Science Human Origins (www.discoveryinstitutepress.com the provocative new book from Discovery Institute Press, boldly addresses some of the most popular evolutionary arguments pertaining to controversial claims that humans and apes are related through common ancestry. In Science Human Origins three scientists challenge the claim that undirected natural selection is capable of building a human being. The authors critically assess fossil and genetic evidence that human beings share a common ancestor with apes, and debunk recent claims that the human race could not have started from an original couple.From:DiscoveryInstituteViews:18 0ratingsTime:02:51More inScience Technology

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Seattle Genetics, Inc. (SGEN) today announced results from a phase I clinical trial of ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed mature T-cell lymphoma (MTCL) patients, including patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL). The data were presented at the 54th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition being held December 8-11, 2012 in Atlanta, GA. ADCETRIS is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed to CD30. ADCETRIS is not currently approved for use in the front-line treatment of MTCL.

In the phase I trial, newly diagnosed patients received six cycles of ADCETRIS every three weeks in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (CHP). This regimen removes vincristine (Oncovin) from CHOP, the standard treatment in this setting. Patients who achieved at least a partial remission after completing six cycles of combination therapy were eligible to receive continued single-agent ADCETRIS for up to ten additional 3-week cycles. The primary endpoints of the trial included defining maximum tolerated dose of ADCETRIS in combination with CHP and evaluating safety. The secondary endpoints were investigator assessment of response, progression-free survival and overall survival.

After completing combination therapy, 26 of 26 patients (100 percent) treated with ADCETRIS plus CHP had an objective response, including 23 patients (88 percent) with a complete remission. All 23 patients who achieved a complete remission demonstrated normalized glucose uptake by PET (positron emission tomography) evaluation.

The standard front-line regimen for patients with mature T-cell lymphomas is a combination chemotherapy regimen, CHOP, that has demonstrated complete remission rates of 39 to 53 percent, with a 5-year overall survival rate of less than 50 percent, said Michelle Fanale, M.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma, Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. There is significant need to advance the treatment paradigm for newly diagnosed patients with these aggressive types of lymphoma. Data from this trial support further evaluation of ADCETRIS in the front-line treatment of patients with mature T-cell lymphomas.

Brentuximab Vedotin Administered Concurrently with Multi-Agent Chemotherapy as Front-line Treatment of ALCL and Other CD30-Positive Mature T-Cell and NK-Cell Lymphomas (Abstract #60)

Data were reported from 26 previously untreated patients who received the combination regimen of ADCETRIS plus CHP. Nineteen patients had sALCL, and seven patients had a diagnosis of another mature T- or NK-cell lymphoma. The median age of patients was 56 years. Key findings, which were highlighted in an oral presentation by Dr. Fanale, include:

These data provide strong rationale for our planned phase III clinical trial to evaluate ADCETRIS plus CHP compared to CHOP in front-line patients with mature T-cell lymphomas, said Clay B. Siegall, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Seattle Genetics. We are encouraged by the potential to introduce ADCETRIS into a novel regimen for these patients, with a goal of redefining front-line therapy from the standard therapeutic approach that has not seen an advance in decades.

A phase III clinical trial of ADCETRIS in CD30-positive MTCL patients is planned to compare progression-free survival in patients receiving ADCETRIS in combination with CHP (A+CHP) to patients receiving CHOP alone. The trial is expected to begin by late 2012 or early 2013.

Producing Viral Vectors for Clinical Trials With On-Site Clinical Manufacturing Facility
Viral gene therapy is being tested as treatment for numerous diseases, including cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, muscle diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative disease like Parkinson #39;s. While gene therapy is still available only as part of a clinical trial, scientists, clinicians and families hold hope that it will eventually become a fundamental part of modern medicine and provide treatment for the currently untreatable. Modified viruses used to deliver genetic material into cells, known as viral vectors, have become the go-to delivery capsule in gene therapy. Investigators use viral vectors to efficiently target certain cells and deliver genetic material into the cell nucleus where native genes reside. Nationwide Children #39;s has a unique facility that specializes in creating these viral vectors - a rare, incredibly beneficial asset to our Research Institute - called the Clinical Manufacturing Cleanroom Facility. So far, the Cleanroom Facility has produced several vectors for use in investigational new drug studies, and products for phase I clinical trials for the congenital blindness disorder, choroideremia, muscular dystrophy and inclusion body myositis. Additional trials focused on spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne and limb girdle muscular dystrophies are in the works. Having this facility on-site allows for expedited clinical trials at a much more affordable price, which all comes back to being able to offer the best possible care for all of our patients ...From:NationwideChildrensViews:5 0ratingsTime:01:33More inNonprofits Activism

LONDON, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec 13, 2012) - Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. (COTI) (TSX VENTURE:COT) released important new test results today proving that COTI-2, the company''s lead oncology candidate, stops cancer cells from replicating by correcting the effects of specific genetic errors affecting the p53 gene. COTI''s previous research had identified a strong statistical relationship between the presence of several p53 mutations and COTI-2''s in-vitro effectiveness in cancer cell lines with these mutations.

"Our experiments showed that COTI-2, at a low dose, restored the normal protein configuration of the R175H p53 gene mutation and did not affect normal p53 protein," said Dr. Wayne Danter, COTI''s President and CEO. "The R175H variant is found in many human cancers with additional strong statistical evidence suggesting that COTI-2 is highly effective in at least two other p53 ''HotSpot'' mutations found in about 20% of all human cancers. Additional experiments are planned to confirm the effect of COTI-2 on these other common p53 mutations (R248W and R273H)."

This new information represents an important advance in the understanding of COTI-2''s specific gene mutation mechanism of action with the results extending the test outcomes generated by Dr. Yu et al from the University of New Jersey as published in the May 2012 edition of the journal, Cancer Cell.

In the experiments:

"With this and other exciting new mechanism of action data we have decided to engage Destum Partners, a boutique advisory firm, in order to help bring new potential partners into dialogue and meet our timelines in securing a partnership for COTI-2. As such, all business development related inquiries should be directed to Destum Partners Inc." concluded Dr. Danter.
