Positive Ergebnisse einer Phase I-Studie

Bereits Ende 2007 hat Ariad von guten Ergebnissen einer vorklinischen Studie eines Ariad-eigenen Kinase-Hemmers, AP24534, berichtet. Der Wirkstoff AP24534 wurde nun in einer Phase I Studie als erfolgsversprechend getestet, und das hebt den Kurs von Ariad heute um mehr als 40% an. Bis zur Marktreife dieses API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) werden allerdings noch einige Studien nötig sein, aber Ariad hat ja auch noch Ridaforolimus (zuvor als Deforolimus bekannt) in der Pipeline, der zusammen mit Merck & Co (WKN 851719; ISIN US5893311077; Symbol MRK) zur Marktreife gebracht werden soll. Ridaforolimus ist in seiner letzten kinischen Studienprüfung und die Ergebnisse werden wohl im 1. Quartal 2010 veröffentlicht. Mal sehen was der Kurs dann für Sprünge macht.

mit Cell; das dauert wohl  noch ein weilchen - mit Sicherheit ein interessanter Wert - der wohl in jeder W - Liste gut  aufgehoben ist -

die brauchen natürlich noch starke Partnerschaften damit Sie Ihre Phase 3 auch bezahlen können - da kommt noch einiges an Kosten auf die zu - Tippe auch auf  weitere Kapitalerhöhungen - im Moment verbrennen  die ja so schon sehr viel Geld -  2010 sind es 147MIo gewesen  und 2009 waren es 117 Millionen

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Mar 17, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

ARIAD
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARIA) today announced that it has
elected to exercise its option with Merck & Co., Inc., to co-promote
ridaforolimus, an investigational mTOR inhibitor, in the sarcoma
indication upon its potential approval in the United States next year.



Based on the terms of the license agreement that ARIAD and Merck entered
into in May 2010 for the development, manufacture and commercialization
of ridaforolimus in oncology, ARIAD has the option to co-promote
ridaforolimus with up to 20 percent of the sales effort for the product
in all indications in the U.S., and Merck will compensate ARIAD for its
sales efforts.


"The decision to co-promote ridaforolimus upon potential launch in 2012
is consistent with our plans to build a fully integrated commercial
oncology company and dovetails with the potential launch of ponatinib,
our investigational pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor, in patients with resistant or
intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia in late 2012 or early 2013," stated
Harvey J. Berger, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of ARIAD.


"By co-promoting ridaforolimus in the U.S., ARIAD will contribute to its
commercial success in the sarcoma indication, gain important commercial
experience in oncology prior to ponatinib's potential approval and
maintain close visibility on Merck's progress and plans for
commercializing ridaforolimus in other cancer indications," he added.


Details of the co-promotion will be finalized in a co-promotion
agreement to be negotiated by ARIAD and Merck. Merck has indicated its
intention to file for marketing approval of ridaforolimus in patients
with metastatic sarcomas this year.

Bei Ariad gehen sie wohl alle davon aus, das Ridaforolimus erfolgreich eine Zulassung bekommt. Das ist zwar nicht gänzlich ausgeschlossen, aber das Risiko trägt ja zum größten Teil jetzt Merck & Co, weil die auch die weiteren Entwicklungs- und Zulassungskosten tragen. Dennoch ist so ein Zulassungprozess eine sehr aufwendige Prozedur, und es besteht durchaus die Möglichkeit, dass die Zulassung erst mal versagt wird im ersten Anlauf. Die Versagung der Zulassung hängt nicht alleine davon ab, ob ein Medikament also solches eine Wirksamkeit gegen eine bestimmte Krankheit aufweist. Das sind häufig auch viele andere Formalismen, wie Nebenwirkungen, oder auch bürokratische Hemmnisse. Ridaforolimus als solches ist wirksam gegen verschiedene Krebsarten, das hat die SUCCEED-Studie ja bewiesen, deren vorläufiges Endergebnis bereits im Oktober letzten Jahres kurz angekündigt war. Und es gibt ja schon ähnliche Struktur-verwandte Macrolide, die bereits am Markt erfolgreich eingesetzt sind, aber eben hauptsächlich in der intravenösen Applikation.
Wenn die Zulassung durch die FDA in so einem halben Jahr erfolgen sollte, kann man davon ausgehen, dass sich die Marktkapitalisierung von Merck, aber auch in geringerem Masse bei Ariad weiter erhöht, da man dann auf dem Markt auch verkaufen darf.
Wenn die Zulassung durch die FDA aber, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, im ersten Anlauf versagt wird, dann sehen wir hier eventuell nochmals Kurse bei oder unter $2.00. Das heisst dann aber noch nicht das endgültige Aus für Ridaforolimus, sondern man wird es nochmals probieren, weil das ein wichtiger Markt ist, der bedient werden kann. Und Ariad hat noch weitere, sehr erfolgversprechende Produkte in der Pipeline, deren Zulassung aber noch ein wenig aus ist.

Nach Hochstufung auf "outperform" bei Kursziel $10.00 durch Williams Capital deutlich erhöhtes Volumen.

"Williams Capital analysts initiated coverage on shares of Ariad Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ: ARIA). They set an “outperform” rating and a $10.00 price target on the stock. They noted that the move was a valuation call."

Title: ARIAD to Present at the Leerink Swann Cancer Roundtable Conference

Date(s): 31-Mar-2011 7:38 AM

For a complete listing of our news releases, please click here


CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Mar 31, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

ARIAD
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA) today announced that it will
present at the Leerink Swann Cancer Roundtable Conference being held at
the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, New York on Thursday, April 7,
2011. Harvey J. Berger, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer at
ARIAD, will provide an overview of the Company's strong oncology
pipeline and progress on its three lead compounds at 3:30 p.m. (ET).
Timothy P. Clackson, Ph.D., president of research and development and
chief scientific officer at ARIAD, will participate on a lymphoma and
leukemia discussion panel at 2:15 p.m. (ET).



Dr. Berger's presentation will be webcast live and can be accessed by
visiting the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.ariad.com/investor.
A replay of the presentation will be available on the ARIAD website
approximately twenty-four hours after the presentation and will be
archived for three weeks.
 

In mouse models of FGFR-driven tumors, daily oral dosing of ponatinib
reduced tumor growth and inhibited signaling in all 3 FGFR-driven models
examined. Ponatinib reduced tumor growth by 80 percent in mouse models
of bladder and endometrial cancers and induced tumor regression in a
model of gastric cancer. Potency was similar to that previously observed
in BCR-ABL-driven models of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Importantly,
the Phase 1 trial of ponatinib in CML shows that plasma concentrations
of ponatinib required for inhibition of all four FGFRs can be sustained
at well-tolerated doses in patients.


"These data demonstrate, for the first time, that in addition to its
profile as a pan-inhibitor of BCR-ABL, ponatinib is also an
investigational pan-FGFR inhibitor," stated Timothy
P. Clackson, Ph.D., president of research and development and chief
scientific officer at ARIAD. "The data also show that ponatinib potently
inhibits the activity of all four FGFRs at clinically achievable drug
levels and provide strong rationale for ponatinib's evaluation in
patients with FGFR-driven cancers."
 

Initial clinical proof of concept has already been demonstrated by
partners and collaborators for two product candidates, which utilize
ARIAD's small-molecule dimerizer drug AP1903, in patients with prostate
cancer and in patients with hematologic malignancies who have undergone
hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). ARIAD expects its partner to
start Phase 2 clinical trials of both product candidates by early 2012.
AP1903 was discovered and developed by ARIAD scientists.


The technology also provides a family of versatile tools for drug
discovery and biological research. Certain of the underlying
intellectual property was licensed from Harvard and Stanford
Universities. The ARGENT technology was developed and further optimized
by ARIAD scientists using their expertise in structure-based design and
genetics.


"Through the creative licensing of the ARGENT technology in multiple
transactions, we are able to leverage our early investment in this
innovative science and benefit from other companies' expertise in three
distinct areas, while maintaining our focus on our core oncology
therapeutic programs," stated Timothy P. Clackson, Ph.D., president of
research and development and chief scientific officer of ARIAD. "Each of
these transactions provides the opportunity for building short-term and
long-term value for ARIAD, at no further cost to us."


Expanded License Agreement with Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.


ARIAD and Bellicum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., along with their academic
colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine, have been collaborating for
many years. The two companies have now broadened their previous
agreement as a result of promising clinical data from Phase 1/2 trials
of Bellicum's ARGENT-regulated cancer vaccine and cell-therapy product
candidates, both utilizing AP1903 to achieve chemical induction of
dimerization (CID).


Bellicum's first product candidate, BPX-101 DeCIDe(TM) immunotherapy, is an
autologous dendritic-cell cancer vaccine that includes an
ARGENT-inducible regulatory construct. In the Phase 1/2 trial of
patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer at The
University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, patients received
the Bellicum immunotherapy followed by AP1903 one day later. Data from
the study showed that this small-molecule regulated immunotherapy was
well tolerated and elicited both clinical and antigen-specific immune
responses consistent with patient benefit in prostate cancer.


Bellicum's second product candidate, CaspaCIDe(TM) DLI, is a donor
lymphocyte infusion that contains the ARGENT-inducible safety switch.
This is administered following a T-cell-depleted HSCT. In an
investigator-sponsored Phase 1/2 trial also at Baylor College of
Medicine, pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute
myeloid leukemia undergoing HSCT received the CaspaCIDe cell therapy
followed by administration of AP1903 upon diagnosis of graft-vs-host
disease (GvHD). Interim data from the study showed that this
small-molecule regulated cell therapy was well tolerated and rapidly
reversed the deleterious systemic effects of GvHD.


ARIAD's expanded exclusive agreement with Bellicum now covers products
to treat the complications of cell transplantation, such as GvHD, in
addition to certain cancer immunotherapies. ARIAD has an equity stake in
Bellicum and is eligible to receive milestones on regulatory and
clinical progress and royalties on future product sales. Bellicum is
responsible for all manufacturing, regulatory and clinical activities
and will hold the investigational new drug applications for these
programs.


ReGenX Biosciences to Develop ARGENT Gene Therapy Applications


ARIAD and ReGenX Biosciences, LLC along with their academic colleagues
at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, have collaborated on
the development of regulated in vivo production of therapeutic
proteins for many years. Previous collaborative studies in non-human
primates established proof of concept showing sustained regulated
production of a therapeutic protein in response to ARIAD's
small-molecule dimerizer drugs for over six years.


ARIAD has exclusively licensed the applications of the ARGENT technology
for regulated gene therapy to ReGenX. ReGenX is combining the ARGENT
technology with its proprietary NAV(TM) gene-delivery technology, thereby
providing a means of pharmacologic control of gene expression and the
potential for greater safety and efficacy in certain disease
applications. The NAV technology is based on over a decade of research
by the founders of ReGenX, funded in part by GlaxoSmithKline plc and
based on a long-standing commitment by the University of Pennsylvania.
ReGenX initially plans to develop the ARGENT products for specific
ocular diseases, metabolic disorders, and infectious diseases, in each
case where precise control of protein production is needed to achieve
the desired patient benefit. Initial applications will involve the use
of another one of ARIAD's portfolio of small-molecule dimerizer drugs,
AP22594, which has been optimized for these uses.


Under the terms of the agreement, ReGenX has exclusive rights to the
ARGENT technology in the development and commercialization of human
therapeutics and vaccines based on in vivo gene delivery. ARIAD
has an equity stake in ReGenX and will receive clinical and regulatory
milestones and royalties on products developed and commercialized
utilizing the ARGENT technology, as well as a portion of sublicensing
revenues.


Research Reagent License with Clontech Laboratories


ARIAD has exclusively licensed the ARGENT technology for use in the
research market to Clontech Laboratories, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc. and a specialty research reagents company
with a substantial profile in molecular and cell biology.


Approximately 2000 academic investigators in over 35 countries worldwide
have used the ARGENT technology in diverse areas of research, including
cancer biology, and more than 400 scientific papers describing its use
have been published. For more than ten years, ARIAD has provided the
ARGENT technology to academic investigators in the form of Regulation
Kits through its web-based Regulation Kit program.


Clontech will assume full responsibility for supplying the technology
worldwide for research applications and will expand ARIAD's current
Regulation Kit program with the goal of making the technology more
broadly available to scientists for in vitro and in vivo
use. ARIAD will continue to manufacture and will supply to Clontech
small-molecule dimerizers specifically designed for use with research
kits. Clontech expects to expand the utility of the ARGENT Regulation
Kit program by combining it with its other core research technologies
including its LivingColors(R) fluorescent proteins and Lenti-X(TM)
viral expression systems, and by expanding access to inducible animal
models of human pathophysiology.


ARIAD will receive an upfront payment from Clontech, as well as payments
for sale of dimerizer reagents to Clontech for its further sale. ARIAD
also will receive milestones based on Clontech achieving predefined
annual sales levels and royalties on net sales of all products
incorporating the ARGENT technology, as well as a portion of
sublicensing revenues.


"These three separate initiatives to license the ARGENT technology
portfolio provide ARIAD with long-term value linked to equity stakes,
milestones and royalties, as well as near-term value through up-front
payments and fees," stated Harvey J. Berger, M.D., chairman and chief
executive officer of ARIAD. "These licenses allow us to focus on our
core oncology priorities while continuing to benefit from this important
legacy technology that is already showing early clinical promise in
patients with cancer."

und im September bei den Roeadshows gehen wir auf die 20 USD - freue nich schon

 

Quartalszahlen sind kombiniert mit sehr gutem Fortschritt bei den Studien. Merck hat bereits Zulassungsantrag für Ridaforolismus gestellt, Zulassung wahrscheinlich im nächsten halben Jahr. Vorläufige klinische Ponatinib Ergebnisse (die zweite Substanz bei Ariad) schon bald erwartet, Patientenaufnahme für die Studien schon abgeschlossen. Die dritte Substanz bei Ariad, der ALK-Inhibitor (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) AP26113, ähnlich dem von Pfizer bereits bekanntem Crizotinib (PF-02341066) ( siehe Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crizotinib ) geht in die klinische Prüfung.    
Ariad erhält demnach bald weitere Meilensteinzahlungen.

Nachzulesen unter:
www.marketwatch.com/story/...s-2011-08-02?reflink=MW_news_stmp

... dass alle Unterlagen zur Prüfung des Zulassungsantrages für Ridaforolimus vollständig eingereicht wurden:
www.marketwatch.com/story/...ational-mtor-inhibitor-2011-10-05

Wie man der Meldung entnehmen kann, wird der Antrag nicht im fast-track Verfahren begutachtet, sondern im normalen Verfahren (Dauer 1 Jahr), weil die FDA anscheinend der Meinung ist, dass es bereits genug gut wirksame Anti-Tumormedikamente am Markt gibt, so dass eine ausreichend gute medizinische Versorgung/Behandlung möglich ist. Allerdings bietet Ridoforolimus eben den Vorteil, dass es einen neuartigen Wirkmechanismus bei oraler Gabe hat, und somit eine bessere Marktdurchdringung geben könnte. Entscheidend wird sein, wie die Patienten auf die Vorzüge gegenüber anderen Mitteln reagieren.
Eine Zulassung kann natürlich auch erst einmal versagt werden, so dass dies in einem solchen Falle sicherlich nochmals zu einem starken Kursrückgang führen wird. Im Moment ist der Kurs recht hoch, und wird bei einer Versagung der Zulassung sicherlich um 50 Proz. oder mehr nochmals einsacken. Jedoch denke ich, dass der neuartige und einzigartige Wirkmechanismus von Ridaforolimus eine Alternative zu herkömmlichen Therapien ermöglicht. Ich schätzte eine Zulassungswahrscheinlichkeit von > 90% für Ridaforolimus spätestens nach dem zweiten Anlauf, wenn der erste Antrag abgelehnt werden sollte.

hab ich mich verrechnet oder hat die Aktie einen KGV von 77?
Wenn ich mich nicht verrechnet habe ist die Aktie leicht überbewertet! (Sarkasmus!)

Hast Recht, da stimmt was nicht bei der Aktie, hier gibt's keine Dividende. Ist wahrscheinlich ein Scam, so ähnlich wie bei Genta (WKN A1H6PM ; ISIN US37245M8010). Hab mir neulich auch gedacht, dass die Ariad Aktie viel zu teuer ist, in Anbetracht dessen, das die noch nichts am Markt haben. Der Nennwert der Ariad Aktie ist übrigens bei $0.001. Die Genta Aktie hat den gleichen Nennwert, also $0.001. Genta's Aktienkurs hat derzeit gerade den richtigen Wert, den Nennwert, aber beide Firmen entwickeln schliesslich einen oral wirksamen anti-Tumor Wirkstoff. Ist die Frage, wo man mehr Potential sieht? Sollte also auch noch viel Potential nach unten sein. Wer bringt also schneller ein Medikament durch die Instanzen? Genta oder Ariad?
