The Company’s first two abstracts have been published and can be viewed on the AACR Annual Meeting website.
DelMar will present abstract (#2157):  “Enhanced in vitro activity of dianhydrogalactitol (VAL-083) in combination with platinum drugs: Impact of p53 and platinum-resistance,“ during the session entitled “New Drugs, Therapeutic Targets, and Treatment Approaches being held on Monday, April 18, 2016, from 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. CDT.  In this abstract, the Company will present new in vitro data in cell-lines representing difficult to treat subsets of non-small cell lung and ovarian cancer that may be targeted by VAL-083’s unique anti-cancer mechanism.
