( IRVINE Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 6...)Cobalis Reports Phase III Trial Results for PreHistin in Seasonal,Allergic Rhinitis,Health

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 6, 2007 - Cobalis Corp. (OTCBB:CLSC), a pharmaceutical development company specializing in anti-allergy medications, today reported preliminary top-line results from two Phase III clinical trials for its drug PreHistin(TM) in patients with moderate to moderately severe seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever. The trials showed very low symptom levels in both placebo and PreHistin-treated patient groups, thereby leaving no room to demonstrate a meaningful drug effect.

In the randomized, six week, placebo-controlled trials involving a total of 1,551 subjects, PreHistin did not achieve statistically significant differences from placebo in the primary measure of efficacy, the reduction in total nasal symptom score (TNSS). However, the TNSS data for placebo-treated patients was far lower than would be expected for the moderate to moderately severe patient population called for in the protocol. Low pollen counts in many of the regions during the time PreHistin was being tested may have resulted in low mean placebo symptom scores for the overall study population.

The trials showed that PreHistin was well tolerated and thus contributed positively to the safety record of PreHistin's active ingredient, cyanocobalamin.

A comparison of pre- and post-treatment blood levels of cobalamin demonstrated for the first time in a large study population that delivery of cyanocobalamin via sublingual lozenges resulted in significant increases in cobalamin blood levels.

Cobalis' Chief Scientific Officer Ernest Armstrong commented: "Showing a meaningful reduction in allergy symptoms when the symptoms never increased throughout the pollen season to the desired moderate to moderately severe level is next to impossible. It's like trying to prove that a pump can pump water out of a swimming pool when there is almost no water in the pool to begin with. Other pharmaceu
