Company Gets Green Light for Manufacturing FDA Approved Non-Opioid Cancer Palliation Drug

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/25/2019 -- Q BioMed Inc. (QBIO), announces FDA approval of its contract manufacturer IsoTherapeutics Group LLC. IsoTherapeutics is now cleared to manufacture the Company's FDA approved non-opioid cancer bone pain drug Strontium-89 Chloride USP.

The long-awaited approval of the facility means that this important oncologic pain drug will soon be available to patients in the US and the rest of the world. Q BioMed is now the only FDA-approved source for this drug in the western world. The Company is activating its planned commercial operations to support marketing, sales, and distribution in the US and, soon, in the rest of the world.

Strontium-89 is an FDA-approved non-opioid radiopharmaceutical indicated for the treatment of painful skeletal metastases caused by cancer. The product is administered intravenously once every three months as an alternative to opioid analgesics and plays a critical role in the treatment of metastatic bone pain. The product has a long history of providing well-documented and significant pain relief for patients suffering from the excruciating pain associated with primary cancers that have spread to the bone, including breast, prostate, lung and others. This is the ideal time to be launching Strontium-89 given the current concerns with the over-use of opioid drugs. In addition, as more therapies come to market for the treatment of primary cancers, more people are living longer with metastatic disease. It is estimated that approximately two million patients experience debilitating bone pain from metastatic disease. The opportunity to provide significant pain relief to this group is substantial.

QBioMed CEO Denis Corin said, "We have been anticipating this critical regulatory step for a long time, certainly longer than we hoped, but we are thrilled that we can now move forward with certainty. This is the start of a new chapter in the evolution of our company, and we are looking forward to serving the needs of thousands of patients suffering from metastatic bone pain, providing them the chance to minimize their pain and positively impact life with metastatic disease. With millions of potential patients around the world, this is a major market opportunity for our company. In addition, we are investigating and planning expansion trials to provide additional indications for the drug and entry into an even larger therapeutic market."

We look forward to updating our shareholders and those awaiting the drug availability in the next 60 days.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2018 -- Q BioMed Inc., a commercial stage biotechnology acceleration development company, provides the following update on its exclusively licensed platform technology asset from Mannin Research Inc.

Together with Mannin Research, the company has made significant progress on their Tie2 activating molecule - currently being optimized for a topical eye drop for the treatment of open angle glaucoma. They recently filed patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office disclosing novel compounds capable of activating Tie2 receptor-mediated signaling. This is a tremendous achievement and involved significant and detailed work, giving them broad coverage of the platform from an intellectual property standpoint.

They have also completed initial proof-of-concept work on a novel biologic targeting Tie2 (MAN-11). This project provides them a completely different approach - i.e. a biologic vs. a small molecule, from which to build a biologic-based therapeutic platform targeting Tie2 receptor for the treatment of glaucoma and other vascular diseases.

The MAN-01 Program for primary open angle glaucoma is progressing well. Q BioMed Inc. iteratively optimized and refined new compounds for use in treating Primary Open Angle Glaucoma as an eye-drop.

The patients with primary open angle glaucoma, and their physicians, are seeking new medications to treat glaucoma, by slowing down or stopping the progressive loss of vision. There is a long standing and demonstrated need to increase both adherence and compliance in new glaucoma therapeutics (Glaucoma Today, August 2006). Their MAN-01 program is designed to address both issues by employing improved drug delivery profiles. The company will continue optimization of its lead candidates for planned phase I clinical trials in 2019.

Mannin Research representatives and CSO, Dr. Susan Quaggin will attend the International Vascular Biology Meeting 2018 (IVBM 2018), organized in Helsinki, Finland, June 3-7, 2018, by the European Vascular Biology Organisation, University of Helsinki & Wihuri Research Institute. The IVBM2018 will bring together researchers, executives, and investigators from all fields of vascular biology for the exchange of new ideas and discussions of burning issues. Dr. Quaggin will be presenting during the first Plenary session on June 3 discussing: 'Stolen identities - new vascular phenotypes Tie'd to disease'.

Q BioMed and Mannin representatives are also attending The BIO International Convention (BIO 2018) on June 4-7, 2018 in Boston, MA. The BIO International Convention is hosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO). The key benefits of attending the 2018 BIO International Convention are access to global biotech and pharma leaders via BIO One-on-One Partnering, exposure to industry thought-leaders with over 500 education sessions, and unparalleled networking opportunities with 16,000+ attendees from 74 countries.

BIO 2018 will provide Mannin Research with the opportunity to connect with key industry partners, develop new relationships, and continue discussions with key pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners with specific expertise in commercializing novel therapeutics for ophthalmology, glaucoma, and vascular diseases. The goal is to identify and engage with partners to explore research partnerships, or commercial partnership to drive new therapeutics for treating patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

Autism Language Expert Provides Primary Endpoint Protocol for Upcoming Clinical Trial

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/28/2017 -- Q BioMed Inc., a biotechnology acceleration company, announced today that Dr. Helen Tager-Flusberg from Boston University has joined its advisory committee for QBM-001, which is being tested for pediatric developmental nonverbal disorder in toddlers within the autism spectrum disorders.

Dr. Tager-Flusberg has provided the protocol for capturing the primary endpoint of the planned trial for QBM-001.

"We are honored to have Dr. Helen Tager-Flusberg join our advisory committee for QBM-001. She is a pioneer in her field, working with autism spectrum disorders to design speech and language assessment measures to capture their progress," said, Denis Corin, CEO of Q BioMed Inc.

Dr. Tager-Flusberg has dedicated much of her career to developing meaningful approaches to assess expressive language development in toddlers and children with developmental delay and autism spectrum disorders.

Her newest approach is called ELSA-T, which stands for Expressive Learning Sample Assessment for Toddlers. ELSA-T leverages validated components for language development, combined with more flexibility with the protocol to better adapt to the needs of a clinical trial and to the needs of caregivers and patients.

"Communication matters for all people," said Dr. Helen Tager-Flusberg. "And for me, it is all the more inspiring to be able to help design language assessment tools, such as ELSA-T, to assess speech and language development for toddlers with pediatric developmental delay in the autism spectrum disorder."

Q BioMed is preparing to use ELSA-T to capture language development as the primary endpoint for when toddlers are treated with QBM-001 in their planned clinical trial in 2018.

About Pediatric Development Nonverbal Disorder
There are approximately 20,000 new cases of pediatric developmental nonverbal disorder in the USA each year and a similar amount in Europe. The majority of the children are diagnosed as toddlers and fall within the autism and epilepsy spectrum disorders. Individually, the economic costs for toddlers that become non- or minimally verbal is ten million on average per person over their life. Collectively, an estimated 200 billion dollars is spent yearly on individuals who have become nonverbal in the USA. Not all individuals who become nonverbal will benefit from QBM-001, but testing from a trained specialists and blood tests, coupled with genetic testing can identify a targeted population that will have a higher likelihood of responding to treatment.

About ELSA-T
Eliciting Language Samples Activities for Toddlers or ELSA-T takes advantage of an approach that is widely used in the developmental psycholinguistic literature: the collection and analysis of natural language samples (NLS) which are recordings of the language production of an individual. The specific elicitation context can vary: a play session, a conversation, a narrative; the communicative partner can also be open: a parent, clinician, teacher, peer, or researcher. The duration of the sample can be adjusted to the specific aims of a study, through a sample of 15 – 30 minutes offers more robust measurement. The specific location where data are collected can also be tailored: at home, school, clinic or lab. Thus, the flexibility associated with the collection of NLSs makes them especially suitable for clinical trials on children with autism spectrum disorders and other disorders.

About Boston University Center for Autism Research Excellence (CARE)
CARE's primary mission is to advance scientific knowledge about the language and social communication impairments in autism/ASD and related disorders. We carry out studies on all ages using behavioral, brain, and cognitive measures. The goal is to understand the range of abilities, the developmental patterns, and the brain systems that may explain why people with autism have difficulties communicating with spoken language. Our research is aimed at developing new interventions that directly address the communication problems that we discover.

Sphaera to Provide Proprietary Patentable Analogue of QBM-001 for IND filing

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/21/2017 -- Q BioMed Inc., a biotechnology acceleration company, announced today a partnership with Sphaera Pharma to develop a new and proprietary analog of QBM-001 for pediatric developmental nonverbal disorder.

"The goal of our collaboration with Sphaera Pharma is to put the patient first, especially since QBM-001 targets a rare subset of toddlers that become non- or minimally verbal for the rest of their lives," said Denis Corin, CEO of Q BioMed.

Sphaera Pharma will employ its proprietary and patented platform to produce a novel analog that aims to reduce or eliminate potential side effects and can reduce the amount of product a toddler needs to take on a daily basis.

"Sphaera Pharma's platform has had great success by providing improved safety and efficacy profile for drugs being developed by biopharma companies," said Dr. Sundeep Dugar, CEO of Sphaera Pharma. "Being able to employ our technology to ensure a safer product that could allow these toddlers to speak is inspiring to our whole team."

Preclinical testing of the new analog is currently underway and a final product is scheduled to be ready by the middle of October, putting Q BioMed on a path to file an IND towards the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018.

The proprietary analog will also allow Q BioMed to apply for a global composition of matter patent for QBM-001, while still ensuring Q BioMed can pursue the 505(b)2 regulatory pathway in the US to ensure toddlers can possibly benefit from QBM-001 as soon as possible.

Q BioMed acquired a license to QBM-001 from ASDERA LLC in April of 2017.

About Strontium-89 Chloride
Following intravenous injection, soluble strontium compounds behave like their calcium analogs, clearing rapidly from the blood and selectively localizing in bone mineral. Uptake of strontium by bone occurs preferentially in sites of active osteogenesis; thus, primary bone tumors and areas of metastatic involvement (blastic lesions) can accumulate significantly greater concentrations of strontium than surrounding normal bone. Strontium-89 Chloride is retained in metastatic bone lesions much longer than in normal bone, where turnover is about 14 days. In patients with extensive skeletal metastases, well over half of the injected dose is retained in the bones. Excretion pathways are two-thirds urinary and one-third fecal in patients with bone metastases. Urinary excretion is higher in people without bone lesions. Urinary excretion is greatest in the first two days following injection. Strontium-89 is a pure beta emitter and Strontium-89 Chloride selectively irradiates sites of primary and metastatic bone involvement with minimal irradiation of soft tissues distant from the bone lesions.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2017 -- Q BioMed Inc., has closed on its final tranche of the $4,000,000 funding announced on November 30th, 2016. The company received $1,500,000 less fees on the final closing bringing the total gross funds received to date to $4MM.

Capital from the transaction will be used to advance our business plan and pipeline as we commercialize our first asset, Strontium Chloride 89 injection (SR89). SR89 is indicated for bone pain palliation, providing long-lasting relief for patients suffering from debilitating bone pain due to metastatic cancer, typically caused by advanced-stage breast, prostate or lung cancer.

Last week Q BioMed management attended the 2017 OMRF BioVenture Forum, an industry event organized and hosted by the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) where we advanced discussions on the development of a novel liver cancer drug candidate. Approximately, 700,000 people annually throughout the world are diagnosed with liver cancer and approximately 600,000 deaths annually are attributed to liver cancer. Chemotherapeutic options for liver cancer are limited and the prognosis of liver cancer patients remains very poor.

Management met with industry colleagues as well as the Governor of Oklahoma, Mary Fallin, at a reception hosted by the Governor. We look forward to working with all parties on this important drug, in what is a vibrant biotechnology corridor in Oklahoma City.

The capital also allows us advance discussions with potential additional assets as we continue to develop our drug pipeline.

The technology will utilize "uttroside B" and the compound's derivatives as a chemotherapeutic agent against hepatocellular carcinoma. The preclinical efficacy of uttroside B, a potent saponin, against liver cancer was recently demonstrated in a November 3, 2016 study published in Scientific Reports, a Nature journal.

The compound has been isolated and characterized from the leaves of Solanum nigrum Linn, a plant widely used in traditional medicine. In the Scientific Reports study, researchers showed that in animal models, uttroside B was ten times more cytotoxic to the HepG2 liver cancer cell line than the only drug currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for liver cancer.

Uttroside B drastically shrunk tumors in mice bearing human liver cancer xenografts. In addition, in pre-clinical experiments uttroside B induced cytotoxicity in all liver cancer cell lines, irrespective of their hepatitis B virus status, while being non-toxic to normal immortalized hepatocytes.

Chemotherapeutic options for liver cancer are limited, and the prognosis of patients remains challenging. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, claiming approximately 750,000 lives each year. In the US, the American Cancer Society estimates that 39,000 people will be diagnosed with primary liver cancer in 2017 and that 27,000 will die from the disease this year.

The currently available drug has been shown to increase survival by only a short period of time. That drug also been reported to carry a variety of serious side effects, including increased blood pressure, bleeding problems, decreased blood flow to the heart and heart attacks.

In the Scientific Reports study, uttroside B was shown to be several times more potent than the currently available drug and did not cause noticeable side effects in vitro or in vivo.

"We are encouraged by the preclinical results we observed in this data and look forward to working with our collaborators at OMRF and RGCB to carry out further pre-clinical and clinical evaluation of uttroside B," Q BioMed Inc. CEO Denis Corin said. "Our ultimate goal is to use it as an effective chemotherapeutic against liver cancer, which currently has very few therapeutic options."

The uttroside B technology is covered by a provisional patent application.

Platform technology well positioned to be a First-In-Class molecule for the treatment of glaucoma as well as cystic kidney disease and others

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/11/2015 -- Q BioMed Inc., a biotechnology acceleration company is pleased to announce it has signed a definitive license, with the option to acquire, the platform technology assets of Mannin Research Inc.

Mannin Research Inc., is a biotechnology company leading the development of a new class of vascular therapeutics. The drug development program at Mannin is led by Mannin's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Susan E. Quaggin, Chief of the Division of Nephrology and Director of the Feinberg Cardiovascular Research Institute at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Utilizing a proprietary research platform, only recently published (September 2014) in the Journal of Clinical Investigations, this technology is addressing the need for a new class of drugs to treat diseases such as glaucoma and Cystic Kidney disease. Our primary target indication is for a first-in-class therapeutic eye-drop for the treatment of glaucoma in adults and children.
The global market for glaucoma therapeutics is one of the largest segments of the $23 billion global ophthalmology market. There are 60 million people worldwide suffering from glaucoma. It is projected that the total population suffering from glaucoma will grow to 80 million by 2020 (W.H.O 2010). The lead candidate, MAN-01, will address this market as a first-in-class drug that is designed to treat abnormal vessels within the eye, thereby treating glaucoma at its root causes.

There is no cure for glaucoma and new therapeutics are highly sought after. Current therapies and surgical procedures are not optimally effective, are painful and not well tolerated by patients.

Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) is caused by abnormal flow of clear fluid within the eye, causing irreversible damage to the eye, ultimately leading to blindness. A specialized blood vessel, the 'Schlemm's canal' is the major drainage pathway for fluid to escape from the front of the eye. Glaucoma can occur when this canal is either blocked during the patient's lifetime or impaired from a birth defect, resulting in a small or absent Schlemm's canal.

Together with Mannin, we are developing a unique molecule delivered in an easy-to-administer eye drop designed to repair the normal flow of fluid in the eye resulting in the reduction of IOP, one of the main causes of glaucoma. Our platform is both unique and first-in-class and we are the only company targeting this mechanism of action.

Our estimates and market research has shown that demand for treatments in this sector is fairly in-elastic. The cost for treatment is projected to be approximately $1,000 per patient per year. Based on that and a moderate market penetration and sales growth estimate, revenues could be significant in this multi-billion dollar market.

In addition, a deep pipeline of novel therapeutics can be developed from this research platform developed and led by Dr. Quaggin, which would treat a spectrum of vascular diseases.

QBioMed CEO Denis Corin states, "We are extremely pleased to have closed on our initial technology transaction. This novel and exciting platform presents multiple opportunities and a pipeline of potential therapeutics including treatments for glaucoma and cystic kidney disease. We look forward to working with Dr. Quaggin, her team at Northwestern University, and Dr. George Nikopoulos, Mannin Research's CEO. We thank them for taking this step with us."

Dr. Nikopoulos said, "This partnership is truly exciting, as it has the potential to make a positive impact upon the health outcomes for the millions of people worldwide who live with glaucoma. The agreement with QBioMed further validates the innovative R&D being performed by Mannin Research. We look forward to this partnership with Denis and his team at QBioMed in accelerating the development of this innovative platform technology."
