Michael Fonstein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Cleveland BioLabs, will give a brief presentation on the Company's Protectan CBLB612 compound at 10:44 a.m. ET on February 26.

Protectan CBLB612 is a modified lipopeptide mycoplasma that acts as a powerful stimulator and mobilizer of hematopoietic (bone marrow/blood production) stem cells (HSC) to peripheral blood. Potential applications for CBLB612 include accelerated hematopoietic recovery during chemotherapy, as well as during donor preparation for bone marrow transplantation.

Direct comparisons of Protectan CBLB612 and the market leading drug used for stimulation of blood regeneration, G-CSF, demonstrated stronger efficacy of CBLB612 as a propagator and mobilizer of HSC in peripheral blood. CBLB612's unprecedented strength as a stem cell stimulator was further demonstrated by the outcome of its combined use with G-CSF and AMD3100 (a drug candidate emerging as a stem cell mobilizer), where the addition of CBLB612 resulted in eight to ten times higher yields of HSC in peripheral blood in comparison with the standard protocol.

With efficacy and non-GLP safety already studied in mice and monkeys, CBLB612 entered formal pre-clinical safety and manufacturing development in February 2008. Its first human trials are projected for 2009.
