HOUSTON—June 28, 2016 – Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: BPTH), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize™ liposomal delivery and antisense technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid drugs, today announced that it has entered into a sponsored research agreement with Thomas Jefferson University to investigate DNAbilize™ antisense DNA technology for the development of a brain cancer immunotherapy that works by activating the patient’s own immune system to fight their cancer.
D. Craig Hooper, Ph.D., Department of Cancer Biology, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University and the Principal Investigator of the study, previously evaluated Bio-Path’s DNAbilize™ liposomal delivery and antisense technology in preclinical studies that demonstrated efficacy, suggesting the potential for a systemic antisense immunotherapy for brain cancers. The objective of the collaboration is to demonstrate that DNAbilize™ delivered systemically would have an effect in redirecting the immune system to fight a patient’s own cancer.
“Brain cancers, such as glioblastoma, are very aggressive and with median survival of about 15 months, novel treatments are urgently needed,” said Peter Nielsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Path. “We are excited to continue our work with Dr. Hooper to further demonstrate the potential of DNAbilize™ to safely and systemically deliver a brain cancer immunotherapy. We are entering the immunotherapy market with a unique approach to triggering the immune system to fight a patient’s cancer. This collaboration offers a significant development opportunity for Bio-Path that has the potential to create a second technology platform of immunotherapy products.”
Does this mean the delivery technology works for immunotherapy treatment? Why else would we add Dr. Hooper to the scientific board?
