Forward Looking Statements
ADVENTRX cautions you that statements included in this press release that are not a description of
historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on ADVENTRXs current expectations
and assumptions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding ADVENTRXs submission of an Exelbine NDA. Actual events or results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release
due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: the risk that future
stability testing results do not support comparability between ADVENTRXs prior and intended
commercial manufacturing sites or a commercially-viable expiration dating period; the risk that the
FDA does not accept a submitted Exelbine NDA for review, including as a result of identifying
clinical or nonclinical reasons for a refusal-to-file or identifying CMC reasons that were not
identified in the refusal-to-file of the previously submitted Exelbine NDA; the potential that
changes made in transferring the manufacturing process for Exelbine may result in a lack of
comparability between the commercial product and the material used in the bioequivalence trial, and
that the FDA may require ADVENTRX to perform additional nonclinical, bioequivalence or clinical
studies; the potential for the FDA to impose other requirements to be completed before or after
approval of an Exelbine NDA; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in ADVENTRXs
press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ADVENTRXs public
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at www.sec.gov.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made. ADVENTRX does not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement set forth in this press release to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date hereof, except as may be required by law.
