VANCOUVER, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MIGENIX Inc.

UPDATE ON DRUG DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Omiganan 1% gel (Omigard(TM)/CPI-226/MX-226; topical cationic peptide;
prevention of catheter-related infections): Cadence Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
("Cadence"), our development and commercialization partner, has today

Central Line Infection Reduction Study ("CLIRS") Phase III trial and that
these discussions, which are being conducted under a Special Protocol
Assessment, must be completed prior to unblinding the data from the trial.
As a result, Cadence revised its guidance for reporting the results of the
CLIRS trial from the fourth quarter of calendar 2008 to the first quarter
