OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB:OBMP) (“OncBioMune” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of a proprietary therapeutic cancer vaccine immunotherapy and targeted cancer therapy, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a consulting agreement with CATO Research, LLC, a global provider of regulatory and clinical research services, effective immediately.

This agreement relates to the formation of the clinical development plan of OncBioMune’s patented targeted chemotherapy combining paclitaxel, gallium, and transferrin, otherwise known as “PGT.”

PGT is designed to deliver the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel to cancer cells over-expressing the transferrin receptor (aka CD71). Paclitaxel is currently FDA-approved in two forms: as solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-paclitaxel, Taxol®) and protein-based paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel, ABRAXANE ®).

PGT binds paclitaxel to the human protein transferrin as opposed to albumin, which is employed in nab-paclitaxel. This creates the potential to target the paclitaxel to CD71, which has been shown to be over-expressed on many different cancer types. Additionally, PGT takes advantage of the fact that the transferrin protein has binding sites for iron that can bind a different metal ion, gallium, which has anti-cancer activity. In theory, this creates a novel protein drug complex which has the capacity to deliver two, non-cross resistant cancer therapeutics in a targeted fashion.

“We are thrilled to be able to partner with a high-quality provider such as CATO Research as we work together toward the goal of getting PGT accessible to patients with refractory cancers,” commented Dr. Brian Barnett, Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune.  “We believe, given their experience in drug development, that CATO Research will be instrumental in helping us accomplish the goal of providing new safe and effective alternatives to this patient population with a high unmet medical need.”
