Affitech A/S, (NASDAQ OMX: AFFI), the antibody medicines company, announced that

Nordic Health Care Conference in Oslo where leading Norwegian and selected

market potential of the Company's lead drug candidate, AT001/r84, an antibody
therapeutic which blocks angiogenesis leading to reduction of tumour growth.
AT001/r84 has the potential to be as good or better than Avastin®/bevacizumab,

is planned to enter into human clinical trials in 2011 in co-development with
Affitech's Russian partner NTSPlus.
