Item 8.01.

Other Events.

Molecular Insight Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) previously reported in its Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that it entered into a Limited Waiver Agreement with holders of at least a majority of the Company’s outstanding Senior Secured Floating Rate Bonds due 2012 and the Bond Indenture trustee and five extensions thereto. Under the terms of the Limited Waiver Agreement and prior extensions, the Bond holders and Bond Indenture trustee have agreed to waive the default arising from the inclusion of a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the independent auditor’s report and other technical defaults under the Bond Indenture until 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on August 2, 2010.

On August 2, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it received a sixth extension of the waiver. The term of the waiver has been extended to until 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on August 16, 2010, subject to earlier termination upon certain circumstances. During this waiver period, the Company will continue discussing with its Bond holders various proposals which generally contemplate, among other things, a deleveraging of the Company through a debt for equity exchange. There are no assurances, however, that such discussions will be successful. A copy of the press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The waiver continues to be subject to a number of terms and conditions relating to the Company’s provision of certain information to the Bond holders, among other conditions and matters. In the event that the waiver extension expires or terminates prior to the successful conclusion of the Company’s negotiations with Bond holders regarding the restructuring of the outstanding debt, then the Company will be in default of its obligations under the Bond Indenture and the Bond holders may choose to accelerate the debt obligations under the Bond Indenture and demand immediate repayment in full and seek to foreclose on the collateral supporting such obligations. If the Company’s debt obligations are accelerated or are not restructured on acceptable terms, it is likely the Company will be unable to repay such obligations and may seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar relief.

Exhibits 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
