FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing patented Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging products to improve patient management by evaluating cardiac disease at the cellular and molecular levels. The company is currently advancing two products in clinical trials to fulfill critical unmet medical needs. The agents will provide clinicians important tools for detecting and as-sessing pathology before critical manifestations of disease.

The company’s proprietary molecules labeled with the radioactive isotope of fluorine combined with PET scanning provide non-invasive, highly specific and efficient assessment of heart metabolism and physiology. FluoroPharma’s cardiovascular program addresses the largest segment of the nuclear medicine market.

Molecular imaging fulfills numerous unmet needs in diagnosis by enabling visualization, characterization and mea-surement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular level. Unlike traditional imaging modalities – MRI, CT, and Ultrasound – that reveal the anatomical abnormalities and cause for disease, PET provides insight into physiol-ogy and can detect disease before anatomical manifestation is identified. According to GAI, the market for molecular imaging agents currently exceeds $1.7 billion annually and promises rapid growth for the foreseeable future.

FluoroPharma’s comprehensive technology platform was developed by scientists at the Massachusetts General Hos-pital. To date, the company has been issued four US patents and has seven applications pending in addition to strong international protection. With a solid and experienced management team in place and the necessary resources to ad-vance clinical development, FluoroPharma is well positioned to capitalize on its superior imaging technology.

Products

CardioPET (Completed Phase I)

CardioPET is a novel metabolic cardiac PET imaging agent that allows assessment of acute and chronic coronary artery disease while patients are at rest. The imaging agent may be an accurate alternative to standard treadmill stress-testing which could be especially valuable in patients who are unable to exercise.

The CardioPET phase I trial achieved all safety endpoints with no adverse events or clinically significant changes noted in follow-up clinical and laboratory testing. The agent had rapid extraction from blood with sustained levels in myocardium. CardioPETperformedwellinbothhealthyvolunteersandpatientswithCAD.

BFPET (Completed Phase I)

BFPETisanovelcardiovascularbloodflowimagingagentthatconcentratesinhealthymyocardialcells.Theagentisusedto detect presumptive CAD in combinationwith stress testing and enables improved detection of CAD ofmulti-vesseldisease. According to Frost & Sullivan, more than 10 million Americans undergo myocardial perfusion imaging each year.

TheBFPETphase I trial achieved all safety endpointswithno adverse eventsor clinically significant changesnoted infollow-up clinical and laboratory testing. The agent demonstrated a favorable dosimetry and pharmacokinetics profile and iswelltolerated.Biodistributionresultsindicatedfastbloodclearance,rapidandstablemyocardialuptakeandhighheartto background ratios.

VasoPET (Preclinical)

VasoPET is the only PET agent known to selectively target inflamed or “vulnerable” atheromatous plaque. With this agent, physicians could be able to identify coronary artery plaque – an unhealthy though typical accumulation of cell debris, in-cluding cholesterol, calcium mineral and tissue within the arterial walls especially when inflamed – an ominous condition and precursor to myocardial infarction and possibly death.

FluoroPharma’s third important agent in the cardiovascular disease market, VasoPET could represent the first PET cardiac product to reliably image inflamed plaque, providing true diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for this dangerous and often fatal cardiac disease condition.

AZPET (Discovery)

Multiple biomarkers for imaging and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
