Business Wire
BIOASIS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (OTCQB:BIOAF; TSX.V:BTI), (the
“Company” or “Bioasis”), a pre-clinical, research-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing its proprietary xB3 TM
platform technology for the delivery of therapeutics across the
blood-brain barrier (“BBB”) and the treatment of central nervous
system (“CNS”) disorders in areas of high unmet medical need,
including brain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, today
announces that the China National Intellectual Property
Administration (CNIPA, formerly SIPO) issued a Notice to Undergo
Registration Procedures and a Notice to Grant Patent Rights for a
Chinese patent application for the Company’s platform
technology.
The patent application relates to Bioasis’ P97 conjugates with
therapeutic agents where P97 has the ability to transport the agent
across the BBB. These conjugates include xB3-001, Bioasis’ lead
product conjugate with trastuzumab in development for the treatment
of HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases. The allowed claims of this
patent application also cover pharmaceutical compositions
containing the conjugates.
“We are excited about the allowance of this patent application
by CNIPA, because this represents a major milestone for our
intellectual property protection around our core assets in the
largest market in Asia,” said Company Chair and Chief Executive
officer Deborah Rathjen, Ph.D.
“The treatment of HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases is an
area of significant unmet need which Bioasis’ platform technology
for blood-brain barrier drug delivery seeks to address. Whilst
trastuzumab is a very effective treatment for HER2+ breast cancer
and peripheral metastases, it is not able to enter the brain
without conjugation to Bioasis’ proprietary peptides. Our xB3-001
has the potential to be the next standard of care for treatment of
both peripheral and CNS HER2+ breast cancer metastases,” Dr Rathjen
added.
