DOR BioPharma, Inc. (OTCBB: DORB) (Wed, February 13th, 2008, 7:00am ET) DOR BioPharma, Inc. ("DOR" or "The Company"), a late-stage drug development company, announced today that positive results for orBec (oral beclomethasone dipropionate or oral BDP) in preventing serious lung injury in patients with gastrointestinal Graft-versus-Host disease (GI GVHD), will be presented this afternoon by Jason W. Chien, MD of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) at the annual Tandem Bone Marrow Transplant Meeting of the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry in San Diego. The presentation is entitled "Preservation of pulmonary diffusing capacity with oral beclomethasone dipropionate: Results from two randomized, placebo-controlled trials in allogeneic graft recipients," published in Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (Volume 14, Number 2, Supplement 2). DOR is also the Sponsor of the GVHD Working Committee at the conference on Thursday, February 14.

The pulmonary data, collected by DOR in response to a specific FDA request as part of its New Drug Application (NDA) review last summer, included a comparison of patients enrolled at FHCRC in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials for the treatment of patients with acute GI GVHD. Sixty patients had been randomized to orBec and the same number to placebo. Serial Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) at day 80 were available from 44 and 50 patients on placebo and orBec , respectively.

Significantly fewer patients randomized to orBec (55%) had deterioration of pulmonary diffusing capacity by transplant day 80, compared to placebo (79%), p=0.02. Clinical pulmonary events from the time of randomization to 200 days afterwards were reviewed by Dr. Chien of the FHCRC Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Section while blinded to the randomization assignment; no patient randomized to orBec developed a non-infectious pulmonary problem during this interval, compared to 4 patients on placebo.

These data suggest that orBec (oral BDP) may have a protective effect on early decline in pulmonary diffusing capacity, which commonly occurs by day 80 after transplant because of interstitial lung injury, and that this effect is accompanied by prevention of clinical pulmonary events such as Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome and Bronchiolitis Obliterans. It is hypothesized that these beneficial effects on the lungs were due to delivery of the potent immunosuppressive 17-BMP (an active metabolite of BDP) to the lungs via GI mucosa, portal vein, and pulmonary artery.

"The observations presented today in San Diego are intriguing and may lead to the development of new applications of oral BDP in a host of pulmonary inflammatory disorders having significant market opportunity beyond the GI area where we are currently in late-stage development," said Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of DOR. "We will continue to secure intellectual property in this new arena and to begin evaluating the possibilities for future clinical development."

George B. McDonald, MD, Head of the Gastroenterology/Hepatology Section at the FHCRC, inventor of orBec and an expert medical advisor to DOR, stated, "When we reviewed adverse event data from the pivotal Phase 3 trial of orBec for treatment of GI GVHD following hematopoietic cell transplantation, we noted a complete absence of non-infectious pulmonary infiltrates in patients in the orBec arm, compared to 18% in the placebo arm. These infiltrates are caused by inflammation of the lungs, most likely from the donor's immune cells. This observation led to the hypothesis that orBec (oral BDP), through its potent metabolite 17-beclomethasone monopropionate (17-BMP), delivered to the pulmonary artery via the gut and portal circulation, preserves lung function after allogeneic transplantation. Data presented at the Tandem Bone Marrow Transplant meeting suggests that this hypothesis is true, as significantly fewer orBec patients from a 120 randomized, single-center patient cohort had deterioration of pulmonary diffusing capacity by transplant day 80 compared to placebo, and none of 60 orBec patients had a non-infectious pulmonary event during a 200-day observation period, compared to 4 of 60 patients in the placebo arm. These non-infectious pulmonary events are significant causes of mortality after transplantation."

Dr. McDonald continued, "While the dominant effect of oral BDP is in the gastrointestinal mucosa, where it is significantly more effective than placebo in treating GVHD, some of its active metabolite, 17-BMP, reaches the pulmonary vasculature before being cleared from the systemic circulation. Thus, oral BDP may prevent pulmonary interstitial inflammation and subsequent lung injury. This beneficial effect of BDP could be useful not only in the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, but as a potential treatment for a long list of pulmonary inflammatory conditions for which effective treatments are lacking."

DOR BioPharma, Inc. (OTCBB: DORB) announced today that the Office of Orphan Products Development of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to Oral BDP (beclomethasone dipropionate) for the treatment of pediatric Crohn's disease.

The US Orphan Drug Act is intended to assist and encourage companies to develop safe and effective therapies for the treatment of rare diseases and disorders. In addition to providing a seven year term of market exclusivity for Oral BDP upon final FDA approval, orphan drug designation also positions DOR to be able to take advantage of a wide range of financial and regulatory benefits, including government grants for conducting clinical trials, waiver of expensive FDA user fees for the potential submission of a New Drug Application for Oral BDP, and certain tax credits.

Oral BDP is a highly potent, topically active corticosteroid that has a local effect on inflamed tissue. BDP has been marketed in the United States and worldwide since the early 1970s as the active pharmaceutical ingredient in inhalation products for the treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma. BDP is also the active ingredient in orBec , currently in development by DOR for the treatment and prevention of Graft-versus-Host disease (GVHD).

"The FDA's decision to grant Oral BDP Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of pediatric Crohn's disease signifies an important step for DOR as we begin to expand our pipeline with Oral BDP into other important indications beyond GVHD," stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and CEO of DOR BioPharma. "We anticipate that pediatric Crohn's disease will be the first of several new Orphan Drug Designations both in the US and in Europe as we work to maximize the global value of our Oral BDP and orBec franchise. We believe that Oral BDP has the potential to be of significant benefit to pediatric Crohn's disease patients."
