<p>Revalesio Corporation is presenting pre-clinical data at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions demonstrating the use of RNS60 may have beneficial effects on cardiac damage associated with heart attacks.  The AHA Scientific Sessions are the preeminent cardiovascular meeting for researchers and clinicians and is being held November 12-16 in Orlando, Florida.<span id="more-1060"></span></p>
<p>In this pilot, pre-clinical ischemia/reperfusion pig model of heart attacks, RNS60 reduced the mortality and reduced signs of heart tissue damage and overall inflammation in male pigs.  In both male and female pigs, RNS60 lowered troponin levels (a marker of heart damage) and normalized ECG (electrocardiogram) tracings.  Data from this study will be presented via poster session (#17400) on November 14th..  These results indicate that RNS60 may have promise in the treatment of reperfusion injury following a heart attack.</p>
<p>In addition to the data being presented at the AHA meeting, Revalesio has successfully completed a first-in-man clinical trial of RNS60 using intravenous (I.V.) dosing as a first step in evaluating the use of RNS60 for the treatment of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI/heart attacks).  The study, conducted in conjunction with Quintiles in Overland Park, Kansas, met all safety endpoints and supports the unparalleled safety profile of RNS60.</p>
<p>This data indicates RNS60 may provide an important new treatment option for patients suffering from AMI. Further research of RNS60 is being conducted in pre-clinical models and a Phase II clinical trial in patients suffering from AMI is development for 2012.</p>
<p><b>About RNS60</b><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Date: October 31, 2011</p>
<p>Tacoma, WA – Revalesio Corporation will present clinical efficacy and safety data for RNS60 at the annual ACAAI meeting in Boston, November 3-8. ACAAI (American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology) is a professional association with more than 5,000 members devoted to the specialty of allergy and immunology.<span id="more-1041"></span></p>
<p>In this first in man asthma study, RNS60 demonstrated therapeutic benefit and proved safe at all dose levels. In a multi-dose stage of the Phase I study, RNS60 significantly improved peak flows and quality of life scores in patients diagnosed with stable, mild to moderate asthma. These findings demonstrate that RNS60, a novel product containing charge-stabilized nanostructures (CSN), is safe and has therapeutic benefit in human subjects suffering from asthma.</p>
<p>These data suggest CSN solutions provide an opportunity for the development of a new generation of low-risk therapeutics for inflammatory pulmonary diseases. The therapeutic activity seen in Revalesio’s RNS60 is a promising alternative to steroid treatments currently used to control asthma exacerbations.</p>
<p>Revalesio has initiated a further clinical investigation of RNS60 in asthma in combination with the inhaled steroid budesonide. The study will evaluate RNS60 in combination with high and low dose budesonide over a 28 day period to evaluate the effect of the paired therapy on FEV1 scores and other respiratory parameters.</p>

<p>Revalesio, a pioneering biotechnology company based in Tacoma, recently signed an 18-month contract with the Katze lab at the University of Washington to bring hope to sufferers of influenza, HIV and hepatitis C.<span id="more-1022"></span></p>
<p>(Revalesio said it does not disclose financial terms of research agreements.)</p>
<p>“We are excited to work with Dr. Katze, a world-class researcher in his field,” said Richard Watson, director of clinical science at Revalesio.</p>
<p>Michael Katze, a professor of microbiology, director of the Center for Systems and Translational Research on Infectious Disease and associate director of the Washington National Primate Research Center, runs a lab of 35 researchers focused on systems biology approaches to define and model virus-host interactions and the varied strategies used by viruses to evade cellular defense mechanisms.</p>
<p>The lab studies a wide range of viral pathogens, including hepatitis C, influenza, ebola, West Nile, SARS-associated coronavirus, herpes simplex virus and human and simian immunodeficiency viruses.The agreement with Revalesio will test whether the firm&#8217;s anti-inflammatory technology has an effect on influenza, HIV and hepatitis C viruses. Virus infection will be a new area of exploration for Revalesio.</p>
<p>Katze said that the systems biology approaches his lab uses allows researchers to gain a more global view of the complex interactions that occur when a cell encounters a pathogen. He said these approaches hold great potential to help elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which therapeutic agents work to combat a pathogen and thus impact the disease process.</p>
<p>Revalesio has partnered with leaders in biomedical research around the world to develop its anti-inflammatory technology for the treatment of a wide range of inflammatory diseases such as asthma, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease using an approach called  charge-stabilized nanostructure technology.</p>
<p>Revalesio is a pioneer in the novel use of charge-stabilized nanostructures as therapeutic agents. According to researchers, charge-stabilized nanostructures alter a cell’s ability to transmit signals through voltage-gated ion channels and other voltage-sensing proteins. Through these effects on the cell membrane, charge-stabilized nanostructures reduce inflammatory signals that are linked to numerous diseases, including neurodegenerative, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.</p>
<p>Revalesio is currently exploring therapeutic applications for asthma, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer&#8217;s, Parkinson&#8217;s and cystic fibrosis. The therapeutics for asthma and cardiovascular disease are now in clinical trials.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our motivation is to bring hope to people suffering from disease,” said Watson.</p>
<p>Watson said Revalesio wanted to work with the Katze lab because of the lab’s track record of applying cutting edge technologies in combination with traditional virology techniques to understand biological response.</p>
<p>Katze said his lab is looking forward to exploring Revalesio&#8217;s approach.</p>
<p>&#8220;The therapeutics that they have under development are very promising in many disease areas,&#8221; he said. “Our hope is that this collaboration will expedite the development of a promising new therapy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Revalesio has also signed a master agreement with UW, which will facilitate future collaborations between the University and the biotech firm.</p>

<p>Revalesio Corporation, a pioneering biotechnology company, and Rush University will present research on the use of RNS60 in Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) meeting April 9-16 in Honolulu, Hawaii.<span id="more-816"></span></p>
<p>“The data we’re presenting at AAN supports our work in establishing RNS60 as a strong therapeutic candidate across multiple inflammatory diseases,” said Richard Watson, M.D., Director of Clinical Research at Revalesio. “These findings, combined with the research recently presented at the American Society for Neurochemistry and American Academy of Asthma Allergy and Immunology, create a strong foundation for our development of novel CSN-based therapeutics to improve the outcomes of patients with inflammatory diseases. Combined with the excellent safety profile of RNS60 to date, the findings make a strong case for testing RNS60 in clinical trials,” said Dr. Watson.</p>
<p>Revalesio will present data at the national conference from studies in multiple preclinical models of Multiple Sclerosis that demonstrated a significant reduction in disease scores related to the use of RNS60. These results identify the strong potential of RNS60 as a low-risk therapeutic for treating Multiple Sclerosis.</p>
<p>Revalesio will also present data related to Alzheimer’s disease. In a well-established cell culture model of the disease, RNS60 dose-dependently inhibited the activation of a protein called Tau. Tau activation is a known cause behind the generation of neurofilament tangles often found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and is widely considered to be a contributor to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. RNS60 also protected neurons challenged with beta-amyloid from apoptosis (cell death).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Date: March 16, 2011</p>
<p>Tacoma, WA – Revalesio Corporation announced today that research related to the use of RNS60, its novel anti-inflammatory, will be featured in two poster presentations at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) in San Francisco on March 18-22.<span id="more-807"></span></p>
<p>AAAAI is the largest professional organization in the United States devoted to the specialty of allergy and immunology. It has nearly 6,500 members in the United States, Canada and 60 other countries.</p>
<p>Revalesio will present findings that demonstrate the novel anti-inflammatory activity of charge-stabilized nanostructures both in a preclinical model of allergic asthma and in cell culture experiments. These data suggest that Revalesio’s novel therapeutic RNS60 provides an opportunity for the development of a new generation of low-risk therapeutics for inflammatory pulmonary diseases.</p>
<p>In the preclinical model of asthma, RNS60 showed significant efficacy in the reduction of key inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6, interleukin-4, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), eotaxin and other cytokines known to be drivers of asthma. In addition to reducing inflammatory cytokines, RNS60 improved respiratory parameters compared to treatment with the inhaled corticosteroid budesonide.</p>
<p>The presented cell culture studies demonstrate the anti-inflammatory activity of RNS60 by decreasing the production of key inflammatory mediators of asthma, including C-C chemokine receptor type 3 (CCR3) and interleukin-8. The research also demonstrates that RNS60 exerts its effects through the modulation of whole cell conductance.</p>
<p>RNS60 is currently in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial at Stanford University for allergic asthma.</p>

<p>TACOMA, Wash. &#8211; Revalesio Corporation and Rush University will present research on the use of RNS60 at the American Society of Neurochemistry (ASN) meeting in St. Louis.<span id="more-797"></span></p>
<p>Researchers at Rush University Medical Center demonstrated profound anti-inflammatory activity of RNS60, a biologically active fluid possessing charge-stabilized nanostructures (CSN), in models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. These findings establish RNS60 as a strong candidate for further development as a novel therapeutic in neurodegenerative diseases.</p>
<p>The ASN’s annual conference, scheduled for March 16-18, brings together molecular and cellular neuroscientists to share the latest research and advance the field of neurology.</p>
<p><b>RNS60 demonstrates “protective” effect in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease</b></br><br />
Research conducted at Rush University revealed that RNS60 protected cultured cells against beta amyloid-induced cell death, a known driver of Alzheimer’s disease. Since RNS60 is unique in its anti-inflammatory activity, these results identify a novel approach to inhibiting neuronal damage from beta amyloid and potentially a new approach for treating Alzheimer’s disease.  Revalesio will present further research demonstrating the prevention of tau hyperphosphorylation – another key factor in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease – at the American Academy of Neurology meeting April 9-16 in Honolulu, HI.</p>
<p>At the ASN conference, Revalesio will also present data related to Parkinson’s disease. In a neurotoxin model of the disease, RNS60 protected neurons, restored dopamine levels, and improved the motor function of Parkinson’s affected mice.  These results suggest a potential therapeutic benefit of RNS60 for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease. </p>
<p><b>About charge-stabilized nanostructures (CSN)</b></br><br />
Revalesio has pioneered the novel use of charge-stabilized nanostructures to alter whole cell conductance through effects on voltage-gated ion channels and other voltage-sensing proteins, thereby modulating the expression of G protein-coupled receptors and the secretion of cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules.  These changes to whole cell conductance reduce inflammatory signals that are linked to numerous diseases, including neurodegenerative, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Predictive Biomarker Sciences will assess potential cancer treatment</i></p>
<p>Date: October 20, 2010</p>
<p>TACOMA, Wash. &#8211; Revalesio Corporation announced today that it has contracted with Predictive Biomarker Sciences (PBS-Bio) to conduct studies related to the use of Revalesio’s novel anti-inflammatory therapeutic in treating cancer.<span id="more-660"></span></p>
<p>To jump-start drug development, PBS-Bio’s analysis helps pharmaceutical companies better understand how their drugs work and identifies biomarkers that can help predict which patients will respond to treatment.</p>
<p>“We’re developing a new technology that has novel anti-inflammatory effects applicable to a broad range of diseases,” said Dr. Richard Watson, director of Clinical Science at Revalesio, based in Tacoma. “Working with PBS-Bio, we want to further investigate how our technology alters cell survival in a number of different cancer lines, specifically looking at the connection of specific signaling pathways to inflammatory processes and proliferation signaling in oncology.”</p>
<p>A biomedical company based in Tacoma, Revalesio is advancing an entirely new class of therapeutics that disrupts inflammatory pathways. The company’s pioneering research, including an ongoing clinical trial for asthma, shows strong clinical efficacy with a remarkable lack of toxicity.<br />
In addition to its work with PBS-BIO, Revalesio is developing treatments for cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other inflammatory mediated diseases.<br />
PBS-Bio will provide Revalesio with unique real-time looks at how its therapeutics actually work over time within cellular pathways — the so-called mechanisms of action, said Dr. Edward Smith, co-founder and CEO of PBS-Bio, based in Mesa, Ariz.</p>
<p>The analysis will support Revalesio’s efforts to develop novel therapeutic candidates containing “charged-stabilized nanostructures” to prevent inflammation and treat inflammatory mediated diseases without inhibiting normal cellular functions.</p>
<p>Charge-stabilized nanostructures (CSNs) are aqueous-based nano-bubble cores surrounded by a stable molecular scaffolding. CSNs interact with cells, specifically naïve immune cells, altering the surface of the cell membrane and preventing unwanted downstream cellular activity that causes inflammation.</p>
<p>“The charged-stabilized nanostructure is a platform from which we can create a variety of products as combination therapies or standalone therapeutics,” Dr. Watson said.</p>
<p>PBS-Bio is helping companies develop therapies against a variety of cancers. Most new cancer drugs fail in late-stage studies, and it can take as much as $1 billion and more than a decade to bring the drugs to market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i>Predictive Biomarker Sciences technology shows how drugs function along cellular pathways</i></p>
<p><b>MESA, Ariz. &#8211; Oct. 20, 2010</b> &#8211; In an industry that faces increasing challenges in delivering new drugs to patients, Predictive Biomarker Sciences (PBS-Bio) today announced three new contracts aimed at bringing new medicines to the marketplace.<span id="more-649"></span></p>
<p>PBS-Bio said it is helping more companies develop therapies against a variety of cancers. Most new cancer drugs fail in late-stage studies, and it can take as much as $1 billion and more than a decade to bring the drugs to market.</p>
<p>To jump-start drug development, PBS-Bio’s analysis helps pharmaceutical companies better understand how their drugs work, and identifies biomarkers that can help predict which patients will respond to treatment.</p>
<p>PBS-Bio’s three new pharmaceutical collaborators are:</p>
<li>ENDECE, a Mequon, Wis., company that discovered and is developing a family of anti-cancer compounds, including their lead compound NDC-1308, which target molecular “bioswitches” that control metabolic pathways impacting cancer cell growth.</li>
<li>Revalesio Corporation, a Tacoma, Wash., group developing novel therapeutic candidates containing “charged-stabilized nanostructures” to prevent inflammatory mediated diseases without inhibiting normal cellular functions.</li>
<li>Unibioscreen, a Brussels, Belgium, firm that is developing a promising anti-cancer drug called UNBS1450 — currently in European clinical trials.</li>
<p>These three small pharmaceutical companies are in addition to four collaborations in progress between PBS-Bio and four large pharma groups, said Dr. Edward Smith, co-founder and CEO of PBS-Bio, which is a privately held, Mesa-based for-profit corporation.</p>
<p>“We feel that we have reached critical momentum for the growth of PBS-Bio,” said Dr. Smith.  “The pharmaceutical industry is failing in their efforts to bring new cancer drugs to patients with only two drugs approved in 2009, and only two so far this year.  The problems are empty pipelines, and outdated methods of drug discovery and development.  Pharmaceutical companies are now seeing the value of the PBS-Bio dynamic technology to help bring more new cancer drugs to market faster and cheaper.”</p>
<p>In each case, connections to PBS-Bio were made through scientific networks involving the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), a Phoenix-based biomedical research facility.</p>
<p>And in each case, PBS-Bio is providing drug companies with unique real-time looks at how new therapeutics actually work over time within cellular pathways — the so-called mechanisms of action.</p>
<p><b>ENDECE</b></p>
<p>Rather than focusing on a single target or mutation, ENDECE’s approach is to identify key molecular switches that prevent tumors from growing out of control.</p>
<p>“We previously identified a primary mechanism of action for how NDC-1308 kills tumor cells.  However, the PBS-Bio technology will validate that mechanism and enable us to observe, in real time, the temporal order of changes for components of the pathways that control cancer cell growth,” said James Yarger, President and CEO of ENDECE.  “In addition, we may obtain data showing the impact, both positive and negative, of NDC-1308 on other cellular pathways.  With current technology, we have not been able to identify the temporal order of events.”</p>
<p>By working with PBS-Bio, Yarger said, his company also hopes to determine which cancer patients might be the best candidates for the drug and gain an understanding of what current cancer drugs, if any, would be appropriate candidates for combination drug therapies.</p>
<p>“Our bodies fight cancer cells every day, and in general our bodies do it very, very well. However, the appearance of cancerous tumors signifies uncontrolled cancer cell growth and proliferation.  When the body’s control over some of these pathways are lost, the cancer cells can grow out of control,” Yarger said.  “ENDECE’s focus is on novel therapies that enhance the body’s natural control over cancer cell growth.”</p>
<p>Although initially focused on lung and pancreatic cancer, Yarger said, “Our data supports the notion that NDC-1308 may control the growth of many kinds of aggressively growing cancers.  We hope to further verify this data with PBS-Bio’s technology.”</p>
<p><b>Revalesio</b></p>
<p>Revalesio is targeting inflammation associated with various inflammatory mediated diseases, including cancer, through the creation of charged-stabilized nanostructures, or CSNs.</p>
<p>CSNs are aqueous based nano-bubble cores surrounded by an ionic scaffolding stabilized with free energy.  CSNs interact with cells, specifically naïve immune cells, altering the surface of the cell membrane and preventing unwanted downstream cellular activity that causes inflammation.</p>
<p>“We’re developing a new technology that has novel anti-inflammatory effects applicable to a broad range of diseases,” said Dr. Richard Watson, Director of Revalesio’s Clinical Science.  This technology is under development for the treatment of asthma, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other inflammatory mediated diseases.</p>
<p>“The charged-stabilized nanostructure is a platform from which we can create a variety of products as combination therapies or standalone therapeutics,” Dr. Watson said.   “Working with PBS-Bio, we want to see how our technology alters cell-survival in a number of different cancer lines, specifically looking at the connection of specific signaling pathways to inflammatory processes and proliferation signaling in oncology.”</p>
<p><b>Unibioscreen</b></p>
<p>At hospitals in Belgium and the Netherlands, Unibioscreen has begun phase 1 clinical trials — first in human tests — with a drug called UNBS1450.</p>
<p>The drug is a hemi-synthetic derivative of a compound identified by Unibioscreen in the root bark of an African plant called Calotropis procera.  Pre-clinical tests have shown that UNBS1450 is very effective against various tumor types.</p>
<p>Unibioscreen CEO Christiane Verhaegen said the company wants to further decipher the mechanism of action of this novel drug candidate, in parallel with the ongoing clinical Phase I trial, to optimize the dose and schedule for the further development stages.</p>
<p>“This is a unique compound, that has shown to be very potent in pre-clinical tests. It is crucial for us to do the biomarker work with PBS-Bio, as this work helps us to get a more in-depth understanding of the mechanism and to define the most effective patient treatment,” Verhaegen said.</p>
<p><b>About ENDECE LLC</b></br><br />
ENDECE is a privately held, drug development company focused on first-in-class therapeutics for cancer.  ENDECE’s core business relies on the in-house rational design of new chemical entities that control molecular “switches” which impact cancer cell growth.  The company plans to take its lead candidate into the clinic in 2011.  ENDECE has filed multiple composition-of-matter and use patents on its compounds.  ENDECE is privately held and has raised over $13 million dollars from private investors. Please visit: <a href="http://www.endece.com" target="blank">www.endece.com</a>.</p>
