About CardioVascular BioTherapeutics |
 |
CardioVascular BioTherapeutics Inc. (OTCBB: CVBT) is a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, currently focused on developing new therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. CVBT's protein drug candidate, Cardio Vascu-Grow™, is designed to facilitate growth of new blood vessels in the heart and other tissues and organs with impaired vascular systems.
In two separate clinical trials in Germany in the mid-1990s conducted by Dr. Thomas J. Stegmann, a protein identical in structure to Cardio Vascu-Grow™ prompted the growth of new blood vessels in the hearts and increased the pumping capacity of the hearts in the "no option" heart patients treated.
CVBT is currently working to confirm the medical benefits of this protein drug candidate through human clinical trials authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA clinical trial for no-option heart patients commenced in August 2004, with a network of six major medical centers conducting the trial. To date, 60 human no-option heart patients have been treated with Cardio Vascu-Grow™ and in Dr. Stegmann's German trial using a protein identical in structure to Cardio Vascu-Grow™.
CVBT recently announced that its Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") to the U.S. FDA had been allowed and the company is now authorized to commence its Phase I clinical trial in diabetic patients with foot ulcers and/or open leg wounds. Wound healing requires angiogenesis for the healing process to occur, making this indication an attractive target for treatment with Cardio Vascu-Grow™. In animal models, Cardio Vascu-Grow™ has been shown to be a potent stimulator of wound healing, almost doubling the rate at which a wound will heal. People with diminished healing abilities, including diabetics and the elderly, could greatly benefit from an agent that could stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the wounded area. 10 Million Patients Suffer from Diabetic Leg Ulcers, Bed Sores and Surgical Wounds.
In the U.S. Alone 60 Million People Suffer From Some Form of Cardiovascular Disease
CVBT is committed to conducting additional clinical trials to establish the positive effect of its drug candidate aimed at improving the quality of life for those suffering from heart disease, stroke, diabetic wounds, or peripheral vascular disease, and CVBT management pledges to continue exploration for additional applications of Cardio Vascu-Grow™.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2006--CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:CVBT.OB - News), announced today it has successfully completed the sale in a private placement of $20,000,000 of senior secured notes together with warrants to purchase 705,882 shares of the Company's common stock.
Daniel C. Montano, CEO of the company, stated, "This funding should carry us through Phase II of our 'No Option' Heart Patient and Phase I and II of our Wound Healing clinical trials, and reduce our need for additional capital."
The notes are convertible at any time at $12 per share. In addition, the notes are convertible after five months from the closing date at 94% of the average of the preceding five days weighted average trading price, if the result is lower than $12 per share.

CVBT Comments that Imaging Modalities Being Developed by Philips Medical Systems have Direct Application to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases CVBT is Targeting with Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM)
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2006--CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:CVBT.OB - News) announced today that a lecture delivered at the International Regenerative Medicine Foundation's 3rd annual conference held in Kauai, Hawaii has important implications for the development of its lead drug candidate, Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM). During that lecture, Dr. David Rollo, Chief Medical Officer of Philips Medical Systems, a company that develops, manufactures and markets advanced imaging equipment ("Philips"), spoke on the application of diagnostic imaging to assess the efficacy of FGF-1 for the diagnosis, treatment and management of ischemia. FGF-1 is the protein component of Cardio Vascu-Grow(TM).
Dr. Rollo's talk focused on Philips' recent development of imaging devices and related software that image molecular agents designed to specifically visualize, at high sensitivity, ischemic areas of the heart, brain and other tissues. Ischemia is poor blood perfusion due to blocked arteries. Dr. Rollo indicated that, as FGF-1 is a potent inducer of new blood vessel growth, new imaging agents could be utilized to first diagnose ischemic diseases then assess the effect of FGF-1 given to those patients. CVBT currently has two FDA-allowed clinical trials to treat ischemic diseases; the first in no-option heart patients; the second in ischemic leg disease, which leads to dermal ulcers that do not heal. A third trial in peripheral vascular disease is scheduled to start later this year.

CVBT Discusses Advances in Drug Development Program for New Stroke Treatments
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2006--CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:CVBT.OB - News) announced today that its Chief Operating and Scientific Officer, Jack Jacobs, Ph.D., presented the company's recent progress in its efforts to bring new therapeutics to the market for the treatment of stroke. His lecture was delivered on February 22, 2006 at the International Regenerative Medicine Foundation's 3rd annual conference entitled "New Science for a Better Medicine."
The lecture reviewed the promising data the company has collected to date to reduce the size of experimental strokes in animals. CVBT is developing human FGF-1, a protein which is a potent neuroprotective agent, as well as a stimulator of enhanced blood perfusion in the brain. In animals receiving an experimental stroke, the FGF-1 protein decreased the area of the stroke, resulting in a significant decrease in neurological deficits in these animals. The FGF-1 was administered to the animals up to 8 hours after the stroke was given, and a reduction in the stroke area and the number of neurological deficits was still observed, which, if it can be shown in humans, has potential clinical significance.
Dr. Jacobs also reviewed progress in a new initiative CVBT has launched in the area of stroke recovery. As human FGF-1 is a potent stimulator of new nerve growth, it has the potential to repopulate damaged areas of the brain with new neurons. Preclinical experiments with FGF-1 in animals with a chronic stroke condition indicated a significant increase in neuronal density in the areas affected by the stroke.
