ATLANTA, April 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of purchasers of Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cell Therapeutics" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CTIC) common stock who purchased shares between May 5, 2009 and February 8, 2010 (the "Class Period").

Any such request must satisfy certain criteria and be made no later than May 11, 2010. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. If you are a Cell Therapeutics investor with losses exceeding $50,000 from investing in Cell Therapeutics common stock and would like to discuss a potential lead plaintiff appointment, or your rights and interests with respect to the lawsuit, you may contact Michael I.
