Investors following biotech and pharmaceutical stocks can take an in-depth look at the current status of LibiGel®, the clinical data, the market drivers and opportunities within the company product brochure, recent news links and a recent Q&A with Mr. Stephen M.

Highlights from the LibiGel Brochure:
Read the Full Brochure at: http://www.investorideas.com/CO/BPAX/news/LibiGel-Brochure-102910.pdf
LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The on-going Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that will enroll up to approximately 500 surgically menopausal women each for a six-month clinical trial. The efficacy trials are being conducted under an FDA-approved special protocol assessment (SPA) agreement. LibiGel is absorbed quickly through the skin after applying a once-daily pea-sized topical application on the upper arm that delivers testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time.
In a Phase II trial, LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD by 238 percent versus baseline (p < 0.0001); this increase also was significant versus placebo (p < 0.05). In this study, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel. The Phase II clinical trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in the United States, in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.
Therapeutic Indication
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) � lack of sexual desire � affects millions of women in the U.S., especially those past menopause, whether natural or surgical. Studies find it is more common than erectile dysfunction � which is a $2 billion a year prescription business in the U.S. A University of Chicago study of 1,700 men and 1,700 women between the ages of 18 and 59 published in JAMA, found that 43% of women said they have experienced some degree of sexual dysfunction, compared with just 31% of men. Among the women surveyed, 32% lacked interest in sex. Further, according to a study published in the NEJM, 43% of women between the ages of 57 and 85 experience some degree of low sexual desire. The majority of women with FSD are postmenopausal, experiencing FSD due to hormonal changes following menopause, whether natural or surgical. In 2009, there were over 4.0 million testosterone prescriptions written off-label for the treatment of HSDD. Over 90% of women using testosterone off-label would be switched to LibiGel® once approved, according to surveyed physicians.
Unmet Clinical Need / Market Opportunity
The goal of testosterone treatment of women experiencing Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is to increase the serum testosterone towards the normal range of premenopausal women in an effort to alleviate the symptoms of this disorder....
This market has wide potential with predictions ranging from about $2.0 billion up to $5 billion. The $2.0 billion potential is the size of the male market if one considers only the current erectile dysfunction products. The current market for testosterone products for men is approximately $1 billion and growing.
Results of Phase II for LibiGel Testing:
Specifically to testosterone and LibiGel in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction, there is little question that testosterone can increase the number of satisfying sexual events, the FDA�s primary endpoint for approval of a drug for this indication. Both BioSante and Proctor & Gamble (for their testosterone patch, Intrinsa, which is not currently in active clinical development and now owned by Warner Chilcott) have completed clinical trials showing the efficacy of testosterone to statistically and clinically significantly increase the number of satisfying sexual events.
Progress and Plans in Phase III:
Currently, BioSante is conducting three Phase III clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of LibiGel to increase sexual desire and satisfying sexual events and to decrease distress associated with the decreased desire. Two Phase III safety and efficacy trials that are underway are randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled trials which will enroll approximately 500 surgically menopausal women each for six-months of treatment. BioSante is conducting these trials under an FDA agreed special protocol assessment (SPA). In addition, BioSante has another SPA agreement with the FDA related to treatment of naturally menopausal women. The SPA process and agreement confirms the FDA�s position that FSD and HSDD are true conditions that women experience, with measurable endpoints, that can be evaluated and which deserve therapeutic options. It also affirms that the FDA agrees that the LibiGel Phase III safety and efficacy clinical trial design, clinical endpoints, sample size, planned conduct and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval. Further, it provides assurance that these agreed measures will serve as the basis for regulatory review and the decision by the FDA to approve an NDA for LibiGel....
In addition to the two Phase III safety and efficacy trials covered by the SPA, BioSante is conducting one Phase III cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study of LibiGel, which also is underway....
- BioSante�s objective is to submit the LibiGel NDA in 2011 for a potential FDA approval in 2012.

Biotech/Pharma Stocks News; UV Flu Technologies (OTCBB: UVFT) ViraTech UV-400 Featured This Weekend on Nationally Televised Designing Spaces "Holiday Spaces" Show

CENTERVILLE, MA � November 10, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's ViraTech UV-400 air purifier technology is featured during "Designing Spaces-Innovations for a Healthy Home this Holiday Season," scheduled to air on Women's Entertainment (WeTV) this Friday, November 12th, at 9:30 am, EST, and again at the same hour on Sunday the 14th and Monday the 15th.
"I was very excited to participate on the show, particularly with Dr. Dennis Rosen, a Director of our Company and one of the foremost Pediatricians in the country today, as well as a real advocate for issues affecting children's health," said Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technology. "We hope to educate the public on the dangers associated with poor indoor air quality at every opportunity, as we believe it contributes to tens of thousands of deaths and billions of dollars of health care and lost work expenditures every year. We also wanted to inform and educate the public of the hazards posed though the use of existing filter based products on the market today that can cause serious illness if the filters or the electrostatic plates are not changed or cleaned on a constant basis."
"Our ViraTech UV-400 was developed in part as a response to the filter issue as it has no filters to change or plates to clean and kills airborne bacteria and other organic contaminants for years with virtually no maintenance. As Dr. Rosen states on the show, Doctors have become reluctant to recommend air purifiers principally because the public was found to not regularly maintain their filter products as required, which led to many of their patients suffering from additional symptoms and increased instances of illness. Our product overcomes these shortcomings and that is why Designing Spaces thought it would be the perfect product to feature in order to help keep families healthy over the Holidays, and far into the future," said Mr. Lennon.
For those who miss the television broadcast, the segment will available for viewing next week at: www.uvflutech.com.
Further details regarding the Company's business, financial reports and agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.
About UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:UVFT)
UV Flu Technologies is an innovative developer, manufacturer and distributor of bio technology products initially targeting the rapidly growing Indoor Air Quality ("IAQ") industry sector (over $7.7 billion in 2008). The Company manufactures the ViraTech UV-400, which utilizes high-intensity ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) inside a killing chamber that goes beyond filtration to destroy harmful airborne bacteria, at rates exceeding 99.2% on a first-pass basis, while also reducing the concentrations of odors, and VOC's (volatile organic compounds, such as acetone, benzene, formaldehyde, etc.) The FDA has issued a coveted Class II medical listing that enables UV Flu Technologies to market the product as a medical device.

Biotech/Healthcare News: UV Flu Technologies, (UVFT.OB) Begins Shipments of Air Purifier to European Distributor

CENTERVILLE, MA � November 8, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) reports that shipments of its ViraTech UV-400 Air Purifier to its new European distributor Societe' Nema Citizen of Paris, France have commenced.
Societe' Nema Citizen (www.citizenfrance.com) is the largest distributor of Citizen Brand electronics in France, and also features a growing inventory of health and medical-related products available for distribution to retailers throughout much of Western Europe. The Company is well established and is providing an aggressive strategy designed to introduce the UV-400 to an existing consumer base utilizing extensive regional relationships and proven market penetration techniques.
"Early positive feedback supports our view that this order will be followed shortly with significant replenishment requests on an ongoing basis as we head into the winter cold and flu months," stated Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "Much of our initial shipment is slated for use as demonstration products specifically targeting fifty major catalog re-sellers. The distributor further supports these introductory efforts by offering a strong internet presence combined with a sizeable and knowledgeable sales force spread across the continent."
"We believe the European marketplace offers exceptional opportunities for us," said Mr. Lennon. "Europe has had incredible problems with MRSA, and other HAI's, or Hospital Associated Infections, which are bacterial strains that have grown impervious to antibiotics. In Wales recently, an outbreak of Legionnaires Disease brought the problem of poor air quality back as front page news. This disease is still widespread around the world, but experts believe it is usually misdiagnosed as pneumonia. The ViraTech UV-400 kills many of these types of airborne contaminants thereby minimizing their ability to spread, so we believe we can easily help reverse the possibility of dramatic increases in some of the most common, yet potentially deadly situations," said Mr. Lennon.
Further details regarding the Company's business, financial reports and agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.

Mr. Stephen M. Simes, President and C.E.O. of BioSante Pharmaceuticals, discusses recent developments with its lead product in Phase III, LibiGel (testosterone gel) in addition to GVAX Pancreas Vaccine in Phase 2.
Q&A Excerpt:
Q: Investorideas.com
Your company just recently announced that the Phase III LibiGel (testosterone gel) cardiovascular and breast cancer safety study will continue without modifications and will continue to enroll new subjects as a result of the fourth unblinded review of adverse events by its independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). Can you give investors insight into the study, the subjects and the type of data collected?
A: Stephen M. Simes, President and Chief Executive Officer of BioSante Pharmaceuticals
Yes. We currently are conducting three Phase III LibiGel clinical studies, one of which is a very important cardiovascular events and breast cancer safety study to which you refer. We now have enrolled over 2,500 women into this study and to date the safety of LibiGel looks excellent. The rate of cardiovascular events that have been reported in the study is significantly lower than was predicted for this population of women, and the rate of breast cancer reported is close to predicted. Our objective is to show the safety of LibiGel in the treatment of female sexual dysfunction for which there is no FDA approved product today. We believe we are doing that.

Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: GILD) News:
Viread® for Hepatitis B Maintains Antiviral Suppression with No Development of Resistance Through Four Years of Treatment
“Gilead Sciences, Inc. today announced new data from the open-label phase of two pivotal Phase III clinical trials (Studies 102 and 103) evaluating the four-year efficacy of Viread® (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Significantly, no resistance to Viread emerged over 192 weeks of treatment, and 10.8 percent of patients receiving Viread in Study 103 (HBeAg-positive) for four years experienced surface, or “s”, antigen (HBsAg) loss, which is a marker of the resolution of chronic HBV infection. Additional data from these studies and from Study 106 show the durable antiviral efficacy of Viread among several key patient subpopulations, including patients with high baseline viral levels, individuals of Asian descent and treatment-experienced patients. These findings are being presented at the 61st annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (The Liver Meeting 2010) in Boston.”
