News coverage of approval of the
California stem cell agency's ambitious, $70 million Alpha clinic<\/b>
plan has been quite light but does include one article in the Los
Angeles Times<\/b>, the state's largest circulation newspaper.<\/div>
<\/div>
The concept proposal was ratified last
week by the agency's board with RFAs scheduled to be posted in
October. The agency is seeking to build a basis for a robust stem
cell clinic business in California that would have an international
reach and give the state dominance in the industry.<\/div>
<\/div>
Karen Kaplan<\/b>'s story in the Times<\/a> last
week quoted CIRM<\/b> President Alan Trounson<\/b> as saying in 2010 about
agency's goals.<\/div>

“If we went 10 years and had no
clinical treatments, it would be a failure. We need to demonstrate
that we are starting a whole new medical revolution.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

The stem cell agency was created by
voters in 2004 and funded with $3 billion in borrowed money. It will
run out of funds for new grants in 2017.<\/div>
<\/div>
Outsourcing-Pharma.com<\/b> caught up with
the plan this week in a story <\/a>that said,<\/div>

“The opportunity to run trails under
the well-funded CIRM could be a boon for CROs (contract research
organizations)....But the difficulties of handling the stem cells and
gathering enough patients to enroll in a trial may prove daunting for whatever
company tries to conduct the trials.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

The article also quoted CIRM spokesman
Kevin McCormack<\/b> as saying,<\/div>

 “No one has reached out to us yet
because the specific details of what we are looking for in the
clinics have not yet been decided.”<\/p><\/blockquote>

That said, considerable information is
available here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>.)<\/div>

Alpha clinic plan was GenNews.<\/b><\/div>
