EntreMed's ENMD-2076 Demonstrates Tumor Regression in Human Colon Cancer Model

Date:10/23/2008

s are key regulators of the process of mitosis, or cell division, and are often over-expressed in human cancers. In addition to the Aurora A isoform, ENMD-2076 has been shown to inhibit a distinct profile of angiogenic tyrosine kinase targets. ENMD-2076 is currently in a phase 1 clinical study in advanced cancer patients.

Dr. Mark R. Bray, Vice President Research at EntreMed commented on the presentation, "The exciting work presented by Dr. Tentler and his colleagues underscores the exceptional promise of ENMD-2076 as a novel anticancer therapeutic. Advanced non-invasive imaging using PET and DCE-MRI greatly increased the ability to monitor the antiangiogenic and antiproliferative mechanisms of ENMD-2076. We anticipate employing these techniques in upcoming ENMD-2076 clinical trials. EntreMed is actively pursing development partners for this novel oral anticancer drug candidate."

About EntreMed

EntreMed, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutic candidates primarily for the treatment of cancer and inflammation. MKC-1, an oral cell-cycle regulator with activity against the mTOR pathway, is currently in multiple Phase 2 clinical trials for cancer. ENMD-1198, a novel antimitotic agent, and ENMD-2076, a selective kinase inhibitor, are in Phase 1 studies in advanced cancers. The Company also has an approved IND application for Panzem(R) in rheumatoid arthritis. EntreMed's goal is to develop and commercialize new compounds based on the Company's expertise in angiogenesis, cell cycle regulation, cell signaling and inflammation -- processes vital to the treatment of cancer and other diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
