Gene therapy shrinks melanoma tumors



(MCT)

NEW YORK - Doctors wiped out melanoma by reengineering patients' own cells, marking the first time gene therapy has worked successfully against a cancer and raising hopes that the treatment can eradicate other forms of the disease.

Government scientists took healthy immune cells from patients with advanced forms of the skin cancer and taught the cells to recognize and destroy the cancer cells. Doctors then fed patients the tailor-made fighter cells intravenously, and their tumors gradually shrank.

Just two of the 17 patients in the study are still disease-free a year and a half after the treatment. But doctors said the research proved that the technique could help patients battling many forms of cancer.

"We can now convert normal lymphocytes into cells that can recognize very common cancers like breast, lung, ovary, prostate and so on. We haven't treated those patients yet, but this represents proof that this kind of approach can work," said study author Dr. Steven Rosenberg, chief of surgery at the National Cancer Institute.

The other 15 patients in the study, published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, grew low levels of the reengineered immune cells for at least two months. Since the trial began in December 2004, scientists have developed more advanced gene therapy techniques that could improve the results, Rosenberg said.

"It is totally intriguing," said Dr. Anna Pavlick, director of the NYU Cancer Institute's melanoma program.

But it's too soon to call the therapy a cure, she said.

"They didn't look at survival and they wouldn't be able to in this small group of patients. That's why it's a little bit premature to know how effective this is going to be, but nonetheless it is a treatment that needs to be studied in a larger number of patients," said Dr. Howard Kaufman, director of the tumor immunotherapy program at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia.

Melanoma is one of the deadliest and fastest-growing cancers in the United States. An estimated 62,190 people will develop the disease this year, and 7,910 will die of it, according to the American Cancer Society.

sp on the move 21%.

Finished a modest 4.7% up, not bad with still no news.

Just been on the other bb, what a load of crap being posted. Nothing in the weekend press, re erx.

forest
Crap everywhere I have asked ph not to post on this thread. news will come when it's ready.

Did anyone see the TV News item BBC 'Gene therapy shrinks melanoma tumors' Saturday 02/09/06 and was this tiddler of a company the one making the News ?
Presume it is based on early trades this morning!

mcmahons
Early trades this morning is based on the constant ramping on other sites ERX have made no such announcements and until they do every thing is pure speculation.

cheers

ERX have got there senior scientist writting a note with regards to the guardian report last week.., I emailed it them on friday night, they responded this morning saying a note will be issued ;-).. just sit and wait now

dont know why you lot are moaning, its going up.. or have you been waiting hopeing to get in cheaper and it has dones lately is go up.. oh dear!!! thats a pity, well never you mind, back in june the ceo said the sp was significantly undervalued and the price then was the same as about now.. so its not too late to get in, you just missed getting in sub .0020p thats all..

potatohead
No one is moaning I just don't want the pump and dump brigade on here some speculation is ok but not outright ramping.

Scientists at Harvard University have identified key compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain, which may one day lead to restored function for people affected by Parkinson's disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and a wide range of neurological disorders. These findings, which appear in the September 2006 issue of The FASEB Journal, provide important clues as to which compounds may be responsible for causing key brain cells, neurons, to regenerate and ultimately restore brain function.

The research study focused on two compounds--LTB4 and LXA4. Both play a role in inflammation and are regulators of proliferation of several cell types. When stem cells isolated from the brains of mouse embryos were exposed to LTB4 they proliferated and differentiated, giving rise to additional stem cells and to differentiated neurons with limited or absent capacity to divide. When exposed to LXA4, these cells experienced decreased growth and apoptosis.


"This study opens doors to new therapeutic approaches for a wide range neurological disorders and injuries that were once considered incurable," said Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal.

The study also provided so insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved when LTB4 stimulates neuronal stem cells. According to the study, cells generated as the result of LTB4 exposure had high levels of LTB4 receptors, whereas the level of LTB4 receptors was considerably lower in similar cells not generated by LTB4 stimulation. The investigators were further able to show that LTB4 up-regulated several molecules involved in cell cycling and growth, such as cyclins and epidermal growth factor receptor, and decreased those such as caspase 8 which play a role in apoptosis. LXA4 had the opposite effects.


The FASEB Journal (www.fasebj.org) is published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and is consistently ranked among the top three biology journals worldwide by the Institute for Scientific Information. FASEB comprises 21 nonprofit societies with more than 80,000 members, making it the largest coalition of biomedical research associations in the United States. FASEB's mission is to enhance the ability of biomedical and life scientists to improve -- through their research -- the health, well-being and productivity of all people. FASEB serves the interests of these scientists in those areas related to public policy, facilitates coalition activities among member societies and disseminates information on biological research through scientific conferences and publications.

No mention of ERX in there

02:47ihavenoclueRE: Riskypete ... ERXBuy
You say the interview says there will be lots of good news soon. ..Mon 18:32sharedealershare price?Strong Buy
well according to some on this site E.I.R.X. are about to make an announcement in the near future as regards to future progress of the company & affiliates, this should be very positive news, in that e.i.r.x. are at the fore-front of apoposis research & development, and have already patented certain parts of their re-search that protect intellectual rights e.t.c.
they are already in colaboration with a number of companies including meryk. and have taken on board Auvation from scotland who where in the same line of business and who,s aquisition was a perfect fit according to E.I.R.X. not to mention the french company (who,s name eludes me at the moment) this company has the ability to manafacture, as well as assist in research under licence to e.i.r.x.
I would be suprised if e.i.r.x. had no imput into last weeks announcements regarding the new sucsessful approach to treating cancers, via the apoptosis route, as they are years ahead of most in this field, and possibly all, so when an announcement is made don,t be suprised by a massive surge in the share price, as the big drug companies move in an attempt to buy in, or even buy them out, as they have most to loose if an absolute cure for cancers becomes a reallity, i.e. drugs that at most control cancer will be confined to history as will their profits.
What happened last week is just the beginning of a new era in medical science, so fill you,r boots with shares of e.i.r.x. I have.

Sharedealer100.

the press is wrtting a lot on apoptosis - at the end of the day.. they are all using ERX methods.. so therefore, we are bound to get something. and rather big I would say, after what J Pool said in his interview.. he said very soon and that was back in June, the way the SP has been going it does look soon.. look at all the news out below, its all available on google news, just search Apoptosis
