Kosan Presents Data on Lead Hsp90 Inhibitor, Tanespimycin, Showing,Promising Antitumor Activity in Multiple Myeloma at ASCO

E-1.

TIME-2 is a Phase 2/3 trial in patients with relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma. The multi-site, open-label trial will be conducted primarily in the US and Europe. TIME-2 will compare three different dose groups of tanespimycin each in combination with bortezomib. Eligible patients must have failed three prior multiple myeloma regimens, including one each of bortezomib and lenalidomide (Revlimid(R)). The primary endpoint is objective response rate.

TIME-1 is a Phase 3 trial in patients with disease relapse following a single prior course of treatment (first-relapse). It is a randomized, open- label, multi-center international trial with a primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS). The trial will compare two groups: patients treated with bortezomib plus tanespimycin and patients treated with bortezomib alone.

About Kosan

Kosan Biosciences is a biotechnology company advancing two new classes of anticancer agents through clinical development -- Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) inhibitors and epothilones. Kosan is leveraging its proprietary discovery platform to generate a pipeline of potentially significant product candidates, primarily in the area of oncology.

Hsp90 inhibitors have a novel mechanism of action targeting multiple pathways involved in cancer cell growth and survival. Kosan's proprietary formulation of tanespimycin (KOS-953) is currently in Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, primarily for multiple myeloma in combination with Velcade(R) (bortezomib) and HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in combination with Herceptin(R) (trastuzumab). In addition, intravenous and oral formulations of Kosan's second-generation Hsp90 inhibitor, alvespimycin (KOS-1022), are being evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials.

Epothilones inhibit cell division with a mechanism of action similar to taxanes, one of the most successful classes of anti-tumor agents. KOS-1584 is in Phase 1 clinical trials in patients with solid tumors.
