Regen BioPharma, Inc. Announces Signing of a Letter of Intent to Acquire an In vitro Diagnostics Start-Up Company Canary Oncoceutics, Inc. Which is Developing Functional Cancer Tests for Personalized Medicine
Regen BioPharma (PINK: RGBP, RGBPP) has announced a strategic shift towards in-vitro diagnostics, focusing on regenerative medicine. The company has entered a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Canary Oncoceutics, a firm developing precision oncology tests. This acquisition is contingent on due diligence and a crucial need for $50 million in funding to support development. Canary’s innovative technology aims to enhance cancer treatment by personalizing drug recommendations based on individual tumor responses. The global cancer diagnostics market is projected to grow from $168 billion in 2020 to $280 billion by 2028.
- Strategic acquisition of Canary Oncoceutics to expand into in-vitro diagnostics.
- Opportunity to leverage innovative cellular technology for cancer treatment.
- Expanding into a growing market projected to reach $280 billion by 2028.
- Acquisition contingent on raising $50 million, which poses financial risk.
- Reliance on the successful outcome of due diligence and negotiations.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Regen BioPharma, Inc. (PINK: RGBP) and (PINK: RGBPP) is currently completing a strategic analysis of its next 5 years of growth. As part of this analysis, diversifying beyond therapeutics into in-vitro diagnostics has been deemed a strategic priority, particularly by continuing to focus on using regenerative and cellular medicine approaches. Therefore, Regen has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire Canary Oncoceutics, Inc., a new company developing in vitro precision oncology tests using cellular technology. The acquisition contemplated by the non-binding LOI is contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, completion of due diligence, the completion of final negotiations, and execution of a definitive agreement. It is presently contemplated that in order for this acquisition to close, Regen must raise
Canary Oncoceutics, Inc. is developing a precision oncology testing platform that will complement existing cancer genomic testing.
Cancer genomic testing involves analyzing a sample of a cancer tumor to see how active certain genes are and if they are abnormally modified. The activity level of these genes affects factors including how likely the cancer is to grow and spread. By identifying the genetic alterations that are unique to a patient's individual cancer, doctors are able to identify specific drugs designed to target those mutations. However, the list of drugs generated by genomic testing may be quite extensive and different patients respond differently to the same drug.
Canary Oncoceutics, Inc. is developing tests that take those recommendations and test them on a patient's tumor in a laboratory setting thereby allowing doctors to refine the list of recommendations generated through genomic testing down to those drugs or drug combinations which will work best on that specific patient.
"This revolutionary functional approach to precision oncology is enabled by technology which Canary Oncoceutics, Inc. is in the process of licensing from Cornell University", says Dr. Harry Lander, its CEO. "The technology creates a fully vascularized patient tumor in vitro by using endothelial cells and tumor obtained from the patient via biopsy. No artificial scaffolds or devices are needed and this allows for the perfusion of patient blood in this patient-derived tumoroid. The system is being designed to test various drugs for tumor killing as well as the effect the drugs have on tumor stem cells."
"Companion diagnostics in precision oncology is where the future of cancer treatment is heading. The global cancer diagnostics market was
