Undertakes Novel Genomic “Pre-profiling” Feasibility Study to Examine the Promise of Precision Medicine in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients
ME Newswire / Business Wire
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. - Wednesday, September 25th 2013
Quintiles today announced plans to improve the development of biomarker-targeted therapies through a novel approach that promotes the genomic “pre-profiling” of cancer patients. As a first step, Quintiles is undertaking a study with the participation of US Oncology Research, supported by McKesson Specialty Health and The US Oncology Network, to explore the operational feasibility and clinical benefits of an upfront approach to the genomic profiling of tumors from metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. The study will investigate how pre-profiling and genomic sequencing data may support physician treatment decisions, including the identification of appropriate clinical trials for patients.
“Today, the industry’s approach to stratifying patients through genomic screening is sequential – testing for oncology biomarkers one at a time, and often only as part of screening for participation in a single clinical trial,” explained Jeffrey Spaeder, M.D., chief medical and scientific officer for Quintiles. “Early indications from this study suggest that we can provide physicians and patients with early visibility on potentially clinically actionable biomarkers within a rapid two-week timeframe. This level and speed of analysis has promise to save valuable time in administering potentially life-saving therapies to patients, and reduce the development times of precision medicines.”
As cancer research and care enter the era of precision medicine, Quintiles is actively transforming the model for testing new therapies. Pre-profiling may accelerate early testing of new biomarker-targeted therapies by enabling biopharmaceutical companies to focus on molecules with high potential for safety and effectiveness. For cancer patients and physicians, pre-profiling enables the efficient matching of the right patients to the right clinical studies, and increases patient access to innovative therapies.
“Our work is taking a critical step toward making precision medicine a reality,” continued Spaeder. “Quintiles’ end-to-end design and delivery model for connecting genomic testing with clinical trials supports the needs of patients, physicians and drug developers. Our goal is to provide oncology investigators and their patients with access to effective, cutting-edge therapies through a model built upon experience and high-quality cancer care.”
About the “Pre-profiling” Feasibility Study
The primary objective of the study, titled “Feasibility study of Biomarker Analysis for Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer,” is to determine the number of genetic changes that occur within mCRC patients that are targeted by U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved therapies, as well as those targeted by therapies in development. The study will perform a broad-based biomarker analysis on mCRC patients, and the results will be reported to the treating physicians in a clinically meaningful format to help identify higher-risk patients and aid in selecting better treatment options.

Data presented at EASD support safety profile of Trajenta® (linagliptin) in broad range of adults with Type 2 Diabetes
INGELHEIM, Germany and INDIANAPOLIS, US - Tuesday, September 24th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
Pooled analysis of trial data showed linagliptin was well tolerated including in the elderly with normal renal function to severe renal impairment
The overall incidence of adverse events was similar for linagliptin compared to placebo
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For Non-US and Non-UK Media
Poster No. 926 & 986
Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company today announced that results from two different pooled analyses of clinical studies support previous observations that the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor linagliptin was shown to be well tolerated in a broad range of adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). These data were presented at the 49th European Association of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting.
General safety analysis
Findings from a pooled comprehensive analysis of safety data in 22 linagliptin clinical trials with 7,400 people with T2D (4,810 received linagliptin, 2,590 received placebo) included the following:1
Linagliptin was well tolerated overall and across all age groups studied, with a low incidence of hypoglycemic events
In an exploratory analysis, overall hypoglycaemia was lower for linagliptin compared to placebo (11.5 percent versus 14 percent, p=0.0021)
Overall incidence of adverse events (AE) or serious adverse events (SAE) with linagliptin was similar to placebo (AE 56.5 percent versus 61.2 percent, and SAE 4.8 percent versus 6.3 percent, respectively)
The incidence of AEs with linagliptin compared to placebo remained similar irrespective of the age category (≤65 years, 65-74 years, ≥75 years)
“Drug tolerability is an important consideration in the selection of appropriate treatments for people with Type 2 Diabetes, as often different populations will have drug contra-indications and require dose adjustments to manage their disease,” said Prof. Nikolaus Marx, Professor of Medicine and Cardiology, University Hospital of Aachen, Germany. “The results presented today support the safety profile of linagliptin.”
Renal safety in the elderly
Results from a post-hoc analysis of pooled data from seven clinical trials including 1,293 people with T2D aged 65 years or older showed:2
Linagliptin was well tolerated providing clinical efficacy in an elderly population with renal function ranging from normal to severe renal impairment
Overall renal function was not significantly altered by treatment with linagliptin from baseline to week 24, versus placebo
Patients taking linagliptin achieved a HbA1c reduction of -0.6 percent from baseline and −0.8 mmol/L for fasting plasma glucose (both values placebo-corrected)
The overall incidence of AEs with linagliptin was similar to placebo (71.3 percent versus 72.8 percent, respectively)
Incidence of investigator-defined hypoglycaemia was not higher in patients who received linagliptin compared to those receiving placebo (21.3 percent versus 24.7 percent), with most events occurring in the trials that included a sulphonylurea or basal insulin as background therapy
Renal and urinary AEs were experienced by 5.5 percent and 4.3 percent of linagliptin and placebo patients, respectively
“The data presented from these analyses supplement the already established evidence demonstrating that linagliptin is a well-tolerated treatment for a broad range of people with Type 2 Diabetes,” said Professor Klaus Dugi, Corporate Senior Vice President Medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim. “This should provide physicians further assurance when treating different patient types with linagliptin.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and several other regulatory authorities worldwide have approved linagliptin for the treatment of adults with T2D as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, metformin + sulphonylurea, and as add-on therapy to insulin. With linagliptin, no dose adjustment is required regardless of renal function or hepatic impairment.3,4
About Linagliptin
Linagliptin (5 mg) is marketed in Europe as Trajenta® (linagliptin) and in the U.S. as Tradjenta® (linagliptin), as a once-daily tablet that is used along with diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with T2D. Linagliptin should not be used in patients with Type 1 Diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine).3,4

Pooled analysis data showed improvements in glycaemic parameters, body weight and blood pressure with investigational agent empagliflozin* in adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Pooled data from four Phase III trials presented at the 49th EASD Annual Meeting
ME Newswire / Business Wire
INGELHEIM, Germany & INDIANAPOLIS, US - Tuesday, September 24th 2013
For Non-US and Non-UK Media
Poster No. 943 and 944
Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company today announced results from a new analysis of pooled efficacy data from four Phase III trials that showed treatment with investigational compound empagliflozin*, a member of the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class of drugs, improved glycaemic parameters, body weight and blood pressure, in adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).1 Data from this pooled analysis are being presented at the 49th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting.
“Management of Type 2 Diabetes in people with elevated cardiovascular risk represents a challenge for physicians” said John E. Gerich, M.D. Professor of Medicine and Physiology, University of Rochester School of Medicine. “Results from this pooled analysis showed that empagliflozin was associated with reductions of elevated blood pressure and modest body weight loss, in addition to improving glycaemic parameters. These are important considerations for people with Type 2 Diabetes.”
The pooled analysis of four Phase III trials was based on efficacy data from 2,477 patients treated with empagliflozin (10mg or 25mg) for 24 weeks either as monotherapy or as add-on to metformin, metformin with sulphonylurea, or pioglitazone with or without metformin. This abstract only presented pooled efficacy data; pooled safety results were presented in a separate analysis.2
At week 24, patients administered empagliflozin 10mg and 25mg showed:1
Significant reductions from baseline in HbA1c of 0.70 percent and 0.76 percent respectively, compared to a change of -0.08 percent for placebo
Loss of 2.05kg and 2.25kg of body weight respectively from baseline, compared to a reduction of 0.24kg for placebo
Reductions in systolic blood pressure of 3.9mmHg and 4.3mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure of 1.8mmHg and 2.0mmHg, respectively. Reductions of 0.5mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 0.6mmHg in diastolic blood pressure were achieved by patients treated with placebo
Changes from baseline in LDL cholesterol of +3.1mg/dL and +3.9mg/dL respectively, versus a change of +0.8mg/dL for placebo
Changes from baseline in HDL cholesterol of +2.7mg/dL for both doses, versus a change of 0mg/dL for placebo
Changes from baseline in triglyceride levels of -9.7mg/dL and -1.8mg/dL respectively, versus a change of +2.7mg/dL for placebo
“The results presented today encourage us to further investigate the efficacy and cardiovascular safety of empagliflozin as a potential new treatment option for people with Type 2 Diabetes,” said Professor Klaus Dugi, Senior Vice President Medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim.
In addition to the pooled analysis of efficacy data, Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly are also presenting the design of the empagliflozin cardiovascular (CV) outcomes trial at the EASD annual meeting.
The long-term impact of treatment with empagliflozin on CV events is being investigated in a CV outcomes event trial in patients with T2D. The approximately four-year study of more than 7,000 patients with T2D at elevated CV risk, is investigating the long term treatment of empagliflozin versus placebo on CV morbidity and mortality in 42 countries at more than 620 sites.3
The primary endpoint is time to first occurrence of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (heart attack) or non-fatal stroke. In addition, the study is assessing long term blood glucose lowering efficacy, body weight changes, the incidence of hypoglycaemia and other safety measures. Recruitment for EMPA-REG OUTCOME™ completed in April 2013 and the study is currently expected to complete in 2018.
About the empagliflozin Phase III clinical trial programme
Empagliflozin is being investigated in adults with T2D in a Phase III clinical trial programme, which has enrolled more than 14,500 patients. This programme comprises more than 10 multinational clinical trials.
* Empagliflozin is an investigational compound. Its safety and efficacy have not been established.

Gemalto, Oracle and V2COM Collaborate to Deliver M2M Technology for Smart Grid Solutions in Latin America
ME NewsWire / Business Wire
AMSTERDAM - Tuesday, September 24th 2013
Regulatory News:
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, announces that it is working with Oracle and V2COM, a leading developer of Smart Grid systems, in delivering a flexible smart energy solution. This advanced Smart Grid Platform leveraging Gemalto’s Cinterion modules with Oracle Java ME Embedded and Oracle Java SE Embedded, will help to modernize electrical power delivery throughout Latin America. The unique combination of data security and modular, Java-based solutions will help enable leading-edge smart metering, along with “big data” integration and power network automation, to improve overall energy efficiency, as well as quality of service for utility companies.
V2COM’s innovative solution uses Gemalto’s Cinterion modules with Oracle Java ME Embedded to securely and reliably communicate energy usage data over wireless networks. These modules seamlessly communicate with V2COM’s Intellligenceware Suite, which uses Oracle Java SE Embedded, Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM) and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition to connect meter and sensor data into back-end utility IT systems. This allows electric companies to reduce energy losses and fraudulent incidents by improving remote monitoring and management of energy consumption. Quality of service to customers is also improved with faster response times when outages or other issues occur. The intelligent design is scalable, flexible and robust, and can be quickly customized to the individual demands of local market energy providers.
“Gemalto’s M2M solutions integrate seamlessly with V2COM and Oracle’s technologies. Together, we provide a simple, scalable and cost-effective smart energy architecture,” said Nandini Ramani, vice president of development, Java Platform, Oracle. “Supported by the world’s largest community of developers and deployed in over three billion devices worldwide, Java enables smart energy companies to rapidly create and adapt sophisticated M2M solutions that improve business. V2COM also works very closely with our dedicated Utilities Business Unit, implementing the leading Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management solution, which is key to the successful rollout of smart meters. It offers scalable, robust functionality, together with a full suite of analytics, to support utilities in Brazil and across the world.”
“We relied on Gemalto’s market-proven security expertise to design a solution that is unique in the market for safeguarding the integrity of the power grid infrastructure,” said Guilherme Spina, Managing Director, V2COM. “This solution is already deployed in various countries across Latin America, including Brazil which currently has 69 million installed energy meters and adds six to seven million new meters every year. In Colombia, for example, automated network management reduced response times to issues like power outages by 40 percent.”
“The modernization of the Brazilian electricity network requires a $23 billion investment by 2030 for various operational and technical improvements including smart meters, billing automation and quality control,” added Ramzi Abdine, Regional Manager for M2M at Gemalto Latin America. “Gemalto’s extensive expertise in smart metering and remote monitoring, and its customizable, reliable Java-based technology enable our customers to offer the most comprehensive solutions to utility companies that are upgrading their systems.”

Robert Weinberg, Leroy Hood, Bob Löwenberg, Olli Kallioniemi, Rene Bernards, Guido Kroemer, Hans Clevers, Matthias Uhlen and Other Top Experts in Tumor Biology and Precision Cancer Medicine to Present at WIN 2014 Symposium
PARIS - Tuesday, September 24th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
Paris, June 23-24, 2014
WIN2014
(BUSINESS WIRE) WIN Consortium (www.winconsortium.org) announces today the scientific program of the upcoming WIN 2014 Symposium in Paris, June 23-24. The world’s leaders in tumor biology and precision cancer medicine will present keynote lectures in an exceptional event entirely dedicated to combination therapies for cancer under the title:
WINning combinations for precision cancer medicine: Breakthrough molecular investigations and combined therapeutic approaches
"This original theme is, for the first time, the subject of an international symposium," said Dr. Vladimir Lazar, Chief Operating Officer of the WIN Consortium.
"Most patients’ tumors are driven by multiple molecular aberrations that cannot be controlled by a single targeted agent. The challenge is to identify and test smart combinations of targeted agents capable of blocking pathways most effectively, or by combining different therapeutic modalities such as targeted and immunomodulatory agents or radiation therapy," said John Mendelsohn, Chair of the WIN Consortium.
Alexander Eggermont, Vice-Chair of WIN Consortium and co-chair of the WIN2014 Symposium together with Mike Pellini (USA) and Gerald Batist (Canada) stated: "We are very pleased to announce the participation of some of the undisputed thought-leaders in the field: Robert Weinberg (USA), Leroy Hood (USA), Hans Clevers (Netherlands), Olli Kallioniemi (Finland), Rene Bernards (Netherlands), Guido Kroemer (France) and many other colleagues that accepted our invitation to create an unprecedented scientific event dedicated to innovation in therapies to improve cancer patients’ outcomes and quality of life."
The scientific program will address major developments in precision cancer medicine in sessions featuring the world’s leaders in basic and clinical cancer research, each session focusing on the rationale for combinations. Sessions themes and confirmed speakers are:
Molecular analysis of immune cells and immunotherapy: Jérôme Galon (France); George Coukos (Switzerland); Axel Hoos, GlaxoSmithKline, (USA); Guido Kroemer, (France)
What can we learn from hemato-oncology? Bob Löwenberg, (Netherlands); Eric Solary (France); Ross Levin (USA); Jesus Gomez-Navarro, Millennium-Takeda (USA); Olli Kallioniemi (Finland)
Innovative therapeutic initiatives and models of cooperation: Denis Lacombe (Brussels); Jean-Charles Soria (France)
Tumor cell plasticity and drugable targets: Robert Weinberg (USA)
Combination of targeted therapies: Hans Clevers (Netherlands); René Bernards, (Netherlands); Razelle Kurzrock (USA); Richard Buller, Pfizer (USA); Antoine Yver, AstraZeneca (UK); Silvia Formenti (USA); Elias Zerhouni, Sanofi (France)
New findings in fundamental mechanisms in pediatric solid and liquid cancers: Stefan Pfister (Germany); Gilles Vassal (France)
Blood and body fluids – non-invasive investigations in oncology: Leroy Hood (USA); Mathias Uhlen (Sweden); Caroline Dive (UK)
For program updates, registration, and call for abstracts, visit the WIN 2014 Symposium website: www.winsymposium.org
WIN2014 is the 6th edition of a successful series of conferences organized by the Worldwide Innovative Networking (WIN) Consortium in personalized cancer medicine (www.winconsortium.org).
The WIN Consortium is a not-for-profit global collaboration of leading academic, industry, health plan, and advocacy organizations that runs global research projects identifying biomarkers for targeted therapies and clinical trials investigating targeted cancer treatments.
