Bioaccelerate Portfolio Company Enhance Biotech Receives Approval for Phase I Clinical Trials

FDA allows first-in-man trials of Urinary Incontinence drug


NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bioaccelerate Holdings Inc. (OTCBB:BACL) today announced that its portfolio company, Enhance Biotech Inc. (Pink Sheets:EBOI), a Specialty Pharmaceutical company that acquires, develops and seeks to commercialize drugs primarily in the Lifestyle Drug market, has today announced that it has received clearance from the FDA to proceed with Phase 1 clinical trials for its proprietary selective delta agonist, DPI-221, for urge and mixed Urinary Incontinence (UI). This is a novel mechanism for the potential treatment of UI.

The Phase I clinical trial for DPI-221 is planned to begin early in 2006.

UI is a common illness, particularly in the growing elderly population. It is defined as the uncontrollable loss of urine from the bladder and is the primary cause of institutionalization of the elderly. The syndrome is comprised primarily of three subtypes: urge incontinence, stress incontinence and mixed incontinence. The target condition for our UI compound, DPI-221, is urge and mixed incontinence, in which the patient cannot control the emptying of the bladder appropriately after the recognition of the need to urinate. According to Decision Resources, there are approximately 15 million cases of significant urge and mixed UI in the US.
