ZEVALIN
 
In 2008, 2007, and 2006 sales of ZEVALIN were $4.8 million, $16.9 million, and $17.8 million, respectively. The decrease in total ZEVALIN sales in 2008 as compared to 2007 is primarily due to the sale of the rights to market, sell, manufacture, and develop ZEVALIN in the U.S. to CTI during the fourth quarter of 2007. Beginning in 2008, ZEVALIN product revenue consists only of ZEVALIN sales to Schering AG.

In December 2007, we sold the U.S. marketing, sales, manufacturing and development rights of ZEVALIN to Cell Therapeutics, Inc., or CTI, for an upfront purchase price of $10.0 million and up to an additional $20.0 million in milestone payments. In addition, we also will receive royalty payments on future sales of ZEVALIN. As part of the overall arrangement, we have entered into a contract with CTI to supply ZEVALIN product through 2014 and a related services and security agreement under which CTI has agreed to reimburse us for costs incurred in an ongoing randomized clinical trial for ZEVALIN with respect to aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The $10.0 million upfront payment will be recognized in our results of operations over the term of the supply agreement.

In the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, sales of ZEVALIN were unchanged. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales of ZEVALIN increased 2.2%, due to higher international sales offset by lower domestic sales. In August 2007 we entered into an agreement to sell the rights to market, sell, manufacture and develop ZEVALIN in the United States to CTI. We expect this agreement to close in the fourth quarter of 2007.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, the cost of product revenue for ZEVALIN increased $2.5 million, or 114.0%, due, principally, to the increased write-off of unmarketable inventory.

For 2006 compared to 2005, cost of product revenue for ZEVALIN decreased $6.7 million, or 29.2%, due, principally, to the impairment of certain capitalized patents in 2005 and decline in sales volumes. For 2005 compared to 2004, cost of product revenue for ZEVALIN increased $3.8 million, or 20.0%, due to inventory write-offs and impairments.

ZEVALIN
 
The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen, which features ZEVALIN, is a radioimmunotherapy that is approved for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed B-cell NHL, including patients with RITUXAN relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In 2005, sales of ZEVALIN in the U.S. generated revenues of $19.4 million as compared to revenues of $18.7 million in 2004. ZEVALIN is approved in the EU for the treatment of adult patients with CD20¡ follicular B-cell NHL who are refractory to or have relapsed following RITUXAN therapy. We sell ZEVALIN to Schering AG for distribution in the EU, and receive royalty revenues from Schering AG on sales of ZEVALIN in the EU. Rest of world product sales for ZEVALIN in 2005 were $1.4 million as compared to $4.3 million in 2004. The $4.3 million rest of world product sales in 2004 relates to ZEVALIN sold to Schering AG in 2003 and 2004, recognition of which had been deferred.
 
Radiation therapy plays an important role in the management of B-cell lymphomas due to the sensitivity of B-cell tumors to radiation. Traditional radiation therapy consists of an external beam of radiation focused on isolated areas of the body or areas with high tumor burden. The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen combines a monoclonal antibody with a radioisotope. Following intravenous infusion, the monoclonal antibody recognizes and attaches to the CD20 antigen. This allows ZEVALIN to specifically target B-cells, destroying the malignant NHL B-cells and also normal B-cells.
 
ZEVALIN therapy consists of two kits: an imaging kit for use with indium-111 and a therapeutic kit for use with yttrium-90. The ZEVALIN therapeutic regimen can be completed on an outpatient basis in approximately seven to nine days and includes:
 
  •  administration of one dose of RITUXAN to deplete peripheral blood B cells and improve ZEVALIN biodistribution;
 
  •  imaging with the ZEVALIN imaging kit using indium-111, followed by gamma camera images at 48 to 72 hours, and optional images at other points in time, if desired by the physician, to confirm biodistribution of ZEVALIN;
 
  •  if acceptable biodistribution of ZEVALIN is demonstrated, another dose of RITUXAN is administered; and
 
  •  infusion of the ZEVALIN therapeutic kit using yttrium-90.
 
We are working with third party investigators to expand the quality and quantity of data available about ZEVALIN. ZEVALIN is being investigated in a variety of lymphoma subtypes including diffuse B cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and follicular non-Hodgkins’ lymphoma. ZEVALIN is also being studied in a number of different treatment strategies including combinations with front-line and salvage chemotherapy regimens as part of autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation in both indolent and aggressive lymphoma subtypes and in combination with investigational agents.
