CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical innovator, is enrolling patients in the United States and Europe for its potentially pivotal global clinical trial in humans for its lead drug candidate designed to treat glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), a common and one of the most aggressive primary brain cancers. “The drug, Berubicin, is an anthracycline chemotherapy agent that apparently has the unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier to target tumors directly. The inability of anthracyclines to cross the blood-brain barrier has been identified as a major obstacle in treating aggressive brain tumors such as GBM and creates an opportunity for CNS Pharmaceuticals,” a recent article reads. “Anthracyclines are designed to damage the DNA in cancer cells,” CEO John Climaco is quoted as saying. “Anthracyclines as a class of chemotherapy have been used for over 60 years to treat a variety of cancers, including breast, ovarian, lung, lymphoma and leukemia, and other malignancies as well. However, historically, anthracyclines have never been used to treat primary or metastatic brain cancers because scientists could not demonstrate that anthracyclines were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and achieve significant levels of activity in the brain. Berubicin may change that history.”
