As part of this cooperation, BioVectra is investing $1.5M in Oncolix, a partner for whom we will produce this recombinant protein from fermentation. Prolanta is a targeted hormone receptor antagonist for the intended treatment of Breast Cancer. Early 2010 Announced agreement with Sandoz, to commercialize and market the ANDA for Docetaxel for Injection, the generic version of Taxotere, whereby Docetaxel has been developed by BioVectra. Under a very effective technology development program, where a further partnership was leveraged (Taxolog, referenced earlier in this presentation), BioVectra was able to submit its ANDA for the product ahead of other potential paragraph IV filings.
