Entering a Transformative Stage by Advancing PRP to a Pivotal, Phase 1b, FIH, Clinical Study Whilst Undertaking Additional Research into Age-Related Chronic Diseases MELBOURNE, Australia, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPCB) (“Propanc” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel treatments for chronic diseases, including recurrent and metastatic cancer, today announced an update on corporate progress and reported third quarter financial results as of March 31, 2026 (Year end June 30). Corporate and R&D Highlights Executes Service Agreement with FyoniBio GmbH to Establish & Validate Pharmacokinetics Assay for Phase 1b First-In-Human Study Management has executed a service agreement with FyoniBio GmbH (formerly Glycotope, est. 2010), a German Contract Development Organization (CDO) based in Berlin for establishing and validating a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based pharmacokinetics (PK) assay. The objective is to quantify the Company’s lead asset, PRP, consisting of two proenzymes trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, as well as their activated enzyme forms trypsin and chymotrypsin from human serum during the Phase 1b, First-In-Human (FIH) study in advanced cancer patients suffering from solid tumors. Executes Multi-Yr, Anti-Aging & Cancer Research Collaboration with the Universities of Jaén and Granada, Spain A multi-year Joint Research Collaboration Agreement has been established with the Universities of Jaén (UJA) and Granada (UGR), Spain. The collaboration involves the evaluation of a senescence-modulating (i.e., anti-aging) compound to mitigate senescence and to complete experiments to further support the claims of recently filed fibrosis and cancer related patent applications, requested by Propanc Biopharma Inc. to the research group “Biological Technologies of The University of Jaén” and UGR’s Research Group, “Advanced Therapies: Differentiation, Regeneration and Cancer.” Corporate and Financial Updates Propanc entered into a private placement agreement for up to $100 million to accelerate clinical development. The Company received an initial $1,000,000 investment upon issuance of 100 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of March 31st, a further $1,000,000 investment was received upon exercise of 100 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Q3 Financial...

MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPCB) (“Propanc” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for recurrent and metastatic cancer, today announced an update on corporate progress and reported half yearly financial results as of December 31, 2025 (Year end June 30). Corporate and R&D Highlights Accelerates IP Momentum: Files Four Provisional Patent Applications – Strengthening Global Protection for Breakthrough Proenzyme Formulations Four provisional patent applications were filed with IP Australia detailing two new methods to treat resistant cancer and fibrosis, methods of producing synthetic trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, and innovative formulations of trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. As these applications advance to national phase entry across major global markets, it is expected to more than double the Company’s IP portfolio — from approximately 90 to over 200 patents — covering compositions, formulations, treatment methods, and new therapeutic indications Publishes Impact of Proenzymes on Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Fibroblasts in Peer Reviewed Journal The Company and its joint research partners at the Universities of Jaén and Granada published key findings in a peer reviewed journal, Scientific Reports, regarding the impact of proenzymes on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) fibroblasts. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in tumor initiation, progression, and the form of pre-metastatic niches. PDAC is characterized by a dense fibrotic stroma containing a significant enriched population of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The interplay between CAFs and tumor cells is crucial in driving tumor advancement and metastasis, underscoring the potential benefits of novel therapeutic strategies targeting stromal cells to improve patient survival. PRP, consisting of two bovine derived pancreatic proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, have shown efficacy in cancer treatment. The findings demonstrate PRP exerts multifaceted effects. Results underscore the candidacy of PRP as a potential disruptor of the TME. Corporate and Financial Updates $100 Million Private Placement Facility Propanc entered into a private placement agreement for up to $100 million to accelerate clinical development. The Company received an initial $1 million investm...

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPCB) (“Propanc” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel treatments for recurrent and metastatic cancer, today announced an update on corporate progress and reported financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Year end June 30). Corporate and R&D Highlights Advancing PRP Toward Phase 1b First-in-Human Trial (2026) Propanc continues to advance its lead candidate, PRP, toward a world-first Phase 1b clinical study in 30–40 patients with advanced solid tumors at the Peter Mac Cancer Center in Melbourne. GMP manufacturing scale-up, analytical method validation, and preparation of the Investigator’s Brochure and Clinical Trial Application are underway. Purification processes have been successfully scaled, delivering >95% purity to pharmaceutical standards. Two related patents are in drafting. Progressing Rec-PRP Synthetic Program Rec-PRP, a fully synthetic recombinant version of PRP designed for improved stability and global scalability, is undergoing biological validation against the bovine-derived formulation. Supporting research has identified methods enabling large-scale production, with patent drafting in progress. Rec-PRP will enter formal preclinical development following potency evaluation. POP1 Joint Research Program Extension Propanc is negotiating a 12-month extension with the Universities of Jaén and Granada to expand the POP1 research program. Recent findings show PRP significantly reduces tumorigenicity in Gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer and modulates malignant cells toward a less aggressive phenotype. Additional patents are being prepared based on these results. Corporate and Financial Updates Nasdaq Listing & Public Offering The Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,000,000 shares at $4.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $4 million. Propanc’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 15. $100 Million Private Placement Facility Propanc entered into a private placement agreement for up to $100 million to accelerate clinical development.
