of their treated tumors, 25% achieved an objective response of their untreated bystander tumors, and 100% exhibited disease control in their bystander tumors. In contrast, for those subjects failing to achieve an objective response of their treated tumors, only 8% achieved an objective response of their bystander tumors, and 92% exhibited progressive disease in their bystander tumors. These differences in response of bystander lesions as a function of response of target lesions were statistically significant and support the occurrence of a bystander effect in subjects whose target lesions have been responsive to PV-10 chemoablation.

Craig Dees, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Provectus stated, "While full analysis of our phase 1 data is yet to be completed and will be reported by other means, the significance of these top line numbers is compelling and serves to illustrate the unique properties of Provecta. Additionally, they reinforce the confidence level we've had since we first witnessed the effects of this drug for the treatment of melanoma. These results have motivated us to put forth an aggressive clinical plan designed to drive toward approval of Provecta for this devastating disease." Dees continued, "The response from the body's own immune system to those tumors that were left untreated makes our novel approach to treating the disease that much more attractive."
