Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2005, VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Greenwich Therapeutics, Inc. (“Greenwich”) and VQ Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The entry into the Merger Agreement was previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 1, 2005 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 8, 2005. Section 7.1 of the Merger Agreement provided that the Agreement could be terminated by either party if the merger is not consummated by August 31, 2005 (the “Outside Date”), provided the party seeking to terminate under such provision was not a principal cause of the failure to consummate the merger and such failure constitutes a breach of the Merger Agreement.

On August 19, 2005, the Company, Greenwich and Merger Sub entered into a First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). The sole purpose of the Amendment was to extend the Outside Date to October 31, 2005.
