ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RNN), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing potential best-in-class oncology therapies, today announced that it has been issued United States Patent, No. 8,598,173, which covers a method for treating solid cancer tumors including ovarian, breast, prostate, liver, lung, kidney, colon, pancreatic and stomach for its clinical development candidate SupinoxinTM (RX-5902). Rexahn had previously received a composition of matter patent from the United Stated Patent and Trademark Office covering the structure of Supinoxin.

“We are progressing on schedule with our Phase I dose-escalation clinical trial for Supinoxin in cancer patients with solid cancer tumors. Having initiated patient enrollment in August, we expect data in the first half of 2014, which will help inform the study design for future Phase II trials on Supinoxin,” stated Rexahn CEO Peter D. Suzdak, Ph.D.

“We are committed to developing cancer treatments that specifically target cancer cells, excluding healthy tissue, so that cancer can be treated with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity. Strengthening our IP portfolio as we advance in our clinical trials adds critical value to our company,” added Dr. Suzdak.

In-vitro studies have shown that Supinoxin reduces the spread of 18 different human cancer cells lines. Supinoxin has also shown that it can eliminate cancer cells which were resistant to other widely used cancer drugs including docetaxel, cisplatin and gemcitabine. Supinoxin is an orally available new chemical entity exhibiting potent antitumor properties in several types of tumors and has also show strong anti-proliferative activity against known anti-cancer drug-resistant cancer cells, and a synergistic effect with known anti-cancer drugs as well.

About SupinoxinTM (RX-5902)

Supinoxin is an orally administered, first-in-class, small molecule inhibitor of phosphorylated-p68 RNA helicase (P-p68). P-p68, which is selectively expressed in cancer cells but absent in normal tissue, increases the activity of multiple cancer related genes including cyclin D1, c-jun and c-myc, and plays a role in tumor progression and metastasis. Over-expression of P-p68 has been observed in solid tumors such as melanoma, colon, ovarian and lung.

FORT WORTH, TX–(Marketwired – Dec 10, 2013) – Good Earth Energy Conservation, Inc., a subsidiary of Numbeer, Inc. (OTCQB: NUMB) and provider of electric fleet vehicles for the essential services market, announced today it has received a purchase order for one Firefly® Essential Service Vehicle (ESV) from the City of Berkeley, California.

The made-in-the-USA 3-wheeled energy efficient Firefly® is scheduled for delivery to Berkeley in the first quarter of 2014. This marks the first Firefly® purchase by the City of Berkeley, which will use the electric vehicle for parking enforcement. Berkeley currently has approximately 50 vehicles in its parking enforcement fleet.

This sale was made through one of Good Earth Energy Conservation’s growing network of dealers, Santa Clara, California-based Turf and Industrial Equipment Company. “This purchase order from the City of Berkeley is another indicator of the interest we are seeing for the Firefly® in Northern California. We currently have an installed base of customers throughout our region and once we present the economic and environmental benefits of the Firefly® to our customers, we’re seeing immediate interest in purchases. We expect to sell a lot more Firefly® ESVs in the future. They make economic sense for the customer,” stated John Matheny, President of Turf and Industrial Equipment Company.

Based on usage estimates and relative fuel prices for service vehicles, the Firefly® can create annual cost savings of $8,000 – $10,000, as compared to the cost of using a conventional gas-powered vehicle.

“Berkeley is committed to sustainable energy and development. We look forward to integrating the zero-emissions Firefly® into our parking enforcement fleet to reduce our city’s operating costs and improve our energy efficiency,” commented Noel Pinto, Parking Enforcement Manager, City of Berkeley.

Good Earth Energy Conversation CEO James Emmons added, “Parking enforcement is a usage application which our Firefly® meets perfectly. Municipalities use parking enforcement vehicles an average of 40 hours per week. Traditional gas powered vehicles are burning fuel at a national cost average of over $3.50 per gallon, while emitting carbon dioxide, and causing wear and tear on the vehicles, which will require more service and maintenance, thus creating constantly rising operating costs. The Firefly® has fewer moving parts, requires less maintenance, is a zero emissions electric vehicle and costs less than $.02 per mile to operate.”

VIENNA, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Further advancing one of the largest Phase III trials for head and neck cancer in the world, CEL-SCI Corporation (NYSE MKT:CVM) announced today that it has received approval from the Agency for Medicaments and Medical Devices of the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to begin enrollment of subjects into the Phase III Head and Neck Cancer clinical trial of its investigational cancer immunotherapy treatment Multikine* (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection). Bosnia and Herzegovina is the 10th country into which CEL-SCI has now expanded its global Phase III trial. This also marks the Company’s milestone in receiving approval to commence accrual in one-half the number of countries in the currently planned expansion of the study. The trial is expected to expand into a total of approximately 100 clinical centers in 20 countries. CEL-SCI expects to enroll approximately 30 patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina through three clinical centers.

Multikine is the first immunotherapeutic agent being developed as a potential first-line treatment for advanced primary head and neck cancer. If it were to be approved by regulatory agencies (e.g. FDA) for use following completion of CEL-SCI’s clinical development program, Multikine would become an additional and different kind of therapy in the fight against cancer: one that aims to employ our body’s natural ability to fight tumors.

CEL-SCI is currently accelerating enrollment in its Phase III clinical trial for Multikine by adding a large number of clinical centers. In addition to these centers, the trial also benefits from clinical centers in CEL-SCI’s partners’ territories, Teva Pharmaceuticals in Israel and Orient Europharma in Taiwan.

“We are pleased with the accelerating pace at which new clinical centers and countries, which will participate in our study, are being added. From this we expect to see a fast pick-up in the number of patients enrolled in the study. We are aiming to complete enrollments of subjects in the second half of 2015. CEL-SCI offers a potential first-line approach to cancer treatment that employs the body’s own immune system, before the current standard of care, which includes surgery plus radiation therapy or surgery and combined radiochemotherapy, is used,” stated CEL-SCI CEO Geert Kersten.

The Multikine Phase III study is enrolling patients with advanced primary, not yet treated, head and neck cancer. The objective of the study is to demonstrate a statistically significant, 10% improvement in overall survival of enrolled patients who are treated with Multikine plus Standard of Care (SOC) vs. subjects who are treated with SOC only. Multikine is intended to create an anti-tumor immune response to reduce local / regional tumor recurrence and thereby increase the survival rate of these patients.

About CEL-SCI Corporation

CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body’s natural defense system. Its lead investigational therapy is Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), currently being studied in a pivotal global Phase III clinical trial. CEL-SCI is also investigating an immunotherapy (LEAPS-H1N1-DC) as a possible treatment for H1N1 hospitalized patients and as a vaccine (CEL-2000) for Rheumatoid Arthritis (currently in preclinical testing) using its LEAPS technology platform. The investigational immunotherapy LEAPS-H1N1-DC treatment involves non-changing regions of H1N1 Pandemic Flu, Avian Flu (H5N1), and the Spanish Flu, as CEL-SCI scientists are very concerned about the possible emergence of a new more virulent hybrid virus through the combination of H1N1 and Avian Flu, or maybe Spanish Flu. The Company has operations in Vienna, Virginia, and in/near Baltimore, Maryland.
