| Alkermes's alcoholism drug wins OK |
Apr 14, 2006 (The Boston Globe - Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News via COMTEX) -- The Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a new drug to treat alcoholism, a monthly injection that many analysts say could significantly change the way alcohol dependence is treated. The drug, Vivitrol, was developed by Alkermes Inc. of Cambridge and will be launched in June. According to a study published last year, patients on Vivitrol had fewer "heavy drinking days" per month than patients who did not get the drug. Although its mechanism is not well understood, it is believed to reduce the euphoria alcoholics feel when they drink. "There is a very real brain component to addiction, and society up to now has for the most part has viewed it as failure of will," said Alkermes chief executive Richard Pops. Yesterday's approval was a milestone for Alkermes, a 19-year-old company that has never had a profitable year. Analysts project sales of the drug to start slowly but build to as much as $300 million annually. "We think that 10 years from now people will look back and, hopefully, view Vivitrol as one of the first steps to a new approach to treating these diseases," said Pops. It will be sold in a joint deal with Cephalon Inc., a Pennsylvania company that specializes in neurological drugs. Patients who now take medication to treat alcoholism must take up to six pills a day. Despite the enthusiasm from many alcoholics and addiction psychiatrists about a once-a-month drug to help cut down on drinking, Vivitrol faces significant challenges to wide acceptance. One is the US alcohol-treatment system, which relies chiefly on clinics whose staff members are not doctors and cannot write prescriptions. The drug carries a warning of potential liver toxicity in high doses, and patients are supposed to refrain from drinking alcohol before receiving it. Vivitrol will likely be more expensive than other drugs and could face resistance from insurance companies. The company has not yet disclosed a price. The most significant hurdle, however, is how alcohol dependence is viewed by doctors: Few alcoholics are treated with medication of any kind. The handful of existing drugs have far lower sales numbers than what Vivitrol is aiming to reach. Cephalon has targeted 2,000 to 3,000 addiction specialists and psychiatrists around the country, said Shawn Ferry, who is in charge of marketing Vivitrol at Cephalon. Alkermes has assembled a separate 28-person team. Its members have traveled to cities throughout the United States to coordinate doctors, clinics, and nurses who can administer the regimen. "I think this really represents a qualitative advance. It's the only treatment that can be given once a month that's effective," said Dr. Michael Bohn, an addiction specialist at Aurora Healthcare in Wisconsin who worked with Alkermes on its latest Vivitrol study. Bohn said that among people in the study who stayed on the drug for six months, 85 percent asked to remain on the drug after the study ended. That level of popularity would be welcome news for Alkermes, which specializes in long-acting versions of existing drugs. Vivitrol is based on a generic compound called naltrexone, and the company has signed deals to work with other companies' drugs, including a possible inhaled insulin. Alkermess' stock jumped after the FDA decision was released late yesterday, gaining more than 4 percent to close at $21.96. "If we're right, and Alkermes now moves from one of several hundred money-losing biotech companies into one of the companies in the tier of profitability, then there's real opportunities for growth," Pops said.

Dynavax to Advance Cancer, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Therapy Programs With $50 Million Funding
E-mail or 
Print this story 19 April 2006, 4:00pm ET
Collaborative Financing From Symphony Capital Partners, LP Designed to Advance Next-Generation TLR-Agonist PipelineBERKELEY, Calif., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynavax Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: DVAX) announced an agreement with Symphony Capital Partners, LP and its co-investors to provide $50 million of committed capital to advance Dynavax's ISS-based cancer, hepatitis B and hepatitis C therapeutic programs through clinical development.
Under the terms of the agreement, Symphony Capital, a private equity fund, has established Symphony Dynamo, Inc., which will be capitalized initially with $20 million and an additional $30 million within one year following closing to fund Dynavax's identified development programs in cancer and hepatitis therapeutics. Dynavax has granted a license to the intellectual property for the ISS compounds selected for the Symphony Dynamo programs. Through a purchase option, Dynavax retains the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to acquire certain of the programs at specified points in time, or the entire set of funded programs at specified prices during the term of the development period. The term of the agreement is up to five years. The implementation of the development plans will be led by Dynavax with support from RRD International, LLC, Symphony Capital's clinical development partner, to provide additional clinical development and regulatory capabilities for the advancement of Dynavax's cancer, hepatitis B and hepatitis C therapeutic programs.
"We believe that this collaborative financing arrangement is timely and opportune, and fulfills key strategic goals for our company. It will enable us to continue to focus critical resources on advancing our lead programs in ragweed allergy and hepatitis B vaccines and provide additional minimally dilutive funding for investment in our early-stage, second-generation programs. This approach should allow us to build additional value in our pipeline and expand our partnering opportunities, all in a risk-reduced manner," said Dino Dina, MD, president and chief executive officer.
Continued Dr. Dina: "We can now invest more robustly in our cancer and hepatitis therapeutics pipeline, optimize the potential of our second-generation ISS-based technology, and accelerate creation of a new set of partnering assets. With TOLAMBA and HEPLISAV having achieved proof-of-concept and advancing through late-stage clinical trials and potentially toward registration, we believe now is the right time to invest in our cancer, hepatitis B and hepatitis C therapeutic programs. This financing strategy is consistent with our overall corporate strategy to have a steady stream of product opportunities moving into and through the clinic, to advance next-generation programs that represent attractive therapeutic and commercial opportunities, and to generate a meaningful return on investment for our shareholders."
Financial Terms
Funds from the arrangement will be dedicated to Dynavax's cancer product candidate, currently in a Phase 2 trial in Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and anticipated to advance into clinical trials in solid tumors in 2006, and its hepatitis B and C therapeutic product candidates, which are anticipated to enter the clinic in 2007.
Symphony Dynamo will be capitalized initially with $20 million and an additional $30 million within one year following closing. Dynavax will issue to Symphony Dynamo investors five-year warrants to purchase two million shares of Dynavax common stock at $7.32 per share, representing a 25% premium over the recent 60-day trading range average of $5.86 per share. The term of the warrants is five years and the exercise price is subject to reduction to $5.86 per share under certain circumstances.
Dynavax will have an exclusive option, exercisable at its sole discretion, to acquire all of the programs through the purchase of all of the equity in Symphony Dynamo, exercisable at any time beginning one year after the closing date of the transaction and ending either five years after the closing date or at a time when the funding balance remaining in Symphony Dynamo reaches a certain minimum level. The purchase price is based on a compounded annual rate of return of 27% calculated as of the time of exercise. The purchase option exercise price is payable in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Dynavax common stock, at Dynavax's sole discretion. Dynavax also has an option to purchase either the hepatitis B or hepatitis C program during the first year of the agreement.
Dynavax plans to consolidate the results of operations of Symphony Dynamo into its financial statements in the second quarter of 2006. To the extent that Dynavax contributes existing internal resources to the Symphony Dynamo programs as planned, the company currently estimates that the transaction may have a positive impact on both Dynavax's use of cash and the timing of future capital requirements.
Symphony Dynamo will be governed by a board of directors, comprised of one Dynavax representative, Dino Dina, MD, two representatives from Symphony Capital Partners, Harri Taranto and Mark Kessel, and two independent directors, one of whom is Ann Arvin, MD, the Lucile Salter Packard Professor of Pediatrics, Associate Dean of Research, Professor of Microbiology & Immunology and Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stanford University School of Medicine.
JMP Securities LLC served as advisor to Dynavax in this transaction.

New Data for Investigational Hepatitis C Drug Telaprevir (VX-950) to be Presented at AASLD Meeting - Combination therapy with telaprevir and pegylated interferon suppressed both wild-type and resistant HCV -
BOSTON, Oct 27, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Researchers will
present new data this week suggesting that both wild-type hepatitis C virus and
resistant variants were suppressed in patients when pegylated interferon
(peginterferon alfa-2a; peg-IFN) was added to telaprevir (VX-950), Vertex's
investigational hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitor, in a Phase 1b
clinical study. In addition, clinical investigators will report that 24 of 26
patients who received telaprevir (VX-950) in two early-stage clinical trials had
undetectable HCV RNA after receiving follow-on combination therapy with peg-IFN
and ribavirin (RBV) through 24 weeks of treatment, a therapeutic regimen
following the conclusion of the clinical trials. Clinical investigators will
also report that some of these patients have stopped therapy, and that a
proportion of them continued to have undetectable HCV RNA after stopping
therapy.
The data will be presented while attending the 57th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and were released in accordance with media guidelines established by the conference. Telaprevir (VX-950) is an investigational drug candidate being developed as part of a global Phase 2b clinical development program by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) Combination of Telaprevir (VX-950) and Peg-IFN Suppressed Both Wild-type Virus and Resistance Variants in 14-day Clinical Study
Tara Kieffer, Ph.D., of Vertex will present data in a Presidential Plenary session on Monday, October 30, analyzing viral sequences isolated from patients receiving telaprevir (VX-950) as a single agent or in combination with peg-IFN in a Phase 1b 14-day clinical study. In this study, viral variants were suppressed when peg-IFN was combined with telaprevir, or when peg-IFN and RBV were administered subsequent to telaprevir dosing.
In one arm of the trial, resistant viral variants were isolated from six of eight patients who had detectable HCV RNA while receiving telaprevir as a single agent over a period of 14 days. Subsequently, clinical investigators reported that all patients who received follow-on therapy with peg-IFN and RBV had undetectable HCV RNA at 24 weeks. In a second arm of the study, resistant viral variants were isolated from two of eight patients who received a combination of telaprevir and peg-IFN for 14 days. Both patients subsequently had undetectable HCV RNA at week 12 of follow-on therapy.
Current Status of Patients Receiving Follow-On Peg-IFN and RBV Combination Therapy After a 14-day, Phase 1b Clinical Trial of Telaprevir (VX-950)
On Tuesday, October 31, Dr. Nicole Forestier of Saarland University Hospital in Homburg, Germany will review the current status of 20 patients from a Phase 1b study who received 14 days of telaprevir therapy either alone or in combination with peg-IFN, or peg-IFN alone, in a poster presentation titled "Current status of subjects receiving peg-interferon alfa-2a (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) after a 14-day study of the hepatitis C protease inhibitor telaprevir (VX-950), with peg-IFN." Clinical investigators previously reported that at the end of 14 days of dosing, one of eight patients receiving telaprevir as a single agent and four of eight patients receiving telaprevir in combination with peg-IFN had undetectable HCV RNA (less than 10 IU/mL, Roche Taqman(R)).
All patients who did not discontinue therapy at week 24 are expected to continue to receive peg-IFN+RBV for a total of 48 weeks of treatment. The current status of patients, as reported by the poster authors, is described in the following table:

2nd UPDATE: Elan Up On Early Phase III For Alzheimer's Drug5-21-07 7:15 AM EDT
By Quentin Fottrell
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
DUBLIN -(Dow Jones)- Shares in Elan Corp. PLC (ELN) surged Monday after the Irish drug group and U.S. partner Wyeth (WYE) said they will start early Phase III clinical trials of AAB-001, their treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease which analysts say could become a blockbuster drug.
With Phase III starting in mid-2007 rather than mid-2008 as previously expected, analysts say AAB-001 could potentially receive approval by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration by late-2008.
Investors liked the news, which indicates increased confidence in the Alzheimer's program. At 1050 GMT, Elan shares reached a daily high, rising nearly 13%, or EUR1.50, at EUR13.20 in Dublin, out performing the broader market with the ISEQ Overall Index up 0.9% at 9751. Although Phase II is not yet complete, the two drug companies said Phase III clinical trial design will be finalized with regulatory agencies, and subject to their approval, it will begin in the second half of 2007.
Davy Stockbrokers, which doesn't rate shares, raised its sum-of-the-parts valuation for Elan to $21.00 from $16.10 to reflect the "advance" in the Alzheimer's program. "This is a key catalyst for the shares," Davy's Jack Gorman said.
NCB Stockbrokers' Orla Hartford, who rates Elan a buy, said there was "real potential" for early filing of AAB-001, adding that interim analysis of Phase II over the next three months could "transform Elan's investment case."
She said that evidence of plaque reduction on the brain by AAB-001 with statistical evidence on quality of life improvements would provide a "compelling case" for filing AAB-001 for approval after Phase II is completed.
Goodbody Stockbrokers' Ian Hunter welcomed the early Phase III, but added, " The only frustrating element for the market is that, given that the Phase II trial is ongoing, we will not get a sight of the data until early 2008."
Hunter maintains a buy recommendation on Elan, predicting "conservative" peak annual sales for AAB-001 of $2.2 billion by 2014 should the treatment get final approval by the regulatory authorities.
"The Alzheimer's market is huge," Hunter said. "It has the potential to be the next big indication for pharmaceutical companies, especially as the baby boomers come into the Alzheimer's-prone age group."
Last month, Elan Corp's chief executive officer Kelly Martin told Dow Jones Newswires that there are about 10 million Alzheimer's patients in the U.S. and Europe, with tens of billions of dollars of potential revenue.
He also flagged a "series of Alzheimer's advancements" by year-end, shifting the focus away from Elan's multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri, which has up until now been the main focus for investors in the company.
Elan's share price has had a rollercoaster ride over the last five years: falling from its 2002 high of EUR50.27 due to revelation of now-resolved accounting troubles in 2002, and the temporary suspension of Tysabri in 2005.
In February 2005, Elan and joint venture partner Biogen Idec PLC (BIIB) suspended Tysabri in the U.S. on safety grounds. Tysabri was re-launched in the U.S. and launched for the first time in the E.U. in June 2006.
That temporary setback followed a long and arduous recovery for Elan, beginning with a change of senior management in 2002 when its former CEO and Chairman, the late Donal Geaney, resigned amid accounting troubles.
