PLANS FOR CLINICAL STUDIES

Efforts are in progress to evaluate hI-con1™ as therapy for wet AMD and cancer.

Iconic is targeting 4Q10 to begin its phase 1/2a study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of hI-con1 administered by intravitreal injection to wet AMD patients.  Iconic has recruited top ophthalmology clinical investigators.  Phase 1 will be an open-label, dose escalation study designed to evaluate 3 dose levels of hI-con1 in 15 patients.  Phase 2a will enroll 45 patients (15 patients per arm) in a double-blind, randomized study using the two highest tolerable doses of hI-con1 with Lucentis® as the control.  Primary endpoints will be safety, CNV regression (measured by analyzing fluorescein angiograms), visual acuity (measured by EDTRS, IOP and OCT) and retreatment frequency.  The studies are expected to last 9-12 months.
