Glioblastomas are tumors that arise from astrocytes, which are star-shaped cells making up the supportive tissue of the brain.

These tumors are usually highly malignant (cancerous) because the cells reproduce quickly, and they are supported by a large network of

blood vessels.

Berubicin is an anthracycline, which is a class of drugs that are among the most powerful and extensively used chemotherapy

Based on limited clinical data, we believe Berubicin is the first anthracycline that appears to cross the blood brain barrier

in significant concentrations targeting brain cancer cells.

While our focus is currently on the development of Berubicin, we are also

in the process of attempting to secure intellectual property rights to additional compounds that we plan to develop into drugs to treat

CNS and other cancers.

this interim analysis and we can release the data during the third quarter of 2023.

Additional analyses that will be provided based on

This recommendation will review the number of

deaths on each arm to ensure that the overall survival of patients receiving Berubicin shows a statistically significant comparability

to or is even higher than those receiving Lomustine.

The median survival of patients receiving second-line treatment for glioblastoma

has historically been shown to be approximately 6 months.

We have historically used this 6 months as an estimate for the median time to

a 50% mortality rate.

Taking into account the recent rate of enrollment and the number of patients that can be adequately assessed for

their follow-up outcomes, we are anticipating that the DSMB will be able to perform this interim analysis and we can release the data

during the third quarter of 2023.

Additional analyses that will be provided based on this data will be comparisons of secondary endpoints,

including progression-free survival (PFS), response rates, and safety assessments.

Assuming data from the above-described study is positive

(and depending on the strength and quality of such data) at its completion we may seek an expedited pathway to approval to market Berubicin

from relevant regulatory authorities, we may look for a partner with which to conduct a Phase 3 study, or we may attempt to raise sufficient

capital to conduct such a study on our own.

The goal of these potential Phase 3 studies, should they be necessary, is to develop a body

of evidence to support a successful application with the FDA and/or other similar regulatory agencies around the world.

Should we obtain

approval from the FDA or other international regulatory agencies to market Berubicin, we will either partner with third parties to sell

and distribute it to physicians and patients, or we will develop our own sales force to do so.

We operate in a highly competitive segment of the pharmaceutical

market, which market is highly competitive as a whole.

We face competition from numerous sources including commercial pharmaceutical and
