Kane Biotech and the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research Sign Cooperative Research and Development Agreement Extension

Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX-V:KNE), a biotechnology company engaged in the development and commercialization of products that prevent and remove microbial biofilms, is pleased to announce a three year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) extension has been signed with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) in Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The primary objective of this collaboration on "Treatments to Prevent Biofilm Formation for Promoting Wound Healing" is to develop an antibiofilm-antimicrobial wound gel formulation and test the said gel formulation to address the needs of the United States Army Dental and Trauma Research Detachment's (USADTRD) programs and that can be readily translated into clinical testing for improving the outcomes of wounded casualties.

The mission of USADTRD is to provide military relevant research and solutions to treat and rehabilitate craniomaxillofacial trauma and prevent infectious disease. The USADTRD's Biofilm Impaired Wound Healing program focuses on providing algorithms to understand biofilm pathophysiology and test agents useful to treat not only dental biofilm (plaque) and combat wounds-associated biofilm infections, but also to provide antimicrobials for the control of dental plaque-associated oral infections.
