CNS Pharmaceuticals Highlights New Balancing Act Segment on Glioblastoma Airing on Lifetime TV

HOUSTON, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CNSP ("CNS" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system, today highlighted a new segment of "Behind the Mystery" focused on glioblastoma from The Balancing Act airing on Lifetime TV. The segment, live this morning, follows the unique story of a glioblastoma patient and clinical insights regarding the rare and difficult-to-treat disease from Dr. Sigmund Hsu, a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of CNS Pharmaceuticals. A re-airing of the segment is planned for October 23, 2020.

"It is encouraging to see the Balancing Act feature bring awareness to such a devastating disease. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive primary brain cancers in adults, with approximately 13,000 new patients diagnosed each year in the U.S.—the highest diagnosis rate of all malignant brain tumors. At CNS, we are committed to our development efforts in glioblastoma," said John Climaco, CEO of CNS Pharmaceuticals.

About CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

CNS Pharmaceuticals is developing novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.  Its lead drug candidate, berubicin, has been studied in a completed Phase 1 clinical trial in malignant brain tumors.  By the end of 2020, CNS expects to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial of berubicin for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the U.S., while a sub-licensee partner undertakes a Phase 2 trial in adults and a first-ever Phase 1 trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland.  Its second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent that has shown in preclinical studies that it is 500 times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent daunorubicin in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
