Ultrasound contrast developer Acusphere has entered into a lease agreement for 58,000 square feet of commercial manufacturing space in Tewksbury, MA. The Watertown, MA-based vendor said it intends to develop the facility to meet its anticipated initial commercial production needs for its AI-700 ultrasound contrast agent.

AI-700 is in phase III clinical trials, and is designed for the detection of coronary heart disease. Acusphere said it currently manufactures the agent outside of Massachusetts.
