HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:BPTH) (“Bio-Path”), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary liposomal delivery technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer drugs, today announced operational and financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

“Completion of the data package for the monotherapy portion of the Phase 1 trial of Liposomal Grb-2 in blood cancers was a significant milestone in wrapping up that portion of the trial”

SECOND QUARTER 2015 AND RECENT OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The data package for the monotherapy portion of the Phase 1 clinical trial of Bio-Path’s lead compound, Liposomal Grb-2 (“BP-1001”), in blood cancers was finalized during the quarter. Liposomal Grb-2 was well tolerated with the drug showing signs of anti-leukemia activity and no drug related toxicities. Among 21 evaluable patients, more than half experienced at least a fifty percent (50%) reduction in peripheral or bone marrow blasts from baseline. Additionally, several patients demonstrated transient improvement and/or stable disease. Notably, one patient with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) blast phase showed a significant reduction in blasts. The patient data from the Phase I clinical trial also demonstrated significant reductions in the target Grb-2 protein and its downstream proteins, providing positive evidence that Bio-Path’s DNAbilizeTM neutral lipid delivery with proprietary antisense technology successfully delivers an antisense drug substance to a diseased cell to knock down the target protein, which is an industry-first for antisense systemic therapeutics.
