Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board Recommends Continuation of Sangart's Pivotal Phase III Trials of Hemospan(R) Following Second Interim Review
Date:3/11/2008

SAN DIEGO, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Sangart, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of oxygen transport agents, today announced that an independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) has recommended the continuation of both Phase III clinical trials of Sangart's lead blood substitute product, Hemospan(R), under current protocols.

This recommendation is based on the DSMB's review of the blinded data from the first two-thirds of the 830 patients to be enrolled in two ongoing Phase III pivotal studies in Europe. The DSMB conducted a prior review in December 2007 that concluded positively.

"We are pleased to have a second positive DSMB recommendation as we continue to advance these important Phase III studies," commented Dr. Robert Winslow, Chairman, President and CEO of Sangart.

Hemospan is a hemoglobin-based oxygen transport agent designed to serve as an oxygen therapeutic and as an alternative to blood transfusions. A key property of Hemospan is its high oxygen affinity which results in targeted oxygen delivery to tissues at risk of oxygen deprivation.

The counterintuitive discoveries by Dr. Winslow's group on the effective action of oxygen transport agents have been patented and published in numerous scientific articles. From this experience, Sangart's lead product, Hemospan, was designed using uniqu
