biomarck pharmaceuticals intends to support children with difficult to treat cancers such as Rhabdomyosarcoma and Neuroblastoma. This may be done by a compassionate use program under the Investigator IND of the treating hospital. This effort will be done in support of the concepts of non-profit organizations such as the Miami based Live Like Bella Foundation (Learn More) which supports children with cancer, their families and research into childhood cancer.
BIO-11006 is an investigational peptide medication delivered by nebulizer which has shown activity in the laboratory and in animal studies in certain types of cancer. It has been granted FDA acceptance to begin studies in adult lung cancer. BIO-11006 has been given to over 200 patients with COPD (chronic bronchitis and emphysema) and been shown to have a good safety profile at the recommended dose. It has not been given to children or cancer patients in controlled clinical studies.
Biomarck's BIO-11006 has two active INDs, including one is for respiratory disease. We have commenced enrollment in Phase 2 controlled clinical studies in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). See below for more information.
