Item 5. Other Events.
On January 19, 2001, EDG Capital, Inc. issued a press release announcing
that it has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the use of Colloidal ^32P
Phosphorus and Macroaggregated Albumin (^32P/MAA) in the treatment of solid
tumors.
In November 2000, the FDA performed an inspection of the Center for
Molecular Medicine, the facility where the ^32P/MAA studies are being performed.
The Center for Molecular Medicine is a clinical research group under management
contract with EDG Capital, Inc.'s subsidiary Isotope Solutions, Inc. While the
results of the inspection were favorable, the FDA asked Dr. Stanley Order, the
principal investigator, to file an IND for its review. On November 27, 2000, Dr.
Order filed an IND to permit the use of the ^32P/MAA combination in clinical
studies of pancreatic and brain tumors. Since that time, the FDA has given Dr.
Order permission to continue the studies of ^32P/MAA in pancreatic cancer.
Before enrollment of patients into the brain cancer study can proceed, the FDA
has asked for assurance that the ^32P and MAA products meet a specific purity
requirement (specifically, bacterial endotoxin levels) for use in the brain.
Isotope Solutions, Inc. is currently working with its suppliers to provide
assurance to the FDA that the two products meet the FDA's requirement and
anticipates that the issue will be resolved in the near future.
