On 6/24/10, Biomoda (OTCBB:BMOD) ($0.17, $15 million market cap) completed patient enrollment and sample collection in an ongoing Phase 2 pilot study of CyPath (experimental lab-based diagnostic assay screening test for early-stage lung cancer) with top-line results to follow when available to support a planned pivotal study by year-end 2010 with up to 3500 patients and a projected Pre-Market Approval (PMA) filing with the FDA by year-end 2011 contingent upon pivotal study results.

On 7/20/10, Biomoda announced that it filed a U.S. patent application on a quantitative method for scoring cells labeled with the CyPath assay to determine whether cells are dysplastic or carcinomic by measuring the photon emission rate.
