Cell Therapeutics Exercises Its Option to Sell Interest in Zevalin Joint Venture to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals for $...(patent and administrative governmental a...)

Date:2/20/2009

patent and administrative governmental authorities, competitive factors, technological developments, and costs of developing, producing and selling Zevalin. There is also a risk that even if label expansion of Zevalin is approved, it may not result in a significant market increase for the drug due to the presence of other treatment options, failure to gain market acceptance and other factors. Additionally, the closing of the sale option and receipt of the purchase price assumes that the company will be able to satisfy all of the closing conditions and that Spectrum fulfills its legal obligations to timely deliver the purchase price. Disposition of our interest in Zevalin may not reduce our expenses to the extent as currently projected. You should also review the risk factors listed or described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, the Company's most recent filings on Forms 10-K, 8-K, and 10-Q. Except as may be required by law, CTI does not intend to update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
