Glenmark – Glenmark Pharmaceuticals inaugurates new Antibody Manufacturing Facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland 
The company says the facility supplements existing in-house discovery and development capabilities and will supply material for clinical development. Glenmark Pharmaceuticals’ Swiss research centre is an integrated antibody discovery and development unit with in-house capabilities and infrastructure for conducting antibody discovery, cell line development, in vitro testing and characterisation of antibodies, process development and analytical research. The new manufacturing facility supplements the research and development capabilities and will enable production of clinical grade material.
Single-use bioreactor systems and a suite for manufacturing cell banks are included in the new facility, which is fully compliant with quality, environmental and safety standards for manufacturing clinical trial material. Michael Buschle, President – Biologics, at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, said: ‘This state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is a testimony to Glenmark’s commitment to growing its R&D and manufacturing facility in the canton of Neuchâtel.
We have been doing cutting-edge work in the area of novel monoclonal antibodies and have several monoclonal antibody candidates and bispecific antibodies in the pipeline.
The manufacturing facility will help us bring these antibodies to the clinic faster.’ There are currently 69 staff at the research centre developing biologics for the treatment of pain, inflammatory, oncologic and respiratory conditions. In 10 years, the centre has filed several patents on novel biologic entities: GBR 500, its most advanced candidate, has been licensed to Sanofi and is currently in Phase II development; GBR 900, a molecule for the treatment of chronic pain, is currently in Phase I; and GBR 830, an anti OX-40 antagonist, is scheduled to enter the clinic later this year

Glenmark GBR 500 enters into Phase II clinical development for ulcerative colitis
17 September 2012
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, has commenced the Phase II study of GBR 500 for ulcerative colitis.
GBR 500, an antagonist of the VLA2 (alpha2-beta1) integrin, is a first-in-class therapeutic monoclonal antibody for chronic autoimmune disorders.
The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will investigate the efficacy and safety of GBR 500 in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC).
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals chief scientific officer Dr Michael Buschle said that UC represents an area of substantial unmet medical need, despite treatment advances in recent years.
“We’re pleased with the continued progress of our partnership with Sanofi and excited about the commencement of this trial,” Buschle said.
The trial, which will be conducted at multiple clinical sites in North America and Europe, is expected to involve approximately 84 patients.
Patients participating in the study will receive multiple doses of either GBR 500 or placebo, administered over a period of several weeks.
Glenmark has completed Phase I of GBR 500 in the US, won licensing rights to all therapeutic indications from Sanofi and is conducting the clinical development programme.
The trial is part of a strategic global collaboration between Glenmark and Sanofi to investigate GBR 500 for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders.
MUMBAI, India, May 16, 2011
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Out-Licenses Novel Monoclonal Antibody, GBR 500, to Sanofi
Combined Upfront and Potential Development, Regulatory and Commercial Milestone Payments Could Total US$613 Mn
MUMBAI, India, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Glenmark Pharmaceuticals S.A (GPSA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited India (GPL), announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Sanofi to grant Sanofi a license for the development and commercialization of GBR 500, a novel monoclonal antibody for the treatment of Crohn’s Disease and other inflammatory conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the coming month subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Antitrust Improvements Act.
Under the terms of the agreement, Glenmark will receive an upfront payment of US$ 50 million, of which US$ 25 million will be paid upon closing of the transaction and US$ 25 million, which is contingent upon Sanofi’s positive assessment of certain data to be provided by Glenmark. In addition, Glenmark could receive potential success-based development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments. The total of these payments could reach US$613 Mn. In addition, Glenmark is eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on sales of products commercialized under the license.
GBR 500 is an antagonist of the VLA-2 (alpha2-beta1) integrin. It is a first-in-class therapeutic monoclonal antibody and has established proof of concept in animal models across a range of anti-inflammatory conditions. Glenmark has completed Phase I dosing of GBR 500 in the US and the drug has been well tolerated with a good pharmacokinetic profile. Plans are in place to initiate clinical proof of concept studies in Crohn’s Disease. Sanofi has licensed the rights to all therapeutic indications.
“There continues to be a strong medical need for safer and more efficacious products for the treatment of Inflammatory Diseases,” said Elias Zerhouni, M.D., President, Global Research & Development, Sanofi. “GBR500 brings an innovative approach to Sanofi’s Immuno-Inflammation portfolio, which we believe may address a significant gap in treating Inflammatory Diseases which would be of huge benefit to patients”.
Glenn Saldanha MD and CEO of GPL, “This collaboration on a novel first-in-class monoclonal antibody validates Glenmark’s world-class innovative R&D capabilities in the drug discovery arena. We are pleased to have this second licensing collaboration with Sanofi, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and the first one from Glenmark in the field of novel biologics”.

reviews from net
My skin is very much oily hence I get these ugly Pimples very profoundly. On top of it i have the habit of bursting out the puss from these pimples. I always play it with my hands and as a result forms some very ugly scars on my face which are visible from distant away.Though I am bit dark with my completion ,even then It’s clearly visible and my mother scolds me like hell for bursting the pimples out.Honestly I just can’t stop my hands reaching out for them no matter how busy I am so Finally has to resort to some ointments to reduce the visibility of the scars.
I did try few popular products but were of no use basically. The spots didn’t get reduced but instead effected the completion of my face.Finally my mother came to my rescue. She had hear about this Elovera Cream from some one and bought home one for me.Initially i was a bit skeptic but finally I thought of trying it. For the first few days it had no effect what-so-ever , but slowly it started clearing the skin blemishes. My skin started showing it’s effects and the scars became less visible. Not only does it clear the scars but it helped me to fight the ugly pimples as well.
My face became much more glowing and healthy and i use the cream regularly even now.It’s really a magical product and should try it for clearing the blemishes and other skin problem.
