Q BIOMED INC. ANNOUNCES FDA FILING FOR APPROVAL OF A NEW MANUFACTURING FACILITY FOR NON-OPIOID STRONTIUM CHLORIDE SR89 INJECTION USP FOR RELIEF OF CANCER BONE PAIN
 

New York, NY–(March 16, 2018)– Q BioMed Inc (OTCQB: QBIO), a commercial stage biotechnology acceleration development company, and Bio-Nucleonics, licensor of Strontium 89 Chloride, announce submission of a regulatory filing to the FDA for the approval of a new manufacturing facility. Upon approval by the FDA, the facility will be permitted to manufacture Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP (Strontium-89) in accordance with cGMP.

Strontium-89 is a non-opioid injectable radiopharmaceutical to relieve cancer bone pain in patients with painful skeletal metastases. In the body, strontium acts similar to calcium, selectively localizing in bone and is preferentially taken up in osteoblastic lesions. The unabsorbed isotope clears rapidly from the blood and is excreted in the urine the first 2 to 3 days following injection. Uptake of Strontium-89 occurs preferentially in sites of active osteogenesis; thus bone tumors and areas of metastatic involvement (blastic lesions) can accumulate significantly greater concentrations of Strontium-89 than surrounding normal bone.

Strontium-89 is a pure beta emitter, and selectively irradiates sites of primary and metastatic bone involvement with minimal irradiation of soft tissues distant from bone lesions. The presence of bone metastases should be confirmed prior to therapy. When blastic osseous metastases are present, significantly enhanced localization of the radiopharmaceutical will occur with corresponding higher doses to the metastases compared with normal bones and other organs. Although responses can vary, pain relief typically begins 7 to 20 days after injection and lasts for four months or more.

About Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP
INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Strontium Chloride Sr-89 Injection USP, is indicated for the relief of bone pain in patients with painful skeletal metastases. The presence of bone metastases should be confirmed prior to therapy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known.

WARNINGS: Use of Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP in patients with evidence of seriously compromised bone marrow from previous therapy or disease infiltration is not recommended unless the potential benefit of the treatment outweighs its risks. Bone marrow toxicity is to be expected following the administration of Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP, particularly white blood cells and platelets. The extent of toxicity is variable. It is recommended that the patient’s peripheral blood cell counts be monitored at least once every other week. Typically, platelets will be depressed by about 30% compared to pre-administration levels. The nadir of platelet depression in most patients is found between 12 and 16 weeks following administration of Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP. White blood cells are usually depressed to a varying extent compared to pre-administration levels. Thereafter, recovery occurs slowly, typically reaching pre-administration levels six months after treatment unless the patient's disease or additional therapy intervenes. In considering repeat administration of Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP, the patient’s hematologic response to the initial dose, current platelet level and other evidence of marrow depletion should be carefully evaluated. Verification of dose and patient identification is necessary prior to administration because Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection USP delivers a relatively high dose of radioactivity.

Q Biomed Inc. Signs Exclusive Option Agreement With Washington University in St. Louis for a Novel Companion Biomarker for Monitoring Glaucoma
 

Potential Companion Diagnostic Compliments MAN-01 Pipeline Glaucoma Drug

New York, NY–(February 8, 2018)– Q BioMed Inc (OTCQB: QBIO) is pleased to announce an exclusive option agreement with Washington University in St. Louis. Under the agreement granting the exclusive right to license the technology, Q BioMed will evaluate the feasibility and usability of GDF-15, a novel biomarker for monitoring glaucoma, as a companion diagnostic to the MAN-01 small molecule currently being optimized for the topical treatment of glaucoma.

"The ophthalmology in general and glaucoma sector specifically are currently in an active consolidation and business development cycle. Having access to a truly innovative technology that compliments ours as a companion diagnostic could greatly enhance the value of the Mannin Research MAN-01 technology. We are excited to evaluate this technology and look forward to a new collaborative partnership with a leading institution like Washington University School of Medicine," said Denis Corin, CEO of Q BioMed, Inc.

Glaucoma is one of the leading cause of blindness worldwide, estimated to affect nearly 100 million people by 2020. The disease is linked to the buildup of pressure within the eye. Such intra-ocular pressure can damage the optic nerve. If the damage progresses, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Progression of glaucoma is typically monitored through a visual field test, but there has not been a reliable way to measure which patients have a high risk of rapid vision loss.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a marker of damage to cells in the eye that potentially could be used to monitor progression of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) superfamily and was recently identified as a promising biomarker for glaucoma.

The researchers discovered GDF15 to be a biomarker for glaucoma using an array analysis, which identified chemokines, growth factors, TGF-beta family members and other ligands whose expression increased in the optic nerve crush model of glaucoma but not in endotoxin-induced uveitis or light-induced retinal degeneration models. They also validated GDF15 in both rat models of glaucoma and in patients, showing that its expression correlates with disease severity. Overall, GDF15 represents an attractive biomarker for glaucoma with distinct advantages (i.e., early detection) over conventional clinical tests and has the potential to be a first-in-class diagnostic test. The researchers' findings were published online May 4, 2017 in the journal JCI Insight.
