MABCURE N.V. Signs Research Agreement With AZ Sint Lucas Hospital, Brugge, Belgium, to Conduct Preclinical Research on its Monoclonal Antibodies (Mabs) against Different Cancers

Dr. Amnon Gonenne, CEO of MabCure Inc commented, “If this preclinical research works, it would open a door for us to diagnose everything that goes through surgery. This would include, for example, all of the at-risk melanoma patient population that routinely has moles removed prophylactically. The resection is arbitrary and there is currently no method to determine if the removed moles harbor early stage melanoma or not. This is critically important since melanoma is a highly lethal disease. MabCure’s Mabs may provide a definitive diagnosis of early stage melanoma in these tissue specimens thereby allowing effective treatment of the patient. An analogous situation exists in colonoscopy where it is difficult to provide definitive diagnosis of early colon cancer in the resected polyps. This approach could be extended to other organs.”

Dr. Gonnene continued, “Currently, we address multibillion-dollar opportunities with the specimens we know our Mabs are effective against. This new opportunity would allow us to cast an even wider net and we are very excited about the possibility of helping these patients.”

Studies have already begun at AZ Sint Lucas Hospital, and all scientific results will remain a property of MabCure.
