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).
