The companies will jointly conduct preclinical testing of TLCI-16, with the Liposome Co. responsible for formulation developmentand Schering conducting preclinical studies in animals. Scheringwill provide developmental funding.

TLC I-16 is an imaging agent that is encapsulated within liposomes,using a proprietary process. The product is being developed foruse with CT scans of patients with advanced colon, lung or breastcancer in whom there is suspicion that cancer has metastasizedto the liver.
