Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 4, 2011, Odysseas D. Kostas delivered notice to ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") of his resignation, effective as of May 5, 2011, as a director of the Company and from all committees of the Company’s board of directors. Dr. Kostas resigned due to other work commitments, and not due to any disagreement with the Company known to any of its executive officers on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The nominating and governance committee of the Company’s board of directors is conducting a search to identify a candidate as soon as possible to fill the vacancy created by Dr. Kostas’ departure. In the event a candidate is identified prior to the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 15, 2011, the effective date of such candidate's appointment to the board of directors is likely to be delayed until after the annual meeting.
