Favrille Announces Data Cutoff for Phase 3 Registration Trial of Specifid; Data Analysis and Unblinding Expect...( SAN DIEGO April 9 2008 /- Favrill...),Health

SAN DIEGO, April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Favrille, Inc. (Nasdaq: FVRL), a biopharmaceutical company developing patient-specific, active immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, announced today that it has reached the data cutoff date for the Company's Phase 3 registration trial of Specifid(TM) (mitumprotimut-T, formerly FavId(R)) following Rituxan(R) in patients with follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). As of the data cutoff date, 205 of the 349 patients randomized have experienced disease progression (relapsed) according to investigator determination. Final analysis will be based on a central radiology assessment of the patients' CT scans. Unblinding of the data is expected to occur in June 2008.

Median follow-up for ongoing patients is 31 months from randomization (range 21 to 41 months), or approximately 34 months from the initiation of Rituxan treatment (range 24 to 44 months). Based on the protocol's assumptions, this range of follow-up would provide sufficient power to detect a significant difference between the two arms for time to progression (TTP), the primary endpoint in the trial.

"We believe the design and execution of this registration trial have positioned us well for success," said John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Favrille. "Based on the status of patients at data cutoff and our assumptions about the behavior of the control arm in this trial, we are very encouraged that the upcoming analysis will provide an outcome which is both clinically and statistically significant.
