EX-99 2 oncologixexhib99-040207.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED 03-19-07 EXHIBIT 99 ONCOLOGIX TECH INC. ANNOUNCES SITE SELECTION AND INITIATION OF PRE-CLINICAL (ANIMAL) TESTING OF THE ONCOSPHERE SYSTEM GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(Marketwire) March 19, 2007 - Oncologix Tech Inc.'s (OTC BB: OCLG.OB) wholly owned subsidiary Oncologix Corporation announced today that the Institut de Cardiologie de Montreal (Montreal Heart Institute) and Dr. Raoul Bonan have agreed to provide the facilities, equipment, and expertise necessary to assist Oncologix in performing animal research studies with its Oncosphere System. The studies are required to be completed as part of the data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support a request for initiation of human clinical research. One of Montreal Heart Institute's (MHI) primary missions is to develop and run research and technology development programs related to their expertise in vascular interventions. Given the reputation they have earned in basic and clinical research, they often work with private businesses such as Oncologix. In addition to their expertise in vascular interventions, Dr. Bonan and MHI have teamed with industry in the development of interventional radiation based treatments such as vascular brachytherapy and brachytherapy for atrial flutter and fibrillation, which makes them a uniquely qualified location to conduct animal studies with the Oncosphere System. The first of two animal studies is scheduled to begin in March and both studies should be completed by the end of 2007 for inclusion in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to the FDA requesting approval to begin human trials. Accomplishing these goals continues to keep Oncologix on track with its plan to initiate clinical trials with the Oncosphere System in early 2008 and to gain commercial approval by the end of 2009. According to Adam Lowe, President and COO of Oncologix, "We are extremely pleased to working with Dr. Bonan and the Montreal Heart Institute. We have been fortunate to align ourselves with individuals and organizations like these with a long history of successful medical research and technology development." In addition Stanley L. Schloz, Oncologix Tech Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer, stated "The asset sale of the BestNet phone business to Interactive Media Technologies, Inc was completed March 19, 2007. The company will now focus all of it's energy and resources on it's medical subsidiary, Oncologix Corporation."
