Date:3/28/2008

SAN DIEGO, March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Vical Incorporated (Nasdaq: VICL) today announced the company's licensee, AnGes MG, Inc., reported submission on March 27, 2008, of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for its angiogenesis product candidate, Collategene, for treatment of critical limb ischemia.

This product candidate offers a novel approach to addressing an important, unserved medical need in the Japanese market, and has the potential to expand into the much larger markets worldwide. This NDA filing by AnGes is an important milestone in advancing nonviral gene therapy toward regulatory and commercial acceptance."

The NDA submission follows positive results announced in June 2007 following interim analysis of data from the first 41 subjects to complete a Phase 3 trial of Collategene. Based on the findings that the primary efficacy endpoint in the trial had been achieved with statistical significance and that there were no major safety concerns related to treatment, an Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended stopping the trial early to prevent potential e
