Biopharma Stocks Reporting on Lung Cancer Developments: Sunshine Biopharma (OTCBB: SBFM), OncoGenex (NASDAQ: OGXI)

New York, New York - July 11, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a snapshot of recent news from biopharma stocks reporting developments for the treatment of lung cancer. Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) reported news on its lead compound, Adva-27a and OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) announced an update on its lead product, custirsen.

According to OncoGenex's press release, "Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women and the leading cause of cancer-related death. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. This year, in the United States alone, approximately 226,160 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed and an estimated 160,340 patients will die of the disease. "
Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) recently reported that it completed a cytotoxicity study of its lead compound, Adva-27a, in H69AR, a Multidrug Resistant Small Cell Lung Cancer cell line. Cytotoxicity studies measure the ability of a drug to destroy cancer cells in vitro. The results of the study showed that Adva-27a is significantly more effective at killing Multidrug Resistant Small Cell Lung Cancer cells than Etoposide, the current commonly used drug for this type of cancer.
Since reporting its news Sunshine Biopharma stock has more than doubled in recent trading and is currently trading at $0.54.
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) reported news yesterday on the clinical development program for custirsen and its plans to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).The trial, planned to begin enrollment later this year, will evaluate the potential survival benefit of combining custirsen with docetaxel, a standard second-line chemotherapy treatment used in patients who have progressed after initial, or first-line, treatment has failed.
The Phase 3 trial will be an international, randomized, open-label study that will enroll approximately 1,100 patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have been previously treated with a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive custirsen plus docetaxel or docetaxel alone. The primary objective of the study will be overall survival with additional secondary and exploratory analyses of other efficacy outcomes and biomarker relationships. Two formal interim analyses are planned for stopping the trial early based on inadequate evidence of clinical benefit or futility. No interim analyses for claiming efficacy are planned.
Custirsen, its lead product, is designed to block production of clusterin, a cell survival protein that is commonly overexpressed in several cancer types and in response to anticancer treatments.
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) is trading at $14.46, up 0.20 (1.40%) at the time of this report, with a morning high of $14.58.

Biotech and Pharma Stock Investor News; Sunshine Biopharma (OTCBB: SBFM) and Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY); Targeting Aggressive Forms of Cancer

New York, New York - July 9, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a report on biotech companies targeting aggressive forms of cancer; Roche's (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) Herceptin® cancer drug and Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) with its lead compound, Adva-27a.

Roche is the largest biotech company in the world and Sunshine Biopharma is a small microcap biopharma company. The two genes associated with aggressive forms of cancer are Her2 and Top2; Roche is targeting Her2-Positive patients and Sunshine Biopharma is targeting multidrug resistant Top2, which has no current effective drugs in the market for patients.
Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO of Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) recently noted in an interview with Investorideas.com “Herceptin® is an excellent drug and is very effective in treating Her2-Positive breast cancer patients. However, only about 25% of the breast cancer patients are Her2-Positive. For the remaining 75%, Herceptin® does not work. This is where our Adva-27a comes in.”
Sunshine Biopharma reported on July 11, 2011 that Adva-27a had shown 16-fold more effectiveness against MCF-7/MDR Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer and announced on June 26 th results that Adva-27a is significantly more effective at killing Multidrug Resistant Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells than Etoposide, the current commonly used drug for this type of cancer.
Adva-27a was designed and synthesized de novo in 2006. Patents covering Adva-27a and derivatives have recently issued in the United States and Europe and are pending in other countries around the world. Sunshine Biopharma has announced collaborations with the State University of New York at Binghamton and McGill University's Jewish General Hospital in Montreal (Canada) focused on the development of Adva-27a through clinical trials.
Herceptin® was developed originally by Genentech, starting with research that dated back to the 1970's and Roche later signed a licensing agreement in 1998 for exclusive marketing rights for Herceptin outside of the United States. A few months later Herceptin received FDA approval for use in women with breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 protein. Herceptin® was the first therapeutic antibody targeted to a specific (HER2) cancer-related molecular marker to receive FDA approval. Roche purchased Genentech in March 2009 for approximately $46.8 billion.
The most recent development on Herceptin® was June this year when Roche announced the FDA had approved Perjeta® (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin® and docetaxel chemotherapy for the treatment of people with Her2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
Herceptin® sales were over $5 billion in 2010 but Herceptin® begins to lose patent protection in world markets in 2014.

Biotech Investor Q&A with CFO of Sunshine Biopharma (OTCBB: SBFM) Discussing its Lead Compound - Adva-27a for Aggressive Forms of Cancer

New York, New York - July 2, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO of Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM).Sunshine Biopharma is a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company’s lead compound, Adva-27a targets aggressive forms of cancer.

Mr. Sebaaly also shares insight on Roche's (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) Herceptin® cancer drug.
Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you give investors a brief background on your lead compound , Adva-27a, your proprietary technology behind it and how it targets aggressive forms of cancer?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Adva-27a is a small molecule which we designed and synthesized de novo. Patents covering Adva-27a and derivatives have been issued in the United States and Europe and are still pending in other places around the world. Adva-27a was designed it to specifically target multidrug resistant (or aggressive) types of cancer.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
The Company announced findings last week from the cytotoxicity study- can you give us some brief hi-lights and the significance of the results?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Last week we announced the results of our most recent studies in which we found that Adva-27a is remarkably capable of killing multidrug resistant small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is perhaps the most aggressive primary cancer. Sadly, the prognosis for a freshly diagnosed patient with small cell lung cancer is only a few months. As you know, we had announced back in July of last year that Adva-27a also kills multidrug resistant breast cancer cells. Similarly, the prognosis for multidrug resistant breast cancer patients is only a few months. We are delighted at the opportunity to offer both of these patient groups hope through our Adva-27a. As far we know, Adva-27a is the only drug anywhere in the world that can treat these patients.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you discuss briefly the pharmacokinetics studies results announced in May?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
The pharmacokinetic parameters of Adva-27a which we announced in May were excellent. Adva-27a has all the properties of a good pharmaceutical. For example, it reaches a very high initial plasma concentration, which means it starts working fast, and has an intermediates plasma half-life implying that it does not linger in the blood stream to cause severe side-effects and other complications.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you give investors insight into the type of cancer Herceptin®, a drug marketed by Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) (the world's largest biotech company) targets and where you see Sunshine Biopharma filling the gap?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Herceptin® is an excellent drug and is very effective in treating Her2-Positive breast cancer patients. However, only about 25% of the breast cancer patients are Her2-Positive. For the remaining 75%, Herceptin® does not work. This is where our Adva-27a comes in. It is interesting to note that Herceptin® sales are in excess of $5 billion a year.
