DBP International AB and N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Center of Belarus has entered into a new agreement about the clinical use of Temodex
Background:
On December 5, 2016 Double Bond Pharmaceutical International AB (publ) (“DBP”) announced a collaboration with the N. N. Alexandrov National Cancer Center in Belarus (“Alexandrov Cancer Center”). The main objective of this agreement was to gain access to the experience and resources relevant to the development of DBP's products such as SI-053, a drug to be used to treat brain tumors. In January 2017, the partnership agreement was further developed. It consisted of following up patients with brain tumors treated at that center and aimed to study several key parameters that could potentially accelerate the process of making SI-053 more commercially useful worldwide. According to the agreement, a sample from all patients with brain tumors treated with Temodex would be used for analysis of MGMT status. The partnership also included that all clinical data from these patients were dedicated only to DBP.
DBP’s announcement:
Today, DBP has entered into a new agreement with Alexandrov Cancer Center. This collaborative work includes a collection of more comprehensive clinical data in the application of Temodex to patients in Belarus.
"We want to know as much as possible about the efficacy and safety of Temodex in a routine clinical setting, - says Igor Lokot, CEO of DBP - This knowledge of the product will be helpful and will be used for our international marketing strategy. In addition, it will provide more insight into the development of DBP's own product - SI053, which is expected to enter phase 1 study as early as next year.”
