Hollis-Eden Announces Filing Of An IND For NEUMUNE In The US
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
May 31, 2005 7:48 a.m.

SAN DIEGO -- Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals Inc. (HEPH) filed for regulatory approval to start clinical trials in the U.S. for a radiation treatment, which the company hopes to sell to the federal government's ProjectBioShield program.

In a press release Tuesday, the San Diego biopharmaceutical company said it filed an investigational new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration to start a Phase I clinical trial in the U.S. for its Neumune drug to treat patients exposed to high doses of radiation.

The company is already conducting a Phase I trial in the Netherlands.

Hollis-Eden's Neumune is eligible for FDA marketing approval based on efficacy tests only on animals and not humans, since testing radiation on humans has been deemed unethical.

The company is trying to win an advance purchase contract from the U.S. government to provide Neumune to the strategic national stockpile. Hollis-Eden has filed a related request for information with ProjectBioShield.
