SMYD News:
February 4 - Samoyed Energy Corp. Enters into Letter of Intent with Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.
Samoyed Energy Corp. (OTCBB: SMYD) announced the signing of a letter of intent for a business combination with Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. ("AVRS") and other transactions that, upon completion, would result in the current shareholders of AVRS becoming owners of an aggregate of 140,000,000 shares of SMYD common stock, or approximately 86% of the then outstanding common stock of SMYD.
AVRS has developed a speech recognition system for computerized transcriptions that it believes is unique. AVRS's approach to the objective of speech recognition and conversion to text is a radical departure from ASR (automatic speech recognition) commercial "shrink wrap" type products. The AVRS technologies are referred to as Universal Human Interface Technology (UHITTM). AVRS's UHITTM technologies incorporate patented, patent pending and proprietary algorithms, software, hardware and marketing concepts. The UHITTM technologies are planned to offer broad, practical solutions for multi-user business, military, law enforcement and other network applications. AVRS has studied both the successes and failures of standard ASR and AVRS's UHIT based programs. AVRS intends to initially focus on the medical profession because of the profession's extensive use of dictation and its need for multiple applications of speech recognition technology in the generation of reports, documents and medical bills. AVRS has conducted commercial studies and beta testing with Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, UCSD Medical Center and selected transcription companies and VAR's.
In addition to the stock exchange between SMYD and the AVRS shareholders, the letter of intent also contemplates the transfer of all of SMYD's current oil and gas assets and liabilities to SMYD's largest shareholder in exchange for that shareholder's transfer to SMYD of 22,749,998 shares of SMYD common stock currently owned by it. Shareholders of SMYD will also return to the treasury 4,000,000 shares of SMYD common stock owned by them.
The full text of the letter of intent is attached to the company's 8-K report as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The letter of intent is an expression of intent only, and is subject to the parties entering into a formal exchange agreement. If the exchange agreement is not signed within 60 days, then the proposed business combination will expire.

SMIC News:
February 4 - Smith Investment Company Proposes Restructuring of Holdings in A. O. Smith Corporation
Smith Investment Company (OTC: SMIC) announced that it has made a proposal to restructure its holdings in A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE: AOS). The proposed transaction would result in the shareholders of Smith Investment having direct ownership of the same number and type of A. O. Smith shares currently held by Smith Investment. Smith Investment's common stock has been valued at a significant discount to the underlying value of the A. O. Smith shares held by Smith Investment. The proposed transaction is intended to allow Smith Investment's shareholders to realize the underlying value of Smith Investment's holdings in A. O. Smith and provide enhanced liquidity to Smith Investment's shareholders.
Pursuant to the proposed transaction, Smith Investment would be merged with a newly formed subsidiary of A. O. Smith. In the merger, Smith Investment's common stock would be exchanged for newly issued shares of A. O. Smith's class A common stock and common stock. It is intended that this exchange would be non-taxable to the shareholders of Smith Investment. Because the total number and type of A. O. Smith shares issued in the proposed transaction would equal the number and type of A. O. Smith shares currently held by Smith Investment, there would be no net change to the number of outstanding A. O. Smith shares. Prior to the merger, Smith Investment intends to distribute in a taxable transaction substantially all of its assets (other than its holdings in A. O. Smith) to the shareholders of Smith Investment. The proposal also contemplates that, prior to the merger, substantially all of Smith Investment's pre-closing liabilities would be discharged or assumed by the entity or entities in which Smith Investment's distributed assets are held.
A special committee comprised of two independent directors from Smith Investment's board of directors recommended the making of the proposal. The Smith Investment special committee was formed to consider possible transactions on behalf of the shareholders of Smith Investment other than certain members of the Smith family and trusts for the benefit of certain members of the Smith family. The Smith Investment special committee has engaged independent financial and legal advisors to assist it in completing its review. Smith Investment's board of directors has agreed that it will not approve any transaction without the prior recommendation of the Smith Investment special committee.
Before recommending the proposal, the Smith Investment special committee consulted with certain Smith Investment shareholders holding in the aggregate a majority of Smith Investment's common stock. These shareholders separately indicated to the Smith Investment special committee that they would support a transaction on substantially the terms proposed. These shareholders also separately indicated to the Smith Investment special committee that they would not support any alternative transaction that resulted in a sale of Smith Investment or otherwise eliminated or limited the dual class voting structure at A. O. Smith.
Smith Investment indicated that the proposal is preliminary, and remains subject to negotiation of definitive documentation and approval of the Smith Investment special committee and board of directors. The proposal also requires the approval of the A. O. Smith board of directors. A. O. Smith has not yet had an opportunity to respond to the proposal. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction or any other transaction will result from the proposal. Except if required by applicable law, Smith Investment does not intend to comment further on the proposal unless and until a definitive agreement with respect to a proposed transaction has been reached.

IDMI News:
February 4 - IDM Pharma Announces Phase 3 Mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE) Study Demonstrating Improved Survival Published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology
Children's Oncology Group Report Shows the Addition of L-MTP-PE to Chemotherapy Reduced the Risk of Death by 30% in Osteosarcoma Patients
IDM Pharma, Inc. (NASD: IDMI) announced the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) has published findings from the Phase 3 mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE) clinical trial (INT-0133), entitled "Osteosarcoma: The Addition of Muramyl Tripeptide to Chemotherapy Improves Overall Survival - A Report from the Children's Oncology Group." The landmark clinical trial, which is the largest study completed in this disease was a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded cooperative group study conducted by the Children's Oncology Group (COG).
The COG's findings were based on long-term follow up of 662 patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic osteosarcoma treated in the Phase 3 trial and demonstrated that the addition of L-MTP-PE to chemotherapy following surgery resulted in statistically superior Overall Survival (OS) the first stated aim of the study.
In the past two decades, there have been no treatment advances for patients with osteosarcoma, a rare and often fatal bone tumor that typically affects children and young adults.
"L-MTP-PE in combination with chemotherapy has demonstrated a significant long-term overall survival advantage in the largest Phase 3 clinical trial completed in patients with osteosarcoma," said Dr. Paul Meyers, vice chair, department of pediatrics at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and principal investigator of the Phase 3 trial. "These results are encouraging for children and young adults with osteosarcoma, considering the lack of progress for these patients in the last 20 years."
The JCO publication highlighting long-term follow up from this study formed the basis of the recent oral explanation to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), regarding the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for L-MTP-PE for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic, resectable osteosarcoma. Updated results from this study were previously presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) annual meeting in November 2007. In addition, the new JCO publication highlights the long-term OS data whereas a prior JCO publication in 2005 focused on an Event Free Survival (EFS) additional analysis.
"These findings of statistically superior overall survival in long-term patient follow-up validate the survival benefit offered by L-MTP-PE and underscore the desperate need for new treatments for osteosarcoma patients," said Timothy P. Walbert, president and chief executive officer, IDM Pharma. "We believe these findings were critical to the recent opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in Europe and are a positive step toward bringing this important treatment to the European market and potentially gaining approval in the United States."
Study design and findings:
The multicenter, open label, randomized, factorial, four parallel treatment group Phase 3 study was designed to evaluate the effects of patient outcome of the addition of L-MTP-PE to three-drug chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate) or four-drug-chemotherapy (cisplatin, doxorubicin, methotrexate, and ifosfamide) in patients with newly diagnosed resectable osteosarcoma without metastatic disease.
Patients received one of four prospectively randomized treatments and all patients received identical cumulative doses of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate and underwent definitive surgical resection of primary tumor. Patients were randomly assigned to receive or not to receive ifosfamide and/or MTP in a 2x2 factorial design.
In the published analysis, the chemotherapy regimens without L-MTP-PE resulted in similar OS and EFS. Overall Survival after six years of follow-up in patients treated with chemotherapy and L-MTP-PE was 78%, compared to 70% in patients treated only with chemotherapy (p=0.03). The addition of L-MTP-PE to chemotherapy resulted in approximately 30% decrease in the risk of death. EFS, an additional analysis which includes the occurrence of secondary malignancies, after six years of follow-up in patients treated with chemotherapy and L-MTP-PE was 67% compared to 61% in patients treated only with chemotherapy (p=0.08).
Treatment with L-MTP-PE was generally well tolerated in all phases of study. Adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and included chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, myalgia, headache, tachycardia (fast heart rate), hypo- and hypertension, fatigue and shortness of breath, all of which are consistent events with the activation of monocytes and macrophages by L-MTP-PE and the flu-like symptoms that follow cytokine release. These side effects are readily prevented or treated with acetaminophen.
L-MTP-PE Regulatory Status:
The Company recently announced that following presentation of data at an oral explanation hearing before the CHMP, the Committee determined in a non-binding opinion that L-MTPE-PE suggested a possible clinical benefit in terms of survival and granted the Company a clock stop, or time extension. The clock stop will allow the Company additional time to respond to all the remaining questions regarding the MAA.
The CHMP has requested clarification of the existing data in order to gain assurance about the quality of the data before drawing any final conclusions from the data presented. In addition, the Company is required to address a number of remaining questions relating to chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC). The Company now expects to receive a final opinion from the CHMP in the third quarter and a final decision from the European Commission in the fourth quarter of 2008.
L-MTP-PE was granted orphan drug status in Europe in 2004. The MAA for L-MTP-PE was submitted to the EMEA and accepted for review in November 2006.
As previously announced, in the United States the Company continues to work with COG as well as external experts and advisors to gather patient follow up data from the Phase 3 clinical trial of L-MTP-PE conducted by COG and to respond to other questions in the not approvable letter the Company received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
L-MTP-PE was granted orphan drug status in the United States in 2001. The new drug application (NDA) for L-MTP-PE was submitted to FDA in October 2006 and was accepted for review in December 2006.
ABOUT OSTEOSARCOMA
About 3 percent of all childhood cancers are osteosarcoma. Because osteosarcoma usually develops from osteoblasts, it most commonly affects children and young adults experiencing their adolescent growth spurt. Boys and girls have a similar incidence rate until later in their adolescence, when boys are more commonly affected. While most tumors occur in larger bones, such as the femur, tibia, and humerus, and in the area of the bone that has the fastest growth rate, they can occur in any bone. The most common symptom is pain, but swelling and limited movement can occur as the tumor grows.
Osteosarcoma is an orphan disease with fewer than 1,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. each year. A similar incidence of the disease exists in Europe. According to the Children's Oncology Group, the survival of children with osteosarcoma has remained at 60-65 percent since the mid-1980s. The standard treatment for osteosarcoma is tumor resection with combination chemotherapy before and after surgery.
