If you don't know about this stock, it is Northfield Laboratories. Their newest product, Polyheme tm, is a blood substitute. Manufactured from old blood stores, this product has unlimited shelf life and doesn't need to be typed. Several hospitals and emergency vehicles are using this product around the country with complete success. FDA approval is scheduled for the fall. At the present time, price is at low since it took off in the spring. Now is the time to buy. This stock should be in the $100 range when approval comes out. DD will follow

olyHeme® is a solution of chemically modified hemoglobin derived from human blood. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying component of the human red blood cell. Northfield purchases donated blood from The American Red Cross and Blood Centers of America for use as the starting material for PolyHeme. The company uses a proprietary process of separation, filtration and chemical modification to produce PolyHeme. Hemoglobin is first extracted from red blood cells and filtered to remove impurities. The purified hemoglobin is next chemically modified using a multi-step process to create a polymerized form of hemoglobin designed to avoid the undesirable effects historically associated with hemoglobin-based blood substitutes, including vasoconstriction, kidney dysfunction, liver dysfunction and gastrointestinal distress. The modified hemoglobin is then incorporated into a solution which can be administered as an alternative to transfused blood. One unit of PolyHeme contains 50 grams of modified hemoglobin, approximately the same amount of hemoglobin delivered by one unit of transfused blood.

NORTHFIELD LABORATORIES ANNOUNCES PATIENT ENROLLMENT IN PHASE III URBAN AMBULANCE TRIAL TO BEGIN
EVANSTON, IL – DECEMBER 22, 2003—Northfield Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLD) announced today that it has received clearance to begin patient enrollment in its pivotal Phase III urban ambulance trial with PolyHeme?, the Company’s oxygen-carrying blood substitute.
“I am gratified to report that Northfield has received notification of the first full approval by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to proceed with patient enrollment in this trial,” said Steven A. Gould, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This is a key accomplishment for Northfield, attributable to the diligence and perseverance of the many individuals involved in the challenge of embarking on such a complex trial. We anticipate multiple other final IRB approvals in the near future.
“We have scheduled a site initiation visit prior to the end of this month and patient enrollment will begin immediately thereafter,” said Dr. Gould.
The PolyHeme® urban ambulance trial is a controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PolyHeme® in treating severely injured and bleeding patients when blood is not immediately available. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to receive infusions of either PolyHeme® or the current standard treatment, a saline solution. Treatment will begin before arrival at the hospital, either at the scene of the injury or in the ambulance, and continue during a 12-hour post injury period in the hospital. The study will enroll 720 patients and will be conducted at approximately 20 Level I trauma centers across the United States.
In this trial it may not be possible to obtain informed consent from the patient or a legally authorized representative due to the urgency of the situation and the extent of the injuries. The study is therefore being conducted under a federal regulation that allows research to be conducted in certain emergent, life-threatening situations using an exception from the requirement for informed consent. Authorization to proceed with patient enrollment under this regulation signifies that the IRB has completed its oversight and evaluation of the public disclosure and community consultation process that is required, as well as its comprehensive review of the study protocol.
About Northfield Laboratories Northfield Laboratories Inc. is the leader in developing an oxygen- carrying blood substitute, PolyHeme(r), for the treatment of urgent, large volume blood loss in trauma and surgical settings.

Still making a steady climb up. Now at $13.00. This stock was brought down by a recent issue at $12 while it was trading around 15 to raise funds for preparation for FDA approval. It normally trades around 15 but has seen 19 this spring. The low is artificial and it will continue to rise. When FDA approval comes out in fall the sky's the limit.
