Data Presented From FluoroPharma's Phase II Clinical Trial of CardioPET (18F FCPHA) for Assessment of Acute and Chronic Forms of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

MONTCLAIR, NJ--(Marketwired - February 06, 2014) - FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI), a company specializing in the development of novel diagnostic imaging products that utilize positron emission tomography (PET) technology for the detection and assessment of disease before clinical manifestation, today announced the presentation of data from an ongoing Phase II clinical trial for ¹⁸F-FCPHA (CardioPET) to assess myocardial perfusion and fatty acid uptake in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

Dr. Fabian Demeure, author of the abstract on the clinical trial, presented the data at the SNMMI Winter Meeting on February 6^th. According to Dr. Demeure, "The results are very encouraging for fatty acid imaging. ¹⁸F-FCPHA was well tolerated and administered safely in study subjects at UC Louvain, part of a multi-center study in Belgium. ¹⁸F FCPHA demonstrated rapid blood clearance with excellent image quality and image time was optimal; as early as 3 minutes post injection."

According to Dr. Manuel Cerqueira, Chairman, Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic and co-author of the abstract, "This represents the first published data in humans for CardioPET. The results are very promising and could be an important development for patients with coronary disease. The dynamic aspects of fatty acid imaging are very interesting for the field of cardiac PET."

Thijs Spoor, Chairman and CEO of FluoroPharma commented. "We are greatly encouraged with the data presented by Dr. Demeure. The ability to obtain images quickly has the potential to enhance the value of CardioPET relative to the current standard of care and grow beyond perfusion imaging into molecular cardiology. It is becoming increasingly clear that novel diagnostic imaging agents are urgently needed and we are focused on driving forward the development of our pipeline to provide healthcare professionals around the world with new products that expand and improve their diagnostic capabilities. Symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) affects millions of patients worldwide and accounts for a significant and increasing percentage of deaths. CardioPET potentially signals a compelling new direction for PET cardiac imaging. We look forward to having additional data presented at future meetings."

About CardioPET and Phase II Clinical Trial

¹⁸F-FCPHA (CardioPET), one of FluoroPharma's first in class PET imaging products, is a perfusion and fatty acid uptake indicator, which is designed to be used as a cardiac imaging agent and may prove to be an effective alternative to currently available diagnostic tests. FluoroPharma believes its pharmacokinetic characteristics could be especially valuable in patients who are unable to exercise.

The Phase II clinical trial is an open label study designed to assess the safety and diagnostic performance of ¹⁸F-FCPHA (CardioPET) as compared to currently utilized SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging agents and angiography, the current "gold standard." This multicenter study is being conducted in Belgium.

About Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death and disability globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that more than 17 million people have died from heart attack, angina pectoris (chest pain) or both. It is also estimated that by 2030, this number will almost double.
