Poniard Pharmaceuticals to Present at the 4th Annual Moores UCSD Cancer Center Translational Oncology Symposium
Date:7/31/2008

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Poniard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PARD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology, today announced that the Company will present information on platinum resistance at the Fourth Annual Moores UCSD Cancer Center Translational Oncology Symposium on Friday, August 1, in San Diego.

Neela Patel, Ph.D., director of preclinical and translational medicine for Poniard Pharmaceuticals, will present on the topic of "Molecular Mechanisms of Platinum Resistance" at 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Jerry McMahon, Ph.D., chairman and chief executive officer, will participate in the symposia's concluding panel discussion at 3:15 p.m. Pacific Time.

"Each year, 300,000 cancer patients in the United States are treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy, and most relapse after initial treatment," said Dr. McMahon. "Therefore, intrinsic or acquired resistance to platinums is a significant treatment issue. Picoplatin, our lead product candidate, was designed to overcome platinum resistance, and we are exploring the use of genetic markers of platinum resistance to optimize patient treatment."
