MabCure Receives U$500,000.00 Licensing Fee as Well as 12.5% Ongoing Royalty for Its Prostate Cancer Diagnostic Technology

Business Wire
MabCure, Inc. (OTCBB: MBCI), a leading developer of
antibody-based diagnostics and treatments for ovarian and prostate
cancer, today announced that it has signed a license agreement with
Biotech Investment Corp. (“Biotech”), a Nevada-based biotechnology
investment company. The agreement is an exclusive worldwide license
to certain MabCure hybridoma clones producing antibodies against
prostate cancer. In addition to the license fee paid to MabCure,
Biotech will issue to MabCure 15% of its outstanding shares on a
fully diluted basis and will pay a royalty of 12.5% on
revenues.
The need for a new method for diagnosing prostate cancer has
become evident recently due to the major controversy over the
usefulness of PSA testing. PSA is a marker of inflammation of the
prostate, not of prostate cancer, and, as such, it is not
surprising that repeated clinical studies have shown that PSA
testing fails to alter the survival rate of prostate cancer
patients. MabCure’s antibodies are aimed at prostate cancer markers
and as such may have the potential for yielding an accurate
diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Dr. Amnon Gonenne, CEO of MabCure, commented: “This is a very
exciting deal for MabCure and its shareholders. It demonstrates the
confidence of our investors (Biotech) in our technology and the
early proof of concept attained with our antibodies for the
diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The license fee will mainly be used to
further the development and testing of our hybridoma clones for the
diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer. We look forward to working with
Biotech on developing the prostate cancer diagnostic test and are
excited about the parallel development and testing of our
antibodies for the detection and treatment of two forms of
cancer.”
