Roger Dumoulin-White, President and CEO of Theralase stated that, “Theralase is delighted to be associated with both Dr. Jewett and Dr. Kulkarni and their combined expertise in the field of uro-oncology. Their experience and guidance is key to assisting Theralase in the successful completion of a Phase Ib clinical study for the treatment of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (“NMIBC”). The Phase Ib NMIBC clinical study, for the first three patients, successfully met its primary and secondary outcome measures of safety and tolerability and pharmacokinetics (movement and exit of drug within tissue), respectively, as determined by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (“DSMB”). The Company will report out on the exploratory endpoint of efficacy, when sufficient clinical data has been collected to intelligently report out on this outcome measure. The DSMB has authorized UHN to enroll an additional 6 patients for the second phase of the Phase Ib clinical study to be treated at a therapeutic dose of the light activated drug, TLD-1433, (0.70 mg/cm2), currently in progress.”
