Date:6/1/2009

GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Overall survival data in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated with TNFerade(TM) in GenVec's ongoing Phase III Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial with TNFerade(TM) (PACT) were presented yesterday at the 45th American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL.

The poster, entitled "Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Phase III Clinical Trial using TNFerade(TM) with Chemoradiation in Patients with Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: Interim Analysis of Overall Survival," reported on results of an interim analysis from the PACT trial. This interim analysis of overall survival was conducted after the 92nd death (one-third of total expected events) had occurred.

The analysis concluded that TNFerade appeared to be safe and well-tolerated. The analysis also indicated a 25% reduction in the risk of death in the TNFerade plus standard-of-care (SOC) arm compared to the patients receiving SOC alone (Hazard Ratio = 0.75; 95% Confidence Interval [0.494 - 1.15]).

Dr. Mark Thornton, GenVec's Senior Vice President of Product Development commented on the poster, noting, "In the SOC patients, 75% of the patients died within approximately 11.8 months. However, in the TNFerade plus SOC group, 75% of the patients did not die until approximately 19.4 months. Although the data still need time and events to reach maturity, we are encouraged by the survival trend being observed at this point in the trial."
