d our knowledge and understanding of the unique characteristics of our proprietary platinum prodrug," commented Jeffrey B. Davis, Access' President & CEO. "Following the recent announcement of positive results from the completed phase 2 clinical study in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, and from in vitro data reported previously showing that the anticancer properties of ProLindac are enhanced when used in combination with other anticancer drugs, Access is manufacturing additional supplies of ProLindac for planned combination studies later this year."

Access currently has two development and commercialization partners for ProLindac. A licensing agreement with Jiangsu Aosaikang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("ASK") was signed in 2008 under which ASK will manufacture, develop and commercialize ProLindac for the Greater China Region which includes the People's Republic of China. In February 2009, Access announced it had signed a licensing agreement with JCOM, Ltd for South Korea for both ProLindac and MuGard, its FDA approved therapy for oral mucositis. Under these licensing agreements, Access receives milestone payments and royalties on sales. Access is currently in discussion with potential partners for development and commercialization of ProLindac in additional territories.

About ProLindac(TM):

ProLindac is a novel DACH platinum prodrug which has been shown to be active in a wide variety of solid tumors in both preclinical models and in human trials. Access believes that ProLindac's unique molecular design potentially could eliminate some of the toxic side effects seen in the currently marketed DACH platinum, Eloxatin, which has sales in excess of $2 billion.
