Critical Outcome Gets Boost from FDA for New Cancer Treatment, COTI-2
http://www.biopharmadive.com/press-release/20150527-critical-outcome-gets-boost-from-fda-for-new-cancer-treatment-coti-2/
London, Ontario (May 27, 2015): Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. (“COTI” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: COT; OTCQB: COTQF), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted investigational new drug status (“IND”) for COTI-2, the Company’s small molecule activator of misfolded mutant p53 protein, in gynecological cancers.
“The grant of this IND marks the achievement of the second important milestone for COTI-2 in 2015 and builds on the Orphan Drug designation received for ovarian cancer from the FDA in June 2014,” said Dr. Wayne Danter, President and CEO. “During preclinical studies, COTI-2 with its novel mechanism of action demonstrated selective and potent anti-cancer p53-dependent activity in many cancers. We look forward to reproducing these encouraging results in a clinical setting and confirming that COTI-2 is a highly promising novel treatment option for women with gynecological cancers having p53 mutations.”
The Company plans to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial in the second half of calendar 2015 in partnership with the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The grant of this IND triggers the issuance of 715,720 common shares of the Company as final payment of contingent share consideration that arose on the acquisition of DDP Therapeutics in November 2007.

FDA Grants IND to Critical Outcome Technologies for COTI-2, the Company's Activator of Mutant p53 Protein
Company Finalizing Plans to Commence Clinical Trial for COTI-2 in the Second Half of 2015
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2023097.htm
LONDON, ON--(Marketwired - May 26, 2015) - Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. ("COTI" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: COT) (OTCQB: COTQF), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted investigational new drug status ("IND") for COTI-2, the Company's small molecule activator of misfolded mutant p53 protein, in gynecological cancers.
"The grant of this IND marks the achievement of the second important milestone for COTI-2 in 2015 and builds on the Orphan Drug designation received for ovarian cancer from the FDA in June 2014," said Dr. Wayne Danter, President and CEO.

About COTI-2
COTI-2 is a small molecule activator of misfolded mutant p53 protein approved for clinical development. Extensive studies have demonstrated COTI-2's ability to restore mutant p53 function and thus induce cancer cell death in many common p53 mutations. Mutations of the p53 gene are the most common genetic alterations in human cancers, occurring in a wide range of cancers, including ovarian, lung, colorectal, breast, liver, bladder and other cancers. COTI-2's specific protein target, low toxicity, combination effectiveness with standard agents, and potential for longer term outpatient therapy as an oral agent, supports a dramatic change in the treatment of susceptible cancers.

Critical Outcome Technologies Adds First European Patent to Growing Intellectual Property Protection for COTI-2
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2018405.htm
LONDON, ON--(Marketwired - May 11, 2015) - Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. ("COTI" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: COT)(OTCQB: COTQF) announced today that the European Patent Office has granted the Company European Patent No. 2121681 for its lead cancer drug candidate, COTI-2. This patent covers the composition of matter of COTI-2, the Company's small molecule activator of misfolded mutant p53 protein. Issuance of this European patent provides the Company with additional protection and licensing opportunities for the COTI-2 franchise in European markets.
"COTI-2's overall patent protection continues to strengthen as we prepare for our upcoming Phase 1 clinical trial in gynecologic cancers," said Dr. Wayne Danter, President and CEO of COTI. "With nine patents now issued for COTI-2 and several more pending worldwide, we have a growing intellectual property position protecting COTI-2 that supports our efforts to maximize future commercial licensing opportunities."
European Patent No. 2121681 covers a number of chemical structures in the COTI-2 family of compounds, pharmaceutical preparations containing COTI-2, methods of manufacturing the compounds and use of the compounds in the treatment of cancer in the European market until January 2028. This subject matter has previously been protected with patents in the U.S., Japan and Canada.

Critical Outcome Technologies Files Investigational New Drug Application With the FDA for COTI-2
#COTQF / #COT.V
Novel p53-Dependent Cancer Therapy One Step Closer to the Clinic
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/-2013503.htm
LONDON, ON--(Marketwired - April 27, 2015) - Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. ("COTI" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: COT) (OTCQB: COTQF), announced today the filing of an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research ("FDA") for COTI-2, a potential breakthrough therapy intended for the treatment of women with gynecological cancers with p53 mutations. Advanced gynecological cancers have a particularly high prevalence rate (as high as 95%) of p53 mutations. The IND application is a complete description of the chemistry, non-clinical pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, safety toxicology, manufacturing and other relevant information related to COTI-2 as a potential treatment for patients with p53 mutations.
Subject to the FDA granting the IND application, the Company intends to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of an oral formulation of COTI-2 in patients with gynecological cancers (cervical, endometrial and ovarian) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Extensive preclinical studies have demonstrated COTI-2's ability to restore mutant p53 function and thus induce cancer cell death in cancers with many common p53 mutations. In the upcoming clinical trial, the Company intends to determine primarily the safety of COTI-2, as well as obtain some indications of efficacy, the maximum tolerated-dose and pharmacokinetics in treating gynecological cancers containing p53 mutations in patients who have failed the current first line therapies used in these types of cancers.
"The filing of this IND application is a critical step forward in moving our lead oncology asset into the clinic," said Dr. Wayne Danter, President and CEO. "With a novel mechanism of action, orphan drug status for ovarian cancer, and a strong clinical development partner in MD Anderson, we believe that COTI-2 is well positioned for a Phase 1 clinical trial in gynecological cancers. Most ovarian cancers have at least one p53 mutation and COTI-2 may represent a potential breakthrough therapy for patients with these mutations. We look forward to working with the FDA in anticipation of their granting the IND application in the near future and commencing our COTI-2 trial for the benefit of women with gynecological cancers who have failed standard therapies."
