�New stage IIb data from Tibotec
Pharmaceuticals Ltd. provides additional information on the safety and
efficaciousness of TMC278, the company's once-daily, investigational
non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), as part of HIV
combination therapy in treatment-naive adults. These findings were
presented today at the International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2008) in Mexico
City.



Seventy-six percent of patients receiving the 25 mg dosage of TMC278,
which is being studied in phase III trials, achieved an undetectable viral
load (


"NNRTIs have been an integral section of combination antiretroviral
therapy for over a decennium," said clinical trial investigator Peter Shalit,
M.D. Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, WA. "The phase IIb information show
potential difference for TMC278 as a once-daily discussion option for patients wHO have
non previously taken anti-HIV medications."



TMC278 is an investigational product, and the safety and efficaciousness of
it, in combination with other antiretroviral agents, has non been
established. Two major phase III trials for TMC278 ar being conducted in
Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America, and are currently
recruiting treatment-naive adult patients.

Study Design



The phase IIb dose-finding study (TMC278-C204) evaluated the efficaciousness,
tolerability and safety of once-daily TMC278 at threesome blinded doses (25 mg,
75 mg, and cl mg) and included an open label EFV 600 mg sleeve. A add up of
368 patients were randomised to receive one of the three doses of TMC278 or
EFV, and all patients standard a background regimen of two nucleoside
reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), zidovudine + lamivudine (AZT/3TC)
or tenofovir + emtricitabine (TDF/FTC).

Safety Results



Of patients in the TMC278 combined group compared with EFV, 9 per centum
vs. 21 percent experienced rash, 31 percent vs. 48 percentage experienced
flighty system untoward events and 16 per centum vs. 21 percent experienced
psychiatric events.



Overall, patients in the TMC278 combined group (all doses) vs. the EFV
group experienced similar incidences and types of dangerous adverse events
(SAEs) (12 percent vs. 15 pct), grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs), (27
percent vs. 21 percentage) and grade 3 or 4 lab abnormalities (26
percent vs. 24 pct).



TMC278 is the third anti-HIV compound to be developed by Tibotec
Pharmaceuticals, which is also developing investigational compounds for the
treatment of hepatitis C and tuberculosis.

Shirley Bassey Drops Out Of Nelson Mandela Concert

Dame Shirley Bassey has been forced to pull out of the Nelson Mandela concert in London's Hyde Park this Friday (June 27th).



A spokesperson for the singer said that she was “hugely disappointed” because she had been “looking forward to the show immensely”.



Last month, Dame Shirley had to undergo an operation on her stomach in Monaco, where she lives.



As a result of the operation, the singer, famous for her work on James Bond, has been advised by doctors not to travel.



The concert on Friday, which will help raise awareness for the 46664 aids campaign, is scheduled to feature Amy Winehouse, Annie Lenox, Leona Lewis and Razorlight.

The BBC throws open its music vaults to EMI

Right now, in the smoke-filled boardrooms where corporation bosses make their decisions, a bunch of suits are high-fiving each other while listening to obscure Pink Floyd radio sessions. And the reason is that thousands of hours of unreleased music are soon to be made available, as the BBC throws open its vaults in a new deal with EMI Music.

The agreement between EMI and BBC Worldwide, the Beeb's commercial arm, means that each party will have access to release, broadcast and monetise recordings by EMI artists from the BBC archive. These include unheard sessions by the Beach Boys, Kylie Minogue and David Bowie. Other highlights of the BBC treasure trove include a stripped-down version of Coldplay's Shiver, and live radio sessions by Pink Floyd, recorded around the time of their debut album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, when Syd Barrett was still a member of the band.

The deal means that EMI will be able to mine the BBC's vaults for recordings by its artists, then release these sessions as DVDs, CDs and digital downloads. The BBC, meanwhile, will be able to use performances from EMI artists in radio, TV and internet programmes.

Both companies will receive royalties from each other's sales, and artists will still have to clear any release project.

"We are very excited about this agreement," said Pete Duckworth, a senior vice president at EMI Music UK. "In the BBC vaults there is a wealth of unreleased and high-quality material from EMI artists that we will now be able to bring to fans. At the same time, we can offer new revenue opportunities to our artists that simply weren't there before."

Universal Music struck a similar bargain with the BBC in 2005.
