Abraxis BioScience Presents Pre-Clinical Findings That Support Role,of SPARC Expression in Cancer and the Role of the Nanoparticle,Albumin Bound (nab) Technology Platform in Targeting the Pathway

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 19, 2007 - Abraxis BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABBI), an integrated, global biopharmaceutical company, announced results from two pre-clinical studies that support the role of SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine) expression in cancer and Abraxis' nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab(TM)) tumor-targeting technology at the 98th American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting held April 14-18, 2007 in Los Angeles.

"Both pre-clinical studies evaluating the role of SPARC expression provide strong evidence in support of the mechanism of action for our nab-technology therapeutic candidates," said Neil P. Desai, Ph.D., vice president of research and development at Abraxis BioScience. "By leveraging the natural properties of albumin, nab-technology allows for the transport and delivery of higher concentrations of anticancer agent directly to the tumor without the use of toxic solvents. Both pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that this may lead to an increase in the drug's antitumor effect without increasing side effects."

The first of two pre-clinical studies demonstrated that SPARC is an albumin-binding protein and that the level of the SPARC expression could be correlated with the response of tumors to nab-paclitaxel. This provides concrete support for the earlier hypothesis that higher levels of SPARC protein may lead to enhanced antitumor effect of nab-paclitaxel, which is marketed in the United States under the brand name ABRAXANE(R) for Injectable Suspension (paclitaxel protein-bound particle for injection (albumin bound). (Abstract #3480; SPARC Overexpression Enhances Sensitivity to nab-paclitaxel In Vivo).

The second of the two pre-clinical studies identified a novel spliced variant of SPARC gene that differed from known human SPARC mRNA sequence by a single amino acid residue. Although the role of this form of SPARC is still under
