RESTORATION OF TRADING ON AIM
Oxford, UK - 15 December 2009: Oxford BioMedica (LSE: OXB), a leading gene therapy company,
announced today that StarGen, the Company's gene-based therapy for Stargardt disease, has received orphan designation from the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA). Stargardt disease is a hereditary disorder of the eye that is caused by abnormalities in a gene called ABCA4 in the retina. StarGen is designed to deliver a corrected version of the ABCA4 gene into the cells of the retina using the Company's LentiVector® technology. In collaboration with sanofi-aventis, clinical development is expected to start in 2010. The US charity, Foundation Fighting Blindness, is also supporting the programme and previously funded the preclinical development.
The EMEA grants orphan drug designation to products that may provide a significant advantage over current treatments, if any exist, for life-threatening or chronically debilitating conditions affecting up to five in 10,000 people in the European Union. Companies with European orphan drug designation benefit from incentives, including ten years of marketing exclusivity and reduced regulatory fees.
The trading on AIM for the under-mentioned securities was temporarily suspended. The suspension is lifted from 24/12/2009 7:00am, an announcement having been made and a document published.
