Item 8.01
Other Events.

On September 9, 2008, VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a determination from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that Xyfid™ (1% uracil topical) is a drug rather than a device and would be regulated with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research as opposed to the Center for Devices and Radiologic Health. Thus, Xyfid is not eligible for marketing clearance pursuant to the 510(k) process, but the Company will continue its parallel development of Xyfid for the prevention of hand-foot syndrome.
 
On September 10, 2008, the Company released the press release filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release is incorporated herein by reference.
