Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2015 -- PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company advancing protein biologic therapies and oncology supportive care products, announced today it had closed an upsized $7 million private placement of common stock with Knoll Capital Management and one additional global institutional fund manager. The private financing is comprised of 2,333,333 shares of common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. PlasmaTech plans to use the proceeds of the financing to accelerate development of its proprietary Salt Diafiltration (SDF™) Plasma Protein technology, working capital and general corporate purposes.

"We are pleased and excited to have both a new high quality institutional investor, and with the expanded participation of a current investor, to enable the build out of our proprietary plasma protein extraction and purification process," stated Steve H. Rouhandeh, PlasmaTech's Executive Chairman. "We look forward to a constructive and dynamic relationship moving forward."

The securities sold in this financing have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

About Plasma Proteins and the SDF™ Process: The global market for drugs derived from human blood plasma fractionation is currently greater than US$15 billion, and is growing at a rate close to 10% annually. Despite this significant market opportunity, limited innovation in fractionation technology has occurred in decades. PTBI has developed and patented a new extraction process for plasma biologics that may fundamentally change the economics of blood plasma fractionation, and makes possible the extraction of several additional therapeutically useful plasma proteins. The Company believes that PlasmaTech's proprietary fractionation process is expected to significantly enhance yields of specific high-value proteins, including alpha-1 antitrypsin, expanding market opportunities while greatly enhancing margins. The Company believes that PlasmaTech's lead product opportunity, alpha-1 antitrypsin ("AAT"), will offer a potentially high revenue, short time-to-market respiratory product for treatment of inherited COPD, or alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency ("AATD"), among other indications. In addition, the SDF process is expected to produce higher yields of other high-value proteins with significant therapeutic benefit.

The Company believes that PlasmaTech's proprietary fractionation process is expected to significantly enhance yields of key value blood proteins, including alpha-1 antitrypsin, expanding market opportunities while greatly enhancing margins. The Company obtained rights to utilize and sub-license to other pharmaceuticals firms, the recently patented improved methods for the extraction of therapeutic biologics from human plasma. The Company believes that PlasmaTech's lead product opportunity, alpha-1 antitrypsin (ATT), will offer a low-risk, high revenue, short time-to-market respiratory product (AAT) for treatment of inherited COPD (pulmonary emphysema), among other indications. Additionally, the ability to extract several additional therapeutically useful and important proteins, due to the process being less destructive than historical fractionation processes, may enable the Company to seek new therapeutic applications and address high-value-added orphan indications.

"I am pleased to be joining PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals at this exciting time in its development," stated Scott Schorer, Chief Executive Officer. "The innovative and disruptive fractionation technology can translate into significant value for shareholders, both directly and through multiple partnering and sub-licensing opportunities. I look forward to working with all of the Company's stakeholders in maximizing this significant opportunity."

"The base technology of the plasma fractionation business has evolved very little since the original Cohn cold ethanol process, developed in the 1940's," stated Harrison Wehner, President and Chief Financial Officer. "The ability to greatly enhance yields of specific proteins using our technology will enable expanded supplies to meet the growing needs of these types of drugs globally. We look forward to working with global plasma fractionators, contract manufacturers and eventually pharmaceuticals companies to implement this proprietary process, produce proteins and drive value for the Company's shareholders."

Mr. Scott Schorer has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals. He has served over 18 years in a variety of senior management and board positions, including as CEO and President, and has experience in all aspects of operations including research and development, intellectual property, manufacturing, sales and marketing. Additionally, Mr. Schorer has extensive experience as advisor to operating companies, venture capital firms and private equity firms. Previously, he was President, Americas, of Systagenix Wound Management, was President & CEO of Innovative Spinal Technologies, and was Co-Founder, President & CEO of CentriMed. Mr. Schorer served with distinction in the US Army, 82nd Airborne, and holds a B.E and B.A. from Dartmouth College and Thayer School of Engineering.

Mr. Harrison Wehner has been appointed President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Wehner has over 20 years experience in investment banking advising on equity and debt finance and mergers and acquisitions advisory assignments. Previously, Mr. Wehner held various senior banking roles at Canaccord Genuity, CitiGroup, and UBS where he worked on a variety of banking transactions in the healthcare sector, including advisory and transactional experience in the blood fractionation business. Mr. Wehner holds a BA from The College of William and Mary, and an MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

The Company is planning to schedule an investor conference call shortly to update investors on the recent developments.

Company Strengthens Intellectual Property Protection in Additional Global Market

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2014 -- ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., an emerging biopharmaceutical company, has received notification from the Japan Patent Office that a patent for MuGard and ProctiGard has been granted. The patent covers a wide range of liquid formulations for the prevention and treatment of mucosal diseases and disorders.

"Following our recent European licensing agreement with Norgine, the strengthening of our world-wide intellectual property position for MuGard and ProctiGard further supports our commercial efforts and enhances our ability to license both supportive cancer care products in Japan," said Jeffrey Davis, President and CEO of Access. "It is with this in mind that we continue to pursue opportunities within the Japanese market as we believe in the benefit both MuGard and ProctiGard can offer patients when undergoing anticancer treatments."

MuGard® Mucoadhesive Oral Wound Rinse is indicated for the management of oral mucositis/stomatitis (that may be caused by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) and all types of oral wounds (mouth sores and injuries), including aphthous ulcers/canker sores and traumatic ulcers, such as those caused by oral surgery or ill-fitting dentures or braces. MuGard provides the oral mucosa with a thin protective hydrogel layer which has been demonstrated in several clinical studies of mucositis to benefit patients in terms of reduced pain and discomfort as well as a reduction in objective mucositis scores.

Access recently announced that one of the oldest peer-reviewed journals in oncology, the American Cancer Society's journal publication, Cancer, featured MuGard as the cover article of its May 2014 edition. The publication, entitled "Multi-Institutional, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy of a Mucoadhesive Hydrogel (MuGard) in Mitigating Oral Mucositis Symptoms in Patients Being Treated With Chemoradiation Therapy for Cancers of the Head and Neck," discusses data on Access' post-marketing clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of MuGard in controlling symptoms caused by oral mucositis in 120 patients receiving chemoradiation therapy for the treatment of cancers of the head and neck. In the trial, MuGard was shown to be superior to the sham control saline-bicarbonate rinse in mitigating oral mucositis symptoms and delaying oral mucositis progression.

About MuGard
MuGard is available by prescription only and is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the formulation. MuGard received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is marketed by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States. MuGard is also licensed in China, RHEI/Jian An, and in Korea with Hamni Pharmaceuticals.

About ProctiGard
ProctiGard is a treatment options for rectal mucositis and radiation proctitis, a debilitating oncology side effect. ProctiGard received 510(K) FDA clearance in July 2014. Access currently holds global commercialization rights for ProctiGard.

About Oral Mucositis
Oral mucositis ("OM") is a debilitating side effect of some radiation and chemotherapy cancer treatments, characterized by sores and ulcers in the mouth and throat that make swallowing difficult or impossible. It is estimated that 97% of patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer, 70% of patients receiving stem cell transplantation and up to 40% of patients receiving conventional chemotherapy develop oral mucositis.

About Rectal Mucositis / Radiation Proctitis (RP)
Rectal mucositis, and specifically radiation proctitis, is the inflammation and damage to the lower portion of the colon, primarily the sigmoid colon and rectum, after exposure to x-rays or ionizing radiation as part of radiation therapy. RP is most common after treatments for cancer, such as cervical, colon, and prostate cancer. RP can be acute, occurring within weeks of initiation of therapy, or can occur months or years after treatment. Experts believe that RP occurs due to damage to the blood vessels that occurs as part of the radiation therapy.

NEW PRODUCT OFFERS TREATMENT TO SIGNIFICANT UNMET MEDICAL NEED IN SUPPORTIVE CANCER CARE

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2014 -- ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a developer of new products for oncology supportive care, announced today that it has received 510(K) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ProctiGard™, its novel treatment for symptomatic management of rectal mucositis. The Company indicated its development of ProctiGard™ is a direct response to dialogue with the oncology community that is looking for better, more treatment options for rectal mucositis and radiation proctitis, a debilitating oncology side effect. Access believes that ProctiGard is a first-in-class treatment option that addresses a significant unmet medical need. Access currently holds global commercialization rights for ProctiGard.

"This second FDA marketing clearance is an important milestone for Access following the decision to focus on the development and commercialization of a portfolio of follow-on proprietary products," said Jeffrey Davis, CEO of Access Pharmaceuticals. He continued, "Rectal mucositis and radiation proctitis, presenting as inflammation and damage to the lower part of colon, is a common adverse event of the radiotherapy of tumors in the abdominal and pelvic region with no well-established standard of care. With the introduction of ProctiGard™, we look forward to providing cancer patients with an important treatment that manages this debilitating disease."

Radiation proctitis (RP) is a condition analogous to oral mucositis in the oral cavity, concerning the inflammation and damage to lower parts of the colon following pelvic radiation to the region. Rectal mucositis, a broader condition, can also be caused by factors other than radiation, including bacterial, viral or fungal infections, parasites, contact allergies or food allergies, and surgery. It is estimated that there are in excess of 250,000 new cases of prostate, cervical, rectal, testicular, bladder and endometrial cancer diagnosed each year. Approximately 50% of these patients require radiation therapy, and roughly 75% of patients undergoing pelvic irradiation experience radiation proctitis. Access is actively evaluating commercialization options for ProctiGard™, including the seeking of global marketing partners globally.
