California Stem Cell Agency’s $150,000 Search for Its Financial Future

By Dr. Matthew Watson

A San Francisco consultant, who is
often known as an “economic therapist,” has been selected to
devise a “strategic road map” for the financial future of the $3
billion California stem cell agency.
James Gollub: 'economic therapist'
Gollub Associates photo
James Gollub, managing director of the
firm bearing his name, is under a $150,000 contract to lay out by
this fall a detailed plan for the agency. The nine-year-old research
effort is scheduled to run out of money for new awards in 2017.
Gollub was selected after the agency
posted a request for proposals (RFP) last spring. The RFP assumed an
additional $50 million to $200 million in a onetime “public
investment.” The RFP also assumed additional private funding of a
yet-to-be-determined nature.

“A leading expert in innovation
bridge building....
“Global experience assisting
universities, institutes, government agencies and public-private
partnerships link innovation sources to innovation
seekers.
“Committed to the goal of increasing flow of needed
solutions, optimizing financial returns and sustainable economic
impacts from innovation.”

Gollub's current firm dates back to
March of this year. His Linked In profile says,

James Gollub Associates
(JGA) LLC was launched to build on 36 years of Gollub’s
professional research and consulting experience. That experience
began with 16 years at SRI International, three years at
DRI/McGraw-Hill, five years at IDeA, nine years at ICF International
and three years with E-Cubed Ventures LLC. During that
time Gollub has worked globally to deliver
economic strategies for over 30 national, state and metropolitan
regions, develop strategies to accelerate growth of new industries
(clusters), plan public and private R&D institutes and advise on
over 15 science and technology parks.”

The need for a financial transition plan for CIRM was publicly identified as long ago as 2009 by the Little Hoover Commission in its lengthy study and has been reiterated periodically by other bodies since then. Under the terms of Prop. 71, which created the agency, CIRM has only  a 10-year authority to issue state bonds, the borrowed funds that have sustained the research effort. Legal maneuvering blocked the issuance of bonds until 2007.

The California Stem Cell Report asked
the stem cell agency on May 31 for a copy of Gollub's response to the
RFP. Yesterday we asked for a copy of the contract with Gollub. Those
documents will be published when they are received.

New Ties to Big Pharma and Venture Capital Proposed at California Stem Cell Agency

By Dr. Matthew Watson

The $3 billion California stem cell
agency wants to recruit major biotech and venture capital firms to
help provide tens of millions of dollars in research awards to
California enterprises.
It's part of a move to “jump start”
partnerships in a relatively new, $80 million, business-friendly program that is aimed at pushing therapies into the
marketplace. The recruitment plan will come before the agency's governing board at its meeting next Wednesday in San Diego. 
Participating companies will have a
special relationship with the state agency, including early input
into concept funding proposals prior to their being presented to the
agency's governing board. The “industry collaborators” will also
be able to attend agency workshops and meetings involving
hundreds of grant recipients. Presumably other, non-collaborating
firms would be barred.
Other provisions of the plan call for
special event-hosting arrangements aimed at creating more
collaborations and posting of information from the selected
collaborators on the CIRM website.
According to a CIRM staff document, the
initiative would be limited to biotech and pharmaceutical firms with
a market capitalization of at least $500 million and “qualified
venture capital firms.” The document did not define what a
“qualified a venture capital firm” is. The document also appeared
to bar participation of privately held firms because of the “market
capitalization” criteria, which typically uses a formula involving
publicly traded shares.
Elona Baum, the agency's general
counsel and vice president, business development, said in a statement
provided to the California Stem Cell Report,

“This is aimed at trying to jump
start the creation of the partnerships that are required to satisfy
the commercial validation requirements of the Strategic Partnership
Funding Initiative so that timelines are better synced-up as between
our review and approval cycles for the Strategic Partnership RFAs and
the lengthy time required for investors to conduct due diligence and
negotiate an agreement with prospective applicants to Strategic
Partnership RFAs.  CIRM's independent review and approval
remains the same and is wholly independent. While there may be input
given to a particular RFA it only at the high level concept stage and
of course CIRM has no obligation to agree. In the context of the
Strategic Partnership awards, CIRM wants to fund innovative high
quality science that has attracted additional  investors.
 Investors will help leverage CIRM fund and will be an important
source of future funding to further the project.”

A $2 Million Bill: Outside Contracting by California Stem Cell Agency

By Dr. Matthew Watson

The $3 billion California stem cell
agency this week posted a list of its outside contractors, who range
from a a $25,000 stem cell licensing consultant to a $550,000-a-year law firm.
The agency expects to spend $2
million during 2013-14 on outside contracting, down from $2.9 million
in 2012-13. This week's report covers the 2012-13 year.
Outside contracting is the second
largest item in the agency's budget, which is slated to spend $17.4
million this fiscal year for operational expenses, up 5 percent
from last year's spending. The largest amount, $12.2 million, goes
for salaries and benefits. (For more on the budget, see here, here
and here.)
Topping the contractor list is the law
firm of Remcho, Johansen & Purcell of San Leandro, Ca., which had
the $550,000 contract. CIRM, as the agency is known, reported that Remcho came in under
budget by $95,595. That contrasts to some previous years when the
firm, which has represented the stem cell agency since its inception,
required additional cash on top of its original contract. James
Harrison
of the Remcho firm is its face at the agency and is
designated as the outside counsel to the agency's governing board. In
all, the agency is slated to spend $2.2 million on legal expenses,
including in-house work.
David Earp is the stem cell licensing
contractor. He was paid only $13,125 on his $25,000 contract during
2012-13. It is unclear whether he will be paid the $11,875 balance.
Earp was chief patent counsel and senior vice president for business
development for Geron before it dropped its stem cell program. Earp was heavily involved in the $25 million loan that CIRM made to Geron in 2011. In
February 2008, he testified before CIRM about its then proposed loan
program.
The list of contractors included
$200,000 to the AlphaMed Press of Durham, N.C., as seed funding for a
stem cells translational journal, $156,434 to Hyatt Hotels for the
meeting of CIRM grant recipients, $250,000 to Kutir Corp. of Newark, Ca., for
informational technology services and $290,000 to the Mitchell
Group
of Woodland Hills, Ca.also for information technology services.
The list of contractors will be
presented to the CIRM governing board at its meeting next week. The
list does not usually trigger any significant discussion.

California Stem Cell Agency Spending: Where the Money Is Going

By Dr. Matthew Watson

Analysis of CIRM funding by Pat Olson, executive director of CIRM scientific activities July 2013
The California stem cell agency will
have committed $472 million to translational research – a key to
commercializing stem cell therapies – if it awards the full $70
million in new grants and loans slated to come before its governing
board next week.
The nearly $500 million will amount to
about 17 percent of its funding so far, according to an analysis last
month by Pat Olson, the agency's executive director of scientific activities. The
largest percentage of the agency's cash, however, will be going for
“development” – 35 percent or $970 million. Olson defined
“development” as “essentially our IND enabling, our
preclinical development programs and our clinical development
programs.”
Basic research is to receive 17 percent
or about $469 million with buildings and facilities taking up $443
million or 16 percent. Training and career development has consumed
about 15 percent or $414 million.
However, those calculations include
$577 million in funds that have been allocated but not yet awarded.
Another $491 million is “concept approved” but also not awarded.
The agency's governing board could change those allocations or
withdraw approval of concepts, although it has not yet shown signs
that it might do so.
The agency will run out of money for
new grants in 2017 and is examining the possibility of generating
more cash through some sort of public-private partnership. To develop
support for continued funding, the agency is under pressure to
generate results that will resonate with the public and potential
private funding sources. Those results are most likely to come from
a late stage translational/clinical trial effort.
Here is a link to CIRM's translational portfolio as of September 2012.

(An earlier version of this item incorrectly said that the agency would run out of money for new grants in 2013. The correct year is 2017,.)

Flim-Flam Stem Cell Artists Targeted by CIRM

By Dr. Matthew Watson

The California stem cell agency has
joined with other prestigious stem cell organizations to help put a
stop to the flim-flam artists that prey on desperate people by
promising miracle cures from stem cell treatments.
The agency announced the action today on its blog, declaring that it has posted a new patient advisory document that provides a “ robust and detailed set of issues
patients should consider when making treatment decisions.”
Don Gibbons, CIRM's senior science and
education communications officer and author of the blog item, said
the document addresses one of his special concerns: Internet “ads
that come up on web searches and seem to be offering everything to
everyone.”
Some of those ads can be found on many stem cell-related web sites, including this one, that carry ads that are placed there
automatically by Google.

California Stem Cell Researchers to Receive $70 Million Next Week

By Dr. Matthew Watson

The California stem cell agency is
scheduled to give away $70 million next week as it moves forward on
its efforts to turn research into cures.
As many as 20 grants and loans are
projected to be awarded in the early translation round. The awards will range up to $3.5 million over a three year period.  The round was open to
both businesses and academic institutions. Collaborators from Germany
were involved, although funding for research in that country is not provided by the state stem cell agency.
The applications will come before
the $3 billion agency's governing board at its Aug. 28 meeting in La Jolla. After next week's awards, the agency, which is known as CIRM,  will have about $500
million left to hand out before cash for new awards runs out in 2017.
The agency is currently examining ways to continue its awards with
some sort of public-private partnership.
Also on the board's agenda is a
proposed announcement for a CIRM/industry co-funding agreement. No
further details on that program were available early today on the agenda.
Other matters to be considered include final approval of the changes
in the agency's IP regulations, appointment of new members to the
grant review group and the latest report on the outside contracts
held by the agency. Details on those matters are yet to be posted by
the agency.
A tribute to the late Duane Roth,
co-vice chairman of the agency, is also scheduled. The board will
additionally meet behind closed doors to evaluate the performance of
CIRM President Alan Trounson.
The California Stem Cell Report will
carry more information on the meeting as it becomes available.
In addition to the La Jolla location
for the meeting, other locations where the public can take part in
the meeting are in Menlo Park and Duarte. Specific addresses can be
found on the agenda.

‘Customize’ your stem cell therapy

By JoanneRUSSELL25

The bad news: "Stem cells by themselves do not work."

The good news: "Stem cells by themselves do not work."

Take it from the doctor who has treated 5,000 patients with stem cell therapy, a doctor who is himself a cancer survivor. Thirteen years ago, Dr. Sam Bernal - oncologist, chemist, molecular biologist, lawyer, professor and lecturer, among other things - was a cancer patient who thought he was at death's door. Using stem cells sourced from his bone marrow and peripheral blood, he overcame the disease and has since become an advocate of living fit, living well in order to look good.

Dr. Bernal, who divides his time between Los Angeles, Prague, Makati, and Germany, was a pioneer in stem cell research in the Philippines early on in his career, for which he was cited when he received the Presidential Award for Outstanding Filipinos Overseas from President Benigno S, Aquino III in 2012.

At a recent meeting with journalists, Dr. Bernal hurled the challenge: "What do you need stem cell therapy for if you eat well, sleep soundly, exercise regularly, don't smoke, have a positive attitude, and know how to live in the moment as you gaze at a painting and get a thrill out of small things like that?"

Not only is the doctor a passionate advocate of living the good life, the simple life, and, yes, Argentine tango - "It's better than boring exercises at the gym!" - he believes in healthy eating. "I brought a group of European friends to Manila and they were flabbergasted at our vegetable dishes - laing, gising-gising, buko juice - our simplest food was gourmet cuisine to them!"

No, he's not a vegetarian, but a "flexitarian."

But if stem cells - the body's own master and repair cells - aren't the key to staying young, what is? The holistic approach works best, according to the doctor, stating that the procedure should be recommended by doctors "on a case by case basis." In effect, the doctor prescribes "customizing your stem cell therapy."

In his book, molecular biology provides the battleground from which to attack the afflictions of aging that signal a desire or need to repair or replace one's stem cells. Speaking of books, Dr. Bernal continues to teach at Harvard, Ateneo, UST, and Medical City as a component of his mission to spread the benefits of technology transfer, which is the vision of his company, GlobeTek Science Foundation (based in Makati).

REMINDER | Stem-cell therapy accreditation deadline is Aug. 31 – DOH

By raymumme

By: Jet Villa, InterAksyon.com August 20, 2013 3:45 PM

InterAksyon.com The online news portal of TV5

MANILA, Philippines Reminder for those who wish to have their stem cell therapy practice and products accredited: You have until August 31 to register, the Department of Health said Tuesday.

Citing Administrative Order 2013-0012 issued March 18 this year, Health Secretary Enrique Ona said that while the Department of Health (DOH) supports scientific advancement in the field of cellular medicine, its priority is to protect the public from harm rather than give a blanket endorsement of its use or potential benefits.

Those who need to seek accreditation include: health care facilities doing stem cell therapy (with the DOH) as well as companies that import, market, and produce stem cell products (with the Food and Drug Administration, which is under DOH).

Ona said the DOH seeks to regulate stem cell therapy both as a recognized treatment modality and for research purposes.

"This is to allay fears that unscrupulous individuals or groups will engage in unethical practices and subject naive patients to undue harm and unproven medical claims," he added.

Among the DOH guidelines are:

Ona conceded that there are only a limited number of medical conditions in which stem cell therapy may be indicated.

Others are claims that should be taken with a grain of salt, he said.

The rest is here:

Docs seek stop to expensive, experimental stem cell therapy

By NEVAGiles23

By Philip C. Tubeza Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, PhilippinesSaying that doctors were exacting exorbitant fees for what is still experimental medicine, the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) launched Tuesday an online petition urging the Department of Health (DOH) to put a stop to experimental stem cell therapies in the country.

Human stem cell therapy for unproven indications is proliferating in the Philippines and posing serious safety issues to unknowing Filipinos The Philippine College of Physicians is alarmed by the false claims, misinformation and exorbitant fees for such stem cell treatments, read the petition on http://www.change.org.

The PCP urged the DOH to issue a cease and desist order to all doctors performing such therapies as the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) clarified that stem cell therapy was not covered by the governments universal healthcare program.

Cease and desist

We, the undersigned, call on the (DOH) to issue a cease and desist order to all doctors, clinics and hospitals that [offer] human stem cell therapy for unproven indications until scientific evidence to support claims of efficacy and safety are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it said.

The PCP, the umbrella organization of Internal Medicine specialists in the country, said that transplanting human blood-forming stem cells to treat cancerous and noncancerous diseases of the blood was the most widely accepted clinical application of stem cell therapy.

The effectiveness and safety of human stem cell therapy has yet to be proven for heart, neurologic, skin, rheumatologic and gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes, hypertension, autism, cancer, aging and aesthetics, HIV/AIDS and other conditions, the group said.

Lack of evidence

Despite the lack of solid scientific evidence to support the [application] of human stem cell therapy for these conditions, reports of its use precisely for these conditions being received and exorbitant fees being paid by prominent personalities abound in media, the PCP said.

Therapy Cells, Inc Receives USA Patent Granted for Revolutionary Cell Therapy

By raymumme

CHEYENNE, WY- (ACCESSWIRE - August 20,2013) - Therapy Cells Inc (OTC Pink: TCEL) announces that on 13 February 2013, US patent US 11/702,895 was awarded to renowned scientist Dr Patrick Casey and Transplantation Ltd, for his transformational cell therapy, exclusively licensed to Therapy Cells Inc for use in human applications.

This revolutionary science dispenses with the traditional notion that cells cannot divide once they are fully mature. Dr Casey has shown that adult cells, given the right environment, can in fact divide and be grown in the laboratory. These new cells can then be used for transportation back to damaged tissue in the body, to enact tissue and organ healing.

The research team headed by Dr Casey has to date treated more than 80 horses including thoroughbreds, standardbreds, polo ponies and horses at the highest level of equestrian competition.

"With a growing level of trial success in horses, Therapy Cells' target is to gain FDA approval, and in short order have human applications in human tendons," Dr Casey says. "An initial valuation of $30 million USD for our science and technology has been appraised. FDA approval for clinical use of this technology in humans, will likely increase this factor by at least 10 times." The horse is an FDA approved model species for athletic injuries.

Dr Casey is a Veterinary graduate from Massey University (BVSc, 1988), and graduate from the University of California in 1992 with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Comparative Pathology). During his time in the United States he also completed an Equine Surgical Internship at Hagyard-Davidson and McGee, Lexington, Kentucky, followed by a three year residency programme in Equine Reproduction, with a minor in Equine Medicine at UC Davis. In 1992, 1993, and 1994 he received a post-doctoral fellowship from the Equine Research Laboratory at the University of California, which allowed him to set up with the late, world renowned, Professor Liggins at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Since 2011, Dr Casey has been chief scientific consultant to a public company in the USA - Therapy Cells Inc (TCEL on the OTC Market).

This exciting Bio Tech/Med tech Company holds the exclusive technology that allows adult cells from a specific tissue (e.g. Achilles tendon) to grow again from an individual to enact repair and regeneration of that tissue, effectively by-passing the need for Stem Cell treatment.

"The financial and curative potential of this biotechnology platform is immediately obvious," states Dr Casey. "When we talk about regenerative procedures, the ability to rejuvenate tissues and organs with cultivated natural cell therapy, it's easy to understand how enormous the opportunity and the impact will be. The awarding of this US Patent for our transformational science is a significant milestone in the steps we have been taking to get our therapies to market."
