About IMBio

IMBio is a privately held Canadian biotechnology company focused on developing medical device products for use in the area of embolotherapy. Lead product, OCL 500 microspheres for the treatment of unresectable/inoperable hypervascularized tumours has received marketing clearance from the FDA in the U.S. Other products in development include rapidly-dissolving, drug-eluting and/or radio-labelled microspheres as well as biodegradable coils and stents for use in aneurysms that are not conducive to treatment with microspheres.

About Embolotherapy

Embolotherapy works by cutting off blood flow to benign and malignant hypervascular tumours. The procedure is performed by injecting agents through a catheter into the blood vessels that feed the target tumour. By selectively blocking blood supply, the deprived tumour is either destroyed or devitalized, resulting in therapeutic benefit. Hypervascular tumours are characterized by having an excessive number of blood vessels. Embolotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for hypervascular tumours such as liver and kidney cancers as well as uterine fibroids. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are approximately 25,000 Americans with liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, and approximately 266,000 with kidney and renal pelvic cancer. Across the U.S., approximately 300,000 hysterectomies and 70,000 myomectomies are performed annually to treat uterine fibroids.
