On January 9, 2017 Atossa Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS) reported that it is transferring the site of its Phase 2 study of fulvestrant administered with its patented microcatheters in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ or breast cancer who are scheduled for lumpectomy or mastectomy (Press release, Atossa Genetics, JAN 9, 2017, View Source [SID1234517340]). The study was initiated at Columbia University Medical Center Breast Cancer Programs (New York) and is now being transferred to Montefiore Medical Center in New York. This move comes about as the principal investigator, Dr. Sheldon M. Feldman, M.D., has relocated to Montefiore and is now Chief, Division of Breast Surgery & Breast Surgical Oncology, Director, Breast Cancer Services, and Professor, Department of Surgery, at the Montefiore Medical Center, The University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Einstein Center for Cancer Care.

Dr. Steve Quay, President and CEO, commented, "We look forward to continuing our Phase 2 study at Montefiore, which is a nationally-ranked, top hospital. Although enrollment in the study has been slower than we expected, particularly as the study site is being moved, we expect that Montefiore’s large hospital system and leading breast cancer care center will facilitate faster enrollment, which we now anticipate completing by August 2017."
