Biopure Announces Publication of Phase II Proof-of-Concept Coronary Trial
Date:5/14/2008

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Biopure Corporation (Nasdaq: BPUR) today announced that the results from its Phase II coronary revascularization trial have been published in the peer-reviewed EuroIntervention Journal. The paper is entitled "Proof-of-concept trial to evaluate haemoglobin based oxygen therapeutics in elective percutaneous coronary revascularization.

The COR-0002 trial is a single-blind, open-label, single-center, cross- over pilot study where subjects underwent coronary balloon occlusion, with and without oxygenated HBOC-201. The primary objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that intracoronary infusion of HBOC-201 during brief, total coronary artery occlusion would preserve left ventricular function. The primary endpoints in COR-0002 were left ventricular diastolic relaxation indices as assessed by left ventricular pressure-volume loops and ST segment changes as assessed via electrocardiograms.

The study concluded that HBOC-201 was indeed capable of preserving left ventricular function, likely through mainte
