Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ: “SBFM”), a pharmaceutical company
offering and researching life-saving medicines in a variety of
therapeutic areas including oncology and antivirals today announced
the signing of a research agreement with Sir Mortimer B. Davis
Jewish General Hospital, a McGill University Health Center hospital
located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The research effort will be
focused on advancing the development of Sunshine Biopharma’s
Adva-27a anticancer compound through the IND-enabling studies. At
any time the research results become conclusive and Sunshine
Biopharma wishes to proceed to conducting a Phase I clinical trial,
the Jewish General Hospital is prepared to negotiating a new
agreement to define the responsibilities and obligations of the
parties for such Phase I clinical trial to be performed.
Adva-27a had previously been shown to be
effective at destroying multidrug resistant cancer cells
originating from pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, small-cell lung
cancer and uterine sarcoma. The research will be conducted under
the direction of Dr. Gerald Batist, Head of the Department of
Oncology at the Jewish General Hospital and Director of the McGill
Center for Translational Research in Cancer (MCTRC) based at the
Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research.
“The Jewish General Hospital is one of the
leading cancer centers in North America and we are delighted to
work with their world renowned oncology physician and research
scientist, Dr. Gerald Batist,” said Dr. Steve Slilaty CEO of
Sunshine Biopharma. “We look forward to continuing the project with
the Hospital past the IND-enabling studies and through the clinical
trials to bring a new treatment for cancer sufferers around the
world,” he added.
