CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced it has completed the final GMP manufacturing run of its lead candidate Berubicin, which it acquired from Reata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Reata), and that the GMP material has met all specifications. Samples of the lyophilized drug product were shipped to Intertek Pharmaceutical Services (Intertek), for final GMP testing. The pilot recrystallization run met all specifications and the initial GMP run passed all specifications; however, it was discovered that one of the standard 10 metals in Heavy Metals Test, bismuth, was not officially validated for that assay. This did not prevent the formulation of the final drug product. Subsequently, heavy metals including bismuth were again tested and met all specifications. Additionally, the Company is continuing large scale production of Berubicin through NCK A/S. The Company intends to utilize this supply of Berubicin for its potential upcoming Phase II clinical trial in Glioblastoma.
