Hofseth Biocare ASA: HBC Immunology Inc successfully completes first animal model of prostate cancer with FT-005 in combination with hormonal (anti-androgen) therapy demonstrating significant anti-tumour activity

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

HBC Immunology Inc. (70.6% owned by Hofseth BioCare ASA) reports today the successful completion of the first in vivo study within its prostate cancer development program. The study assessed whether the combination of targeted hormonal therapy, bicalutamide, and FT-002 or FT-005 was better at suppressing PC3 tumour growth compared to control (no treatment). PC3 represents a model of very aggressive prostate cancer which is resistant to standard treatment.

The FT peptides are HBCI’s two leading drug candidates, and both slowed tumour growth. By the end of the study mean tumour volumes were significantly smaller with FT-005 treatment (p<0.05) compared to control but the effect of FT-002 did not reach significance. Bicalutamide alone had a minimal impact on tumour growth.

This result indicates that by effectively targeting tumour iron metabolism the FT peptides can re-sensitised cancer to standard cancer therapy with the potential to deliver much longer periods of tumour control.
