(OTCQB:OBMP) ("OncBioMune" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of a proprietary therapeutic cancer vaccine immunotherapy and targeted cancer therapy, is pleased to announce that it has received a letter of interest from CATO BioVentures, the venture capital affiliate of Cato Holding, a privately held family fund. This agreement is in support of the development plan of OncBioMune’s patented CD71-targeted chemotherapy combining paclitaxel, gallium, and transferrin, otherwise known as “PGT.” PGT is designed to deliver the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel to cancer cells over-expressing the transferrin receptor (aka CD71). Paclitaxel is currently FDA-approved in two forms: as solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-paclitaxel, Taxol®) and protein-based paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel, ABRAXANE®). PGT binds paclitaxel to the human protein transferrin as opposed to albumin, which is employed in nab-paclitaxel. This creates the potential to target the paclitaxel to CD71, which has been shown to be over-expressed on many different cancer types. Additionally, PGT takes advantage of the fact that the transferrin protein has binding sites for iron that can bind a different metal ion, gallium, which has anti-cancer activity. In theory, this creates a novel protein drug complex which has the capacity to deliver two, non-cross resistant cancer therapeutics in a targeted fashion. “We are excited that CATO BioVentures has a belief in our science that would motivate them to become a strategic investor in OncBioMune. We are hopeful that this show of support from such a high quality provider will act as a catalyst to assist us in additional favorable fundraising activities,” commented Dr. Brian Barnett, Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune. “It has already been a pleasure working with the team of the CATO Research CRO arm as we start the process of putting together a clinical development plan for our proprietary therapy, PGT, and strive toward the goal of getting PGT accessible to patients with refractory cancers that represents a large area of unmet medical need.” Sign up for OncBioMune email alerts at: http://oncbiomune.com/email-alerts/ .
