  • Anti-midkine antibodies reduce tumour growth and spread
  • Anti-angiogenic mechanism of action also evident
  • Final studies in the programme to determine Cellmid’s clinical direction

SYDNEY, Thursday, 03 October 2013: Cellmid Limited (ASX: CDY) is pleased to advise that it has now completed its several cancer xenograft efficacy and mechanism of action studies using the company’s lead anti-midkine (MK) antibody with compelling results.

The MK antibody treatment slowed primary tumour growth, reduced cancer spread (metastasis) and slowed the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) in different tumour types. These findings complete the Company’s extensive preclinical programme to determine clinical direction for its MK antibodies.

The findings of the current studies have been consistent with the results published recently by an independent research group (Hao, et al. Inhibition of the Growth Factor MDK/Midkine by a Novel Small Molecule Compound to Treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (2013) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23976985)and add to the growing evidence of midkine’s importance in cancer.
