RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RGRX) (“the Company” or “RegeneRx”) In response to questions received related to this morning's press release, RegeneRx wishes to publicly clarify certain points and information contained within the release.

1. 1. Exploratory clinical trials, such as the RGN-259 Phase 2 dry eye trial, by nature and design, seek to identify areas where drug candidates show activity in order to specifically focus on those activities in future clinical trials;
2. Whether the primary outcomes selected at the outset of an exploratory trial are met is less significant than identifying statistically significant outcomes that could potentially serve as approvable endpoints in pivotal Phase 3 trials;
3. We believe that the statistically significant benefits observed in our exploratory Phase 2 trial are clinically relevant and indicate beneficial activity of RGN-259 when patients are challenged within a controlled adverse environment; and
4. The statistical results identified in this morning's press release were derived on an intent-to-treat (ITT) population, which means that all randomized patients (72) were analyzed.
