Business Wire
GammaCan International, Inc. (OTC BB: GCAN), a developer of
immunotherapies to treat melanoma and other cancers, today
announced that Patrick Schnegelsberg, Chief Executive Officer, will
provide a company overview and highlight GammaCan�s recent
developments at the Rodman & Renshaw 8th Annual�Healthcare
Conference, at 11:00 AM EST on November 8th at the New York Palace
Hotel in New York City. Mr. Schnegelsberg will provide a company
overview along with highlights on recent progress with VitiGam,
GammaCan's lead program under development to treat stage III and IV
melanoma and an update on the GCAN 101 Phase II trial. A live
Webcast of Mr. Schnegelsberg�s presentation will be available at
http://www.wsw.com/webcast/rrshq10/gcan.ob and also on GammaCan�s
website at http://www.gammacan.com under the "Investor
Information/Webcasts" link. The Webcast will be archived for
approximately 90 days. About VitiGam: VitiGam is GammaCan's second
generation intravenous IgG-based product and a first-in-class
anti-cancer immunotherapy. GammaCan plans on having VitiGam to
enter phase I/II testing under a US IND in the near future after it
recently held a pre-IND meeting with the FDA. VitiGam is being
designed to target metastatic melanoma patients with Stage III and
IV melanoma. VitiGam is an IgG product that is different from
standard IgGs: It is manufactured from the plasma of donors with
vitiligo, a benign autoimmune skin condition affecting up to 2% of
the general population. GammaCan scientists have shown that this
"enriched" vitiligo IgG (VitiGam) contains potent anti-melanoma
activity in both in vitro and mouse xenograft melanoma models.
Thus, GammaCan expects VitiGam to provide (1) anti-melanoma
activity directed specifically against malignant melanoma cells and
(2) non-specific anti-cancer activity - as is the case with IgG in
general. About GammaCan: GammaCan is focusing on the
commercialization of an innovative anti-cancer immunotherapy to
treat metastatic cancer. GammaCan's platform is based on IgG, a
safe, relatively non-toxic human plasma-based product, currently
used to treat a variety of immune deficiencies and autoimmune
diseases. IgG works by strengthening the patient's immune system.
Many experts currently view immunotherapy as a future alternative
to today's standard chemotherapy. GammaCan is developing VitiGam,
its second generation program. VitiGam is an IgG derived from the
plasma of vitiligo donors and is being developed to treat malignant
melanoma. GammaCan owns, and has applied for US patent protection
covering the use of IgG and vitiligo-derived IgG (VitiGam). For
