MTX110 Phase I Trial Results in DIPG
Preclinical Efficacy Data in Glioblastoma
at 2020 Annual SNO Conference
Midatech Pharma PLC (AIM: MTPH.L; Nasdaq:
MTP), an R&D biotechnology company focused on improving the bio-delivery and biodistribution of medicines, is pleased to note
that the latest research on MTX110 was presented by its collaborators at the recent annual meeting of the Society of Neuro-Oncology
(SNO2020 Virtual Conference). Links to the Abstracts and Posters are provided below:

Commenting, Steve Damment, EVP R&D
of Midatech, said: "These presentations provide further information on the encouraging Phase I DIPG trial results recently
announced by Midatech on 19 October 2020, and preclinical efficacy data supporting the potential utility of MTX110 for the significantly
larger adult glioblastoma indication."
MTX110 is a water-soluble
form of panobinostat free base, achieved through complexation with hydroxypropyl- -cyclodextrin (HPBCD), that enables convection-enhanced
delivery (CED) at potentially chemotherapeutic doses directly to the site of the tumour. Panobinostat is a hydroxamic acid and
acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDAC inhibitor). The currently available oral formulation
of panobinostat lactate (Farydak ) is not suitable for treatment of brain cancers owing to poor blood-brain barrier penetration
and inadequate brain drug concentrations. Based on favourable translational science data, MTX110 is being evaluated
clinically as a treatment for DIPG (NCT03566199, NCT04264143) and recurrent medulloblastoma (NCT04315064), and preclinically for
treatment of glioblastoma (SNO 2020 Abstract TMOD-27). MTX110 is delivered directly into and around the patient's tumour via a
catheter system (e.g. CED or fourth ventricle infusions) to bypass the blood-brain barrier. This technique exposes the tumour to
very high drug concentrations while simultaneously minimising systemic drug levels and the potential for toxicity and other side
effects. Panobinostat has demonstrated high potency against DIPG tumour cells in in vitro and in vivo models, and
in a key study it was the most promising of 83 anticancer agents tested in 14 patient-derived DIPG cell lines (Grasso et al, 2015.
Nature Medicine 21(6), 555-559).

medicines. The Company combines approved and development medications with its proprietary and innovative drug delivery technologies
to provide compelling products that have the potential to powerfully impact the lives of patients.
The Company has developed three in-house
technology platforms, each with its own unique mechanism to improve delivery of medications to sites of disease. All of the Company's
technologies have successfully entered human use in the clinic, providing important validation of the potential for each platform:
The platform nature of the technologies
offers the potential to develop multiple drug assets rather than being reliant on a limited number of programmes. Midatech's
technologies are supported by 36 patent families including 120 granted patents and an additional 70 patent applications. Midatech's
headquarters and R&D facility is in Cardiff, UK. For more information please visit www.midatechpharma.com.
