Abraxis BioScience Presents Pre-Clinical Findings That Support Role,of SPARC Expression in Cancer and the Role of the Nanoparticle,Albumin Bound (nab) Technology Platform in Targeting the Pathway

investigation, the existence of this spliced variant in human may explain the evolution biology of SPARC and enhance the understanding of SPARC roles in carcinogenesis (Abstract #2778; Identification of a Splice Variant of Human SPARC mRNA with a Q3 Deletion).

The results of these pre-clinical studies support previous findings presented at the 2006 AACR conference, which demonstrated an increase in tumor response with nab-paclitaxel in SPARC-positive, head-and-neck cancer patients (83 percent) versus SPARC-negative, head-and-neck cancer patients (25 percent).

Abraxis continues to explore the role of nab-technology for targeting SPARC and other biological pathways, as well as for the development of new therapeutic candidates such as nab-docetaxel (ABI-008), the mTOR inhibitor nab-rapamycin (ABI-009), and the HSP90 inhibitor nab-17-AAG (ABI 010), among others.

About nab(TM) Technology Platform

Developed by Abraxis BioScience, nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab(TM)) tumor-targeting technology harnesses the unique natural properties of the human protein albumin, to transport and deliver therapeutic agents to the site of disease. The binding of albumin to the anticancer agent creates nanometer-sized particles, which are approximately 1/100th the size of a single red blood cell. These nab particles are readily incorporated into the body's own transport processes and are able to exploit the tumors' attraction to albumin, enabling the delivery of higher concentrations of the active drug to the target site. This may lead to an increase in the drug's antitumor effect and the potential for an effective response. In addition, nab technology offers the ability to improve a drug's solubility by avoiding the need for toxic chemicals, such as solvents, in the administration process, thus potentially improving safety through the elimination of solvent-related side effects.

Abraxis BioScience received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
