$CNSP Partners with Leading Medical Imaging Group for Upcoming Berubicin Clinical Trials

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system, has announced that it will partner with Image Analysis Group (“IAG”) for planned Berubicin clinical trials. IAG, a leading medical imaging group, and CNS will work together to provide critical imaging services and imaging data analysis for the trials. IAG has an extensive background of partnering with oncology companies to deliver centralized readings and analysis of patient responses in real time. IAG’s expertise will allow CNS to review efficacy assessments and explore the advanced-treatment manifestations. Because GBM therapies often lead to pseudo-progression that is commonly mistaken as tumor growth, this partnership is key. The clinical trials will be utilizing IAG’s advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven methodologies to produce reliable early efficacy readouts. “Adding IAG was a key step in preparation for the recently developed clinical trials in Berubicin,” said CNS Pharmaceuticals CEO John Climaco in the press release. “IAG has an exemplary track record of partnering closely with companies in the biotech space to provide critical analysis of both efficacy and patient response, which we believe will be pivotal in advancing our Berubicin clinical trials. Furthermore, this was yet another key milestone achieved in our trial preparations as we continue to take all of the necessary steps to ensure a successful and timely launch of our Phase II trials. We look forward to leveraging IAG’s extensive expertise, as we plan to initiate our Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin in adults early next year.”

About CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system. Its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound and has acquired all data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase 1 clinical trial with Berubicin in malignant brain tumors, which Reata conducted in 2006. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. This 44% disease control rate was based on 11 patients (out of 25 evaluable patients) with stable disease, plus responders. One patient experienced a durable complete response and remains cancer-free as of February 20, 2020. These Phase 1 results represent a limited patient sample size and, while promising, are not a guarantee that similar results will be achieved in subsequent trials. By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the United States, while a sublicensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies to be 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
