Ribozyme Pharma Gets Review Exemption From NIH Panel

BOULDER, Colo. (Dow Jones)--Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (RZYM) said the National Institutes of Health's Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee exempted from review a company-sponsored application for a ribozyme human clinical study.

In a press release, Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals said this is its first regulatory filing related to initiation of clinical trials using ribozymes.

The proposed study involves transduction of blood progenitor cells from HIV-infected people with a retroviral vector containing two ribozymes. The study is part of a collaboration with Children's
Hospital Los Angeles, Chiron Corp. (CHIR), City of Hope National Medical Center and Loma Linda University.

The planned clinical trial is a physician-sponsored study measuring the ability of ribozyme-expressing cells to engraft and survive after reinfusion into HIV-1 infected patients.

Before human clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug Application must be filed with and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the company said.
