Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

During a presentation on January 12, 2016, DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) disclosed that it will collaborate with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center on the development of the Company’s lead product candidate, VAL-083, for the treatment of brain cancer. As part of the collaboration, MD Anderson will initiate a new Phase II clinical study with VAL-083 in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer, prior to bevacizumab (Avastin™) exposure.  Patients eligible for the study will have recurrent GBM characterized by a high expression of MGMT, the DNA repair enzyme implicated in drug-resistance and poor patient outcomes following current front-line chemotherapy.  MGMT promoter methylation status will be used as a validated biomarker for enrollment and tumors must exhibit an unmethylated MGMT promoter for patients to be eligible for the trial.

The information provided in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent that such filing incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference thereto.
