Del Mar Pharmaceuticals - VAL-083 for Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) brain cancer

Our Mission

DelMar Pharmaceuticals is a clinical and commercial stage drug development company with a focus on the treatment of cancer. We are conducting clinical trials in the United States with our product candidate, VAL-083, as a potential new treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. We have also acquired certain exclusive commercial rights to VAL-083 in China where it is approved as a chemotherapy for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and lung cancer.

We aim to develop products that will have a high impact on patient care. In order to accelerate our development timelines and reduce technical risk, we leverage existing clinical and commercial data from a wide range of sources. more »

VAL-083

VAL-083, our first product candidate, represents a "first-in-class" small molecule chemotherapeutic, which means that the molecular structure of VAL-083 is not an analogue or derivative of other small molecule chemotherapeutics approved for the treatment of cancer. VAL-083 has been assessed in more than 40 Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institutes ("NCI") in the United States as a treatment for various cancers including lung, brain, cervical, ovarian tumors and leukemia. Published pre-clinical and clinical data suggest that VAL-083 may be active against a range of tumor types. VAL-083 is approved as a cancer chemotherapeutic in China for the treatment of CML and lung cancer. more »
