Calypte - schon bald wieder in höheren Gefilden anzutreffen ??

Schon seit geraumer Zeit müssen Aktionäre des Penny Stocks Calypte
Biomedical (Amex: HIV; WKN: 765254) mit einem Wechselbad der
Gefühle leben, was nicht zuletzt daran liegt, dass die Aktie ins Visier der
Zocker geraten ist. Seitdem müssen sich Calypte-Anleger mit dem Auf und
Ab der Aktie abfinden, welches meist grundlos von statten geht. Eigentlich
hätte das Listing an der American Stock Exchange (AMEX) ja etwas Ruhe
in die Aktie bringen sollen, doch das Gegenteil war der Fall. Seit die Aktie
vom OTCBB an die Amex wechselte hat die Volatilität eher zu- als
abgenommen. Auch das Intervenieren der renommierten Marr Group, die
mittlerweile einen beträchtlichen Anteil an Calypte besitzt, brachte nicht
die gewünschte Stabilität in das Papier. Eigentlich ist der niedrige
Aktienkurs nicht ganz verständlich, zumal der als korrupt geltende CEO
das Unternehmen, auf Drängen der Marr Group, verlassen musste, und
durch einen von der Marr Group vorgeschlagenen Mann ersetzt wurde.
Seitdem sind auch die oftmals „marktschreierischen“ Nachrichten
verschwunden, die bei Calypte stets zu gigantischen Kursbewegungen
geführt hatten. Umso interessanter die neueste Nachricht von Calypte, die
der Aktie seit langem wieder einmal einen größeren Gewinn von mehr als
acht Prozent bescheren konnte. In diesem Falle scheint der Kursgewinn
aber tatsächlich gerechtfertigt und könnte Calypte endlich zum so
dringend benötigten Bekanntheitsgrad verhelfen. Die HIV-Tests des
Unternehmens sind Studien zufolge anderen, bereits vermarkteten, Tests
zwar überlegen, doch an der Nachfrage scheiterte bisher der Erfolg des
kleinen Unternehmens. Weshalb dies Calypte bisher nicht gelang lässt sich
nicht erklären, vielleicht aber ist es ja der schlechte Ruf des ehemaligen
CEOs, der Calypte einfach nicht auf die Beine kommen lässt.
Ein Studienprogramm, dass die von Calypte zum
Schnellnachweis von HIV-1/2 entwickelte Plattform Aware™
evaluieren soll, wird nun schon demnächst in Afrika starten. Die ersten
Versuche werden gemäß der Meldung im HIV-Referenzlabor des Virus
Research Institutes in Entebbe in der Republik Uganda beginnen. Die
Studie soll die Sensitivität, also die Empfindlichkeit, wie auch die
Genauigkeit, die als Spezifität bezeichnet wird, ermitteln. Als Testmaterial
werden Blut, Urin und Speichelproben von mit HIV-1 und HIV-2 infizierten
Patienten zum Einsatz kommen. Uganda zählt zu den Ländern Afrikas, die
am schlimmsten vom HI-Virus getroffen wurden. Gemäß der UNAIDS
waren 2003 rund 530.000 Menschen mit dem Virus infiziert. Im Jahr 2004
wurden etwa 100 Millionen Dollar für AIDS-Test und die Therapie von
AIDS von ausländischen Hilfsorganisationen nach Uganda transferiert.
Calypte will nun sein Testverfahren als Standardverfahren etablieren, was
mit dem erfolgreichen Verlauf der Studien sogar Realität werden könnte.
Die Studien, die unter Leitung des Direktors des Uganda Virus Research
Institutes, Dr. Benon Biryahwaho, durchgeführt werden, sollen rund 350
Infizierte einschließen. Das Studienprogramm repräsentiert das erste
staatlich überwachte Programm für das neue Schnelltestverfahren
Aware™ in Uganda. Bereits im zweiten Quartal dieses Jahres erwartet
Calypte die Ergebnisse der Studie, sollten diese den Wünschen
entsprechend ausfallen, dann will Calypte noch im ersten Halbjahr 2005
einen Zulassungsantrag für Aware™ in Uganda einreichen. Ein positiver
Entscheid würde Calypte die Marktführerschaft zumindest in Uganda
sichern. Für Calypte ist die Chance auf eine baldige Zulassung seines
Tests in Uganda ein wichtiger Meilenstein.
Wenn es nach Dr. Benon Biryahwaho geht, dann wird Aware™ auf alle
Fälle zum Standardtest für den Nachweis des AIDS-Erregers,
vorausgesetzt die Regierung Ugandas erteilt ihr okay. Der Mediziner
arbeitet schon seit längerem mit Calypte zusammen und ist begeistert
vom einfachen Handling der AIDS-Tests, die zudem einen schnellen
Nachweis des Erregers ermöglichen. Doch Uganda soll, wenn es nach
Calypte geht, erst der Anfang sein. 2005 sind weitere Studien mit
Aware™ in anderen afrikanischen Ländern, wie auch im Fernen
Osten, geplant. Auch die erste kommerzielle Applikation der
Technologie, die Calypte im Oktober 2004 von Ani Biotech erworben hat,
soll demnächst in klinischen Studien getestet werden. Den Anfang wird
ebenfalls der Mediziner aus Uganda machen, weitere Schlüsselmärkte
sollen noch in diesem Jahr folgen. Der Transfer der Ani Biotech
Technologie Plattform auf Calyptes HIV-Tests gelang schneller als
gedacht, so der neue Calypte-Boss Dr. George. Die Ani Technologie
erlaubt nicht nur die Herstellung von HIV-Tests für medizinisches
Personal, sondern ermöglicht auch die Herstellung von Tests, die sich für
den Hausgebrauch eignen. Die Letzteren sollen rezeptfrei erhältlich und
von Jedermann leicht zu handhaben sein.
Exakt hier schlummert ein nicht unerhebliches Potenzial, denn ein
rezeptfrei erhältlicher Test würde mit Sicherheit weit mehr Menschen zur
Testung animieren, als bisher. Oftmals ist es nämlich die Scheu vor einem
Arztbesuch, die Menschen von einem HIV-Test Abstand nehmen lässt. Die
Möglichkeit, Schnelltests für alle nur erdenklichen Virusinfektionen für den
Hausgebrauch zu entwickeln, sollte Investoren aufhorchen lassen. Wenn
Calypte dies gelingt, was mit der Ani Biotech Technologie möglich ist,
dann könnten die Penny Stock Zeiten für Calypte schon früher als gedacht
ein Ende haben. Noch etwas Geduld müssen die gebeutelten Anleger aber
haben, denn die Feuertaufe für den ersten HIV-Schnelltest steht noch
bevor.

CHINA sent a signal of seriousness about its desire to rid its territory of corrupt practices with the execution of Zheng Xiaoyu, head of China's State Food and Drug Administration Agency, SFDA. He was sentenced to death for approving untested medicines in exchange for cash.

The drug makers were discovered to have used falsified document to apply for approvals of six medicines that turned out to be fake during Zheng's reign as head of the agency between 1998-2005.


"The few corrupt officials of the SFDA are the shame of the whole system and their scandals have revealed some very serious problems" declared Yan Jiangying, spokesperson of the agency. China for some years has been battling to tackle endemic product safety crisis which led to enactment of a law providing death sentence for corruption. Whatever it is, China has demonstrated that its law has no respect for people no matter how highly placed. The execution of Zheng would serve a warning to other highly placed Chinese officials that the nation brooks no nonsense in its resolve to rid its enclave of corruption.

This is rule of law at its utmost best for whatever rule applies to lowly placed Chinese equally applies to that society's high and mighty. This is the purport of the ruling for the execution of the SFDA's henchman two years after his removal from his seat. China has proved that a public officer can be held responsible for his act while in office.

The international embarrassment unwholesome Chinese products caused could not have been the major reason for executing Zheng. Proven cases of corruption are penalised with the death sentence.

Nigeria has a lot to learn from the execution sentence placed on Zheng. This country still has a long way to go in its professed disdain for corruption. Contempt for the rule of law in enforcing anti-graft laws has not abated. This development has injured public safety and also proved to be one of the reasons the country remains perpetually undeveloping. No country ingrained in corrupt practices ever develops. Nigeria will not be an exception.

The hurt Tafa Balogun, convicted former Inspector General of Police, did to the police force by stealing billions of Naira from its coffers cannot be less than what Zheng did in China. For all he did to undermine the police that is responsible for the nation's security, he spent less than six months in jail and he is now out enjoying his negotiated loot.

Offenders who committed lesser crimes are languishing in jail. This was a monumental example of how not to treat graft. All facets of national life must be rid of the graft menace and this could be done provided a non-status sparing approach akin to China's example is emulated by the government. There is more to learn from China by the government.

Our laws do not punish corruption with death, but the application of the existing laws is a huge joke. There are obvious indices of corruption. Where people are living above their means, without a reasonable explanation, where their tax payments are below the affluence they parade and in the cases where their spouses and children - usually without visible means of livelihood - are awash in opulence, corruption practices could account for these.

The political willingness to tackle corruption must include official practices that inhibit corruption. Are the wages paid in Nigeria able to sustain anyone? Who is supposed to cater for the millions who have been sidelined from existence through excruciating economic policies?

 

Calypte Reports Continued Positive Results of Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 Oral Fluid Rapid Test Evaluations at the 4th Annual AIDS Conference in Sydney, Australia
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 23, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CBMC), medical diagnostic tests manufacturer for the rapid detection of antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) announced today the results, including positive cost and social implications, of a field evaluation of its Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT (oral fluid) rapid test in Tanzania. The results of the evaluation are being presented this week in a poster at the 4th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Sydney, Australia. Posters are scientific research publications presented in a display form for broad audience viewing, and have the advantage of providing an opportunity for extensive interaction between conference attendees and the poster authors.
The field evaluation was conducted on 1,055 clients at the African Medical & Research Foundation ("AMREF") ANGAZA Voluntary Counseling and Testing ("VCT") centers in Tanzania, a Non-Government Organization ("NGO"). ANGAZA is one of AMREF's primary projects in Tanzania; its objectives are to increase access to quality counseling for VCT centers as an entry to a continuum of HIV/AIDS care and prevention and to establish community care support for HIV positive clients. Of the clients tested at the ANGAZA center, 12%, or 123 clients, tested positive for HIV. The poster reported that the accuracy of the Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test was 100%, better than that of a comparable rapid blood test. (Calypte's rapid blood test was not evaluated in this study.). The poster also concluded that the evaluation "yielded a significant reduction in the cost of testing."

Roger Gale, Calypte's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We believe that oral fluid testing using our Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT test will become the standard of care in many settings based on its continued strong clinical results coupled with the social and cost advantages of oral fluid testing. Our internal research has determined that the overall cost of oral fluid testing is less than that of blood testing. Oral fluid testing permits a healthcare worker to educate a group of clients simultaneously rather than requiring the individual attention demanded by all blood tests due to the administration, and blood handling and disposal requirements of blood-based tests. This is a significant advantage in resource-constrained settings requiring high client throughput. There are no other costs required to perform an oral fluid test and oral fluid has the obvious advantages of safety for both the client and healthcare worker and no hazardous disposal issues."

"We look forward to continuing to work with important NGOs like AMREF in Tanzania and elsewhere. We plan to support AMREF in their efforts to validate other aspects of HIV oral fluid rapid testing," Mr. Gale continued.

Mr. David Ocheng, a Medical Laboratory Technologist and project manager of AMREF who coordinated the field evaluation at ANGAZA elaborated, "We questioned the over 1,000 clients in this study on whether they would prefer a blood test or an oral fluid test, and, although they had consented to both for this to be a valid study, over 76.7% responded that they would prefer the oral procedure. We expect to now follow this question with a formal study on acceptance and welcome Calypte's support for this project. We believe acceptance of oral fluid testing has important implications, as our ability to increase the testing rate will have a direct correlation with our ability to then treat and care for HIV positive individuals. Ultimately, this is the best alternative screening method to support efforts to control the epidemic -- a very important goal of all of us involved in Tanzania."

Professor Willy Urassa of Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences in Tanzania ("MUCHS"), the lead investigator of this field study, commented, "Our study concluded that the test is indeed more cost effective than a blood test. This is one of the elements that would influence policy and decision makers in considering alternative rapid testing methods in the country. The results of sensitivity and specificity cannot be overemphasized, but when one considers overall cost, safety and acceptance, what will be left is to educate the public on the existence of alternative rapid testing methods through proper Government channels."

"We see that in many settings oral fluid testing can and should become the test of choice," Professor Urassa concluded.

Calypte Biomedical Announces Successful Conclusion of Internal Trials

 

Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB:CBMC), a  developer, manufacturer and marketer of HIV diagnostic tests, today  announced successful completion of internal studies of its new Aware  HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test for the US and international markets.

"I am pleased that Calypte's new Aware HIV-1/2 rapid test has been  successful in these studies. We strongly believe that our product has  the potential to significantly improve HIV testing and early diagnosis," said Adel Karas, Chairman and CEO of Calypte.

The trials were performed at two sites – one in South Africa and one in  the US – and generated data from 577 subjects at various levels of risk  for HIV infection. In combined results, Calypte's new Aware HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid test showed an accuracy of 100%.

"We believe that we have a test that performs as well as any other  HIV-1/2 oral fluid test in the market," said Richard George, former CEO  of Calypte, who is currently a scientific advisor to the company.

Based on these promising results, Calypte has contacted the FDA and  started the process to conduct clinical trials in the second half of  2011.

Dann startet die Rakete erst richtig. Kann sich bestimmt nur noch um wenige Jahre handeln.

 

 

zumindest wird sicher eine Mitteilung über eine  unterzeichnete Absichtserklärung gemeldet. Dann geht`s ab.

Aber echt: Viel Glück den investierten - vielleicht klappt es wirklich mal ?!
