China Biopharmaceuticals Holdings Completes All Clinical Trials Of Desloratadine For Hay Fever
China Biopharmaceuticals   Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHBP), a leading Chinese pharmaceutical  company focused on the development, manufacturing and marketing of  innovative drugs in China, today announced the completion of all required  clinical trials for Desloratadine tablets for seasonal allergic rhinitis,  also known as hay fever. The trials were conducted in six hospitals  throughout China. The trial results have been sent to the Chinese State  Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for manufacturing and marketing  approval. The Company anticipates an approval response from the SFDA in the  second half of 2007.
        Desloratadine is indicated for the relief of the nasal and non-nasal  symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. It is also indicated for the  symptomatic relief of pruritus and the reduction in the number of hives,  and size of hives, in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria. In China,  30% of the population has suffered from an allergy at least once. The $1.5  billion allergy drug market in China continues to grow at a rate of 15% per  year.
        CHBP President and Chief Operating Officer Lufan An said, "We are  pleased to have completed all the required clinical trials for  Desloratadine for the SFDA's review. We hope to have the SFDA's approval to  manufacture and market this drug by the end of 2007. If we are granted  production approval, CHBP will be one of only four pharmaceutical companies  producing Desloratadine tablets in China through 2010. This is the latest  accomplishment of our R&D team which has submitted 15 drug applications to  the SFDA during this calendar year."
        In a separate release, CHBP also announced today that it is one of only  three companies that received authorization from the SFDA to initiate  clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sofalcone for the  treatment of digestive ulcers. CHBP also stated that the trials will be  conducted in six hospitals throughout China and are expected to be  completed within one year.
