Propanc Biopharma Engages Boutique Advisory Firm to Identify Strategic Investment Opportunities

Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (OTC Pink: PPCB) (“Propanc” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel cancer treatments for patients suffering from recurring and metastatic cancer, today announced that a boutique advisory firm has been engaged to identify strategic investment opportunities primarily to fund the advancement of the Company’s lead product candidate, PRP, to the completion of the Company’s planned Phase I, First-In-Human study in advanced cancer patients suffering from solid tumors. Funds will also be utilized to advance the Company’s back up clinical candidate, Rec-PRP, a synthetic recombinant version of PRP, which will further enhance the potency and stability of the naturally derived proenzyme treatment. As part of the process, the opportunity to consider up-listing to a national US stock exchange will also be considered. The emerging boutique advisory firm currently has a $3B+ transaction history and access to a global network of investors the Company intends to fully utilize.

PRP, a combination of two proenzymes trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, is a novel, targeted therapy for the treatment and prevention of metastatic cancer. Scientific evidence has shown potent effects against cancer stem cells, inducing these cells to differentiate (transform) into a less malignant, or dormant state, thus rendering them benign. Cancer stems cells represent the final frontier, as they are responsible for metastasis and invasion, causing the cancer to return and spread. They also eventually become resistant to standard treatment options like chemotherapy, where PRP has shown to be effective against chemoresistant pancreatic cancer cells, where patients suffer from a high mortality rate.

"PRP represents an exciting and novel method to control the threat of resistant tumors, which, if left untreated, can ultimately lead to patient death," said James Nathanielsz, Propanc's Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, PRP targets cancer stem cells, but leaves healthy stem cells alone. This means it is less toxic than standard treatments. We believe PRP could become a welcome addition to the treatment process for many aggressive cancer types, like pancreatic and ovarian cancers, where patient prognosis is often poor when left diagnosed. Therefore, we are offering an attractive investment opportunity to become involved in the development of a novel, first-in-class cancer therapy that as we progress further down the clinical development pathway, we believe has the potential to become a highly sought after strategic asset to the oncology portfolio of a global pharmaceutical, biotech, or mid-tier specialty company, serious about treating this killer disease."
