s annual meeting and scientific exposition,
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on November 4-9, 2008. Dr. Michal
Dranitzki Elhalel, principal nephrologist in the study will present on
Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 4:45 p.m. at the Clinical Nephrology
Conference and Medgenics Senior Scientists will present Medgenics' GMP
vector and Toxicity Study in the Poster Session on Saturday, November 8,
beginning at 10:00 am, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Commenting on the preliminary results, Dr. Andrew Pearlman, Chief
Executive Officer of Medgenics, said:
"While early data from the first two subjects is only a first indicator
from this 30 subject study, we are encouraged that this study will show
that Medgenics' EPODURE Biopump can be used to safely elevate hemoglobin
levels in subjects with chronic kidney disease for three to six months (or
more) from a single implant of one or more Biopumps. We look forward to
reporting further as the study proceeds but, given the data collected and
the apparent lack of an adverse immune response to the technology so far,
we are cautiously optimistic that the trial will support the Directors'
belief in this breakthrough platform technology."
