nachdem Prometic eine harte Durststrecke hinter sich gelassen hat und der Kurs dies auch widerspiegelt, mehren sich die Anzeichen dafür, dass 2011 und 2012 die bisher besten Jahre in der Unternehmensgeschichte werden könnten. Deswegen dieser neue Thread, da der alte namentlich etwas irreführend erscheint: Prometic ist mit Genta nicht zu vergleichen!
Zahlreiche Partnerschaften mit namhaften Pharmagrößen und Vertriebsspezialisten, Unterstützung verschiedener Regierungen und des Roten Kreuzes sowie eine zuletzt beschlossene Zusammenarbeit mit Allist Pharmaceuticals aus China machen dieses Unternehmen top interessant.
Sollten sich die Prognosen bewahrheiten und Prometic Ende dieses Jahres Lizenzzahlungen seines italienischen Partners Kedrion erhalten, dann sind alle Weichen auf Break-even gestellt.
Des Weiteren wartet man auf eine Entscheidung der britischen Regierung, ob der Einsatz von P-Capt-Filtern bei Blutentnahmen/-Spenden/-transfusionen gesetzlich vorgeschrieben werden soll - von einem Feuerwerk zu sprechen wäre dann schlicht untertrieben.
Und zum Schluss noch hier die letzte Pressemitteilung zum Bau einer neuen Fertigungsanlage, veröffentlicht am 08.02.2011 auf der Homepage:

Lasst uns hier fundierte Prognosen veröffentlichen und daraus realistische Kursziele ableiten...

Posted on February 20, 2011
ProMetic would like to bring to your attention a recently published article by Dr. R. Knight of the UK National CJD Surveillance Unit.
The article is titled "The risk of transmitting prion disease by blood or plasma products".
Points to note include the following sections 5. What can be done? that touches on four broad possible protective actions: donor selection, donation testing, infectivity inactivation and infectivity removal, and 6. Summary which is listed below.
6. Summary
Blood from vCJD donors contains infectivity that can be transmitted to recipients via red cell transfusion and, probably, via other products, including plasma and plasma derivatives. Many precautionary measures have been introduced but the magnitude of risk remains uncertain due to several unknowns, not least the uncertainty of the number of infected individuals in the general population.
There are no currently validated blood tests for prion infectivity. Blood prion filters have been developed and their adoption into clinical transfusion practice is being considered.
The P-Capt® prion filter, co-developed by ProMetic and MacoPharma SA, has been commercially available since 2006, and is the only proven approach to reducing the risk of vCJD transmission from red blood cell concentrate.

Die Brisanz dieser News liegt in der Aussage des Dr. Knight, dass es momentan keine nachweislich geprüften Bluttests für Prioneninfektionen gibt:
"There are no currently validated blood tests for prion infectivity. "
Und das hier ist ein Faktenhammer:
Der P-Capt-Filter,..., ist seit 2006 verfügbar und der einzige nachweislich geprüfte Methode zur Risikominderung von vCJD-Übertragungen durch rote Blutkörper:
"The P-Capt® prion filter, co-developed by ProMetic and MacoPharma SA, has been commercially available since 2006, and is the only proven approach to reducing the risk of vCJD transmission from red blood cell concentrate."
Also kommt die Frage auf:
Worauf warten die Verantwortlichen noch? Auf Selbstheilung?
Der Einsatz der Filter ist schon längst überfällig!

Press Releases
ProMetic on target for its plasma-derived therapeutics business
- Second tranche of funds received; brings total investment in NewCo to date at $1.5 M
- ProMetic's headquarters on schedule to move to NewCo's facility by end of March
- NewCo's manufacturing facility on target to commence operations by end of 2011
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA - February 28, 2011 - ProMetic Life Sciences Inc. (TSX:PLI) ("ProMetic") announced today that the Company received a second $750,000 investment tranche for its new subsidiary NewCo. This brings the total equity investment received to date to $1,500,000, as part of a $2,500,000 commitment.
On February 7, 2011, ProMetic announced that it had created NewCo to enter into a long-term lease on very favorable conditions for an existing state-of-the-art facility and to undertake the development and manufacturing of high-value plasma-derived therapeutic biosimilars for ProMetic's current and future clients. This facility, located in Laval, Quebec's biotech cluster, will have a targeted processing capacity of 150,000 L, allowing the supply of products with a market value exceeding $100,000,000 per annum.
The Company also disclosed that NewCo would be funded via third-party investments; with ProMetic's existing clients it is anticipated that NewCo will rapidly become self-sustaining through end product services and sales.
"This enabling project for ProMetic is attracting significant interest from strategic players and investors," stated Pierre Laurin, ProMetic's President and Chief Executive Officer.
NewCo will allow the Company to benefit, at commercial scale, from the competitive advantage provided by its proven Plasma Protein Purification System ("PPPSTM") as well as its prion capture technologies. The manufacturing plant will supply plasma-derived therapeutic products to ProMetic's existing and future clients, as well as allowing ProMetic to provide technology transfer and skills training services. The plant is expected to start up operations by the end of 2011, provide cGMP products to be used by clients in early 2012, and reach full operating capacity by 2014.
"The preparatory work for the relocation of ProMetic's headquarters to NewCo's facility has already started and the move should be completed by the end of March," commented Bruce Pritchard, ProMetic's Chief Financial Officer.
About the Plasma Protein Purification System
The Plasma Protein Purification System ("PPPSTM") allows for the targeting and removal of multiple high-value proteins from a single plasma sample at unprecedented activity levels using ProMetic's Mimetic LigandTM adsorbent technology. This system also provides for the recovery of new biotherapeutics as they are discovered and identified. The effect of this process is to reduce the significant losses incurred when using the more conventional Cohn precipitation process

Hier nochmal die Vorstellung von PBI-1402, neben P-Capt und der Purification-Technologie der Hoffnungsträger bei PLI:
Anemia – PBI 1402
ProMetic’s lead candidate drug, PBI-1402, addresses substantial unmet medical needs.
- PBI-1402 is orally active, whereas most other drugs treating anemia are injectables.
- PBI-1402 has shown anticancer activity in multiple pre-clinical models.
- PBI-1402, all the while mimicking EPO’s biological activity, has a distinct mechanism of action from EPO, as it does not bind to the same cell surface receptor as EPO. It therefore provides great promise of serving as a stand-alone therapeutic in the treatment of patients with anemia.
- PBI-1402 is an affordable low molecular weight synthetic candidate drug, relative to costly recombinant proteins, such as EPO.
- PBI-1402 addresses a worldwide marketplace that exceeds $15 billion.
PBI-1402 for the treatment of Anemia indications
The initial indication targeted by PBI-1402 is anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Upwards of two thirds of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy develop anemia. Treatment with EPO, the current drug of choice for this indication, is active in only 50 to 60 percent of these patients.
PBI-1402 has reported positive clinical results in the chemotherapy-induced anemia trial and demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability, as well as an impressive efficacy profile. A Phase II trial of PBI-1402 demonstrated a significant increase in the red blood cell count and the hemoglobin level in patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia (“CIA”). In this open-label Phase II trial, patients each received PBI-1402 once daily at doses ranging from 44mg/kg to 88mg/kg. Analysis of the data showed that only 2 patients out of 28 (7%) treated with PBI-1402 required a RBC transfusion, a response rate greater than 90% with regards to this clinical objective. In the March 13, 2008 FDA briefing document, the Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee emphasizes that the primary objective of treating CIA patients with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (“ESAs”) as being the ability to reduce the need for RBC transfusion. The Advisory Committee cites that approximately 50% of anemic patients receiving chemotherapy required RBC transfusion, and 20%-25% of patients treated with ESAs still required RBC transfusions.
The encouraging positive results from the CIA clinical trial and the anticancer effects reported in animal models seem to indicate that PBI-1402 is well suited for the treatment of anemia in oncology, resulting in the PBI-1402 clinical platform being extended to patients suffering from cancer-related anemia. Moreover, approximately twenty million patients in the U.S. alone are diagnosed with chronic kidney diseases (“CKD”). Patients diagnosed at severe CKD stages (3 and 4) often develop anemia before they require hemodialysis. CKD patients still at the pre-dialysis stage could greatly benefit from an orally administered drug as a treatment for their anemia.
Recent experiments based on a 5/6 nephrectomized rat model have demonstrated the ability of PBI-1402 to correct anemia. This model simulates chronic renal failure in humans, a condition whereby the kidneys fail to produce sufficient EPO for the stimulation of red blood cell production. These results indicate additional potential for PBI-1402.

Ich denke, es wird Zeit für PLI auch hier den Schleier zu lüften. Die letzte Meldung zu PBI-1402 wurde in Zusammenhang mit der Kooperationsvereinbarung mit Allist Pharmac. veröffentlicht. Mir wurde mal gesagt, PLI sei ein "One-Trick-Pony" und ich habe damals dem zugestimmt. Jedoch revidiere ich jetzt diese Aussage. Prometic hat mehrere heisse Produkte bzw. Produktkandidaten und längst nicht mehr von dem Erfolg eines Produktes abhängig.

Entschuldigt mich bitte, aber diese Äußeruung geht bei mir runter wie Butter.
Und "Pivotal Year for Prometic" kann ich nur unterstreichen; bei denen wird sich dieses Jahr, wie ich schon vorher geschrieben habe, ziemlich vieles ändern. Hoffen wir weiterhin, dass es die Shares explodieren lässt. Ich warte nun auf die Entscheidungen des britischen Unterhauses zur P-Capt-Einführung und den ersten Lizenzzahlungen von Kedrion.

ProMetic announces signature of definitive license agreement with Kedrion for two hyperimmune products
- Kedrion has in-licensed ProMetic's yield improving technology
- $30 M potential annual revenue derived from ProMetic sales of the first hyperimmune product in the U.S. market
- Incorporation of ProMetic's technology in Kedrion's manufacturing process
MONTREAL, QUEBEC (CANADA) - February 26, 2008 - ProMetic Life Sciences Inc. ("ProMetic") (TSX:PLI) announced today that it has signed the definitive agreement for development of two hyperimmunes with Kedrion S.p.A. ("Kedrion").
Terms of this agreement call for upfront and milestone payments, as well as service fees to ProMetic. Potential revenues to ProMetic from Hepatitis B Hyperimmune direct sales in North America are to exceed $30 M annually, which are expected to commence in 2011.
The first product to be developed will target the Hepatitis B Hyperimmune market which is currently estimated in Europe and in the U.S. to be at $200 M and is expected to be at $400 M by 2015.
Kedrion has in-licensed ProMetic's technologies for the manufacturing of hyperimmune products in Europe. Royalties, licensing and service fees for the sales of products in Europe will be paid by Kedrion to ProMetic with ProMetic retaining the commercial rights for the fully developed hyperimmune products for the North American market. ProMetic will in turn pay Kedrion royalties on its sales of the hyperimmune products in North America.
The product development program, including the clinical trial designed to meet U.S. and European regulatory requirements will be funded by Kedrion, who will be the holder of the products registration for both markets.
"This agreement with Kedrion will leverage ProMetic's ability to penetrate into the North American hyperimmune product market and expand on our existing revenue base," commented Mr. Pierre Laurin, President and Chief Executive Officer of ProMetic.
