Immulogic Pharmaceutical Corp files for peptide therapy trial

WALTHAM, Mass., Jan 7 (Reuter) - ImmuLogic Pharmaceuticals Corp said Monday it filed an investigational new
drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin human clinical trials for its multiple sclerosis
peptide therapeutic.

ImmuLogic said it planned to begin a phase I trial in the second quarter, after completing the final manufacturing
process for the clinical grade product which would be used in the trial.

Marr, acting president and chief executive officer, said: "This IND filing is our first step in expanding the clinical
application of our core technology of tolerance induction beyond allergy and into the autoimmune disease arena."

ImmuLogic is a biopharmaceutical company which develops peptide therapeutics to treat allergies and autoimmune
diseases. It is also working on a poison ivy and poison oak therapeutic and a vaccine to treat cocaine abuse.

The company said its multiple sclerosis therapeutic was aimed at turning off cells which trigger the inflammatory
response that destroys the myelin sheath surrounding nerves.

It said it was developing the therapeutic in collaboration with Schering AG SCHG.F .
