LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.
Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIXT), is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on new targets for cancer drug development
and developing and commercializing cancer therapies. Major drivers of cancer are defects in the switches that turn the biochemical pathways
in cells on or off. Most cancer research over the past 30 years has focused on the "on" switches because the "off"
switches, especially the master "off" switch protein phosphatase (PP2A), were believed to cause intolerable toxicity in patients.
LIXTE has achieved a breakthrough with its novel, first-in-class lead clinical compound and PP2A inhibitor, LB-100, demonstrating that
LB-100 is readily tolerated in cancer patients at doses associated with anti-cancer activity. Based on extensive published preclinical
data (see www.lixte.com), LB-100 has the potential to significantly improve outcomes for patients undergoing various chemotherapies
or immunotherapies. LIXTE's new approach has no known competitors and is covered by a comprehensive patent portfolio. Initial proof-of-concept
clinical trials are in progress.
