BALTIMORE, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm specializing in the small cap and microcap sectors, announced today that it has issued a new article on PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (OTCQB – PMCB), a publicly traded, clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing and preparing treatments for cancer and diabetes. To view the sponsored research article, along with disclosures and disclaimers, or to download it in its entirety, please visit www.GoldmanResearch.com.

In the article, analyst Rob Goldman discusses how the Company’s approach to brain cancer by using Cannabinoids may be its most overlooked and most exciting offering.

“Ever since a 60 Minutes report on a novel, if not dangerous, approach to treating brain cancer was recently aired on CBS, the topic of brain cancer treatment has risen to the forefront of many in the oncology and scientific communities. Results have ranged from extraordinary to poor, but the concept of treating this deadly disease via out-of-the-box methods clearly has merit, as does the one promoted by PharmaCyte Biotech”.

Goldman noted that, “The Company seeks to combine its Cell-in-a-Box® cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology with constituents of Cannabis, known as cannabinoids, or cannabinoid-like compounds to develop unique treatments for difficult-to-treat and deadly forms of cancer, such as brain cancer.  Some cannabinoids are prodrugs that must be converted into their cancer-killing form.  These prodrugs will be used with the Cell-in-a-Box® technology in ways that optimize their anticancer properties while minimizing or even eliminating adverse side effects normally occurring with chemotherapy. This approach mirrors the Company’s approach to pancreatic cancer, whereby results have proven very effective, thus far.”

“In the laboratory, cannabinoids have shown effectiveness against glioma (a type of brain cancer),  and in mice, cannabinoids reduced tumor growth and spreading and were also shown to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels required for tumor growth.  In 2006, in a small, early-phase clinical trial, THC was shown to be beneficial for patients in treating glioblastoma multiforme, a severe and deadly type of brain cancer, when safe doses were used.  Given that cannabinoids have proven, in early testing, to break through the blood brain barrier, the use of cannabinoids in combination with PharmaCyte Biotech’s Cell-in-a-Box® could emerge as the secret weapon to treat brain cancer.”

“To that end, In May 2014 PharmaCyte Biotech entered into a research agreement with the University of Northern Colorado to perform initial research that will be necessary for the development of cannabinoid-based treatments for serious cancers.  The university is working to identify a cell type capable of converting cannabinoid-like prodrugs into their cancer-killing forms.  Once a satisfactory cell type is identified, the cells will be encapsulated using the Cell-in-a-Box® technology for use in combination with one or more cannabinoid prodrugs.”
