ThromboGenics NV - Q3 2009 Busin...(the potential to be a very important new...)

the potential to be a very important new entrant into the anticoagulant market. TB-402 is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody that partially inhibits Factor VIII, a key component of the coagulation cascade. This novel mode of action is expected to reduce the risk of undesirable bleeding events, even at high doses, as well as the need for patient monitoring. These are the two main drawbacks associated with current anticoagulant therapy. In addition, TB-402 is a long-acting agent, which means it could be given as a single dose to prevent the development of DVT in patients undergoing surgery. This would be an attractive option, as all current anticoagulant treatment options require daily treatment for up to several weeks.

ThromboGenics and its partner BioInvent plan to out-license TB-402 for its later stage development and commercialization. This out-licensing strategy is driven by the large sales potential of the product and the broad range of prescribers that could use an anticoagulant with TB-402's unique profile.

    TB-403 (RG7334) - Novel anti-cancer agent partnered with Roche

    - TB-403 Phase Ib results to be presented at the American
      Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Conference
    - ThromboGenics continues to build a strong relationship with Roche

The clinical development of TB-403 is progressing as planned and the results of a Phase Ib trial are to be presented at the AACR conference in Boston, MA USA on November 15-19, 2009. The Phase Ib trial was designed to assess TB-403's tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmaco-dynamics in patients with advanced cancer.

In June 2008, ThromboGenics and its co-development partner BioInvent signed a strategic alliance deal with Roche for its novel anti-cancer agent, TB-403 (anti-PlGF). In January, 2009, ThromboGenics and BioInvent received their first success fee from Roche based on the successful transfer and implementation of technology and
