By: Minomic International Ltd The demerger follows deep consultation with the investment community and potential license partners in Australia and the USA. Following this consultation Minomic's board and management determined that these parties view the diagnostic and therapeutic activities as separate and distinct businesses wishing to invest in either one but generally not wishing to invest in both. Minomic's Board formed the view that separation of the Company's diagnostic and therapeutic businesses would assist the near-term commercialisation of the MiCheck® test via a licencing deal. Additionally, the demerger will facilitate fundraising for the next steps for the therapeutics business, including a full Phase 1 trial of Miltuximab®. Minomic's CEO, Dr Brad Walsh commented "Completing the demerger is an important step in clearing the way to maximise the value of both the company's therapeutic and diagnostic assets ensuring that we provide the best possible return for all our stakeholders."

GlyTherix is developing Miltuximab® for the targeted treatment of a number of cancers. At the core of the technology is a protein known as Glypican-1 (GPC-1). GPC-1 occurs in many solid tumors such as prostate, bladder, pancreatic, glioblastoma, esophageal, ovarian and brain cancers. It is not present in healthy tissue. The company has a strong proprietary and Intellectual Property position covering both Miltuximab®, its anti-GPC-1 antibody and the antigen itself, GPC-1.

GlyTherix has now completed a 'First-in-Human' trial of 12 patients using Miltuximab® with no drug-related adverse events observed. GlyTherix is interested in partnerships or collaborations with larger pharmaceutical partners. End
