The clinical study, which is expected to begin enrolling patients in early 2026, with preliminary results expected by the end of the year, is an early feasibility clinical investigation designed to evaluate safety, usability and feasibility of YntraDose administration in patients with unresectable LA-PDAC which remains a significant health concern with limited effective treatment options and a pressing unmet medical need. YntraDose represents an innovative locoregional radiotherapy, utilizing Yttrium-90
microspheres embedded in a quickly polymerizing matrix to deliver targeted radiation directly to solid tumours.

This approach has been designed with the aim to maximize therapeutic efficacy while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue, offering new hope for patients facing unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer – one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat malignancies. "As an Italian company, deeply committed to advancing cancer care, we are honoured to announce that the Italian Health Authorities have approved our clinical study in Italy, which will be conducted at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome.

"This achievement marks a fundamental step in our commitment to innovation in oncology and demonstrates the trust of Italian institutions in our technology and the therapeutic potential of YntraDose for patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer" said Alexis Peyroles, CEO of BetaGlue Therapeutics. "We are grateful for the support of the Italian institutions and look forward to collaborating with the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS in Rome bringing new hope to patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer, one of the most challenging diseases worldwide. Looking ahead, we are actively planning to expand our clinical trials internationally, with the goal of making YntraDose available to patients in more countries and addressing unmet needs in cancer care worldwide."

On December 1, 2025 Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPCB) ("Propanc" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for recurrent and metastatic cancer, reported that it has submitted a request for a foreign filing license from Spain for two provisional patents detailing new methods to treat resistant cancer and fibrosis. The patents will be filed with IP Australia under Propanc Pty Ltd, the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary based in Melbourne, Australia. These discoveries stem from Propanc’s Joint Research and Drug Discovery program with the Universities of Jaén and Granada in Spain and are expected to be filed subsequently in key global jurisdictions.

The first provisional patent covers methods for treating cancers that have developed resistance to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Despite advancements in cancer therapies, global mortality rates remain high, and strategies to prevent recurrence are urgently needed. Treatment failure frequently occurs due to the emergence of multiple malignancies and resistance to standard therapies, underscoring the need for novel approaches.

The second provisional patent relates to compositions, methods, uses, and kits for the treatment of fibrosis, particularly organ fibrosis. Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive accumulation of scar tissue due to over-deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, leading to stiffening, loss of function, and structural disruption of affected tissues. This maladaptive response can result from chronic injury or persistent inflammation and can impact nearly any organ system, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, and heart—contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Causes may include chronic inflammation, autoimmune and allergic responses, chemical insults, radiation, and tissue damage. For example, life expectancy following myocardial infarction-related scarring ranges from 3 to 8 years (ages 65–74), and for lung fibrosis patients is typically 3 to 5 years.

This fibrosis-related patent represents a world-first in Propanc’s intellectual property portfolio by describing the use of the Company’s lead product candidate, PRP—its proenzyme therapy—for chronic diseases beyond cancer. The biological pathways modulated by PRP to alter cancer cell behavior may also be applicable to conditions such as fibrosis. In particular, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a biological process central to embryogenesis and wound healing, plays a critical role in both tumor progression and tissue repair, making it a promising therapeutic target.

"The submission of these two patents represents a significant turning point for Propanc and the commercial potential of PRP for treating chronic diseases such as cancer and fibrosis," said James Nathanielsz, Propanc’s Chief Executive Officer. "Our planned Phase 1b, First-In-Human study in 2026 will define the target therapeutic dose of PRP, enabling us to explore this unique proenzyme therapy across multiple disease conditions in Phase 2 proof-of-concept studies. This work will be instrumental in establishing PRP as a novel therapeutic approach that encourages cells to differentiate toward normal behavior—without the cytotoxic effects associated with many standard treatments. We are tremendously excited by these developments."

About LM
Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) are a rare but severe complication of advanced cancer, affecting the fluid-lined structures of the central nervous system. LM occurs in approximately 5% of patients with metastatic cancer, with breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma being the most common sources. Median survival is typically 2-6 months, and effective treatment options are limited, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapies.

About REYOBIQ (rhenium Re186 obisbemeda)
REYOBIQ (rhenium Re186 obisbemeda) is a novel injectable radiotherapy specifically formulated to deliver direct targeted high dose radiation in CNS tumors in a safe, effective, and convenient manner to optimize patient outcomes. REYOBIQ has the potential to reduce off target risks and improve outcomes for CNS cancer patients, versus currently approved therapies, with a more targeted and potent radiation dose. Rhenium-186 is an ideal radioisotope for CNS therapeutic applications due to its short half-life, beta energy for destroying cancerous tissue, and gamma energy for real-time imaging. REYOBIQ is being evaluated for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma, leptomeningeal metastases, and pediatric brain cancer in the ReSPECT-GBM, ReSPECT-LM, and ReSPECT-PBC clinical trials. ReSPECT-GBM is supported by an award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and ReSPECT-LM is funded by a three-year $17.6M grant by the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). The Company’s ReSPECT-PBC clinical trial for pediatric brain cancer is supported by a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program.
