Stemedica Medical Team Cautions Patients About Stem Cell Therapy & Comments on PLoS Medicine Article

Stemedica Medical Team Cautions Patients About Stem Cell Therapy & Comments on PLoS Medicine Article

Stemedica provides its observations and comments to the media regarding the PLoS Medicine article published online February 17, 2009. The PLoS Medicine article describes a patient who developed “brain tumors” (glioneuronal neoplasms) after undergoing repeated transplants of “fetal neural stem cells” in Russia starting in 2001.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 — Stemedica Cell Technologies (http://www.stemedica.com), Inc. (“Stemedica”) provided its observations and comments to the media regarding the PLoS Medicine article published online February 17, 2009. The PLoS Medicine article describes a patient who developed “brain tumors” (glioneuronal neoplasms) after undergoing repeated transplants of “fetal neural stem cells” in Russia starting in 2001.

“All of us at Stemedica would like to extend our condolences to the young patient involved in this situation and our hope is for a speedy and positive outcome to this unfortunate experience. Never before have we or any of our Principal Investigators ever encountered such an occurrence either in our own research or in any of the published research”, said Dr. David Howe, Stemedica’s Vice President and Medical Director.

“We want to use this unfortunate incident to warn those seeking stem cell therapy abroad,” warns Dr. Nikolai Tankovich, President & Chief Medical Officer of Stemedica, “to make certain that the manufacturer of the stem cells used in transplantation comply with the rigid standards that have been established by the FDA and other Internationally-recognized regulatory agencies. The future of this industry and the safety of all future patients depend on such adherence.” FDA Compliance and Surveillance Standards can be referenced by visiting www.fda.gov/cber/compliance.htm (http://www.fda.gov/cber/compliance.htm).

The report in PLoS, Donor-Derived Brain Tumor Following Neural Stem Cell Transplantation in an Ataxia Telangiectasia Patient (http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.1000029), describes the development of multifocal glioneuronal neoplasms along the spinal nerves and brain stem in a 13-year-old patient who underwent repeated transplantation procedures in an attempt to treat ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder known to have an increased risk of developing cancer.

Malignancy and neoplasia are common in A-T secondary to deficient cellular and humoral immunity. This immune deficiency is a contra-indication to stem cell transplant therapy. In addition, the mutations associated with A-T in the A-T mutation gene lead to mutations in nuclear protein, which normally repairs DNA. This loss of DNA repair combined with immune deficiency in A-T increases risk of neoplasia with and without cellular transplant therapy in A-T.

“Due to age, children and adolescents have significantly increased quantities of growth factors. Adding stem cells, known for their growth factor production capabilities, to a child with this presenting condition may have been a contributing factor. As in the administration of pharmaceuticals, many of which are not recommended for use in children and adolescents in the same way as in treating adults, great care must be taken in using stem cell therapy with this population of patients”, said Dr. Michael Bayer, Stemedica’s Director of Medical Services.

Based on the facts and references cited within the PLoS Medicine article, researchers have discovered that some of the cells were female and had two copies of the gene that causes A-T. Karyotype testing was reported in this case which confirms inadequate testing of the stem cells prior to transplantation. “The stem cell preparation protocol provided to the parents by the treatment team was reviewed and found to be inadequate by our standards”, said Dr. Howe. “No cell characteristics, cell markers or bio-safety data was present. Mechanical desegregation in the 8-12 week age fetus is not recommended. Enzymatic separation is preferred, a process that also removes any dead cells that may be present. There is also a significant lack of detail on the number of cell passages as well as the dispersion of the neurospheres”, Dr. Howe went on to say.

Dr. Alex Kharazi, Stemedica’s Vice President for Manufacturing & Research observed, “Limited cell culturing in only 12-16 days as described in their protocol is like using a crude primary culture of cells. There are numerous risks associated with using crude cell preparations that have not been subjected to rigid manufacturing and testing protocols such as purity, identity and potency. In addition, the antibiotics used to manufacture the stem cells, are potentially neurotoxic.” Dr. Kharazi went on to say, “Overall the description provided for the manufacturing protocol was vague and a poor example of what a well thought out manufacturing and safety-driven process should be. For example, there was no data provided relating to tumorgenicity, toxicity, or bio-distribution testing of the manufactured cells in nude mice which is a mandatory requirement as a first and critical step to assessing cell safety.”

“Stemedica is committed to a manufacturing process that puts safety first at all times. Our stem cell product lines go through extensive testing during several stages of the manufacturing process and are also subjected to in-depth pre-clinical studies before filing with the FDA and other regulatory agencies for clinical trials”, continued Dr. Kharazi. “Nothing is more important than the welfare of the patient and there is no explanation that can justify any deviance from compliance to FDA guidelines for the manufacturing and testing of stem cells prior to administration. These are the guidelines we follow and any patient considering stem cell therapy, at any location worldwide, should confirm that the manufacturer is in full compliance before they decide to undergo stem cell transplantation.” warns Dr. Kharazi.

About Stemedica Technologies, Inc.

Stemedica Cell Technologies Inc. (http://www.stemedica.com (http://www.stemedica.com)) is a specialty biopharmaceutical company that is committed to the development and manufacture of best-in-class adult stem cells for use by approved research institutions and hospitals for pre-clinical and clinical studies.

The software is intuitive and easy-to-use, enabling users to focus on diagnosis and treatment. The application includes an implant planning/simulation module and implant library, and will be compatible with third-party implant planning applications. Image output occurs in DICOM formats, supporting flexible output options including printing and customizable report templates.

By maximizing ease-of-use and patient comfort, users can get a high-quality 3D image with the first take.

Anatomical Programs Optimize Patient Care, Safety

The KODAK 9500 3D System captures dual jaw (9 cm x 15 cm) or all dento-maxillofacial anatomy (18.4 cm x 20.6 cm) in one acquisition for a wide range of clinical applications. With the additional ability to control patient dose through variable settings of mA and kV, dental professionals can manage the patient dose by focusing on their immediate clinical needs. This enables users to maximize image detail required for the specific application while managing patient dose.

Easyspace Launch ‘Indefinite Reduction’ on Domain Names

Easyspace Launch ‘Indefinite Reduction’ on Domain Names

More than 30 extensions now available at lower cost.

Glasgow, Lanarkshire (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 — Easyspace, one of the largest web hosting and domain name providers in the UK, has launched an Indefinite Reduction across the majority of domain name (http://www.easyspace.com/domain_names) extensions offered on the Easyspace.com website.

The Indefinite Reduction applies to more than 30 domain extensions, including some of the most popular currently available such as .com, .co.uk, .net, .org, .mobi and .eu.

The Easyspace domain registration (http://www.easyspace.com/domain_names) tools have always been known for their flexibility, offering a general search facility as well as a keyword search tool and a domain auction search tool where you can find domains being sold privately from around the world.

Now, with a lower cost attached to this flexibility, domains quite literally have never been easier to search for and register.

“Price changing is always a sensitive issue but taking account of the current climate and considering the loyalty we have from our customer base, we felt the time was right to expand what used to be a monthly offer on a single extension to an indefinite reduction across more than 30 extensions.” commented Errol Vanderhorst, Sales and Marketing Director for Easyspace.

“Customer no longer need to worry about adding extra extensions to their portfolios because the cost of doing is now cheaper.”

The domain reduction comes quick after the recent launch of the highly anticipated .tel domain extension, with Easyspace being one of the few UK companies offering it during its Landrush period.
