Genta Inc. released the results from a pilot study on advanced melanoma incorporating the Company’s cancer drug Genasense(R) (oblimersen sodium). This study was featured earlier this week in a presentation at the World Meeting of Interdisciplinary Melanoma/Skin Cancer Centers in Berlin, Germany, an international conference organized every year by a co-leader of the AGENDA trial, the European Association of Dermatologic Oncology (EADO).

Genasense, delivered for the first time in a high-dose, 1-hour intravenous (IV) format, was used along with the most common melanoma drug temozolomide (Temodar(R); Schering Plough, Inc.), and a paclitaxel suspension (Abraxane(R); Abraxis Bioscience, Inc.). Using a standard dose and schedule of Genasense, 500 mg over 24 hours for 7 days, showed good tolerability for 18 patients and was associated with clinical activity in prior results using this investigational combination of drugs.

Genasense, administered in this more aggressive schedule (1-hour IV twice a week for 4 weeks at 900 mg

A while back we pointed to the Twitter feed of Russia's Amb. to NATO Dmitry Rogozin.  Today it looks like he has launched a personal assault on Radoslav Sikorski, the Polish MFA (everybody is just so prickly around this Berlin Wall anniversary).  I put Dima's tweets in chronological order to better understand his thought process:@Rogozin  Polish FM Sikorsky gave a very strange interview. Hu suggested demolishing the Stalin-style House of Science and Culture in centre of Warsaw about 6 hours ago from web ...

The popularity of investing in Berlin property is on the rise, there is a continuously growing number of prospective buyers and investors researching and learning about the large financial returns from Berlin investment property from this quickly growing business venture.

With an economic growth rate of 2.5 percent posted in 2006, Germany has earned its highest level of confidence in the world market in 15 years. The country is experiencing an unprecedented economic revival, what with a strong export market and a rising housing price index, and therefore making it a perfect time to invest.

Berlin has had a steady and increasing rise of investors after many years of the economy being very slow. It has been especially sluggish in the eastern parts of Germany and of course Berlin. Due to this fact, prices of property have nominally low. Many German citizens are choosing to buy their homes instead of renting them …

Twenty years ago this week, the Berlin Wall fell and in doing so, set off a string of momentous events that in short order saw the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and freedoms and democracy spread across a long-oppressed part of the world. Few events in modern history have had such a significant impact on the lives of so many people, but momentum for the wallrsquo;s fall began years earlier. A member of our investment team who grew up in Poland points out the important role played by Polish leader Lech Walesa, the shipyard electrician who led the Solidarity labor movement that drew support from around the world. Solidarityrsquo;s success in creating the first free trade union behind the Iron Curtain weakened the regionrsquo;s Communist governments and won Walesa the Nobel Peace Prize. Walesa, later Polandrsquo;s first post-Communist president, was in Berlin this week to tip over the first ...

One of my favorite blogs, Business Monitor International's Risk Watchdog, had a post yesterday discussing the wider historical context of the Berlin Wall's fall. The discussion of the persistence of Communism and the comparison between 1979 and 1989 I personally found to be the most thought-provoking observations but the entire posting is worth reading, accessible here.

Observation 6: Communism did not entirely die.

China, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, and Laos all retain Communist leaderships, although in the former two countries the free market has largely prevailed. Many of the 'Communists' in Eastern Europe merely changed their names to 'social democrats' and returned to power, albeit in reconstructed form. Overall, the phenomenon of significant state interventionism in economies lives on long after 1989,

This in from the Wall Street Journal on the somewhat disturbing, political dimensions of Russia's Nord Stream pipeline.  Approved just last week by Finland and Sweden after ecological concerns were overcome, the project is now ready to get off the ground, or rather under the ground.  For the pipeline will traverse the Baltic Sea floor to Germany, rather than crossing overground through former Eastern bloc countries; a divisive move, Alexandro Peterson suggests:[ . . . ] The Nord Stream project is part of an exclusionary agreement between Moscow and Berlin--nicknamed in circumvented Warsaw the "Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact," after the 1939 Soviet-Nazi deal to carve up Poland. It would have been much cheaper to build an overland pipeline ...
