LIVINGSTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 25, 2007 - Columbia Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRX) announced today that an interim analysis of a pregnancy study comparing the efficacy of CRINONE(R) 8% (progesterone gel) to compounded intramuscular progesterone (IMP) injections is now available online and will be published in Fertility and Sterility, the journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

This study by Brigham and Women's Hospital is also evaluating patient satisfaction, which is increasingly important given the trend toward patients taking a more active role in deciding their treatment regimens," stated Robert S. Mills, president and chief executive officer of Columbia Laboratories.

This comes as no surprise, considering their differences. The IMP is administered as a deep intra-muscular injection, with injection site pain and potential irritation and
