DelMar Is Developing Essential New Treatments For Aggressive Brain Cancers

DelMar is conducting a Phase 1/2 clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of VAL-083 as a potential new treatment for GBM patients who have failed standard therapies. Two weeks ago, DelMar reported encouraging interim results from the trial at the Society of Neuro-Oncology annual meeting (press release).

Fifty percent of patients with GBM will fail today’s approved therapies, Temodar® and Avastin®. Tumor resistance to Temodar is well documented and known to be caused by the MGMT enzyme. Studies by the National Cancer Institute and DelMar have shown that VAL-083 acts through a unique mechanism unaffected by MGMT and has activity against a range of cancers.

Temodar generates more than US$950 million annually in global revenues, primarily from the treatment of brain cancer.

In addition to its clinical activities in the U.S., DelMar has acquired the commercial rights to VAL-083 in China, where it is approved for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and lung cancer. DelMar and its manufacturing partner, Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals, plan to work with leading clinicians in China to develop new post-market data to support the sales and marketing of VAL-083 in these indications in China and to expand the market opportunities for the drug on a worldwide basis.

About DelMar Pharmaceuticals

DelMar Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2010 to develop and commercialize proven cancer therapies in new orphan drug indications where patients are failing modern targeted or biologic treatments. The Company’s lead asset, VAL-083, is currently undergoing clinical trials in the United States as a potential treatment for refractory glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. VAL-083 benefits from extensive clinical research sponsored by the U.S. National Cancer Institute and is currently approved for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and lung cancer in China. Published pre-clinical and clinical data suggest that VAL-083 may be active against a range of tumor types via a novel mechanism of action.
