                                                                   Exhibit 10.26

                            FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE

         THIS FIRST AMENDMENT OF LEASE (this "AMENDMENT") is made as of the
8th day of October, 2004 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), by BHX, LLC, a Massachusetts
limited liability company, as Trustee of First Binney Realty Trust
("LANDLORD"), and EPIX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation,
formerly known as Epix Medical, Inc. ("TENANT").

                                    RECITALS

         A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to a Lease, dated as of September
30, 2003 (the "LEASE"), pursuant to which Landlord has leased to Tenant space in
the building located at and commonly known as 161 First Street, Cambridge,
Massachusetts. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in
the Lease and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings
given in the Lease.

         B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to add to the Premises
approximately 4,427 leasable square feet of space on the second floor of the
Building (the "ADDITIONAL SPACE"), as depicted on EXHIBIT B hereto, on and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

                             STATEMENT OF AMENDMENT

         For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

         1. ADDITION OF ADDITIONAL SPACE. The Additional Space shall be added to
the Premises, on and subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  a. TIMING. The Additional Space shall be added to the Premises
as of the Effective Date. However, Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to
the Additional Space will not commence until January 1, 2005 (the "EXPANSION
DATE"). Tenant's use and occupancy of the Additional Space from the Effective
Date until the Expansion Date shall be on and subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Lease (as amended hereby), other than the obligation to pay
Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Additional Space for such period.

                  b. ADDITIONAL SPACE IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall deliver the
Additional Space to Tenant on the Effective Date, as is, but in broom clean
condition and free of any occupants, and Landlord shall not have any obligation
to make any alterations or improvements to the Additional Space; provided,
however, that Landlord shall cause the building systems serving the Additional
Space to be in good operating condition and operationally in compliance with
applicable laws as of the Effective Date. Tenant may make alterations and
improvements to the Additional Space ("ADDITIONAL SPACE IMPROVEMENTS"), on and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.5 of the Lease.
Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant
may make Additional Space Improvements only in accordance with plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and Landlord will respond to any request by Tenant for approval of
plans and specifications for Additional Space Improvements within five (5)
business days after submittal by Tenant. Unless, as a condition of approving
plans and specifications for Additional Space Improvements, Landlord requires
removal of such Additional Space Improvements upon termination of the Lease,
Tenant will not be required to remove Additional Space Improvements upon
termination of the Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of designing
and performing any Additional Space Improvements, subject to application of the
Redecorating Allowance (as defined in Section 1c of this Amendment) and, if
applicable, the Supplemental Allowance (as defined in Section 1d of this
Amendment).

                  c. REDECORATING ALLOWANCE. Landlord shall provide to Tenant an
allowance (the "REDECORATING ALLOWANCE") not to exceed $22,135.00 ($5.00 per
square foot) to pay or reimburse Tenant for actual out-of-pocket costs incurred
by Tenant not later than six months after the Expansion Date to

<PAGE>

carpet and/or paint the Additional Space. Disbursement of the Redecorating
Allowance to pay or reimburse Tenant for such costs shall be conditioned on the
subject work having been performed in accordance with the Lease, shall be
subject to Landlord's approval of a written request for payment with supporting
invoices, and shall be made by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
receipt of written request with supporting invoices. Landlord may inspect the
subject work as a condition of making any requested disbursement of the
Redecorating Allowance to confirm the performance of such work.

                  d. SUPPLEMENTAL ALLOWANCE. At the written request of Tenant
made prior to the Expansion Date, Landlord shall provide to Tenant an allowance
(the "SUPPLEMENTAL ALLOWANCE") in an amount up to $66,405.00 ($15.00 per square
foot) to pay or reimburse Tenant for actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Tenant not later than six months after the Expansion Date to design and perform
Additional Space Improvements. The Supplemental Allowance, if requested by
Tenant, shall be in addition to the Redecorating Allowance. Disbursement of the
Supplemental Allowance to pay or reimburse Tenant for such costs shall be
conditioned on the subject Additional Space Improvements having been performed
in accordance with the Lease, shall be subject to Landlord's approval of a
written request for payment with supporting invoices, and shall be made by
Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of written request
with supporting invoices. Landlord may inspect the subject Additional Space
Improvements as a condition of making any requested disbursement of the
Supplemental Allowance to confirm the performance of such Additional Space
Improvements. If Landlord provides the Supplemental Allowance as provided above,
then the monthly Base Rent for the Additional Space from the Expansion Date
through the remainder of the Initial Term shall be increased by the amount on
the monthly payment of principal and interest which would fully amortize the
amount of the Supplemental Allowance provided by Landlord, together with
interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, in equal monthly payments
over such period.

                  e. BASE RENT. Base Rent for the Additional Space from the
Expansion Date through the remainder of the Initial Term shall be as follows
(subject to increase on the basis of any Supplemental Allowance provided by
Landlord as provided in Section 1d of this Amendment):
