NES-ZIONA, Israel, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PROLOR Biotech, Inc. (NYSE Amex: PBTH), a clinical stage company developing next generation biobetter therapeutic proteins, today announced that company management will give a corporate presentation at the 12th Annual Oppenheimer Israeli Conference, to be held at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel.  The presentation is scheduled for May 15, 2011 at 3:05 pm local time.

A copy of the company's updated corporate presentation, which includes an interim analysis of data from the company's Phase II trial of hGH-CTP, a long-acting version of human growth hormone, will be available starting on May 12, 2011 at the Investors section of PROLOR's website at www.prolor-biotech.com/?CategoryID=216

Shai Novik, President of PROLOR noted, "This is an exciting time for PROLOR.  The recent positive results from the interim analysis of our Phase ll trial showed that one injection of hGH-CTP has the potential to replace seven daily doses of commercial human growth hormone.  This sets the stage for us to complete the Phase II trial and advance preparations for our hGH-CTP Phase III registration trial planned for next year.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss our pipeline and recent progress with Israeli and US investors at this important conference."
