GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHPH) (“Shuttle Pharma” or the “Company”), a discovery and development stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on improving outcomes for cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT), today provided a corporate update in connection with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Shuttle Pharma’s recent highlights include the following:
Successfully dosed first three patients in the Phase 2 clinical trial of Ropidoxuridine for the treatment of patients with brain tumors (glioblastoma). Ropidoxuridine is Shuttle Pharma's lead candidate radiation sensitizer for use in combination with RT to treat glioblastoma, a deadly malignancy of the brain with no known cure. Additional patients are currently undergoing screening for enrollment in the trial.
Finalized agreements with all six of the planned site enrollment locations which will be administering the Phase 2 clinical trial following the Company’s entry into agreements with Georgetown University Medical Center and UNC Medical Center. The Company previously entered agreements with the UVA Cancer Center, John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Cancer Institute, and Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida.
Paid off the entirety of the outstanding balance due under Shuttle Pharma’s Senior Secured Convertible Note issued on January 11, 2023. The initial balance of the Note was $4.3 million and was originally repayable over a 26-month period ending March 11, 2025.
Completed a $4.5 million public offering priced At-The-Market under Nasdaq rules. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund IND-enabling and Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of product candidates, including payments that will be made to the clinical research organization supporting the Phase 2 clinical trial for Ropidoxuridine, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Company also closed on a convertible note and warrant offering, receiving a total of $790,000 in gross proceeds, including $237,500 invested by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Anatoly Dritschilo.
Cash balance as of October 31, 2024 was $4.1 million.
“We made tremendous progress over the past few months to advance our Phase 2 clinical trial of Ropidoxuridine for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma, with the first three patients dosed in October 2024,” stated Shuttle Pharma’s Chairman and CEO, Anatoly Dritschilo, M.D. “The initial patient dosing followed the successful engagement of all six of the planned clinical trial site locations, each of which are nationally recognized cancer centers that are most likely to treat IDH wild-type, methylation negative glioblastoma patients – the target of the clinical trial. The initiation of the Phase 2 trial is a significant milestone for both Shuttle Pharma and the thousands of patients with brain tumors who currently lack effective therapies.”
“Beyond these critical clinical developments, we also made progress in improving our balance sheet and funding the Phase 2 clinical trial. I want to thank all of the investors who have committed to helping us advance our mission to leverage radiation sensitizers to increase cancer cure rates, prolong patient survival and improve quality of life for patients suffering from glioblastoma,” Dr. Dritschilo concluded.
