[{"type":"text","content":"Oncology Pharma Inc. (OTCPK:ONPH) is pleased to announce further information from it's Licensor, Kalos Therapeutics "Kalos"PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2020 / Kalos Therapeutics announced its latest progress in its efforts to discover and develop a novel multi-drug cocktail of investigational peptide KTH-222 and immune-stimulating agents that can be administered as prophylaxis before exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus or as a treatment for immune-compromised cancer patients already infected. The key here will be an opportunity for treating asymptomatic patients. Kalos has identified numerous immune-stimulating agents and will target two based on safety and efficacy, as well as other desirable attributes, to begin development.George Colberg, CEO of Kalos Therapeutics, said, "Through our network of patients and key opinion leaders we are learning that many patients, that may have a weak immune-system, are reluctant to venture out for the continuation of therapies. Using a multi-drug approach to protect the most vulnerable cancer patients with cardiovascular issues and/or weakened immune-system is an urgent unmet need that is a priority for Kalos Therapeutics." He added, "KTH-222 as a monotherapy and/or in combination with FDA- approved anti-viral therapies or as compassionate drugs will potentially benefit cancer patients at risk including those not yet demonstrating symptoms."In order to meet the pressing public health need, Kalos is in discussion with BARDA for funding opportunities through BAA and Corona Watch Meeting, collaborative opportunities, to hone strategies, and align with Government priorities to address this unmet need.Oncology Pharma and Kalos Therapeutics were recently mentioned in the BioWorld website: https://www.bioworld.com/articles/434359-week-in-review-for-april-6-10-2020ABOUT ONCOLOGY PHARMA, INC.Oncology Pharma, Inc.
