| SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: DMPI) (“DelMar” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new cancer therapies, announced its financial results for the year ended June 30, 2019. “This has been a productive quarter and year for DelMar as we have achieved multiple data milestones for both of our Phase 2 GBM trials for VAL-083,” commented Saiid Zarrabian, DelMar’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Most importantly, based on recent budget refinements, we now believe we have sufficient capital to achieve release of topline data for two of our three currently enrolling MGMT-unmethylated GBM patient groups. These topline results include the recurrent setting GBM trial being conducted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the first line GBM trial being conducted at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in China. We anticipate results from both of these trials to be announced during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2020 and will be supported by the Company’s recent financings completed in June and August 2019. Additionally, we have also relocated our headquarters to San Diego to position ourselves for better access to required expertise as we advance our trials.” RECENT CORPORATE UPDATES

ABOUT DELMAR PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Located in San Diego, California, DelMar is focused on the development and commercialization of new therapies for cancer patients who have limited or no treatment options. By focusing on understanding tumor biology and mechanisms of treatment resistance, the Company identifies biomarkers to personalize new therapies in indications where patients are failing, or are unable to tolerate, standard-of-care treatments. The Company’s current pipeline is based around VAL-083, a “first-in-class”, small-molecule chemotherapeutic with a novel mechanism of action that has demonstrated clinical activity against a range of cancers, including central nervous system, ovarian and other solid tumors (e.g. NSCLC, bladder cancer, head & neck) in U.S. clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Based on DelMar’s internal research programs and these prior NCI-sponsored clinical studies, the Company is conducting clinical trials to support the development and commercialization of VAL-083 to solve significant unmet medical needs. VAL-083 is being studied in two collaborator-supported, biomarker-driven Phase 2 clinical trials for MGMT-unmethylated GBM. Overcoming MGMT-mediated resistance represents a significant unmet medical need in the treatment of GBM. In addition, DelMar has announced the allowance of a separate IND for VAL-083 as a potential treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Further information on DelMar’s clinical trials can be found on clinicaltrials.gov: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=&term=val-083&cntry1=&state1=&recrs For additional information, please visit http://delmarpharma.com/; or contact DelMar Pharmaceuticals Investor Relations: ir@delmarpharma.com / (604) 629-5989.
