GammaCan International, Announces Appointment of Lynn Schuchter M.D. to its Scientific Advisory Board

  
    
  
  
    
      GammaCan International, Inc.(OTC BB: GCAN) today announced the 
      appointment of Lynn Schuchter M.D. to the Company’s 
      Scientific Advisory Board.
    
    
      Dr. Schuchter, an oncologist whose research and clinical work is focused 
      on melanoma and breast cancer. Dr. Schuchter is also the Program Leader 
      of the Clinical Investigations Program at the Abramson Cancer Center of 
      the University of Pennsylvania.
    
    
      “We are extremely pleased that Lynn has joined 
      our Scientific Advisory Board. Lynn’s 
      involvement in the development of innovative approaches to melanoma 
      therapy provides a perfect fit with our goals to develop VitiGam to 
      treat stage III and IV melanoma. The entire Team at GammaCan is looking 
      forward to working with Lynn and warmly welcomes her”, 
      stated Patrick Schnegelsberg, CEO.
    
    
      About VitiGam:
    
    
      VitiGam is GammaCan's second generation intravenous IgG-based product 
      and a first-in-class anti-cancer immunotherapy. GammaCan plans on having 
      VitiGam enter phase I/II testing under a US IND in the near future after 
      recently holding a pre-IND meeting with the FDA. VitiGam is being 
      designed to target metastatic melanoma patients with Stage III and IV 
      melanoma. VitiGam is an IgG product that is different from standard 
      IgGs: It is manufactured from the plasma of donors with vitiligo, a 
      benign autoimmune skin condition affecting up to 2% of the general 
      population. GammaCan scientists have shown that this "enriched" vitiligo 
      IgG (VitiGam) contains potent anti-melanoma activity in both in vitro 
      and mouse xenograft melanoma models. Thus, GammaCan expects VitiGam to 
      provide (1) anti-melanoma activity directed specifically against 
      malignant melanoma cells and (2) non-specific anti-cancer activity - as 
      is the case with IgG in general.
    
    
      About GammaCan
    
    
      GammaCan is focusing on the commercialization of an innovative 
      anti-cancer immunotherapy to treat metastatic cancer. GammaCan's 
      platform is based on IVIg, a safe, relatively non-toxic human 
      plasma-based product, currently used to treat a variety of immune 
      deficiencies and autoimmune diseases. IVIg works by strengthening the 
      patient's immune system. Many experts currently view immunotherapy as a 
      future alternative to today's standard chemotherapy. GammaCan is 
      developing VitiGam, its second generation program. VitiGam is an IVIg 
      derived from the plasma of vitiligo donors and is being developed to 
      treat malignant melanoma. GammaCan owns, and has applied for US patent 
      protection covering the use of IVIg and vitiligo-derived IVIg (VitiGam).
