Bernard Friedland, President of the Company, as sponsor, filed with the FDA on September 20, 1984 an application for a study, on human subjects, of the efficacy of RETICULOSE upon AIDS. In response to two deficiency letters from the FDA,, the Company on March 6, 1992, submitted to the FDA additional information, including findings from independent research laboratories intending,, among other things, to procure the FDA's approval to conduct Phase I human trials for RETICULOSE. On July 31, 1992, the Company received a further deficiency letter from the FDA (the "July 1992 Deficiency Letter"). The July 1992 Deficiency Letter provided detailed comments with respect to chemistry, toxicology, microbiology and clinical areas requiring further studies and action on the part of the Company. To date the Company has not formally responded to the July 1992 Deficiency Letter from the FDA. The Company presently contemplates that it shall either file an amendment with the FDA seeking to reactivate the IND that had been previously filed with the FDA, or withdraw such IND that has been deactivated by the FDA, and filing a new IND application. The Company intends to allocate certain funds from the exercise of Options, provided at least 25% of the Options are exercised, for the purpose and filing a new IND with the FDA. See "BUSINESS - CURRENT STATUS OF TESTING OF RETICULOSE". No assurance can be given, however, that any Options will be exercised, or that a new IND will be accepted by the FDA or that any tests previously conducted or to be conducted will satisfy FDA requirements. See "BUSINESS - BACKGROUND OF RETICULOSE" and the "CURRENT STATUS OF TESTING OF RETICULOSE." |
