biOasis Announces Positive Anti-Tumour Efficacy Data
biOasis Transcend-Herceptin® Conjugate (BT2111) Significantly Reduces the Number and Size of Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer Tumors in the Brain
biOasis Technologies Inc. announced today that its Transcend-Herceptin® Conjugate (BT2111) product candidate (a proprietary conjugate of Roche’s anti-cancer antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and Transcend, biOasis brain delivery vector) reduced the number of metastatic human HER2+ breast cancer tumors in the brains of test animals by 68% when compared to untreated control animals. The tumors that remained after treatment were 57% smaller than those in the untreated control animals. In contrast, Herceptin alone had no effect on reducing the number of tumors and was associated with only a slight (15%) reduction in tumor size when compared to untreated control animals. These results provide clear evidence of the potential of the biOasis Transcend-Herceptin® Conjugate (BT2111) for treating brain metastasis.
