Quotes

President of ESTRO, Professor Vincenzo Valentini, a radiation oncologist at the Policlinico Universitario A Gemelli, Rome, Italy, said: "This study underlines the importance of translational research. The understanding of anti-cancer mechanisms, as well as of protective opportunities discovered in the experimental environment, is of upmost importance in the era of personalized medicine. This research provides further evidence of the importance of testing experimental theories in the clinical environment to the ultimate benefit of patients."
"When choosing first-step drugs, this evidence clearly suggests both men and women can benefit by starting with a diuretic" she said
Messerli responded that this "means you still may use dual RAS provided you âclosely monitorâ the above. To my way of thinking this is not acceptable. Since we have no outcome data showing benefit for dual RAS blockade, this is not simply a question of closely monitoring."
Continued Dr. Blobel: "With the just announced licensing agreement with Zensun (Shanghai) Science & Technology for Neucardin™, a novel, first-in-class treatment for chronic heart failure, we are fulfilling a major corporate goal to expand our product portfolio with a high quality, differentiated therapeutic with significant commercial potential to help drive our long-term growth. We believe that Neucardin has near-term commercial potential and can contribute to our long-term growth. We look forward to working with our partner Zensun to advance this promising product through the regulatory and commercial process."
