Genta Announces Allowance of Two Key European Patents for Genasense®
Genta's patent estate related to Genasense is extensive, we have detailed plans for securing rapid approval in Europe with positive data this Fall," said Dr. Raymond P. Warrell, Jr., Genta's Chief Executive Officer. "The majority of patients enrolled into the AGENDA trial, a Phase 3 trial of Genasense in melanoma that completed accrual earlier this month, originated from Europe. The extended market protection offered by these patents comes at an especially favorable time in the product's lifecycle."
Key words Detailed Plans for Securing & RAPID APPROVAL in EUROPE. Folks way before we get FDA aprroval we will be STEAMROLLING through Europe :)

Genasense® Combined with Temodar® and Abraxane® Shows Preliminary Evidence of High Response Rates and Extended Survival in Patients with Advanced Melanoma
Based on preclinical evidence of synergy, Genasense was combined with temozolomide (Temodar®; Schering Plough, Inc.), the most commonly used anticancer drug for melanoma, plus ABRAXANE® for Injectable Suspension (paclitaxel protein-bound particles for injectable suspension) [albumen bound]; Abraxis Bioscience, Inc.).
To date, 7 patients (39%) have achieved major objective responses: one with complete response (CR) after 6 cycles of treatment, and 6 with at least a partial response after a minimum of 2 treatment cycles. Five patients have maintained stable disease (SD) after at least 3 treatment cycles (24 weeks), for an overall disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) of 68%. The most commonly observed side-effects were similar to those associated with the chemotherapy drugs used alone, including leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, neuropathy, and hair loss.
The main thing to look at here is NO ADDITIONAL SIDE EFFECTS, Just the Standard reg CHEMO side effects
I may sound like Gary here, But it looks like the DRUG WORKS LOL
Have a great afternoon
Best Regards Smitter .... :)
