BioPhausia - positive results BP04

PRESSRELEASE BioPhausia - positive results BP04 Preclinical studies within project BP04 (more effective cancer treatment with cytostatics) shows proof of concept at four levels. Earlier information 1. Treatment with BP04 decreases the pressure in the tumour (basic mechanism of action). 2. Increased uptake of marker in tumour has been documented Studies recently reported show: 3. Treatment with BP04 induces increased uptake of cytostatics (in tumour tissue). 4. In a model designed to study the effects of tumour growth the results show a significant decrease of tumour growth (and a tendency to decrease tumour size) compared with a control-group. Altogether, these studies give a good base to take the project to the clinical development phase. The project is according to plan and is in the next development phase. Next step is to start a development company aimed at increased focus on the project as well as the financing of the project development. This will probably be done in cooperation with an external partner according to the company development policy and business model.
