(OTCBB: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, today announced that it has initiated the IND-Enabling studies for Adva-27a, the Company’s flagship oncology drug candidate. Adva-27a is a small molecule that has proven effective at killing Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR) and Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells (H69AR) in vitro.
