Encouraging Data From Malaria Study Presented
Encouraging Data From Malaria Study Presented
PR Newswire
GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 12
GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
GenVec, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNVC) announced that encouraging clinical and preclinical malaria vaccine data were presented at the Keystone Symposium -- Malaria: New Approaches to Understanding Host-Parasite Interactions taking place April 11-16, 2010 in Copper Mountain, Colorado.
Safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and efficacy data from the Phase 1/2a malaria trial using GenVec technology were presented. Data indicate malaria vaccines given to malaria-naive adults were found to be safe and well-tolerated with minimal local or systemic reactions and no serious vaccine-related adverse reactions. Sterile protection, a complete absence of parasites in the blood, was seen in 4 out of 15 volunteers that had been inoculated with the vaccine and subsequently challenged with the malaria parasite.
This clinical trial is being conducted under sponsorship from the United States Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA) and with financial support from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Congressionally Directed Peer Review Medical Program, and the Military Infectious Diseases Research Program.
"The results of this study are encouraging and we are looking forward to gaining more insight regarding the potential for this vaccine," stated Dr. Douglas Brough, GenVec's Vice President of Research.
About Malaria
Malaria is one of the world's leading lethal infectious diseases. Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Malaria parasites initially invade liver cells and, after multiplying, release tens of thousands of new parasites, which invade red blood cells, multiply again, and then destroy these cells. High fever, headache, and vomiting appear approximately nine to fourteen days after the infectious bite. If untreated, the infection can progress rapidly and become life threatening -- destroying red blood cells, causing severe anemia, and blocking capillaries that carry blood to the brain, resulting in coma and/or death. Malaria causes approximately 243 million acute illnesses and 863,000 deaths annually, mostly among children under the age of five. Malaria is a major health risk for travelers and the military.

BATS Real-Time Market Data by XigniteA failed trial on a pancreatic cancer drug sucked the life out of GenVec shares Tuesday, but the steep decline may be setting up an attractive entry point for investors if a separate collaboration with Novartis works out.
GenVec ( GNVC - news - people ) shares plunged as low as 71 cents early in the session and were down 72%, or $2.02, to 78 cents with an hour to the close after the company announced it is shelving a Phase 3 clinical trial for TNFerade in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Yahoo! Buzz"We are disappointed with data, particularly given the lack of adequate treatments for pancreatic cancer," said Paul Fischer, Ph.D., the CEO of GenVec. "As our shareholders know in addition to TNFerade our research consists of a number of funded vaccine programs. We will continue to focus on those programs and supporting our collaboration with Novartis ( NVS - news - people ) to develop treatments for hearing loss."
Discontinuing the TNFerade trial will slow down the rate at which GenVec burns through the $38 million in cash on its balance sheet, and Nathan Cali, an analyst with Noble Financial Capital Markets, thinks the $213.6 million partnership with Novartis could pay off and is advising clients to buy GenVec shares at their newly reduced price.
The deal with Novartis, sealed in early 2010, gives the pharmaceutical heavyweight global rights to GenVec's preclinical hearing loss and balance disorders programs.
Cali acknowledges that there is a substantial risk involved in the program, but even with only a 15% chance of clinical success, the opportunity in the $4.5 billion hearing loss market--where the industry standard is hearing aids and not pharmaceuticals--GenVec shares could get a major boost if the treatment can show encouraging results in early-stage trials.
