About ADMA Biologics, Inc.

ADMA is a late stage biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and intends to market specialty plasma-based biologics for the treatment and prevention of certain infectious diseases. ADMA's mission is to develop and commercialize plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted to niche patient populations for the treatment and prevention of certain infectious diseases. The target patient populations include immune-compromised individuals who suffer from an underlying immune deficiency disease or who may be immune- compromised for medical reasons. ADMA also operates ADMA Bio Centers Georgia, Inc., an FDA-licensed and GHA-certified source plasma collection facility located in Norcross, Georgia, which provides ADMA with a portion of its blood plasma for the manufacture of RI-002.

About ADMA's lead product candidate RI-002

ADMA's lead product candidate, RI-002 is a specialty plasma-derived, polyclonal, Intravenous Immune Globulin, or IGIV, derived from human plasma containing naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies (e.g., streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenza type B, CMV, measles, tetanus etc.), as well as high levels of antibodies targeted to respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. ADMA is pursuing an indication for the use of this specialty IGIV product for treatment of patients diagnosed with primary immune deficiency diseases, or PIDD. Polyclonal antibodies are the primary component of IGIV products. Polyclonal antibodies are proteins produced by B-cells that are used by the body's immune system to neutralize microbes such as bacteria and viruses. The polyclonal antibodies that are present in RI-002 are expected to prevent infections in immune-compromised patients. The product is currently being evaluated in a Phase III trial in the United States. The pivotal Phase III study design follows the published FDA's "Guidance for Industry: Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetic Studies to Support Marketing of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human) as Replacement Therapy for Primary Humoral Immunodeficiency" (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research June 2008). The primary endpoint in the Phase III study, as described in the FDA's guidance for industry, provides for a reduction in the incidence of serious infections to less than one per year in each subject receiving IGIV. The secondary endpoint is safety and includes other data collection points including antibody titers for certain agents, including RSV antibody levels at various time points after infusion. ADMA's protocol has been developed in accordance with the FDA's Guidance for Industry (June 2008), and if successful data is obtained, the Company believes that this single Phase III trial and complete BLA submission should lead to FDA approval for RI-002. ADMA expects to have preliminary data from the pivotal Phase III clinical trial during the fourth quarter of 2014. Once data is available, the Company expects to file a BLA with the FDA during the first half of 2015 in accordance with the FDA's guidance for industry. The FDA could approve ADMA's BLA within approximately one year of filing, and potential first commercial sales could occur as early as the first half of 2016.
