CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) recently announced that its global clinical trial for a potentially pivotal brain cancer treatment will expand patient eligibility following an amendment to its protocol for the study. “CNS has been enrolling patients in its phase II clinical trial for novel drug candidate Berubicin, which has shown promise in fighting the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma (‘GBM’),” explains a recent article. “The trial will compare Berubicin’s performance to the standard of care chemotherapy agent Lomustine, aiming to establish that Berubicin is at least as effective as Lomustine and potentially better because of Berubicin’s reported capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier to attack tumors directly. Crossing the blood-brain barrier gives Berubicin novel status because other anthracycline chemotherapy agents have thus far been unable to accomplish that feat, resulting in an average life expectancy of just over a year for GBM patients once they are diagnosed with the nearly always fatal illness. The ultimate goal of the clinical trial is to establish potential improvements in overall survivability for the patients using Berubicin.”
