ImaginAb Inc. has released interim results from a Phase 2 clinical trial of IAB2M, the company's proprietary imaging agent for management of prostate cancer. IAB2M demonstrated superior performance in detecting disease compared with ProstaScint and conventional imaging technologies including computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and bone scans. In addition, the agent accurately detected metastatic disease in normal-sized lymph nodes, overcoming a major limitation of existing technologies and addressing a key clinical need.
