Cancer!
Epeius Pharmaceuticals
announced that the U.S. FDA has granted Phase 3 status for the Company's lead
anti-cancer agent, Rexin-G, the first, and so far
only, targeted gene delivery system developed to seek out and destroy metastatic
cancer. According to Dr. Maria Gordon, Chief Medical Officer of Epeius,
"What this means, in terms of clinical development, is that the Rexin-G product,
with its advanced GMP manufacturing, bio-processing, and final formulation,
meets rigorous FDA standards for obtaining a marketing license in the future;
and that Epeius Biotech can now proceed with its strategic, diversified Phase 3
drug development program for
pancreatic cancer, osteosarcoma and soft tissue
sarcoma."
In addition to these high-priority programs, Rexin-G has demonstrated
significant anti-tumor activity in chemotherapy-resistant
breast cancer, hormone-refractory
prostate cancer,
ovarian cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and certain hematologic
malignancies, such as large B-cell
lymphoma.
Epeius Biotechnologies continues to lead the field of genetic
medicine with the development of its product pipeline, which includes Reximmune-C,
a tumor-targeted gene delivery system for 'personalized' cancer vaccinations,
administered to stimulate a long-lasting anti-tumor immunity.

Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines are intended either to treat existing cancers
(therapeutic vaccines) or to prevent the development of cancer (prophylactic
vaccines). Both types of vaccines have the potential to reduce the burden of
cancer.

advocates of radical prostatectomy have jousted with the opponents of external
beam radiotherapy, and interstitial radiation treatment. These debates have
created confusion in the minds of people with prostate cancer. Obviously if
there are this many solutions to the problem, the issues remain unresolved.
The issue of
prostate cancer is multifaceted, involving speculations, illusions, differing
experiences, rigid dogmas, as well as new horizons. (more)
