Favrille Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results

San Diego – Aug. 10, 2006 – Favrille, Inc. (Nasdaq: FVRL), a biopharmaceutical company developing patient-specific, active immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company reported net losses of $9.8 million, or $0.34 per share, and $20.7 million, or $0.81 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.47 per share, and $17.8 million, or $1.10 per share, for the same periods in 2005.

“We remain confident in the design and execution of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId® and look forward to our analysis of the response improvement data from this trial in the fourth quarter,” John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Favrille. “Meanwhile, we continue to make progress with the construction of our commercial manufacturing facility in preparation for the launch of FavId, moving another step closer to offering an important treatment option to patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).”

Second Quarter 2006 Financial Review

Research and development expense was approximately $7.5 million and $15.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to approximately $7.9 million and $14.7 million for the same periods in 2005. The decrease in the second quarter of 2006 primarily reflects the reduction of clinical site costs and manufacturing supplies due to the completion of patient enrollment in the Company’s pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in January 2006. The overall increase for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to additional expenses for clinical development of FavId, including personnel and clinical trial site costs. Effective January 1, 2006, Favrille implemented SFAS 123(R). Total stock-based compensation included in research and development was approximately $485,000 and $920,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to approximately $350,000 and $700,000 for the same periods in 2005.

Marketing, general and administrative expense was approximately $2.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to approximately $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the same periods in 2005. The increase is primarily due to additional personnel and outside services related to strategic marketing programs and an increase in administrative personnel in preparation for the commercialization of FavId. Total stock-based compensation included in marketing, general and administrative expense was approximately

$500,000 and $950,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to approximately $350,000 and $740,000 for the same periods in 2005.

As of June 30, 2006, Favrille had cash, cash equivalents and short term investments of $61.7 million, compared to $34.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the $45.4 million in proceeds, before expenses, from the Company’s private placement of common stock and warrants in March 2006, partially offset by net cash used to fund ongoing operations.

“We continue to expect total operating expenses for the full year 2006 to be in the range of $44 million to $47 million, including an estimated $3 million to $4 million in stock-based compensation,” said Tamara A. Seymour, Chief Financial Officer of Favrille. “Our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments are still expected to be in the range of $37 million to $40 million at the end of 2006.”

Recent Highlights

· Long-Term Follow-Up Data from Phase 2 Trial of FavId. In preparation for the upcoming American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December, Favrille recently reviewed long-term follow-up data from its Phase 2 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan® in patients with follicular B-cell NHL. Notably, the data showed an increase in the percentage of patients with a response improvement following initiation of FavId treatment. In addition, a number of patient groups, including patients who were treatment-naïve prior to entering the study, have not reached median time to disease progression (TTP) 32 months from the end of patient enrollment. Favrille believes that these data support the design of its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial. Approximately 80 percent of the patients enrolled in the Company’s Phase 3 trial are treatment-naïve with the remainder either relapsed from or refractory to prior therapies.

· Published Data from Single Agent Trial of FavId. Favrille published data from its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FavId as a single therapeutic agent in the July 1st issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. This initial trial served as proof of concept that FavId is well tolerated and demonstrates biologic activity in previously treated and relapsed patients with indolent B-cell NHL. This provided the foundation for subsequent trials of FavId, including the Company’s pivotal Phase 3 trial.

· Investigational New Drug (IND) Application for T-Cell Lymphoma. Favrille’s IND application for FAV-201, a patient-specific immunotherapy for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma, was allowed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in June. FAV-201 will be evaluated initially in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This new product candidate is an extension of Favrille’s platform and draws on the Company’s success to date in the development of its lead product candidate FavId for the treatment of B-cell NHL.

· Construction of Commercial Manufacturing Facility. Favrille began construction of its commercial manufacturing facility in June. The Company expects that construction of the facility will be funded by landlord improvement allowances and proceeds from a line of

credit. The facility will dedicate 80,000 square feet exclusively to manufacturing, with a capacity to produce FavId for up to 4,000 patients per year. Favrille expects the facility to be capable of commercial production of FavId as early as the fourth quarter of 2007.

· David Molowa, Ph.D. Appointed to Board of Directors. Dr. Molowa was appointed to Favrille’s Board of Directors in July after spending the last 15 years on Wall Street as a sell-side analyst at UBS Securities, JP Morgan Securities and Bear Stearns & Co. Most recently he was a Managing Director at UBS Securities, leading the firm’s biotechnology research efforts. Previous to his career in the financial industry, Dr. Molowa was a senior research biochemist and lab director for Merck & Co. Favrille believes that he is an ideal complement to the Company’s knowledgeable, industry-oriented Board.
