Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC Provides Update on Progression Free and Overall Survival in Phase 1 Study of MTX110 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced an update in respect of its open label Phase 1 study of MTX110 in recurrent glioblastoma. In October 2023, the Company announced completed recruitment of four patients into cohort A of its Phase 1 study of MTX110 (also known as MAGIC-G1 study)(NCT 05324501) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM). MAGIC-G1 is an open-label, dose escalation study designed to assess the feasibility and safety of intermittent infusions of MTX110 administered by convection enhanced delivery (CED) via implanted refillable pump and catheter. Patients received MTX110 via intermittent repeated CED infusions. As of today, the status of patients in Cohort A is as follows: Patients #1 and #2 have deceased with overall survival (OS) since start of treatment of 12 months and 13 months, respectively. Patients #3 and #4 remain in post-study follow-up. Patient #3 had progression free survival (PFS) of six months and OS thus far of 13 months since start of treatment. Patient #4 has not yet had confirmed progression and, as of today, has PFS and OS of 12 months since start of treatment. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive central nervous system (CNS) primary malignancy in adults with an annual incidence is approximately 3 per 100,000 population. The standard of care in newly diagnosed GBM includes maximal safe surgical resection, followed by concurrent radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ). GBM virtually always recurs with median PFS of 1.5–6.0 months and median OS of 2.0–9.0 months. These interim data in rGBM build on the data announced by the Company on July 2, 2024, and presented at the recent 21st International Symposium on Paediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO 2024) of a Phase 1 study of MTX110 in nine patients with Diffuse Midline Glioma (“DMG”) which showed, after only two infusions and a single patient at optimum dose, median OS of 16.5 months. In an earlier Phase 1 study conducted by the University of California San Francisco of MTX110 in seven patients with DMG which showed median OS of 26.1 months. These data compare favorably with median OS in a cohort of 316 cases of 10.0 months (source: Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). Annonce • Sep 16
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals plc Announces to Made the Final Match Payment with Respect to A $17 Million Grant from the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced it made the final match payment of $3.0 million with respect to a $17 million grant from the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disease that causes the growth of hundreds or thousands of precancerous polyps throughout the GI tract, putting those afflicted at great risk of developing colon cancer. There is no approved therapeutic option for treating the approximately 100,000 FAP patients in the U.S. and Europe. The current standard of care is active surveillance and surgical resection of the colon and/or rectum. Results of a 12 month Phase 2 clinical trial of eRapa in FAP demonstrated a 17% median decrease in overall polyp burden and an overall non-progression rate of 75%. A Phase 3 registrational trial is expected to begin enrollment early next year. Annonce • Aug 31

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals Plc Announces Additional Positive Results of Phase 2 Trial of eRapa in Treatment of Precancerous Polyps in the GI Tract - Now 12-Month Data Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC is making good progress with eRapa™, its drug to treat Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). FAP is a mostly inherited condition that puts people at a much greater risk of developing colorectal cancer. Positive 12-month data from a phase 2 clinical trial were recently presented at the 2024 InSIGHT biannual meeting in Barcelona. With FAP, hundreds or thousands of precancerous polyps grow throughout the gastrointestinal tract. There is no approved therapeutic option for treating FAP patients - for whom active surveillance and surgical resection of the colon and/or rectum remain the standard of care. People with FAP, which usually appears in the patient's mid-teens, end up eventually having their entire colon and/or rectum resected and having to carry a colostomy bag for the remainder of their lives. If left untreated, there is a 100% chance the person will develop colorectal cancer. A Better Way Of Treating FAP: While multiple screenings and surgeries are a way of life for the more than 100,000 people worldwide who suffer from this condition, it doesn't have to remain that way. Biodexa believes eRapa could be the first therapeutic option to treat this precancerous condition, and its data so far backs up that assessment. Results of a 12-month phase 2 clinical trial of eRapa demonstrated an overall 17% median decrease in overall polyp burden and an overall non-progression rate of 75%. Even more compelling, of patients in Cohort 2 (treated daily, alternate weeks), 89% of patients were deemed non-progressors at 12 months, with a median reduction in polyp burden of 29%. That could be gaming-changing for FAP patients if it means fewer surgeries with much improved quality of life. The 12-month data demonstrate a longevity of effect of eRapa. eRapa is a proprietary oral tablet formulation of rapamycin, also known as sirolimus, which slows down the mTOR (mammalian Target Of Rapamycin) protein. Too much mTOR has been linked to cancer. Stopping It In Its Tracks: The phase 2 open-label study of 30 adults with FAP was conducted in seven U.S. centers of excellence. The median age of the trial participants was 43 years, with either an intact colon or one with a portion removed and at least ten noncancerous tumors in the rectal remnant. Patients were enrolled in three dosing cohorts, including every other day, daily every other week and daily. Although the primary endpoints were safety and tolerability of eRapa and percentage change from baseline in polyp burden at six months, patients continued to receive treatment and monitoring for 12 months, leading to the new data. Biodexa said the dosing given to cohort 2 - daily every other week - will likely be the preferred dosage regime for its phase 3 trial, which the company is gearing up to launch soon. That study is planned to be a double-blind placebo-controlled design recruiting approximately 140 high-risk patients diagnosed with germline or phenotypic FAP. Biodexa's phase 2 results were presented at InSIGHT by Carol Burke, M.D., a specialist gastroenterologist at the Cleveland Clinic and a leading authority in FAP. Burke is the Principal Investigator for both the phase 2 study and the upcoming phase 3 study. The phase 2 trial was partially supported by $3 million in grant funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). CPRIT is providing a $17 million grant for the phase 3 trial. FAP may be rare, but for the tens of thousands of people suffering from this precancerous condition, there's got to be a better treatment. Biodexa believes it has that with eRapa. The phase 2 trial results seem to lean that way, and with a phase 3 study about to kick off, there may be hope on the horizon for FAP patients. Annonce • Jul 02
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC Announces Positive Phase 1 Clinical Data of MTX110 in DMG Brain Cancer Demonstrating Increased Survival Presented at ISPNO 2024 Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced data from a Phase 1 study of MTX110 in Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) f/k/a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG, an orphan pediatric brain cancer were presented over the weekend at the 21st International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO 2024) in Philadelphia, PA. Results of the Phase 1 study: Overall, the treatment was well tolerated by patients. There was one Grade 4 adverse event assessed by the investigators as unrelated to the drug but related to the infusion and tumor anatomy. Most other adverse events were related to infusion and were deemed Grade 2 to 3. Although the study was not powered to reliably demonstrate efficacy, median progression free survival (PFS) was 10 months (range 8 to 20 months) and overall survival (OS) of patients in the study was 16.5 months (range 12 to 35 months). This compares favorably with median OS in a cohort of 316 cases of 10.0 months (Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). Design of the Phase 1 study: The open label investigator-initiated study was conducted by Columbia University Irving Medical Center in patients newly diagnosed with DMG. Patients were administered MTX110 via convection enhanced delivery (“CED”) using a subcutaneous pump connected to a catheter directly implanted into the pons in a 3+3 dose-escalating design (NCT 04264143). As this was the first ever study of repeated infusions to the pons via an implanted CED catheter, the primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose with secondary endpoints of Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival. The number of infusions was limited to two, each of 48 hours, seven days apart. Nine patients were treated in the study (30 M group, n=3; 60 M group, n=4; 90 M group (optimal dose), n=2). Although the study was not powered to reliably demonstrate efficacy, median overall survival (OS) of patients in the study was 16.5 months. This compares favorably with median survival rate in a cohort of 316 cases of 10.0 months (Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). MTX110 in DMG: In October 2020, the Company announced headline results from a Phase I study at the University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”) in patients with DMG (the “UCSF study” NCT03566199). The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the dosage regimen to be used in a proposed Phase II study of the safety and efficacy of MTX110 in patients with DIPG. Preliminary high-level data from the UCSF study supports a dose of between 60µM and 90µM of MTX110, depending upon patient tolerance over the course of 12 infusions in Phase II. In total, seven patients were recruited into the UCSF study. Patients were newly diagnosed with DMG and received focal external beam radiation therapy four to 14 weeks before commencement of MTX110 treatment. MTX110 was administered directly into the tumour via a micro-catheter using CED with gadolinium-enhanced intra-operative MRI to guide and track drug distribution to the tumour. Patients could receive up to 12 cycles of treatment every four to eight weeks. The dose was escalated between and within patients as tolerated initially by increasing the infusion volume at a concentration of 30µM MTX110 and then with higher drug concentrations of 60µM and 90µM as the sixth and seventh dose increments, respectively. Median overall survival based on Kaplan Meier analysis was 26.06 months. Survival was not an endpoint of the UCSF study nor was the study powered for statistical significance. Annonce • Jun 24
Biodexa Announces Positive Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results of eRapa™ At 12 Months in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (Fap) Biodexa Pharmaceuticals Plc announced that 12 month results of a Phase 2 clinical trial of eRapa™ in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (NCT04230499) were reported in an oral presentation at the prestigious 2024 InSIGHT bi-annual meeting in Barcelona by Carol Burke, M.D., a specialist gastroenterologist at the Cleveland Clinic and a leading authority in FAP, a mostly genetic disease of precancerous polyps for which the only current remedy is surgical removal of the colon and/or rectum. The Phase 2 study was partially supported by $3 million in grant funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) under product development awards DP22053 and DP190069. The Phase 3 study of eRapa in FAP is supported by a $17 million grant from CPRIT. Dr. Burke is the Principal Investigator for the both the Phase 2 study and the upcoming Phase 3 registrational study. The open-label study was conducted in seven U.S. centers of excellence in 30 adult patients with median age of 43 years with intact colon (n=6) or post-colectomy and ileo-rectal anastomosis and at least 10 adenomas in the rectal remanent (n=24). Patients were sequentially enrolled into three dosing cohorts of 10 patients each for a 12-month treatment period: 0.5mg every other day (Cohort 1), 0.5mg daily every other week (Cohort 2), and 0.5mg daily (Cohort 3). Upper and lower endoscopic surveillance occurred at baseline and after six months. Although the primary endpoints were safety and tolerability of eRapa and percentage change from baseline in polyp burden at six months, as measured by the aggregate of all polyp diameters, patients continued to receive treatment and monitoring for 12 months (secondary endpoint). Results of the Phase 2 study at 12 months Overall, 21 of 28 (75%) patients were deemed to be non-progressors at 12 months with a median reduction in polyp burden of 17%. In Cohort 2, eight of nine (89)% of patients were deemed non-progressors at 12 months with a median reduction in polyp burden of 9%. Over the course of 12 months, there were four related Grade 3 or higher and one related Serious Adverse Event reported during the trial and 95% compliance rate at 12 months. One patient was removed from the trial due to non-compliance. The Phase 3 registrational study is planned to be a double-blind placebo-controlled design recruiting approximately 140 high risk patients diagnosed with germline or phenotypic FAP. The primary clinical endpoint is likely to be the first progression free survival event which will include major surgery (or referral thereto), polypectomy for advanced neoplasia, advancement of Spigelman stage, diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia or cancer and death from any cause. A $17 million grant from CPRIT will support this study. eRapa is a proprietary oral tablet formulation of rapamycin, also known as sirolimus. Rapamycin is an mTOR (mammalian Target Of Rapamycin) inhibitor. mTOR has been shown to have a significant role in the signalling pathway that regulates cellular metabolism, growth and proliferation and is activated during tumorgenesis1. Rapamycin is approved in the US for organ rejection in renal transplantation as Rapamune®(Pfizer). Through the use of nanotechnology and pH sensitive polymers, eRapa is designed to address the poor bioavailability, variable pharmacokinetics and toxicity generally associated with the currently available forms of rapamycin. eRapa is protected by a number of issued patents which extend through 2035, with other pending applications potentially providing further protection beyond 2035.

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals plc Announces Promising Phase 2 Results for Its Newly In-Liced Drug Erapa for Treating Fam Fam Famic Adenomatous Polyposis Biodexa Pharmaceuticals just announced promising phase 2 results for its newly in-licensed drug eRapa for treating familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a mainly genetic disease of the lower GI tract for which there is currently no remedy except surgical removal of the colon and/or rectum. In a clinical trial involving 30 adult patients, three groups received the same dose of the drug but with different regimens over a period of 12 months. Safety, tolerability and changes from baseline in polyp burden (measured by the sum of polyp diameters) were evaluated using endoscopic exams. After the first six months, eRapa appeared to be safe and well-tolerated with a statistically significant 24% reduction (p=0.04) in the total polyp burden compared with baseline, as well as an overall 83% non-progression rate. In other words, the drug has been proven to have a high success rate at stopping the growth of polyps before they get a chance to turn into cancer. Biodexa claims that no drug before has shown such promise in stalling the progression of this disease. The company plans to announce the 12-month results of the phase 2 trial at the InSIGHT scientific conference in Barcelona on June 19-22. FAP is an inherited disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. If left untreated, it causes hundreds to thousands of polyps to grow inside the colon or rectum. The condition is typically diagnosed in the early teenage years and results in a nearly 100% lifetime risk of colorectal cancer. Treatment options are very limited, with the only current remedy for FAP being surgical removal of the colon and/or rectum, a surgery that always results in the lifelong use of a colostomy bag. With roughly 100,000 individuals in the United States and Europe affected by FAP, there is a considerable need for an effective non-surgical intervention. In April, Biodexa acquired worldwide exclusive rights to eRapa, a drug that the company hopes will delay or prevent the need for surgery. eRapa is a proprietary oral tablet formulation of rapamycin, which is known to play a role in regulating cellular metabolism, growth and proliferation - all crucial factors in cancer development. Using nanotechnology and pH-sensitive polymers, Biodexa has designed eRapa to address the poor bioavailability, variable pharmacokinetics and toxicity generally associated with the currently available forms of rapamycin. The medication can also potentially be used to treat bladder and prostate cancers. Results of an ongoing phase 2 study into bladder cancer are expected to be announced in the second quarter of 2025. Crucially, the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) has awarded a $17 million grant to support the phase 3 registrational study of eRapa in FAP. The grant requires a 1 for 2 match and Biodexa recently announced that it secured $7 million, most of the required $8.5 million match, in financing through the exercise of existing warrants, which the company intends to use to advance eRapa through the final clinical stage. A phase 3 trial is expected to start in the first quarter of 2025 which, if successful, is expected to lead to applications for marketing approvals in the U.S. and Europe. eRapa has the potential to catapult Biodexa from a clinical-stage biotech to a commercial organization, supported by non-dilutive grant funding for a devastating disease that currently has no FDA-approved drugs. All eyes are now on the upcoming 12-month results of the phase 2 trial to be announced later this month, and the subsequent phase 3 trial next year. Annonce • May 23
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC Announces Positive Statistically Significant Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results of eRapa™ in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) Scheduled for Presentation at the 2024 Digestive Disease Week Annual Meeting Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced that results of a Phase 2 clinical trial of eRapa in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (‘FAP’) (NCT04230499) are scheduled for presentation at the prestigious 2024 Digestive Disease Week annual meeting in Washington D.C. Carol Burke, MD, the Principal Investigator, will present the six month data in a podium presentation at the meeting. The study was partially supported by $20 million in grant funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas under product development awards DP22053 and DP190069. Design of the Phase 2 study: The open-label study was conducted in seven U.S. centers of excellence in 30 adult patients with median age of 43 years with intact colon (n=6) or post-colectomy and ileo-rectal anastomosis and at least 10 adenomas in the rectal remanent (n=24). Patients were sequentially enrolled into three dosing cohorts of 10 patients each for a 12-month treatment period: 0.5mg every other day (Cohort 1), 0.5mg daily every other week (Cohort 2), and 0.5mg daily (Cohort 3). Upper and lower endoscopic surveillance occurred at baseline and after six months. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability of eRapa and percentage change from baseline in polyp burden at six months, as measured by the aggregate of all polyp diameters. Polyp outcomes were classified into Progressive Disease (PD: >20% increase in polyp burden), Stable Disease (SD: ± 20% change in polyp burden) or Partial Response (PR: >20% reduction in polyp burden). A combination endpoint of non-progressors included SD and PR. Results of the Phase 2 study at six months: In the duodenum, 14/18 (78%) patients were non-progressors with 11/18 (61%) of these patients with PR. In the colorectum, 25/29 (86%) patients were non progressors including all with an intact colon; of these 15/29 (67%) patients demonstrated PR including 4 with an intact colon. Only two drug-related Grade 3 Serious Adverse Events occurred during the trial (with no Grade 4 or 5 reported), and 97% of patients remained on treatment at six months. Annonce • May 18

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals Plc's MTX110 Shows Promise In Extending Life Expectancy Against Aggressive Brain Cancers Biodexa Pharmaceuticals is developing MTX110 for the treatment of Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) in pediatric patients and for Recurrent Glioblastoma (rGBM) in adults; two aggressive brain cancers with universally poor prognoses. The company says early trials of MTX110 in both cancers show promise in extending survival rates beyond those reported in previously published studies. DMG tumors are highly aggressive grade IV tumors that exhibit a propensity to infiltrate the surrounding tissues. Commonly found throughout the brainstem, these tumors pose significant challenges in treatment. The median overall survival rate for individuals - typically children diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma is less than one year - generally ranges from eight to 11 months. A small percentage, approximately 10%, manage to survive for at least two years following diagnosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent malignant primary tumor of the central nervous system in adult patients and is known for its aggressive nature and tendency to invade surrounding tissues. Although GBM is rare, it carries a high fatality rate, with an incidence of 3.44 per 100,000 individuals and a median overall survival of only eight months, regardless of treatment. The five-year survival rate stands at a mere 7.2%. Recurrence poses a significant challenge for adult patients with GBM, and the prognosis remains bleak. Tumor recurrence, typically occurring within seven months from the initial diagnosis, is the primary cause of mortality. Both cancers have a high mortality rate and a high unmet need. Biodexa is hoping to meet these needs as it further develops MTX110. The main chemotherapy agent of MTX110, panobinostat, was originally used to treat multiple myeloma and received FDA approval in 2015. The company is currently reworking the chemotherapy agent by changing its delivery method and leveraging Convection Enhanced Delivery (CED) technology. Researchers discovered that the original formulation of panobinostat was capable of blocking enzymes involved in cancer cell growth, exhibiting high potency against brain stem tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. However, the original oral tablet form is both insoluble and incapable of crossing the blood-brain barrier at therapeutic levels - making it an ineffective treatment method for brain cancers. The distinctive feature of MTX110 is that it combines a water-soluble form of panobinostat with a CED device that delivers the drug directly to the brain tumor through a surgically implanted catheter and refillable pump. Biodexa says the drug achieves high drug concentrations within the tumor while limiting systemic exposure. The proof-of-concept phase 1 clinical trial of MTX110 took place at the University of California San Francisco with patients battling DMG. The trial produced promising results with a median overall survival of 26 months, compared to a historical overall survival rate of 10 months. Similarly, a phase 1 trial involving newly diagnosed DMG patients at Columbia University Irving Medical Center also had encouraging outcomes, with MTX110 treatment increasing median overall survival to 16 months from a historical overall survival rate of 10 months. The findings from this study will be presented at the 21st International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (June 28 - July 2, 2024), and the company may potentially continue developing the drug in this indication in a phase 2 study. Biodexa reports that the ongoing MAGIC-G1 phase 1 trial in recurrent GBM patients at Duke Cancer Institute and Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center is currently showing considerable progress with completion of recruitment for cohort A of the study. The first patient survived for 12 months, and three patients currently remain in the study. The expected topline results for progression-free survival from cohort A will be available in Second Quarter of 2024. The retrospective analysis of 299 patients with similar recurrent GBM disease showed a median overall survival of only 6.5 months after the recurrence of GBM cancer. Biodexa is hopeful MTX110 could potentially help extend patient life, offering much-needed hope to patients and their families. The company's delivery method may also help prevent full-body exposure, which could minimize negative side effects. For cancers with such high mortality rates, any amount of extra time with a better quality of life is groundbreaking. Annonce • Feb 24
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals plc Announces Positive Top Line Phase I Clinical Trial Results for Diffuse Midline Glioma and Provides R&D Update Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced an R&D update including positive top-line clinical trial results of a recently completed Phase 1 study of MTX110 in patients with diffuse midline glioma, or DMG, and results of a preclinical experiment designed to demonstrate tolimidone's potential for beta cell proliferation in an in vitro model. MTX110: In an investigator initiated study conducted by Columbia University Irving Medical Center, patients newly diagnosed with DMG were administered MTX110 via convection enhanced delivery ("CED") using a subcutaneous pump connected to a catheter directly implanted into the pons in a 3+3 dose-escalating design (NCT 04264143). As this was the first ever study of repeated infusions to the pons via an implanted CED catheter, the primary objective of the study was safety and tolerability and, accordingly, the number of infusions was limited to two, each of 48 hours, 7 days apart. Nine patients were treated in the study (30 M group, n=3; 60 M group, n=4; 90 M group (optimal dose), n=2). One patient in the 60 M group suffered a severe adverse event assessed by the investigators as not related to the study drug but related to the infusion and tumor anatomy. Although the study was not powered to reliably demonstrate efficacy, median overall survival (OS) of patients in the study was 16.5 months. This compares favourably with median survival rate in a cohort of 316 cases of 10.0 months (Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). Study investigators are planning to present detailed results of the trial at the 21st International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO 2024) being held on June 28-July 2, 2024 in Philadelphia, PA. On the Company's behalf, a CRO conducted an in vitro experiment designed to demonstrate tolimin's potential for beta cell proliferation using reaggregated pancreatic islets. The results of the experiment were inclusive in that they did not correlate with the results previously seen in vitro and in vivo studies of tolimidone. The Company believes there are a few possible explanations to the outcome of this in vitro study and accordingly, plans to move ahead rapidly with an in vivo preclinical study with similar objectives while continuing preparations for its planned Phase IIa open-label study of tolimidone in patients with Type 1 diabetes due to start recruitment later this year.

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals plc Reports 12 Month Survival in Magic-G1 Study of Mtx110 in Recurrent Glioblastoma Patients Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC provided survival updates from its MAGIC-G1 study (NCT05324501) of MTX110 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (“rGBM”) being conducted at Duke Cancer Institute and Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center. In October 2023, Biodexa announced completion of recruitment of Cohort A of an ongoing open-label Phase I dose-escalation study designed to assess the feasibility and safety of intermittent infusions of MTX110 administered by convection enhanced delivery via implanted refillable pump and catheter. Because no drug-related adverse events were observed within the first 30 days from start of treatment, the minimum number of four patients were recruited into Cohort A. Patient #1 received weekly infusions of 60µM of MTX110 and survived for 12 months from the start of treatment (OS=12). Patients #2, 3 and 4 each received weekly infusions of 90µM of MTX110, the expected optimum dose, and remain in the study. GBM universally recurs and once it does median overall survival according to a retrospective analysis of 299 patients reported in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology is 6.5 months1. Currently, no standard of care is established for rGBM. Annonce • Dec 29

Biodexa Pharmaceuticals plc Completes Recruitment of Cohort A in Study of Mtx110 in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced that it has completed recruitment into cohort A of its ongoing Phase 1 study of MTX110 (also known as MAGIC-G1 study)(NCT 05324501) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM). MAGIC-G1 is an open-label, dose escalation study designed to assess the feasibility and safety of intermittent infusions of MTX110 administered by convection enhanced delivery (CED) via implanted refillable pump and catheter. The study aims to recruit two cohorts (A and B), with a minimum of four patients in each; while patients in both cohorts receive MTX110 via intermittent repeated CED infusions, patients in the B cohort will be allowed CED catheter repositioning upon first in-study clinical and/or radiographic confirmed progression. Following review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), the dose was escalated to 90µM after the first patient in cochort A and, because there have been no dose-limiting toxicities, recruitment into this cohort has concluded with the minimum of four patients. Patient 1 received 13 treatment cycles over 19 weeks of study treatment period, whereas patient 2 received 10 cycles over 13 weeks of study treatment period; patient 3 has, to date, received five cycles of treatment. The fourth patient underwent surgery on October 2, 2023 and will receive their first cycle of treatment imminently. Enrolment in cohort B will commence upon approval by the study DSMB, which is anticipated to be received towards the end of October 2023. In addition, the Company is planning to add two more investigational centres into the study with activation expected in December 2023 and January 2024, respectively. Annonce • Sep 22
Biodexa to Present Recruitment and Treatment Update in Phase 1 Study of Mtx-110 (Magic-G1 Study) in Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma At 2023 Annual European Association of Neuro-Oncology Meeting (Eano) Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC announced that it will be presenting an update on the recruitment and treatment of patients in the ongoing Phase 1 study of MTX-110 (also known as MAGIC-G1 study) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGB) during a poster session on 22 September 2023, at the 2023 annual EANO meeting in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (NCT 05324501). MAGIC-G1 is an open-label, dose escalation study designed to assess the feasibility and safety of intermittent infusions of MTX-110 administered by convection enhanced delivery (CED) via implanted refillable pump and catheter. The study aims to recruit two cohorts, each with a minimum of four patients; while patients in both cohorts will receive MTX-110 via intermittent repeated CED infusions, patients in the second cohort will be allowed CED catheter repositioning upon first in-study clinical and/or radiographic confirmed progression. As of the time of this announcement, three patients have been dosed in the first cohort of the study. No dose-limiting toxicities have been observed at any dose level; and all study-related, non-surgical adverse events were grade 1 or 2 and correlated with the location of the lesion being treated. Patient 1 has received 13 treatment cycles over 19 weeks of study treatment period, whereas patient 2 received 10 cycles over 13 weeks of study treatment period; patient 3 has been recently enrolled and continues to receive treatment. GB is the most common and devastating primary malignant brain tumour in adults encompassing 14.3% of all primary brain and central nervous system neoplasms(1). With an incidence of approximately 3.2 per 100,000 population in the USA, approximately 12,300 people in the USA will be diagnosed with GB per annum. Standard of care for treatment of GB is typically maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy plus concomitant and maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy with or without the Optune® device. Notwithstanding, the multidisciplinary approach, almost all patients experience tumour progression with nearly universal mortality. The median survival from initial diagnosis is less than 21 months(2). Currently, no standard of care is established for rGB. MTX110 is a water-soluble form of panobinostat free base, achieved through complexation with hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), that enables convection-enhanced delivery (CED) at potentially chemotherapeutic doses directly to the site of the tumour. Panobinostat is a hydroxamic acid and acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDAC inhibitor). The currently available oral formulation of panobinostat lactate (Farydak®) is not suitable for treatment of brain cancers owing to poor blood-brain barrier penetration and inadequate brain drug concentrations. Based on favourable translational science data, MTX110 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment for recurrent glioblastoma (NCT05324501), paediatric DMG (NCT04264143) and recurrent medulloblastoma (NCT04315064). MTX110 is delivered directly into and around the patient’s tumour via a catheter system (e.g. CED or fourth ventricle infusions) to bypass the blood-brain barrier. This technique exposes the tumour to very high drug concentrations while simultaneously minimising systemic drug levels and the potential for toxicity and other side effects. Panobinostat has demonstrated high potency against DIPG and GBM tumour cells in vitro and in vivo models, and in a key study it was the most promising of 83 anticancer agents tested in 14 patient-derived DIPG cell lines (Grasso et al, 2015.

Biodexa Ltd Announces Completion of Enrolment and Treatment in the Phase 1 Study of Mtx110 in the Treatment of Children with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Midline Gliomas (Dmgs) Biodexa Ltd. announced completion of enrolment and treatment of nine paediatric patients into the ongoing investigator-sponsored Phase I study of MTX-110 in newly diagnosed DMGs (NCT 04264143). All of the patients (age range 4-17 years) were enrolled at the Columbia University Irving Medical Centre and received radiation therapy as per the institution's standard of care. Each patient subsequently underwent surgery with implantation of an intratumoral catheter and a programmable subcutaneous pump and 8 out of 9 have received two infusions of MTX110 via convection-enhanced delivery (CED) separated by a period of 1 week. concentrations of 30, 60 or 90 uM were delivered with no intra-patient dose escalation. No dose limiting toxicities related to the study drug have been reported in the study. Full study results are expected to be made public around the 1st quarter of 2024. About DMG: DMG is a primary brain tumour arising in the midline structures of the brain including the pons of the brain stem, is diffusely infiltrating and cannot be surgically removed. Occurring mostly in children, the median survival rate in a cohort of 316 cases was 10.0 months and overall survival at 12 months was 35% (Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). Although radiotherapy prolongs survival, the majority of patients die within one year following diagnosis. Systemic chemotherapy is ineffective, often due to an inability of agents to cross the blood-brain barrier. Approximately 1,100 (data on file) individuals are diagnosed with DIPG worldwide each year. MTX110 is a water-soluble form of panobinostat free base, achieved through complexation with hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), that enables CED at potentially therapeutic doses directly to the site of the tumour. Panobinostat is a hydroxamic acid and acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDAC inhibitor). The currently available oral formulation of panobinostat lactate (Farydak®?) is not suitable for treatment of brain cancers owing to poor blood-brain barrier penetration and inadequate brain drug concentrations. Based on favourable translational science data, MTX110 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment for recurrent glioblastoma (NCT05324501), paediatric DMG (NCT04264143) and recurrent medulloblastoma (NCT04315064).

Midatech Pharma PLC Announces Planned Dose Escalation in MTX-110 Phase 1 Study Midatech Pharma PLC announced that following completion of one month of treatment with MTX-110 in the first patient, its Phase I study of MTX-110 in recurrent glioblastoma (rGB) (NCT 05324501) will continue with a planned dose escalation following a positive recommendation from the study's Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). The Phase I study, the MAGIC-G1 study, is an open-label, dose escalation study designed to assess the feasibility and safety of intermittent infusions of MTX-110 administered by convection enhanced delivery (CED) via implanted refillable pump and catheter. The study aims to recruit two cohorts, each with a minimum of four patients; the first cohort will receive MTX-110 only and the second cohort will receive MTX-110 in combination with lomustine. The first patient in the study was dosed at 60uM of MTX-110 via direct-to-tumour delivery and has received four 48-hour infusions over a period of four weeks. No treatment-associated adverse events were noted in the patient during this period. Following successful completion of the first month of treatment, the DSMB reviewed the available data on 11 January 2023 and recommended dose escalation in the study to 90uM. This dose is expected to be the optimal one of MTX-110 and is the one currently being used in the ongoing Phase I study of patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) at the Columbia University, USA. Patient 1 continues treatment as per the study protocol and patient 2 is expected to start treatment by the end of January 2023 and will receive the 90uM dose.

Midatech Pharma PLC Announces Investigational New Drug Application for Study of MTX110 in Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM) Becomes Effective Midatech Pharma PLC announced that its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a Phase 1 study of MTX110, a panobinostat complex to be administered by convection enhanced delivery in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM), has been cleared by the US FDA. Accordingly, Midatech has initiated preparations for a study start in the first half of 2022. Employing the Company's MidaSolve™ technology, MTX110 solubilises panobinostat, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor currently used in the treatment of multiple myeloma. In a liquid formulation as MTX110, panobinostat can be delivered directly to a patient's tumour under constant pressure via a catheter system (Convection Enhanced Delivery, or "CED") thereby bypassing the blood-brain barrier and allowing for high drug concentrations and broader drug distribution in and around the tumour while simultaneously minimising systemic toxicity and other side effects. Panobinostat has demonstrated high potency against patient-derived tumour cells in vitro and in vivo models. GBM is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer in adults, usually occurring in the white matter of the cerebrum. Treatments include radiation, surgical resection and chemotherapy although, in almost all cases, tumours recur. There are approximately 2-3/100,000(1) diagnoses of GBM per annum. Survival with standard of care treatment ranges from approximately 13 months in unmethylated MGMT patients to approximately 30 months in highly methylated MGMT patients(2). Glioblastoma is an intractable brain cancer. The primary objective of the Phase I study will be to assess the safety and tolerability of MTX110 in patients with rGBM. The study is expected to include two clinical centres in the US and to begin recruiting H1 2022. Annonce • Jun 30

Midatech Pharma PLC to Present MTX110 Programmes at The International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology, Karuizawa, Japan Midatech Pharma PLC announced that its University collaborators will be presenting three sets of research findings on MTX110 at The International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology on 13-16 December 2020 in Karuizawa, Japan (to be held online this year). The first two presentations, by Columbia University Medical Center and University of Texas Health Center at Houston, are being presented for the first time. The third presentation, by the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium, was also presented at last months' Society of Neuro-Oncology (SNO2020) conference. Abstract details and links to the posters are provided below: A Phase I Study Examining the Feasibility of Intermittent Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) of MTX110 for the Treatment of Children with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Midline Gliomas (ABSTRACT DDEL-07, Page iii284) - Lead Author: Dr Stergios Zacharoulis MD, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, USA. In the study: Patients are receiving continuous CED infusions of MTX110 for 48 hours on two cycles separated by 5 to 7 days; 3 patients have been treated so far at 30 microM; No Serious Adverse Events; Toxicity: Grade II diplopia (1) Grade I sensation (n=1), headache Grade II (n=2); and 1 patient progressed 8 months post treatment. High Dose MTX110 (Soluble Panobinostat) Safely Administered into the Fourth Ventricle in a Non-Human Primate Model (ABSTRACT DDEL-09, Page iii285) - Lead Author: Dr David Sandberg MD, McGovern Medical School, University of Texas Health Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA. Conclusions of the presentation are: Fourth ventricle catheters were successfully instilled to enable locoregional infusion of MTX110; MTX110 was well-tolerated, with no evidence of toxicity; Drug levels in the CNS reached a therapeutic range; and The data support the safety of administration of MTX110 via the fourth ventricle; and Clinical trial in recurrent medulloblastoma patients is ongoing. PNOC015: An Open Label Single Arm Phase I/II Study of MTX110 Delivered by Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) in Patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) Previously Treated with External Beam Radiation Therapy (ABSTRACT EPCT-12, Page iii306).

Midatech Pharma plc Announces Headline Results of MTX110 Phase I DIPG Study Midatech Pharma PLC, announced encouraging headline results from a Phase I study at the University of California, San Francisco in patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the dosage regimen to be used in a proposed Phase II study of the safety and efficacy of MTX110 in patients with DIPG. Preliminary high-level data from the UCSF study supports a dose of between 60µM and 90µM of MTX110, depending upon patient tolerance over the course of 12 infusions in Phase II. total, seven patients were recruited into the UCSF study. Patients were newly diagnosed with DIPG and received focal external beam radiation therapy four to 14 weeks before commencement of MTX110 treatment. Eligibility required a pontine location of the tumour with diffuse involvement of at least two thirds of the pons and no evidence of metastatic disease. Patients were not excluded by total tumour volume. MTX110 was administered directly into the tumour via a micro-catheter using convection enhanced delivery ("CED") with gadolinium-enhanced intra-operative MRI to guide and track drug distribution to the tumour. Patients could receive up to 12 cycles of treatment every four to eight weeks. The dose was escalated between and within patients as tolerated initially by increasing the infusion volume at a concentration of 30µM MTX110 and then with higher drug concentrations of 60µM and 90µM as the sixth and seventh dose increments, respectively. At the interim cut-off date (30 September 2020), median overall survival based on Kaplan Meier analysis was 26.06 months (CI 11.3 - 26.06 months) and overall survival at 12 months (OS12) was 71.4% (five of seven patients alive). Three patients remain alive and continue to be monitored. Survival was not an endpoint of the UCSF study nor was the study powered for statistical significance and therefore no conclusions as to the impact of MTX110 on overall survival rates can be drawn from these data. The proposed Phase II trial is expected to evaluate overall survival at 12 months as the primary endpoint in 19 evaluable patients. The planned design is single arm and statistically powered for comparisons with defined historical survival data. MTX110 is expected to be delivered using an alternative CED catheter system that enables regular drug infusions directly into the tumour without a need for repeated surgery. Annonce • Aug 28
