Medgenics (MDGN) Reports EPODURE to Be Presented at American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2012

QualityStocks would like to highlight Medgenics (NYSE: MDGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. Medgenics is developing an innovative and proprietary platform technology - a biological "Biopump" - which allows patients to produce, within their bodies and on a long-term basis, their own natural human protein therapy for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases, such as anemia and hepatitis C.

In the company’s news yesterday,

Medgenics announced that it will be presenting a poster at the upcoming American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2012, taking place in San Francisco from October 30 to November 4. The poster is titled “Novel Sustained delivery of Erythropoietin in Hemodialysis Patients for Safer Anemia Control Using EPODURE Biopumps – Autologous Dermal Tissue Samples Secreting Erythropoitein.”

The poster will present preliminary data from a Phase IIa clinical trial of EPODURE to treat anemia patients with end stage renal disease. EPODURE is an autologous dermal Biopump, implanted subcutaneously, capable of the sustained secretion of therapeutic erythropoitein (EPO) in the body using a small tissue explant from the patient’s own skin and processed to continuously produce EPO for many months.

Medgenics poster will actually be presented on Friday, November 2. It aims to bring this Biopump and others to market via strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
