/C O R R E C T I O N -- AstraZeneca/ In the news release, FDA Advisory Committee Recommends Further Data to Support Approval of AstraZeneca's Oral Anticoagulant Exanta(R), issued earlier this evening by AstraZeneca over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that following the third paragraph of the release there should be a fourth paragraph reading: "EXANTA is an investigational oral direct thrombin inhibitor (oral DTI) and is poised to be the first oral anticoagulant since the development of warfarin more than 50 years ago. More than 30,000 patients in over 25 countries have participated in the clinical trial program for EXANTA to date, with more than 17,000 patients receiving EXANTA. EXANTA was studied as a fixed, oral dose with no titration or coagulation monitoring," instead of being followed by the paragraph headed, "About AstraZeneca," as originally issued inadvertently.
