In conjunction with this financing, Tapestry today announced that its board of directors has approved a 1 for 10 reverse split of Tapestry's outstanding common stock and authorized the Company to file an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse split as of 5:01 p.m. Eastern time on February 3, 2006. Stockholders previously authorized the board to implement a reverse split of the Company's common stock at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June 2005. It is anticipated that Tapestry's common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a reverse split basis as of the opening of trading on February 6, 2005. For a period of 20 trading days, shares of Tapestry's common stock will trade under the ticker symbol "TPPHD." After 20 trading days, trading will resume under the current symbol: "TPPH." The reverse split affects all Tapestry common stock, stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse split. Tapestry will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares based on Tapestry's common stock closing price on February 3, 2006.

"We are pleased that our new institutional investors here recognize the potential for TPI 287. This financing allows us to generate preliminary Phase II efficacy data on TPI 287 in a number of major tumor types, as well as develop, upon continued confirmatory data, an oral form of this drug candidate. Virtually all of the resources of the company are now focused on the worldwide development of this unique taxane," commented Leonard Shaykin, Chairman and CEO of Tapestry Pharmaceuticals.

About TPI 287

TPI 287, a proprietary third generation taxane, is Tapestry's lead clinical compound. This compound was designed to overcome multi-drug resistance in solid tumors that have become resistant to taxane therapy. In preclinical testing, TPI 287 demonstrated the ability to inhibit tumor cell growth in a number of in vitro cell lines and has shown inhibition of human tumors in certain animal xenograft models when tested against standard comparative agents. The in vitro activity was seen across multiple cell lines including cell lines known to be sensitive to taxanes and cell lines known to be resistant to taxanes. In in vivo testing TPI 287 demonstrated reduction in the rate of tumor growth in both taxane resistant and taxane sensitive breast cancer xenografts. Taxane sensitive cell lines in which TPI 287 shows activity include cell lines derived from breast cancer, uterine cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Taxane resistant cell lines in which TPI 287 shows activity include lines derived from breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer. A number of these studies were presented at the November 2005 AACR/NCI/EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.

TPI 287 is currently in two Phase I studies in the United States and overseas to determine the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of the compound. A number of Phase II studies are planned in several of the major tumor types and are projected to begin in this calendar year.

Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that TPI 287 may be orally bioavailable. An oral form of the compound is currently in preclinical development.

Tapestry Pharmaceuticals prepares for bankruptcy

 

Denver Business Journal

 

Tapestry Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Tuesday it intends to file for bankruptcy.

The Boulder company (NASDAQ: TPPH), which has struggled financially for years, said in a Securities and Exchange Commission it has hired a bankruptcy attorney and initiated steps to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Tapestry also shaved its workforce on Monday to 12 people from 34.

The company said that as of Feb. 8, it had about $100,000 of cash and cash equivalents and liabilities of about $6.5 million. The liabilities include unpaid severance costs. Tapestry said it incurred severance costs of about $3.5 million in connection with the layoffs.

Tapestry said the only positions retained are the CEO, Leonard Shaykin, the COO, the CFO, the chief medical officer, the vice president of product development and seven others.

The company also said it intends to terminate its lease, which could cost as much as $2.7 million.

Tapestry its ongoing clinical trials will be continued as much as possible to maintain the value of its clinical trial data and intellectual property. The company is working on a drug called TPI 287 as a treatment for a variety of cancers.

Tapestry said in the SEC filing that it has tried over the past year to find a way to finance its operations, including the sale of securities or the sale of the company.

Tapestry said "a number of possible buyers or investors" have decided against buying or financing the company.

"We believe that the Company has very few options now other than filing for bankruptcy and attempting to reorganize or to sell our assets in a bankruptcy proceeding," Tapestry said in the SEC filing. "In such a circumstance, holders of our common stock may receive nothing for their shares."
