BEVERLY HILLS, CA , March 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: RCHA), a Biopharmaceutical Company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies in oncology, announced today the potential for using its drug RP-323 (TPA) in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer that is found most frequently in two different age groups: 15 – 35 and over 55. It occurs in both sexes although it is more common in males. Cancer cells invade and destroy the architecture of the lymph nodes and infiltrate the liver, the spleen or other parts of the body. In the U.S., more than 100,000 people suffer from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"A phase I clinical trial conducted at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey have shown that RP-323 treatment reduced a palpable tumor mass after three weeks in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma. We look forward to being able to commence clinical trials in the future to prove that using RP-323 alone or in combination with other anticancer agents will have significant therapeutic activity against Hodgkin's lymphoma,” said Rich Pharmaceuticals CEO, Ben Chang. "Clinical studies in China have also demonstrated that IV administration of RP-323 resulted in remission in some patients with myelocytic leukemia."
