PHARNEXT ANNOUNCES



        PHASE 3





        CLINICAL TRIALS FOR 1A










         Recruiting for 1A Clinical Trials Underway





         Pharnext announced Phase III
         clinical trials for its PXT3003 drug
         for CMT1A February 21. The
         international, multi-center,
         randomized, double-blind,
         placebo-controlled study is designed
         to evaluate PXT3003 versus placebo
         in male and non-pregnant female
         subjects with genetically confirmed
         CMT1A of mild-to-moderate severity,
         aged 16 to 65 years.
         PXT3003 is a novel, fixed-dose
         synergistic combination of baclofen,
         naltrexone and sorbitol formulated as
         an oral solution. The three individual
         components of PXT3003 were
         selected to downregulate the
         overexpression of PMP22 protein,
         leading to improvement of neuronal
         signaling in dysfunctional peripheral
         nerves.                              Visits will take place at screening,
