Conference Call to be Held Today at 8:30 A.M. ET
HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize ® antisense RNAi nanoparticle technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer drugs, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided an update on recent corporate developments.
The third quarter was a particularly productive period for Bio-Path as we initiated our obesity program, which marks the first application of our DNAbilize ® platform beyond oncology and highlights its broad therapeutic potential,” said Peter Nielsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Path Holdings. “Importantly, we continued to advance our oncology programs and were delighted with the swift enrollment of the third cohort in our Phase 1/1b clinical trial of BP1002 in venetoclax-resistant AML patients, which was ahead of our projected timelines. We also published an article highlighting the broad anti-tumor effect of BP1003 in numerous preclinical solid tumor models, including breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer, in the peer-reviewed journal, Biomedicines.”

In October, the Company announced the initiation of a therapeutic program to develop BP1001-A for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. This program marks the first application of DNAbilize ® technology for development of a non-cancer application, which highlights the broad therapeutic potential of this technology. The disease pathology leading to obesity suggests that BP1001-A, which suppresses the adaptor protein Grb2, has the potential to treat insulin resistance, a major contributor to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and other related metabolic diseases. Bio-Path expects downregulating Grb2 expression with BP1001-A will enhance insulin sensitivity.
- Completion of Enrollment for Third Dosing Cohort of Phase 1/1b Clinical Trial of BP1002 in Venetoclax-Resistant Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Patients. In October, Bio-Path announced completion of enrollment for the third dosing cohort of the Company’s Phase 1/1b trial of BP1002 in venetoclax-resistant AML patients.
