Orphan Drug Designation for GaM in Pediatric GBM

Imaging Biometrics, LLC (IB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IQ-AI Ltd (LSE: IQAI, OTCQB: IQAIF), today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for gallium maltolate (GaM) for the treatment of pediatric glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

In February, IB was granted Orphan Drug Designation for adult GBM. The US FDA has since confirmed that the designation granted in February applies to all GBM patients. GBM is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and children. There are currently no effective treatments for pediatric glioblastoma.

Oral GaM recently demonstrated significant survival benefits in a pre-clinical study for pediatric GBM. These promising results, coupled with the easy administration by capsule, make this a very attractive potential treatment option for both pediatric and adult patients.

"We are very pleased that the FDA has now confirmed that the orphan drug designation for GaM applies to all GBM populations including pediatric patients," said Trevor Brown, CEO of IQ-AI.
