NOTES TO EDITORS:
Medgenics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing its
unique tissue-based Biopump platform technology to provide sustained-action
protein therapy for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases.
Medgenics currently has two products in development based on this technology:
· EPODURE - producing erythropoietin (EPO) to treat anemia
· INFRADURE - producing interferon-alpha (IFN-a) to treat Hepatitis-C
The Company's ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial for EPODURE in anemic patients
continues to demonstrate proof of concept of the Biopump. Designed to produce
and deliver a therapeutic dose of EPO steadily for up to six months or more,
EPODURE Biopumps are already maintaining effective anemia treatment for more
than 5 months in earliest patients in the ongoing study, even with low dose
administered.
Medgenics intends to develop its innovative products and bring them to market
via multiple strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical and/or medical
device companies, starting with EPODURE and INFRADURE.
Medgenics plans to raise the requisite funds during 2009 to enable it to follow
the current trial of EPODURE with a Phase IIb clinical trial in the US starting
in 2010, and in addition, to commence a Phase I/II trial of INFRADURE in
Hepatitis-C patients in Israel also during 2010.
Beyond these, Medgenics plans to develop and/or out-license a pipeline of future
Biopump products targeting the large and rapidly growing global protein therapy
market, which is forecast to reach US $87 billion by 2010. Other potential areas
include multiple sclerosis (interferon-a), hemophilia (Factor VIII), pediatric
growth hormone deficiency (human growth hormone) and diabetes (insulin).
Founded in 2000, Medgenics is a US-incorporated company with major operations in
Misgav, Israel. Medgenics was admitted to the London AIM in December 2007 (AIM:
MEDG and AIM: MEDU).
