B OM

Study showed a markedly reduced rate of Severe OM (WHO Grade ≥ 3): Active Arm (Brilacidin): 2 of 9 patients (22.2 percent); Control Arm (Placebo): 7 of 10 patients (70 percent)

Formal collaboration with pharmaceutical companies that have expressed an interest in partnering Brilacidin-OM may well assist further with expediting the drug candidate’s development timetable. Some of these partnering conversations have matured to the point of potentially structuring mutually beneficial licensing agreements, pending the final Phase 2 study results.

The Company believes that a successful Phase 2 trial would be a major breakthrough. Fast Track designation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Brilacidin-OM has already been awarded. In addition, the Company plans to apply for FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation should top-line end of study results reflect similar efficacy (and safety) to that observed at interim, in which patients treated with Brilacidin-OM experienced a markedly reduced rate of severe OM compared to those on placebo.

By 2030, the global annual incidence of Head and Neck Cancer is expected to exceed 1 million cases
