Agenix Limited [ASX: AGX, OTC (NASDAQ): AGXLY ] is a biopharmaceutical company based in Brisbane, Australia. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Agen Biomedical and Agenix Biopharmaceutical (Shanghai), the company has a strategic goal of building and developing a pipeline of therapeutic and imaging products.

Agenix Biopharmaceutical (Shanghai) owns the businesses of two associated Chinese life sciences companies. One, Shanghai Rui Guang Bio-Pharma Development Co., Ltd, is a biopharmaceutical company which has a pipeline of anti-viral drugs in development. Its lead product candidate, a hepatitis B virus drug, has successfully completed Phase III clinical trials in China and received China State Food and Drug Administration new drug approval on 30 September 2007. Sales of You He Ding in China are estimated to grow to in excess of RMB320 million per annum. The company has a deep pipeline of potential anti-viral drugs in development. The second, Shanghai Yi Sheng Yuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, has a GMP certified manufacturing facility which has the capacity to produce 150 million tablets per annum (based on a 5-day working week at 8 hours per day).

Agen Biomedical’s lead candidate is its high-technology blood clot-imaging agent, ThromboView[®] ,which has been undergoing human clinical trials in the United States, Canada and Australia. ThromboView[®] uses radio-labelled antibodies to locate blood clots in the body, and could revolutionise the global clot diagnostic imaging market.

A Phase II pulmonary embolism clinical trial of 50 evaluable patients commenced in the United States and Canada in September 2007.
