NORTH PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2023 / Nascent Biotech, Inc. (OTC:NBIO) ("Nascent Biotech", "Nascent", or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology Company pioneering the development of monoclonal antibodies targeting treatment of various cancers and viral infections, is pleased to announce the Company has been issued a "Method-of-Use" patent from the Japanese Patent Office ("JPO") for its primary asset, Pritumumab ("PTB"). Specifically, the patent approval is related to PTB's capacity to cross through the Blood-Brain Barrier ("BBB").
The patent allowance recognizes PTB's ability to act as a monotherapy, as well as its potential to act as a conjugate, bringing other therapies across the BBB.
In basic terms, the blood-brain barrier is a semipermeable border of endothelial cells that act as a filtering mechanism for the capillaries that carry blood to the brain and spinal cord tissue, blocking the passage of certain substances from the circulatory system into the brain.
Nascent's senior management recognizes this patent approval as a significant event elevating the Company's value proposition. The approval strengthens the Company's intellectual property position, both in general and by providing protection that extends internationally.
"This patent further validates the value of PTB as a unique biotechnology asset," remarked Nascent CEO, Sean Carrick. "It also extends our IP footprint internationally, opening up new market potential, expanding the upside value proposition of PTB commercially. We look forward to providing further highlights and updates related to this as well as our progress in Phase 2 clinical research."
