Bolder BioTechnology Announces Initiation of Phase 1 Clinical Trial of BBT-015 for Treating Neutropenia and Acute … – PR Newswire (press release)

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017

Joe Cox, Ph.D., Bolder BioTechnology's President said: "Initiation of this clinical trial represents a major milestone for Bolder BioTechnology and the culmination of many years of effort by our dedicated and talented employees."

"BBT-015 is a novel G-CSF analog that exhibits a longer duration of action and greater potency than other G-CSF products. In preclinical studies, BBT-015 stimulated larger and longer-lasting increases in neutrophils, and faster neutrophil recovery in chemotherapy-treated, neutropenic animals compared to other G-CSF products.BBT-015 also significantly increased survival and accelerated recovery of neutrophils, platelets, and red blood cells in animals exposed to lethal doses of radiation, even when administered 24 hours following radiation exposure."

"BBT-015's increased potency and longer duration of action may stimulate faster neutrophil recovery in cancer patients and / or allow the drug to be administered less frequently and at lower doses than competing G-CSF products, with associated cost savings for patients."

"G-CSF products are some of the best selling biopharmaceuticals in the world, with annual worldwide sales exceeding $6 billion, primarily from the treatment of neutropenia in cancer patients."

About BBT-015BBT-015 is a long-acting G-CSF analog produced using site-specific PEGylation technology.G-CSF is a human protein that stimulates production of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that is important for fighting infections.G-CSF has a short half-life in humans and typically is administered to patients by daily injection.BBT-015 has been selectively modified with the polymer polyethylene glycol at a unique site in the protein, which allows the protein to last longer in patients, reducing the need for frequent administration and increasing the protein's ability to stimulate long-lasting production of neutrophils.

About Chemotherapy-Related NeutropeniaNeutropenia (severely reduced numbers of neutrophils) is a common side effect of chemotherapy treatment in cancer patients.Neutropenia increases the patient's risk of developing serious bacterial infection and requiring expensive hospitalization.G-CSF products are commonly administered to cancer patients following chemotherapy to accelerate neutrophil recovery and decrease the length of time that patients are neutropenic.

About Acute Radiation SyndromeAcute Radiation Syndrome, often referred to as radiation sickness, is a collection of illnesses that occurs following exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation within a short period of time, such as might occur following an accident at a nuclear power plant or detonation of a nuclear weapon.Bone marrow, which is responsible for producing new blood cells, is one of the most radiation-sensitive tissues, and subjects acutely exposed to high doses of radiation typically develop bone marrow aplasia and severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (low numbers of platelets) within a few weeks of exposure, Many subjects die from infections due to a lack of neutrophils, or from uncontrolled bleeding due to a lack of platelets.

NJSBA magazine explores biotechnology and genetics – Yahoo News

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017

The August issue of the New Jersey State Bar Association's bi-monthly magazine, New Jersey Lawyer, focuses on the evolving topic of biotechnology, genetics and the law.

"Although a very specialized area, biotechnology law crosses many legal disciplines, including litigation, licensing, intellectual property, patents, agriculture, business, venture capitalism, antitrust, biosecurity and bioethics," said Angela Foster and David Opderbeck, who served as special editors for the issue.

"The use of biotechnology has raised a number of legal, ethical and social issues, including who owns genetically modified organisms (GMOs), whether genetically modified foods are safe to eat, and who controls a person's genetic information. This issue explores contemporary biotechnology issues impacting the legal community."

A dozen articles explore the topic in the award-winning magazine, beginning with a look at whether organs-on-chips are patentable in an article by Douglas Bucklin. Richard Catalina Jr.'s article on the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act follows.

Nancy Del Pizzo's article looks at the open source model in biotechnology, while Foster explores the truth and fiction behind genetically modified food. Jonathan Lourie reviews strategic licenses and collaborations.

Reproduction is the topic of two articles, one analyzing assisted reproductive technology, written by Alan Milstein, and one penned by Kimberly Mutcherson on regulating the right to procreate.

Opderbeck's contribution focuses on synthetic biology and biosecurity, while Anjana Patel and Patricia Wagner discuss biotech mergers, acquisitions and antitrust issues and Marina Sigareva and Ryan O'Donnell look at global strategies for protecting biotech inventions.

The edition closes with articles on the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's influence on the biotech and pharma industries, written by Nichole Valeyko and Maegan Fuller, and the privacy implications for biotechnology by Wagner.

The October edition of New Jersey Lawyer will explore pro bono issues.

Noxxon/MSD start testing of immunoncologic combo – European Biotechnology

Tuesday, July 4th, 2017

Last December, Noxxon Pharma AG signed an agreement with Merck & Co./MSD to evaluate the synergistic potential of NOXA1/2 and pembrolizumab immune cancer therapy. Now, the companies have kicked off a Phase I/II study in patients with pancreatic and colorectal cancer.

The study conducted at the National Center for Tumor Diseases in Heidelberg (Germany) will investigate the impact of NOX-A12 (olaptesed pegol) as a monotherapy on immune cell infiltration into tumors. In addition, Noxxon and Merck & Co will assess safety and efficacy of NOX-A12 in combination with Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Merck & Co./MSDs programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint-blocking antibody drug.

The open-label trial (NCT03168139) is composed of two parts: patients will receive NOX-A12 monotherapy for two weeks, followed by combination therapy of NOX-A12 plus pembrolizumab for up to two years. 20 patients will be enroled: 10 patients for each metastatic pancreas and colorectal cancer.

The design of the clinical trial was a collaborative effort between NOXXON and MSD. Part 1 of the study, in which patients will receive NOX-A12 monotherapy for up to two weeks, will evaluate immune infiltrate changes within the tumor microenvironment induced by CXCL12 inhibition with NOX-A12 by comparing pre- and post-treatment biopsy specimens as well as the safety and tolerability of NOX-A12 in patients with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal and pancreatic cancer. Part 2 of the study, in which NOX-A12 is to be combined with Keytruda, will assess the safety and tolerability of the combination in addition to the efficacy of treatment. Top-line data for all 20 patients from part 1 is expected to be available in Q2/2018, and initial response-rate data in Q4/2018.

NOX-A12 inhibits CXCL12, a key tumor microenvironment chemokine and a stem cell migration factor. The chemokine that acts by binding to to CXCR4 and CXCR7 may be a key partner for a wide range of IO (immuno-oncology) agents. Noxxon has generated promising pre-clinical and clinical data, including animal data showing synergy with a checkpoint inhibitor, as well as recent phase 2a trials in multiple myeloma and a second hematological cancer that showed a safety profile that supports further development and first signs of efficacy. The company said that its study will position the drug to be combined with multiple classes of IO approaches including those acting on or through T cells and/or NK cells.

Puma Stalks Up – Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE:PBYI) | Seeking … – Seeking Alpha

Tuesday, July 4th, 2017

Puma Biotechnology, (NYSE:PBYI) is a $3.2 billion market cap company initially focused on developing tyrosine kinase inhibitor neratinib (PB272) for HER2 positive breast cancer. The company has conducted 11 clinical trials for its lead candidate, with over 2,000 patients contributing to a favorable risk-benefit profile, per inflection point clinical trial readouts over the past quarter. Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) at FDA recently voted for approval of neratinib in HER2 positive extended adjuvant treatment of early stage breast cancer in May 2017. ODAC vote is not binding but carries strong weight in the decision-making process. Given FDA director Gottlieb's new aggressive policies regarding the slow and outdated drug approval process at FDA, this was seen by the market as a "sure thing". The company is advancing neratinib in discussions with EMA for European markets, with validation in August 2016. Other investigations include neratinib in combinatory therapy for metastatic breast cancer and in solid tumors as well.

Neratinib blocks signal cascades of epidermal growth factor receptors or EGFRs, specifically: HER1, HER2, HER3, and HER4. A number of studies are showing nice anti-tumor efficacy. Taken together with ODAC favor, Phase 3 result emphasis for neratinib which met primary endpoints appears to have led to the robust response in the market for high probability of FDA approval. Two-year disease-free survival showed a 2.4% improvement for neratinib versus placebo in ITT population. Five-year disease-free survival showed a 2.5% improvement. In HR+ patients, neratinib adjuvant therapy showed a two-year disease-free survival rate of 95.4% compared to 91.2% in placebo. Five-year disease-free survival conferred a 4.8% benefit. Two-year HR patients' disease-free survival showed a meaningful advantage, but five-year data was not statistically significant.

The company recently presented data June 3 at ASCO 2017 summarizing positive results of its Phase 2 trial in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain. Nearly half of the patients in a neratinib plus chemotherapy cohort achieved a central nervous system (CNS) objective response with overall survival data remaining immature at 13.5 months (and counting). CNS progressions remain a huge comorbidity factor in patients with brain metastases. With the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, and with diarrhea being the number one adverse event, PBYI is well-positioned to advance in this space with neratinib. Studies examining antidiarrheal prophylaxis (Loperamide) to reduce diarrhea severity during neratinib treatment have proven effective. Phase 3 data showed grade 3 diarrhea decreased from ~40% to ~31% with loperamide, to ~23% with loperamide and budesonide, and to 11.5% with loperamide and colestipol. Safety studies examining children and young adults with cancer are also ongoing.

Multiple studies are generating impressive cancer therapy data for neratinib, including clinical data presented at AACR on neratinib in the treatment of patients who have solid tumors with activating HER2 or HER3 mutations. Additional data was also presented on the combination of T-DM1 and neratinib in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that has previously been treated with pertuzumab and trastuzumab. The company has done extensive analysis of breast cancer NSABP FB-7 biomarker during neratinib treatment with a variety of immuno and chemotherapy regimens to qualify its objective tumor response. Mechanistically, phosphoHER2 levels and truncated HER2 mutants (p95HER2) demonstrated statistically significant higher levels in patients who achieved a pCR with neratinib than those treated with trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus neratinib who did not. Moreover, dual pathway suppression (HR/ER+ and EGFR/HER2+) has been seen only in neratinib and not in Herceptin and Tykerb (Novartis (NYSE:NVS)).

The company has listed other potential tissue types to expand its label for neratinib, including non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and solid tumors (any HER2-associated tumors). Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) annual sales for Herceptin (trastuzumab) approach $5 billion. In contrast, Tykerb has not fared as well due to its unfavorable toxicity profile, with sales in the hundreds of millions. The HER2 positive breast cancer market is estimated to be about $13 billion by 2023. Given this massive market and plenty of room to expand label into other high dollar indications, Puma may still have quite a bit of upside and is generally de-risked. It certainly becomes very attractive on any stock price pullbacks.

Puma reported at end of 1Q 2017 cash and cash equivalents of $105.1 million and marketable securities of $88.9 million, with a 1Q net loss of $72 million. Cash runway is expected to last through mid-2018, with a burn rate of approximately $35 million per quarter. If the company is forced to raise funds, it should be able to do so at a good market value, given the advanced stage of its drug development. Strong Bio recommends a watch list spot for the stock and manageable delays or setbacks as a potential buying opportunity. Moreover, it may be a takeover candidate and could undergo some downward volatility in the standard process of stop-loss triggering. Such swoons will probably not last long as market support should be strong. With market cap of $3 billion and potential market quite a bit larger, there is plenty of room for value position here if sales meet expectations.

Risks for the company to investors are primarily centered around its one-trick pony pipeline. But when the trick is good enough, it's going to bring bank. Its advantage in efficacy will certainly gain a reasonable stake in the market for those that can tolerate the adverse events. In fact, the adverse event of diarrhea is somewhat severe, but luckily, most of that risk was mediated with appropriate prophylaxis regimen. It perhaps would have contraindications for those with extreme inflammatory bowel or related disorders. FDA-related large scale manufacturing risks and regulatory hurdles could prove to add delays and pitfalls to Puma's terrain, and since this is the only revenue-maker in its pipeline, a lot hinges on its expeditious advancement. However, given the aggressive stance at FDA to get life-saving therapies available to patients, most regulatory risks are ameliorated. Partnership decisions will be important inflection points moving forward.

Researchers in Melbourne provide new biotechnology tool – BSA bureau (press release)

Tuesday, July 4th, 2017

A team of researchers at the University of Melbourne has used a quantum probe to perform microwave-free NMR at the nanoscale.

Researchers at the University of Melbourne have demonstrated a way to detect nuclear spins in molecules non-invasively, providing a new tool for biotechnology and materials science.

Important research in medicine and biology relies on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but until now, it has been limited in spatial resolution and typically requires powerful microwave fields. A team of researchers at the University of Melbourne has used a quantum probe to perform microwave-free NMR at the nanoscale.

This quantum probe delivers a dramatic improvement in NMR technology. In addition to being able to detect NMR in far smaller samples than conventional machines, the technique does not require the application of microwave fields that might disrupt biological samples.

The discovery may overcome significant limitations with conventional NMR methods, which depend on machines that can exceed 10 tonnes.

With these advances in quantum sensing technology, doors can open to a new world of scientific investigation that could lead us to gain a better understanding of the smallest building blocks of life.

Prana Biotechnology shares surge after journal publication – Proactive Investors UK

Tuesday, July 4th, 2017

Shares in Prana Biotechnology (NADSAQ:PRAN) surged 19% and was earlier higher in New York as it said an article about early data on PBT434 had been accepted in a peer review journal.

The article deals with the fact the compound PBT434 prevents iron-mediated neurodegeneration and alpha-synuclein toxicity in multiple models of Parkinsons disease.

Dr David Stamler, Pranas chief medical officer, said: These findings are important because Parkinsons disease and the related synucleinopathies cause significant disability and diminish the independence of afflicted individuals.

"An agent which slows disease progression could have a great impact on reducing disease burden and improving quality of life. We are eager to begin clinical testing of PBT434.

The publication is the culmination of ten years of research from scientists at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, (Melbourne, Australia), investigating compounds from Prana Biotechnologys propriety chemical library.

Not only was PBT434 shown to block alpha-synuclein accumulation, but it also prevented loss of nerve cells in the region of the brain primarily affected in Parkinsons disease.

To investigate the therapeutic potential of PBT434 to slow neurodegeneration, the researchers performed extensive animal testing in multiple Parkinsons disease models, including tests in mice that over-expressed the alpha-synuclein protein.

These results showed that PBT434 lowered alpha-synuclein and its toxic effects and simultaneously improved motor performance.

Shares added 19% to $2.73.

Biotechnology crops dominate Nebraska crop fields – Grand Island Independent

Saturday, July 1st, 2017

Biotechnology varieties of corn and soybeans make up 95 percent of the 15.5 million acres planted this spring by Nebraska farmers, according to a report from the USDAs National Agricultural Statistics Service on Friday.

According to the report, Nebraska corn growers planted 9.8 million acres, down 1 percent from last year. Biotechnology varieties were used on 96 percent of the area planted, up 1 percentage point from a year ago. Growers expect to harvest 9.5 million acres for grain, which is down 1 percent from last year.

Statewide, soybean planted area is estimated at 5.7 million acres, up 10 percent from last years total and a record high. Of the acres planted, 94 percent were planted with genetically modified, herbicide resistant seed, down 2 percentage points from a year ago. Acres expected to be harvested are 5.65 million, up 10 percent from a year earlier.

Last year, Nebraska ranked sixth in the nation in harvested acres of principal crops at 19,223,000 acres.

Nationwide, the USDA reported that corn planted area for all purposes in 2017 is estimated at 90.9 million acres, down 3 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted acres are down or unchanged in 38 of the 48 estimating states. Area harvested for grain, at 83.5 million acres, is down 4 percent from last year.

Director General of Nigeria’s biotechnology agency arrested over … – Premium Times

Friday, June 30th, 2017

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says it has arrested Lucy Ogbadu, the Director-General of National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), over alleged N23 million fraud.

The spokesperson of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this in a statement he issued on Thursday.

Mr. Uwujaren said Ms. Ogbadu was picked up by EFCC operatives in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, following her alleged link with the Bayelsa State Director of Bio-resources Development Centre, Josiah Habu.

Mr. Habu, according to him, is being investigated by the anti-graft agency in a case of fraudulent diversion of N75 million.

He said investigations by the EFCC revealed that Ms. Ogbadu allegedly received N23 million through a bank account belonging to the wife of Mr. Habu, Esther Habu.

The EFCC spokesperson stated that Ms. Ogbadu admitted the transaction in a voluntary statement made to the commissions investigators.

Further investigations also revealed that Mrs Habu is one of the contractors with Bio-resources Development Centre, Odi, Bayelsa State.

A total of N603 million has been traced to her in different deals involving over 20 directors of the centre across the country.

Ogbadus involvement is being investigated. She has been duly served with bail conditions while investigations continue, Mr. Uwujaren added.

Ms. Ogbadu, a professor of microbiology, was appointed NABDA director-general in November 2013.

AML: Cellectis testing allogenic CAR-T cell therapy – European Biotechnology

Thursday, June 29th, 2017

Genome editing specialist Cellectis has kicked off clinical tests in the US for the very first of-the-shelf CAR-T cell therapy in acute myeloid leukaemia.

The company said it enrolled the first patient with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) to be treated with UCART123 at Weill at Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital. UCART123 is a TALEN-genome edited chimeric T cell receptor targeting the CD123/IL3R antigen on the surface of blasts and dendric cells, which is administered on allogeneic donor T cells. The team of Gail J. Roboz will investigate the safety and will collect first indications for efficacy of UCART123 in patients with AML. The Phase I trial is part of a strategic translational research alliance that was formed between Cellectis and Weill Cornell Medicine in 2015.

While Novartis AG and Kite Pharma are leading the CAR-T cell therapy development in AML, Cellectis hopes to overtake its competitors. It has the only approach that works with allogenic CAR-engineered T cells that could be centrally pre-manufactured in contrast to the autologous patient T cells. Those need to be isolated, engineered and expanded during the at least 14 day hospital stay of the patients to be treated making the procedure costly, lengthy and laborious. On the other hand, Cellectis therapy does not target the CD19 T cell antigen but CD123//IL3R giving the company another unique selling point.

Cellectis has used TALEN technology to block expression of the TCRa constant (TRAC) gene though blocking expression of the natural TCR. According to Andr Choulika, Cellectis CEO, TALEN technology shows less off-target effects compared to CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Following apheresis, donor T cells are engineered to express an anti-CD123 CAR (CD123 scFv-41BB-CD3z) and an RQR8 depletion ligand that confers susceptibility to rituximab. Theoretically, specifity of of UCART123 therapy might be higher in patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) than in patients with AML as CD123 expression is 10fold higher in the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells than in blast occurring in the course of AML.

Cellectis also announced two new entries to ists Board of Directors. Ex-Novartis pharma division head Rainer Boehm will lead commercialisation of Cellectis lead candidate. Ex Novartis Oncology President and Incyte Corp CEO Herv Hoppenot will lead clinical development.

Explore Innovations in Industrial Biotechnology at Upcoming … – Newswise (press release)

Thursday, June 29th, 2017

Newswise Industrial biotechnology scientists, educators, entrepreneurs and executives from around the globe will be convening on the University of California San Diego campus this summer to explore the latest advances and world-changing innovations heating up the white-hot field of industrial biotechnology with workshops in microbial fermentation and metabolic engineering.

UC San Diego Extension will host its annual Industrial Biotechnology Workshops on Aug. 14 through 18. Participants can attend the whole program or attend the workshops on microbial fermentation or metabolic engineering separately.

Now in its fifth year, this widely acclaimed educational event creates an informal, intimate environment for robust exchange of knowledge and ideas among world-class academic instructors and leaders of cutting-edge companies of every size from startup to mature, said Hugo Villar, associate dean of Professional & Continuing Education for UC San Diego Extension.

Whether from California or China, biotechnology professionals attending these workshops will have a front-row seat to learn about current developments and advanced scientific skills being used to solve some the worlds most difficult problems, Villar said.

Microbial Fermentation

For the past four years, the workshop focused primarily on microbial fermentation, which is the transformation of feedstocks, such as plant sugars, into useful products, like fuels, chemicals, beer or antibiotics, by bacteria, yeast, fungi or algae.

The Microbial Fermentation Workshop will be held Aug. 16 to 18. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to design, develop, optimize, control, scale-up, analyze and troubleshoot fermentation processes.

As one of just a handful of programs in the world that provide in-depth, practically oriented coursework in microbial fermentation, it is expected to draw participants from Connecticut to Croatia.

While workshop participants should have some basic knowledge and experience in fermentation, everyone from scientists to biotech business executives to graduate students could benefit from the microbial fermentation workshop.

This years program features some of the brightest minds in the field, including:

Jeff Lievense, senior advisor of Bioengineering & Technology, Genomatica;

Rachel Dutton, assistant professor of Molecular Biology, UC San Diego;

Michael Japs, senior director of Process Technology, Genomatica;

Jon Hansen, principal of New Leaf Biotech;

Jason Ryder, vice president, Process R&D, Hampton Creek; and

Karen Fortmann, senior research scientist, White Labs.

Five interactive case studies, including production of microbes for cheese and beer, will allow attendees to practice what they learn, while the Fermentation Firing Line segment will offer a lively, open ended forum for posing questions to the instructional team on fermentation-related topics.

In addition, everyone in attendance can participate in a tour of the global headquarters of White Labs, which produces yeast for beer making, and attend a hosted reception in its craft beer tasting room.

Metabolic Engineering

A new segment on metabolic engineering, which will run Aug. 14-15, will also be offered.

Recently named as one of the top 10 emerging technologies by the World Economic Forum, metabolic engineering focuses on the design and development of equipment and processes for manufacturing products such as agriculture, food, animal feed and pharmaceuticals.

Instructors joining the interactive course with case studies throughout the curriculum include:

John Pierce, MIT lecturer and former scientist at multinational firms BP and DuPont;

Adam Feist, project scientist, UC San Diego;

Ben Griffin, senior director, Microbial and Enzyme Engineering, Synthetic Genomics;

Jeff Lievense, senior advisor, Genomatica;

Jim Mills, chief technology officer, BioAmber, Inc.;

Bernhard Palsson, principal investigator, UC San Diego; and

Kristy Salmon, head of research, BP.

Those who attend the Metabolic Engineering segment are also invited to participate in a tour of the global headquarters of White Labs, which produces yeast for beer making, and attend a hosted reception in its craft beer tasting room.
