Company

Company overview

Propanc Biopharma is developing PRP for solid tumors, with a focus on pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancer. PRP uses proenzymes—the inactive precursors of enzymes. The company organizes and funds development, relying mainly on outside researchers and service providers to carry out the work. No product has been commercialized, and it has no revenue.

The company plans to take PRP through Phase IIa clinical trials and then seek a licensing partner to finish development, obtain regulatory approval and market the drug. That partner could pay Propanc for development milestones and royalties on future sales. This path depends on clinical results attracting a partner and on regulators finding the treatment safe and effective; commercial success also depends on insurance coverage and reimbursement.

For now, cash comes primarily from issuing shares and convertible securities rather than customers. Continued financing is needed to keep operations and research going.

Propanc’s prospects hinge on funding and validating PRP before finding a partner to complete development and bring it to market, with the universities of Jaén and Granada as important research partners.

  • PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. is developing a pancreatic-cancer treatment that competes with one of the main intended uses of Propanc’s PRP, using live cells enclosed in capsules through its Cell-in-a-Box technology. Watch its development for locally advanced pancreatic cancer in patients whose tumors no longer respond to prior treatment.

  • Purple Biotech Ltd.’s CM24 pancreatic-cancer program overlaps with Propanc’s intended use for PRP, and both companies need funding or partners to advance development. Watch whether Purple secures the backing to move CM24 forward.

  • Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Common is developing improved cancer-drug regimens, including treatments applicable to colorectal cancer, putting it in part of the market Propanc intends to serve with PRP.

  • PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc overlaps with part of Propanc’s intended PRP patient population through rezatapopt, which it is developing for cancers with the p53 Y220C mutation, including ovarian cancer.

  • Monopar Therapeutics Inc. is developing drugs that deliver radiation to advanced solid tumors expressing uPAR, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers that overlap with Propanc’s intended PRP uses. Its MNPR-101 cancer program is the development to watch for that overlap.
