Toronto, Ontario – April 18, 2017 Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase®” or the “Company”) (TLT: TSXV) (TLTFF: OTC), a leading biotech company focused on the commercialization of medical devices to eliminate pain and the development of Photo Dynamic Compounds (“PDCs”) to destroy cancer, announced today that the second patient was treated on April 12, 2017 for Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder (“NMIBC”) cancer using its novel Photo Dynamic Therapy (“PDT”) technology. The PDT treatment procedure involves the instillation of a water based solution of Theralase’s lead anti-cancer PDC, TLD-1433, through the urethra into the bladder of the patient, to allow localization of the PDC to the NMIBC. The bladder is then drained of the solution, flushed with sterile water to remove excess solution and refilled with sterile water via a cystoscope. At this point, a fibre optic assembly, with the ability to both emit and detect laser light, is inserted through the cystoscope, … Read More

(“Theralase®” or the “Company”) (TLT:TSXV) (TLTFF:OTC), a leading biotech company focused on the commercialization of medical devices to eliminate pain and the development of Photo Dynamic Compounds (“PDCs”) to destroy cancer, announced today that it has demonstrated 18 month long term stability of it lead anti-cancer Photo Dynamic Compound (“PDC”), TLD-1433. Stability studies are an essential component of pharmaceutical development, allowing evaluation of a drug’s stability under the influence of a variety of environmental factors such as: temperature, humidity and light. Data from these studies enable recommended storage conditions, retest intervals and shelf lives to be established. Demonstrating long term stability of a drug to be used in human clinical testing is essential to prove that the potency and/or efficacy of the drug is not affected during prolonged shelf life. TLD-1433, in the most recent testing report, demonstrated that its purity … Read More
