Provectus Biopharmaceuticals Announces Agreement with POETIC (Pediatric Oncology Experimental Therapeutics Investigators Consortium) to Study Potential of PV-10 for Pediatric Cancer
Agreement will expedite comprehensive assessment for pediatric cancer indications
Thursday December 8, 2016
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB VCT, www.provectusbio.com), a clinical-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company ("Provectus" or "The Company" , and POETIC, The Pediatric Oncology Experimental Therapeutics Investigators Consortium, a group of 10 top-tier academic medical centers developing new pediatric cancer therapies, are pleased to announce a joint research agreement focused on pediatric applications of PV-10, an investigational ablative immunotherapy, as a potential treatment for childhood cancers.
Peter Culpepper, Interim CEO of Provectus, and Tanya Trippett, M.D., Co-Founder and Executive Director of POETIC, announced the signing of the agreement to establish a framework for collaborative pre-clinical research projects the Company may conduct with members of POETIC within the field of pediatric oncology.
The program will involve collaboration with a number of NCI Cancer Centers that are part of the POETIC group including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), Alberta Children's Hospital, and other top-tier cancer centers of excellence.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Provectus on this shared vision to advance promising new approaches for cancer that ultimately could lead to new treatments for pediatric patients, leveraging PV-10's novel characteristics and mechanism of action," said Dr. Trippett.
PV-10 is an injectable formulation of Rose Bengal that is under investigation as an ablative immunotherapy for solid tumor cancers. Provectus has received orphan drug designations of PV-10 from the FDA for melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma indications. The company is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of PV-10 for locally advanced cutaneous melanoma.
"Like many companies in our industry, our development efforts have historically focused on adult cancers," observed Dr. Eric Wachter, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer of Provectus. "While we remain firmly committed to that core program, this collaboration allows us to team up with top researchers in pediatric oncology to comprehensively assess whether PV-10 has additional potential for pediatric cancers. If this proves successful, we look forward to working with POETIC to move promising indications from the lab to the clinic as quickly as possible, building upon our experience with adult cancers to make this happen."
