This is a key development for the commercialization of DAVANAT�,� said Theodore Zucconi, Ph.D., President, Pro-Pharmaceuticals. �Our goal is to file an NDA for DAVANAT� this year. We also plan to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for an anti-hypoxia drug to be used in combination with DAVANAT� and 5-FU to treat advanced solid tumors, including new indications such as head & neck and breast cancers. The need to improve cancer therapies is significant and represents a large market opportunity.� Research and development expense for the second quarter of 2008 was $744,000 compared with $668,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase was due primarily to the DMF filing which was offset by lower activity in ongoing Phase II clinical trials. General and Administrative expense was $1,130,000, compared with $1,104,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase is primarily the result of higher compensation-related expense which was offset by lower legal and accounting expense.
