Antares' Product Development Agreement Wins 2007 Innovative Bio-Partnering Award

Antares Pharma, Inc. (Amex:AIS) announced that it has received, along with its partner Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc., the BioBusiness Network 2007 Innovative Biotech/Biotech Deal of the Year award for innovation in deal making. Antares and Jazz Pharmaceuticals signed a worldwide product development and license agreement this past July. The product candidate underlying this agreement is being developed to treat a significant CNS disorder and is based on Antares proprietary ATD (Advanced Transdermal Delivery) gel system. Jazz Pharmaceuticals will pay Antares upfront and product development milestones in addition to payments for any future development activities as well as royalties on future product sales. Under the agreement Jazz Pharmaceuticals is responsible for development and commercialization of this product candidate and will cover the costs of clinical trials, regulatory filings, and all manufacturing and marketing.

The Bio-Partnering Award was launched in 2003 and 2006 winners in various categories included GlaxoSmithKline/ChemoCentryx, Bayer/Schering and Genentech/PIramed. Applications are evaluated and scored by members of the BioBusiness Advisory Board consisting of leaders in global licensing for companies such as AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Merck.

Advanced Transdermal Delivery Systems (ATD)

The ATD drug delivery platform is dedicated to the development of gels that offer a cosmetically superior option to patches, while delivering medication efficiently with less potential for skin irritation, minimizing gastrointestinal impact, as well as, the first-pass liver metabolism effect of many orally ingested drugs. Antares ATD gels are hydro-alcoholic and contain a combination of permeation enhancers to promote rapid drug absorption through the skin following application typically to the arms, shoulders, abdomen or thighs. The Companys transdermal ATD gel system provides the options for delivering both systemically (penetrating into and through the subcutaneous tissues and then into the circulatory system) as well as locally (e.g. topically for skin and soft tissue injury, infection and local inflammation). Typically, the gel is administered daily, and is effective on a sustained release basis over approximately a 24-hour period of time.
