A replay of the webcast will be available on the Company's website for 12 months following the conference. During the corporate presentation and in one-on-one and small group investor meetings, Dr. Kovach will discuss the Company’s proprietary clinical stage compound LB-100, a first in-class protein phosphatase (PP2A) inhibitor that increases the anti-tumor activity of standard chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy without increasing toxicity. LB-100 is initially being evaluated in three clinical treatment studies (phase 1b/2 for Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma, and Small Cell Lung Cancer and in a phase 0 (human pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetic study) in recurrent gliomas. LB-100 is also being tested for potential benefit in a rodent model of Angelman Syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder. There are no direct competitors of LB-100 known to Lixte in the clinic at present. Dr. Kovach commented, “LB-100 causes cancer cells, injured by chemo or radiotherapy, to continue to replicate before repairing their injuries, leading to more efficient cancer cell killing by many standard anti-cancer regimens. If the improvement of standard treatments for diverse cancers by LB-100 is documented in the clinic, our first-in-class compound will be a game-changing advance in cancer therapy worldwide.” About Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.
