Dendreon Completes Submission of Biologics License Application for PROVENGE
SEATTLE (November 2, 2009) - Dendreon Corporation (Nasdaq: DNDN) today announced that it has completed the submission of the amended Biologics License Application (BLA) for PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T), the Company's lead investigational product, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dendreon is seeking licensure for PROVENGE for men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). If approved by the FDA, PROVENGE would represent the first product in the new therapeutic class known as active cellular immunotherapies.
The amended BLA includes data from the IMPACT (IMmunotherapy for Prostate AdenoCarcinoma Treatment) trial, which was conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the FDA. The IMPACT study met its pre-specified primary endpoint demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in overall survival in men with metastatic CRPC.
"With the BLA submission complete, we have taken an important step towards reaching our goal of bringing a new therapy to men with advanced prostate cancer," said Mitchell H. Gold, MD, president and chief executive officer of Dendreon. "We look forward to working with the FDA to potentially make PROVENGE the first active cellular immunotherapy to be licensed in the United States."
PROVENGE is available through several ongoing clinical trials, including OpenACT, an open label trial enrolling men with metastatic CRPC, ProACT (PROstate cancer Active Cellular immunoTherapy), and NeoACT (NEOadjuvant Active Cellular immunotherapy). For more information regarding these studies, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About PROVENGE
PROVENGE is Dendreon's investigational product candidate for men with advanced prostate cancer and may represent the first in a new class of active cellular immunotherapies (ACIs) specifically designed to engage the patient's own immune system against cancer. PROVENGE and other ACIs are uniquely designed to use live human cells to engage the patient's own immune system with the goal of eliciting a specific long-lasting response against cancer.

More than one million men in the United States have prostate cancer. An estimated 192,280 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2009. Approximately 27,360 men are expected to die this year from the disease.

21266 Ja HYA den takker jeg dig for,
- selv om det var lidt sent, jeg fik øje på substansen i dine gode råd her
Min GEN-udveksler aktie.
Jeg er mere sikker på denne end på GEN.
- selv om det var lidt sent, jeg fik øje på substansen i dine gode råd her
Min GEN-udveksler aktie.
Jeg er mere sikker på denne end på GEN.
Aktien har ligget været i langvarig optrend siden 14. april hvor den steg kraftigt af årsager jeg ikke har dykket ned i. Den 14. april lukkede aktien således i kurs 16.99 og er efterfølgende steget langsomt men sikkert til kurs 28.61 som den lukkede i her den 6. november. På den mere korte bane ligger aktien og handler mellem ca. 26 og 30. Det bliver derfor spændende og se hvornår aktien formår at bryde opover 30 og fortsætte stigningerne.
Rent teknisk er aktien i køb udfra Parabolsk SAR, MACD, Stochastic Oscillator og MA20 ligger over MA50 samtidig med at kursen handler over begge glidende gennemsnit. Har vedhæftet en kursgraf på dagsniveau.

11/11 2009 18:01 fistandanti 021695 Mon ikke modstanden ved 30 brydes når DNDN får offentliggjort en partner til lanceringen af Provenge på det euroæpiske markedet, hvilket flere analytikerne venter på.
Overtagelsesrygter holder en hånd under kursen - positiv hype nyder DNDN godt af i øjeblikket modsat gen. Men man skal ikke lang tid tilbage før majoriteten af analytikerene var skeptiske overfor DNDN, en gik hvis så vidt at ændre sit kurstarget fra 2 dollars til 32 !! Det kan man så reflektere lidt over i disse tider hvor analysehuse sabler gens kurs ned.
Ps : Den voldsomme kursstigning tilbage i april skyldtes positive fase 3 resultater for deres cancervaccine Provenge.

Jeg frygtede i går sent, at et kursfald kunne være reaktionen på emissionsbehovet. Selvom det går til udgifter med fabrik og produktion.
Har derfor idag valgt at nedbringe og ser frem til kursen de kommende dage og uger.
nye aktier 15 mio + ekstra 2,25
I dag vist ca 115 mio ?

7/1 2010 15:30 fistandanti 024229 DNDN har lagt godt ud i år med stigning over 10% - spændende at følge om den lukker over de 30 denne gang.
At tænke sig at den var i 2-4 dollar for mindre end et år siden....

Burde måske tage lidt profit nu, men jeg kan ikke lade være med at vente lidt endnu...
