Hyseq to seek FDA permission to test first two drugs
NEW YORK, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Hyseq Inc.'s Chief Executive said on Wednesday his genomics company plans to ask U.S. regulators by late 2001 for permission to begin human tests of two of its first two experimental medicines, one to prevent blood clots and the other to treat inflammatory diseases.

Chief Executive George Rathmann said that he will ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the green light to test one of two candidates it has identified that prevent platelets from clumping together to form blood clots. He said the sister proteins have the working names of IL-1Hy1 and IL-1Hy2.

Rathmann, a founder of Amgen Inc. (NasdaqNM:AMGN - news), said that Hyseq (NasdaqNM:HYSQ - news) will decide by next year which of the two anti- inflammatory molecules will enter trials and added that the likely disease target will be either rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

The other drug, which Rathmann said he plans to steer into human clinical trials, is CD39L4, a naturally occurring human protein that Hyseq discovered through its genomics technology which it said prevents formation of blood clots.

Rathmann, interviewed at the UBS Warburg global sciences conference being held here, said the drugs have the potential of being safer than existing blood clot drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs.
