Q&A: Senesco's SNS01-T as a new approach to treating B-cell cancers that can be modified for all cancers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shares of emerging micro-cap Senesco Technologies (NYSE MKT: SNT) have started
to wake up after they reported on Monday on the progress of its Phase 1b/2a
study for the treatment of multiple myeloma, which is the subject of a poster
presented today at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical
Oncology.
The firm is not your typical biotech firm. They are engaged in the research and
development of genetic technologies that improve commercial agriculture-- and
treat major medical conditions in humans. While most, frankly, have been
skeptical that Senesco's platform technology would work. It appears that there
may be something going on scientifically, after all. The company's science is
based on the identification and characterization of specific genes that are
responsible for plant cell death (senescence) and for programmed cell death in
humans (apoptosis).
SNS01-T is a novel approach to cancer therapy that is designed to selectively
trigger apoptosis in B-cell cancers such as multiple myeloma, and, mantle cell
and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Senesco is the sponsor of the Phase 1b/2a
study that is actively enrolling patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, the
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, and the Mary Babb
Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown, WV. What caused the excitement is the fact
that so far one patient has completed the 6 week dosing schedule. This patient's
disease was considered stable, no disease progression, based on key disease
markers including monoclonal protein when evaluated at the end of weeks 3 and 6.
Les Browne, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Senesco has
commented further on the surprising findings and his exclusive in-depth
interview with BioMedReports is now available at:
