Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this presentation that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as  "may," "will," "should," "anticipates," "expects" or comparable terminology or by discussions of future events. Such forward looking statements include statements relating to the clinical development program for TPI 287, the anticipated activity of TPI 287 in taxanes resistant tumors, the safety and efficacy of TPI 287, the time tables for future development of TPI 287, and the company’s ability to continue to fund its development programs, either through existing resources or through new funding sources.  Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include risks that clinical trials for TPI 287 will be delayed due to institutional approvals, patient recruitment, formulation and manufacturing difficulties or other factors; and that human clinical trials may show that TPI 287 is unsafe and/or ineffective in treating cancer in human patients. General implementation risks associated with development of any of our products include the risk that we will be blocked or limited in the development or marketing because of the intellectual property rights of third parties; that we are limited in our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce our own intellectual property rights; that development of our product candidates is delayed or terminated because the costs of further development exceed the value of such candidates; and that the Company's resources are insufficient to continue development and the Company will be unable to raise sufficient additional capital to continue operations and development. Additional risks, uncertainties and other information is contained in the Company's reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Particular attention should be paid to information in such SEC reports under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."  The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation or any other disclosure, whether as a result of new or additional information, future events or otherwise.

TPI 287 A Third Generation Taxane with Activity in Multi-Drug Resistant Tumors

 

TPI 287: A Third Generation Taxane Pre-clinical data shows that TPI 287 has more activity than paclitaxel or docetaxel in a variety of taxane- resistant human tumor cell lines TPI 287 has the potential to: circumvent expression of the drug efflux transporter, MDR-1 protein, seen in breast, lung and prostate cancers be active in tumor types currently not responsive to paclitaxel, (i.e., colon cancer) be active in tumor cells that express mutant tubulin
