Cleveland BioLabs currently has two lead compounds in late stages of development. Curaxin CBLC102 is a safe, oral drug used in the past to treat malaria that demonstrates efficacy in vitro, in animal models, and in live tumors removed from patients. Initial test results indicate that CBLC102 can be effective against a number of malignancies, including hormone refractory prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma (a highly fatal form of kidney cancer), and soft-tissue sarcoma. The Company recently initiated Phase II trials with CBLC102 in hormone refractory prostate cancer at the Cleveland Clinic andCase Western Reserve University Hospital.

The Company's other lead compound, Protectan CBLB502, is a modified protein of a microbe that protects cells from apoptosis (programmed cell death). It has shown efficacy as both a protector and mitigator of the effects of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) in rodents and non-human primates and is on an accelerated approval pathway. The Company has recently responded to a Sources Sought Notice from the Department of Defense (DoD) and a Request for Information issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for therapeutic treatments to address ARS. Other applications for this technology include protection from cancer treatment side effects.

Cleveland BioLabs management will be available for meetings with investors in New York on December 12-13.
