Reverse takeover of Amur Minerals: an exciting transformation into drug delivery
Episode 2601, May 16, 03:39 PM
CEO Andrew Webb of Extruded Pharmaceuticals discusses Amur Minerals reverse takeover, which leads to an exciting transformation into drug delivery.
Amur is currently classified as an AIM Rule 15 cash shell. It proposes to acquire 100 per cent. of EPL by way of an RTO under AIM Rule 14. Amur has called a general meeting of the Company in order to approve the proposed RTO, approve a change of name to CRISM Therapeutics, and approve a share consolidation of 1 new ordinary share for every 160 existing ordinary shares.
EPL is a UK-based pharmaceutical company which was founded in March 2016. EPL has developed an innovative drug delivery technology to improve the clinical performance of cancer treatments for solid tumours through the local delivery of chemotherapy drugs.
ChemoSeed®, EPL's lead product, can be implanted directly into the tumour or the resection margin following the removal of a tumour. This ensures that therapeutic concentrations of chemotherapy drugs reach the deep-seated tumour tissue or cover the entire resection margin. In the case of treating high grade glioma, ChemoSeeds can be implanted during surgery thereby bypassing the blood brain barrier, which prevents other treatments from being able to reach the tumour and be effective.
ChemoSeed addresses a significant, unmet medical need in the treatment of glioblastoma and high grade glioma. There are no current cures and present treatments merely seek to simply extend life, often by just a few months, with serious adverse side effects.
Each ChemoSeed consist of a chemotherapeutic agent (irinotecan) and a bioresorbable polymer, both of which have been previously administered to the brain with no toxicity issues. This, combined with the target markets for ChemoSeed being unmet medical needs, means EPL could potentially receive conditional marketing authorisation in the UK on the back of positive Phase II clinical trial data. This authorisation could be received as early as 2028, therefore reducing the time and cost to commercialisation of irinotecan loaded ChemoSeeds for glioblastoma and high-grade glioma treatment.
