NEWS RELEASE

This was a randomized, two-period, two-way crossover study in healthy male subjects. The study was designed to determine whether INT007 was bioequivalent to a leading branded PDE-5 inhibitor tablet as measured by industry standard pharmacokinetic measures, peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC). The study results demonstrated that INT007 was within the range of bioequivalency on both of these measures. The study also measured time to peak concentration (Tmax), a common determinant of rate of absorption. IntelGenx' INT007 film achieved Tmax 27% quicker than the oral tablet formulation, indicating a potentially faster onset of action.

"The achievement of bioequivalence in this pilot study solidifies IntelGenx' position at the forefront of immediate release film development," said Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, President and Chief Executive Officer of IntelGenx. "This is the second VersaFilm™ project that we progressed into the clinic, and the second VersaFilm™ project that has yielded positive bioequivalence results. Furthermore this study has demonstrated not only bioequivalence but also a faster onset of action, which could be another advantage versus the current tablet formulation."

Following the successful completion of the pilot study, the Company plans to commence scale-up and manufacturing of the pivotal batches required to support a pivotal clinical study and future regulatory 505(b)(2) filing.
