GeoVax Labs Requests pre-IND Meeting With FDA
Date:9/21/2009

ATLANTA, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GOVX) (the "Company"), an Atlanta-based, biopharmaceutical company developing human vaccines for diseases caused by HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and other infectious agents, today announced that it has requested a pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss a proposed IND for GeoVax's therapeutic vaccine as a treatment for individuals infected with HIV/AIDS.

The FDA has 60 days from our submission to review our proposal and respond with questions or comments," stated Robert McNally, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer.

Current costs for oral medications and the numerous side effects of these drugs give further urgency to the need for a therapeutic vaccine," noted Dr. McNally.

A new IND with the FDA is required since this will be the first time the GeoVax vaccine will be used for a therapeutic application. The Phase 1 therapeutic protocol stresses safety parameters to minimize any risk to the volunteers. The protocol, conceived with collaboration from ARCA (AIDS Research Consortium of Atlant
