Santaris Pharma Presents Positive Clinical Data on SPC2996 in,Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

First RNA Antagonist Medicine to Be Tested in Patients Reduces Severity of Adult Leukaemia

Copenhagen, 6th June 2007 - Santaris Pharma, the Danish biopharmaceutical company, announced today that SPC2996, the Company's new RNA Antagonist of Bcl-2, has shown early evidence of efficacy in an initial Phase I/II clinical study in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL). The results of the study were reported this week at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held in Chicago, Illinois.

*A relationship between dose of SPC2996 and activity was observed in the study, with higher doses giving improved effects on lymphocyte counts, lymph nodes, time to progression and overall tumour response.

*SPC2996 treatment was associated with statistically significant reduction in mean Bcl-2 levels in white blood cells from CLL patients, supporting the intended mechanism of action of the drug.

Commenting on the results, Prof Bertrand Coiffier, from the Hospices Civils de Lyon, University of Lyon, France, the international coordinating investigator for the study, said:

"These results are early stage but promising. All patients came into this study with clinically progressing CLL. Despite this, patients receiving the drug at an effective level had rapid and sustained falls in circulating cancerous lymphocytes. There also appeared to be e
