Phase II Advanced Breast Cancer Data to Be Presented at ASCO Highlight Promising Tumor Response and Progression-Free Survival Data With Peregrine's Bavituximab
74% of Front-Line Patients Achieved Tumor Response, Median PFS of 6.9 Months; Study Supports Potential of Bavituximab and Paclitaxel/Carboplatin for Solid Tumors
TUSTIN, CA, May 27, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of cancer and viral infections, today announced positive objective tumor response and median progression-free survival (PFS) data from a Phase II trial evaluating bavituximab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer. These data will be highlighted in a poster presentation on June 5, 2010 at the 2010 ASCO Annual Meeting.
"The overall tumor response of 74% of patients in this study and median PFS of 6.9 months are promising results in this breast cancer patient population," commented Minish Jain, M.D., an investigator of this trial and oncologist at the Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, India. "These results demonstrate the potential of bavituximab to be used in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in the treatment of solid tumors such as advanced breast cancer."
Bavituximab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is being evaluated in two Phase II trials, including front-line advanced breast cancer and front-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bavituximab is a first-in-class phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting monoclonal antibody that represents a new approach to treating cancer. PS is a highly immunosuppressive molecule usually located inside the membrane of healthy cells, but "flips" and becomes exposed on the outside of cells that line tumor blood vessels, creating a specific target for anti-cancer treatments. PS-targeting antibodies target and bind to PS and block this immunosuppressive signal, thereby enabling the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
"The data to date from our Phase II cancer trials using the combination of bavituximab with paclitaxel and carboplatin have been encouraging and we look forward to advancing this combination into future Phase II clinical trials," said Marvin R. Garovoy, M.D., head of clinical science of Peregrine. "To further the evaluation of this and other combinations with bavituximab for breast cancer, we are seeking investigators interested in our investigator-sponsored trials program, which is designed to support researchers who have an interest in exploring different therapeutic applications and indications."
About the Phase II Trial In Peregrine's front-line advanced breast cancer Phase II trial assessing bavituximab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, 74% (34 of 46) of patients achieved an objective tumor response by the end of the treatment period and 9% (4 of 46) achieved a clinical complete response. Median PFS was 6.9 months and median overall survival will be reported once these data mature. These results compare favorably to data from a separate published study showing an objective response rate of 62% and median PFS of 4.8 months in a similar patient population receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin alone.
Peregrine's multi-center, open-label Phase II breast cancer trial was primarily intended to assess overall response rates to bavituximab combined with standard of care chemotherapeutic agents paclitaxel and carboplatin. Secondary objectives of the study included measuring progression-free survival, duration of response, overall patient survival and safety parameters. Patients were evaluated regularly for tumor response according to RECIST criteria.
About Breast Cancer The World Health Organization reports that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of female cancer deaths. The National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately 192,370 U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 and 40,170 women will die of the disease in the U.S. alone.

Jeg har længe gået over overvejet at køre en strategi som din (og Le´s) i min pension som jeg ikke rigtigt gider sidde og micro-manage ligesom mine frie midler. Derudover kunne det være spændende at se når jeg engang skal pensioneres hvad der har givet mest: 100% TA portefølje (frie midler) eller fundamentalorienteret tilgang
Det er ikke for ingenting jeg "follower" dig. Altid en fornøjelse af læse dine indlæg

29717 New Progression-Free Survival Data From Peregrine's Bavituximab in Phase II Refractory Breast Cancer Trial to Be Presented at ASCO
7.4 Months Median PFS for Refractory Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Bavituximab and Docetaxel; Planned Registrational Phase IIb Refractory Lung Cancer Trial to Use Bavituximab and Docetaxel Combination
TUSTIN, CA, May 28, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of cancer and viral infections, today announced new median progression-free survival (PFS) data of 7.4 months from a Phase II trial evaluating bavituximab in combination with docetaxel in refractory patients with advanced breast cancer. Best overall response rate from this trial was 61% (28 of 46 patients) with 11% (5 of 46) of the patients achieving a clinical complete response. These results compare favorably to data from a separate published study showing an objective response rate of 41% with no complete responses in a similar patient population receiving docetaxel alone. These Phase II data will be highlighted in a poster presentation on June 5, 2010 at the ASCO Annual Meeting.
"With promising breast cancer data in both front-line and refractory patients, as well as in different therapeutic combinations and indications, Peregrine's novel monoclonal antibodies offer broad-spectrum potential for the treatment of breast cancer and other solid tumors," commented Alison Stopeck, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, director of clinical breast cancer program at the Arizona Cancer Center. "New cancer therapies that reactivate and direct the patient's immune system are generating growing interest among cancer researchers and clinicians. Peregrine's antibodies are a unique approach to treating cancer, targeting the highly specific immunosuppressive molecule called phosphatidylserine to reactivate the immune system response."
Peregrine is planning to initiate a new registrational Phase IIb trial to evaluate bavituximab in combination with docetaxel in refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by mid-year. Bavituximab is a first-in-class phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting monoclonal antibody that represents a new approach to treating cancer. PS is a highly immunosuppressive molecule usually located inside the membrane of healthy cells, but "flips" and becomes exposed on the outside of cells that line tumor blood vessels, creating a specific target for anti-cancer treatments. PS-targeting antibodies target and bind to PS and block this immunosuppressive signal, thereby enabling the immune system to recognize and fight the tumor.
"Bavituximab and docetaxel will be the combination therapy evaluated in our flagship trial, a registrational Phase IIb trial in refractory NSCLC patients expected to begin shortly, " said Steven W. King, president and CEO of Peregrine. "The growing body of clinical and preclinical research provides further evidence of the broad-spectrum potential of our monoclonal antibodies as we prepare to initiate our two new Phase IIb trials in NSCLC as we pursue our goal of developing novel therapeutic options for cancer. We expect our investigator-sponsored trials program to add a new dimension to our data set as researchers explore new therapeutic combinations and potential indications for bavituximab."

7/7 2010 17:20 csinvest 031189 Er der en speciel årsag til at aktien er faldet så meget tilbage...kan fåes til 1,75 idag. Jeg mener den var i ca kurs 4 da den blev anbefalet. Jeg overvejer om det er tid at købe lidt.
