NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. (NBIX) said it
expects to initiate large Phase II and Phase III clinical trials for its altered
peptide ligands, or APL, for treating multiple sclerosis and Type I diabetes
in 1998.

In a presentation at BancAmerica Robertson Stephens' medical conference
here Monday, company President and Chief Executive Gary Lyons said the
company also expects to initiate human trials for its corticotropin releasing
factor, or CRF, for the treatment of depression and stroke.

Lyons said the company expects to remain profitable and will end the year
with $77 million to $80 million in cash.

Lyons also said the company plans to advance two more products in 1998
for which it will start consuming some of that cash. He said the company is
cash sufficient until 2001.
