Notes to Editors:
About Medgenics
Medgenics is developing and commercializing Biopump(TM), a
proprietary tissue-based platform technology for the sustained
production and delivery of therapeutic proteins using the patient's
own skin biopsy for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases
including anemia, hepatitis, and hemophilia, among others.
Medgenics believes this approach has multiple benefits compared
with current treatments, which include regular and costly
injections of therapeutic proteins.
Medgenics has three long-acting protein therapy products in
development based on this technology:
-- EPODURE(TM) to produce and deliver erythropoietin for many
months from a single administration, which has demonstrated
elevation and stabilization of hemoglobin levels in anemic patients
for periods of six months to more than 36 months in a Phase I/II
dose-ranging trial in Israel and has received approval for a Phase
IIa trial in dialysis patients and is in the process of launching
the trial in Israel. An Investigational New Drug application has
been cleared by the FDA to initiate a Phase IIb study to evaluate
the safety and efficacy of EPODURE in the treatment of anemia in
dialysis patients in the U.S.
-- INFRADURE(TM) for sustained production and delivery of
interferon-alpha for use in the treatment of hepatitis is awaiting
final approval of the Israeli Ministry of Health of two Phase I/II
trials in Israel in hepatitis C, slated to commence Q3 2012 and has
received Orphan Drug designation from the FDA to treat hepatitis
D.
-- HEMODURE(TM) for sustained production and delivery of
clotting Factor VIII therapy for the sustained prophylactic
treatment of hemophilia is now in development.
Medgenics is focused on the development and manufacturing of its
innovative Biopumps, aiming to bring them to market via strategic
partnerships with major pharmaceutical and/or medical device
companies.
In addition to treatments for anemia, hepatitis and hemophilia,
Medgenics plans to develop and/or out-license a pipeline of future
Biopump products targeting the large and rapidly growing global
protein therapy market, which is forecast to reach $132 billion in
2013. Other potential applications for Biopumps include multiple
sclerosis, arthritis, pediatric growth hormone deficiency, obesity
and diabetes.
