Oncology Pharma, Inc. and Regen BioPharma, Inc. Announce Intent to Jointly Fast Track Development of Modified mRNA anti-Cancer Vaccine

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2022 / Oncology Pharma, Inc. ("The Company") (OTC PINK:ONPH) and Regen BioPharma, Inc. (OTC PINK:RGBP) and (OTC PINK:RGBPP): announced that they intend to work jointly to fast track the development of therapeutic uses related to treatment in humans with pancreatic cancer of Regen's patented ANTIGEN SPECIFIC MRNA CELLULAR CANCER VACCINES ("MRNA Vaccines").

In April of 2021 ONPH was granted an exclusive right and license for the development and commercialization of the MRNA Vaccines for the treatment in humans of pancreatic cancer.

The current intent is that IND ("Investigational New Drug Application") enabling studies are to be commenced and completed with Regen providing the scientific expertise, laboratory access and modified mRNA and cellular manufacturing needed to complete the studies and ONPH providing the required financing.

This patented technology (patent issued in Aug, 2021) is a cellular vaccine that uses a modified mRNA molecule expressing peptides of Survivin which are exposed to dendritic cells. These dendritic cells are then matured and infused into the cancer patient's circulation where they are expected to hone in on the cancer and destroy it. There are currently several clinical trials ongoing around the world using Survivin as a vaccine for multiple different cancers which further supports this approach.

"I am very excited to get our newly patented modified mRNA technology advanced to the point whereby an IND can be submitted to the FDA," says David Koos, CEO and Chairman of Regen. "I expect that once our experimental protocols are set up, the path to a cleared IND from the FDA will be straightforward."

"Due to the COVID pandemic, the FDA now understands the excellent safety profile of modified mRNA technology," says the CEO of ONPH. "We believe this technology which targets Survivin and uses the patient's own immune system to kill their tumors will have the same success in treating pancreatic cancer that the CAR-T cell approach is having in liquid tumors."

The initiation and completion of the abovementioned is contingent upon several factors including, but not limited to, the execution of one or more mutually acceptable definitive agreements between the parties and securing of adequate financing. Although the parties are confident that any and all contingencies can be satisfied no assurance can be given that any such agreements shall be executed or, if executed, shall not contain terms and conditions materially different from the terms and conditions currently contemplated or that adequate financing can be secured.
