ANTI-COLORECTAL CANCER TREATMENT
A PIONEERING ADVANCEMENT IN MICROBIOME-BASED THERAPEUTICS

PP-P8 Protein &
Drug Delivery System (DDS)
Developed from our patented strains, 'CBT-LR5 (Lactobacillus Rhamnosus CBT-LR5, KCTC 12202BP)' and 'CBT-SL4 (Pediococcus Pentosaceus CBT-SL4, KCTC 10297BP)', PP-P8 boasts a unique formulation capable of producing the anti-cancer protein 'P8' in significant quantities. Utilizing cutting-edge genetic engineering, P8 targets and inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells by binding to the GSK3β protein, a key regulator of cell cycle progression.
Furthermore, our research has demonstrated that PP-P8 effectively restores gut microbiome balance, a critical factor in colorectal cancer treatment, as evidenced by its publication in the esteemed international journal 'Microbiome'.

Phase I Clinical Trial
The clinical trial for the new colon cancer drug PP-P8 is being conducted in collaboration with Seoul National University Hospital. A total of 32 patients with metastatic colon cancer (rectal cancer) are being evaluated for PP-P8's tolerability, safety, and efficacy.
In the dose escalation phase (Part 1), the dose is gradually increased to assess safety, while in the dose expansion phase (Part 2), the appropriate dose is selected to explore efficacy.

With these groundbreaking findings, Cell Biotech is committed to expanding our drug development pipeline to address various medical needs, including diabetes and gastric cancer, using our probiotic drug delivery system and DNA recombinant probiotics.With the convenience of an oral probiotic drug delivery system, PP-P8 is poised to revolutionize cancer treatment by offering heightened efficacy while minimizing side effects.
