Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 21, 2012, ADVENTRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("ADVENTRX" or the "Company") became aware that on May 17, 2012 BioMedReports.Com published a video interview with Brian M. Culley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, which interview was given on March 12, 2012. A transcript of the interview is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The information furnished by this current report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and other public disclosures that it has made and may make from time to time through filings with the SEC or by press release.

ADVENTRX cautions you that statements made during the interview that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on ADVENTRX's current expectations and assumptions as of the date of the interview. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding ADVENTRX's development plans and progress for ANX-188, including the nature and timing of future clinical studies, ANX-188’s potential as an effective treatment for sickle cell disease patients and the potential commercial value of ANX-188. Among the factors that could cause or contribute to material differences between ADVENTRX’s actual results and those indicated from the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties inherent in ADVENTRX’s business, including, but not limited to: the potential for ADVENTRX to delay, reduce or discontinue current and/or planned development activities, partner its product candidates at inopportune times or pursue less expensive but higher-risk development paths if it is unable to raise sufficient additional capital as needed; ADVENTRX’s ability to obtain additional funding on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, or at all; the potential for delays in the commencement or completion of its planned clinical studies including as a result of difficulties or delays in completing manufacturing process development activities and manufacturing clinical trial material; the risk of suspension or termination of a clinical study including due to lack of adequate funding; the risk that planned clinical studies of ADVENTRX's product candidates, including ANX-188, are not successful and, even if they are successful, that the FDA could determine they are not sufficient to support an NDA for the product candidate; the risk that the FDA does not grant market approval of ADVENTRX’s product candidates, including ANX-188, on a timely basis, or at all; ADVENTRX's reliance on third parties to assist in the conduct of important aspects of its product candidates' development programs, including the manufacture of clinical trial material, the conduct of clinical studies and regulatory submissions related to product approval, and that such third parties may fail to perform as expected; the risk that intellectual property protection ADVENTRX obtains with respect to its product candidates, including ANX-188, is insufficient to provide a competitive advantage; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in ADVENTRX's filings with the SEC, including its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date when made. ADVENTRX does not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of the interview, except as may be required by law.
