DSM buys Upfront's Rhobust chromatography tech
By Gareth Macdonald, 05-May-2010

DSM Biologics says combining its XD platform with newly-acquired Rhobust chromatography platform will create high yield, low cost bio-manufacturing option.

The US-based DSM unit has had its eye on the platform since September 2007 when it provided former owner, Danish purification technology specialist Upfront Chromatography, with funding to further its development.

Financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed although it is understood that DSM will continue to work with customers that already use the technology.

Rhobust is an expanded-bed absorption (EBA) technology in which cross-linked tungsten carbide and agarose beads create a purification surface designed to improve recovery yields during bio-processing.

The enhanced purification capacity offered by Rhobust has significant application in the field of high density bio-production according to DSM VP of global technology Rolf Douwenga.

He explained that the XD platform’s ability to operate at densities of 200m cells per ml and produce, for example, up to 27 grams of antibody per litre has created a need for downstream technologies able to match this capacity.

“With the Rhobust technology we can address this issue, and we are constantly broadening our technology portfolio for an even more effective bio-manufacturing process."

DSM Biologics president Karen King also stressed the benefits of the bringing the technologies together for the bio-processing industry.

She suggested they “will provide an integral package combining high titre, high yield processing with efficient downstream processing leading to lower manufacturing costs."

And, while King did not say where Rhobust will be applied, it is likely it will be used at contract bio-manufacturing plant DSM is developing in Queensland, Australia , given that production at the facility will utilise the XD platform.

Royal Adelaide Hospital Approves Commencement of Patrys Melanoma Human Trial

Approval granted for human clinical trial to evaluate PAT-SM6 as a treatment for melanoma

Trial to be conducted in Australia where melanoma rate is highest in the world
Patient recruitment will commence immediately; first data expected during the 2HCY2010

Melbourne, Australia; 2 August, 2010: Patrys Limited (ASX: PAB), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of natural human antibody based therapies for deadly cancers, announced today the approval of a human clinical trial to evaluate PAT-SM6 as a treatment for melanoma.
Approval to commence the trial came from the Human Research Ethics Committee at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
PAT-SM6 is a natural human antibody that has shown great promise in laboratory and animal testing as a potential treatment for multiple types of cancer, with a particularly strong potency against melanoma.
Melanoma is a very serious global medical problem, with an expected doubling of incidence every 15 years. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, where nearly 10,000 cases are diagnosed each year. Current treatments for metastatic melanoma are largely ineffective, resulting in a five year survival rate of just 16%.
This will be the first trial globally to target Glucose-Regulated Protein 78 (GRP78) as a treatment for melanoma. GRP78 is a protein over-expressed on the surface of cancer cells that plays a role in the aggressiveness of the disease. In contrast, GRP78 is not present on the surface of normal cells. PAT-SM6 is thus a novel treatment with a potentially potent yet safe profile.
Patrys CEO, Dan Devine, commented: “This is exciting on a number of levels. First, PAT-SM6 offers a potentially new treatment for melanoma, where current therapies are largely ineffective."
"In addition, this is the first trial of a product produced using Patrys' proprietary manufacturing platform for natural human antibodies – which is groundbreaking and which sets a precedent for advancing other clinical candidates from our pipeline.”
The clinical trial will be conducted at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia and enrol approximately 10 patients. The primary endpoint for the trial is to measure the safety of PAT-SM6. Multiple secondary endpoints are aimed at measuring the anti-tumour activity of PAT-SM6.
First patient data from the trial is expected to be available in the 2HCY2010. The trial is expected to take approximately twelve months to complete.
Should PAT-SM6 prove safe and well tolerated in this first human study, Patrys anticipates the immediate start of a second clinical trial for PAT-SM6 that will target up to 25 patients with metastatic melanoma and additional types of cancer. The production process for this larger trial has commenced.
____
Appendix: PAT-SM6 Human Clinical Trial - Melanoma
Approval: Approval for this trial was granted by the Human Ethics Committee of the Royal Adelaide Hospital on 30 July 2010 and notification given to the Australian regulatory body, the Drug and Safety Evaluation Branch of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The trial will be conducted under the TGA's Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) scheme.
Global Standards: The trial will be conducted in accordance with the principles of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), which incorporate standards of conduct for clinical trials that are essentially uniform for all the major regulatory agencies world-wide, including the United States FDA and Australia’s TGA.
Trial Title: A Single Dose, Dose Escalating, Phase I Clinical Trial of PAT-SM6 Monoclonal Antibody in Patients with Recurrent In-Transit Cutaneous Melanoma
Primary Objectives: Establish the safety profile of a single dose of the anti-GRP78 monoclonal antibody PAT-SM6 in patients with recurrent in-transit cutaneous melanoma
Major Secondary Objectives:
Describe the pharmacokinetics of PAT-SM6
Screen for the development of patient antibodies against PAT-SM6 (immunogenicity)
Explore the anti-tumour activity of PAT-SM6
Assess the pharmacodynamic effect(s) of PAT-SM6 in patient tumour samples
Identify potential predictors (biomarkers) of therapeutic efficacy and/or safety

Method: This trial is a multicentre, open-label, dose-escalation, Phase I study. Patients will receive a single dose of PAT-SM6 intravenously, followed 96 hours later by collection of cutaneous tumour tissue.

Patrys Secures Funding of up to A$15 Million to Support Advancement of Clinical Products

Patrys intends to use the funding to enhance shareholder value primarily by supporting the advancement of its lead anti-cancer therapeutic candidates, including, but not exclusively, PAT-SM6, PAT-SC1 and PAT-LM1.

PAT-SM6: the Company has recently received approval to commence a clinical trial to evaluate PAT-SM6 as a treatment for melanoma. The funding received from Advance will be used in part to advance PAT-SM6 into a larger clinical trial in 2011 that will target additional melanoma patients and patients with other cancers.

Question: What is the significance of this trial to the advancement of PAT-SM6, and more broadly, Patrys’ pipeline?
Patrys: Approval for a first-in-human clinical trial for PAT-SM6 is a significant milestone for all of the Company’s stakeholders, including the patients we aim to treat, our potential strategic partners and our shareholders.
It provides the first opportunity to evaluate the potential of PAT-SM6 as a treatment for cancer and its safety and efficacy in humans. The clinical trial is a therapeutic landmark, given that PAT-SM6 kills cancer in a completely different way compared to existing treatments, in turn offering patients a promising alternative to existing treatments, which are mostly ineffective and unsafe.
Patrys’ business model is based on partnering our products with larger companies for advanced clinical development. What this trial allows us to communicate to those potential partners is that we can manufacture and advance our products to the clinic under mandated regulatory guidelines, and that we can gain clinician/oncologist support for the clinical development of our products. That validation is critical.
From a broader perspective, our success with PAT-SM6 is indicative of what value we can create overall as a Company, as all of our products emanate from the same natural human antibody platform. In other words, the ability to manufacture at large scale and get clinician support to advance PAT-SM6 to a human trial is a direct example of what is possible with our entire pipeline.
Question: PAT-SM6 applies to many cancers, so why is Patrys targeting melanoma in this first trial?
Patrys: Melanoma was selected as the first indication due to a number of factors.
Firstly, laboratory experiments show that PAT-SM6 binds to melanoma cells strongly and kills them. In fact, PAT-SM6 bound to 100% of the melanoma patient tumours screened. This is a uniquely high hit rate, resulting in added confidence that PAT-SM6 could attack the tumours of all the patients enrolled in the study. This is an important and differentiating feature of PAT-SM6, as melanoma tumours can vary significantly from one patient to another, and treatments on the market often fail to work for all patients. Secondly, PAT-SM6 binds to a protein called GRP78 that is present at high levels in melanoma cancer tissues, and third-party researchers have shown that the level of GRP78 in a given patient’s melanoma tissue is proportional to the aggressiveness of an individual’s cancer, therefore making melanoma a good choice.
More broadly, targeting GRP78 makes biological or therapeutic sense as multiple independent researchers have shown that GRP78 plays a number of roles in cancer, including in the spread of cancer beyond its primary tumour site (metastases) and the resistance of cancer cells to existing treatments. We intend to interrupt those cancer cell processes by blocking the normal function of GRP78 by treating patients with PAT-SM6.
Finally, biopsies can be obtained from melanoma tumours that are on the surface of the skin without an invasive surgical procedure. That clinical study design feature will facilitate enrolment and allow us the possibility of analysing those biopsies post treatment as one means to study the anti-cancer activity of PAT-SM6.
Question: When can the public expect to see results from the melanoma clinical trial?
Patrys: Over the next nine months, we intend to update shareholders on safety data following recruitment of the third, sixth and tenth patient. The exact timing of those announcements will be determined by the recruitment of patients who meet the criteria for inclusion.
We will report any material efficacy data as it arises and we will continue to monitor patients well beyond the trial conclusion to collect data on the prevention of recurrence of melanoma in treated patients.
Question: Patrys has mentioned a second PAT-SM6 clinical trial. Are details about that trial available?
Patrys: Assuming the level of doses of PAT-SM6 administered in this first trial are proven safe, we will have the data necessary to progress to a trial with more patients and higher dosing. This trial will focus on melanoma with the possibility that we will include patients with other indications such as pancreatic cancer and colon cancer.
To avoid delays in commencing the second trial, Patrys has begun the necessary production activities to support that second trial. The full implementation of this clinical strategy of course depends on future funding.

Lanzaam maar zeker wordt het sprookje de waarheid, PerC6 gaat het nieuwe besturing systeem worden in de biotech.
Indien Crucell zelfstandig blijft kunnen de aandelen binnenkort gesplitst worden. Dit is met Bill zijn aandelen ook een paar keer gebeurd.

Opmerkelijke info van eerder deze maand, flosz. Thanks. Als PER.C6 toch zou beginnen te rollen (en ergens moet de eerste steen voor een wiel weg), dan begrijp je de move van mt/rvc niet. Waarom je onafhankelijkheid nu vrijwillig opgeven? Een veel betere beloning van het mt/rvc ligt dan immers in het verschiet. Zal ongetwijfeld al geopperd zijn, maar zou Crucell lucht hebben gekregen van een mogelijk vijandig bod. De toekomst is dan onvoorspelbaar en die is met J&J wat scherper. Overigens met een tijdshorizon van 1 tot 3 jaar.

USA FDA Confirms Orphan Drug Status for Anti-Cancer Product PAT-SC1
Orphan designation confirmed for PAT-SC1 clinical product
Provides 7 years market exclusivity in the USA post approval
PAT-SC1 treatment of gastric cancer patients provided significant survival benefit

Melbourne, Australia; 5 November, 2010: Patrys Limited (ASX: PAB; “Company”), which is focused on the development of safer and more potent treatments for cancer, has received confirmation of Orphan Medicinal Product Designation for anti-cancer product PAT-SC1 from the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Orphan product designation is intended to provide incentives to encourage companies to pursue cures and treatments for rare diseases with high unmet medical needs.

Under orphan drug status, PAT-SC1 qualifies for potential grant funding during development as well as a period of marketing exclusivity upon FDA approval.
PAT-SC1 has been evaluated for safety and efficacy in a human clinical trial involving gastric cancer patients. The results were encouraging, as patients treated with PAT-SC1 experienced a significant survival benefit compared to a historical control set of patients that received similar treatment but for the PAT-SC1 antibody.
The product is now being converted to Patrys' recently developed large scale manufacturing technology in preparation for a second trial.
The FDA was formally asked to confirm that orphan status is available for PAT-SC1 as produced using Patrys' new manufacturing technology. That confirmation was recently received by Patrys.
Orphan drug designation is available for disease indications where the incidence in the USA is less than 200,000 cases. In the case of gastric cancer in the USA, just over 20,000 new cases per year are reported.
Importantly, while an orphan indication in the USA, the market is much larger as reflected in the fact that over 1,000,000 new cases are reported every year worldwide. The disease is deadly, as the lives of 800,000 gastric cancer patients are lost every year.

PAT-SC1 Lead Candidate (Gastric Cancer)

Converting to PER.C6® manufacturingplatform
PhaseII human trial (2011)

These factors present a unique opportunity for Patrys with respect to PAT-SC1, because the product can benefit from the potential for fast track development in the USA. Approval in the USA can then be leveraged globally where the market is more commercially significant.
The conversion of PAT-SC1 to Patrys’ large-scale manufacturing technology is expected to be completed by June 2011. During this period the Company will assess the opportunities to advance PAT-SC1 into a second clinical trial as an internal program or through a larger industry partner.

Patrys Completes Treatment of First Patient Group in Melanoma Trial
Treatment of first patient group at initial dose of lead product PAT-SM6 now complete
No safety issues reported in any patients treated
Expect to advance quickly to second group of patients at higher dose

Melbourne, Australia; 10 November, 2010: Patrys Limited (ASX: PAB), which is focused on developing revolutionary treatments for cancer, announced today that it has completed the treatment of the first group of patients in a melanoma clinical trial for lead product PAT-SM6.
PAT-SM6 is a natural human antibody that has shown promise as a potential treatment for multiple types of cancer including melanoma; importantly, it is the first reported clinical product to target a protein on the surface of cancer cells called GRP78 that plays a number of key roles in cancer cell survival, growth and metastases.
The first group of three patients was screened at the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) Cancer Centre and subsequently treated at the Pain and Anaesthesia Research Clinic, which is onsite at the RAH.
The first patient in this melanoma trial was treated on 19 October 2010, with the last patient in this group completing treatment on 1 November 2010. To date, no safety issues have been observed or reported for any patients treated with PAT-SM6.
Patrys has targeted a maximum of ten patients for this trial over ten months, so the Company is well within its anticipated timeline for completing the trial. Under the trial design, in total three different dose levels will be evaluated in three groups of patients.
Patrys Chief Medical Officer and President, Dr Marie Roskrow, commented: “We are very satisfied with the progress of this trial, both in terms of the product appearing safe to date, and the rate at which we are able to recruit patients."
Melanoma is a very serious global medical problem, with an expected doubling of incidence every 15 years. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, where nearly 10,000 cases are diagnosed each year. Current treatments for metastatic melanoma are largely ineffective, resulting in a five year survival rate of just 16%.
Patrys CEO, Dan Devine, added: "Advancing promising products through clinical development involves a number of important operational capabilities, including being able to produce quality material at large scale and recruiting patients for clinical trials in a timely fashion. Patrys has done both well with respect to the PAT-SM6 melanoma trial, which gives us great confidence going forward both for the development of PAT-SM6 and other Patrys lead products."
The primary aim of the current melanoma trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PAT-SM6. Multiple secondary endpoints are aimed at measuring the anti-tumour activity of PAT-SM6. All results will be finalised and reported at the end of the trial, which is expected to be by June 2011.
