LA JOLLA, Calif., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Immunosyn Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IMYN) announced today that the first phase of a formal "Proof of Concept Trial" for the biopharmaceutical SF-1019 has been successfully completed in Europe for treatment of Diabetic Ulcers.
The Board of Immunosyn was advised as to the success of this important phase of the "Proof of Concept Trial" by Argyll Biotechnologies, LLC its strategic partner and largest shareholder. Argyll Biotechnologies is the developer and licensor of SF-1019, for which Immunosyn has been granted the world-wide rights to market, sell and distribute under an exclusive license agreement.
