Cellceutix's Drug Discovery is a Major Leap Forward in the Fight Against Cancer

Cellceutix Corporation reports that the drug delivery devices for their planned clinical trials on Kevetrin™, the Company's revolutionary compound for the treatment of cancer, are undergoing stability studies.

The research centers conducting the human trials delivered their devices to Cellceutix which were then sent to a FDA-approved facility for testing. Cellceutix expects the testing to be complete this week.

Cellceutix Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Krishna Menon said, "Each research center has its own drug delivery device that must be tested with a new drug to ensure stability, according to FDA protocol."

Dr. Menon continued, "It has been an extremely gratifying process working with Kevetrin™ and we are close to beginning the process of validating our contentions about the potency of our drug. The drug in studies to date has proven to be a major leap forward in the fight against cancer. We have reviewed our research on Kevetrin™ with the hospital, major pharmaceutical companies and some of the brightest minds in oncology today with very encouraging responses. As professionals, we are expected to remain subdued, but, honestly, it is a bit difficult as Kevetrin™ is showing characteristics that could make it one of the most innovative drugs in cancer research."

"What Cellceutix is doing with Kevetrin™ can lead to a groundbreaking moment in the world of oncology," commented Cellceutix Scientific Advisor Dr. Emil Frei III, M.D.

Dr. Frei continued, "In my career, including my tenure as Chief of Medicine at National Cancer Institute, I have seen countless companies throughout the world striving to bridge the gap between damaged or mutated p53 and carcinomas with little to no success. p53 can hold a vital key to the next generation of chemotherapy. Cellceutix's discovery of Kevetrin™, which has been shown to reactivate p53 in a non-genotoxic manner, is a very promising advance in the fight against cancer."
