GLYCOTEX COMPLETES ENROLMENT IN PHASE IIA STUDY OF LEAD PRODUCT CANDIDATE GLYC-101 FOR WOUND HEALING

Novogen Limited’s US subsidiary, Glycotex, Inc., has made the following announcement:

Rockville, MD – Thursday, March 13, 2008 - Glycotex, Inc. today announced that it had completed patient enrolment in a Phase IIa study evaluating the effect of GLYC-101 on wound closure in patients undergoing carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing.

The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in Beverly Hills, California has enrolled 12 patients undergoing laser skin ablation. In addition to assessing safety endpoints, the study is investigating efficacy endpoints, among them the promotion of wound healing and cosmetic outcomes.

About GLYC-101

GLYC-101is intended to stimulate and modulate the natural cascade of wound healing activities of several cell populations. The product candidate is a topical gel to be applied directly on the wound surface. In May 2006, Glycotex completed a Phase II clinical trial of GLYC-101 in Australia, in which GLYC-101 produced a statistically significant rate of wound area reduction versus combined placebo and standard care in patients with chronic venous ulcers. The results provided proof-of concept and dose-ranging information for GLYC-101.

The strategic priorities for GLYC-101 include wound healing following laser ablation, burn wounds, surgical wounds, venous ulcers and diabetic ulcers.
