Biodexa Pharmaceuticals intention to acquire Varian Biopharmaceuticals
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC , a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of products aimed at primary and metastatic cancers of the brain is pleased to announce that it has signed non-binding letter of intent to potentially acquire Varian Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a private US precision oncology company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.
In recent communications, Biodexa has referenced a shift in strategy from a drug delivery company to a therapeutics company. Currently, the Company’s only clinical asset is MTX 110 which is being developed for three intractable rare and orphan brain cancers. The Company’s intention is to add to, and diversify, its development pipeline with a continued focus on rare and orphan products and/or oncology therapeutics and VarianBio represents the first of such opportunity.
