About Medgenics
Medgenics is developing and commercializing Biopump, a
proprietary tissue-based platform technology for the sustained
production and delivery of therapeutic proteins using the patient's
own skin biopsy for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases
including anemia, hepatitis C and hemophilia. Medgenics believes
this approach has multiple benefits compared with current
treatments, which include regular and costly injections of
therapeutic proteins.
Medgenics has three long-acting protein therapy products in
development based on this technology:
-- EPODURE (now completing a Phase I/II dose-ranging trial) to
produce and deliver erythropoietin for many months from a single
administration, has demonstrated elevation and stabilization of
hemoglobin levels in anemic patients for 6 to more than 24
months;
-- INFRADURE (planning to commence a Phase I/II trial in Israel
in 1H12) to produce a sustained therapeutic dose of
interferon-alpha for use in the treatment of hepatitis C;
-- HEMODURE is a sustained Factor VIII therapy for the
prophylactic treatment of hemophilia, now in development.
Medgenics intends to develop its innovative products and bring
them to market via strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical
and/or medical device companies. Since October 2009, HEMODURE has
been the focus of cooperation between Medgenics and a major
healthcare company, a market leader in hemophilia.
In addition to treatments for anemia, hepatitis C and
hemophilia, Medgenics plans to develop and/or out-license a
pipeline of future Biopump products targeting the large and rapidly
growing global protein therapy market, which is forecast to reach
$132 billion in 2013. Other potential applications for Biopumps
include multiple sclerosis, arthritis, pediatric growth hormone
deficiency, obesity and diabetes.
