effects. These data, along with the significant improvements on bioavailability and pharmacodynamic effects with PI-2301, provide further evidence that PI-2301 may replace Copaxone as first-line therapy in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis," stated Thomas P. Mathers, President and CEO of Peptimmune. "We have designed PI-2301 to maximize the therapeutic benefit of a proven, safe compound class in multiple sclerosis as well as increasing patients' convenience."

PI-2301 is a second generation peptide copolymer from a similar compound class as Copaxone. PI-2301 works through immune modulation by enhancing the regulatory response of the immune system to control the pathogenic autoimmune response in certain diseases. PI-2301 has been optimized using Peptimmune's novel platform peptide chemistry and in pre-clinical studies, has shown to be more potent and effective than Copaxone in treating disease models for multiple sclerosis. PI-2301 has also shown efficacy in pre-clinical models of autoimmune diseases where immune modulation may be effective, such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune uveitis. Peptimmune has also introduced highly reproducible manufacturing methods that allow very strict control and characterization of PI-2301 and should provide a superior level of batch to batch consistency.

Over 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis (MS), and MS may affect over 2.5 million individuals worldwide. MS is an autoimmune disease in which the individuals' immune system responds against multiple components of nerve-insulating myelin. The effects of these immune-mediated attacks can range from relatively benign to somewhat disabling to devastating, as communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted.
