BATON ROUGE, LA-(January 10, 2017) - OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: OBMP) (“OncBioMune” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of novel cancer products and a proprietary vaccine technology, is pleased to inform shareholders of a productive meeting with Glenn J. Bubley, M.D. and scientists from the host hospital regarding the Company’s upcoming Phase 2 trial of ProscaVax for prostate cancer. Dr. Bubley has agreed to serve as the trial’s Principal Investigator.
In December, Dr. Bubley and OncBioMune agreed upon the protocol for the mid-stage study, which will evaluate ProscaVax, OncBioMune’s novel therapeutic cancer vaccine, in patients at disease presentation that have not undergone any other therapy. Per the planned protocol, prostate cancer patients will receive ProscaVax during active surveillance and results will be compared to prostate cancer patients not receiving ProscaVax during active surveillance.
Dr. Bubley has advised OncBioMune that the study is a prime candidate for submission to the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) at the National Cancer Institute. CTEP coordinates the clinical therapeutics development program of the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) by reviewing clinical trials and evaluating their merits for collaboration and funding. OncBioMune is in the process of preparing documentation for submission and consideration by CTEP.
“We are very encouraged by Dr. Bubley’s suggestion that we take the concept and trial of ProscaVax to CTEP, as it certainly speaks to his confidence in ProscaVax and the valuable potential of the vaccine to meet a large area of unmet medical need in early-stage prostate cancer. Given that there are no drugs approved for prostate cancer at disease presentation, ProscaVax could be of great interest to CTEP,” commented Dr. Jonathan Head, Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune. “CTEP is a peer-review program that requires a small amount of time and resources on our behalf to potentially help fund and accelerate patient enrolment in our clinical trial. This could be not only a tremendous monetary benefit to our company, but also very advantageous moving forward to have the continued support of government agencies to develop the world’s first prostate cancer treatment that is efficacious and free of side effects compared to current therapies.”
