EDMONTON, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - BioMS Medical Corp. (TSX: MS), a leading developer in the treatment of multiple sclerosis ("MS"), today announced financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2007.

"We continue to focus on the worldwide development of MBP8298, our proprietary synthetic peptide drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, which is being evaluated in several late-stage trials in the U.S., Canada and across Europe," said Kevin Giese, President and CEO of BioMS Medical.
