Raven biotechnologies to Provide Updates on Oncology Pipeline With Four AACR Presentations
Date:2/12/2008

- Lead Clinical Program and Two Clinical Candidates Featured -

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Raven biotechnologies, inc., a privately held company focused on the discovery and development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics (MAbs) for cancer, announced four abstracts have been selected for presentation at the meeting of American Association for Cancer Research being held in San Diego on April 12-16, 2008.

"We are pleased to have this opportunity to present important data on both RAV12, Raven's lead therapeutic antibody entering Phase 2 development for the treatment of adenocarcinomas and the promising near-term clinical candidates in our oncology pipeline," stated George Schreiner, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer of Raven biotechnologies. "Raven will present significant new data on RAV12 supporting the chemotherapeutic synergies that inform its impending phase 2 trials. In addition, recent discoveries concerning novel epitopes and effector mechanisms associated with two new antibodies targeting cancer stem cells will be presented for the first time. Both antibodies are slated for clinical development. Finally, having advanced the technology to culture cancer stem cells on a sustained basis in vitro, we will present their in vivo biology, using prostate cancer stem cells as an important new model system for understanding the growth and metastasis of human cancer."

The presentations are scheduled as follows:
