Human Genome Sciences Announces Full Presentation of Quality-of-Life Results From Phase 2b Trial of Albuferon(R) for Hepatitis C
Date:11/5/2007

atment, changes in mental health as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) had recovered to baseline in 67% of the patients taking Albuferon 900 mcg, compared with 57% of the peginterferon alfa-2a patients.

The treatment group taking Albuferon 1200 mcg every two weeks also recorded fewer lost days of work and less impairment of health-related quality of life on treatment than was reported for the peginterferon alfa-2a group.

About Albuferon

Albuferon is a novel long-acting form of interferon alpha created by HGS using its proprietary albumin fusion technology. Albuferon results from the genetic fusion of human albumin and interferon alpha. Human albumin is the most prevalent naturally occurring blood protein in the human circulatory system, persisting in circulation in the body for more than 20 days. Research shows that genetic fusion of therapeutic proteins to human albumin decreases clearance and prolongs the half-life of the proteins. Recombinant interferon alpha is approved for the treatment of hepatitis C, hepatitis B and a number of cancers.

Albuferon is being developed by HGS and Novartis for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C under a worldwide co-development and commercialization agreement entered into in June 2006. HGS and Novartis will co-commercialize Albuferon in the United States and will share clinical development costs, U.S. commercialization costs and U.S. profits equally. Novartis will be responsible for commercialization in the rest of the world and will pay HGS a royalty on those sales. Clinical development, commercial milestone and other payments to HGS could total as much as $507.5 million, including $132.5 million received to date.
