24/7 Market News- Bio-Path Begins Development of Therapeutic Obesity Treatment Program
DENVER, Colo., Oct 08, 2024 (247marketnews.com)- Bio-Path Holdings (NASDAQ: BPTH) reported initiating a therapeutic program to develop BP1001-A for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases, marking the first application of DNAbilize technology for development of a non-cancer application, which highlights the broad therapeutic potential of this technology.
The Company further stated that it completed enrollment in the third dosing cohort of its ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial evaluating BP1002 for the treatment of refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, including venetoclax-resistant patients, ahead of schedule.
Peter H. Nielsen, Bio-Path’s President and CEO, commented, “Initiating a DNAbilize development program for the treatment of obesity is an exciting expansion opportunity with the potential to treat a growing epidemic. Developing BP1001-A for the treatment of obesity should have a high probability of success as its mechanism of action has the potential to treat insulin resistance, which is the underpinning of obesity, Type 2 diabetes and other related diseases.
“We expect to initiate Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling testing of BP1001-A in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“In addition, we are pleased to report enrollment for the third dosing cohort of the Phase 1/1b clinical trial of BP1002 in refractory/relapsed AML patients has completed faster than projected. AML patients who had relapsed from frontline venetoclax-based treatment and are refractory to salvage therapy face dire survival prospects and we believe that BP1002 therapy can help these patients.”
