ATOS Atossa Therapeutics Inc

Atossa Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ:ATOS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics and delivery methods for breast cancer and other breast conditions, announced that today Steven C. Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa’s President and CEO, is providing an update on the Company’s clinical programs at the Precision: Breast Cancer World R&D Summit at 2:00 pm ET.

Dr. Quay’s presentation is titled, “A Twenty-First Century Approach: From Primary Prevention to Intraductal Immunotherapy,” and will include the following updates:

Ongoing Phase 2 Study: Dosing has been completed in Atossa’s Phase 2 clinical study of topical Endoxifen to reduce mammographic breast density.  Analysis of the results is underway and expected to be announced this quarter.

Expanded Access Program: The first safety end point has been successfully achieved in the FDA-approved expanded access program using Atossa’s proprietary oral Endoxifen to treat a single patient following breast cancer surgery. The patient in this study continues to experience few side effects from Endoxifen.

Intraductal Immunotherapy Program: Atossa recently completed the first phase of a preclinical study using Atossa’s proprietary intraductal delivery technology. Imaging of the mammary ducts of mice showed that dye was successfully dispersed throughout the mammary duct system. Based on these encouraging results, Atossa is advancing to the next preclinical phase which involves the intraductal administration of immune modulating formulations. This preclinical work will form the basis for advancing the intraductal delivery program into humans and to ultimately deliver immunotherapy to treat breast cancer using Atossa’s proprietary intraductal delivery technology.
