Forward Looking Statements

ADVENTRX cautions you that statements information included in this report and the slides attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and assumptions that, if they materialize or do not prove to be accurate, could cause ADVENTRX’s results to differ materially from historical results or those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk that ADVENTRX will be unable to raise sufficient capital to fund the projects necessary to meet its goals; the risk that preclinical results are not indicative of the success of subsequent clinical trials and the results of pending clinical trials; the risk the FDA determines ADVENTRX’s product candidates are not bioequivalent to the applicable reference product; difficulties or delays in developing, manufacturing, obtaining regulatory approval for and marketing ADVENTRX’s product candidates; the potential for regulatory authorities to require additional preclinical work or other clinical requirements to support regulatory filings; the scope and validity of patent protection for ADVENTRX’s product candidates; patent and non-patent exclusivity covering Navelbine® and Taxotere®; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in ADVENTRX’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ADVENTRX’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at http://www.sec.gov.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made. ADVENTRX does not intend to update any forward-looking statement included in this report or the slides attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it was made. This caution is made under the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
