Peregrine Awarded European Patent For Innovative Labeling Technology Featured In New Study In The Journal Of Nuclear Medicine
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPHM) today announced that it has been awarded a European patent for a novel device and methods for linking biological agents to labels for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The technology, which is known as In-Line labeling, was developed for the production of radiolabeled anti-cancer antibodies, but is applicable to other agents as well. A study published today in the July 2009 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine confirms that In-Line labeling can dramatically reduce the complexity and cost of producing radiolabeled cancer drugs(1). In-Line labeling is already being used for the production of Peregrine"s radiolabeled antibody Cotara(R), currently in Phase II trials for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, a deadly form of brain cancer.

Tragic Death Highlights Perils Of Binge Drinking, UK

Commenting on the tragic death of 22-year-old Gary Reinbach, who died as a result of binge drinking since the age of 13, Dr Peter Carter, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: "First and foremost we extend our sympathy to Gary Reinbach"s family who will be grieving the loss of a man who should have had many years to look forward to. It is a tragedy that the binge drinking crisis in this country has claimed the life of a young man and it highlights just how damaging binge drinking can be and should serve as a warning to others. "Alcohol misuse is an issue that nurses are faced with on a daily basis, and a major health concern. Excessive drinking is both a cultural and a regulatory problem. We need more effective regulation that ensures retailers don"t engage in unscrupulous practises which encourage customers to drink to excess. It is important that alcoholic drinks are clearly labelled so people realise just how much they are drinking. At the same time, we need to step up public health campaigns that educate the public about the dangers of binge drinking." Royal College of Nursing (RCN)
