Recent DelMar Pharma Clinical Highlights

The Company's lead asset, VAL-083, is currently undergoing clinical trials in the United States as a potential treatment for refractory glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer.  The primary endpoint of this stage of DelMar's current study is to determine a modernized dosing regimen for advancement to registration-directed clinical trials. DelMar recently completed the sixth cohort (30mg/m²) and have opened the seventh cohort (40mg/m²) in our GBM clinical trial. Our interim results show:

In summary, DelMar reported that:

• To date, one of two GBM patients in cohort 6 (30 mg/m²) exhibited stable disease after 1 cycle of treatment. Outcomes analysis of cohorts 6 and 7 are ongoing.
• No drug-related serious adverse events have been detected, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has not been reached at doses up to 30 mg/m². Enrollment and evaluation of Cohort 7 (40mg/m²) is ongoing.
• Pharmacokinetics are linear and consistent with previous published data suggesting that concentrations of VAL-083 being obtained are effective against glioma cell lines in vitro.

In earlier cohorts, DelMar reported that two patients exhibited a response (stable disease or partial response) with a maximum response of 28 cycles (84 weeks) and improved clinical signs prior to discontinuing due to adverse events unrelated to study.

DelMar has also presented data demonstrating that the cytotoxic activity of VAL-083 is independent of MGMT, the enzyme believed to cause resistance to the current front-line therapy in the treatment of GBM.
