TAMPA Dr. Burton Feinerman has spent more than a decade using stem cell therapies that are banned in the United States, sending desperate families to Peru seeking treatments for their babies' terminal conditions like Tay-Sachs disease.

The therapies are costly and unproven, and no insurer will cover them. But there is no law against a U.S. doctor recommending them, as long as they aren't performed here.

Now the 85-year-old pediatrician is focusing on a stem cell therapy he can perform in Tampa, for seniors with such incurable lung conditions as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.

Feinerman, medical director of the Tampa-based Lung Institute, says lung patients tend to get the most benefit from stem cell therapies. And he can treat them in the United States because he is re-infusing patients with their own stem cells, a legal process under certain circumstances.

But it's not approved as a lung disease therapy in this country. Neither the American Lung Association nor the International Society for Stem Cell Research have endorsed it. Medicare won't cover it.

So Feinerman's patients must pay cash between $7,500 and $12,000 for a three-day treatment, plus $4,500 for additional "boosters'' of cells extracted from their blood or abdominal fat.

The Lung Institute has produced a slick website and an advertising campaign, and it puts on seminars at which prospects can hear the testimonials of satisfied patients.

But there are no clinical data showing stem cell therapies benefit patients with lung disease, said Dr. Daniel Weiss, a professor at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and a leading lung disease researcher. Further, studies of mice suggest that if the therapies work, it likely would help only acute lung conditions like respiratory distress syndrome, not chronic conditions like COPD.

"I do not recommend any type of cell therapy (for lung disease) at this point," Weiss said.

Feinerman insists the doubters are wrong. "Just go to Google," he told a Times reporter who asked him for clinical research to back his claims. Lung Institute employees later provided citations for three journal articles, but none showed the treatments worked. In fact, Weiss wrote two of the articles.

President Obamas $215 million plan to expand research for cancer treatments to fit each individuals genetic makeup could mark a major shift in modern medicine, according to local geneticists.

I think there may be a tipping point soon when people realize genomic medicine is valuable, and this may be part of it, said George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. This seems to be part of a grass-roots groundswell that will lead to everyone wanting to have access to their genomic data.

The effort, which Obama called the precision medicine initiative, would study the genes of about a million volunteers to figure out how to personalize treatments for patients instead of using the same approach for each condition.

Doctors have always recognized that every patient is unique, and doctors have always tried to tailor their treatments as best they can to individuals, Obama said yesterday at the White House as he announced the initiative. You can match a blood transfusion to a blood type. That was an important discovery. What if matching a cancer cure to our genetic code was just as easy, just as standard?

The initiative will be in the budget Obama sends to Congress on Monday.

The president said the effort would provide the National Cancer Institute funds to identify genetic factors that cause cancer to help develop sophisticated new treatments. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration would also receive money to evaluate next-generation genetic tests.

Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist and physician-scientist at Brigham and Womens Hospital and Harvard Medical School, said the effort is something that the field has yearned for for many years.

Itll be a wonderful accelerator of progress, he said.

He added that while there is some skepticism about whether the field is solid enough now to invest in, this is exactly what is needed to take us to the point where we can start proving the worth of genomic medicine.

Local biotech executives, including from Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Foundation Medicine, were at the White House event.
