EDMONTON, March 3 - BioMS Medical Corp. (TSX: MS), a leading

the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the Company's phase II
MINDSET-01 trial of MBP8298 in patients with relapsing-remitting MS has
completed a safety analysis and recommended that the trial continue as per the
protocol.
This was the third of several regularly scheduled reviews by the DSMB
