reduce hot flashes in menopausal women. The lower of the two approved Elestrin doses is 67% lower than the lowest dose transdermal patch available for the treatment of hot flashes. Elestrin is marketed in the U.S. by Azur Pharma.

BioSante is focused primarily on LibiGel, however, the Company also is seeking future development opportunities for its cancer vaccines, which are non patient-specific therapies comprised of whole tumor cells that have been modified to secrete GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), an immune stimulatory cytokine, and then irradiated for safety and are administered via intradermal injections on an outpatient basis. Currently, several of BioSante’s cancer immunotherapies are in Phase II clinical trials at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center and BioSante has been granted FDA Orphan Drug designation for its pancreatic cancer, acute myloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia vaccines.

Recent News; Boston Scientific Agrees to Sell Neurovascular Business to Stryker

“Boston Scientific Corporation today announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which Stryker Corporation will acquire Boston Scientific's Neurovascular business. The purchase price is $1.5 billion, payable in cash, of which $1.4 billion is payable at closing and $100 million will be payable following the closing and upon the occurrence of the commercialization of the next-generation Target™ Detachable Coils and the transfer or separation of certain manufacturing facilities, which is anticipated to occur over a period of approximately 24 months. The Company expects to record a gain upon closing in excess of $500 million, excluding any impact of the receipt of future milestone payments. Total after-tax proceeds, assuming the achievement of these milestones, are expected to be approximately $1.2 billion. The Company expects to allocate approximately half of the net proceeds to acquisitions and the remainder to the retirement of pre-payable debt. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the year, subject to receipt of regulatory clearances and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

Investorideas.com - Direct to Consumer Company, YesDTC (OTCBB: YESD.PK) Announces Infomercial for the MediPendant(TM) Medical Alarm, Airing on Six National Cable Stations

Investorideas.com - Direct to Consumer Company, YesDTC (OTCBB: YESD.PK) Announces Infomercial for the MediPendant(TM) Medical Alarm, Airing on Six National Cable Stations
Visit this company: www.yesdtc.com

SAN FRANCISCO - October 27, 2010 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Retail/ Consumer Stock News - YesDTC Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:YESD.PK), a direct-to-consumer global distributor and marketer of consumer goods and products, reports today it will officially begin airing its new infomercial for the MediPendant(TM) personal medial alarm, by Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCBB:MDHI), beginning today on six national cable stations in addition to local broadcast stations.

The new infomercial for MediPendant(TM) is sponsored by YesDTC and is set to start airing on Wednesday October 27th on the Discovery Health channel. It will continue to run throughout the week at various times on multiple national cable stations including Discovery Health, ESPN News, Inspiration, Lifetime Movie, Tru TV and TV Land as well as on local broadcast stations such as Northwest Cable News, until the end of the month.
Following the successful conclusion of this test market run, YesDTC plans to expand programming of the infomercial nationwide in a full rollout of the MediPendant(TM) marketing campaign. The campaign will target a wide audience of viewers in the 30 to 55 year age range who have elderly parents or loved ones that could benefit from the safety and assurance the MediPendant(TM) device can provide, including access to medical and emergency response personnel and/or personal contacts within the device user's network of friends and family.
The MediPendant(TM) infomercial can also be viewed by clicking on the following link: http://vimeo.com/16188152.

About the MediPendant(TM) Personal Alarm Device
Medical Alarm Concepts(TM) offers a unique, patented, medical emergency alarm system that is different from all other personal emergency response (PERS) systems on the market today. MDHI's MediPendant(TM) product offers several revolutionary and highly desirable features, including the ability to speak and listen to the operator directly through the pendant, an extended range of mobility from the base station, which enables the user to move virtually anywhere in or around their home, and a call center staffed around the clock with EMT-certified operators. Specifically, the MediPendant(TM) system enables the device wearer to move up to 600+ feet away from the main base station, a distance that far exceeds competitive offerings on the market today that instead require the user to be within speaking distance of the base station box, a situation that may not be conducive to an emergency if the end user is not near the base station.

Additionally, MediPendant's(TM) advanced call center technology allows for three-way calling between the operator, the user, and the dispatched first responders and/or a friend and family member. Currently, no other available PERS systems offer the benefit of three-way voice conferencing directly through the pendant. Finally, EMT-certified operators are guaranteed to stay on the line with the MediPendant(TM) user until the problem is resolved or help arrives.

About YesDTC Holdings, Inc.
YesDTC Holdings, Inc. is a direct-to-consumer marketing company specializing in direct response television (DRTV), internet and retail marketing programs. The Company brings a unique set of skills to this market space.
