Patients with Incurable Brain Cancers Find New Hope in University Study, Upcoming CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) Clinical Trial

Apr 7, 2021

  • Glioblastoma Multiforme (often known simply as GBM) is a fatal, incurable class of brain cancers that usually leaves patients only about 15 months to live once they are diagnosed
  • A recent study by the Washington University School of Medicine found that the length of survivability appeared to improve when the standard chemotherapy regimen was given in the morning instead of the evening
  • Brain cancer drug developer CNS Pharmaceuticals is also working on a solution to improve the quality of GBM care, seeing hope in its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, which showed promise in a small Phase 1 trial nearly 15 years ago
  • One patient from that Phase 1 trial was still alive and cancer-free as of the most recent assessment in November
  • CNS expects to begin a larger, multi-center potentially pivotal trial imminently (as well as collaborating on two Polish trials conducted by sublicensee partner WPD Pharmaceuticals), comparing Berubicin’s performance to the chemotherapy drug lomustine in hundreds of patients at nearly 60 oncology centers around the world

A new study recently completed by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that glioblastoma (“GBM”) brain cancer patients receiving the current chemotherapy standard of care had longer survivability rates if they switched from receiving treatments in the evening to receiving the treatments in the morning — encouraging news for patients with the incurable illness, as well as for neuro-oncology researchers attempting to develop improved treatments, including biopharmaceutical company CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP).

“In my lab, we were studying daily rhythms in astrocytes, a cell type found in the healthy brain. We discovered some cellular events in healthy cells varied with time of day,” professor of biology Erik D. Herzog, PhD, stated in a Science Daily report on the study Herzog co-authored with professor of…
