Oxford, UK 19 May 2010: Oxford BioMedica (LSE: OXB), a leading gene therapy company, today publishes its interim management statement for the period from 1 January to 18 May 2010.

Pipeline update

  • Third cohort of Phase I/II trial with enhanced surgical procedure initiated . Recent patient assessments suggest sustained benefit at 24 months from first dose cohort

    • Preparations for Phase II trial in prostate cancer on track, trial expected to commence H2 2010
Financial review
The Companys net cash1 balance at 31 December 2009 was #25.3 million, and as a result of decisive steps taken to focus resources and reduce underlying operating cash burn, can support its operations through to the beginning of 2012. At 31 March 2010 the Company had a net cash1 balance of #21.3 million. Expenditure and net cash outflow in the subsequent period to 18 May 2010 have been in line with this budget. The Company maintains financial flexibility and continues to be diligent in allocating resources to achieve key milestones within its current cash runway.

Outlook
The Company looks forward to reporting the results from the 12 and 24 month studies of ProSavin at a scientific meeting in June 2010, the initiation of clinical development of RetinoStat(R) and StarGen and the initiation of the Phase II trial for TroVax in prostate cancer later this year. Partnership discussions are ongoing regarding the late stage development of ProSavin and TroVax.

Oxford BioMedicas Chief Executive Officer, John Dawson, commented: Our gene-based treatments have the potential to change the face of healthcare, but success depends on our ability to manage the dynamic challenges and opportunities of commercialising such innovation. We have set clear development priorities for our in-house programmes that aim to maximise the return from our R&D investment. Collaborations remain a key element of our strategy and we are focused on securing the right transactions with the right partners for our lead programmes. The successful and timely execution of these goals will further enhance the value of Oxford BioMedica and bring us closer to achieving sustainable profitability.
