The manufacturing and quality agreements for the GMP production of the clinical trial

Solbec is also pleased to announce the receipt of a positive written response from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in respect of the pre-IND (Investigational
New Drug) submission for Coramsine® in the treatment of advanced solid tumours.
The FDA have reviewed Coramsine’s® pre-clinical and clinical dossier and have confirmed
that Coramsine® is suitable to move into Phase II cancer clinical trials subject to the
FDA’s acceptance of Coramsine’s® full IND application.
“We are delighted that the FDA have provided such a timely response to our pre-IND
submission and their advice is such that U.S. based Phase I trials will not be necessary.”
said the Company.
“This response allows Solbec to proceed with Coramsine’s® full
IND application prior to the commencement of U.S. clinical trials.”
The Australian Phase II trials will be partly funded by a $2.26M Australian Government
Commercial Ready grant awarded to Solbec in December 2005.
