Cambridge, MA, May 8, 2014 — BIND Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIND), a clinical-stage nanomedicine platform company developing targeted and programmable therapeutics called Accurins^TM, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

“We are very excited about recent developments for BIND-014, our lead proprietary drug candidate. In a planned interim analysis of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Phase 2 trial for BIND-014, we observed promising preliminary clinical results in six patients with KRAS mutations and intend to add an additional clinical study to further investigate this promising clinical result. We were also pleased by the substantial interest generated in the medical and scientific community by the data we presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2014 Annual Meeting. Additionally, we completed enrollment in the BIND-014 Phase 2 NSCLC trial on the once every three week schedule and initiated enrollment in the weekly schedule,” said Scott Minick, BIND’s President and CEO.

“Looking forward in 2014, we plan to further evaluate BIND-014’s activity in additional patient populations, including NSCLC patients with KRAS mutations, and additional tumor types in which there is strong biologic rationale for BIND-014 treatment including cervical, bladder, cholangio and neuroendocrine cancer, as well as exploring potential biomarkers of PSMA expression, tumor permeability and particle accumulation.”
