Hana Biosciences reports positive results from Phase II leukemia trialPosted on: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:29:00 EST

Dec 11, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
HNAB | Quote | HNAB | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating");">Chart | News | PowerRating -- Hana Biosciences has reported positive data from its pivotal Phase II rALLy clinical trial for Marqibo for the treatment of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL, in second relapse.

 

Results from the rALLy trial demonstrated compelling evidence of single-agent, anti-leukemic activity in a relapsed/refractory, heavily pre-treated, adult population of ALL patients, with a universal history of prior exposure to the standard formulation of vincristine sulfate, said Hana.

The analysis of the first 56 evaluable subjects demonstrated an overall response in 36% of the subjects and a complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery in 21% of the subjects. The estimated median overall survival in complete responders was 7.3 months.

A total of 50% of the complete responders were able to receive a potentially life-saving stem cell transplant. Approximately 50% of the complete responders had remission durations longer than the duration of their prior remission. In addition, Marqibo was generally well-tolerated with a low incidence of early death.

Final data on all 65 subjects enrolled and dosed in the Phase II rALLy trial will be presented in 2010.

Anne Hagey, chief medical officer of Hana Biosciences, said: "We are excited by the rALLy trial results for Marqibo in adult ALL that demonstrate an ability to induce meaningful remissions in patients without approved treatment options. Based on the rALLy trial data, other published Marqibo data in adult ALL, and supportive data in lymphomas and solid tumors, we plan to submit a new drug application seeking accelerated approval for Marqibo in 2010."

Hana Biosciences (OTC:HNAB) set for a comeback

Written by R. Saito   
Thursday, 21 January 2010 10:27

It looks like the perfect storm is now brewing for Hana Biosciences (OTC:HNAB). In December, this penny bio stock took a major hit for no reason other than an impatient investor sell off.
Going into what should be a very positive year with a new drug application (NDA) filing for their drug Marquibo after successful trial results, this stock is prime for some major movement in the near future; first a reset to the 60-80 cent level, then a move higher as the NDA is filed. 

The December publication of results from the rALLy trial in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second relapse shows that the drug was highly efficient as a single-agent in a very sick patient population who have few other options. There are no safety concerns beyond what is expected for this type of drug. The FDA has a history of approving ALL treatments based on phase II single-arm clinical trials, and Hana intents

to use the results of the rALLy trial in their NDA filing later on this year.  

 approvals have already been given for the drugs Clolar and Arranon for other ALL indications based on single-arm phase II studies. The company released a corporate presentation last week, the presentation can be found here. 

Marquibo is a new form of a trusted cancer drug, vincristine sulfate, in a liposome delivery vehicle. This delivery mechanism enables higher doses of the drug to be used while reducing the side effects. In the long run, Hana hopes to replace the use of generic vincristine with Marquibo in the R-CHOP leukemia treatment regimen across the board, a predicted market potential of $2.5B annually. 

The 2nd relapsed adult ALL market alone is $100M with 65% penetration, see the company&#39;s slide number 23. The choice of second relapse adult ALL is a good strategy to enter the market. The drug was previously scrutinized by the FDA&#39;s oncology drug advisory committee in December of 2004 for another indication,aggressive non-Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma previously treated with at least two combination chemotherapy regimens. At the time, the drug was owned by Inex Pharmacuticals. The NDA in 2004 was also based on phase II clinical trials, and although it showed equivalence, it did not show superiority to other current treatments - Inex had chosen the wrong pathway for approval. 

It is important to note that the committee members were otherwise very positive to the drug and no safety questions were raised. This time around, the rALLy trial has shown a major advantage to the patients over historical data, and the primary investigator for the rALLy trial is none other than Dr. Susan O&#39;Brien, a leading expert on leukemia treatment with strong clinical trial experience.

For those who enjoy reading stock charts, the consensus is that HNAB is currently due for a major reset, unrelated to other upcoming events. 

It is rare to come across a biopharma stock with upcoming drug submissions and a perfect chart situation, this is the first in some time. 

The company has cash to last until the NDA submission, and more on tap through Deerfield Management, who has a seat on the board of directors. Some minor dilution is expected as we move forward, but this is still a company with a low float, currently at only 92 million shares outstanding with a float of 81 million shares.

Trade updates on NewCardio, Inc (OTC:NWCI) , NeoStem (Amex: NBS), Hana Biosciences (OTC:HNAB), CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR) 

In short, some people are feeling a bit edgy about so much of the red that has filled ther trading screens, following the worst two-day stretch the market has seen since June.

President Obama caused some of that when he asked Congress for limits on how large big banks can grow to become and to end some of the risky trading large financial companies have used in recent quarters to boost profits. As we saw during the banking crisis, whether we like it or not, the market goes as the banks go. Big money has big influence and if big money isn&#39;t happy, the market&#39;s going to suffer.

That being said, careful analysis (both technical and fundamental) as well as careful research into forward looking and breaking news events will continue to help us guide our subscribers and readers to make better decisions. For example, even as the rest of the market imploded yesterday, our subscriber alert and article about Hana Biosciences (HNAB) brought so much volume and attention to the stock, that the price went from a day low of $.195 to a high of $.28. In addition, HNAB&#39;s chart still looks strong and possibly ready to run more. If you like bottom rebound plays like that, you&#39;ll definitely be interested in the one we&#39;re currently researching and will be posting for subscribers today, shortly after the market opens. Everyone else will see it an hour or two later.

NeoStem (NBS), who we spotlighted with a CEO interview this week went from $1.72 to $2.07 before investors were spooked by the company&#39;s new Securities Registration Statement filing (Form Type: S-1/A)- which appeared just as we were publishing our interview with Robin L. Smith M.D., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The stock has pulled back a bit and closed at $1.76 yesterday, but that&#39;s only because investors may be mis-reading the filing. Let me assure you of one thing. NeoStem is going places now that they&#39;ve acquired a controlling interest in China based Suzhou Erye Pharmaceuticals Company Ltd. They have now transitioned into a multi-dimensional international biopharmaceutical company that will be doing some incredibly interesting things to not only help develop their science in a country that is much more receptive to open stem cell research, but they&#39;ll also be leveraging that pharmaceutical company&#39;s income and distribution resources to generate even more revenue and value for their shareholders. That filing, upon closer inspection, leads me to believe that big news is coming followed by some form of dilution that, in short order, will be absorbed and result in a higher share price as the company moves forward on multiple fronts. Let&#39;s not forget that there was some interesting insider buying recently and that the promise of their VSEL (very small embryonic-like) stem cell technology, which is what got most investors into NBS to begin with.

I&#39;ve received more email about NewCardio, Inc (NWCI) than any other company the last two days. The stock went crazy after I revealed news of a possible buy-out. Then it pulled back the last two days, causing many to get nervous. I&#39;m going to stand by my initial report and add the following: It now looks like there may be at least two interested partners/deals in the works. If my sources are correct, and for the record these are not public relations people or stock pumpers, then this undervalued play could become a big story not only in the short term, but a very solid winner for the long haul as well. I&#39;m not hyping or sticking my neck out for this, folks. I&#39;m simply reporting what I am hearing. How does a move to a bigger exchange sound? That could also be in play here, but revealing too many details could expose my sources or theirs, so I&#39;ll stop here. Instead, I&#39;ll I refer you to this article and to this one. Remember, these types of deals don&#39;t happen overnight. Patience is always key. By the same token, remember that one of the shoes can drop at any moment, so be ready. For those who think this is some sort of pump and dump scheme on my part, know this: I&#39;m still long and own every single one of my original shares and if it pulls back, I&#39;ll pick up even more. I suggest you do your own due diligence here. Rumor plays are always risky, but do offer high rewards.

Finally, if you missed the press release about CytRx Corporation (CYTR) yesterday, you may want to read it. I&#39;d like you to consider and compare what they&#39;ve started to reveal publicly as a company against what I said in my articles about them late last year (I felt this was a $10+ stock by the fourth quarter of 2010 when i wrote that). Is it me or does everything appear to be on track over there? Hope you all have a great weekend!

Immerhin steht das Statement, MARQIBO noch in 2010 zur Zulassung als Medikation gegen rALL ( rückfällige adulte lymphoblastische Leukämie ) zu bringen. Sollte dies gelingen, wird eine Markteinführung SEHR kurzfristig erfolgen können, da die NDA bereits "Fast Track Status" erteilt hat. Dem Kursverfall nach zu urteilen, ist Hana "tot", meines Erachtens ein ungerechtfertigtes Urteil, da die alles entscheidende multinationale "rALLy"-Studie bisher durchweg positive Ergebnisse produziert hat und nun alles von der Datenaufbereitung und Beurteilung durch die Zulassungsbehörde abhängen wird. Einem Venture Capital-investor waren die Chancen der "Optisome"-Technologie ( bereits zugelassene Wirkstoffe in neuer Dareichungsform, nämlich eingeschlossen in winzigen Lipidkügelchen, um bei gleicher Dosierung die Nebenwirkungen zu verringern bzw. bei gleichen Nebenwirkungen mehr Wirkstoff anzubringen ) immerhin 30 Millionen Dollar Kredit wird. Auch der eine oder andere durchaus namhafte Mediziner entert von Zeit zu Zeit das Board of Directors der kleinen, nichtsdestoweniger hoffnungsvollen Drugmaker-Klitsche aus Nordkalifornien. Ich hab vor einiger Zeit eine fünfstellige Aktienanzahl zum Junk-Bond-Preis gebunkert und lasse ganz entspannt das Jahr vorübergehen. Nach hart erkämpften Gewinnen mit AIG, MGM und ähnlichen Killer-Aktien mal ne gaaaanz relaxte Sache. Das sich in den einschlägigen Foren ( noch ) nichts regt, halte ich übrigens für ein gutes Zeiten. Wenn der "Aktionär" und ähnliche A(...) HNAB empfehlen würden, wäre ich deutlicher skeptischer ;-))

Einige Aussagen zur rALLY-Studie ( relapsed Adult Lymphoblastic Leukemia ):

Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg:

"Vincristine verursacht Nervenschädigungen, Marqibo nicht."

University of Texas:

"One hundred and nineteen patients were enrolled and treated on trial. Ninety-six had histological confirmed de novo (N = 89) or transformed (N = 7) aggressive NHL. Median number of cycles was 4 (median dose/cycle 4 mg). Overall response (CR and complete response unconfirmed and PR) was 25% (95% confidence interval [CI], 17, 35), CR and complete response unconfirmed confirmed by external reviewers was 5%. Median overall survival was 6.6 months (Kaplan-Meier estimate, 95% CI, 4.7, 9.8). Grade 3 of 4 neurotoxicity occurred in 32% of patients. All patients had prior neurotoxic agents, and 85% had baseline residual neuropathy symptoms (grades 1-2) from prior treatment.
CONCLUSIONS:
Marqibo is an active agent in patients with heavily pretreated aggressive NHL, and tolerated at approximately twice the dose intensity of standard vincristine. Its activity supports further investigation as a substitution for vincristine in combination treatment of lymphoid disorders. Cancer 2009. © 2009 American Cancer Society."

Hana Biosciences Completes Pre-NDA Meeting With FDA for Marqibo in Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia



SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hana Biosciences (OTCBB:HNAB), a biopharmaceutical company focused on strengthening the foundation of cancer care, today announced that the Company has completed a pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) related to its lead product candidate, Marqibo for the treatment of relapsed/refractory adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed NDA and to confirm the clinical, non-clinical and manufacturing requirements for the NDA submission.

Following the pre-NDA meeting, Hana intends to proceed with its plan to submit a rolling NDA for Marqibo in relapsed/refractory adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL.

About Marqibo(R) (vincristine sulfate liposomes injection)

Marqibo is a novel, targeted, Optisome(TM) encapsulated formulation of vincristine sulfate, a widely-used chemotherapy, which has shown promising anti-cancer activity in patients with ALL, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and melanoma in several clinical trials. Marqibo is designed to enhance the penetration and concentration of vincristine sulfate at sites of active cancer and facilitate dose-intensification compared to standard vincristine formulations. Unlike standard vincristine, Marqibo is dosed based on actual patient body surface area without the need for dose-capping.

Hana Biosciences has received orphan drug and fast track designations for Marqibo for the treatment of adult ALL from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Marqibo has also received orphan drug designation in adult ALL from the European Medicines Evaluation Agency.

About Hana Biosciences

Hana Biosciences, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing new, differentiated cancer therapies designed to improve and enable current standards of care. The company's lead product candidate, Marqibo®, potentially treats acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphomas. The Company has additional pipeline opportunities, some of which, like Marqibo, improve delivery and enhance the therapeutic benefits of well characterized, proven chemotherapies and enable high potency dosing without increased toxicity.

Hana Biosciences, Inc. recently announced that it received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for U.S. Application No. 11/886,803, entitled "Vitamin K for Prevention and Treatment of Skin Rash Secondary to Anti-EGFR Therapy" (U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009/0209652 A1).  Skin rash is a painful and common side effect of all approved epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors (such as Tarceva®, Iressa®, Erbitux®, Vectibix®, and Tykerb®) that can limit treatment or make dose reduction necessary.  As its title suggests, the '803 application discloses treatment of EGFR-associated skin rash with vitamin K3 (also known as menadione), a provitamin precursor of vitamin K2.  Once issued, the patent will extend protection for this technology into 2026.  Corresponding foreign applications are pending in Australia, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea, and Hana reports that additional applications relating to the use of menadione have been filed.
The sole independent claim allowed in the '803 application reads:
1.  A method for treating a skin rash secondary to an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy in a subject receiving said therapy, the method comprising applying vitamin K3 to the skin in an amount effective to treat the skin rash.
A Phase I clinical study conducted by Hana demonstrated that a menadione topical lotion was generally well-tolerated, and that menadione was delivered into the skin without appreciable systemic absorption.  Recently, Hana completed enrollment for a proof-of-concept study of vitamin K3 lotion in cancer patients receiving EGFR inhibitor therapy; the company expects to present data from this study and initiate a Phase II trial by the end of 2010.

Hana Biosciences Reports First Quarter 2010 Financial Results



SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 14, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hana Biosciences Inc., (OTCBB:HNAB), a biopharmaceutical company focused on strengthening the foundation of cancer care, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, and provided a corporate update.

"During the first quarter of 2010, we continued our focus on the clinical and manufacturing development for Marqibo® in relapsed/refractory adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia," said Steven R. Deitcher, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Hana Biosciences. "We continue to move forward with our submission plans following input received from the Food and Drug Administration during our April pre-New Drug Application meeting. We are confident that the complete rALLy data from the entire 65 patient population, which will be reported in an oral presentation at the 2010 Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, will provide additional evidence of Marqibo's efficacy."

Recent Clinical and Corporate Highlights

In April 2010, Hana completed a pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) related to its lead product candidate, Marqibo® for the treatment of relapsed/refractory adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed NDA and to confirm the clinical, non-clinical and manufacturing requirements for the NDA submission. Following the pre-NDA meeting, Hana intends to proceed with its plan to submit a rolling NDA for Marqibo in relapsed/refractory adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL.


In April 2010, Hana also announced that complete data from its pivotal study of Marqibo in patients with relapsed/refractory adult Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL, had been accepted for an oral podium presentation at the 46th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) to be held June 4-8, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The oral podium presentation (Abstract #6507) entitled, "Phase II Study of Marqibo in Adult Patients with Refractory or Relapsed Philadelphia Chromosome Negative (Ph-) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)" will be presented in Room E354b at 11:45 a.m. on Monday, June 7.


In March 2010, Hana announced that it received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the use of menadione to prevent and treat skin rash in patients taking biologic and small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, such as Erbitux(R) and Tarceva(R), for anti-cancer therapy.  The U.S. Patent Application Number 11/886,803 is entitled "Vitamin K for Prevention and Treatment of Skin Rash Secondary to Anti-EGFR Therapy" and extends intellectual property protection around menadione into 2026.
First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

The Company reported a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.07 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared with a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.17 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, were $4.4 million compared with $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Research and development expenses were $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared with $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared with $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

The Company has implemented cost controls to conserve its cash and continues to evaluate both traditional and non-dilutive financing options. With a lower cash burn rate, the Company's current cash resources are sufficient to fund operations through June 2010.

Hana Biosciences Announces Financing of Up to $100 Million

Press Release Source: Hana Biosciences, Inc. On Monday June 7, 2010, 10:09 am EDT

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 7, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hana Biosciences Inc., (OTCBB:HNAB - News), a biopharmaceutical company focused on strengthening the foundation of cancer care, today announced that it has entered into an Investment Agreement with Warburg Pincus and Deerfield Management for the sale of up to $100 million in preferred stock. Warburg Pincus, the lead investor in the financing, is a new investor in Hana, and Deerfield is the company&#39;s largest existing shareholder prior to this financing. The sale of $40 million of preferred stock under the Investment Agreement closed today.

 

Hana intends to use the net proceeds from the financing to advance its clinical development and commercialization programs, including regulatory activities related to Marqibo&#39;s New Drug Application preparation and submission, and for general corporate purposes. In conjunction with the financing, the Company&#39;s Board of Directors will expand to nine members with Warburg Pincus having the right to designate five new members.

 

"We are pleased that Warburg Pincus and Deerfield have made such a significant investment in the Company and view it as further validation of the potential of Hana&#39;s pipeline of product candidates," said Steven R. Deitcher, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Hana Biosciences.

 

Hana expects that the financing will provide the funds needed to develop Marqibo to approval and commercialization for relapsed/refractory adult ALL patients; to study Marqibo(R) in front-line adult ALL and lymphoma patients; and to unlock the full potential of menadione topical lotion, a first-in-class therapeutic targeted at the dose-limiting skin toxicities in cancer patients taking EGFR inhibitors.

 

"We are very pleased to be able to provide the financing necessary to advance Hana&#39;s promising product pipeline," said Jonathan Leff, a Managing Director of Warburg Pincus. "We look forward to working closely with the company&#39;s board and management team to address important unmet needs in oncology."

 

Terms of the Financing

 

The Company has entered into an Investment Agreement for the sale of up to $100 million of Preferred Stock. On June 7, 2010, the investors purchased 400,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a per share sale price of $100. In conjunction with the signing, the investors have the right to purchase up to $60 million of additional Preferred Stock under certain circumstances. Upon approval by the Company&#39;s stockholders to increase the Company&#39;s authorized outstanding shares of common stock, effect a reverse stock split, and other related matters within 6 months of the closing date (i) the conversion price for the Preferred Stock to be converted to common stock will be: $0.184 for the $40 million purchased by the investors today, $0.184 for the next $20 million that the investors have the right to purchase, and $0.276 for the additional $40 million of Preferred Stock that the investors may have the right to purchase under certain circumstances and (ii) the Preferred Stock would accrete at the rate of 9% per annum, among other provisions.

 

If the Company&#39;s stockholders do not approve the above stated items (i) the investors retain the right, but not the obligation, to purchase up to an additional $60 million of Preferred Stock under certain circumstances; (ii) the effective conversion price would remain at its currently established level of $0.1288, for the $40 million purchased by the investors today, $0.1288 for the next $60 million that the investors have the right to purchase under certain circumstances; (iii) the accretion rate would be 12% increasing annually by 0.50%, and the Preferred Stock would retain a liquidation preference equal to at least 2.5 times its accreted value, among other provisions.

 

The investors are subject to certain transfer and standstill restrictions. In addition, the investors have voting rights, liquidation preferences, change of control rights, participation rights, anti-dilution protection and redemption rights, among other rights. Upon completion of the closing of the first $40 million, and in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, Michael Weiser and Lyn Wiesinger resigned as directors of Hana, and Jonathan Leff, Nishan de Silva and Andrew Ferrer, each designated by Warburg Pincus, were appointed to Hana&#39;s board of directors. Warburg also has the right to designate two additional directors to Hana&#39;s board.

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC served as financial advisor to a special committee of Hana&#39;s board of directors and provided a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction.

Hana Biosciences to raise $100M

San Francisco Business Times - by Steven E.F. Brown

Hana Biosciences Inc. plans to raise up to $100 million by selling preferred stock to two investors: Warburg Pincus and Deerfield Management.

Warburg Pincus hasn’t invested in Hana before, but Deerfield has been the company’s biggest investor until this offering, controlling nearly 10 percent of its stock. Two board members quit in this deal and Warburg picked three new ones.

Warburg and Deerfield bought $40 million worth of preferred stock under this deal on Monday. They have the right to buy up to $60 million more “under certain circumstances.”

Hana (OTCBB: HNAB) needs this money to prepare and submit a Food and Drug Administration application for its leukemia drug Marqibo.

As of March 31, Hana had accumulated a deficit of $140.6 million. Drug companies often run up big deficits while seeking and testing treatments.

Steven Deitcher, M.D., is president and CEO of South San Francisco-based Hana.

Howard Furst, M.D., of Deerfield sits on Hana’s board of directors. Michael Weiser and Lyn Wiesinger quit Hana’s board and Warburg picked Jonathan Leff, Nishan de Silva and Andrew Ferrer to join the board. Warburg also has the right to name two more directors.
