Supreme Court Can Set Back A Breast Cancer Cure for 10 years Says Rose Conrad Gennxeix Biotech Global CEO

Robert Graham Reporting From Baylor College Of Medicine Houston, Texas June 21,2012 PressWire Hybrid Medical Media:
Supreme Court can set back A Breast Cancer Cure for 10 years Says Rose Conrad Gennxeix Biotech Global CEO.
President Obama’s health-care law is key for the advancement of a breast cancer cure. The Science is here to cure breast cancer. Genomics is leading the way. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Targeted therapies for treating breast cancer have helped to reduce the death rate, according to results from Gennxeix Biotech clinical studies. Approximately 30% of malignant breast cancers demonstrate overamplification of the human epidermal receptor type 2 (HER2) gene. HER-2 can be resistant to low-doses of anthracycline-based chemotherapy. The Good News is that science has advanced. Sections of microarray provide targets for parallel in situ detection of DNA, RNA and protein targets in each specimen on the array. The better News is that Genomics is on the Clock. Docket No. 11-725 is the Supreme Court case that concerns the patents held on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are both closely associated with the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. The genes were isolated by Myriad Genetics and the University of Utah, and Myriad manufactures the only test currently available to identify the two genes is why President Obama Health Care must stay as it is says Rose Conrad Gennxeix Biotech Global CEO Genomics provide a faster cheaper more effective way to detect the Her2 gene by using Semiconductor Sequencing.

Hybrid Medical Media Summer Report on” The Status of a Cure for Breast Cancer”.

Robert Graham and Hybrid Medical Media Reporting from Chicago American Society of Clinical Oncology’s Cancer Research April, 2012
Hybrid Medical Media Summer Report on” The Status of a Cure for Breast Cancer”.
We are pleased to report that genomics science is making a major impact on breast cancer. 20% Of Breast Cancers are HER2 is over-expressed. HER2 Gene Amplified in Breast Cancer 82% Chance of Relapse. 34% chance of relapse. At The American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting in Chicago Roche announced the preliminary success of its antibody-drug conjugate T-DM1 (trastuzumab emtansine) in a critical Phase III clinical trial. While the exact numbers are not yet available, Roche reports that top-line data from the EMILIA trial showed patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer that were treated with T-DM1 displayed a significant increase in progression free survival, as compared to those treated with lapatinib plus Xeloda. T-DM1 is being developed under a licensing agreement between Roche’s Genentech and Immunogen, and is an exciting example of cutting-edge innovation in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development. Early ADCs (such as Seattle Genetics’ Adcetris) delivered chemotherapy directly to cancerous cells, by linking a small molecule chemotherapeutic to an antibody targeted towards a tumor specific marker. In contrast, Roche’s T-DM1 couples ImmunoGen’s cancer killer, DM1, to Genentech’s hugely successful therapeutic antibody Herceptin. In theory, T-DMI should provide the dual action benefits of Herceptin, which binds to the Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) expressed on the surface of some breast cancer cells. Herceptin binding to HER2 targets the cancer cells for destruction by the immune system, while simultaneously blocking growth-promoting HER2 signaling within the cell. By linking the anticancer compound DM1 to Herceptin, T-DM1 mounts a multi-pronged attack on breast cancer cells that express the HE R2 receptor (HER2+ breast cancer). This is an important strategy in the fight against breast cancer, as it is a disease in which many cellular pathways upregulate to promote tumor cell survival when another pathway is targeted by a cancer drug. Breast cancer can be molecularly inhomogeneous between patients – therefore targeting a therapy towards a certain segment of patients (just as T-DM1 and Herceptin treat HER2+ breast cancer patients) encourages the likelihood of a drug’s success within a given population. Roche, Immunogen and Genentech are all proudly touting T-DM1’s early success in the EMILIA trial. However, the improved overall progression free survival data presented is only one of the primary trial endpoints, and likely less important than improved overall survival (which requires more mature data). Genentech should be particularly sensitive to the fact that an improvement in progression free survival is not always enough to warrant drug approval. The UK’s National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence never approved its blockbuster cancer drug Avastin for the breast cancer indication, and ultimately the FDA withdrew the drug from the US market due a lack of data showing improved overall survival and severe side effects that counteracted the small retardation of disease progression. Avastin was initially approved in the US in 2008 under the FDA’s accelerated approval program, and the FDA may have learned their lesson as they refused to file Genetech’s Biologics License Application for T-DM1 under the same accelerated approval program in 2010. With this early data from the EMILIA trial, Genentech plans to try again and submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA for T-DM1 for treatment of metastatic HER2+ breast cancer later this year. Additionally, Roche plans to submit a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency. All parties involved seem to be optimistic; however, data demonstrating significant improvement in overall survival compared to current treatments for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer will be critical to the approval of T-DM1 by global regulatory and watchdog agencies. If they manage to fulfill this criterion, this collaboration stands to be extremely lucrative, as Herceptin sales amounted to 5.25 billion CHF in 2011. Following a recent epidemic of counterfeit Avastin in the US, and a loss of nearly 18% in Avastin sales attributed to the FDA’s withdrawal of its breast cancer indication, Roche and Genentech could really use a win. The better News is that Genomics is on the Clock. Genomics provide a faster cheaper more effective way to detect the Her2 gene by using Semiconductor Sequencing.

of his work is the ambitious national plan to fight Alzheimer’s disease. The plan was called for in the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA), which President Obama signed into law in January 2011. The National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease sets forth five goals, including the development of effective prevention and treatment approaches for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by 2025. In February 2012, the administration announced that it would take immediate action to implement parts of the plan, including making additional funding available in fiscal year 2012 to support research, provider education and public awareness. Today, the Secretary announced additional specific actions, including the funding of two major clinical trials, jumpstarted by the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) infusion of additional FY 2012 funds directed at Alzheimer’s disease; the development of new high-quality, up-to-date training and information for our nation’s clinicians; and a new public education campaign and website to help families and caregivers find the services and support they need. GenNXeix Event Coordinator To help accelerate this urgent work, the President’s proposed FY 2013 budget provides a $100 million increase for efforts to combat
Alzheimer’s disease. These funds will support additional research ($80 million), improve public awareness of the disease ($4.2 million), support provider education programs ($4.0 million), invest in caregiver support ($10.5 million), and improve data collection ($1.3 million). This and many other examples is why GenNXeix Biotech is Honoring Francis Collins. Proceeds from the event will support American Cancer Society, to initiate the development and deployment of promising new Genomics Science and therapies to improve and save patient lives. The celebrity chairperson of The Genomics Science Black Tie Ball is Congress Women Shelia Jackson Lee. “As a Biotech Engineering company, Hybrid Medical is honored to support The Genomics Science Black Tie Ball ,” says Robert Graham, Executive Vice President of GenNXeix Biotech North America. “It is only through the medical community and philanthropic outreach that we can complete our mission, which is putting into the hands of healthcare professionals the tools they need to treat breast cancer and to improve, prolong and save patient lives.” The first and only freestanding GenNXeix Biotech Engineering center of its kind in Houston, The Genomic Biotech, is hosting the event, as well as serving as a major sponsor Lilly. “Genomics Science Black Tie Ball was put together with the same principles for why we started Hybrid Medical on the most humanistic level,” says Selene Flores., the Center’s Founder and CEO. “It is about giving back to people and the community, and bringing genomics cancer care to the next level. It is in harmony with Genomic Biotech’s philosophy, which emphasizes caring for the whole person, not just treating their disease.

Breast Cancer Patients A Mother’s Day Gift From The Supreme Court - Returns BRCA1 & BRCA2 Genes To Women


Robert Graham Reporting From Baylor College Of Medicine Houston, Texas May 11,2012 PressWire Hybrid Medical Media:
Breast Cancer Patients A Mother’s Day Gift From The Supreme Court - Returns BRCA1 & BRCA2 Genes To Women
Hybrid Medical Media reports that the Supreme Court remanded the case of The Association for Molecular Pathology, et al., v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., et al (Docket No. 11-725) to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. The question is should one company have all the rights
to a gene that is the core of breast cancer ? Docket No. 11-725 is the Supreme Court case that concerns the patents held on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are both closely associated with the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. The genes were isolated by Myriad Genetics and the University of Utah, and Myriad manufactures the only test currently available to identify the two genes. In July 2011, the appellate court ruled 2-to-1 in favor of Myriad, stating that the genes could be patented because they did not occur in isolation in nature. This reversed a decision made by a US District Court in New York in March 2010 that stated that Myriad could not patent the genes. The Supreme Court made a decision regarding patents on molecular testing that prompted the nation’s highest judicial authority to ask the appellate court to reconsider its previous decision with regard to Myriad: The case of Mayo Collaborative Services, Mayo Medical Laboratories, et al., v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. (Docket No. 10-1150) concerned a blood test used to identify thiopurine metabolites
formed when the body breaks down thiopurine drugs taken by patients with gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal autoimmune diseases to determine whether a prescribing physician should raise or lower the drug dosage. Breast Cancer Patients Can Now Benefit From Every Scientist In The World Working On A Cure @GenNXeix Biotech Our Science NoteBook is BRCA1 BRCA2 Compliant Gennxeix Biotech is clear to sale it's Science NoteBook to Breast Cancer Doctors. Now that the Supreme court has ruled on Myriad Genetics Inc case. The is patent protection, Patent protection is important for companies that are focusing on personalized medicine, including Gennxeix Myriad Genetics Inc. (MYGN) and Novartis AG. (NOVN) The field involves determining whether a patient is genetically susceptible to a particular disease or would be especially responsive to certain medicine. On 26 March, the US Supreme Court handed down a short summary disposition as the latest instalment in a long-running case that questions whether human genes can be patented. The Court simply vacated the 2011 decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), which upheld Myriad Genetics Inc's (Myriad) patents relating to the BRCA genes, and sent the case back down to the CAFC for rehearing in light of a Supreme Court case on patenting laws of nature, handed down just six days earlier (Mayo Collaborative Services v Prometheus Laboratories, 10-1150) (Mayo). The History of. Case 10-1150 In 2009, the Association for Molecular Pathology together with many others filed suit against Myriad, the US Patent Office, and others, seeking to overturn 15 claims in seven of Myriad’s patents. The patents at issue relate to both process claims (method for detecting increased risk of breast cancer) and composition-of-matter claims (the BRCA1 and BRCA2 isolated genes). In 2010, Judge Sweet in the US District Court (SDNY) held that both the genes and methods were not patentable. In relation to the genes, they were not ‘markedly different’ to naturally occurring genes. Myriad’s argument that the technique of purifying the genes rendered the compounds patent-eligible was rejected. Judge Sweet noted the dual nature of genes as both compositions of matter and carriers of information. The fact that, even after the purification process, the information provided by the genes remained the same meant that they were unpatentable products of nature. As for the method claims, Judge Sweet relied on a ‘machine or transfer’ (MOT) test developed in an earlier CAFC decision (Bilski v Kappos) to conclude that the claims to the process of analysis or comparison in the technique were no more than ‘abstract mental processes’. However, the Supreme Court later qualified the CAFC opinion, leaving this aspect of Judge Sweet’s opinion particularly vulnerable to appeal. Unsurprisingly Myriad appealed, and last year the CAFC overturned parts of the first instance decision, finding that because isolated DNA had been ‘cleaved’ (covalent bonds in its backbone chemically severed) it was rendered a different molecule, just a fraction of a native DNA molecule, and thus patentable. However, on the method claims the CAFC largely upheld the prior decision, invalidating all claims except one on the basis that they were merely abstract mental processes. The surviving method claim was directed to a method for screening potential cancer therapies. This claim included a transformative step, satisfying the MOT test. How much guidance the Mayo case can provide for the CAFC, given that it deals with process patenting, rather than compositions of matter. In Mayo, the Supreme Court found that a process for determining dosages for a person with auto-immune disease was unpatentable. The relationship between certain concentrations of metabolites in a patient’s blood and the likelihood of under or over-dosing were merely laws of nature. Accordingly, the claimed processes were unpatentable unless they contained steps that genuinely applied the laws of nature, rather than merely constituting an attempt to monopolise the natural correlation itself. The additional steps in the claims did not transform an unpatentable law of nature into a patent-eligible application. Myriad will now have to wait for the CAFC to consider and apply the ramifications of Mayo, and decide on the composition of matter issue – probably late 2012 or 2013. For this reason, some analysists are predicting the CAFC may well uphold Myriad’s composition claims. In any event, Myriad has a suite of other patents protecting its BRACAnalysis technique which would likely deter others from its use, at least in the short term. So Myriad remains bullish on the issue, stating that it will ‘vigorously defend’ its claims because of their ‘great importance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other commercial industries’. Life Science Companies are free to find A Cure for Breast Cancer using Genomics.

Hybrid Media: Examines Pancreatic Cancer and Oil Spills Two Years After The BP Disaster

Robert Graham Reporting From OTC Offshore Technology Conference Houston, Texas April 30, 2012 A Interview with Rose Conrad GenNXeix Biotech Inc C.E.O

Hybrid Media: Examines Pancreatic Cancer and Oil Spills Two Years After The BP Disaster

All Workers Exposed To The BP Disaster should get a Genomics Test for Pancreatic Cancer says Rose Conrad Ph.D. Gennxeix Biotech researchers can compare normal and tumor DNA has shown that the gene for a subunit of the multi-subunit SWI/SNF protein complex was either deleted, mutated or rearranged in about a third of the 70 human pancreatic cancers from the region
that the GenNXeix team examined. Gennxeix researchers found that restoring the expression of one of the missing genes slowed the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. The pancreatic cancer enter a state called senescence. "This is really strong genetic evidence that this complex plays a role in pancreatic cancer, and it suggests the influence of the SWI/SNF complex is on par with that of other well-known tumor suppressors, such as p53. The tumor-suppressing role of the SWI/SNF complex We should not that, one person's pancreatic cancer might have a mutation or deletion in one protein subunit, while another's could have a change in a different subunit. Gennxeix used a array comparative genomic hybridization, or CGH, to pinpoint places in the genome that differed among normal and
cancerous pancreatic epithelial cells. The procedure relies on the ability of single-stranded DNA to seek out and bind to its mirror image. By comparing the relative amounts of tumor and normal DNA that bind to a panel of reference sequences, the researchers can tell whether the cancer cell contains amplifications or deletions of genetic material in specific regions throughout the genome. These copy-number variations often occur in genes or regions important in regulating uncontrolled cell growth. The researchers examined about 35 different pancreatic cancers, . 24 of the cancers were primary samples from human patients that had been asked to grow in immune-deficient mice; 11 had been maintained as laboratory-grown cancer cell lines. Gennxeix used high-density arrays of reference DNA sequences for the CGH, which allowed the identifi mplified or deleted regions at a much higher resolution than previously possible -- narrowing the areas of interest to just a few
thousand nucleotides rather than larger stretches of DNA. GeNnxeix looked at the results of the array CGH analysis, and observed that genes known to be involved in pancreatic cancer, and also some new candidates. In particular, they noticed that the genes for individual subunits of the SWI/SNF complex were altered in about 5 to 10 percent of the cancer samples -- an interesting finding, but not prevalent enough to spark further immediate investigation under normal circumstances. realized that more than a third of the cancer samples contained a deletion, mutation or rearrangement in the genes.
