GammaCan International, Inc. (OTC BB: GCAN) today announced the appointment of Dr. Pearl Grimes, Founder & Director of the Vitiligo and Pigmentation Institute of Southern California and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of California, Los Angeles, to the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Grimes is nationally and internationally recognized for her work on pigmentary disorders. She lectures worldwide on pigmentary disorders including vitiligo, Melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to name a few. "We view the appointment of Dr Grimes to our SAB as critical to GammaCan's mission reaching out to the large population affected by Vitiligo whom Dr. Grimes has made her life's mission to help. Moreover, we see substantial synergies in our mutual interest involving the study of Vitiligo and thus in bringing VitiGam into the clinic and later on to the market," stated Patrick Schnegelsberg, CEO. Dr. Grimes is the past Assistant Editor of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, and has served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Clinical Dermatology, Practical Dermatology, and Skin & Allergy News. Dr. Grimes is presently a contributing editor to Cosmetic Dermatology. As founder of The Vitiligo and Pigmentation Institute of Southern California and its ongoing research program, Dr. Grimes' mission is to provide cutting edge therapies to patients suffering from vitiligo and other pigmentary disorders. She has authored over 100 publications and abstracts and is a member of: The American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatological Surgery, the American Dermatological Association, Society of Investigative Dermatology, Dermatology Foundation, and International Pigment Cell Society. Dr. Grimes is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri and completed her dermatology residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. 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 to enter phase I/II testing under a US IND in the near future after it recently held 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 IgG, a safe, relatively non-toxic human plasma-based product, currently used to treat a variety of immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases. IgG 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 IgG 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 IgG and vitiligo-derived IgG (VitiGam).
