Item 5.  Other Events

 

On March 10, 2002, IntraBiotics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the results of its second phase III clinical trial of iseganan HCl oral solution, for the reduction of incidence of ulcerative oral mucositis in patients receiving radiation therapy for treatment of head and neck cancer, has been accepted for an oral presentation at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday, May 21, 2002.  The Company also announced that it has finalized its plans for statistical analysis of the two clinical trials based on input from the FDA. In both studies, oral mucositis is being assessed using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Toxicity Criteria score for oral mucositis caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The proportion of patients receiving iseganan whose oral mucositis remains absent or mild (Grades 0 and 1) will be compared to the proportion of patients receiving placebo whose oral mucositis remains absent or mild. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
