Theralase Discovers Anti-Cancer Drug Fluoresces in Tissue

Toronto, Ontario – May 14, 2015, Theralase Technologies Inc. (“Theralase” or the “Company”) (TLT:TSXV) (TLTFF: OTC Pink®), a leading biotechnology manufacturer focused on commercializing medical technologies to eliminate pain and destroy cancer, has discovered that its lead anti-cancer drug, TLD-1433, emits a fluorescent signature when light activated in a Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (“NMIBC”) animal model. The advantages of this discovery are three fold: It can be used as a diagnostic tool for the oncologist to detect the presence of cancer cells and micro-metastases too small to be seen by the human eye. It can be used to determine sufficient uptake of TLD-1433 into the cancer cells After light activation, it can determine if the cancer cells that have absorbed the drug have been destroyed. Theralase intends to use this new discovery in the treatment of NMIBC. Clinical Treatment Protocol of NMBIC with Photo Dynamic Therapy: Intravesical installation of TLD-1433 … Read More

Theralase Manufactures High Purity Anti-Cancer Drug
