QSAM Biosciences (OTCQB: QSAM), a company developing next-generation therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, including Samarium-153-DOTMP, or CycloSam(R), for the treatment of bone cancer and other diseases, announced been “allowed” a key patent by the European Patent Office (“EPO”). According to the announcement, the patent protects the use of “lower specific activity” Samarium-153 in conjunction with the treatment of bone cancer in children and adults. The company noted that the new patent in Europe covers the “high purity therapeutic bone agents” technology that is licensed worldwide exclusively to QSAM. The process enables streamlined manufacturing, lower costs and logistical advantages for the company, along with the significant reduction of long-lived impurities, namely Europium-154, which show potential for higher and multiple dosing regimens in the treatment of different types of bone cancer, including those that are the focus of QSAM’s current FDA-cleared phase 1 clinical trial. “We believe that repeated dose regimens of CycloSam may be the key to being able to successfully treat bone tumors, and we are continuing to advance our clinical trials program to generate data toward that goal,” said QSAM Biosciences DEO and cofounder Douglas R. Baum in the press release. “This allowance by the EPO marks our second patent in Europe, and we expect to register the patent in multiple individual countries in the EU over the following few weeks, thereby expanding our already established and robust patent estate. More so, this additional IP protection broadens our potential commercial market for what we believe may eventually be a breakthrough therapy for both primary and secondary forms of bone cancer.”

About QSAM Biosciences Inc.

QSAM Biosciences is developing next-generation nuclear medicines for the treatment of cancer and related diseases. QSAM’s initial technology, CycloSam (Samarium-153 DOTMP), is a clinical-stage, bone-targeting radiopharmaceutical developed by IsoTherapeutics Group LLC, pioneers in the nuclear medicine space that also developed the FDA-approved Quadramet(R) (Samarium-153 EDTMP) radiopharmaceutical product. The QSAM team has designed the CycloSam product with the goal of overcoming the limitations of the Quadramet(R) (Samarium-153 EDTMP) product and potentially expand the FDA-approved indications. QSAM is led by an experienced executive team and board of directors that have completed numerous FDA approvals and multiple successful biotech exits. CycloSam has demonstrated preliminary safety and efficacy in animal studies and a single-patient, FDA-cleared human trial performed in 2020 at the Cleveland Clinic. This nuclear technology uses low specific activity Samarium-153 (resulting in far less undesirable europium impurity) and DOTMP, a chelator believed to reduce or eliminate off-target migration and targets sites of high bone turnover, making it, in management’s opinion, an ideal agent to treat primary and secondary bone cancers. Since CycloSam delivers targeted radiation selectively to the skeletal system, it is also believed to be a great potential candidate for future effectiveness in clinical trials in bone marrow ablation as preconditioning for bone marrow transplantation as well as its future clinical trials in procedures to reduce external beam radiation to bone tumors. This multipatented drug candidate utilizes a radioisotope previously approved by the FDA, combined with a novel targeting chelant, DOTMP, that has demonstrated preliminary increased efficacy and decreased side effects in animal models and veterinary treatment of bone cancer in dogs. Further, CycloSam utilizes a streamlined, just-in-time manufacturing process that is already in place. Given these factors, management believes there is a strong pathway to commercialization for CycloSam. For more information about the company, please visit www.QSAMBio.com
