$CNSP WPD Pharmaceuticals to Soon Recruit Patients for Combined Berubicin Clinical Studies

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, sublicenses the compound Berubicin to WPD Pharmaceuticals for 30 countries mainly in Europe and Asia. WPD, a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company, today provided an update on its Berubicin drug candidate clinical development program for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”). According to the update, WPD plans to commence its Phase Ib/II Study of Berubicin in the treatment of glioblastoma in the second half of 2021. In addition, CNS Pharmaceuticals has announced open enrollment in the United States for its clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Berubicin in the treatment of recurrent GBM. “I am very pleased and excited about the development we have made on Berubicin both in the United States and in Europe. Our combined WPD and CNS clinical studies are going to start to recruit patients shortly, which is an exciting step in the development programs,” said Mariusz Olejniczak, CEO of WPD. “To ensure patients are informed and updated on possible sites, we will use clinicaltrials.gov as the primary source of information. We are hopeful that this is the first step in changing the landscape of glioma treatment with products in our pipeline and trough collaboration with different companies, scientific institutions and our license partners. I would like to take an opportunity to thank both the WPD and CNS teams and our vendors and partners including WWCT and IAG for the hard work during pandemic months.”

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 the overall response rate of stable disease or better was 44%. 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 Feb. 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. During 2021, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland. Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
