About NB S101

NB S101 is a novel dual acting bone agent, or DABA, the active component of which significantly improves bone density and reduces fracture risk. In preclinical studies, NB S101 has demonstrated significant beneficial effects by reducing bone resorption and increasing bone formation and bone mineralization. This dual action on bone? a significant medical need? suggests that NB S101 could fundamentally change the treatment paradigm of patients with osteoporosis. Importantly, NB S101 helps to build bone in a manner similar to the body?s own metabolic processes by rebalancing bone metabolism in a way that favors strong bone development. Osteologix has a competitive intellectual property position. A key patent for NB S101 has been issued in EU providing protection out to 2024, with US patents published and currently pending.

The NB S101 Program and the STRONG Study

Osteologix has conducted extensive preclinical and clinical drug research with its proprietary DABA, NB S101. The Phase II STRONG Study evaluating NB S101 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group dose response study in 289 postmenopausal women. The results will provide data on the effects of NB S101 on bone metabolism, bone mineral density, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. The primary endpoint in the trial is the change in patients' bone resorption, as measured by the biochemical marker CTX-1. Data from this trial will be reported in the fourth quarter of 2007.
