The Company continues to invest in the development of natural-source potential products particularly for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, the protection against infectious diseases in poultry products, disease states associated with inflammation, and protection against ionizing Radiation, as well as other health and wellness conditions.

Ongoing Quigley Pharma research and development initiatives include investing in its key pharmaceutical formulations, QR-333, an investigational new drug for treating conditions associated with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. The Company is in the midst of a Phase II (b) clinical study for QR-333, which is a key segment of the Company's strategic initiatives to generate future growth.
During the third quarter of 2008, Quigley Pharma announced positive results of its study to determine the duration of the anti-viral effect of QR448(a), a veterinary anti-viral compound against Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) in commercial broiler chickens, a consumer meat type bird. QR448(a) also prevented the transmission of IBV from infected to non-infected 2 week old commercial broiler chickens, a consumer meat type bird.
