Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: ABMT) announced that
the Company's subsidiary, Shenzhen Changhua Biomedical Engineering
Co., Ltd. ("ABT-CHANGHUA"), has signed a cooperative agreement with
The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical
University ("GDPU Hospital") in Guangzhou. Under this cooperative
agreement, both parties will join efforts in conducting research
and animal tests on Cranio-Maxillofacial Fracture Treatment and
Craniofacial Reconstruction utilizing ABT-CHANGHUA's novel patented
PA (Polyamide) bio-absorbable material.
ABT-CHANGHUA will produce sample PA bio-absorbable miniscrews
and plates for research and animal test; GDPU Hospital will conduct
research and animal testing, and a Phase II clinical trial for this
new indication. The program will provide safety and efficacy data
and provide further validation for the application of PA
bio-degradable miniscrews and plates in Cranio-Maxillofacial
Fracture Treatment, Craniofacial Restoration and Cosmetic
Surgery.
The Company intends to apply to the SFDA (State FDA of China)
for Phase III clinical testing upon successful completion of its
Phase II program. Under the agreement, both parties will contribute
funding for the project but ABT-CHANGHUA has first right to file
patent applications.
"The Company's bio-degradable, bio-absorbable materials are
currently being applied to orthopaedic trauma treatment, and the
Company has been seeking opportunities and cooperative partners to
expand its potential use for a number of new medical procedures.
The cooperation with GDPU Hospital indicates that our PA products
and technologies are being recognized by Doctors and Specialists
from other medical fields. This has created another dimension in
the application of our PA bio-absorbable products and technologies.
The Company and the Hospital are working closely to ensure the
tests are conducted according to the SFDA guidelines and procedures
so we can rapidly advance into these new clinical trials," said Ms.
Wang Hui, CEO of Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc.
