About BioVex

BioVex is a privately held biotechnology Company based in Woburn. MA. The Company is developing a new class of potent biologics for the treatment of cancer and prevention of infectious disease.

The Company's lead cancer technology platform, OncoVEX GM-CSF, is an unpartnered, first-in-class oncolytic, or cancer destroying virus technology. OncoVEX GM-CSF works by: 1) replicating and spreading within solid tumors, causing the death of cancer cells; while 2) stimulating the immune system to destroy metastatic deposits. Both modes of action have been clearly validated in the clinic, where multiple patients with metastatic disease progressing at enrollment have been declared disease free. BioVex believes OncoVEX GM-CSF has the potential to become a leading standard of care in the treatment of many solid tumors based on the strength of clinical data generated to date, coupled with a benign side effect profile.

BioVex is currently completing a Phase II clinical trial of OncoVEX GM-CSF for melanoma and Phase I/II clinical trials for head & neck cancer and pancreatic cancer. The Company recently announced that the FDA has approved the design of a single, pivotal Phase III clinical trial evaluating OncoVEX GM-CSF in previously treated patients with metastatic melanoma under the Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) procedure and plans to make a second SPA submission for head & neck cancer later in the year.

The Company's second program is a vaccine for genital herpes, ImmunoVEX HSV2, which provides complete protection in animal models of the disease. A Phase I study with ImmunoVEX HSV2 is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2008.
