WHAT IS NEUROPATHIC PAIN?
Neuropathic pain describes a group of symptoms caused by damage to nerves. Central neuropathic pain may occur when nerves within the brain or spinal cord are damaged, for example spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis and strokes.
However, peripheral neuropathic pain is much more common and results from damage to nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. These peripheral nerves carry sensations (feeling) to the brain and control the movement of our arms and legs. They also control the bladder and bowel.
HOW IS NEUROPATHIC PAIN TREATED?
Neuropathic pain can be very difficult to treat with only 40-60% of patients achieving partial relief.
Treatments currently used to treat neuropathic pain include local anesthetic patches (lidocaine), anti-depressant medicines (e.g., duloxetine and amitryptiline), anti-convulsants (e.g., pregabalin, gabapentin and carbamazepine) or opioids for severe, chronic pain.
WHAT IS THE RATIONALE FOR USING AMIKET IN NEUROPATHIC PAIN?
AmiKet contains a combination of amitriptyline and ketamine in a topical formulation.
The combination of amitriptyline and ketamine in a cream have been shown to synergistically act to relieve neuropathic pain at the local level.
Cancer Therapeutics
CrolibulinTM
CrolibulinTM is a novel small molecule vascular disrupting agent, or VDA, and apoptosis inducer for the intended treatment of patients with solid tumors. Crolibulin is being studied by the National Cancer Institute in a Phase II study for the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancer (“ATC”). Crolibulin TM has shown promising vascular targeting activity with potent anti-tumor activity in pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies and in a Phase I clinical trial. To date over 100 patients have received Crolibulin TM,
The molecule has been shown to induce tumor cell apoptosis and selectively inhibit growth of proliferating cell lines, including multi-drug resistant cell lines. Murine models of human tumor xenografts demonstrated Crolibulin TM inhibits growth of established tumors of a number of different cancer types. In preclinical animal tumor models, combination therapy has demonstrated synergistic activity with cytotoxic drugs as well as anti-angiogenic drugs, such as Avastin. This may support further development of Crolibulin TM in a variety of cancers other than ATC, including but not limited to refractory ovarian cancer and neuro-endocrine tumors.
Azixa® (verobulin)
Azixa® (verobulin) is a Vascular Disruptive Agent in development for the treatment of primary brain cancers and metastatic tumors with brain involvement. Azixa® is a novel small molecule drug candidate that acts as a microtubule destabilizing agent, causing arrest of cell division and programmed cell death, or apoptosis, in cancer cells. Several currently marketed clinically effective drugs share the identical mechanism of action. Importantly, however, Azixa® has two distinguishing characteristics. In non-clinical studies, Azixa® has demonstrated the unique ability to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and reach concentrations in the brain which are as much as 30 times that measured in the plasma. In addition, Azixa® does not appear to be subject to multiple drug resistance (MDR) mechanisms.
Two Phase 2a clinical studies demonstrated that:
Azixa®, in combination with standard chemotherapy, resulted in durable responses with no additive toxicity in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or metastatic melanoma.
Azixa® in monotherapy resulted in durable responses in GBM patients who had failed both first and second line therapy.
Azixa® has received orphan drug status in the U.S. for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
