Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. Presents Dosing Rationale for Viprinex(TM) (ancrod) at the European Stroke Conference
Wednesday May 14, 8:15 am ET

NICE, France, May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI®) (Nasdaq: NTII - News) reported for the first time at the European Stroke Conference detailed analyses supporting the dosing regimen in NTI's two ongoing Phase 3 studies of Viprinex(TM) (ancrod) for ischemic stroke. The company also provided information as to why it believes these studies are more likely to be successful in treating ischemic stroke than previous Phase 3 clinical trials conducted by others using the same snake venom-derived agent.

David E. Levy, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development at NTI, presented his retrospective analysis of data from the prior North American and European Phase 3 stroke trials of Viprinex involving more than 1,700 patients. Viprinex has been shown to rapidly reduce blood levels of fibrinogen, an important agent involved in blood clotting and blood viscosity. Elevated fibrinogen levels are a risk factor for stroke and may be associated with greater stroke disability. Prior studies with Viprinex that target fibrinogen have shown a benefit from this approach.

"The prior studies of Viprinex showed improved efficacy, but used a dosing regimen that infused the drug over five to seven days, which kept fibrinogen levels low for too long, compromising safety," said Dr. Levy, the key presenter. "NTI has changed the treatment paradigm to a single, three-hour intravenous dose designed to reduce fibrinogen levels quickly, while avoiding the prolonged low fibrinogen levels that were tried previously. Stopping the infusion after three hours permits fibrinogen to return to normal levels much faster than when the drug is given over five to seven days."

Dosing in the successful North American Phase 3 trial was compared to dosing in the unsuccessful European Phase 3 trial. The analyses showed that European patients initially infused with Viprinex at the most rapid rate had statistically significant efficacy with Viprinex versus placebo. The analysis also showed that patients across both studies whose mean fibrinogen levels were kept above a certain threshold over the entire five to seven day treatment period had a rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage that was substantially lower than in those with lower mean fibrinogen levels over the same five to seven day period. These data suggest that rapid initial lowering of fibrinogen is associated with better efficacy, but for safety purposes fibrinogen should be allowed to return back up to its higher level after treatment.

"Viprinex, a novel Fibrinogen Reducing Agent, is an enzyme that reduces levels of fibrinogen, the primary protein involved in blood clotting," said Warren W. Wasiewski, M.D., Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. and a second author of the retrospective analysis. "Reducing fibrinogen in the blood lowers blood viscosity, which may improve blood flow. Additionally, as the fibrinogen is broken down, natural mechanisms are activated to dissolve blood clots that have already formed. Since Viprinex acts in the blood for a longer period of time than existing therapies for treatment of stroke, the effect of Viprinex on brain blood flow should be sustained longer. We believe that a single infusion of Viprinex would be better than a prolonged infusion for treating ischemic stroke."

Previous studies have shown that Viprinex can be effective when administered up to six hours after the onset of stroke symptoms, which could significantly expand the number of people who can be treated. The only currently approved drug therapy for ischemic stroke is limited to a three-hour window.

With more than 700,000 patients experiencing stroke each year in the United States, and existing therapies limited to the first three hours after onset of stroke symptoms, there is a substantial unmet medical need to increase treatment options that are safe and effective to more stroke patients.

The Ancrod Stroke Program I and II studies are Phase 3 clinical trials currently underway at sites in the United States, various European countries, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Taiwan.

Neurobiological Technologies Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
Monday May 12, 7:00 am ET
- Conference Call at 10:30 a.m. ET, May 13 -

EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI®) (Nasdaq: NTII - News) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter and the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $3.7 million compared to $4.9 million for the same three months last year.

Research and development expenses were $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $7.7 million for the same quarter last year. General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.7 million in the same period last year.

The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $5.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.4 million, or $1.04 per share, for the third quarter of 2007.

Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $11.2 million compared to $13.7 million in the same period of 2007. Research and development expenses were $18.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $19.2 million for the same period of 2007. General and administrative expenses were $5.3 million for the nine months ended March 31 compared to expenses of $4.7 million for the same period in 2007. The net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $12.9 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to a net loss of $9.9 million, or $2.35 per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $34.6 million at March 31, 2008, and long-term investments were $11.7 million, totaling $46.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, NTI wrote-down the value of its auction rate securities, which are now classified as long-term investments, by approximately $1.8 million based on uncertainties in the credit markets.

"We are very pleased to have recently and successfully passed our fifth Data Safety Monitoring Board assessment of the Viprinex(TM) phase 3 clinical trials that are currently underway," stated Paul E. Freiman, president and chief executive officer of NTI. "In addition, during the quarter we signed an agreement with the Buck Institute for Age Research that provides us development rights to an exciting compound in early development for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease. We also amended our agreement with Merz Pharmaceuticals and Children's Medical Center Corporation, effectively lengthening the term for which they are committed to pay us royalties on the sales of memantine, although at a lower rate than we received previously."

"Looking forward, we are excited about the prospects for our key asset, Viprinex, which has the potential to be the first new drug approved for the treatment of stroke in over ten years," continued Mr. Freiman. "Our main focus as a company is the development of this drug candidate, and the development of this asset is where substantially all of our operating funds are being spent. We believe Viprinex has the potential to double the treatment window over the current approved drug, while at the same time reducing the major side effect of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage."

Celtic Pharma Provides Update on XERECEPT(R) Clinical Program
Wednesday December 5, 7:45 am ET

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTII - News; NTI®) today announced that Celtic Pharmaceutical Holdings L.P. ("Celtic Pharma") presented interim results for XERECEPT® at the Annual Meeting for the Society of Neuro-Oncology.

Paul Freiman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTI, stated, "We are pleased with our continuing involvement in the development of XERECEPT and the prospects for this drug, which is so urgently needed."

On December 4, 2007, Celtic Pharma, which acquired the rights and assets related to XERECEPT from NTI in November 2005, issued the following press release:

"New York, London and Bermuda, December 4, 2007 - Celtic Pharmaceutical Holdings L.P. ("Celtic Pharma") today reported interim study results for XERECEPT® (human corticotropin-releasing factor (hCRF)), which were presented at the 12th Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuro-Oncology ("SNO"), and provided an update on the XERECEPT® clinical development program.

"In a poster presentation at the SNO annual meeting, which took place in Dallas, Texas on November 15-18, 2007, Celtic Pharma disclosed interim results of an on-going, open-label extension trial, which is evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of XERECEPT® as a new potential treatment for Peritumoral Brain Edema ("PBE"), or tumor-related brain swelling. The data presented at SNO demonstrated that 20 of the first 32 patients enrolled received XERECEPT® daily for at least 20 weeks. XERECEPT® was well- tolerated. Nine of the 20 patients discontinued dexamethasone altogether, and steroid side effects were resolved or improved in the majority of patients who received a reduced dexamethasone dose. The trial is currently enrolling eligible patients with primary or secondary (metastatic) brain tumors who have already completed one of two Phase III randomized, double-blind trials of XERECEPT® currently underway at 27 centers in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

""Side effects of high-dose corticosteroid treatment have a devastating effect on quality-of-life and potentially on life expectancy, and any option that significantly reduces the use of dexamethasone would be a major benefit to patients," said Dr. Patrick O'Connor, Head of Clinical Development at Celtic Pharma. "The interim data presented at SNO are promising and we remain optimistic about the prospects for XERECEPT®."

"Celtic Pharma also announced plans to initiate an imaging study, CPDS 0701, to assess more directly the effects of XERECEPT® on PBE. Sequential brain scans from some glioblastoma patients being treated with XERECEPT® suggest reduction of edema. The imaging study will aim to establish whether this observation can be substantiated over a larger patient population. The multicenter, open-label, randomized study will investigate the efficacy and safety of XERECEPT® for the reduction of PBE in patients with primary or metastatic brain tumors. The study is targeted to begin enrolling patients in early 2008 at investigational sites in the United States and Canada.

"Separately, Celtic Pharma announced the discontinuation of enrollment in study NTI 0302, a Phase III randomized, double-blind study comparing XERECEPT® to dexamethasone in first line treatment of symptoms associated with PBE in patients newly diagnosed with primary malignant glioma. The decision to discontinue enrollment for this trial was due to slower than anticipated recruitment and Celtic Pharma's conclusion that the new CPDS 0701 imaging study would be a more important contributor to the overall robustness of the XERECEPT® development program. No safety issues prompted this decision. The decision is unrelated to the on-going NTI 0303 Phase III study, which is now close to completing recruitment and is expected to reach final data analysis and conclusions in 2008.

"XERECEPT® is an investigational new drug that may present a steroid- sparing alternative to dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is the only treatment currently available for PBE, but this corticosteroid is associated with debilitating side effects, including vision problems, muscle and bone loss, irritability, impaired wound healing and opportunistic infections."

NTI sold the worldwide rights and assets related to XERECEPT to Celtic Pharma in November 2005. NTI is entitled to receive milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory objectives and, if XERECEPT, is approved for commercial sale, NTI is entitled to receive profit-sharing payments on sales in the United States and royalties on sales elsewhere in the world.

Buck Institute and Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. Partner to Develop Treatment for Huntington's Disease
Monday December 3, 7:30 am ET
Protein shows multiple treatment benefits in model systems

EMERYVILLE, Calif., and NOVATO, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI®) (Nasdaq: NTII - News) and the Buck Institute for Age Research (Buck) today announced they have formed a partnership to develop a drug to treat Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal hereditary brain disorder that affects approximately 30,000 Americans. The research involves fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), a naturally occurring protein that has been studied extensively for its neuroprotective properties.

Scientists at the Buck have used FGF-2, in both cell-based and animal models of HD. After being treated with FGF-2, mice with HD showed a 150 percent increase in new nerve cells, compared to a 30 percent increase in non-HD mice. Treatment with FGF-2 extended the lifespan of the affected mice by 20 percent; the animals also exhibited improved motor performance, decreased cell death and a reduction in the amount of toxic aggregates that typically form in the brains of those affected by HD. Buck scientists will now seek to create a form of FGF-2 that can be moved into human clinical trials.

"We are proud to be working with Buck on this project," said Paul E. Freiman, President and CEO of NTI. "We look forward to applying our expertise in drug development to this partnership and working to bring this important research from the lab to the patient."

"The fact that FGF-2 has such dramatic effects specifically in HD models and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier shows exciting promise as potential new therapy for HD," said Remy Gross, Buck Institute Director of Business Development. "We are very pleased that NTI has recognized the unmet need among those facing HD; we look forward to working with them in this partnership."

There is currently no effective treatment or cure for HD, which is typically characterized by involuntary movements and dementia. The disease slowly diminishes a person's ability to move, think and communicate. Those affected eventually become totally dependent on others for their care and usually die from complications such as choking, heart failure or infection. The disease is hereditary; each child of a person with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the fatal gene. Approximately 200,000 Americans are believed to be at risk of developing HD, a disease that affects as many people as hemophilia, cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy. The symptoms of HD typically begin to appear in mid-life, although the progression of the disease varies among individuals and within the same family.

About the Buck Institute:

The Buck Institute is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to extending the healthspan, the healthy years of each individual's life. The National Institute of Aging designated the Buck a Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Biology of Aging, one of just five centers in the country. Buck Institute scientists work in an innovative, interdisciplinary setting to understand the mechanisms of aging and to discover new ways of detecting, preventing and treating age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cancer, stroke, and arthritis. Collaborative research at the Institute is supported by genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics technology. For more information: http://www.buckinstitute.org.
