During the third quarter of 2004, Point achieved the following key milestones:

The four phase 2 trials involve subjects with: Advanced non-small cell lung cancer studying talabostat in combination with Taxotere; Advanced metastatic melanoma studying talabostat as a single agent; Advanced metastatic melanoma studying talabostat incombination with cisplatin; and Advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia studying talabostat in combination with rituximab.

- Announced two new preclinical programs in type 2 diabetes and vaccine adjuvants at the company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
- Presented the company's type 2 diabetes program at the Punk Ziegal Diabetes Symposium.
"We continue to enroll subjects in our four phase 2 clinical studies of talabostat and expect to report interim go/no-go results on at least one study in the fourth quarter of 2004. We were also pleased to announce two new preclinical programs in type 2 diabetes and vaccine adjuvants at our annual meeting of stockholders this August," said Donald R. Kiepert, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Point. "These new programs are a direct result of the knowledge and expertise that we have gained over the years in our dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) inhibitor technology."
