LOWELL, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 28, 2016) - Viatar CTC Solutions, Inc. (
Viatar also announced that the $4.2 million Series B preferred stock financing announced on February 29, 2016 has now been fully funded.
"With the full funding of our $4.2 million financing Viatar has greatly strengthened its capital position; and the independent auditor's report on our financial statements for 2015 does not include the 'going concern' qualification which is typical for startup companies," said Ilan Reich, Chairman and CEO of Viatar. "The completion of this financing provides us with the funding that will enable us to complete the significant engineering, manufacturing and regulatory compliance tasks in order to obtain CE Mark approval. We project commercialization of our Therapeutic Oncopheresis System in Europe and Canada in 2017. We are also pursuing the FDA approval process on a parallel track. Viatar is now firmly on the path to commercialization next year and improving the outcomes for overall survival for a wide range of solid tumor cancers."
