Savient Pharmaceuticals Announces Acceptance of Two Gout-Related,Abstracts for Poster Presentation at the European League Against,Rheumatism (EULAR) 2007 Annual Congress

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 6, 2007 - Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) announced today that two abstracts exploring Phase 2 Puricase(R) (PEG-uricase) data and quality of life in treatment-failure gout patients will be presented at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2007 Annual Congress taking place June 13 - 16th in Barcelona, Spain. Puricase is a PEGylated recombinant porcine urate oxidase currently in Phase 3 development for patients with treatment-failure gout.

The abstracts selected for poster presentation on Thursday, June 14 are:

-- "Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of PEG-uricase in Patients with Hyperuricemia and Treatment-Failure Gout" (abstract #THU0358)

The first poster presents pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from the 41-patient, 3-month duration, open-label Phase 2 trial of Puricase. The second poster presents an analysis of the application of instruments for measuring health-related quality of life and physical functioning to the assessment of patient-reported outcomes in treatment-failure gout (defined as gout patients for whom allopurinol is contraindicated or is ineffective).

In addition to the two abstracts accepted for poster presentation, two additional abstracts have been accepted for publication on-line. These are:

-- Weekly Flare Burden Index: A New Metric for Evaluating Gout Treatment (abstract # AB0748)
