October 10 - Cardium Announces FDA 510(k) Clearance for U.S. Marketing and Sale of Excellagen Formulated Collagen Topical Gel for Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers and Other Dermal Wounds

Professional-Use, Sterile, Syringe-Based Topical Gel: Outcomes-Focused Wound Care Management

Cardium Therapeutics (NYSE Amex: CXM) announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the Company's new Excellagen™ professional-use, sterile, syringe-based advanced wound care product for the management of diabetic foot ulcers and other dermal wounds. Directions for use indicate the application of Excellagen immediately following surgical debridement, which is routinely practiced in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and

Excellagen is a highly-refined fibrillar flowable bovine collagen topical gel (2.6%) that will initially be marketed as a sterile, syringe-based advanced wound care product for the management of diabetic foot ulcers following surgical debridement procedures. In addition to diabetic foot ulcers, Excellagen is also cleared for use in the management of other dermal wounds including partial and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, tunneled/undermined wounds, surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-Moh's surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, wound dehiscence), trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns and skin tears) and draining wounds.

The Company believes that Excellagen provides a new sterile, syringe-based advanced wound care option as there are no other collagen-based wound management products available for professional use in the United States that are considered comparable to Excellagen in terms of its overall formulation, fibrillar nature and product format. Other professional use collagen-based products include granulated collagens that require mixing prior to use, as well as a variety of sheet-based products.

Cardium's Excellagen fibrillar collagen topical gel also represents a new technology and product platform that allows for the potential development of a portfolio of other advanced wound care and therapeutic products. Cardium's Gene Activated Matrix (GAM) technology represents one extension of Cardium's newly FDA-cleared flowable, fibrillar collagen-based matrix for the localized topical delivery of agents that could include anti-infectives, antibiotics, peptides, proteins, small molecules, DNA, stem cells, differentiated cells and conditioned cell media. The Excellagen product is based on Cardium's newly-established manufacturing process, which allows for sterile fill of ready-to-use, single-use syringes for topical application. In addition, the advancement of Excellagen provides the opportunity to perform post-clearance studies to pursue therapeutic claims for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot and pressure ulcers, as well as other wounds, following findings from Cardium's Matrix clinical study which showed that formulated collagen can significantly accelerate reductions in wound radius immediately following application compared to standard of care therapy in diabetic foot ulcers, and can support platelet activation and release of the wound healing protein, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF).

"This FDA regulatory clearance is a significant milestone for Cardium and represents an important step forward in the advancement of our Excellagen technology platform, which we developed and commercially advanced following Cardium's acquisition of the Tissue Repair Company. We look forward to the launch of Excellagen and to helping address the large and rapidly-growing advanced wound care market. We are continuing to work with potential new collaborative partners and exploring additional product opportunities for our Excellagen formulation and additional advanced wound care products that could be based on the Excellagen technology platform. We recently posted an investor presentation on Excellagen to our website. The business focus of our portfolio is centered on health sciences and regenerative medicine and we look forward to initiating the late-stage/registration Aspire clinical study for our Generx® angiogenic therapy as a potential new treatment option for patients with myocardial ischemia due to advanced coronary disease," stated Christopher J. Reinhard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cardium.

AlumiFuel Power Corporation operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, AlumiFuel Power, Inc., a Philadelphia-based early production stage alternative energy company that generates hydrogen gas and steam for multiple applications requiring on-site, on-demand fuel sources.

AFPW News:

October 7 - AlumiFuel Power, Inc. Provides Rationale for Why the PBIS-2000 Portable Balloon Inflation System Technology Can Become the Worldwide Lift Gas Standard

Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. ("API"), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW) (the "Company"), revealed why the PBIS-2000 system can become a global standard following the award of the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) contract announced yesterday. Military and meteorological users from the US, NATO, and around the world have been following API's Portable Balloon Inflation System product development with keen interest, and have indicated that the technology embedded in the PBIS-2000 could offer a superior solution to lift gas requirements in remote and inaccessible locations.

The PBIS-2000 expands the capability of API's current family of hydrogen generators, which includes the PBIS-1000 (for 100g balloons) and the PBIS-lite (designed for 30g pilot balloons). The PBIS-2000 generates sufficient hydrogen to inflate a 200g weather balloon within 20 minutes using up to 6 AlumiFuel Cartridges contained in a single reactor vessel. The system operates at ambient temperature and pressure so that the user never has to deal with a high pressure system such as the industry standard K-Cylinder. After purchasing any unit of the PBIS family, typical customers continue to purchase replacement cartridges to launch up to 700 balloons per unit each year (up to 4,200 cartridges).

The current addressable weather balloon lift gas market is estimated at $150-$200 million per year, and encompasses military as well as civil government meteorological users worldwide. Traditionally, helium has been used as the primary lift gas for weather balloons, but with the increasing scarcity and cost of helium, users are rapidly switching to hydrogen and API's PBIS family is far more mobile, safe, cost effective and cheaper to maintain than other on-site hydrogen generation systems. The cost, complexity, and safety of the hydrogen supply chain is greatly improved because no hydrogen is transported or stored. An on-site water source of any quality can be used to generate the hydrogen in the PBIS system. Certain meteorological users have indicated that the use of the PBIS and AlumiFuel cartridges for the launching of two weather balloons daily from each of its sites would be only one-third the cost of hydrogen K-Cylinders delivered to various launching sites — an annual savings of over $120,000 per site, not to mention the avoidance of having to distribute and handle the awkward, heavy, high pressure K-Cylinders. In fact, users are now able to launch weather balloons from sites previously not accessible to K-Cylinders.

Moreover, the technology and configuration of PBIS systems provide an additional capability beyond balloon launching. PBIS units in the field also give users an added benefit by creating a ready-made logistics supply chain for hydrogen to power fuel cells. The 99.99+% purity of the hydrogen, as verified by an independent research lab, makes it ideally suited for fuel cells serving remote and man-portable power applications. Integrated with a fuel cell, two AlumiFuel cartridges could provide nearly 600Wh of electricity, resulting in a unique "hydrogen genset." API and its portable power partner, Ingenium Technologies of Rockford, Illinois, are pursuing back-up power market opportunities.

API's President & CEO, Mr. David Cade, said, "The advanced technology of the PBIS-2000 can be engineered into all of the PBIS family products, providing even more flexibility, user-friendliness, and rapid launching than current hydrogen lift gas systems, as well as cheaper and safer logistics. For these reasons, API believes the PBIS family can become the field standard and lift gas product of choice for NATO military users and meteorological customers worldwide."
