HARTFORD, Conn., July 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gase Energy, Inc. (OTCIQ: GASE) have announced the signing of a Letter of Intent for a merger with Curadox Biopharma, Inc. (CBI), a pharmaceutical company specializing in research and development of drugs designed to target and destroy diseased/infected cells, particularly drug-resistant cancer cells.
Sean Martin, CEO of GASE, commented "We are extremely excited to be rebranding Gase Energy into the biotechnology business and merging with a promising oncology company focused on minimally toxic treatments for cancer patients. The CBI platform technology, which shows promise with many cancers, has shown compelling results through in vitro testing performed by the National Cancer Institute, multiple clinical trials in humans, as well as having been approved for Compassionate Use by the FDA. We look forward to a successful merger and working closely with the experienced management team at CBI to move their portfolio of drugs forward."
David Barshis, CEO of CBI also stated "We look forward to the merger with GASE in order to leverage the OTC markets and beyond to raise funding adequate for the program execution through IND submission and Phase 2 clinical trials, representing a compelling opportunity for the Company.“ The CBI technology utilizes the binding of transferrin (TRF) to an existing chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin (DOX), to create the TRF-drug conjugate that specifically targets abnormal cells such as those affected by cancer or viral infection, uniquely characterized by an increased number of transferrin receptors on their surface, to initiate killing of the infected cells while sparing normal cells that have far fewer transferrin receptors. CBI anticipates the TRF-DOX Conjugate/CD-TD1 program to qualify for regulatory review as a biological product (BLA) as well as for orphan drug status.
