Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and Binghamton University Enter into Research Agreement
Dr. Steve Slilaty, Sunshine's President and CEO, stated "we are very excited to sign the agreement with Binghamton University. This is the next step for us and we believe Adva-27a is a much more effective inhibitor of Topoisomerase II without the risks of toxicity or significant adverse side effects. Data published in our issued and pending patent applications have shown that Adva-27a is three times more effective in arresting cancer cell growth than its current market competitor." Dr. Slilaty also stated "We anticipate completion by the first half of 2012 and if things go as we expect, we anticipate Adva-27a to be available for "compassionate-use" by the end of the trial. We are excited by the challenges ahead and the potential to make a difference in the length and quality of life for many cancer patients throughout the world".
Dr. Susannah Gal, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Binghamton University, stated "I look forward to pursuing laboratory studies and coordinating clinical trials to better understand the action of this exciting new drug. If these studies pan out as expected, this drug could have a dramatic positive impact in the clinic. As a cancer survivor myself, it is gratifying to potentially help those facing the ravages of this disease with our work on this compound."
