Major Diabetes Breakthrough Sets Stage for Human Clinical Trials

BALTIMORE, Apr. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm specializing in the small cap and microcap sectors, announced today that it has issued a new research update on PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (OTCQB – PMCB), a publicly traded, clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing and preparing treatments for cancer and diabetes. To view the sponsored research article, along with disclosures and disclaimers, or to download it in its entirety, please visit www.GoldmanResearch.com. 

In the update, analyst Rob Goldman discusses how a recent diabetes development breakthrough sets the stage for the Company's first human clinical trials for diabetes.

"A member of PMCB's international Diabetes Consortium, who, along with her team, developed a new, insulin-producing cell line from human liver cells (Melligen), published an article in the scientific journal Molecular Therapy illustrating that tests on diabetic mice with transplanted Melligen cells demonstrated an ability to reverse Type 1 diabetes (T1D).  The article noted that in order for the cells to be effective in treating humans with T1D, they must be protected from the body's immune system after introduction. The next step is to engage in vivo studies using Cell-in-a-Box® to confirm the Melligen line's viability after encapsulation, as well as other parameters related to its insulin production. Once confirmed, the next stage would be to initiate Phase I human clinical trials."  

Goldman points out, "This recent study notes that the Melligen cell line, when combined with encapsulation, has clear advantages over current insulin injection and pump therapies for Type 1 diabetes. Therefore, the PMCB delivery system approach could potentially replace these therapies. According to Diabetes.org, $176 billion is spent annually in the U.S. on direct costs attributable to diagnosed diabetes and 1 in 10 health care dollars is spent treating diabetes and its complications. And, diabetes kills more Americans than AIDS and breast cancer combined.

"Plus, given the diabetes market size, once the next study is completed and a Phase I trial protocol design is underway, PMCB stock could enjoy a significant valuation increase, as the technology's effectiveness and flexibility would take center stage."
