About Threshold Pharmaceuticals
Threshold is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of drugs targeting Tumor Hypoxia, the low oxygen condition found in microenvironments of most solid tumors as well as the bone marrows of some hematologic malignancies. This approach offers broad potential to treat a variety of cancers. By selectively targeting tumor cells, we are building a pipeline of drugs that hold promise to be more effective and less toxic to healthy tissues than conventional anticancer drugs. TH-302 is the lead and only clinical stage product in our pipeline.  For additional information, please visit our website (www.thresholdpharm.com).

About TH-302
TH-302 is a hypoxia-targeted drug that is thought to be activated under tumor hypoxic conditions, a hallmark of many cancer indications. Areas of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) within tissues are common in many solid tumors due to insufficient blood vessel growth.

TH-302 has been investigated in over 600 patients in Phase 1/2 clinical trials to date in a broad spectrum of tumor types, both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy treatments and other targeted cancer drugs. Threshold has several additional ongoing clinical trials, the most advanced of which is a Phase 3 pivotal study evaluating TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. More recently, Threshold completed a 215 patient randomized Phase 2 in combination with gemcitabine vs gemcitabine alone in advanced pancreatic cancer.  The initial results we presented at AACR earlier this year and a follow up will be presented at ESMO in late September.

In February 2012, Threshold signed a global agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, to co-develop and co-commercialize TH-302.
