IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland
BioLabs Not Selected for Defense Contract Award
Company
to Host Conference Call to Discuss Ongoing Development Strategy for Pipeline
of
Compounds
Buffalo,
NY — January 4, 2008 - Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBLI)
today
announced that it was informed by the Department of Defense (DoD) that Protectan
CBLB502, the Company’s candidate for the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI)
effects of acute radiation syndrome was not selected for award under the
request
for proposal (RFP) No. W9113M-07-R-0002, entitled, “Medical Radiation
Countermeasures Development and Delivery.”
The
Company is very surprised by the DoD’s decision and has requested a debriefing
in order to better understand the DoD’s decision. In June 2007, based on the
DoD’s evaluation of the Company's technical and cost proposal, the DoD informed
the Company that its proposal for Protectan CBLB502 was within the competitive
range and invited Cleveland BioLabs for a face-to-face meeting on July 26,
at
which the details of the Company’s proposal were discussed. The DoD reaffirmed
this positive feedback in September 2007, when it requested an additional
amendment asking for an increased development budget, as well as up to 1.5
million doses of a self or buddy-administered countermeasure for use in the
battlefield.
Dr.
Michael Fonstein, Chief Executive Officer and President of Cleveland BioLabs
stated, “Given the aggressive nature and degree of detail of the DoD’s responses
and ensuing negotiations regarding our proposal, we are deeply disappointed
by
this unexpected decision. We intend to further develop CBLB502 and seek FDA
approval and will respond to future DoD solicitations as they are announced.
Cleveland BioLabs’ research has demonstrated CBLB502’s unique ability to
mitigate the damaging effects of ionizing radiation on all major acute radiation
syndromes, including gastrointestinal, as well as to demonstrate significant
survival benefits. In addition, the compound’s safety profile, stability and
method of administration make it highly practical for field deployment, both
for
military and civilian populations.”
Cleveland
BioLabs Chief Scientific Officer, Andrei Gudkov, Ph.D, D. Sci., said, “We
believe our Protectan CBLB502 is quite unique in three particular areas with
strong supporting data: The first is prolonged survival or long-term survival
benefits, which we have demonstrated in both mice and primates; the key FDA
requirements for drug approval under the two-animal efficacy rule. The second
is
protection of the GI tract, which we have demonstrated in two animal species.
The third is its remarkable stability, a significant shelf life and its
suitability for easy self and buddy-administration in battlefield, civilian
or
hospital conditions. Moreover, the technology we developed for CBLB502 allowed
cost-effective production of over 100,000 doses per manufacturing batch under
cGMP conditions, which could provide protection for the numbers of military
forces potentially exposed to radiation from tactical nuclear weapons in
the
field or terrorist attacks directed against civilian populations.”
“We
remain committed to developing Protectan CBLB502 for both defense and medical
uses,” added Dr. Gudkov. “We plan to continue our discussions with the
Department of Health and Human Services and other friendly governments, who
are
interested in its potential to protect against terrorist threats and nuclear
disaster. Our
goal
is to achieve FDA approval for CBLB502 in 2009 and market it as an effective
and
affordable radiation protector for defense use on the battlefield or in first
responder or civilian emergencies.”
Protectan
CBLB502 is undergoing an accelerated development program under the FDA
two-animal rule for defense, which requires demonstrations of efficacy in
two
animal species and only safety in humans. As planned, the Company will submit
an
Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for a human safety study
shortly.
The
Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the DoD awarded Cleveland BioLabs a grant
in
March 2007, to fund ‘development leading to the acquisition’ of Protectan
CBLB502 as a radiation countermeasure, in collaboration with the Armed Forces
Radiobiology Research Institute, which has also received significant independent
funding for work on Protectan CBLB502. The DoD also recently awarded a $1
million grant to the Company’s founding partner, the Cleveland Clinic, to
conduct pre-clinical studies on Protectan CBLB502 for use in tourniquet and
other ligation-reperfusion battlefield injuries where blood flow is stopped
and
then restored after a prolonged period of time.
Potential
medical applications for CBLB502 are broad and include reduction of radiation
therapy side effects in cancer patients, and ischemic diseases such as acute
organ failure, heart disease and stroke. Protectan CBLB502 has shown efficacy
as
a potential adjuvant for radiation therapy in mouse models of sarcoma and
Company researchers in collaboration with investigators from Cleveland Clinic
have demonstrated that a single injection of Protectan CBLB502 effectively
prevents acute renal failure and subsequent death in a mouse model of
ischemia-reperfusion renal injury.
Cleveland
BioLabs’ scientific platform has yielded several other compounds in addition to
Protectan CBLB502. These include other tissue protecting drugs, Protectans,
as
well as anticancer compounds, Curaxins. Among the more advanced of these
compounds is Curaxin CBLC102, an orally administered small molecule designed
to
kill tumor cells in Phase II trials, and Protectan CBLB612, which has
demonstrated strong potential efficacy as a stimulator and mobilizer of
hematopoietic stem cells in peripheral blood.
The
Company will host a conference call to discuss the DoD decision and its ongoing
development strategy today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Interested
parties may participate by dialing 877-407-8033 (US) or 201-689-8033
(International) approximately five to ten minutes before the call start time.
A
live Webcast of the conference call will be available on
the
Cleveland BioLabs Web site at www.cbiolabs.com.
A
replay
of the call will be available starting on January 4, 2008, at 12:00 p.m.
