Biotech Stock Alert; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD), ImmunoGen (Nasdaq:IMGN) Report on HER2+ Breast Cancer Developments
Point Roberts
, WA - September 29, 2011- Investorideas.com , an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks reports recent news and developments in HER2+ Breast Cancer treatment from Aethlon Medical (OTCBB:AEMD) and ImmunoGen (Nasdaq:IMGN).
Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), the pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, announced this week , the introduction of HER2osome™, a novel medical device strategy to inhibit the progression of HER2+ breast cancer, which is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis resulting from the over-expression of HER2 protein. Breast cancer represents the most common form of invasive cancer in women. HER2+ breast cancer accounts for approximately 25% of new breast cancer diagnosis.
A white paper entitled: "A Medical Device Strategy to Inhibit HER2+ Breast Cancer Progression can be accessed online at: www.slideshare.net/Aethlon/a-medical-device-to-inhibit-her2-breast-cancer
The goal of HER2osome™ therapy is to simultaneously reduce the circulatory presence of HER2 protein and breast cancer exosomes, which have increasingly become recognized as playing pivotal role in the development and progression of breast cancer. Researchers report that breast cancer exosomes suppress the immune response, stimulate angiogenesis, contribute to the spread of metastasis, and inhibit the therapeutic benefit of Herceptin (trastuzumab), a leading monoclonal antibody treatment against the HER2+ breast cancer. As an adjunct therapeutic candidate, HER2osome™ offers to address an unmet medical need and enhance the benefit of Herceptin and standard of care chemotherapies without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks.
On September 24 th, ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq:IMGN ), a biotechnology company that develops targeted anticancer products using its TAP technology, reported findings from the first randomized clinical trial conducted with trastuzumab emtansine (also known as T-DM1). Trastuzumab emtansine consists of ImmunoGen's DM1 cancer cell-killing agent attached to the HER2-targeting antibody, trastuzumab, developed by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and is in global development by Roche. The study findings are being presented (abstract #5001; presentation at 9:10 am CET on Sept. 25) at the 2011 European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress taking place in Stockholm, Sweden.
The results are from a 137-patient, randomized Phase II trial conducted by Roche comparing trastuzumab emtansine, used as a single agent, against Herceptin(R) (trastuzumab) plus chemotherapy (docetaxel) for first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Herceptin plus chemotherapy is standard of care for this cancer. The primary endpoints of the study were progression-free survival (PFS) and assessment of safety.
The Company noted, "It is noteworthy that single-agent therapy with trastuzumab emtansine demonstrated both efficacy and tolerability advantages over Herceptin given with separate chemotherapy," commented Daniel Junius, President and CEO. "These findings further demonstrate the power of our TAP technology. We expect the body of impressive clinical results to grow substantially as the number of later-stage trials underway with TAP compounds continues to increase."
Trastuzumab emtansine is in Phase III testing for first-, second-, and third-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (the MARIANNE, EMILIA, and TH3RESA trials, respectively) and in Phase II testing for adjuvant/neoadjuvant use for earlier-stage disease. Roche expects to report results from the second-line, EMILIA trial in 2012 and to use these results to support a global regulatory submission for trastuzumab emtansine in 2012. Three other compounds utilizing ImmunoGen's TAP technology -- IMGN901, SAR3419, and BT-062 -- are expected to be in Phase II clinical testing by mid-2012, with as many as seven other TAP compounds in early stage clinical testing.

Pharma and Biotech Stocks Reporting on Breast Cancer Treatments; (OTC: AEMD), (NASDAQ: SPPI), (NASDAQ:RXII), (OTCBB: GNBT)
Point Roberts, WA - September 23, 2011- Investorideas.com , an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an update and recent news from Biotech, Pharma and Medical Technology stocks reporting on developments in the treatment of breast cancer.
Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD ), a pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices, announced this week, HER2osome™, a novel medical device strategy to inhibit the progression of HER2+ breast cancer, which is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis resulting from the over-expression of HER2 protein. Breast cancer represents the most common form of invasive cancer in women. HER2+ breast cancer accounts for approximately 25% of new breast cancer diagnosis.
The goal of HER2osome™ therapy is to simultaneously reduce the circulatory presence of HER2 protein and breast cancer exosomes, which have increasingly become recognized as playing pivotal role in the development and progression of breast cancer. Researchers report that breast cancer exosomes suppress the immune response, stimulate angiogenesis, contribute to the spread of metastasis, and inhibit the therapeutic benefit of Herceptin (trastuzumab), a leading monoclonal antibody treatment against the HER2+ breast cancer. As an adjunct therapeutic candidate, HER2osome™ offers to address an unmet medical need and enhance the benefit of Herceptin and standard of care chemotherapies without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks.
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NasdaqGS: SPPI ) announced Monday announced that top-line data from part one of a two-part Phase 1 study of SPI-1620 in combination with docetaxel was presented in an oral presentation at the 12th International Conference on Endothelin, held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, from September 11-14, 2011. Part one of the study has been completed, while part two is ongoing.
The primary objective of this Phase 1 study was to assess the safety and tolerability of SPI-1620 administered to patients with recurrent or progressive carcinoma who have failed all standard therapy. Secondary objectives of the study include assessing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of SPI-1620 and identifying the optimum dose of SPI-1620 to be used in future Phase 2 studies.
A total of 30 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients ranged in age from 41 to 77 years (median 61), and had prostate cancer (9/30), breast cancer (3/30), female reproductive malignancies (4/30), gastrointestinal cancer (3/30), and pancreatic cancer (2/30), among other types.
Roxy Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Nasdaq:RXII ) reported in a press release on Wednesday announced today that it licensed worldwide rights to develop and commercialize a Folate Binding Protein-E39 (FBP) targeted vaccine to prevent recurrence in gynecological cancers such as ovarian and endometrial adenocarcinomas.
It also said it is pursuing development of a cancer vaccine for breast cancer. NeuVax consists of the E75 peptide derived from HER2 combined with the immune adjuvant granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Treatment with NeuVax stimulates cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells in a highly specific manner to target cells expressing any level of HER2. NeuVax is given as an intradermal injection once a month for six months, followed by a booster injection once every six months. Based on a successful Phase 2 trial, which achieved its primary endpoint of disease free survival (DFS), the FDA granted NeuVax a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for its Phase 3 PRESENT (Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax(TM) Treatment) study. The Phase 3 trial is expected to commence in the first half of 2012.
Generex Biotechnology Corporation's (OTCBB:GNBT) (www.generex.com) wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (www.antigenexpress.com), today announced that its lead drug candidate AE37, a novel HER-2/neu-targeted vaccine currently in Phase II development for the treatment of breast cancer, is featured in the October 2011 issue of Scientific American, in a story titled "A New Ally Against Cancer" by Eric von Hofe, Ph.D., President of Antigen Express.

Biotech/Medical Technology Stock News; Aethlon Medical (OTCBB: AEMD) Introduces HER2osome™, A Novel Therapeutic Device Strategy to Address Breast Cancer
SAN DIEGO � September 21, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), the pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, announced today the introduction of HER2osome™, a novel medical device strategy to inhibit the progression of HER2+ breast cancer, which is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis resulting from the over-expression of HER2 protein. Breast cancer represents the most common form of invasive cancer in women. HER2+ breast cancer accounts for approximately 25% of new breast cancer diagnosis.
The goal of HER2osome™ therapy is to simultaneously reduce the circulatory presence of HER2 protein and breast cancer exosomes, which have increasingly become recognized as playing pivotal role in the development and progression of breast cancer. Researchers report that breast cancer exosomes suppress the immune response, stimulate angiogenesis, contribute to the spread of metastasis, and inhibit the therapeutic benefit of Herceptin (trastuzumab), a leading monoclonal antibody treatment against the HER2+ breast cancer. As an adjunct therapeutic candidate, HER2osome™ offers to address an unmet medical need and enhance the benefit of Herceptin and standard of care chemotherapies without adding drug toxicity or interaction risks.
To support the pre-clinical and clinical advancement of HER2osome™, Aethlon has submitted a funding proposal entitled, "An Innovative Device Strategy to Eliminate HER2 Breast Cancer Progression" to the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) offered through the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, Defense Health Program. The BCRP was established in fiscal year 1992 (FY92) to support innovative research focused on eradicating breast cancer. Appropriations for the BCRP from FY92 through FY10 totaled over $2.5 billion. The FY11 appropriation is $150 million. Principal investigators underlying the Aethlon BCRP funding proposal are Dr. CS Chen, Chief, Division of Hematology and Oncology and Medical Director of the Loma Linda Cancer Center, and Dr. Douglas Taylor, Professor, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at University of Louisville School of Medicine.
The evolution of HER2osome™ therapy is based upon an adaptable dialysis-like affinity platform technology known as the Aethlon ADAPT™ system. Therapies evolved from the Aethlon ADAPT™ system target the selective clearance of harmful agents from the entire blood volume within clinically relevant time frames and without the loss of essential blood components. Thus, overcoming the historic limitation of extracorporeal strategies that indiscriminately adsorb or remove particles solely by molecule size. In function, the device platform allows the immobilization of single or multiple affinity agents in the outer-capillary space of plasma filtration membrane technology as a means to provide rapid real-time clearance of corresponding targets. In the case of HER2osome™, the immobilization of a HER2 antibody and an exosome targeted affinity agent provides a mechanism to clear both targets from the circulatory system of HER2+ breast cancer patients. Like all ADAPT™ derived therapies, HER2osome™ will operate dialysate free, will not require replacement fluids, and can be utilized on dialysis machines or CRRT systems already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
Aethlon has previously leveraged its ADAPT™ system through a proposal chosen for funding through a DOD contract award under DARPA-BAA-11-30 entitled "Dialysis-Like Therapeutics". The proposed program, which is pending completion of a contracting phase, would support the development of a therapeutic device that reduces the incidence of sepsis in wounded warfighters through the selective clearance of circulating septic precursors.
The genesis of the ADAPT™ system is the Hemopurifier®, a device that immobilizes a single lectin affinity agent to provide broad-spectrum capabilities against viral pathogens and immunosuppressive proteins. Human studies have demonstrated the Hemopurifier® to be safe and provide average viral load reductions of greater than 50% during four-hour treatment periods in both hepatitis-C (HCV) and HIV infected individuals without the administration of antiviral drugs. The device is currently the subject of a human clinical study to evaluate its ability to accelerate viral load depletion when utilized in combination with HCV standard of care drug therapy. An investigational device exemption (IDE) to initiate clinical studies in the UnitedStates has been submitted to The Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In vitro studies recently documented that the Hemopurifier® also captures exosomes underlying cancer, including colorectal, lymphoma, melanoma, ovarian, and breast cancer. On August 24th, Aethlon expanded its exosome research programs through a collaborative agreement with the Sarcoma Oncology Center (SOC), based in Santa Monica, California. The SOC collaboration will study the ex vivo effectiveness of the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to remove immunosuppressive exosomes from the blood of advanced-stage cancer patients. The study will evaluate 25 patients, five patients with metastatic cancer of the following types; non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, and sarcoma. Exosomes released by cancers have emerged to become an important therapeutic target in cancer care, as they are implicated in cancer survival, growth, and metastasis. Researchers have also identified that cancer-released exosomes may assist tumors in evading the response of the immune system.

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. - September 12, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX), today announced successful completion of its principal LibiGel (testosterone gel) pharmacokinetic (PK) study. The top-line results indicate that LibiGel increases levels of free testosterone, bioavailable testosterone and total testosterone in the serum of postmenopausal women to within the normal ranges for younger, premenopausal women. LibiGel is in development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved product.
The LibiGel PK study was conducted as part of the required studies to be submitted in the LibiGel new drug application (NDA), which is anticipated by the fourth quarter of 2012. The PK study was conducted in 24 postmenopausal subjects for a total of 63 days, in the absence of estrogen therapy, as well as in the same women when treated with a transdermal estradiol patch and subsequently oral estrogen. There were no differences in blood levels of testosterone regardless of the absence or presence of estrogen therapy, whether transdermal or oral.
The data from the PK study showed that testosterone blood levels were similar on days 14, 21, 42 and 63 of the study, indicating that there was no buildup of testosterone blood levels with daily LibiGel treatment. Additionally, free and bioavailable testosterone returned to baseline levels within 36-48 hours after the last dose of LibiGel, indicating effective elimination after dosing is discontinued. The testosterone blood levels produced in this study were very similar to those seen in the BioSante LibiGel Phase II efficacy trial reported previously, and they were very similar to blood levels observed in transdermal testosterone patch studies, which also demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of HSDD. Importantly, in the LibiGel PK study, there were no measurable increases in blood levels of the most active estrogen, estradiol, which could have occurred as a result of the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. BioSante plans to present the full PK study results at an upcoming medical meeting.
"Significantly, none of the subjects in the LibiGel PK study had average testosterone concentrations above the normal range for younger, premenopausal women, a finding that may be a key component in the safety evaluation of LibiGel by FDA," noted Michael C. Snabes, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president of medical affairs at BioSante. "This finding adds to our confidence that the results of our ongoing, long-term safety study of LibiGel will be favorable."
About LibiGel®
LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The two on-going Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that have each enrolled over 500 surgically menopausal women for a six-month clinical trial. The efficacy trials, which completed enrollment in the first quarter 2011, 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 HSDD 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 UnitedStates , in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.
In addition, BioSante is conducting a Phase III LibiGel safety study, which is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, cardiovascular (CV) events and breast cancer study that completed enrollment of 3,656 women on June 2, 2011 and has accrued over 4,500 women-years of exposure. The safety study will continue for a total of five years, however, BioSante will use the safety study data as part of an NDA submission after the last subject enrolled has completed 12 months of exposure to LibiGel or placebo.
The LibiGel safety study is tracking a predefined list of CV events, in agreement with the FDA, including CV death, myocardial infarction and stroke in women 50 years of age or older and suffering from at least two CV risk factors including hypertension and diabetes. The objective of the safety study is to show the relative safety of testosterone compared to placebo in the number of CV events. The incidence of breast cancer also is being tracked over the course of the study. The study represents the largest data base of the safety of testosterone in women.
Upon completion of the statistical analyses of the safety study and efficacy trials, BioSante intends to submit an NDA to the FDA, requesting approval to market LibiGel for the treatment of HSDD in menopausal women. The NDA submission is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2012.
