itting Protectan CBLB502 to the Department of Defense (DoD) in response to a recently published Request for Proposal (RFP) for medical radiation countermeasures to treat gastrointestinal effects of acute radiation syndrome. The RFP award would provide funding for development of the countermeasure through FDA approval, as well as a commitment to purchase up to 500,000 doses, thereafter.

Protectan CBLB502 is undergoing an accelerated development program under the FDA two-animal rule, which requires the Company to show efficacy in two animal species and only safety in humans. Cleveland BioLabs is in the process of completing Good Manufacturing Practices compliant (cGMP) manufacturing of Protectan CBLB502 and plans to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a human safety study later this year.

Cleveland BioLabs President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Fonstein, Ph.D., added, "The radio-protective properties of Protectan CBLB502 are specific to healthy, non-cancerous tissues, making CBLB502 a promising candidate to treat side effects of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy and potentially, chemotherapy. The National Cancer Institute reports that for every $1 spent on cancer treatments, approximately $0.70 is spent on supportive care to counteract the side effects of treatment. We believe this could be a significant potential follow-on market for CBLB502."

Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. is a drug discovery and development company leveraging its proprietary discoveries about programmed cell death to treat cancer and protect normal tissues from exposure to radiation and other stresses. The Company has strategic partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, ChemBridge Corporation and the Armed Forces Research Radiobiology Institute.
