At the Annual Meeting, the Registrant reported that it submitted a draft response in mid-April 2010
to the action letter it received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2010
regarding the Registrants PMA application for MelaFind®. The Registrant has had a
series of interactions with FDA reviewers, including an in person meeting with the FDA to review
its draft response and to clarify several questions. The final formal response to all questions
provided by the FDA will be submitted imminently.
The Registrant also reported:
that the large reader study, which was designed to assess physician sensitivity to early
melanoma and was performed on images and patient data derived from the pivotal trial, has been
completed and is undergoing formal statistical analysis. Top-line data demonstrate consistency with
the results of previously reported reader studies. Results will be made available publicly, and the
authors are planning to submit a paper for publication in a peer-review medical journal;
that two new patents were issued to the Registrant in 2010 covering certain aspects of the
MelaFind® commercial cart; and
on its ongoing efforts to obtain a CE Mark in order to allow for commercialization of
MelaFind® in Europe and other countries, as well as its commercial planning activities
outside the U.S. The Registrant is aiming to obtain approval to commercialize in certain European
markets in the first quarter of 2011.
