Page 3 Recent Developments 2004 is likely to be the breakthrough year for pSivida following the important developments of the past few months, which have confirmed the promise alluded to in our February 2004 research report. Since that time, pSivida has successfully completed the acquisition of 100% of its UK subsidiary pSiMedica, (previously 46% owned).
Moreover, further patents with regard to the potential uses of BioSilicon™ have been granted and, most importantly Phase IIa human clinical trials commenced in June 2004 with interim results due to be reported at the end of October 2004. Related to this, in September 2003, the Company announced extremely encouraging results from Singapore based subsidiary pSiOncology that successfully showed that its lead product 32-P - BioSilicon™ was successful in efficacy trials on animal models bearing human tumors. These first human trials are pivotal to the future development and perception of pSivida.
If these results on tumor regression are replicated in man coupled with satisfactory safety data, we expect major pharmaceutical companies to seek to establish strategic partnerships with pSivida for its BioSilicon™ technology platform, making a significant rerating of the share price a strong likelihood.
Todays announcement: Phase IIA BioSiliconTM trial in Man shows Safety and Tumor Regression...
