FluoroPharma Medical Announces Acceptance of CardioPET Data for Presentation at the 21st Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology

MONTCLAIR, NJ --(Marketwired - May 25, 2016) - FluoroPharma Medical Inc., FPMI today announced the acceptance of the first comparative data from it's Phase II trial of CardioPET in subjects with a high likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD). The abstract was accepted for oral presentation on September 24th, 2016 in Boca Raton, Florida.

"We are excited that imaging data from this trial was accepted for presentation at such a prestigious forum as ASNC," said the Company's Vice-President of Development, Edward Lyons. "This is an important step in understanding the unique clinical potential for PET-based fatty acid imaging in patients with coronary disease."

CardioPET is a Fluorine-18 labeled modified fatty acid that mimics the heart's primary energy source, and provides insight to coronary blood flow and metabolism. Metabolic disorders are common with the high rates of CAD throughout the developed world. The trial was designed to evaluate the uptake and distribution of CardioPET in comparison to the standard of care for patients with known or suspected CAD, SPECT imaging with Tc-99m agents. Subjects were enrolled based on abnormal SPECT findings indicating ischemia.

ASNC Past President and study author Gary Heller, MD, of Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, New Jersey, performed the analysis of the SPECT and PET images with the clinical investigators, who acquired the image data at four sites in Belgium. After scoring the SPECT and PET images in accordance with ASNC standards, the data were compared to clinically indicated angiography for each subject who received imaging. Dr. Manuel Cerqueira of the Cleveland Clinic, who was instrumental in defining the scoring standard, was also a co-author on the study. Additional observations on image quality and study interpretability were recorded.

The Company's President and CEO, Dr. Thomas Tulip added, "This is the most important step in the drug development process; obtaining results that create scientific debate and facilitate the transition to late-stage clinical studies, enabling a clear development strategy. We believe this new CardioPET data will stimulate strong interest in the Cardiology imaging community. We're looking forward to the presentation, and to proceeding to the critical next stage in clinical development."
