NeOnc Technologies to Be Featured on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew to Discuss Reaching Brain Tumors Without Surgery or Systemic Chemotherapy

CALABASAS, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTHI) (“NeOnc” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced that it will be featured on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew, a national health television series hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky, in a segment on non-invasive approaches to delivering investigational therapies to brain tumors.

Fox Business Network will carry the segment on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. PT. Air dates and times are subject to change.

Amir F. Heshmatpour, Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas Chen, MD, PhD, Founder, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of NeOnc, join Dr. Drew to discuss how NeOnc’s intranasal approach is designed to reach brain tumors directly, without the limitations of surgery and systemic chemotherapy.

During the segment, Mr. Heshmatpour describes brain cancer as a growing problem and discusses the Company’s investigational intranasal NEO100 program, which is in clinical development in both adults and children. Speaking about what the program could mean for patients, he says: “We believe that we will make a significant impact in the standard of care for adults and kids suffering with brain cancer.”

Additionally, in the segment, Dr. Chen explains how the same mechanism meant to protect the brain actually makes brain tumors so difficult to treat with traditional approaches, and how NeOnc is working to overcome that challenge.

NEO100 is a highly purified form of perillyl alcohol administered intranasally. Its delivery approach is designed to provide a non-invasive route to the brain. NEO100 remains investigational, and its safety and efficacy have not been established.
