Propanc Biopharma Targets $3B+ Pancreatic Cancer Market with PRP: 85%+ Tumor Inhibition in Breakthrough Proenzyme Therapy
Root-Cause Attack. Chemo Sensitization. Safer Profile.
MELBOURNE, Australia, March 12, 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 highlights of PRP, its lead proenzyme therapy poised to potentially disrupt the $3 billion+ pancreatic cancer treatment market—one of oncology’s most desperate battlegrounds with a grim 13% five-year survival rate.
Conventional chemo hits walls of resistance, brutal toxicity, and minimal progress. PRP changes the game:
- >85% tumor growth inhibition demonstrated in preclinical pancreatic models
- Forces malignant cells to differentiate—attacking cancer at its root
- Reduces fibrosis and resistance markers in the tumor microenvironment
- Sensitizes resistant tumors to standard chemo—higher efficacy, lower toxicity
- Targets cancer stem cells to cut recurrence risk
“PRP may represent a true paradigm shift for pancreatic cancer patients,” said Mr. James Nathanielsz, Propanc’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’re striking at the disease’s core mechanisms. With Phase 1b First-In-Human trials set for 2026 and a $100M facility in place, we’re moving fast to deliver real hope.”
Propanc is advancing PRP toward clinical development for advanced solid tumors, with pancreatic and ovarian cancers as initial priorities.
