Dr. Mitchell Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of GTx, Inc., presides over the opening bell.

GTx, headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of small molecules that selectively target hormone pathways to treat cancer, osteoporosis and bone loss, muscle wasting and other serious medical conditions. GTx is developing ACAPODENE(R) (toremifene citrate), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM, in two separate clinical programs in men: first, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of serious side effects of androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer, and second, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the prevention of prostate cancer in high risk men with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, or PIN. GTx has licensed to Ipsen Limited exclusive rights in Europe to develop and commercialize ACAPODENE(R). GTx also is developing Ostarine(TM), a first-in-class selective androgen receptor modulator, or SARM. GTx has initiated a Phase IIb Ostarine(TM) clinical trial for cancer cachexia and plans to initiate a Phase IIb Ostarine(TM) clinical trial for the treatment of chronic kidney disease muscle wasting by the end of 2007. GTx believes that Ostarine(TM) also has the potential to treat a variety of other indications associated with muscle wasting and bone loss including sarcopenia and osteoporosis. GTx is also developing two other product candidates, GTx-838, another GTx SARM, for the treatment of sarcopenia, and GTx-878, an estrogen receptor beta agonist for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis. GTx is planning to file an Investigational New Drug application (IND) with the FDA for GTx-838 by year end 2007 and to file an IND for GTx-878 during 2008.
