LACHEN, Switzerland - Wednesday, December 18th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Octapharma AG, one of the largest global manufacturers of human proteins, today announced the enrolment of the first two patients in its GAM-27 Phase II/III clinical trial for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Through intravenous administration of immunoglobulin (Octagam 5%), the study seeks to support the overall clinical benefit of a lower annualised relapse rate in patients where first-line treatment is not suitable.

This randomised, active-controlled phase II/III study aims to confirm preliminary results that suggested it is possible to identify potential responders to treatment with Octagam 5%. Using a combination of functional genomic and protein expression tests, a special assay panel, Heidelberg Assay Panel (HAP), was developed that could potentially stratify patients into predicted responders or non-responders. These laboratory-based tests require just a simple ... Read more »

SHENZHEN, China - Wednesday, December 18th 2013 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) ZTE Corporation and its subsidiary in Germany will appeal a decision by the District Court of Mannheim, Germany this week as the Group continues to defend a patent-related action initiated by Vringo Germany GmbH.

The ruling by Mannheim district court concerned the German part of the European Patent EP 1 186 119, owned by Vringo Infrastructure Inc., and a minor and optional function included in certain ZTE products. This week’s decision does not affect ZTE’s ability to offer products without the optional function. As the optional function is not in use in Germany, ZTE customers and consumers will not be affected by the ruling.

ZTE will appeal the Mannheim district court ruling in a higher court in Germany, and is optimistic of an outcome in favor of the Group.

In parallel, ZTE Deutschland GmbH previously filed a nullity action on the German part of EP 1 186 119 which is still pendin ... Read more »
