Biomira Inc. announces amendment to licensing agreement for BLP25 Liposome Vaccine
Merck to Commence Phase 3 Clinical Trial of L-BLP25 in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Mid 2006 Merck to Assume Development Costs and Pay Royalties to Biomira
1/26/2006 8:00:34 AM
EDMONTON, Jan 26, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Biomira Inc. (BIOM) (CA:BRA) today announced the signing of a letter of intent to amend the licensing agreement between Biomira B.V. and Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany for BLP25 Liposome Vaccine (L-BLP25), currently in development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Under the letter of intent, approved by the Boards of both Companies, Merck KGaA will take over administrative and financial responsibility for the development and commercialization of L-BLP25, including the planned phase 3 trial in NSCLC, which remains on schedule with the enrolment of the first patient expected in mid 2006. Merck also plans to investigate the use of L-BLP25 to treat other types of cancer. All future development, regulatory, commercialization and marketing costs for L-BLP25 (including the planned phase 3 trial, but excluding the Canadian territory) will be borne exclusively by Merck KGaA effective March 1, 2006.
In return, Biomira's co-promotion interest in U.S. sales will be converted to a specified royalty rate, which will be higher than what Merck has agreed to pay on its sales of L-BLP25 in all markets outside of North America or the Rest of World (ROW). The royalty and other arrangements with respect to the ROW will remain generally unchanged (Merck KGaA to assume a specified third party royalty obligation on behalf of Biomira). Similarly, the milestone payments to be made by Merck KGaA pursuant to the collaboration will remain essentially the same. The agreed upon royalty rate for the U.S. territory reflects the stage and promise of L-BLP25.
Biomira will retain responsibility for manufacturing L-BLP25, both for clinical trials and following any marketing approval. The existing arrangements for Canada remain in place with Biomira responsible for the Canadian territory.
Dr. Alex McPherson, President and CEO of Biomira Inc., commented, "This is an excellent agreement and will ensure the fastest possible initiation of the phase 3 program in NSCLC as well as the possibility of exploring L-BLP25's potential in other forms of cancer. We are delighted by the strong and continued commitment that Merck has shown to this innovative and promising product. Merck's decision to take over the full cost of the trials will enable Biomira to focus our efforts and resources on our follow-on cancer vaccine, BGLP40, and on building our pipeline by acquiring new products."
"Merck is pleased that it has the opportunity to develop what appears to be a very promising treatment for NSCLC, which is one of the most prevalent and deadly of all cancers," said Elmar Schnee, Merck Deputy Executive Board Member with responsibility for Pharmaceuticals. "We believe this new agreement is not only beneficial for both companies but also for patients."
About L-BLP25
L-BLP25 is a synthetic MUC1 peptide vaccine and is a biological response modifier with a chemically synthesized peptide of a cancer-associated protein antigen widely expressed on common cancers. It is designed to induce an immune response to both the synthetic antigen and the natural corresponding antigen as expressed on the cancer. In October 2005 Biomira announced that median survival for patients with Stage IIIB locoregional NSCLC who received L-BLP25 in a phase 2b study had been determined. These results demonstrated an average survival of 30.6 months in the vaccinated group compared with 13.3 months for the unvaccinated group. A more comprehensive analysis of these data is expected in the first quarter of this year. In November 2005 Biomira announced the interim results of a phase 2 NSCLC single-arm, multi-centre, open label study of L-BLP25. The results showed that the new formulation of the vaccine to be used in the phase 3 clinical trial program is not different from the previous formulation from a safety perspective.
The reformulated vaccine incorporated manufacturing changes intended to secure the future commercial supply of the vaccine. Thus far, ongoing testing has demonstrated that the steps taken to address the manufacturing issue discovered in late 2005 have been successful. Pending completion of this testing, it is expected that manufacturing for the phase 3 trial will resume in the first quarter of this year.

AN “EXPERT” HAS HIS SAY
Howard mentioned that television stations picked up The Post article, but that the subsequent stories got morphed into something that was even more untrue than the original report. Howard explained that Fox News, for example, even ran stories yesterday that he’s on the verge of leaving SIRIUS because of the alleged restrictions. To add insult to injury, Howard announced that Neil Cavuto, who hosts a show on Fox, had “Howard Stern expert” Chaunce Hayden on his show. Before he got to the clip, Howard pointed out that Hayden is no more an expert on him than any other of his listeners and has never been affiliated with the show in any way. In fact, Howard added that he hasn’t allowed Hayden to even be on the show for over a year because he can no longer trust him.
In the report, Hayden claimed that, for a year SIRIUS executives “got them all into a room” and promised that there’d be “no commercials” as well as no restrictions on what Howard could say, adding that the news of censorship has caused him to feel “scammed.” Hayden went on to say that, not only does SIRIUS need to start attracting big corporate advertisers in order to make a profit, but also that Howard is doing his show for the money.
Howard commented that not only did no one ever claim there would be no commercials on his show, but also if Hayden’s claim about Howard being in this for the money was true, he would’ve never gotten into the radio business in the first place. Howard added that he could’ve comfortably retired after his Infinity contract expired in December, but that he didn’t do so because of his passion for his work. When Hayden next said that “the fist in the air, free speech, uncensored radio” that has been promoted by SIRIUS is “a big load of bull,” Robin commented that she thought Hayden sounded as though he was hurt that Howard decided to not let him on the show anymore and was, therefore, taking shots at him.
IT’S STILL NOT TRUE
Howard began the show noting, once again, that he’s had no conversations with SIRIUS executives about the potential of censoring the show and that yesterday’s front page story in The New York Post was “100 percent false.” Howard then mentioned that he has a delay button at his disposal, as was reported in the article, but that he’s the only one who has access to it. Howard added that he was the one who requested the button be at his disposal and that he will use it solely for purposes of editing out possibly libelous or slanderous statements made on the show.
STILL MAKING THE FRONT PAGE
Howard began the show noting that, when he signed on with SIRIUS, he thought he’d be able to keep a low profile. However, Howard added that hasn’t been the case and announced that he’s on the front page of today’s New York Post. Howard explained that The Post story, which claims that SIRIUS is set to place restrictions on the show, was way off and that the publicity will only lead to more subscribers for SIRIUS. Howard went on to say that he’s known all along that some boundaries exist even on satellite, but that no additional restrictions will be taking place. Howard then reported that television stations have already picked up the article and proceeded to play some clips that aired by 6 a.m. this morning. After the clips, Howard again mentioned that he thought he’d disappear when he left regular radio, but that, thanks to stories like today’s article in The Post, people will wonder more than ever what he’s doing at his new home – and he thanked the press for that.
STERN SHOW TO BE CENSORED?
Howard has landed on the cover of this morning’s NY Post, with rumors that Sirius is developing an internal standards and practices team to monitor Howard’s new show. Is it true or is tabloid journalism? Howard 100’s Steve Langford investigates.

OTHER Satellite Radio NEWS:
Ondas Media CEO Targets Profitability In Less Than Three Years
Monday , January 23, 2006 17:59 ET
Jan 23, 2006 (Satellite News/Access Intelligence via COMTEX) -- While the service will not begin until the end of the decade, Ondas Media CEO Celso Azevedo thinks his satellite radio company will have as big an impact in Europe as XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio have had in the United States, due in large part to lessons learned from the launch of the U.S. companies.
Ondas plans to launch satellite radio/media services in 2009 with more than 150 channels of music, sports, news and entertainment, as well as digital telematics and data services across Europe.
Ondas needs about 3 million subscribers, paying an average of 12 euros ($14.50) per month to become cashflow positive, Azevedo, a founder of SES Astra, told Satellite New. "We think it will take two to three years to gain 3 million subscribers. After 2012, it will be a cash cow. Just do the math."
Ondas also has the support of Delphi Corp., a supplier of XM radios, which announced earlier this month that it will become a strategic investor and technology provider to Ondas, as well as provide input into the company's business and technology strategies.
Will Europeans Embrace Satellite Radio?
Azevedo thinks the size of the European market will make his 3 million subscriber target easier to reach when compared to the struggles that Sirius and XM had during their startups. "There are 600 million people in Europe in our coverage, which is more than double the U.S. population," he said. "We have about 200 million households, which is double the number of households in the U.S. We have approximately the same number of vehicles than they have in the U.S. We have the same number of new vehicles sold every year."
The question is whether this wealth of European consumers will embrace satellite services as much as their U.S. counterparts. It could be argued that the dynamics for satellite radio are more favorable in the United States than in Europe where public transporation still is more widely used. However, Azevedo, understandably, does not buy into this argument. "There is no choice in Europe," he said. "People in Europe say 'Europe is much better than the U.S. There is not so much fade. There is good choice.' People don't know what they don't have. I drive a lot in the U.K. I go to see my son twice a month. I drive an hour to go and see him in the south of England. I have exactly the same problems that I do in the U.S. I have no more than eight different channels. If I want to listen to classical music, I will find one station and that is it. I will also lose stations."
Azevedo thinks demand for satellite radio will be strongest in the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as well as in Eastern Europe. "People there are very thirsty for entertainment and media," he said. "In Germany, you have a great number of luxury cars and the high-end market for cars. But it is not just about the high-end of the market. In the U.S., you have Hyundai with 100 percent of their models built in with XM Radio."
However, with each market in Europe having its own set of dynamics, satellite radio could find more success in some countries than in others. Azevedo admits when he was at SES Astra, they were surprised where television services took off in some countries. "We found out to our surprise that our third largest market was Poland," he said. "This was completely unexpected. The first market was Germany and the second was the U.K. Poland was third and is still third. Why was it third? Well, they still have no choice in their countries for television. They spoke German. They wanted to receive German TV, and once we started transmitting German TV channels, this thing in Poland went like fire up the hill. Everyone wanted to have it. The number of dishes in Poland multiplied like mushrooms."
Content Strategy
Ondas plans to produce as much of its own content as it can, because it "is not as expensive" to produce radio content as TV content, Azevedo said. "If you visit XM or Sirius to see how many studios that they have, their whole headquarters in Washington, they even have their own artists who work directly for them," he said. "We want to do the same. We feel as though we have to own content. That is the name of the game. Having said that, we are also going to transmit like XM and Sirius, too. They have the audio of TV channels like CNN and Fox News, CNBC. That is something that is pretty attractive, too. Our music content will have no advertising. It will be commercial free and that is a tremendous value to the customers."
In fact, when you talk to Azevedo, it seems Ondas aims to follow the lead of Sirius and XM Radio in many facets of operations.
"Portables will be very important," he said. "One difference is that in the U.S., the two companies had to do pioneering work of launching these things. They had to convince the automobile manufacturers to put these things in their cars. Very few models had them in day one. Today, there are more than 100 models built in the U.S. that have the radio built in. We are going to take advantage of the fact that XM and Sirius have already pioneered this work. We expect when we launch there will be many more models built in the factory."
Ondas already has been working with car manufacturers. "We are not asking them to make an investment in the company like what happened in the U.S. They are building cars in Europe, and shipping them to the U.S with radio built in. What we are mostly doing now is program work, with our technical guys and the OEMs to have their models ready at the end of 2009 when we launch."
Regulatory and Financial Hurdles
Many challenges remain for Ondas before its planned launch., as the company needs to raise a significant amount of money for the project and obtain regulatory permissions to operate in multiple countries with different requirements.
"The regulatory situation is that you have to apply through an administration of a country for the spectrum from the ITU. We are doing that through the Ministry in Spain," he said. "We are very happy we have their support in this area. So, Spain is getting our spectrum filed for in the ITU international regulatory process. Apart from that, we are going to have work in some countries more than other in terms of the regulatory and media aspects. We will probably have to produce content in those countries rather than produce content from one place."
Ondas will also need to install terrestrial repeaters across the continent, which will require additional national regulatory approval because of the use of terrestrial frequencies. "We plan to team up with companies that already have terrestrial services and towers," Azevedo said. "We are already having conversations with some of them, in the most important countries in Europe. That is our plan to work with them. They have frequencies, towers, buildings, water and electricity, maintenance technicians and all that. All we have to do is provide them with the electronics and have an agreement with them."
Delphi Provides Money, Experience
Launching a pan-European satellite radio company will take billions of dollars and more financing will need to be raised. "The capital to cashflow is over 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion)," Azevedo said. "A great part of that is the build-up of the infrastructure, the space segment, a few terrestrial repeaters, and the operating costs until we are cashflow positive. The major challenges are, we have a lot of financing to raise. But, the good news is there is a lot of money out there looking for good projects. So, that is a major challenge for us. I have been in companies before where we have raised billions of euros/dollars and it was not easy."
For Delphi, the investment is Ondas is a significant departure from its U.S. satellite radio business, where the company's role is limited to making equipment under licensing and manufacturing contracts with both XM and Sirius.
"We were not investors in either North American satellite radio company, but we were significant product and technology development partners," Bob Schumacher, general director of advanced product development and business strategy at Delphi Electronics & Safety, said. "We intend to do all of that and more with Ondas. We have invested in the company, and we will work closely with them to develop the overall satellite broadcast system with Delphi focusing primarily on the terminals, satellite receivers both for home office and cars."
Delphi plans to establish a satellite radio innovation center in Germany in 2006 to develop products. "We plan to be first to market in manufacturing" receivers, Schumacher said. "It is significant for us because we think there will be significant satellite radio market in Europe, and it is our intention to be a significant player in that market."
Schumacher believes the growth of satellite radio in Europe will rival that seen in the United States and that Delphi and Ondas will see mutual benefits from the partnership. "The significant thing is that we are a very large global corporation," he said. "We are the largest automotive supplier in the world. We have got very deep and strong marketing, sales distribution relationships with [original equipment manufacturers] all over the world, including Europe. We are also in the automotive aftermarket in Europe. Bringing on a partner like Delphi is a tremendous shot in the arm for Ondas since they can tap into the very extensive global resources at Delphi."
