VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexington Biosciences, Inc. (CSE: LNB) (OTCQB: LXGTF) (the “Company” or “Lexington”), a development-stage medical device company, is pleased to review activities undertaken during Q3 of 2018.
Over the summer, the Company completed its first phase of clinical testing at Diablo Clinical Research. The results of the study validated safety protocols, provided the Company with critical information for product iteration, algorithm development, and clinical testing protocol refinement in preparation for the upcoming multi-center clinical study series.
During this same period, the Company commenced a brokered private placement offering in Canada that ultimately was unsuccessful due to prevailing market conditions. Currently, the Company has a non-brokered private placement open which is anticipated to close during Q4. As a result of investment market uncertainty, the Company has been operating in capital preservation mode, and as a result, the previously published timelines and strategic planning have been extended.
Currently, the Company is negotiating clinical contracts with multiple study sites in preparation for the commencement of its pivotal series of clinical studies.
Upon the successful conclusion of the upcoming financing round, the second phase of trial activities will be established almost immediately, and a new clinical timeline will be published.

About Lexington Biosciences, Inc. (CSE: LNB / OTCQB: LXGTF)
Lexington Biosciences is a medical device company developing the HeartSentry, a new non-invasive diagnostic device to measure and monitor cardiovascular health by assessing the function of a person’s vascular endothelium - the vital innermost lining of the cardiovascular system. Currently, the standard of care is measurement using expensive external ultrasound by a highly trained technician. The HeartSentry core technology was developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory over a fifteen-year R&D period involving many research studies and product iterations resulting in a portfolio of multiple pending and issued patents licensed to the company. Our aim is to make HeartSentry accurate, quick, and cost effective so it can become the standard of care for cardiologists, general practitioners, and ultimately patients for first line evaluation of a person’s cardiovascular health. Lexington is engaged with the US FDA and other regulatory agencies on the required product approvals for the HeartSentry.
