About Osteologix
Osteologix is a specialty pharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies for the treatment and prevention of diseases of bone and joint tissues. Its lead product candidate, NB S101, is a novel pharmaceutical agent for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Osteologix has completed a Phase II clinical trial of NB S101 that demonstrated the ability of NB S101 to reduce markers of bone resorption and increase bone mineral density and also included a comparison of NB S101 (strontium malonate) to Proteolos (strontium renalate) marketed by Les Labortories Servier. Osteologix’s strategy is to develop its once-daily strontium tablet for the osteoporosis market by entering into Development and Marketing partnerships with regional or global pharmaceutical companies. The Company currently believes that they should be able to obtain regulatory approval and launch the product in Europe in early 2012, and on a later date in the United States and Japan.
