CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) is on track to begin a potentially pivotal Phase 2 trial during the second quarter of 2021. This trial of CNSP’s lead drug candidate, Berubicin, in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) is currently planned to include up to 243 subjects, randomized 2:1 (162 Berubicin/81 Lomustine) with an interim analysis when 50% of the subjects reach six months in the study. “As the first anthracycline to cross the blood-brain barrier, Berubicin was specifically designed to attack a variety of primary brain cancers and cancers metastatic to the brain,” reads a recent article on the novel candidate. “Dr. Waldemar Priebe, professor of Medicinal Chemistry at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, is the original developer of Berubicin. The Phase 1 trial was completed by Reata Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RETA) and showed promising results, with 44% of the trial patients experiencing significant improvement in clinical benefit. One patient from this trial has survived cancer-free for the last 14 years, while two others saw a reduction in tumor size of up to 80%.”
