Insights

The publication in Biomedicines highlighting BP1003's therapeutic potential is a significant milestone for Bio-Path Holdings. This peer-reviewed article adds credibility to their DNAbilize® technology and expands its potential applications. The study's focus on BP1003's efficacy in multiple solid tumor models, including breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers, broadens the drug's market potential.

The targeting of STAT3 mRNA is particularly noteworthy. STAT3's role in tumorigenesis, drug resistance and immune evasion makes it a prime target for cancer therapeutics. If BP1003 can effectively inhibit STAT3, it could potentially address multiple challenges in cancer treatment simultaneously. The suggestion that BP1003 might enhance the efficacy of current chemotherapies is especially promising, as combination therapies are increasingly important in oncology.

However, it's important to note that these are still preclinical results. The transition from preclinical to clinical success is notoriously challenging in oncology. Investors should watch for announcements of clinical trials to gauge BP1003's true potential.

This publication marks Bio-Path's 22nd peer-reviewed article supporting their DNAbilize® technology, demonstrating a consistent track record of scientific validation. This accumulation of evidence could be important for attracting partnerships or funding for future clinical trials.

The company's pipeline diversity is noteworthy. With prexigebersen in Phase 2 for blood cancers, BP1001-A in Phase 1/1b for solid tumors and BP1002 being evaluated for both blood cancers and solid tumors, Bio-Path is not overly reliant on a single candidate. The addition of BP1003, targeting STAT3, further diversifies their portfolio.

However, Bio-Path's market cap and stock performance suggest investor skepticism. The company will need to show clinical progress and potentially seek strategic partnerships to fully capitalize on their pipeline's potential. The planned IND filing for BP1003 could be a near-term catalyst, but investors should be aware that the path from IND to market is long and uncertain in biotech.

Manuscript Highlights Therapeutic Potential of BP1003 in Variety of Cancers

Marks Company’s Twenty-Second Peer-Reviewed Publication in Support of its DNAbilize® Technology

HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:BPTH), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize® liposomal delivery and antisense technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer drugs, today announced a publication highlighting the therapeutic potential of BP1003 in a variety of cancer types in the peer-reviewed journal, Biomedicines.

The article, titled “BP1003 Decreases STAT3 Expression and Its Pro-Tumorigenic Functions in Solid Tumors and the Tumor Microenvironment,” describes the broad anti-tumor effect of BP1003 in numerous preclinical solid tumor models including breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. BP1003 is a neutral liposome incorporated with a nuclease resistant P-ethoxy antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting the STAT3 mRNA and its unique design enhances stability, cellular uptake, and target affinity.

The article was authored by Maria Gagliardi, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, Michael Roberts, Director of Manufacturing Planning & Engineering, and Ana Tari Ashizawa, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research, Development and Clinical Design at Bio-Path Holdings. The article’s co-authors included investigators from Thomas Jefferson University and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“Overexpression and aberrant activation of STAT3 contributes to tumorigenesis, drug resistance, and tumor-immune evasion, making it a probable cancer therapeutic target. Consequently, we believe BP1003 has the potential to enhance the efficacy of current standard of care chemotherapies in a broad range of difficult to treat cancers,” said Dr. Tari Ashizawa.

About Bio-Path Holdings, Inc.
