The third imaging agent will be 99mTc-EC-LHRH.
The company will prepare and file an IND application
with the FDA by the fourth quarter 2005. In
addition, the company is planning to seek
authorization from the Taiwanese regulatory
authority to conduct a Phase I clinical trial in
Taiwan to evaluate 99mTc-EC-LHRH as an agent for the
diagnosis of endometriosis and ovarian cancer. LHRH
is a luteinizinghormone releasing hormone
that targets the overexpression of extrogen
receptors in females. Following completion of the
Phase I study, the company plans to conduct a
combination Phase II/III study both in the U.S. and
Taiwan. In addition, the company will submit an IND
application for authorization to begin a Phase I
study with the radiotherapeutic version of EC-LHRH
to treat endometriosis and ovarian cancer .
