NBM-BMX

NBM-BMX is a new chemical entity developed by NatureWise Biotech & Medicals Corporation. It is the first specific histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitor in the world that has undergone clinical trials in humans. The development of isoform-selective HDAC inhibitors is becoming important in recent years due to the side effects observed in non-selective HDAC inhibitors.

NBM-BMX exhibited tumor inhibitory activity against many cancers, especially those with high HDAC8 protein expression. NatureWise owns the global rights and patents to NBM-BMX. Two Phase 1 clinical trials have been completed in both the USA and Taiwan with good safety and significant efficacy results. The phase Ib/II clinical trials for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme begins in 2023.

NBM-BMX received USFDA approval to proceed Phase Ib/II clinical trial in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

NatureWise’s new drug, NBM-BMX, received USFDA approval on January 4th, 2023 to proceed in Phase Ib/II clinical trials in newly diagnosed GBM. Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most aggressive, invasive, and deadly malignancies. More than 60% of newly diagnosed GBM patients do not respond to standard treatment. Our studies demonstrated that NBM-BMX is a new therapeutic approach with the potential for addressing this need for safer, more effective treatment options for GBM.
