Adeona to Host Third Quarter 2011 Investor Conference Call

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX: AEN), a developer of innovative medicines for serious central nervous system diseases, announced today that it will hold its third quarter 2011 investor conference call on Monday, November 14, 2011, at 2:00pm EST. James S. Kuo, M.D., M.B.A., Adeona's Chief Executive Officer, will provide an overview of the Company's multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS and Alzheimer's clinical development programs and commercialization efforts of wellZin™, Adeona's zinc acetate lozenges for reducing the duration and symptoms of the common cold. Julie Caudill, Adeona's Vice President of Finance, will review the Company's financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Adeona will be joined by special guest, Rhonda Voskuhl, M.D., Director, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Multiple Sclerosis Program, UCLA Department of Neurology, and Lead Principal Investigator of the ongoing multi-center clinical trial evaluating Trimesta™ for relapsing-remitting MS in women. In addition to providing an overview of the Trimesta clinical trial, Dr. Voskuhl will share her insights into the mechanism to treat MS patients and will take questions about her research.

Dr. Voskuhl is the investigator who discovered that the female sex hormone, estriol, could suppress MS-like symptoms in a mouse model of the disease.  This preclinical research led to a 10-patient clinical study that showed an 82% decrease in brain lesions over a six month period.  This clinical study was followed by the 150-patient, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Trimesta that is currently underway at 15 centers in the United States. Dr. Voskuhl's preclinical and clinical work has been scientifically reviewed and awarded over $8 million in grant funding by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and other third party groups.
