DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and Production Act 
of 1993--the Inter Company Collaboration for Aids Drug Development

    Notice is hereby given that, on April 19, 1994, pursuant to section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), the Inter Company Collaboration 
for AIDS Drug Development (``the Collaboration'') has filed written 
notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal 
Trade Commission disclosing additional activities to be undertaken by 
the Collaboration and changes in its membership status. The 
notifications were filed for the purpose of extending the Act's 
provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual 
damages under specified circumstances. Specifically, AJI Pharma, Inc., 
Teaneck, NJ has been added as a member. Eli-Lilly and Company has 
voluntarily withdrawn as a member of the Collaboration. The 
participants have agreed to coordinate a number of clinical trials of 
different combinations of multiple anti-viral drugs recommended by the 
Collaboration's Clinical Trial Subcommittee. The trials will be 
conducted by clinical research organizations selected by the 
Collaboration, pursuant to a protocol(s) approved by the Collaboration 
that will permit the systematic and rapid evaluation of multiple drug 
combinations.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
research project remains open, and the Collaboration intends to file 
additional written notification disclosing all changes in membership.
    On May 27, 1993, the Collaboration filed its only notification 
pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice 
published a notice in the Federal Register pursuant to section 6(b) of 
the Act on July 6, 1993 (58 FR 36223).
Constance K. Robinson,
Director of Operations Antitrust Division.
