Sun BioPharma to Begin Dosing Pancreatic Cancer Patients in Clinical Trials (Globe Newswire)

UF startup Sun BioPharma, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing disruptive therapeutics for the treatment of pancreatic diseases, provided a business update and reports financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

The Company’s newest trial, a combination of SBP-101 to be administered with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in previously untreated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), is expected to begin dosing patients by the end of May 2018. Site initiation visits have been completed at 2 of 4 participating cancer centers: the Adelaide Cancer Centre in Adelaide, Australia, and the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida where SBP-101 was invented. Both centers are actively recruiting subjects for the study. Two additional sites, both in Australia, will be initiated in June of 2018. This study includes a dose-escalation phase with sequential cohorts of patients receiving treatment at each of three SBP-101 dose levels. The dose-escalation phase will be followed by an expansion phase at the optimal dose level of SBP-101. The study has been registered on the clinicaltrials.gov website.
