7:04AM Gentium: Interim results from Gentium's treatment IND for Defibrotide -- 35% of patients achieved a complete response (CR) and 55% survived to day 100 (D+100) (GENT) 56.79 : Co announced that additional data on Defibrotide were presented this week at the 55th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology at the Ernst N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA, Dec 7-10, 2013.
Professor Paul G. Richardson, RJ Corman Professor of Medicine, Clinical Director Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (USA) reported, in an oral presentation, the updated results from the ongoing Treatment IND Expanded Access Protocol, a large prospective study on the use of Defibrotide in the treatment of Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, (abstract # 700). This updated interim analysis was based on 470 patients with VOD, enrolled between Dec 2007 and Dec 2012 at 75 centers across the United States. 425 patients had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and of those patients, 35% of patients achieved a complete response (CR) and 55% survived to day 100 (D+100).
Additional findings were as follows: In the subgroup of 284 HSCT patients with severe VOD, 29% achieved a CR and 48% survived to day 100. In the sub-group of 141 HSCT patients with non-severe VOD, 47% achieved a CR and 69 % survived to D+100. In the subgroup of 45 patients who had VOD following chemotherapy but no HSCT, 40% achieved a CR and 62% survived to D+100. Delayed initiation of Defibrotide treatment (more than 2 days after VOD diagnosis) resulted in reduced CR (25% versus 39%, p=0.0052) and survival (38% versus 61%, p=0.0001) compared to early administration (within 2 days from VOD diagnosis).

6:30AM Gentium to request re-examination of CHMP opinion on Defibrotide (GENT) 7.70 : Co announced that it has requested a re-examination of the negative opinion adopted, by the European Medicines Agency's ("EMA") Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP"), on March 22nd, regarding the Marketing Authorisation submitted for Defibrotide to treat and prevent hepatic veno-occlusive disease in adults and children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy. In accordance with European regulations, the Company has 60 days to submit grounds for appeal and the CHMP has further 60 days to consider a revision of the initial opinion. The appeal involves a re-examination of the original MAA and must be based on the data already submitted. Notwithstanding the CHMP's negative opinion, Gentium remains convinced of the favourable benefit/risk profile of Defibrotide, which is the only option recommended by the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation for the treatment VOD.

Gentium remains convinced of the favourable benefit/risk profile of Defibrotide, which is the only option recommended by the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation for the treatment VOD, an unmet medical need where no agents are currently approved. In accordance with European regulations, the Company plans to appeal the EMA's decision and request a re-examination of the CHMP opinion. EU patients will continue to have access to Defibrotide, under a named patient program where available.

While not a final decision, the Company considers it unlikely that this position will change before the formal vote is undertaken next month. If a formal negative recommendation is issued, and depending upon the nature of the objections, the Company may appeal such negative decision.

7:01AM Gentium reports results from its treatment IND for Defibrotide Presented at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting; In the subgroup of HSCT patients with sVOD, 26% achieved a CR and 45% survived to day 100 (GENT) 11.80 : Co announced that additional data from ongoing trials of Defibrotide were presented this week at the 54th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Paul Richardson, Clinical Director of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA (USA), reported in an oral presentation the updated results of a large prospective study on the use of Defibrotide in the treatment of Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, from the ongoing Treatment IND Expanded Access Protocol.
The interim analysis was based on 333 patients with severe veno-occlusive disease (sVOD) and multi-organ failure (MOF), enrolled between December 2007 and September 2011 at 68 centers across the United States. 305 patients had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and of those patients, 30% of patients achieved a complete response (CR) and 50% survived to day 100 (D+100). Additional findings were as follows:
In the subgroup of HSCT patients with sVOD, 26% achieved a CR and 45% survived to day 100. In patients with non-severe VOD, 39% achieved a CR and 65 % survived to D+100.
In the Treatment IND, 155 patients matched the entry criteria for the original Phase 3 trial and comparison to the Phase 3 historical controls showed a statistically improved outcome in CR (29% vs 9%, p=0.0019) and D+100 survival (49% vs 25%, p=0.0016)
Delayed initiation of Defibrotide treatment (>2 days, versus a delay of <2 days) following VOD diagnosis resulted in reduced CR (20% versus 34%, p=0.0195) and survival (37% versus 56%, p=0.0118). CR rate and D+100 survival for the 69 patients with non-severe VOD were 42% and 62%, respectively.
Children younger than 16 years old had higher CR rates than adults (33% vs 26%, p=0.187) and survival (56% vs 44%, p=0.277).

Gentium Provides Update on the Review of Defibrotide Marketing Authorization Application
GlobeNewswirePress Release: Gentium S.p.A. – 1 hour 1 minute
VILLA GUARDIA, Italy, Sept. 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentium S.p.A. (GENT) (the "Company") today announced that, following the Company's presentation of Oral Explanations to the European Medicines Agency's ("EMA") Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP") on September 19, 2012, the CHMP has decided to adopt a second List of Outstanding Issues ("LoOI") relating to the Company's Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") for Defibrotide to treat and prevent hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in adults and children undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy. Defibrotide was designated as an orphan drug product in the European Union on July 29, 2004 for the treatment and prevention of VOD.
Dr. Khalid Islam, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented that "Gentium is committed to obtaining approval of this potentially life-saving treatment for VOD, a condition with a mortality rate of greater than 80% and for which there is currently no approved treatment."
The Company continues to engage in an ongoing dialogue with the rapporteurs in the final stages of the application review process. The Company expects the CHMP to render a final decision on the Defibrotide MAA in the coming months.

About VOD
Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a potentially life-threatening condition, which typically occurs as a significant complication of stem cell transplantation. Certain high-dose conditioning regimens used as part of stem cell transplantation can damage the lining cells of hepatic blood vessels and result in VOD, a blockage of the small veins in the liver that leads to liver failure and can result in significant dysfunction in other organs such as the kidneys and lungs (so-called severe VOD). Stem cell transplantation is a frequently used treatment modality following high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy for hematologic cancers and other conditions in both adults and children. At present there is no approved agent for the treatment or prevention of VOD in the United States or the European Union.

About VOD
Veno-occlusive disease is a potentially life-threatening condition, which typically occurs as a significant complication of stem cell transplantation. Certain high-dose conditioning regimens used as part of stem cell transplantation can damage the lining cells of hepatic blood vessels and so result in VOD, a blockage of the small veins of the liver that leads to liver failure and can result in significant dysfunction in other organs such as the kidneys and lungs (so-called severe VOD). SCT is a frequently used treatment modality following high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy for hematologic cancers and other conditions in both adults and children. There is currently no approved agent for the treatment or prevention of VOD in the US or the EU.
About Defibrotide
Defibrotide has the potential to become the first drug approved for the prevention and treatment of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) a serious and potentially fatal complication of hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The efficacy of Defibrotide to treat hepatic VOD in HSCT patients is supported by data from a multi-center Phase 3 historically controlled trial, evaluating Defibrotide for the treatment of severe VOD (patients with VOD and multi-organ failure), a Phase 2 dose finding study, and interim data reported from the ongoing Phase 3 expanded access U.S. Treatment IND program in patients with severe hepatic VOD. Additional data include a Phase 3 randomized controlled study of Defibrotide in the prevention of hepatic VOD in pediatric HSCT patients. Defibrotide has generally been well-tolerated in the clinical setting, and results in more than 1,300 patients to date have shown that generally Defibrotide does not appear to increase the risk of complications in HSCT patients.

VILLA GUARDIA (COMO), Italy, Sept. 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentium S.p.A.

"Additionally, we have continued to be cash flow positive and profitable during the first half of 2011, and have decreased our long-term debt while investing in the establishment of our European sales infrastructure. We confirm our previously reported projection that Defibrotide product sales for 2011 are expected to increase 25%-30% over 2010, but due in large part to lower API revenues, we are revising our 2011 product sales forecast to be in the range of EUR 21-23 million instead of EUR 23--25 million as originally projected."
"We are delighted that the number of clinics using Defibrotide through the expanded access and named-patients programs has increased since the beginning of the year, and we have entered into new local distribution agreements with several specialized regional partners that will initially distribute Defibrotide through these programs," stated Dr. Khalid Islam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gentium S.p.A. "Our Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Defibrotide was accepted by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and we expect to receive any questions on the application shortly. With regard to the United States, we recently announced that we voluntarily withdrew our New Drug Application (NDA) for Defibrotide with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to conduct additional quality reviews on our original datasets and databases. An independent clinical research organization specialized in this area has been engaged to review all the datasets and identify the issues. Once that process is complete, we intend to prepare a remediation plan and discuss it with the FDA to determine if it satisfactorily addresses the Agency's concerns."

GENT $6.00 Gentium shares tumble after co withdraws liver drug
By Shravya Jain
Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:40am EDT
(Reuters) - Shares of Gentium SpA (GENT.O) fell as much as 30 percent on Thursday, a day after it withdrew a marketing application for its experimental treatment for life-threatening complications related to stem cell transplantation.
"We have lost confidence in management's abilities to successfully navigate the regulatory and commercial paths for Defibrotide, the company's sole proprietary drug candidate," ThinkEquity analyst Mani Mohindru wrote in a note and downgraded the company's stock to "sell" from "buy."
Gentium is testing defibrotide as both preventive and acute treatment options for veno-occlusive disease, a condition in which small veins of the liver are blocked, in stem cell transplant patients.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about the completeness of the datasets for both the treatment and prevention studies.
Mohindru said she had been expecting the issues to be debated by an advisory panel.
"Contrary to our expectations, the clinical deficiencies were apparently so serious, that the FDA did not even want to spend time to review the entire application," she wrote.
However, Wedbush Securities analyst Gregory Wade said he was confident in the drug's ability to get approved both in the United States and Europe and would be an aggressive buyer of the company's shares based on weakness.
He cut the price target on the stock by $2 to $14.
He said the product remained the standard of care both in the United States and Europe and that hasn't changed.
In the first quarter, defibrotide net sales to patients who have unsuccessfully used all alternate treatment options was 3.86 million euros -- 76 percent of total product sales.
"While there may be a bump in the road to approval, it is not really affecting the business of the company in the near-term at least," he said.
The Italian company's shares were trading down 29 percent at $6.22 on Thursday morning on Nasdaq.
