SILVER SPRING, Md., June 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (OTCQB:PMCB), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing targeted treatments for cancer and diabetes using its signature live-cell encapsulation technology, Cell-in-a-Box®, today announced the release of a video interview by Small Cap Nation (SCN) of the Chief Executive Offer of PharmaCyte, Kenneth L. Waggoner.
In the interview, Mr. Waggoner is interviewed by SCN anchor Wendy Gillette and the founder of the Baker Research Group, analyst Kevin Baker. Mr. Waggoner discusses PharmaCyte’s upcoming Phase 2b clinical trial in advanced pancreatic cancer to be conducted in the United States and Europe using the company’s signature live-cell encapsulation technology, Cell-in-a-Box® and the company’s therapy for Type 1 diabetes and insulin dependent Type 2 diabetes.

About PharmaCyte Biotech
PharmaCyte Biotech is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing and preparing to commercialize treatments for cancer and diabetes based upon a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as “Cell-in-a-Box®.” This technology will be used as a platform upon which treatments for several types of cancer and diabetes are being developed. PharmaCyte’s treatment for cancer involves encapsulating genetically modified human cells that convert an inactive chemotherapy drug into its active or “cancer-killing” form. These encapsulated cells are placed as close to a cancerous tumor as possible. Once implanted in a patient, a chemotherapy drug which needs to be activated in the body (ifosfamide) is then given intravenously at one-third the normal dose. The ifosfamide is carried by the circulatory system to where the encapsulated cells have been placed. When the ifosfamide, which is normally activated in the liver, comes in contact with the encapsulated cells, activation of the chemotherapy drug takes place at the source of the cancer without any side effects from the chemotherapy. This “targeted chemotherapy” has proven remarkably effective and safe to use in past clinical trials.
In addition to developing a novel treatment for cancer, PharmaCyte is developing a treatment for Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes. PharmaCyte plans to encapsulate a human cell line that has been genetically engineered to produce, store and release insulin in response to the levels of blood sugar in the human body. The encapsulation will be done using the Cell-in-a-Box® technology.
