Judah Folkman our Hero has sadly died 






EIGA PHARMA RESEARCH, PRODUCTS AND INVENTIONS

The Eiga team's work is centered around three principal areas.

  1. Magnetic Nano Particle Separator 
  2. Cancer diagnostics 
  3.  Autoimmune response of cancer 


1. Magnetic Nano Particle Separator 



Magnetic Separator device is protected by patent 

The invention relates to the field of ecology, biotechnology, molecular biology, biological chemistry, immunology, in particular to detection of components with the help of specific interactions between the latter and a microcarrier comprising a receptor immobilized thereon for defining said components. Increasing the reliability of simultaneous detection of a number of components in a mixture, making the analysis cheaper and less time-consuming, extending the range of markers used as well as providing the possibility of visual registration of the contents of a number of components in a mixture is achieved by a method and a device for simultaneous detection of a number of components in a mixture, said method comprising a step of reacting of the components under analysis with the specific receptors immobilized on the surfaces of microcarriers of various forms. As a result of formation of specific complexes a mobility of microcarriers under the influence of a physical field is changed. Due to the change of mobility of microcarriers under the influence of a physical field a separation into a fraction of non-reacted microcarriers with unchanged mobility, and a fraction or fractions of microcarriers with changed mobility. Since each type of a specific receptor is bound to its marked microcarrier the analysis of just a marker characteristic of microcarriers with changed mobility under the influence of a physical field will reveal the availability of the component which has reacted with this microcarrier in the mixture under analysis. Under a physical field as in the case described a gravitation field, an electric field or a magnetic field as well as combinations of .the above is understood. A more efficient reacting of the mixture components with a minimum amount of microcarriers , provision of an efficient and operation-saving separation of microcarriers is achieved in a convenient for sterilization separating chamber where the process of retaining the microcarriers on the walls of a separating chamber and removing them into the collector is actually continuous.

Glossary of terms for clinical trials


What are the different types of clinical trials?

Treatment trials test experimental treatments, new combinations of drugs, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.

Prevention trials look for better ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the disease or to prevent a disease from returning. These approaches may include medicines, vaccines, vitamins, minerals, or lifestyle changes.

Diagnostic trials are conducted to find better tests or procedures for diagnosing a particular disease or condition.

Screening trials test the best way to detect certain diseases or health conditions.

Quality of Life trials (or Supportive Care trials) explore ways to improve comfort and the quality of life for individuals with a chronic illness.


What are the phases of clinical trials?

Clinical trials are conducted in phases. The trials at each phase have a different purpose and help scientists answer different questions:

Preclinical Trials

These are normally conducted  on animals, clinical trials are defined as trials on humans.


In Phase I trials, researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.

In Phase II trials, the experimental study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.

In Phase III trials, the experimental study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the experimental drug or treatment to be used safely.

In Phase IV trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.


Understanding Clinical Trials

Choosing to participate in a clinical trial is an important personal decision. The following frequently asked questions provide detailed information about clinical trials. In addition, it is often helpful to talk to a physician, family members, or friends about deciding to join a trial. After identifying some trial options, the next step is to contact the study research staff and ask questions about specific trials.


What is a clinical trial?

Although there are many definitions of clinical trials, they are generally considered to be biomedical or health-related research studies in human beings that follow a pre-defined protocol. ClinicalTrials.gov includes both interventional and observational types of studies. Interventional studies are those in which the research subjects are assigned by the investigator to a treatment or other intervention, and their outcomes are measured. Observational studies are those in which individuals are observed and their outcomes are measured by the investigators.


Why participate in a clinical trial?

Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.


Who can participate in a clinical trial?

All clinical trials have guidelines about who can participate. Using inclusion/exclusion criteria is an important principle of medical research that helps to produce reliable results. The factors that allow someone to participate in a clinical trial are called "inclusion criteria" and those that disallow someone from participating are called "exclusion criteria". These criteria are based on such factors as age, gender, the type and stage of a disease, previous treatment history, and other medical conditions. Before joining a clinical trial, a participant must qualify for the study. Some research studies seek participants with illnesses or conditions to be studied in the clinical trial, while others need healthy participants. It is important to note that inclusion and exclusion criteria are not used to reject people personally. Instead, the criteria are used to identify appropriate participants and keep them safe. The criteria help ensure that researchers will be able to answer the questions they plan to study.


What happens during a clinical trial?

The clinical trial process depends on the kind of trial being conducted (See What are the different types of clinical trials?) The clinical trial team includes doctors and nurses as well as social workers and other health care professionals. They check the health of the participant at the beginning of the trial, give specific instructions for participating in the trial, monitor the participant carefully during the trial, and stay in touch after the trial is completed.

Some clinical trials involve more tests and doctor visits than the participant would normally have for an illness or condition. For all types of trials, the participant works with a research team. Clinical trial participation is most successful when the protocol is carefully followed and there is frequent contact with the research staff.


What is informed consent?

Informed consent is the process of learning the key facts about a clinical trial before deciding whether or not to participate. It is also a continuing process throughout the study to provide information for participants. To help someone decide whether or not to participate, the doctors and nurses involved in the trial explain the details of the study. If the participant's native language is not English, translation assistance can be provided. Then the research team provides an informed consent document that includes details about the study, such as its purpose, duration, required procedures, and key contacts. Risks and potential benefits are explained in the informed consent document. The participant then decides whether or not to sign the document. Informed consent is not a contract, and the participant may withdraw from the trial at any time.


What are the benefits and risks of participating in a clinical trial?

Benefits

Clinical trials that are well-designed and well-executed are the best approach for eligible participants to:
Play an active role in their own health care.
Gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available.
Obtain expert medical care at leading health care facilities during the trial.
Help others by contributing to medical research.
Risks

There are risks to clinical trials.
There may be unpleasant, serious or even life-threatening side effects to experimental treatment.
The experimental treatment may not be effective for the participant.
The protocol may require more of their time and attention than would a non-protocol treatment, including trips to the study site, more treatments, hospital stays or complex dosage requirements.

What are side effects and adverse reactions?

Side effects are any undesired actions or effects of the experimental drug or treatment. Negative or adverse effects may include headache, nausea, hair loss, skin irritation, or other physical problems. Experimental treatments must be evaluated for both immediate and long-term side effects.


How is the safety of the participant protected?

The ethical and legal codes that govern medical practice also apply to clinical trials. In addition, most clinical research is federally regulated with built in safeguards to protect the participants. The trial follows a carefully controlled protocol, a study plan which details what researchers will do in the study. As a clinical trial progresses, researchers report the results of the trial at scientific meetings, to medical journals, and to various government agencies. Individual participants' names will remain secret and will not be mentioned in these reports (See Confidentiality Regarding Trial Participants).


What should people consider before participating in a trial?

People should know as much as possible about the clinical trial and feel comfortable asking the members of the health care team questions about it, the care expected while in a trial, and the cost of the trial. The following questions might be helpful for the participant to discuss with the health care team. Some of the answers to these questions are found in the informed consent document.
What is the purpose of the study?
Who is going to be in the study?
Why do researchers believe the experimental treatment being tested may be effective? Has it been tested before?
What kinds of tests and experimental treatments are involved?
How do the possible risks, side effects, and benefits in the study compare with my current treatment?
How might this trial affect my daily life?
How long will the trial last?
Will hospitalization be required?
Who will pay for the experimental treatment?
Will I be reimbursed for other expenses?
What type of long-term follow up care is part of this study?
How will I know that the experimental treatment is working? Will results of the trials be provided to me?
Who will be in charge of my care?

What kind of preparation should a potential participant make for the meeting with the research coordinator or doctor?
Plan ahead and write down possible questions to ask.
Ask a friend or relative to come along for support and to hear the responses to the questions.
Bring a tape recorder to record the discussion to replay later.
Every clinical trial in the U.S. must be approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to make sure the risks are as low as possible and are worth any potential benefits. An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, community advocates, and others that ensures that a clinical trial is ethical and the rights of study participants are protected. All institutions that conduct or support biomedical research involving people must, by federal regulation, have an IRB that initially approves and periodically reviews the research.


Does a participant continue to work with a primary health care provider while in a trial?

Yes. Most clinical trials provide short-term treatments related to a designated illness or condition, but do not provide extended or complete primary health care. In addition, by having the health care provider work with the research team, the participant can ensure that other medications or treatments will not conflict with the protocol.


Can a participant leave a clinical trial after it has begun?

Yes. A participant can leave a clinical trial, at any time. When withdrawing from the trial, the participant should let the research team know about it, and the reasons for leaving the study.


Where do the ideas for trials come from?

Ideas for clinical trials usually come from researchers. After researchers test new therapies or procedures in the laboratory and in animal studies, the experimental treatments with the most promising laboratory results are moved into clinical trials. During a trial, more and more information is gained about an experimental treatment, its risks and how well it may or may not work.


Who sponsors clinical trials?

Clinical trials are sponsored or funded by a variety of organizations or individuals such as physicians, medical institutions, foundations, voluntary groups, and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Department of Veteran's Affairs (VA). Trials can take place in a variety of locations, such as hospitals, universities, doctors' offices, or community clinics.


What is a protocol?

A protocol is a study plan on which all clinical trials are based. The plan is carefully designed to safeguard the health of the participants as well as answer specific research questions. A protocol describes what types of people may participate in the trial; the schedule of tests, procedures, medications, and dosages; and the length of the study. While in a clinical trial, participants following a protocol are seen regularly by the research staff to monitor their health and to determine the safety and effectiveness of their treatment.


What is a placebo?

A placebo is an inactive pill, liquid, or powder that has no treatment value. In clinical trials, experimental treatments are often compared with placebos to assess the experimental treatment's effectiveness. In some studies, the participants in the control group will receive a placebo instead of an active drug or experimental treatment.


What is a control or control group?

A control is the standard by which experimental observations are evaluated. In many clinical trials, one group of patients will be given an experimental drug or treatment, while the control group is given either a standard treatment for the illness or a placebo.

EIGA OBJECTIVES

  1. To open a cancer treatment Clinic in Switzerland - Eiga Clinic  2009.
  2. After clinical trials we will license local companies to produce the diagnostic service.
  3. To obtain distribution agreement for the diagnostic test.
  4. The Nano Magnetic Separation will go into production and be sold and distributed to research centers and medical clinics.


WHAT ARE WE CURRENTLY WORKING ON

Nano Magnetic particle Separator - The Eiga team has patented a Nano Magnetic  Particle. The device has a large number of leading edge medical applications in the separation of foreign bodies or contaminate particles from the blood.

Complex Protein for cancer treatment - The Eiga team has identified  a core complex of proteins that can inhibit the growth of a cancer tumour particularly in the instance of solid tumors. The proteins act to stimulate the bodies own natural ability to reduce the blood supply to the cancer tumours.

Early stage Cancer Diagnostics -  A marker protein has successfully been tested in the laboratory with an elisa test showning a high probability of the presence  of cancer. 

Currently undertaking clinical trials in Russia -  Clinical trial have been undertaken on terminal cancer patients and have shown positive results. Some patients have experienced a decrease in the growth of the tumour and in others  a recovery was observed.

Dr. Leonard Hayflick was born on 20 May 1928 in Philadelphia, Pa. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1956. After receiving a post-doctoral Fellowship for study at the University of Texas, Galveston, under the tutelage of the renowned cell culturist Prof. Charles M. Pomerat, he returned to Philadelphia, where he spent ten years as an Associate Member of the Wistar Institute and two years as an Assistant Professor of Research Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1968 Dr. Hayflick was appointed Professor of Medical Microbiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California. In 1982 he moved to the University of Florida, Gainesville, where he became Director of the Center for Gerontological Studies and Professor of Zoology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Professor of Microbiology and Immunology in the College of Medicine.

In 1988 Dr. Hayflick joined the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco where he is presently Professor of Anatomy. Dr. Hayflick is a member of numerous national and international scientific and public boards of directors and committees. He is now, or has been, on the Editorial Boards of more than ten professional journals. Dr. Hayflick was Editor-in-Chief of the international journal “EXPERIMENTAL GERONTOLOGY” for 13 years.

He is a member of twenty scientific and professional societies in which he has held several high offices including President of the Gerontological Society of America from 1982 to 1983. He was a founding member of the Council of the National Institute on Aging, NIH and Chairman of its' Executive Committee. He was a consultant to the National Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization, and is now a member of several scientific advisory boards. He was Chairman of the Scientific Review Board of the American Federation for Aging Research where he was also a Vice President and a Member of the Board of Directors.




Dr Michael B Fossel M.D., Ph.D

Michael B. Fossel, M.D., Ph.D. (born 1950, Greenwich, Connecticut) is a professor of clinical medicine at Michigan State University best known for his views on telomerase therapy as a possible treatment forcellular senescence. Fossel has appeared on many major news programs to discuss aging and appears regularly on National Public Radio (NPR). He is also a respected lecturer, author, and the founder and former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine (now known as Rejuvenation Research).

Prior to earning his M.D. at Stanford Medical School, Fossel earned a joint B.A. (cum laude) and M.A. in psychology at Wesleyan University and a Ph.D. in neurobiology at Stanford University. He is also a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy. After graduating from medical school in 1981, he was awarded a National Science Foundation fellowship and taught at Stanford University.

In addition to his current position at Michigan State University, Fossel has lectured at the National Institute for Health, the Smithsonian Institution, and at various other universities and institutes in various parts of the world. Fossel is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians, a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Gerontological Society, the American Society on Aging, and the American Geriatrics Society, and serves on the board of directors for the American Aging Association.

Fossel has written numerous articles on aging and ethics for the Journal of the American Medical Association and In Vivo, and a book by Fossel entitled Reversing Human Aging was published in 1996. The book garnered favorable reviews from mainstream newspapers as well as Scientific American and has since been published in six languages. An academic textbook by Fossel entitled Cells, Aging, and Human Diseasewas published in 2004 by Oxford University Press.

Since his days as a teacher at Stanford University, Fossel has studied aging from a medical and scientific perspective with a particular emphasis on premature aging syndromes such as progeria, and since at least 1996 he has been a strong and vocal advocate of experimenting with telomerase therapy as a way of treating diseases, disorders, and syndromes such as progeria, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis,osteoporosis, cancer, AIDS, and organic senescence (i.e., aging). However, he is careful to qualify his advocacy of telomerase therapy as being a potential treatment for these conditions rather than a "cure for old age" and a panacea for age-related medical conditions, albeit a potential treatment that could radically extend the maximum human life span and reverse the aging process in most people. Specifically, Fossel sees the potential of telomerase therapy as being a highly effective point of intervention in a wide variety of medical conditions.

Main directions of scientific investigations are as follows: generation and elaboration of hypotheses aimed at explanation of molecular and cellular mechanisms of main still unsolved questions of biology of aging, cell differentiation, morphogenesis, peculiarities of nuclear envelop functioning, regulation of infradian rhythms and control of the flow of biological time in organism.

A short outline of some Olovnikov’s scientific contributions

In 1971-1973, A.M. Olovnikov made an contribution into foundation of a biological area, that is called a telomere biology. The essence of this novel scientific direction consists in the study of mechanisms of shortening of telomeric DNA in normal somatic cells, as well as the study of the biological role of this shortening and pathways of maintenance of stability of chromosome tips in germline and somatic cells, stem cells and cancer cells including. These studies are now performed in dozens of labs around the world and they were started just after the wortldwide recognition of the existence of the process of telomeric DNA shortening which was firstly predicted in Olovnikov's theoretical publications. On the whole, A.M. Olovnikov performed in the telomere biology the following:

1) it was firstly formulated the very existence of the problem of the DNA

end underreplication (In 1971 , in Doklady, see in Bibliography);

2) it was explained that a circular form of genome of prokaryotes is a means of

protection of their DNA from the end underreplication;

3) it was predicted the existence of the process of DNA shortening at the tips of chromosomal DNA during doubling of normal somatic cells. On this basis, it was interpreted the existence of a Hayflick limit, or the restricted potential of doublings of the normally aging somatic cells;

4) it was predicted the existence of correlation between cellular senescence and telomere DNA shortening;

5) it was also predicted the existence of special form of compensatory DNA polymerase in germline cells (now it is called as a telomerase) which is responsible for the maintenance of the stable length of telomere DNA;

6) it was proposed that cancer cells should have the same DNA polymerase (telomerase) as the germline cells, and it was predicted that this DNA polymerase (that is a telomerase) does endow the cancer cells with their immortality, allowing them to avoid a Hayflick limit and cell senescence.

In 1992-1995, Olovnikov put forward, the conception of an another effect, namely so called "DNA terminal underrepair synthesis", or shortly "end underrepair".

In 1997-1999 Olovnikov proposed and theoretically elaborated the mechanism of quantitative regulation of genes’ expression via the so called fountain mechanism of RNA-dependent regulation of ion channels in inner membrane of nuclear envelope.

In 2003-2006, Olovnikov proposed the principally novel mechanism of biological aging (in frame of the so called redusome hypothesis) and then, on its basis, it was developed the hypothesis of a chronomere program of life span. Besides it was suggested an existence of novel physiological system, so called lunasensor system.

In 2007, it was proposed a new hypothesis concerning the origin of Alzheimer’s disease.
