Study Progresses to Fourth Higher 90 mg/m2 Dose Cohort
Compelling Patient Response Highlighted by Stable Disease and Significant Reduction in Blast Count After One Treatment Cycle
HOUSTON, Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BPTH#NASDAQ">BPTH</a>), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize&#xAE; liposomal delivery and antisense technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer and obesity drugs, today provides an update from the Company's ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial evaluating BP1002 for the treatment of refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including venetoclax-resistant patients. The Company announced a meaningful patient response to treatment and the clinical trial has progressed to the fourth, higher dose cohort of 90 mg/m2.

Bio-Path Holdings Provides Update From Phase 1/1b Clinical Trial Of BP1002 For Treatment Of Refractory/Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Meaningful Patient Response Seen; Trial Advances To 90 mg Dose Cohort

Clinical Program Overview
<ul>
<li>Bio-Path's clinical development program consists of one Phase 2 clinical trial, two Phase 1 or 1/1b clinical trials, and two preclinical programs. Bio-Path has developed a molecular biomarker package for its Phase 2 clinical trial in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that was developed to identify patients that potentially have a higher propensity to respond to prexigebersen treatment. Bio-Path expects to utilize the biomarker package to accompany prexigebersen treatment in 2025 and expects to evaluate prexigebersen for the treatment of obesity. In addition, BP1001-A is in preclinical development for treatment of obesity in Type 2 Diabetes patients, which may be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later in the year in an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Development of Molecular Biomarkers – Bio-Path has developed a molecular biomarker package to accompany prexigebersen treatment, the goal of which is to identify patients with a genetic profile more likely to respond to treatment thereby improving probability of success for this program. The emerging role of biomarkers has been enhancing cancer development over the past decade and has become a more common companion to many cancer development programs. Bio-Path expects to utilize the prexigebersen biomarkers in 2025 in the Phase 2 AML clinical trial and to develop additional molecular biomarker packages to accompany its new programs.</li>
<li>Prexigebersen Phase 2 Clinical Trial – Bio-Path's Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of AML is comprised of three cohorts of patients and treatments, each separately approvable by the FDA as a new indication. The first two cohorts are treating patients with the triple combination of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax. The first cohort includes untreated AML patients, and the second cohort includes relapsed/refractory AML patients. Finally, the third cohort is treating relapsed/refractory AML patients who are venetoclax-resistant or intolerant with the two-drug combination of prexigebersen and decitabine. Outcomes for these older patients who are unable to receive intensive chemotherapy due to the challenging side effect profile, remain suboptimal with a median survival of only 5 to 10 months. Bio-Path also expects to utilize an advisory panel of AML experts to assist in the design of the final clinical development plans through potential FDA approval. Other significant milestones expected during 2025 include the completion of Cohort 2 and an interim analysis for Cohort 3.</li>
<li>Phase 1/1b Clinical Trial in BP1001-A in Advanced Solid Tumors – A Phase 1/1b clinical trial of BP1001-A in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors, including ovarian and uterine, pancreatic and breast cancer, is ongoing. BP1001-A is a modified product candidate that incorporates the same drug substance as prexigebersen but has a slightly modified formulation designed to enhance nanoparticle properties. The Phase 1 study has advanced to the second, higher dose level and the first patient in the second dose cohort continued experiencing a positive response which may signal that this analog of prexigebersen has potential as a new treatment for advanced solid tumors. The patient continues to be doing well after ten months on study after failing extensive chemotherapy and surgical treatment for gynecologic cancer, demonstrating a 15% reduction in her primary tumor through nine cycles of treatment. Moreover, it appears that these positive outcomes may have contributed to allowing her to continue with rigorous exercise and improved quality of life. Completion of the second and third dosing cohorts are expected in 2025.</li>
<li>The Phase 1b portion of the study is expected to commence after successful completion of the three BP1001-A monotherapy dose level cohorts and is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of BP1001-A in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent ovarian or endometrial tumors. Phase 1b studies are also expected to be initiated in combination with gemcitabine in Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and combination therapy in breast cancer.</li>
<li>Phase 1/1b Clinical Trial in BP1002 in Relapsed/Refractory AML – A Phase 1/1b clinical trial for BP1002 to treat relapsed/refractory AML patients, including venetoclax-resistant patients, is ongoing. BP1002 targets the protein Bcl-2, which is responsible for driving cell survival in up to 60% of all cancers. Venetoclax treats AML patients by blocking the activity of the Bcl-2 protein in AML patients. However, over time patients become resistant to venetoclax. BP1002 treats the Bcl-2 target by blocking the cell's ability to produce Bcl-2 and could provide benefit for these venetoclax resistant patients. AML patients that fail frontline venetoclax-based therapy have very poor prognosis with median overall survival of less than three months. The first dose cohort consisted of a starting dose of 20 mg/m2, the second dose cohort of 40 mg/m2 and there were no dose limiting toxicities. The third dosing cohort of 60 mg/m2 is open and enrollment closed faster than expected which Bio-Path believes reflects the need for additional treatment options.</li>
<li>Prexigebersen as Potential Treatment for Obesity in Type 2 Diabetes Patients – BP1001-A downregulates Grb2 expression to increase insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood glucose level in Type 2 diabetes patients. Scientific evidence suggeststhat by downregulating Grb2 expression, BP1001-A&nbsp;could help lower blood glucose levels by affecting insulin signaling. Bio-Path conducted preclinical studies that confirmed the effectiveness of BP1001-A in affecting insulin signaling and its potential efficacy as a therapeutic treatment for obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes. In 2025, Bio-Path expects to complete preclinical testing and to file an IND.</li>

Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BPTH#NASDAQ">BPTH</a>) shares are surging Thursday following the company's announcement of encouraging preclinical results for BP1001-A, a potential treatment for obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BPTH/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: The preclinical studies demonstrated that BP1001-A enhances insulin sensitivity by downregulating the growth factor receptor-bound protein 2. These findings suggest BP1001-A could improve insulin-induced metabolic processes and offer a new therapeutic option for obesity-related metabolic conditions.
Following these findings, the company began animal studies to validate the efficacy of BP1001-A. Pending success, the company plans on holding a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in 2025 to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and dosing.
BPTH Price Action: Bio-Path Holdings shares were up 104.8% at $1.37 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Bio-Path Holdings Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Downside, Stock Now Up 341%

Bio-Path Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker

BP1001-A downregulates growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) expression to increase insulin sensitivity and helps lower blood glucose level in Type 2 diabetes patients. Scientific evidence suggeststhat by downregulating Grb2 expression, BP1001-A&nbsp;could help lower blood glucose level by affecting insulin signaling. Bio-Path conducted preclinical studies that confirmed the effectiveness of BP1001-A in affecting insulin signaling and its potential efficacy as a therapeutic treatment for obese patients who have Type 2 diabetes.&nbsp;&nbsp; The study results showed:
<ul>
<li>BP1001-A reduced Grb2 protein expression in myoblast cells</li>
<li>BP1001-A increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated FOXO-1 in myoblast and hepatoma cells in the presence of insulin</li>
</ul>
These initial data confirmed that by downregulating Grb2 expression, BP1001-A could enhance insulin-induced metabolic events by affecting the insulin/phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway and increase insulin sensitivity.&nbsp;

Bio-Path Reported That Results From Preclinical Studies Of BP1001-A For Obesity Demonstrated Enhanced Insulin Sensitivity, Confirming BP1001-A As A Potential Treatment For Obesity And Related Metabolic Diseases In Type 2 Diabetes Patients
