CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a preclinical stage biotechnology company, is looking to fill a gap in the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive form of cancer that occurs in the brain or spinal cord, with its lead product candidate Berubicin. “GBM is considered one of the most complex, deadly and treatment-resistant cancers. And although it is regarded as rare, between 12,000 and 15,000 Americans are diagnosed with the condition every year. Even more devastatingly, the National Brain Tumor Society (‘NBTS’) estimates that over 10,000 individuals with GBM succumb to the disease annually. GBM has a five-year survival rate of only 6.8%, and the average length of survival for patients is estimated to be eight months,” explains a recent article. “Against the backdrop of statistics that show the aggressiveness of GBM, CNS is leading the charge to find a potential treatment option for the disease. ‘In the results of the first Berubicin clinical trial, 44% of the patients showed a clinical response, with one Durable Complete Response (a demonstrated lack of detectable cancer cells,’ CNS’s website reads. ‘Berubicin has shown evidence of improved survival in a patient population that currently has a dismal median survival rate of only 14.6 months from its diagnosis.’ Currently, the company is focusing on an ongoing, potentially pivotal global study that commenced in March last year.”
