Weinstein Kitchenoff Scarlato Karon & Goldman Ltd. Announces
Class Action Lawsuit Against Allos Therapeutics, Inc. 


PHILADELPHIA, May 21  /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Weinstein Kitchenoff
Scarlato Karon & Goldman Ltd. announced today that a class action lawsuit has
been filed on behalf of purchasers of Allos Therapeutics, Inc.  publicly traded
securities between May 29, 2003 and May 3, 2004 (the "Class Period").

The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Specifically the complaint alleges that Allos misled the investing public by
issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements highlighting the
purported efficacy of the Company's radiation sensitizer RSR13 ("Efaproxiral")
for the treatment of brain metastases in patients with breast cancer, as well
as the likelihood that this drug would receive approval from the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA").  On April 30, 2004 and May 3, 2004, it was
announced by the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee ("ODAC") of the FDA that it
concluded by a 16-1 vote to recommend that the FDA not approve Efaproxiral. In
recommending rejection of Efaproxiral, the ODAC found that, "the evidence of
drug efficacy needs to be much stronger to be convincing." As a result of this
announcement, the price of Allos shares fell $2.09, or 45% to close at $2.55 on
extraordinary volume.

If you bought Allos publicly traded securities between May 29, 2003 and May 3,
2004, and you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must file a request with the
Court no later than July 19, 2004.  Any member of the Class may file a request
to serve as lead plaintiff through Weinstein Kitchenoff Scarlato Karon &
Goldman Ltd. or other counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and
remain a member of the Class.
