Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Form 8-K and the attached press release are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include statements about the efficacy and safety of ANX-510. Actual events or results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the risk that ADVENTRX does not continue the development of CoFactor, including based on the pharmacokinetic results from ADVENTRX’s pharmacokinetic bridging study, progression-free and overall survival, as well as final safety, results from ADVENTRX’s discontinued Phase 3 study or revisions to previously announced CoFactor results; the Company’s inability to identify and secure approval from applicable regulatory authorities for an appropriate, cost-effective development path for CoFactor; the risk that ADVENTRX will be unable to raise sufficient capital to fund the continued development of CoFactor or the Company’s other product candidates; the potential to attract a strategic partner for the Company’s product candidates and the terms of any related transaction; the potential for ADVENTRX’s product candidates to receive regulatory approval for one or more indications on a timely basis or at all, and the uncertain process of seeking regulatory approval; unexpected or a greater than expected number of expected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of CoFactor, regardless of administration method, or ADVENTRX’s other product candidates; the risk that preclinical and clinical results are not indicative of the success of subsequent clinical trials and that products will not perform as preclinical and clinical data suggests or as otherwise anticipated; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in ADVENTRX’s press releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ADVENTRX’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at http://www.sec.gov.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made. ADVENTRX does not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement set forth in this Form 8-K or the attached press release to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it was made.
