Hamlet Pharma is proceeding with the development of BAMLET for pharmaceutical use. A necessary first step is to establish technology for large-scale production of BAMLET. A new production method has been developed and patented and will be used as a basis for scaling up the production process together with Galenica AB.

Galenica AB is a contract research organisation (CRO) providing services in the field of pharmaceutical technology. The company has broad skills and experience in formulation, production and quality control of pharmaceuticals.

The parties have agreed to a development plan, including production technology transfer, testing of biological activity of the product and development of suitable formulations.

‘’BAMLET is a fascinating molecule with potent effects on tumor cells and in animal models of cancer’’ says Catharina Svanborg, Chairman, Hamlet Pharma.

‘’We are pleased to move forward with our second drug candidate and extend the Hamlet Pharma portfolio’’, says Mats Persson, CEO, Hamlet Pharma.

About HAMLET Pharma

HAMLET Pharma, listed on Spotlight, develops drugs based on the unique tumoricidal protein-lipid complex, HAMLET, formed by two natural and harmless molecules found in breast milk. Development focuses primarily on drugs, for the treatment and prevention of cancer. HAMLET kills tumour cells and has proven safe in proof-of-concept studies in animal models. Alpha1H is the synthetic variant of HAMLET, which has enabled development of the agent for clinical trials. Alpha1H kills different types of tumour cells and has demonstrated therapeutic effects on bladder cancer in animal models. Hamlet Pharma has one ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial with Alpha1H in patients with bladder cancer, a costly form of cancer that is difficult to treat and intends to expand its activities into other types of cancer. The first results from the ongoing clinical Phase I/II study shows no side effects of Alpha1H, indicating that the treatment is safe and well tolerated. Alpha1H also demonstrated clinical efficacy compared with patients who received placebo. In addition, Hamlet Pharma develops BAMLET, which is a molecular complex formed by bovine α-lactalbumin and oleic acid. Data from animal models suggest that local BAMLET treatment may be effective against colon cancer.
