Rigel Provides Clinical Update of R788 Phase 2 Trials in ITP,,Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lymphoma

very well tolerated in the first dose group. To expedite patient recruitment, Rigel has added additional clinical sites that have significant experience in RA clinical trials. Rigel expects to receive results from the completed clinical trial in the second half of 2007.

Rigel today announced the enrollment of patients in a multi-center, Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of R788 for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphoma. Approximately 80% of patients with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma have the B-cell variety, which is characterized by an over- expression of B-cell receptors and the proliferation of B-cells. Research has shown that R788 effectively interrupts the growth of B-cells and signaling proteins that contribute to the survival of these tumors.

The open label clinical trial is expected to enroll a total of approximately 60 patients at 10 major cancer treatment centers in the U.S. and will focus on refractory diffuse large, follicular and mantle B-cell lymphomas. The primary efficacy endpoint will be overall response rate according to standard criteria. Secondary efficacy, safety and pharmacodynamic endpoints, as well as the role of syk activation in predicting responses, will also be measured. Depending on enrollment, results of the clinical trial are expected in 2008.

R788 is a novel, oral syk kinase inhibitor that blocks the activation of mast cells, macrophages and B-cells that promote swelling, inflammatory responses and tissue damage. These activities derive from syk kinase's pivotal role in mediating immunoglobulin signaling inside cells. It is currently being evaluated in two Phase 2 studies with respect to RA and ITP, and enrollment in an additional Phase 2 clinical trial in B-cell lymphoma has commenced. Phase 1 trial results demonstrated that R788 was well tolerated and showed good pharmaceutical properties when administered both alone and, with respect to the treatment of patients with RA, in combinat
