    Galena says Teva will co-develop NeuVax in Israel

    Galena says Teva will help develop and market its cancer treatment NeuVax in Israel

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Galena Biopharma Inc. said Tuesday that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., one of the world's largest drugmakers, will develop and market its cancer treatment NeuVax in Israel.

    Galena said Teva will handle the development and regulatory process in Israel and conduct at least four clinical trials of NeuVax in the country. The companies did not disclose terms of the deal, but Galena said it will receive "significant royalty payments" on sales of NeuVax if it is approved by Israeli regulators.

    NeuVax is intended to induce immunity to breast cancer recurrence in certain patients. The peptide vaccine is intended for women who are not eligible for treatment with Roche's breast cancer drug Herceptin because they have lower levels of the HER-2 gene.

    The Lake Oswego, Ore., company does not have any products on the market. NeuVax is its most advanced experimental drug.

    Shares of Galena rose 26 cents, or 12.8 percent, to $2.30 in morning trading. Shares of Israel-based Teva picked up 20 cents to $40.75.

      It’s taken a while, but Microsoft’s big plan for conquering consumers’ living rooms is now finally coming together. For years, major tech companies have been obsessed with getting their software and applications onto television screens and have mostly employed a series of set-top boxes that have done little to spark consumer interest. But unlike Apple and Google, Microsoft has always had a secret weapon that it’s been waiting to deploy to make sure that its software becomes entrenched on users’ television sets: Namely, the Xbox. For years now the Xbox has been the MVP of Microsoft’s consumer electronics division. While the company has badly lagged behind in both the smartphone and tablet realms, it has stayed strong in the gaming
