Bio USA che recentemente ha superato delle resistenze piuttosto importanti con volumi e che potrebbe riservare un futuro interessante per via del loro prodotto che protegge i tessuti dalle radiazioni chemio....sembra che la FDA abbia da poco mostrato interesse...vediamo cosa accadrà....
-------
Cleveland Biolabs, a clinical-stage biotechnology company based out of Buffalo, NY (CBLI) with subsidiaries in Russia (covered later), has developed an anti-radiation drug CBLB502 (now known as Entolimod) which can be taken 24 hours before or even up to 48 hours after being exposed to a 70% lethal dose of radiation. A single dose of Entolimod increases survivability 300% -In June of 2012, the company announced survival results for its randomized, blind, placebo-controlled, efficacy study of Entolimod in 179 rhesus macaques. The animals had a survival rate of nearly three times the control group after a single dose of the drug. The treatment followed exposure to a 70% lethal dose of total body irradiation.
Also interesting to note that given no dose of Entolimod, the survival rate is 27.5% with survivability improving quickly to the 70-75% range with a single dose. This shows that the drug is having an effect and that it is not just random occurrence.CBLI stated in its June 2012 BioDefense update that Entolimod demonstrated increased survivability in animal models exposed to lethal radiation:
•3x survival of irradiated NHPs (Non-Human Primates)
•Significantly reduces incapacitation of survivors
•Reduces radiological damage in both HP and GI (gastrointestinal tract) systems
•Single intramuscular injection with broad application time window
• From prior (24 hr) to & post (>48 hr) exposure
•Completed two Phase I safety trials in total of 150 healthy volunteers
•cGMP drug product demonstrated stability at -20C for at least 4 years
Reviewing this, it is evident that Entolimod has a long storage life which is good if your going to stockpile and store the drug.
Timeline to Approval
It is going to take a lot of testing, time, funding and approval by the FDA before we see the drug released. The company is working towards the pivotal phase and has recently made progress towards this. Orphand drug status and Fast track status have been granted to Cleveland and should help towards speeding up the process by about 6 months. Per Cleveland:
CBLB502 (aka Entolimod) has been granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug status by the FDA. Due to the Fast Track designation of CBLB502, we are eligible to engage in early communications with the FDA and our BLA filing will be eligible for priority review, which could result in an abbreviated review time of six months. Due to the Orphan Drug designation, we may be eligible for a period of product exclusivity following approval of our BLA filing by the FDA.
