es sollte mal ein bisschen schneller anziehen, damit die shorties sich eindecken müssen :)

The data from the HEAT Study post-hoc analysis presented by Professor Poon demonstrate that ThermoDox® markedly improves Overall Survival, when compared to the control group, in patients if their lesions undergo RFA for 45 minutes or more.  These findings apply to single HCC lesions (63% of the HEAT Study population) from both size cohorts of the HEAT Study (3-5 cm and 5-7 cm) and represent a subgroup of approximately 300 patients (42% of the patients in the HEAT Study).

•In the patient subgroup treated in the ThermoDox® arm whose RFA procedure lasted longer than 45 minutes and was completed within 90 minutes (40% of single lesion patients) Overall Survival improved by 71% (Hazard Ratio of 0.585) when compared to the control arm of RFA treatment only.
•In the patient subgroup treated in the ThermoDox® arm whose RFA procedure lasted longer than 90 minutes (23% of single lesion patients), Overall Survival improved by similar 71% (Hazard Ratio of 0.584) when compared to the control arm of RFA treatment only.
•When combined, these two subgroups show clinical results that indicate a 61% improvement in Overall Survival, a Hazard Ratio of 0.623 and a P-value = 0.058.
•In contrast, the patient subgroup treated with ThermoDox® whose RFA procedure lasted less than 45 minutes in duration (37% of single lesion patients) indicated that the control arm had a slightly improved Overall Survival benefit when compared to the ThermoDox® arm.
•The Hazard Ratio reported above should be viewed with caution since they are not statistically significant and the HEAT Study has not reached its median point for Overall Survival analysis.  Celsion continues to follow all patients in the HEAT Study to the secondary endpoint, Overall Survival, and will update the subgroup analysis based on RFA heating duration.
Celsion also sponsored a symposium in conjunction with the ILCA conference moderated by Professor Riccardo Lencioni, MD, FSIR, EBIR, the Director of the Division of Diagnostic Imaging and Intervention at Pisa University School of Medicine in Italy.   Participants included Professor Josep Llovet, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Director, Mount Sinai Liver Cancer Program, Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Ghassan K. Abou-Alfa MD, PhD, Associate Attending Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, Associate Professor, Weill Medical College at Cornell University, New York, NY, and Associate Professor, Gastrointestinal Oncology Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY; and Professor Ronnie T.P. Poon, MD, PhD.  The discussion focused on new developments in the treatment of early-intermediate HCC including the updated data from the Company's HEAT Study post-hoc analysis as well as computer modeling with supplementary preclinical animal studies supporting the relationship between heating duration and clinical outcomes.

•Results from a finite element method model that simulates temperature, perfusion contours with RFA treatments and allow prediction of drug deposition contour maps with the combined use of RFA and ThermoDox®, show a direct correlation with heating time and amount of drug deposited to the tumor margin, where both adequate heat and tissue perfusion exist.
•Results from recently completed large animal studies (21 subject porcine study) demonstrate that longer RFA heating (dwell) time results in higher local tissue concentrations of ThermoDox® in the surrounding ablation zone.  
Professor Riccardo A. Lencioni commented, "After reviewing the complete and subgroup analysis of the Phase III HEAT Study as well as the recently completed porcine study, I am convinced ThermoDox® demonstrates clinical activity in a highly responsive population of single lesion patients.  The duration of heat from the RFA procedure is an important factor in a successful clinical outcome when combined with ThermoDox® as demonstrated by the growing body of clinical and non-clinical data generated by the Company.  These findings build a solid scientific foundation of understanding that increased perfusion and longer heating duration are key factors for ensuring that the heat-sensitive liposomes are activated to deposit high concentrations of doxorubicin in the tumor and the surrounding liver tissue."

ILCA has selected the HEAT Study presentation to be webcast as part of an online educational program of the ILCA 2013 Annual Conference.  Professor Poon's presentation will also be available on Celsion's website at investor.celsion.com/events.cfm.

The International Liver Cancer Association is the only international organization devoted exclusively to liver cancer research for experts from all related disciplines – medical, interventional and surgical oncology as well as hepatology.  ILCA's Executive Committee consists of Dr. Josep M. Llovet (President); Professor Riccardo Lencioni and Dr. Morris Sherman.  Celsion notes that Professors Lencioni and Poon and Dr. Sherman are principal investigators on the HEAT Study.

Steht in den News hier bei ARIVA...

Das nenn ich mal einen schönen Anstieg :-)

wenns so weiter geht kommt bald der nächste RS !

wieder mal einen Schub bringen

soll mal wieder über 4$ schliessen

Premarket sieht super aus
www.nasdaq.com/symbol/clsn/premarket

zum Schluß wirds wieder ein minus !

mal schauen obs hält !

Müsste nur mal nachhaltiger sein.

Sollte noch ein Stück höher gehen in der kommenden Woche!
