Item 8.01.  Other Events

On October 10, 2005, the Registrant issued a press release clarifying the fact that its product candidate Lovaxin C, upon successful completion of regulatory compliance and clinical trials, is expected to be available to treat existing cervical cancer which has occurred or may occur in the large population of women already infected with, or exposed to, the Human Papilloma Virus (the viral cause of cervical cancer, “HPV”). Lovaxin C is distinguished from the Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) Pharmaceutical product Gardisil, which is a vaccine that recently successfully completed Phase III trails, and is intended to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer in women if administered before they are exposed to certain types of HPV, but cannot help in the treatment of women already infected, some of whom are likely to develop cervical cancer. See Registrant’s press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
