Human Genome Sciences Announces $40 Million Milestone Payment Related to Albuferon(R) Development

Date:8/28/2007

on of its two key lead drugs, Albuferon for hepatitis C and LymphoStat-B(R) (belimumab) for lupus. Phase 3 clinical trials of both drugs are under way.

In June 2006, HGS announced that the U.S. government exercised its option under an existing contract to purchase 20,000 doses of ABthrax(TM) (raxibacumab) for the treatment of anthrax disease. Other HGS drugs in clinical development include two TRAIL receptor antibodies for the treatment of hematologic and solid malignancies.
