Recent Accomplishments
In the first quarter of 2008, we continued to progress our development
pipeline in all three therapeutic areas of focus, including:
-- Announced positive preliminary results for RDEA806, our lead non-
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), in a Phase 2a
monotherapy study in patients with human-immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
demonstrating an up to 2.0 log placebo-adjusted reduction in plasma
viral load after seven days of treatment;
-- Completed a first-in-human micro-dosing study of our second generation
NNRTI, RDEA427, and selected it as a development candidate;
-- Completed a first-in-human micro-dosing study of our second generation
MEK inhibitor, RDEA436, and selected it as a development candidate;
-- Presented preclinical data demonstrating potent activity and favorable
resistance profiles for our next generation NNRTI family of compounds
against HIV at the 15th Annual Conference on Retroviruses and
Opportunistic Infections (CROI) and the 21st International Conference
on Antiviral Research (ICAR);
-- Presented preclinical data demonstrating the potent activity and
favorable pharmacokinetic profile of our mitogen-activated ERK kinase
(MEK) inhibitor family of compounds in the treatment of cancer,
preliminary Phase 1 data demonstrating the potential for once-daily
oral dosing of RDEA119, our lead MEK inhibitor, and first-in-human
micro-dose data for RDEA436, at the American Association for Cancer
Research (AACR);
-- Established two scientific advisory boards to guide the HIV and
inflammation programs; and
