Conference Call and Webcast Today

TIME-1 is a pivotal Phase 3 trial comparing tanespimycin in combination with bortezomib (Velcade(R)) with bortezomib alone in patients following a single prior course of treatment (first-relapse). Kosan has completed both a Special Protocol Assessment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and a Scientific Advice process with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the centralized European Medicines Agency, thus, providing what the company believes is a validated path to registration in many major world markets for the TIME-1 trial. TIME-1 is the most advanced Hsp90 inhibitor clinical program in the industry, underscoring the company's leadership in this new class of anticancer therapies.

The TIME registration program is designed to include two trials: a pivotal Phase 3 trial (TIME-1) and a smaller supportive trial. The TIME-1 trial is proceeding on track and remains the foundation of the company's registration strategy.

TIME-2 had been designed to support TIME-1 for full appr
