e new top-line results complete the retesting announced February 6, 2007 as a result of Schering-Plough Corporation ("Schering") having informed MIGENIX that approximately 50% of the original viral load samples from the study, which Schering tested under a Material Transfer and License Option Agreement between the companies, required retesting.

AnnKatrin Petersen, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development of MIGENIX stated, "the increase in EVR to 42% after retesting (33% previously) for the celgosivir triple combination group in these very difficult to treat patients, along with the clear evidence of rapid reduction in viral load give us increased confidence in the potential of celgosivir to contribute in the treatment of HCV patients."

Jim DeMesa, M.D., President and CEO of MIGENIX added, "This confirmation of our previously announced results allows us to now focus on providing a data package to Schering-Plough over the next few weeks for their limited period of exclusive review under our License Option Agreement. The better EVR results seen upon retesting, especially in these very difficult-to-treat non-responder patients, reinforces our optimism in celgosivir's potential to improve treatment outcomes for these HCV patients with few therapeutic options."

The results from this study will be presented on April 15, 2007 at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) being held in Barcelona, Spain April 11-15, 2007. The presentation entitled: "Phase II Proof of Concept Study of Celgosivir in Combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2b and Ribavirin in Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype-1 Non-responder Patients" will be made in the General Session 4 on Sunday, April 15th from 1:00pm-1:15pm in Hall F of the CCIB Conference Center.
