Macht doch noch einben zweiten "renner" thread auf mit 4 weiteren Biotechs...hehe ;-)  

 

DU IRRST, GLAXO braucht ihn weil Hepislav besser ist als Engerix..
Lesen und lernen: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...nts-Additional-bw-15423889.html?.v=3

Und aus diesem Grund sehen wir entweder eine Übernahme von Glaxo,bzw. wie im Dezember angekündigt 4x200mill$ Zahlungen für weitere Projekte...

.... kann sein,bbb,aber sag mir einmal,warum ist Dynavax im dezember 08 auf 15 Cent gefallen ???

MFG
Chali  

wegen hepislav und allgemeinem markt downturn..........alle rechte nun zurück an dvax.........super sache !!
Casch / share 1.65$ :-)
Ich lad mehr wenn ich kann und bei jedem peak verkauf ich ein paar...DVAX ist meine Cashcow..schon 3x praktiziert...immer welche halten natürlich...  

...sieht auf den ersten blick nicht schlecht aus,das gebe ich zu ! Aber was genau passierte im dezember mit Hepislav ? Ich vermute schlechte Phase-3 Ergebnisse ? Kann das sein ? Wenn Hepislav nix taugt,ist die aktie trotz allem wertlos ....

MFG
Chali  

Wenn DVAX nix wert sein sollte, warum steckte Glaxo Smith Kline dann 10mill$ rein + Aussicht auf 4x200mill$ ???
:-)  

Ich bin ab heute nachmittag mit von der Partie bei Dynavax,werde einsteigen,aber was ich wissen will ist folgendes: Steht Hepislav auf clinical hold,ja oder nein ??

MFG
Chali  

The two Investigational New Drug (IND) Applications for HEPLISAV have been and remain on U.S. FDA clinical hold. We are in active discussions with regulatory agencies to resolve the FDA’s clinical hold on HEPLISAV and identify an appropriate path for its approval in the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world

http://www.dynavax.com/hepatitis_bv.html  

Das ist das ,was ich wissen wollte,bbb ! Weisst du Geron hatte ihre stammzelltherapie auch auf clinical hold,am Obama Tag wurde der clinical hold aufgehoben und Geron stieg von 2$ auf 8$,kein witz !! Was meinst du was wir abgehen ,wenn das hold auf Heplisav aufgehoben würde,wie stehen die chancen,was meinst du ???

MFG
Chali  

Chancen stehen gut...imo

XOMA Presents Data At ADA Demonstrating Improvement in Diabetes and Inflammatory Measures in Animal Model With XOMA 052



BERKELEY, Calif., June 8, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XOMA Ltd. (Nasdaq:XOMA), a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies, announced the presentation of new preclinical results with XOMA 052 in the diet-induced obesity mouse model. XOMA 052 addresses the inflammatory cause of Type 2 diabetes by targeting interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), a master signaling protein which triggers inflammatory pathways. The results were presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 69th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"The diet-induced obesity model is a validated tool for evaluating the role of IL-1 in Type 2 diabetes that mimics the development of the disease in humans more closely than genetic or chemically-induced models," said Stephen K. Doberstein, Ph.D., XOMA's Vice President of Research. "The data reported today clearly show the potential for XOMA 052 to improve glucose control, beta cell function and survival, and insulin resistance without contributing to weight gain. XOMA 052 also corrected the dyslipidemia associated this diabetes model, suggesting the potential for cardiovascular benefit."

Groups of mice received either a normal diet or a high fat/high sucrose diet and twice-weekly doses of XOMA 052 or an isotype control for 12 to 14 weeks. This study design enabled evaluation of XOMA 052 in both normal and simulated diabetic conditions. At the end of the study period, mice that received XOMA 052 and the high fat/high sucrose diet showed, as compared to control (mice receiving isotype control and on high fat/high sucrose diet), statistically significant:



  * Reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels
  * Reduction in fasting blood glucose without causing hypoglycemia
  * Improvement in glucose control
  * Improvement in insulin secretion and beta cell function
  * Protection from diet-induced beta cell apoptosis
  * Increase in beta cell proliferation
  * Reduction in total cholesterol without reduction in high
    density lipoprotein
  * Reduction in triglycerides and free fatty acids
The mice on the normal diet treated with XOMA 052 showed no significant changes as compared to control mice on the normal diet, including lack of additional weight gain.

The studies were conducted at University of Bremen (Germany) and at XOMA. The full ADA presentation (ADA abstract # 310-OR) will be available on the XOMA website, www.xoma.com.

About XOMA 052

XOMA 052 is a potent monoclonal antibody with the potential to improve the treatment of patients with a wide variety of inflammatory diseases. XOMA 052 binds strongly to interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the development of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and other diseases. By binding to IL-1 beta, the drug inhibits the activation of the IL-1 receptor, thereby preventing the cellular signaling events that produce inflammation. XOMA 052 has a half-life of 22 days. Based on its binding properties, specificity to IL-1 beta and half-life, XOMA 052 may provide convenient dosing of once per month or less frequently.

XOMA has completed enrollment in Phase 1 trials for XOMA 052 in nearly 100 Type 2 diabetes patients and anticipates announcing top-line data from its U.S. trial in July. The trials were designed to evaluate a wide range of XOMA 052 doses, single and multiple dose regimens, and intravenous and subcutaneous routes of administration.

XOMA developed XOMA 052 using the company's proprietary antibody technologies, capabilities and expertise. XOMA owns worldwide rights to the antibody and related intellectual property. The company is actively pursuing a partnership for the development and commercialization of XOMA 052.

About the Interleukin-1 Pathway

The central role of the IL-1 pathway in multiple diseases has been clinically validated by two FDA-approved therapies and several inhibitors of the inflammatory IL-1 pathway in clinical development. These disease indications include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, gout, Muckle-Wells syndrome, and others.

The company's proprietary product pipeline includes XOMA 052, an anti-IL-1 beta antibody, and XOMA 3AB, a biodefense anti-botulism antibody candidate.

XOMA's proprietary development pipeline is primarily funded by multiple revenue streams resulting from the licensing of its antibody technologies, product royalties, development collaborations and biodefense contracts. XOMA's technologies and experienced team have contributed to the success of marketed antibody products, including LUCENTIS(r) (ranibizumab injection) for wet age-related macular degeneration and CIMZIA(r) (certolizumab pegol) for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.
