Pharmacopeia Initiates Second Phase 2 Hypertension Study with PS433540 (DARA)
Date:3/3/2008

Phase 2b Trial to Examine Safety and Efficacy of DARA versus Active Control

PRINCETON, N.J., March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmacopeia (Nasdaq: PCOP), an innovator in the discovery and development of novel small molecule therapeutics, today announced the initiation of a Phase 2b clinical study of PS433540, the company's lead internal product candidate. This randomized, double-blind, placebo and active-controlled, parallel-group study is designed to evaluate the compound's safety and efficacy at three different doses in subjects with Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension.

After a lead-in period, the multi-center trial is expected to randomize approximately 375 subjects into five study arms receiving PS433540 (200 mg, 400 mg or 800 mg); irbesartan (300 mg), an angiotensin II receptor antagonist; or placebo. All doses will be administered once daily for 12 weeks. The trial's primary objective is to compare the change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure for each dose of PS433540 with placebo. Additional study objectives include comparisons of changes in blood pressure for each dose of PS433540 with irbesartan.

"We are pleased with the DARA program's rapid progress. This is our second Phase 2 study of PS433540 in hypertensive patients to provide key indications of the compound's therapeutic potential," said Les Browne, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pharmacopeia. "We look forward to the completion of this study by the end of 2008 as well as the reporting of results from our on-going Phase 2a trial in the second quarter of 2008."

Pharmacopeia recently completed enrollment in its ongoing Phase 2a trial of PS433540 in patients with Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension. Results from that study
