Propanc Biopharma Receives First Granted Patent for Method to Treat Cancer Stem Cells from Australian Patent Office

MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (OTC: PPCB) (“Propanc” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel cancer treatments for patients suffering from recurring and metastatic cancer, announced today that the first granted patent for an important patent family (i.e., a set of patents filed in various countries to protect an invention) was received by the Company from the Australian Patent Office. The granted patent protects proprietary claims, capturing methods and uses for pancreatic proenzymes to treat cancer, specifically, by targeting and eradicating cancer stem cells (“CSCs”). CSCs represent only a small fraction of the cancer cells within a tumor and can remain dormant for extended periods of time, thereby evading standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy that target dividing cells. Consequently, a priority for improving cancer treatment and reducing risk of cancer relapse is to develop new strategies that selectively target CSC eradication whilst sparing normal stem cells. This continues to be the focus of ongoing research, as the Company’s lead product candidate, PRP, advances towards clinical trials for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors.
