Theralase® Technologies Inc. announced the departure of its Chief Executive Officer ­ Device Division, Kipton Lade from the Company. Effective immediately, Shawn Shirazi, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer - Drug Division, has agreed to become the sole CEO of the Company and will work with the Board to begin a search to identify a new leader to guide the Device Division in its next phase of growth.

The Company has commenced a Phase II NMIBC clinical study to enroll and treat patients who present with CIS and who are considered BCG-Unresponsive or are intolerant to BCG Therapy ("Study II"). The Company has three sites open for patient enrollment and treatment; specifically, University Health Network ("UHN"), McGill University Health Centre ("MUHC") and London Health Sciences Centre ("LHSC"). All sites are actively recruiting and screening new patients for enrollment in Study II. In addition, the Company has approximately six clinical study sites located in Canada and the US that are at various stages of the on-boarding process. The Company is specifically targeting strategic clinical sites throughout Canada and the US (subject to FDA Investigational New Drug ("IND") approval) that serve large populations or have the demographics to support patient enrollment and treatment. The Company anticipates that patient enrollment and treatment will escalate rapidly as it launches additional clinical study sites.
