NEW YORK, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pulmo BioTech Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: PLMO; Frankfort Borse: PBO) has announced has
announced further details of its non-binding letter of intent with
Biotechnology Consulting Poland Sp. z.o.o. to license its Pulmonary
Vascular Diagnostic Product Candidate PulmoBind(TM) development
work, clinical trials and ultimately, commercialization in the
European market. "Biotechnology Consulting Poland will license the
technology of PulmoBind(TM) from Pulmo BioTech pursuant to a
License Agreement expected to be entered into before the end of
2009. This will enable Biotechnology Consulting Poland to carry out
Phase I trials in Europe starting in early 2010. Once these safety
and efficacy trials are completed and if approval has been granted
by the European Regulatory Authority it is intended that
Biotechnology Consulting Poland will immediately commence Phase
II/III trials for PulmoBind(TM) against the conditions of pulmonary
hypertension and pulmonary embolism. Pursuant to the License
Agreement, Biotechnology Consulting Poland will ultimately be
responsible for the commercialization of PulmoBind(TM) across the
whole of the European Union and the European Economic Area. It is
contemplated that the License Agreement will have an initial term
of six years, with an extension clause, and during this period
Pulmo BioTech will provide all of the technical information and
resources necessary to enable Biotechnology Consulting Poland to
successfully complete all of its European trials work. By utilizing
the technical and commercial skills of Biotechnology Consulting
Poland, Pulmo BioTech will have European trials of PulmoBind(TM) in
tandem with the work in North America, which will permit Pulmo
BioTech to complete trials and begin commercialization in parallel
across these two continents." - Garry McCann, CEO Pulmo BioTech

CUSIP: 745845107 WKN: A0RDTZ About PulmoScience Inc. PulmoScience
Inc. was established in 2006, and is currently developing a
non-invasive Molecular Imaging technique for the diagnosis of
Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Hypertension and Lung Inflammatory
diseases under the trade name PulmoBind(TM). PulmoScience was
conceived within the Montreal Heart Institute "MHI" (a world
renowned hospital and educational facility). Jointly owned by MHI
subsidiary Innovacor as the technical and operational partner, Dr.
Jocelyn Dupuis (the scientific director and originator of the
PulmoBind(TM) Molecular Imaging technology), and by Pulmo BioTech
Inc. as the funding partner, PulmoScience Inc. aims to develop this
unique and exciting technology, to fund necessary trials, and to
bring the products to market. PulmoScience believes that the market
for its product candidates is worth in excess of $500 million per
annum and that, provided Regulatory Approval is achieved, the
safety and efficacy of its products could allow it to dominate that
market. About PulmoBind(TM) PulmoBind(TM) uses an intravenously
delivered radionuclide tagged molecule which specifically bonds to
the inner walls of the circulatory system in the lungs, and by the
use of an external Gamma Camera allows an image of the integrity of
the blood vessels throughout the lungs to be seen by a diagnostic
clinician. PulmoScience is currently undertaking Regulatory
Approval for Phase I Human Trials, and while subsequent results
from additional tests might not corroborate the current results,
PulmoScience believes that PulmoBind(TM) has the potential to
dominate the market for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism. In
particular, this belief is driven by PulmoScience's expectations of
the improved safety and efficacy that PulmoBind(TM) will offer when
compared to the current incumbent nuclear medicine based technology
for the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism. In addition, early
indications are that PulmoBind(TM) could be highly effective in the
early stage diagnosis of Pulmonary Hypertension, a condition for
which there is no current front line diagnostic test. The
addressable market for the product candidates being developed by
PulmoScience is believed by the company to be worth in excess of
$500 million per annum. About BioTechnology Consulting Poland Sp.
z.o.o. BioTechnology Consulting Poland Sp. z.o.o. is a Polish based
company which has been set up to enable the rapid approval of
products developed outside the Euro Zone in the European market.
Pursuant to the License Agreement contemplated by the LOI,
BioTechnology Consulting Poland will license IP from Pulmo BioTech
to enable it to rapidly carry out Phase Trials and ultimately
commercialize PulmoBind(TM) across the whole of the European Union
and European Economic Area. BioTechnology Consulting Poland counts
amongst its key staff, professionals in the areas of medical
project management, new business start-up and growth, and medical
Phase Trials. BioTechnology Consulting Poland has links with key
Polish medical facilities, CROs and Pharmaceutical companies.
