Antares Pharma (AMEX:AIS), announced that Kaushik J. Dave, PhD, R.Ph., MBA, has joined Antares Pharma as Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. Dr. Dave has over 15 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry with both large and specialty pharma companies, directing product development from preclinical to clinical through to commercialization. His broad experience includes securing multiple product approvals from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and the Medicines Control Agency (MCA).

Prior to joining Antares Pharma Dr. Dave was employed by drug delivery companies Transave Inc. and Palatin Technologies, Inc. as well as pharmaceutical companies Schering Plough and Merck & Co. where he was responsible for IND and NDA submissions for more than 20 products. He obtained his Pharmacy degree from University of Bath, UK, a PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Kansas, and an MBA from the Wharton School. "Antares has an excellent business plan, a cutting-edge technology platform and a robust pipeline. I welcome the opportunity to be part of the team that is integrating these key strengths for the purpose of creating novel products," said Dr. Dave. "I look forward to making a contribution to Antares as well as to patients who may benefit from the products that we bring to the market."

We are very pleased to have Dr. Dave join our management team at this juncture; he brings a wealth of clinical and regulatory expertise to lead our clinical development program. Presently we are enrolling patients in our pivotal trials for ANTUROL ATD (Advanced Transdermal Gel Delivery System) for the treatment of overactive bladder. We are also initiating a clinical program for our proprietary CNS (ATD gel) product, AP-1126. Additionally, we are planning a Phase II trial with the Population Council for our Nestorone®/estradiol ATD gel contraceptive, to commence later this year. The progress of our clinical program demonstrates our advancement toward becoming a principal specialty pharma company, commented Jack E. Stover, President and CEO.
