We remain committed to serving GBM patients in desperate need of a treatment, and look forward to leveraging Amy's extensive experience and commercial leadership to assist in positioning the Company for success."

"I am a strong supporter of innovation that brings value to patients, companies, and society. Never is that value more evident than it is in areas of high unmet need, such as glioblastoma multiforme. I have been intrigued by the Company's pivotal trial design for Berubicin and was further compelled by the successful outcome from the recent interim analysis, the rapid pace of enrollment, and strong management team. I believe Berubicin represents an opportunity to provide a solution for patients with this devastating disease. I look forward to working closely with the Company to build momentum toward potential approval of Berubicin," added Ms. Mahery.
