Date:11/16/2010

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, MedImmune announced that researchers will present data from its oncology portfolio, including new clinical data, at two upcoming medical congresses in Europe and the United States.

"At MedImmune, we are thinking about cancer and treatment in new ways, using insights and understanding of the disease to discover breakthrough biologic therapies that can be used to treat specific cancers for the individual patient," said Jerry McMahon, Senior Vice President and Oncology Innovative Medicines Unit Leader.  "We are excited about the progress of the oncology portfolio and are looking forward to its advancement of multiple oncology products into expanded clinical studies in the near future."  

With innovative antibody and biologic technologies, the MedImmune Oncology pipeline is focusing on developing new therapies to eliminate cancer cells in more effective and targeted ways.  This research is addressing the key areas critical to the development and progression of cancer: immune-mediated killing, vascular modulation, growth factor, and survival signaling.  

"The identification of novel cancer drug targets and associated biologic markers has not only altered the way we view cancer, but is truly revolutionizing our standard of care," said Bahija Jallal, Executive Vice President Research and Development at MedImmune.  "It is this research, with products like moxetumomab pasudotox (CAT-8015), that will help develop more effective solutions to targeting malignant tumor cells and providing a more personalized approach to medicine."

New data presentations

Four MedImmune-sponsored posters are being presented at the 22nd EORTC-NCI-AACR symposium on "Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics" starting on Tuesday, November 16 in Berlin.  EORTC-NCI-AACR is a joint meeting of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the National Cance
