1 R.G.C.C.-RESEARCH GENETIC CANCER CENTRE Ltd Dear Dr. Gilbard and Dr Hammon, Florina, 29 / 4 / 9 EX-VIVO TEST SCREEN We send you the results from the analysis made about a patient (??????????????) suffering from breast carcinoma. The that was sent to us for analysis was a of ml of whole blood that contained EDTA-Ca as anti-coagulant, all packed with water ice. In our laboratory we made the following : We isolated the malignant cells using Oncoquick with a membrane that isolates malignant cells from normal cells after centrifugation and positive and negative selection using multiple cell markers. The results during the isolation procedure are presented below : Table of markers: CD45 positive cells (Hematologic origin cells) CD45 negative cells (non Hematologic origin) CD15 NEGATIVE CD34 NEGATIVE CD3 NEGATIVE CD99 NEGATIVE BCR-ABL NEGATIVE EpCam POSITIVE CD34 NEGATIVE VHL mut. NEGATIVE CD19 NEGATIVE CD19 NEGATIVE CD133 POSITIVE CD31 PSMA MUC-1 CD44 CD63 NEGATIVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVE POSITIVE NEGATIVE Index of marker : CD45: Hematologic origin cell marker, CD15: Hematologic malignancy marker, CD3: Hematologic malignancy marker, CD34: hematological stem cell and blast cell marker, epithelioid sarcoma marker, CD19: hematology B cell origin marker Bcr-Abl: Hematologic malignancy marker, CD99: Sarcoma marker, VHL: renal carcinoma marker, CD19: Lung cancer cell marker (NSCLC) MUC-1: lung cancer cell marker (SCLC), CD63: melanoma cell marker, CD44, CD133: tumour stem cell marker, PSMA: prostate cancer specific tumour stem cell marker, CD31: endothelial cell membrane marker. Conclusion: We notice that after isolation procedure there are remaining malignant cells. The concentration of the isolated population is 3.3 cells/ 7.5 ml (SD +/-,3 cell) (1% was CD44+ve, approx. 5% was CD133+ve). Regardly, Dr Papasotiriou Ioannis MD Head of molecular medicine dpt of R.G.C.C.-RESEARCH GENETIC CANCER CENTRE Index of circulating cells number: (upper limit : progress of disease, lower than limit: beginning of disease or stable of disease when the patient is on treatment plan) Breast cancer: 5cell/7.5ml, Prostate cancer cells/ml, Sarcoma: 15cells/6.5ml, Colon cancer: 5cells/ml, Lung cancer (Lc=, r=.99): 1cell/ml. *This test will NOT DETECT cancers of the brain or other cancers that have been encapsulated by the body or are not releasing cancer cells into the blood stream. This is not a stand alone test, we still recommend using biopsy, blood markers and/or appropriate scans with this test when cancer is suspected or known to exist. AT

2 R.G.C.C.-RESEARCH GENETIC CANCER CENTRE Ltd Dear Dr. Gilbard and Dr. Hammon, Florina, 29 / 4 / 9 EX-VIVO TEST We send you the results from the analysis made about a patient (??????????) suffering from breast carcinoma stage. The that was sent to us for analysis was a of ml of whole blood that contained EDTA-Ca as anti-coagulant, packed with water ice. In our laboratory we made the following : We isolated the malignant cells using Oncoquick with a membrane that isolates malignant cells from normal cells. Then we centrifuged at 35g for 1 min and we collected the supernatant with the malignant cells. Then we proceed to isolation of malignant cells from mononuclear cells by negative selection. Then we developed forty eight cell cultures in a fetal calf serum media. In each culture of the well plate we added a biological modifier substance (H2O2, ascorbic acid, mistletoe, quercetin, indol-3-carbinol, c-statin, Ukrain, Poly MVA, Co enzyme Q1, IP6, pancreatic enzymes, salvestrol, Uncaria Tomentosa, annonaceous acetogenins, cesium chloride, amygdalin-b17-, artesunate, maitake, lycopene, curcumin, green tee extract, ellagic acid, N-acetyl-cysteine, UltraTreinols Plus, prolamine iodine, Grape seed supreme, Dim avail, Ganoderma, Astragalus Complex, Vitanox, Echinacea Premium Blend, Burdock complex, Vitamin E (tocopherol), superoxide dismutase (SOD), PME, selenium, aloe vera, acemannan, Acai berry, Avemar pulvis, AHCC-Active Hexose Correlated Compound, sodium bicarbonate, Thymex, OPC, Intenzyme, Oncoplex, cruciferous, Larrea) that is used in clinical application. Then we developed those cultures and we harvested a every 24 hours and made the following assays. In the culture that it contains all substance we measure the apoptotic ability using the oncogen apoptosis kit In the culture that it contains the Ukrain we measure the inhibition of tyrosin kinase catalytic ability from growth factors receptor (EGF-r, IGF-r,) and the production of cytokines PBMC In the culture that contains quercetin we measure the inhibition of EGF and IGF. In the culture that contains indol-3-carbinol we measure the inhibition of VEGF and FGF and PDGF In the culture that it contains the mistletoe we measure the inhibition of tyrosin kinase catalytic ability from growth factors receptor (EGF-r, IGF-r,) and the production of cytokines and the increase of PBMC In the culture that it contains the H2O2 we measure viability of the culture in 4 days of treatment. In the culture that it contains the ascorbic acid we measure the catalytic activity of GSH and GSSG (redox reaction) and the induction of cytochrome C (apoptosis). In the culture that it contains the Poly MVA we measure the catalytic activity of GSH and GSSG (redox reaction) and the induction of cytochrome C (apoptosis) In the culture that it contains the artesunate we measure the catalytic activity of GSH and GSSG (redox reaction for free radical since artesunate bind free radicals with iron molecule ), the inhibition of VEGF, FGF and PDGF (since it act to the angiogenesis cascade reactions) and the induction of cytochrome C (apoptosis).

9 R.G.C.C.-RESEARCH GENETIC CANCER CENTRE Ltd Dear Dr. Gilbard and Dr. Hammon, EX-VIVO TEST Florina, 29 / 4 / 9 We send you the results from the analysis made about a patient (?????????????) suffering from breast carcinoma stage. The that was sent to us for analysis was a of ml of whole blood that contained EDTA-Ca as anti-coagulant, all packed with water ice. In our laboratory we made the following : We isolated the malignant cells using Oncoquick with a membrane that isolates malignant cells from normal cells after centrifugation and positive selection using epithelial cell marker and negative selection using anti-cd45 particles (isolated 3.3 cells/7.5 ml SD +/-.3 cell). Then we developed cell cultures in a fetal calf serum media and at the same time we developed colony cultures in soft agar. In each culture of the well plate we added a chemotherapeutic substance that is used in clinical application. Then we developed those cultures and we harvested a every 24 hours for 6 days and made the following assays. There was made an isolation of the genomic DNA using the kit Invisorb of INVITEK. We isolated mrna using the mrna Magprep blood isolation kit of NOVAGEN. We traced the mrna and the genes of MDR1 ( multi drug resistant 1 ), MRP and LRP using the technique of Northern Blot.(resistance in drugs used in chemotherapies) We tracked the mrna and the gene of topoisomerase I and II a & b using the technique of Northern Blot. ( sensitivity in cytostatic inhibitors of topoisomerase ) We tracked the quantity of the mrna of the tubulin using the RT-PCR.( sensitivity in cytostatics of the kind of taxanes and the products of the alkaloids of Vinca ) We defined the activity of the enzyme complex of the glutathione-s- transferases (GST kit of NOVAGEN). ( resistance in drugs used in chemotherapies- especially in platinum compounds ) We defined the DNA methyl transferase which is a target of the alkylating factors (products of platinum, cyclophosphamide and the products of it ) We defined the mrna of the thymidylate synthetase ( TS ) and the DHFR. (sensitivity in 5-FU, capecitabine and methotrexate ) We defined the mrna of the reductase of 5-CMP (sensitivity in gemcitabine) We defined the receptors of the MMP and the receptors of laminin (invasive ability of the tumor ) We defined the expression of protein p27 that is responsible for cell arrest in G stage. We defined the VEGF ( neoangiogenetic factor ) and the induction of the apoptotic pathway using ONCOGENE kit from NOVAGEN. We defined the ability of acting of the nucleus protein kinases which are a target of the carbazine compounds. We defined the overexpression of TGFa and TGFb factors as targets for suramin sulfate. We defined the overexpression of somatostatin receptor (SS-R), of COX-2 and 5-LOX, of c-erb-b2 (Her/Neu2), c-erb-b1, and androgen estrogen and progesterone receptors.

10 The above conclusions were also confirmed by the cell cultures of the tumor and in the diagrams there is a development curve for each category of cytostatics cisplatin carboplatin cyclophosfamide ifosfamide dacarbazine oxaliplatin mitomycin melphalan treosulfan temozolomide procarbazine BCNU ACNU CCNU Bleomycin Trofosfamide Estramustine *Bendamustin doxorubicin liposomal doxorubicin epirubicin daunorubicin dactinomycin CPT11 topotecan idarubicin 1 Paclitaxel Docetaxel Vincristin Vinblastin Vinorelbin MDR1 MRP LRP GST

From the whole neoplasmic population we have an expression of MDR1 in a percentage of 65% over control.( positive in the check of resistance ) 2. The activity of GST is stable in the low limits (no resistance to platinum compounds ) 3. The activity of gammagc is stable in the low limits (no resistance to platinum compounds ) 4. The activity of CES1 and CES2 is normal range (no resistance to camptothecin compounds ) 5. The concentration of p1 is in normal range 6. Increased activity of the laminin and the MMP ( increased invasive ability )

12 7. There is great sensitivity in taxanes (especially in docetaxel) and great sensitivity noticed in alkaloids of Vinca (especially in vinorelbine). 8. Minimal sensitivity noticed in 5FC, in 5-FU, in UFT, in FUdR in capecitabine, in raltitrexed, in methotrexate and in pemetrexed but there is great sensitivity in gemcitabine. 9. Decreased sensitivity in alkylating factors. 1. There is great overexpression of TGF b (25% over control), of NFkBeta (35% over control) and EGF-r (%,<7%) growth factors and suppression of expression of isoforms of IκB (a, d, e) (15% below control). 11. It appears to have no sensitivity in the inhibitors of topoisomerase II a and II b. 12. There is great sensitivity in the inhibitors of topoisomerase I (especially in topotecan). 13.There is no overexpression of SS-r receptor and there is no overexpression of 5-LOX mrna, of COX-2, of c-erb-b2, of c-erb-b1, of estrogen receptor mrna and progesterone receptor mrna. 14. We notice great neoangiogenetic ability (overexpression of VEGF-R % over control ). 15. Finally, there is no sensitivity in dacarbazine. 16. We notice that taurolidin cannot induce the apoptosis to the malignant cells (in IV route dosage). 17. We notice that taurolidin can induce the apoptosis to the malignant cells (in intraperitoneal route dosage) 18.We notice down-regulation of HSP 27 (Heat shock proteins) (3% below control), HSP 9 (5% below control) and HSP 72 (% below control). Conclusion : The specific tumor appears to have resisting populations because of the MDR1 overexpression that can be reversed by the use of verapamil combined with disulfiram. The neoplasmatic cells have the greatest sensitivity in the inhibitor of tubulin dimmer polymerization vinorelbine, in the nucleus spindle stabilizer docetaxel in the antagonist gemcitabine, and in the inhibitor of topoisomerase I topotecan. Also you can use: cetuximab (C225) as inhibitor of EGF-r, bortezomib as inhibitor of proteasome over-activity and indirectly the transcriptional activity of NFκB and bevacizumab as inhibitor of angiogenesis.
