Date:8/24/2011

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kibow Biotech, Inc. today announced that it has renewed its exclusive worldwide licensing and marketing agreement with the current licensing partner specializing in animal health. The agreement concerns "Azodyl™," a patented, 100% natural, probiotic dietary supplement indicated for the reduction of azotemia in dogs and cats with moderate to severe renal failure. Developed by Kibow, Azodyl™ has been successfully marketed and sold mainly in USA and Canada since July 2006.

Kibow intends to utilize a major portion of the $2.4 million funding secured for testing a similar, patented, probiotic dietary supplement intended for human consumption. This flagship product, known as "Kibow Biotics™," is targeted towards kidney health and helps improve the quality of life in chronic kidney failure (CKF) patients who also adhere to their routine standardized care of treatment for their pre-existing medical conditions.

Kibow's human clinical trials, involving dialysis and pre-dialysis patients, have already been initiated at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA and at Downstate Medical Center/Kings County Hospitals, State University of New York (SUNY), Brooklyn, NY. Another trial, to be conducted at Mayo clinic, Rochester, MN is soon to begin.
