MagForce AG installs NanoActivator® at the University Hospital Münster

MagForce AG (Frankfurt, Xetra: MF6), a medical technology company that focuses on the field of oncology and is a leader in the nanotechnology sector, today announced the installation of the second NanoActivator®. The NanoActivator® was brought into operation as part of the preparations for the new glioblastoma study at the University Hospital Münster and is the second after the one at the university hospital Charité in Berlin.

Prof. Dr. med. Walter Stummer, Director of the Clinic for Neurosurgery and Neurooncology at the University Hospital Münster and head of the new clinical trial, said: "I am extremely happy to say that my center now has its own NanoActivator® and we can commence recruitment into this important study in neuro-oncology. We anticipate a significant added value to the technology once we have more experience in its use for therapy and are eager for generating additional data on efficacy from a randomized study. We are continually in contact with the clinical team at MagForce AG for directly communicating current developments in the progress of the study."

Prof. Dr. Hoda Tawfik, CMO/COO of MagForce AG: "Since the start of considerations about a new glioblastoma study, we have been in close contact with important medical opinion leaders in neurooncology. They contributed significantly to the creation of the study design. With the installation of another NanoActivator®, we are an important step closer to introducing this therapy to the medical community. Our goal is to take NanoTherm® therapy to the next level and to corroborate previous clinical results."

The new glioblastoma study aims to validate the previous results of NanoTherm® therapy in direct comparison to currently available standard therapy in a larger patient pool. This will allow the company to draw meaningful conclusions about the potential of this new approach to treating patients with glioblastomas. The patients recruitment in this new glioblastoma study will start end of 2013. Until then, a total of three NanoActivators® are planned to be set up and operational. Additional centers will follow in 2014.
