Forbes Medi-Tech, Inc., a life sciences company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of products for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. It develops cholesterol-lowering agents used both as pharmaceutical therapeutics and functional food ingredients. The company's lead drug candidate is FM-VP4, a cholesterol-lowering prescription pharmaceutical candidate, which completed a Phase II clinical trial in Europe. FM-VP4 is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, a relatively new class of cholesterol-lowering pharmaceutical that would have therapeutic applications alone or in conjunction with other cholesterol-lowering therapies.

Keep on watch.

"At Champion, we are committed to providing consumers with the products they demand and with the growing popularity of heart healthy products we felt it was a natural progression to offer these great tasting cholesterol-lowering products with Reducol(TM)," noted Champion France representative, Sylvain Ferry.

With today's announcement a wide variety of cholesterol lowering dairy products containing Reducol(TM) can now be found in a number of European countries including France, the United Kingdom, Finland and the Netherlands, at major retailers including Champion, Tesco, U.K. Wal-Mart/ASDA, Kesko, and Albert Heijn.

"Today's announcement was made possible due to the continuing success of Reducol(TM)-based dairy products in Europe and speaks volumes about our product's credibility and competitive advantages," noted Charles Butt, President and CEO, Forbes Medi-Tech. "We are excited to be working with international distributors, such as CARREFOUR GROUP, and we hope to continue the expansion of Reducol(TM) product launches as the worldwide demand for cholesterol-lowering, Reducol(TM)-based products continues to grow."

Reducol(TM) is a unique ingredient containing plant sterols and stanols, commonly known as phytosterols, or "Sterols". Like other previously announced Reducol(TM)-based products, these five products when consumed in recommended amounts, and combined with a prudent diet and regular exercise, may help customers lower their cholesterol by up to 24%.

In Europe, Reducol(TM) can now be found in such dairy products as yogurt, yogurt drinks, cheese and margarine spread, but can also be found worldwide in such items as chocolates and dietary supplements.

Bottom found restructuring in process. Worth the DD here.

Forbes Medi-Tech lays off R&D workers


Canada's Forbes Medi-Tech is laying off 20 percent of its workforce as the company restructures. Recently, shares of Forbes Medi-Tech lost half their value when the drug developer announced FM-VP4 did not lower bad cholesterol by 15 percent. It did, however, hit its primary endpoint. Forbes said the company is looking to license out FM-VP4. The re-focused pharmaceutical development program will concentrate on the FM-TP series of compounds targeting diseases such as diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and inflammatory lung disease.
