We have not heard anything more about the combination of K and S and the prestigious Spore grant! If we did in fact receive it and they are just waiting on safety outcomes before starting, we could be blessed with an announcement this month indicating a new combo trial for K! Remember that this was the first time that renal cell cancer showed shrinkage!
GO CTIX!!!!
BEVERLY, MA – January 24, 2013– Cellceutix Corporation (OTCBB: CTIX) (the “Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering small molecule drugs to treat unmet medical conditions, including drug-resistant cancers and autoimmune diseases, announces today that the Company has received results from in vivo studies conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (“BIDMC”). Cellceutix had earlier reported that they entered into an agreement with BIDMC, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, on an innovative research project with Kevetrin™, the Company’s flagship anti-cancer drug. BIDMC wishes to exploit the nuclear and/or mitochondrial pro-apoptotic function of p53 in melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, two types of cancer that are particularly resistant to therapy.
Research by BIDMC combined Kevetrin™ with sunitinib on cell line 786, a drug-resistant renal cancer. Cellceutix was advised by the researchers that “the Kevetrin/sunitinib combination is the first we’ve used in which actual tumor shrinkage is noted.”
Per protocol, Cellceutix has formally notified BIDMC that it has a strong interest in further collaborative efforts to develop combination treatments with Kevetrin and multikinase VEGF receptor antagonists, particularly VEGFR2 inhibitors. Cellceutix has provided the requested information that will be used to investigate a Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for a phase 2 clinical study.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. BIDMC is the lead recipient of the prestigious National Cancer Institute-funded kidney cancer SPORE grant.
About SPORE
In 1992, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) established the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs), specialized cancer center grants to promote and speed up the exchange between interdisciplinary research in the laboratory to the treatment of patients in the clinical care setting.
SPORE programs allow laboratory and clinical scientists to work collaboratively to plan, design, and implement research programs with the greatest potential to impact cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment.
