Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. Announces Publication of Phase II Results in Patients with Non-Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

Burzynski Research Institute, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of novel therapies for patients with brain and brainstem tumors and other cancers, announces the publication of data by the Burzynski Clinic on two of the company's clinical stage products Antineoplaston A10 injections (Atengenal^®) and Antineoplaston AS2-1 injections (Astugenal^®). Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 are synthetic amino acid derivatives.

A phase two, single-arm, two-stage, interventional trial was conducted in thirty-nine patients with inoperable brainstem gliomas. A subgroup analysis in eleven patients that were diagnosed with non-diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (NDIPG) is presented. Data describing the results of treatment of the subgroup of patients diagnosed with pediatric recurrent DIPG were previously published. Overall survival in NDIPG at 1, 5, 10 and 15 years are presented. One NDIPG patient experienced a serious, but reversible Grade 4hypokalemia. Grade 1 and 2 adverse events, including hypernatremia and somnolence, were also reported and were consistent with those observed in other clinical trials.

The publication entitled, "A Phase II Study of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 in Patients with Brainstem Gliomas. The Report on Non-Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (protocol BT (News - Alert)-11)," was published in J Cancer Ther 2015; 6: 334-344. The manuscript also appears in the online version http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jct.2015.64036.
