MMR Information Systems, Inc. Reaches Agreement With Lymphoma Research Foundation Regarding Study Data and Patient Samples


04/14 10:38 AM



LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/14/10 -- MMR Information Systems (MMRF:$0.1638,$0.0088,5.68%) ("MMR") disclosed today that it has reached agreement with the Lymphoma Research Foundation ("LRF"), under which the two organizations will work in good faith regarding the use of pre-merger Favrille intellectual property for cancer research. The Company acquired this intellectual property and related technology through its reverse merger with Favrille, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, in January 2009.
MMR has recently discovered the existence of intellectual property in the form of approximately 150 patient samples collected during the Company's Favrille pre-merger vaccine trials. Through May of 2008, pre-merger Favrille had spent more than $140 million on the creation and development of intellectual property, which includes clinical trials data, patient samples, patents and other assets. The Company hopes to enter into licensing agreements with biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, research organizations and others regarding the use of the assets.
Based on discussions with biotech consultants and others, MMR understands that the Company's IP may unlock ways to create "custom-made" cancer vaccines and identify other opportunities in cancer research. MMR also understands that these assets could lead to a positive reinterpretation of the results of the Company's previous Favrille vaccine trials.
According to Robert H. Lorsch, MMR Chief Executive Officer, "MMR continues to learn more about its pre-merger Favrille assets and the value they can bring to MMR shareholders and others. We hope that through a relationship with LRF the Company can identify organizations around the world that can put these assets to use in the fight against cancer while generating revenue for MMR shareholders."
Although MMR will continue to maximize the value of these biotech assets to its shareholders, the Company remains focused on its primary business, which is specifically the development and distribution of the MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record (www.MyMedicalRecords.com) MMRPro, an end-to-end document management solution for physicians which features an integrated patient portal (www.MyMedicalRecordsMD.com), and other related solutions in Health IT based on the Company's patented technologies.
