Targanta Confident and Prepared for FDA Panel Review of Lead Compound Oritavancin

Mark and Joel delve into the clincal trials and regulatory process, around Targanta's Lead compound Oritavancin. Mark describes the current response of the FDA, and completed clinial site audits. He then continues to explain his team is expecting a panel meeting and is fully prepared to assit the panel's review of the drug. This panel could be expected as early as November of this year. When Joel inquires about the release of simplified data, which might differentiate Oritavancin for its competitors, Mark tells him about the drug profile (administration, safety, efficacy), but choses to keep quiet about the release date, telling us he the abstract and data will be revealed at an upcoming, yet undisclosed scientific conference.

This interview was conducted at the NASDAQ Marketsite, on September 18th, 2008, in New York City.

* Mark Leuchtenberger, President and CEO, Targanta Therapeutics
* Joel Sendek, Managing Director and Senior Biotechnology Analyst, Lazard Capital
