EDMONTON, Aug. 13, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- PLDLF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- IMBiotechnologies Ltd ("IMBio") announced today that the Company has completed purchase of all assets related to the Occlusin(R) tumor starvation technology from Paladin Labs Inc ("Paladin"). In addition to the cash payment provided to purchase the technology, Paladin will receive a one time milestone payment on first sale of product and a royalty with a capped payment. IMBio will focus its efforts on obtaining regulatory approval for its lead product candidate, Occlusin(R) 500 Artificial Embolization Device ("OCL 500 AED"), which is a medical device.

"All pre-clinical testing of the OCL 500 AED medical device is complete and we are in the process of assembling the pre-market notification (510(k)) submission to the FDA," commented Michael Stewart, President & CEO of IMBio. "The OCL 500 AED embolic agent cuts off the blood supply to tumors and demonstrates equivalent safety and effectiveness in comparison to currently approved embolic agents. One of the significant advantages of OCL 500 AED is that it is biodegradable and is slowly broken down by the body until it ultimately disappears. Competitor's products are permanent implants and stay in the body for the life of the patient."

OCL 500 AED is designed for the treatment of malignant and non-malignant vascularised tumors. Examples of vascularised tumors include heptocellular carcinoma (HCC; liver cancer), renal cell carcinoma (RCC; kidney cancer) and uterine fibroids. Over 2 million women in the USA alone suffer from debilitating effects of uterine fibroids.
