  Entelos Announces Agreement with PDL Biopharma
 

Entelos, Inc. (LSE:ENTL) a leading life sciences company building predictive computer models of human physiology and "virtual patients" for drug discovery and development, announced today that PDL Biopharma (“PDL”) has signed an agreement with Entelos to conduct in silico research and “virtual clinical trials”. The research is expected to take two months and is focused on identifying primary endpoints, patient types, and optimal doses to support one of PDL’s antibody development programs.

“We are pleased to add PDL to our growing list of biotechnology customers,” commented James Karis, president and CEO of Entelos. “Clinical trial simulations are one of the most powerful and important applications of our Physiolab platforms. Simulating clinical trials prior to conducting them can significantly reduce the risk, time, and overall cost of a drug program, especially when companies are faced with key decisions about selecting the right dose and patient types upfront. We look forward to making a positive impact at PDL and providing them useful information to support their pipeline.”
