Manhattan Scientifics Announces Breakthrough Device for Detection of Cancer

Manhattan Scientifics Inc.’s (OTC: QB MHTX) former wholly-owned subsidiary that was initially funded by MHTX, Imagion Biosystems Ltd (ASX:IBX) over a nine-year period has received confirmation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the MagSense System and Test for staging HER2 breast cancer has qualified for and been granted designation as a breakthrough device. The cancer diagnostic technology further develops the early work of physicist Edward R. Flynn, PhD.

Manhattan Scientifics owns 64 million IBX shares. Imagion Biosystems traded 140 million shares yesterday to a high of AU$0.075 and closed with a gain of approximately 200% over its previous close.

Imagion has confirmed that it is currently discussing with the FDA and clinical study sites to undertake a first-in-human study of the MagSense HER2 Test.

“The FDA’s designation of our MagSense technology and HER2 test as a breakthrough device is a significant step in our clinical development program,” said Bob Proulx, executive chairman of Imagion. “Qualifying as a breakthrough device will allow us to expedite our dialogue with the agency and validates that our MagSense technology is not just another medical device but, indeed, represents a transformative opportunity for healthcare and could improve the standard of care for staging HER2 breast cancer,” Mr Proulx added.
