Administrator DKT27 Posted November 23, 2011 Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2011 ImMucin, a cancer vaccine, recently entered large-scale clinical trials, and may be only 6 years from widespread distribution.Lyphocytes (the cell in the image) include natural killer cells, T cells, and B cells; Credit: National Cancer InstituteIn an astonishing breakthrough, a cancer vaccine has just entered "Phase III" clinical trials at Jerusalem's Hadassah University Medical Center. If the vaccine passes this phase, the drug will go to the appropriate regulatory authorities in countries around the world. After passing regulatory review, the drug would be able to enter the drug market within a matter of only about 6 years from now.The vaccine, called ImMucin, is produced by Vaxil BioTherapeutics, a clinical-stage company (so called because all of its products are in the early stages of development and testing; not yet ready for the market). Vaxil develops therapeutic and preventive vaccines for Cancer and Tuberculosis. ImMusin is synthetically derived from the MUC1 protein, which is associated with more than 90% of solid tumor cancers and a number of non-solid tumors.ImMucin works by stimulating the patient's immune system to selectively target tumor cells. According to Vaxil, ImMucin does not contain any "non-specific" epitopes (an epitope is a the part of a antigen or foreign molecule that causes the body to produce antibodies), that allow the immune system to target just tumor cells instead of attacking other non-cancerous parts of the body that also contain the MUC1 protein. Vaxil says that the preclinical studies have shown ImMucin to induce a stronger immunity against MUC1 compard with other MUC1-derived derived vaccines.ImMucin has the unique ability to tell the body which cells to attack. Julian Levy, the CEO of Vaxil, told United With Israel, "the body knows something is not quite right but the immune system doesn’t know how to protect itself against the tumor like it does against an infection or virus. This is because cancer cells are the body’s own cells gone wrong." In other words, ImMucin is intended to enhance the immune system so that it can track down and destroy the cancer.ImMucin will be tested on a large number of patients (hundreds to thousands of individuals) in the Phase 3 trials. Once the drug has proved successful and pases each country's regulations (the FDA in the US), it may then go on the market in that country. After it reaches the market, there are two more phases to evaluate the long-term effects on patients and to further integrated it into widespread public treatment.To get the full scoop--and to learn more about ImMucin--make sure to check out Vaxil Bio Therapeutics and the video below: View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Cancer is a multi billion dollar a year business there will be no "cure" released to the common folks.Your comment makes no sense at all :(Just because some/most people are 'bad' doesn't mean all of them are ;)I'm skeptical of this as well (6 years seems unbelievable), but you never know.

jofre Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 "the body knows something is not quite right but the immune system doesn’t know how to protect itself against the tumor like it does against an infection or virus."I think they should oblige the cancer to use some mark ( like a flag ) and this way the immune system could prepair himself against the intruder attacking like an army...! :duh: :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
