Potentially significant therapeutic benefit against metastatic, Annamycin shown to reach "sanctuary sites" of cancer
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WPD Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: WBIO)(FSE: 8SV1) (the “Company” or “WPD”) a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce that that Moleculin Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ:MBRX) (“Moleculin”), the company that sublicenses the compound Annamycin to WPD for 29 countries mainly in Europe, announced that a preclinical study in animals demonstrated a potentially significant therapeutic benefit of Annamycin against metastatic osteosarcoma. The Moleculin press release of February 2, 2020 states, “This appears to be the result of the high cytotoxic potential of Annamycin previously demonstrated in vitro against sarcoma cells in combination with its high uptake by the lungs where the tumors in this study are localized. Computerized tomography (CT) scans demonstrated that animals treated with Annamycin exhibited significant suppression of tumor growth and not a single death was observed in the treated animals, whereas significant tumor burden contributed to the rapid death of 90% of untreated animals. While the study continues, as of day 130, the survival rate for animals treated with Annamycin was 100%, compared with only 10% for untreated animals.
Osteosarcoma is among a class of tumors that initiate in the bone of patients, with bone-related sarcomas representing the second most common form of sarcoma after soft tissue sarcoma. While many bone sarcomas can be addressed through surgical removal, it is estimated that as many as 40% of bone sarcomas will eventually metastasize to the lungs, where treatment can become more problematic. Researchers have more recently referred to the lungs and certain other vital organs as "sanctuary sites" for cancer where tumors can develop out of reach from conventional chemotherapies.
Once metastasized to the lungs, if tumors cannot be surgically removed, the primary chemotherapy regimen is the anthracycline doxorubicin (also known as Adriamycin). While 10% to 30% of patients with sarcoma lung metastases may initially respond to doxorubicin, most will relapse leaving the majority of these patients without an alternative chemotherapy. Moleculin recently announced findings from its sponsored research showing that doxorubicin has a limited ability to accumulate in the lungs of animals, which may help explain its limited efficacy in this sanctuary site. Treatment options are further limited because of the inherent cardiotoxicity of currently approved anthracyclines, including doxorubicin, which limits the amount of anthracycline that can be given to patients.

@money$hot: Thanks but die you read this?
But you are right, it is too early to talk about it. It is a bet on the future, right?
Nascent should combine its drug with WP1122 from WPD Pharmaceuticals to stop this covid19 virus.
CNS + WPD Pharmaceuticals could really help us out of this fu**ing Covid19 life!
Covid19-drug-news: REVIVE could easily cooperate with WPD Pharma, who also develop a Covid19-drug called WP1122. Did you read this?
Just wondering: AVEO could easily buy WPD Pharma, who develop a Covid19-drug called WP1122. Did you read this?
Merck could easily buy WPD Pharma, who develop a Covid19-drug called WP1122. Did you read this?
Pfizer + WPD Pharma? Covid19-drug-news coming soon!? Pfizer + WPD Pharma could rule the world smile Is WP1122 really the only Covid19-drug in the world?

WPD Pharmaceuticals Receives Second Prepayment of $705,000 from Total $7.4 Million Grant for Development of WPD101
Vancouver, British Columbia – Sept 16, 2020 – WPD Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: WBIO)(FSE: 8SV1) (the “Company” or “WPD”) a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce that it has received a prepayment of approximately C$705,000 (2,000,000 PLN) and approval for reimbursement of approximately C$175,000 (500,000 PLN) from the Polish National Center for Research and Development (“NCRD”) granted by the European Union, under the Smart Growth Operational Program 2014-2020, for the further development of WPD101, the Company’s drug candidate targeting glioblastoma (“GBM”) which includes Phase I clinical studies.
The NCRD is an executive agency of the Minister of Science and Higher Education. It was established as a unit implementing tasks in the field of science, technology, and state innovation policy. The main aim of the Centre is to support the creation of innovative solutions and technologies that increase the competitiveness and innovation of the Polish economy. The approved prepayment for WPD’s continued advancements of the WPD101 drug candidate further validates its scientific development strategy and government support in doing so.
WPD is developing WPD101 which will allow GMB patients access to innovative molecular targeted therapies as an alternative to conventional treatment. The drug is currently in preclinical development and its consistent anticancer properties are demonstrated and validated in dogs with spontaneous GBM closely resembling GBM in human patients.
Overall, the results of these studies indicate the significant potential of WPD101 demonstrating the same effective treatment of GBM in humans. The Company expects Phase I clinical trials to begin in 2021.
Mariusz Olejniczak, CEO of WPD Pharmaceuticals commented, “We are very pleased to receive this second prepayment from the grant issued by the NCRD, which continues to validate our progress and development plans of WPD101. This funding provides important cashflow support and will be used for further development and upcoming Phase I clinical trials. Approval of these prepayments requires diligent work and I am proud of the project management team for their continued efforts.”

Shares of small-cap Moleculin Biotech Inc. soared 43% in premarket trade Tuesday, after the company said a second round of laboratory testing confirmed antiviral activity for WP1122, its candidate as a treatment for COVID-19. The lab involved was IIT Research Institute, an affiliate of the Illinois Institute of Technology, which conducted additional in vitro testing of the drug candidate. The testing involved a cell viability assay in the VERO E6 cell line infected with the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and compared the therapeutic effects of 2-DG (the active ingredient in WP1122) alone with those of WP1122, a 2-DG prodrug.The result is very preliminary; based on feedback from the FDA, Moleculin expects it will need to show activity in a COVID-19 animal model to successfully submit a request for Investigational New Drug ("IND") status for WP1122. The company is testing other compounds in its portfolio as treatments for COVID-19. Shares have gained 20% in the year to date,

NEWS!!
WPD Pharmaceuticals Licensor Granted Another Key Patent for the Development of WPD101 Drug Candidate
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 28, 2020 – WPD Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: WBIO)(FSE: 8SV1) (the “Company” or “WPD”), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce that on May 21, 2020 Wake Forest University received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for a patent titled “EphA3 and Multi-Valent Targeting of Tumors” (under application number 15/958,608). The patent is exclusively licensed to WPD, and the patent relates to the WPD101 drug candidate, used in the therapy of glioblastoma multiform (“GBM”).
Mariusz Olejniczak, CEO of WPD commented, “We are very excited to receive another patent included in the license agreement with Wake Forest University. This patent covers EPHA3 and multi-valent targeting of tumors and provides an additional layer of protection for our IP in the development of drug candidate WPD101. It is especially helpful for the development of our glioma product but also for other tumor fighting drugs we are developing.”
Cancer cells, including GBM tumor cells that are highly resistant to all known therapies, express tumor specific receptors, IL-13RA2 and EphA2. WPD Pharmaceuticals’ patented solution is based on the use of therapy targeting IL-13RA2 and EphA2 receptors by
genetically modified IL-13 and Ephrin1 proteins, conjugated to Pseudomonas and Diphtheria bacteria toxins. Recombinant IL-13 and Ephrin1 proteins armed with potent bacteria toxins preferentially bind to GBM tumor-specific receptors and deliver highly cytotoxic payload. This highly specific targeting of GBM cells should allow for selective elimination of tumor cells by bacteria-toxins-induced cytotoxic effects without affecting normal cells. In order to move to Phase 1 clinical trials in humans, WPD will need to finish the manufacturing for the development of the drug delivery formulation, expected to be completed within approximately one year.
Within the WP 101,102,103 portfolio of drug candidates, WPD and its licensors have 40 patents issued or filed in key territories including the US, Canada, and EU.
