SAN DIEGO — Nascent Biotech, Inc (OTCQB: NBIO) (the “Company” or “Nascent”) is pleased to announce that the Company will soon begin Phase 1 clinical trials for a treatment of Brain Cancer, including, glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest form of brain cancer.
The study will employ Nascent’s monoclonal, antibody, Pritumumab (“PTB”) and will be conducted in collaboration with a Southern CA Cancer Center as noted in their release which can be viewed at https://www.nascentbiotech.com/hoag-is-first-in-nation-to-test-innovative-antibody-brain-cancer-drug/
Nascent’s lead therapeutic asset, PTB, is a natural human antibody that works by binding to ectodomain vimentin (EDV), a protein expressed on the surface of epithelial cancers. The PTB antibody is used as a targeted immunotherapy, which unlike chemotherapy, targets only the cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.
Because EDV is found in a variety of cancers, these important clinical trials of PTB could have implications for a broad range of more common cancers, such as breast, colon and lung. The current Phase 1 trials have been uniquely designed to ultimately treat a variety of brain cancers from gliomas and other primary brain tumors to brain metastases and leptomeningeal cancers arising from breast, lung and other solid tumors.
Sean Carrick, CEO of Nascent Biotech, states, “Nascent is committed to opening this trial and delivering this promising treatment to patients afflicted with this devastating disease.“
