    Today : Tuesday 3 January 2012

    Generex Biotechnology Corporation (OTCBB: GNBT) today provided an update to the clinical development & regulatory strategy for its cancer vaccine, AE37. Positive interim Phase 2b clinical data from the study in HER-2 expressing breast cancer subjects (presented last month at the 34th Annual CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in San Antonio, Texas) has lead to an earlier-than-expected advancement in the overall development of AE37 for both breast and prostate cancer indications.

    AE37 is a novel Ii-Key Hybrid-based HER-2/neu Peptide Vaccine designed to train the immune system, independent of HLA-type, to track down cancer cells throughout the body and destroy them. The positive interim Phase 2b results, building upon completed pre-clinical and Phase I breast cancer studies, enables Antigen Express to move up the timing of key development and regulatory plans. In particular, the company will organize an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of Q1 2012. With the FDA's guidance, the Company will move into a pivotal Phase 3 clinical development program in women with loco-regional breast cancer that express low to moderate levels of HER2. Parallel steps will be taken with the European Medicines Agency using the same Phase 2b results. The Phase 2b is currently planned to enroll a total of 300 women and will continue as planned to provide additional valuable information on efficacy and safety of AE37 as the Company pursues its Phase 3 trial plans.

    Dr. Eric von Hofe, Ph.D., President of Antigen Express, said: "While the number of patients with recurrent breast cancer is still too low to confirm statistical significance in this ongoing study, the approximate 46% reduction in breast cancer recurrence in low HER2 expressing tumors together with excellent safety enables us to move forward in requesting an End-of-Phase II meeting with the FDA."

    Importantly, the majority of women with loco-regional breast cancer have low to moderate expressing HER2 tumors and currently are treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy only. There is no approved targeted HER2 therapy for these women.

    "We are excited and committed to move the AE37 cancer vaccine through the appropriate scientific and regulatory steps," commented Mark Fletcher, President & Chief Executive Officer of Generex. "AE37 not only continues to move closer to market approval but also provides validation for the underlying Ii-Key technology platform upon which it is based."

    Phase I studies clearly identified the potential for AE37 to induce the immune system to focus on the HER2 protein through helper (CD4) and cytotoxic (CD8) immune cells in patients. The HER2 protein is expressed on a high percentage of cancers in the breast, prostate, ovaries, gastro-intestinal tract, and lung. In two Phase I trials, AE37 has demonstrated a good safety profile in both breast and prostate cancer patients.

    The AE37 cancer vaccine has also completed a Phase 1 trial in prostate cancer demonstrating appropriate dosing and immune activation similar to that seen in the breast cancer trials. The Phase 2b breast trial results add to AE37's database on tolerability and safety and have raised the possibility of using AE37 early in prostate cancer therapy. With the Phase 2b breast cancer trial suggesting immune activation by AE37 could control breast cancer and seeing similar immune activation in the Phase I prostate trial, the Company is encouraged to move AE37 cancer vaccine more rapidly into larger clinical trials in men with newly diagnosed HER2 positive prostate cancer. These Phase 2 trials are being designed with leading oncologists in prostate cancer.

    About AE37 and Ii-Key Hybrid Platform Technology

    Antigen Express is a platform technology and product-based company developing proprietary vaccine formulations for large, unmet medical needs. The Company's Ii-Key Hybrid technology platform entails the modification of fragments of antigens to increase their potency in stimulating critical members of the immune response, known as CD4+ T helper cells. Incorporating the Ii-Key modification along with tumor-associated antigens can greatly enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells bearing any of the targeted antigens as well as increasing immunological memory.

    The first product candidate utilizing the Company's novel Ii-Key Hybrid technology platform is a HER-2/neu Peptide Vaccine (AE37). This "off-the-shelf" cancer immunotherapy product candidate is easier and less costly to produce than comparable cell-based approaches. AE37 is derived from a peptide fragment of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein, which is expressed in a variety of tumors including 75-80% of breast cancers as well as a high percentage of prostate, ovarian and other cancers. AE37 represents the only HER2-based peptide vaccine currently being studied in a randomized trial and its use is not restricted to patients with a particular type of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) peptide.

    About Breast Cancer

    According to the American Cancer Society, more than 232,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease, in 2011. For women whose cancer tests positive for increased quantities of the HER2, approved targeted therapies include trastuzumab (Herceptin®; Roche-Genentech). However, only 25% of breast cancer patients have HER2 levels high enough to be eligible for Herceptin. AE37 is positioned initially as an adjuvant therapy for at least 50% of breast cancer patients; i.e., those with low-to-intermediate levels of HER2 expression.

    koersdoel staat op 6 dollar maar dat is relatief,staat al jaren op 6 dollar!!
    Gisteren toch weer plus 7% in een negatieve markt,dromen mag maar ze moeten absoluut een deal sluiten want hun cash is bijna op!!
    Dus in een sterke onderhandelpositie zitten ze niet,denk eerder aan een overname.............
    Niet vergeten dat de laatste tijd een pak biotech in Amerika overgenomen is met een goed product in fase 2,en dat hebben ze want AE37 blijkt volgens de meeste waarnemers revolutionair te zijn.............
    Het aandeel is wel HOT op het moment bijna maal 3,5 op 7 weken kan tellen!!

    Generex Subsidiary Antigen Express Featured on SNN Stock News Now; Highlights Advantages of Ii-Key Platform Technology for Cancer Immunotherapy

    WORCESTER, Mass. and TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (OTCBB: GNBT.OB) announced today that a detailed interview conducted at the BioTech Showcase 2012 during last week's JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco with Dr. Eric von Hofe, Ph.D., President of Generex subsidiary Antigen Express, Inc., regarding the Antigen Express breast cancer vaccine, is available on the Stock News Now website (www.stocknewsnow.com) and on the Generex website (www.generex.com).

    The company further outlined advantages of the Ii-Key immunotherapeutic vaccine. This comes in the wake of positive interim data from its Phase 2b breast cancer trial announced last month at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

    One of the core platform technologies of Antigen Express was obtained through seminal discoveries by the founder of the company, Dr. Robert Humphries. As one of the first to characterize MHC class II molecules, he spent a large part of his career elucidating the mechanism of antigenic peptide charging of MHC class II molecules and presentation to CD4+ T helper cells. In particular, he showed that a portion of an MHC class II cofactor controlled antigenic peptide loading onto the class II molecule. It was immediately clear that this represented a simple yet highly effective means of controlling the activation of CD4+ T cells.

    Ii-Key, as this portion of the MHC class II cofactor was termed, provides a robust means for causing MHC class II molecules to either spill antigens causing a harmful autoimmune responses (such as in multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or Type I diabetes) or, when linked to an antigen, an activating response triggering a potent immune response. For this latter application, Ii-Key has been linked to a variety of antigens (e.g., portions of viral proteins or proteins expressed in cancer cells) to produce a more robust yet specific activating immune response. Broad patent protection has been allowed for the various functional activities of Ii-Key.

    The most advanced Ii-Key compound currently under development is AE37, which contains a portion of the tumor-associated HER2 protein linked to Ii-Key. In a number of preclinical studies, AE37 has shown clearly increased potency over the unmodified HER2 peptide, consistent with the increased activity of a variety of other Ii-Key containing peptides that have been investigated. Of perhaps greatest interest is the observation that AE37 produced a robust and specific immunological response in a Phase I trial in the absence of immunological adjuvant. This is in clear contrast to most other peptide vaccines that are being developed.

    The recently reported interim results of a randomized, controlled Phase 2b trial showing a strong trend toward decreased relapse in patients receiving AE37 is consistent both with the increased immunological activity of AE37 as well as a variety of studies in the field of cancer immunotherapy showing the importance of specific CD4+ T helper cell activation in generating an effective anti-cancer immune response. While the anti-HER2 therapeutic Herceptin has been shown to significantly reduce relapse in breast cancer patients, it can only be used in roughly 25% of patients whose tumors express the highest level of the HER2 protein. AE37, in contrast, is applicable for use in patients whose tumors express lower levels of HER2. This population, which is ineligible for Herceptin, represents approximately 50% of breast cancer patients.
