Australian life sciences company QBiotics outlined the latest clinical developments in its cancer compound, EBC-46, to an audience of veterinary cancer experts last week.
Speaking at The World Veterinary Cancer Congress in Brazil, QBiotics CEO Dr Victoria Gordon and Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Stewart Lowden showcased the latest clinical research results from a range of studies. The trials underpin the efficacy of EBC-46 as an intratumoral treatment for cutaneous and subcutaneous mast cell tumours and soft tissue sarcomas in dogs.
EBC-46 is a natural product isolated from the seed of Australian rainforest shrub Fontainea picrosperma. A ready-to-use injectable solution, the drug works by initiating tumour necrosis directly and by tumour blood vessel destruction, followed by rapid wound healing.
“EBC-46 is a signalling molecule which turns on the animal’s own immune system to destroy the tumour,” explained Dr Gordon. “It also has the advantage of being easy to administer, causes minimal trauma to the animals during treatment and has no significant negative side effects.
“Tumour destruction is rapid [and] wounds heal without the need for intervention, such as antibiotics and lotions, and with minimal scarring.”

In their place: dynamic, time-of-use pricing that changes depending on when power is consumed. Electricity is now cheapest when solar floods the grid in the middle of the day — and […]
500 Million Episodes, Limited Treatment: How Patrys is Bridging the Gap in an Underserved Market
In the clinical vocabulary of the Intensive Care Unit, there is perhaps no word that carries as much quiet dread as delirium. It is a “chemical storm” of the brain—an acute dysfunction where the delicate balance between calming and activating signals is scrambled. For the patient, it can be a waking nightmare of hallucinations and […]
