VitiGam� Inhibits Melanoma Growth In A Dose Dependent Manner - Inhibition Of Tumor Growth Is Statistically Significant

�GammaCan International, Inc. (OTCBB: GCAN), a developer of proprietary immunotherapies for the treatment of melanoma and other cancers, announced further progress in its VitiGam� development program. In cookery for its upcoming IND submission for VitiGam�, the Company successfully completed extra experiments victimisation its established mouse melanoma model. These studies demonstrate a dose response of tumors (human melanoma cells) when treated with IgG preparations derived from vitiligo donors. In addition, the Company has conducted a meta-analysis (a statistical analysis of a large number of experiments) based on a series of antecedently announced studies with its mouse melanoma model. The results of this meta-analysis further confirm the effectuality against melanomas of IgG preparations derived from vitiligo donors.


Using the A375 human malignant melanoma cell communication channel in SCID mice, the Company demonstrated that vitiligo-derived IgG preparations can prevent the growth of melanomas in a dose dependent manner. In these studies, mice with subcutaneously induced melanomas were treated with varying concentrations of vitiligo-derived IgG preparations and compared to saline treated mice. At higher doses, vitiligo-derived IgG preparations reduced neoplasm sizes by fifty percent and greater when compared to turn down doses.


The Company likewise conducted a meta-analysis to further confirm the overall effectiveness of vitiligo-derived IgG preparations against melanoma cells. This analysis revealed a specific and highly statistically significant inhibition of neoplasm growth in mice treated with vitiligo-derived IgG preparations. Specifically, the Company ascertained that deuce separate pools of vitiligo-derived IgG preparations were able to inhibit tumor growth in a highly statistically significant mode (p=0.006) compared to control mice receiving saline. In gain, this analysis substantiated that anti-melanoma effects are specific to vitiligo-derived IgG preparations. Tumors in mice treated with vitiligo-derived preparations were significantly smaller (p=0.043) when compared to tumors in mice treated with IgG preparations from non-vitiligo donors.


Steven Katz, Chairman of the Board and President of GammaCan aforementioned, "These analyses confirm the validity of our anti-melanoma program. Using our models, we have repeatedly demonstrated that vitiligo-derived IgG preparations can foreclose tumor growth. Further, we have observed a dose response to vitiligo-derived IgG-based therapy." Mr. Katz further commented that, "These positive results keep to retain us on track to file our IND with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the near condition."

Billing, payment processing and delivery are also incorporated into the widget. Fans can post Lil Wayne Musicane widgets onto their own social media profiles, allowing them to share in the revenues generated through sales made from their widget.

Tha Carter III, the last of his 'Carter Trilogy', has been called by XXL "The number one most anticipated album of the year."

"I definitely felt nervous on the drive here. I knew how I was feeling but I didn't know how she was feeling. I felt like a teenager again."
Earlier this week police visited the actor during his stay at Matthews' parents' house in Trefin in connection with an incident with a photographer last Friday.
The pair said they would stay at Matthews' home for the immediate future.
