being studied as a single agent and in combination with docetaxel chemotherapy in two Phase 3 clinical trials expected to enroll approximately 1,200 patients with metastatic HRPC. Cell Genesys received Special Protocol Assessments (SPA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for each of the Phase 3 studies and has also received Fast Track designation for the product. GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer is comprised of two prostate cancer cell lines that have been modified to secrete GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor), an immune stimulatory hormone, and irradiated for safety. GVAX cancer immunotherapy for prostate cancer is being developed as a non patient-specific, "off-the-shelf" pharmaceutical product.

Cell Genesys is focused on the development and commercialization of novel biological therapies for patients with cancer. The company is currently developing two clinical stage product platforms -- GVAX(TM) cancer immunotherapies and oncolytic virus therapies. Ongoing clinical trials include Phase 3 trials of GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer, Phase 2 trials of GVAX immunotherapies for pancreatic cancer and for leukemia, and a Phase 1 trial of CG0070 oncolytic virus therapy for bladder cancer. Cell Genesys continues to hold an equity interest in its former subsidiary, Ceregene, Inc., which is developing gene therapies for neurodegenerative disorders. Cell Genesys is headquartered in South San Francisco, CA and has its principal manufacturing operation in Hayward, CA.
