MIV THERAPEUTICS INC (OTCBB: MIVT)

Dear Reader,

In the rapidly changing world of biotechnology new ideas are plied and tried with enthusiasm. But few of these medical notions will find themselves as far along as MIV Therapeutics Inc. (OTCBB:MIVT), which has posted news twice this week regarding its polymer-free stent, sending a signal to investors that the company is making enormous progress.

This week alone, MIV has released impressive news, the first of which on Monday reported positive results from the first human study with its VESTASYNC stent as the Principal Investigator, Alexandre Abizaid, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Coronary Intervention of Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, noted excellent safety data with no Major Adverse Coronary Events, and good efficacy data.  This was followed today by an announcement  that Dr. Abizaid performed one live four-month follow-up case from the MIVT pilot trial at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2007 conference, during which angiographic, IVUS and OCT studies were conducted.

MIV Therapeutics, Inc. is focused on commercializing the next generation of fully biocompatible coatings for cardiovascular stents and drug delivery systems to treat coronary artery disease, an estimated $6 billion worldwide market.

ATLANTA, Oct. 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- MIV Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC BB:MIVT.OB - News) (Frankfurt:MIV.F - News), a leading developer of next-generation coatings and advanced drug delivery systems for cardiovascular stents and other implantable medical devices, announces that Alexandre Abizaid, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Coronary Intervention of Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, performed one live four-month follow-up case from the MIVT pilot trial at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2007 conference yesterday, during which angiographic, IVUS and OCT studies were conducted. This patient represented the 14th follow-up patient in the 15-patient First-in-Man pilot study with the VESTASYNC Polymer-Free HAp-Coated Sirolimus-Eluting Stent. The 15th patient, who was a back-up patient, if required for this live case in the event that the 14th patient was unable to undergo the procedure, will be followed up shortly, bringing to a close the four-month follow-up of the study.

ATLANTA, GA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 22, 2007 -- MIV Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC BB:MIVT.OB - News) (Frankfurt:MIV.F - News), a leading developer of next-generation coatings and advanced drug delivery systems for cardiovascular stents and other implantable medical devices, announced positive results from the four-month follow up of its First-In-Man study with its VESTASYNC stent. In a presentation titled "The MIV Polymer-Free Hydroxyapatite-Coated Sirolimus-Eluting Stent: First-in-Man Angiographic and IVUS Follow-Up Results," Principal Investigator Alexandre Abizaid, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Coronary Intervention of Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, noted excellent safety data with no Major Adverse Coronary Events (MACE), and good efficacy data.

At the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2007 conference being held this week at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., Dr. Abizaid presented four-month follow-up efficacy data on 13 patients in the 15-patient study, which by angiography showed average late-lumen loss of 0.27 mm (+/-0.27) in-stent and 0.18 mm (+/-0.31) in-lesion, and zero percent restenosis. IVUS analysis showed volumetric obstruction of only 2.8% (+/-2.4). All patients were thrombosis-free.

"These are excellent data, and they compare very favorably with FIM data generated by the currently available drug eluting stents both in the U.S. and abroad," commented Dr. Abizaid. "We are looking forward to completing our patient follow up and to further reporting on angiographic and IVUS data at nine months."

Dr. Mark Landy, president of MIV Therapeutics, said, "Based on this pilot trial, our VESTASYNC polymer-free HAp sirolimus-eluting stent system is sufficiently safe and effective to warrant testing in a larger human study. We are very pleased to be developing our protocol for further testing in the first half of 2008."

About MIV Therapeutics Inc.

MIV has recently acquired Biosync Scientific in India and earlier, SagaX in Israel to significantly expand product offerings, as well as design, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

Working since 2001 in close collaboration with The University of British Columbia (UBC), MIVT has developed a unique biocompatible nano-film coating that eliminates the side-effects attributed to current stent technology. This is a major breakthrough, which utilizes Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a mineral and major component of human bones and teeth, to protect surrounding arterial tissue from direct contact with bare metal stent. Comprehensive animal studies demonstrated Hydroxyapatite improves the performance of bare metal stents by inhibiting inflammatory responses, a common cause of restenosis, a re-growth of vascular tissue following stent implantation. 

MIVT announced the first ever human implantation of a hydroxyapatite-coated stent and the launch of the MIVT Pilot Trial.  The MIVT Pilot Trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MIVT’s polymer-free nanoscale microporous hydroxyapatite drug-eluting stent for the treatment of single de novo lesions in native coronary arteries.  The first procedure was conducted by Dr. Alexandre Abizaid of Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Abizaid and Institute Dante Pazzanes of Cardiology are among the world’s foremost experts in conducting clinical trials researching both new and existing drug-eluting stents.  MIV Therapeutics announced on May 31, 2007: 

Start of Clinical Trial Marking First Ever Human Implantation of A Hydroxyapatite Coated Stent

The trial to study safety and efficacy of one of the company’s proprietary polymer – free drug eluting stent technologies

The beginning of human implantation represents the culmination of extensive research and development and a successful animal trial program. Human implantation represents a crucial milestone in MIVT’s strategic plan to develop a new class of polymer-free drug-eluting stents that could provide patients with superior outcomes.  "We are very pleased to announce that our human trials are underway in-line with our previous guidance," said Dr. Mark Landy, president of MIV Therapeutics. "We have worked diligently to create a new, novel technology that we expect will be an excellent alternative for millions of patients around the world suffering from coronary artery disease.

MIV Therapeutics is focused on commercializing the next generation of fully biocompatible coatings for cardiovascular stents and drug delivery systems to treat coronary artery disease, an estimated $6 billion worldwide market. The company's technologies are expected to offer a safer alternative to current drug-eluting stents and hope to solve the issues of late thrombosis.

MIVT’s polymer-free nanoscale microporous hydroxyapatite drug-eluting stent uses the Company’s GenX coronary stent system. The GenX stent is coated with one of MIVT’s proprietary hydroxyapatite polymer-free drug eluting systems that is 700 nanometers thin. 

This technology is not limited to stents and can be used on any implantable medical device including those in the orthopedic field. MIV also has a number of Non-Polymeric drug eluting coatings currently under development that are expected to offer a safer and possibly more effective solution to current products on the market. Human implantation of these technologies is also expected in 2007. 

MIVT’s current product portfolio encompasses the following preclinical development projects:

HAp-nano-film coating technology. MIVT's lead product in development is an HAp-coated coronary stent with a nano-film coating. HAp is naturally found in bone and tooth enamel and demonstrates complete biocompatibilty with the human body. As such, it may inhibit a variety of adverse and inflammatory reactions and potentially help reduce restenosis, a recurrence of CAD, Coronary Artery Disease, a re-blocking of arteries following angioplasty. It is also believed that HAp-coated cardiovascular stents, unlike their counterparts available at the global markets at the present time, will not trigger late adverse thrombogenic reactions. 

Drug-eluting stents. MIVT is expected to enter the drug-eluting stent market by using a thicker coating of HAp loaded with a suitable drug, i.e. anti-inflammatory. The technology has a variety of potential applications in cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular drug/device combination products, including peripheral stents, biodegradable implants, gene therapy, and delivery systems for release of chemotherapeutic agents.
