COMPETITION We are aware of several companies
Post# of 178
We are aware of several companies that have developed competing products to address soft tissue cancers: DS Nordion a Canadian company whose microsphere product is named "Therasphere”; Sirtex, an Australian company with approximately $11,000,000 in assets, whose microsphere product is named "SIR-Spheres"; and pSivida , a British company.
We believe that other companies are capable of developing technology that could, if embodied in a suitable product, compete with the IUTM product. We also believe that one of those companies may have developed specifications for such a product but that its plans for further development are now dormant. As with any technology-based product, there is a risk that other, more advanced, products will appear on the market.
