Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL from May
1-5, Regeneron will present clinical data in a poster entitled
"A
double-masked, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating phase 1 study of
intravenous VEGF Trap in
patients with neovascular age-related macular
degeneration: evaluation of safety, tolerability, visual
acuity, and
ocular coherence tomography (OCT).
Regeneron also announced that it has completed
small pilot studies
in healthy volunteers examining the effects of the IL-1 Trap on a
systemic

announced the addition of Neuroprotection
- Drugs, Markets and
Companies to their offering
This report describes the role of neuroprotection
in acute
disorders such as stroke and injuries of the nervous system as well as
in chronic diseases
such as neurodegenerative disorders because many
of the underlying mechanisms of damage to neural
tissues are similar
in all these conditions and several products are used in more than one
disorder
. Although
anesthetics such as propofol are neuroprotective as well,
neuroprotection during surgery
and anesthesia is discussed with the
aim of preventing and treating complications that result in
CNS
damage.
The report contains a profile of 109 companies that have a
neuroprotective product
or products. Some of the products in
development at academic institutions that do not have a commercial
sponsor are also included. Clinical trials of various neuroprotective agents are described
and
failures of trials in stroke and head injury are analyzed with
suggestions for improving the selection
of drugs and design of trials.connective digestive

Presentations will include data in eye diseases, oncology and

practice
and measures will be available to achieve this effectively.hypertension spina

presentation will include data
from a phase 2 study in patients with

" This trial was conducted under
Regeneron
's collaboration agreement with the sanofi-aventis Group for
eye diseases through systemic delivery
systems, such as intravenous

results of these studies
for presentation in an abstract at a
cardiovascular conference later this year and for publication
in a
peer-reviewed medical journal. Some of these
products are approved for other indications
but are known to have a
neuroprotective effect. With the approval of new products and takeover
of

This news release discusses historical information and includes
forward-looking

finances, and business, all of which involve
a number of risks and
uncertainties, such as risks associated with preclinical and clinical
