AACR 100th Annual Meeting Highlights Superior Ability of InNexus' DXL-Modified Anti-CD20 Antibody to Attach and Kill NHL With Safety Comparable to Approved Antibody Therapies in Preclinical Studies

Date:4/20/2009

-- Key Data are New Releases for the Company Building on Milestones with Recent FDA Meetings and Technology Discoveries --

DENVER, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DXL625 monoclonal antibodies appear to be superior to commercial-stage antibodies in their ability to attach and deplete NHL in late stage pre-clinical studies, according to research conducted at InNexus Biotechnology Inc. (Toronto Stock Exchange: IXS.V, http://www.ixsbio.com), a drug development company commercializing the next generation of monoclonal antibodies based on its Dynamic Cross Linking (DXL(TM)) technology. The potency was achieved with comparable safety even at levels one hundred times that required for therapeutic efficacy, according to several studies presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) 100th Annual Meeting this past weekend. DXL625 is designed to bind CD20, a protein receptor expressed on normal B cells and over-expressed on cancerous B cells.

InNexus has previously announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration had completed its comprehensive review of the development plans for DXL625 (CD20) for the prospective treatment of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and/or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). InNexus' submission included detailed information on plans for a Phase I clinical program, preclinical pharmacology and toxicology data and its current manufacturing plans. The FDA noted at the time that the plans were suitable for the manufacture of Phase I product of DXL625 onsite at InNexus.

"The studies are an important validation of our core drug discovery platform and confirm our ability to significantly advance the state of the art in developing potentially superior biologics for major medical and commercial opportunities," said Jeff Morhet, Chairman and CEO at InNexus.
