Jolly, PhD & Thomas TillettSpeakersWilliam W. Li, MD<strong>Gene</strong> Transfer <strong>of</strong> FGF1 for Critical Limb Ischemia: A Phase III Clinical TrialRobert Sims, MDProgress in the Development <strong>of</strong> Sipuleucel-T for the Treatment <strong>of</strong> Men with Metastatic, Castrate Resistant Prostate CancerSipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy designed to elicit an antitumor response against prostate cancer. Sipuleucel-T is manufactured by incubating antigenpresenting cell precursors with a fusion protein composed <strong>of</strong> prostatic acid phosphatase linked to GM-CSF. Sipuleucel-T is then reinfused into the patient and the process isrepeated every 2 weeks for a total <strong>of</strong> 3 infusions. It has been evaluated in 3 randomized placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostatecancer, which have demonstrated clear evidence <strong>of</strong> prolongation <strong>of</strong> survival. The presentation will include an update on the regulatory status <strong>of</strong> sipuleucel-T currentclinical trials, as well as planned future trials.Ryuichi Morishita, MD, PhDDevelopment <strong>of</strong> HGF <strong>Gene</strong> <strong>Therapy</strong> Drug (Collategen)As HGF is a most potent mitogen to stimulate angiogenesis, a multi-center randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study for critical limb ischemia (CLI) using HGFplasmid DNA was conducted, based on phase I/IIa open label study at Osaka University. Improvement rate was 70.4 % in HGF and 30.8% in placebo in Fontaine III/Rutherford 4 patients (P=0.014). HGF gene therapy achieved a significantly higher improvement rate <strong>of</strong> ischemic ulcers compared with placebo (100% vs. 40%,P=0.018). No major safety problems were observed. Based on phase III data, NDA was submitted to Japan Regulatory Agency (MHWL) on 2008. In USA, phase IIIstudy using HGF gene therapy will be started in 2010, since phase III USA study obtained SPA from FDA.Sander van Deventer, MD, PhDGlybera for Lipoprotein Lipase DeficiencySaturday, May 22 ndEXHIBITOR PROSPECTUSfinal program
