AGM Statement
Wednesday 17 September 2008 - Phil Cartmell, Non-executive Chairman of Medical Marketing International Group plc ("MMI" or the
"Company") (AIM:MMG), the life sciences company focused on the development of drugs for cancer, will today provide a development update on
the Company's cancer vaccines and ruthenium chemotherapies at the Company's Annual General Meeting and make the following statement.
Cancer vaccines
A commercial prostate cancer vaccine ("GVX 3322") has now been assembled and the DNA sequence verified. Immunogenicity testing will
commence shortly and will compare, in preclinical in vivo models, the immune responses obtained with GVX 3322 with the academic vaccine used
in clinical trials to date. Results will be available during the final quarter of this calendar year and, if positive, the Company will
progress its preparations for the commencement of a Phase II trial.
Ruthenium chemotherapies
The patent portfolio covering MMI's ruthenium based anti-cancer compounds has been strengthened further following the notification
allowance of a third EU patent. Efficacy testing of ONCO 4417 against a lung cancer in vivo model is in progress and the results will be
made available during the final quarter of this calendar year. Work has also commenced on elucidating the mechanism by which ONCO 4417
instigates cancer cell death and to understand the type of DNA damage caused by these compounds.
We are pleased to report the progress that we have made with our cancer vaccines and ruthenium chemotherapies. The proceeds from the
recent placing have enabled us to embark on the next phase of development for our two lead oncology products and we remain focused on
reaching our objective of creating clear value for our shareholders.
