Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 6, 2007, Targeted Genetics Corporation, or the Company, announced its response to an article in the Washington Post (August 6, 2007) with respect to the Company’s development program of tgAAC94, an investigational therapy for the treatment of inflammatory arthritis. The Company noted that the serious adverse event and subsequent death of a patient enrolled in the study that is central to the article is currently being assessed by the Company and the FDA, and that it would be premature as well as irresponsible to draw any conclusions prior to the completion of that assessment.

A copy of the press release issued in connection with this announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
