RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bantam Pharmaceutical, a drug discovery and development company targeting selective modulation of mitochondrial dynamics in cancer, announced that new data on the mechanism of action of its lead clinical candidate BTM-3566 will be presented at the Third AACR International Meeting - Advances in Malignant Lymphoma taking place on the 23-26 June in Boston.
The studies evaluated the activity of BTM-3566 in tumor lines in vitro and in vivo while further elucidating the mechanism of action.
A PDF of the poster will be available on the Bantam website following the conference.
Michael Stocum, CEO of Bantam Pharmaceutical, commented: "Our data demonstrate exceptional single-agent activity in patient derived xenograft models of difficult-to-treat lymphomas. We are excited to bring this novel mechanism of action to the clinic in the coming months and explore its value as a treatment for relapsed and refractory DLBCL."

About BTM-3566
BTM-3566 is an orally-available novel small molecule compound with broad anti-cancer activity in hematologic and solid tumors, initially focused on Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphomas (DLBCL). BTM-3566's anti-cancer mechanism of action is unique and differentiated from other therapeutics, disrupting mitochondrial function in tumor cells to induce apoptosis (cell death). An IND application for BTM-3566 in B-cell malignancies is being completed with plans to initiate First in Human trials in lymphoma patients in the fall of 2022.
