Nov. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Power3 Medical Products, Inc. (OTC.BB:PWRM), a leading proteomics company focused on the development of innovative diagnostic tests in the fields of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, announced that it delivered four poster presentations at the 2010 International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD) in Honolulu, Hawaii. These presentations discussed NuroPro, Power3's diagnostic test, and focused on Power3's Alzheimer's disease blood serum biomarkers, test and clinical validation trials.

"In preparation for commercialization, our objective at this meeting was to show how Power3's protein biomarkers and blood tests provide superior solutions for diagnosis and drug response to improve the treatment of Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Ira L. Goldknopf, Power3's President and Chief Scientific Officer. "It was gratifying to receive substantial attention to our posters from representatives of major pharma and clinical research institutions from around the world. They expressed surprise and enthusiasm for our findings, especially those relating to the methods by which Power3's protein biomarkers indicate how patients respond to treatment with the three major anti-dementia drugs."

Power3 Medical Products, Inc. is a leading bio-technology company focused on the development of innovative diagnostic tests in the fields of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). Power3 applies proprietary methodologies to discover and identify protein biomarkers associated with diseases. Through these processes, Power3 has developed a portfolio of products including BC-SeraPro, a proteomic blood serum test for the early detection of breast cancer for which it has completed Phase I clinical trials, and NuroPro, a proteomic blood serum test for the detection of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS diseases, for which it is currently engaged in Phase II clinical trials. These tests are designed to analyze an individual's proteins to detect the presence of disease, a patient's disease progression, a patient's response to a particular drug, and the mechanisms of disease present in the patient for optimal targeted therapy.

Abbott Laboratories  and Enanta Pharmaceuticals announced positive results from a Phase 2 study of ABT-450/r, an investigational, oral protease inhibitor being developed for the treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Initial 3-day and 4-week results suggest that ABT-450/r (ABT-450 with 100mg of ritonavir to support once-daily dosing) demonstrates potent antiviral activity in treatment-naïve adults. Results show that more than 90 percent of patients (21 of 23) on study drug achieved HCV-RNA levels
