Faust Pharmaceuticals' Phase IIa Results for Parkinson's Disease,Presented at International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and,Movement Disorders

Faust's lead molecule, FP0011, exhibited a differentiated combination of therapeutic effects and good tolerance in mid- to late-stage patients

STRASBOURG, France, June 6, 2007 - Faust Pharmaceuticals S.A., a clinical stage product company specializing in the discovery and development of drugs for diseases of the nervous system, today announced that the Phase IIa clinical trial results of its small molecule glutamate release inhibitor, FP0011, are being presented at the Movement Disorder Society (MDS)'s 11th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, taking place this week in Istanbul, Turkey. The poster, presented by the study's Principal Investigator, Olivier Rascol, M.D., of University Hospital, Toulouse, has been selected for presentation at the Highlights of Posters session during the conference.

In the trial, FP0011 was well tolerated and improved Parkinsonian symptoms as measured by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), as well as motor fluctuations as measured by patient diaries. The compound had positive effects in three critical areas: "core" Parkinsonian motor symptoms (such as tremor, rigidity and akinesia), axial symptoms not sensitive to L-dopa and other commonly-prescribed dopaminergic drugs (such as disturbance of posture, balance and gait), and dyskinesia (i.e. the jerky uncontrolled movements that result as a side effect of long term L-dopa therapy).

The Phase IIa trial was conducted according to an innovative "n of 1" trial design in which a small population (n=8) of mid-to-late stage Parkinsonian patients with L-dopa-induced motor complications were administered FP0011 or placebo over 4 cross-over periods on a randomized, blinded basis.

Professor Rascol, Dr. Joaquim Ferreira (Lisbon), and Dr. Lucette Lacomblez (Paris), were principal investigators in this Phase II trial. The "n of 1" trial design was previously used by Dr. Ferrei
