  • GlobeStar Therapeutics is a Clinical Stage Pharmaceutical Company introducing a patented formulation for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosisx utilizing well known and approved drugs.
  • In clinical trials, the drug combination was shown effective in the reduction of Multiple Sclerosis co-morbidities. Significantly enhancing the lives of patients with MS.
  • GlobeStar Therapeutics will initiate discussions with the FDA on clinical trial design in preparation for FDA submission and approval pathway

Current Situation, Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

  • Chronic Neurodegenerative Disease
  • MS Affects Over 800,000 in US. 2.58 Million Globally
  • Diagnosed in People 20 to 50 years of age. 2 of every 3 Patients are Women
  • There is no known cure for any form of Multiple Sclerosis … At any stage
  • $15.3 Billion Annual Pharmaceutical spend in North America
  • Second Highest Chronic Disease Cost in United States
  • $26.1 Billion Annual Global Pharmaceutical Spend.

The Solution – An Oral Combination

GlobeStar Therapeutics Patented Formulation of Currently Available
Drugs: Minocycline, Fluconazole, and Atorvastatin

  • Minocycline
    An oral tetracycline antibiotic. Used to treat bacterial infections including respiratory and urinary tract infections. The drug is currently being studied for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), referring to the first episode of neurologic symptoms that last at least 24-hours and are caused by myelin damage.
  • Fluconazole
    An triazole antifungal. Used to prevent and treat a variety of fungal and yeast infections by stopping the growth of certain types of fungus. Studies using a combination of Minocycline & Fluconazole against candida albicans fungual growths proven effective, in vitro.
  • Atorvastatin
    A Statin, HMG CoA reductase inhibitor. Commonly used to lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol, increase levels of HDL cholesterol and to lower triglycerides. It is also an effective immunomodulatory agent shown to prevent autoimmune encephalomyelitis in animal model studies.
United States Patent: 10610592

Multiple Sclerosis: Stages, Prevalence, Population

  • CIS – Clinically Isolated Syndrome. A single course of MS (immune attack on myelin). The detection of brain lesions shows up to 80% chance of developing MS
  • RRMS – Relapsing & Remitting. Relapses of increased disease activity followed by remissions.
  • SPMS – Secondary Progressive MS. Follows RRMS and affects about 50% of those who have RRMS within 10 years. Reduced or absent relapse, but with periods of stability.
  • PPMS – Primary Progressive MS. Affects about 15% of people diagnosed with MS
  • HARRMS – Highly Active Relapse / Remitting MS. Steady progression with no remissions.

Multiple Sclerosis: Current Therapy Regimen

Treatments for MS Relapse (attacks)

  • Corticosteroids – reduce nerve inflammation.
  • Lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
  • Plasma exchange (plasmapheresis) – may be used if the symptoms are new, severe and have not responded to steroids.

Treatments to modify MS progression

  • Injectable Drugs
  • Oral Drugs
  • Infusion Drugs

Treatments for MS signs and symptoms

  • Physical therapy.
  • Muscle relaxants – baclofen (Lioresal, Gablofen), tizanidine (Zanaflex) and cyclobenzaprine may help.
  • Medications to reduce fatigue – Amantadine (Gocovri, Osmolex), modafinil (Provigil) and methylphenidate (Ritalin.
  • Medication to increase walking speed. Dalfampridine (Ampyra) may help to slightly increase walking speed in some people.

Initial Clinical Study

  • The study consisted of 150 volunteers, 90 subjects ages between 25 and 65 years with the MS disease course of a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 20 years including (60 healthy volunteers).
  • The read out of the trial was based on mobility Barthel Index (disability evaluation) before and after the treatment regimen.
  • The second parameter was analysis of muscle imbalance using the Kendall scale before and after the treatment regiment.
  • The subjects received 2 doses per day for 45 days, along with a controlled diet.

The cohort of patients had the following conditions: Multiple Sclerosis Autoimmune Diseases Disseminated or Multiple Sclerosis Nos Multiple Sclerosis, Acute Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Progressive Keywords: Autoimmune Multiple Sclerosis Relapsing Inflammation Chronic disease Demyelinating disease Progressive Remitting Relapsing
