SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2010 –Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HALO), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing products targeting theextracellular matrix for the endocrinology, oncology, dermatology and drug delivery markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
“Halozyme continues to execute its strategy of leveraging our unique technology and advancing our diverse pipeline to position the company for future growth,” said Jonathan Lim, M.D., Halozyme’s president and CEO. “I am pleased with the progress that Halozyme and its alliance partners, Roche and Baxter, have achieved so far in 2010. The use of our rHuPH20 enzyme in these alliance programs will allow for subcutaneous administration that can potentially improve patient convenience, save healthcare resources, and, in the case ofHerceptin® SC, reduce the administration time to less than five minutes.”
First Quarter 2010 and Recent Business Highlights
•
American Diabetes Association (ADA) 70th Scientific Sessions – June 25-29, 2010 in Orlando. Halozyme has received acceptance notification to present three of its Ultrafast Insulin studies at this year’s ADA:
1)
A Phase 1 study of three rapid insulin analogs with and without PH20 selected for an oral presentation;
2)
A Phase 2 mealtime study in type 2 diabetes patients that compares regular insulin with PH20, analog insulin with PH20 and analog insulin alone selected to be showcased at the prestigious President’s Poster Session, which is limited to 100 posters;
3)
A poster presentation of a preclinical pharmacokinetic study in an animal model.
Our goal is to develop a best-in-class prandial insulin product in comparison to the current leading analogs on the market.
•
New manufacturing and supply agreements with existing manufacturing partners have strengthened the supply chain for recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20). Halozyme amended an existing commercial supply agreement with Avid Bioservices, Inc., entered into a new commercial supply agreement with Avid, and entered into a new commercial supply agreement with Cook Pharmica LLC. These three agreements are expected to cover the commercial production of rHuPH20 to be used in the manufacture of current products as well as certain partnered product candidates such as Herceptin SC (subcutaneous) and GAMMAGARD with rHuPH20.
•
Roche continues to successfully enroll patients in its ongoing Phase 3 Herceptin SC and Phase 1MabThera® SC clinical trials. We expect additional clinical progress for the Halozyme-Roche alliance in 2010.

About Halozyme Therapeutics
Halozyme is a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing products targeting the extracellular matrix for the endocrinology, oncology, dermatology and drug delivery markets. The company’s product portfolio is primarily based on intellectual property covering the family of human enzymes known as hyaluronidases and additional enzymes that affect the extracellular matrix. Halozyme’s EnhanzeÔ technology is a novel drug delivery platform designed to increase the absorption and dispersion of biologics. The company has key partnerships with Roche to apply Enhanze technology to Roche’s biological therapeutics, including Herceptin® and MabThera®, for up to 13 targets, and with Baxter BioScience to apply Enhanze technology to GAMMAGARD Liquid®. Halozyme’s Ultrafast Insulin program combines its rHuPH20 enzyme with mealtime insulins, which may produce more rapid absorption, faster action, and improved glycemic control. The product candidates in Halozyme’s pipeline target multiple areas of significant unmet medical need. For more information visitwww.halozyme.com.
