                      CELTRIX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

     SANTA CLARA, CA -- January 22, 1998 -- For the third fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 1997, Celtrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTRX) reported
revenues of $36,000 and a net loss of $3,532,000, or $.17 per share. In
comparison, revenues were $29,000 and the net loss was $3,378,000, or $.22 per
share, for the same period in 1996. Operating expenses increased to $3,716,000
for the third quarter, from $3,508,000 for the same period last year, due
primarily to increased human clinical testing and the manufacture of
SomatoKine(R), the company's lead therapeutic compound.

     For the first nine months ended December 31, 1997, revenues were $115,000
and the net loss was $9,313,000, or $.44 per share. This includes a $737,000
gain on investment during the first fiscal quarter from the sale of securities
held by the company in Prograft Medical, Inc. For the same period last year,
revenues were $108,000, and the net loss was $9,793,000, or $.64 per share. The
decrease in net loss per share, compared with the same period in 1996, is due
primarily to an increase in shares outstanding resulting from the company's
April 1997 financing. At December 31, 1997, Celtrix had $10,377,000 million in
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

     "Celtrix was issued a key U.S. patent during the quarter providing broad
commercial protection for SomatoKine," said Andreas Sommer, Ph.D., Celtrix's
president and chief executive officer. "The patent covers methods for treating
osteoporosis and other serious medical conditions that require the stimulation
of bone and tissue growth. SomatoKine is currently undergoing Phase II clinical
feasibility studies for two relevant indications: hip fracture surgery in the
elderly and severe burns. Clinical findings will guide expansion into full Phase
II studies."

     "Also during the quarter, business activities were enhanced by key
additions to our board of directors and management team," Dr. Sommer said. "Dr.
Barry Sherman, who is president and chief executive officer of Anergen, Inc. and
a clinical professor of internal medicine at Stanford University, became a
Celtrix board member in December. In addition, Donald Huffman joined our company
in November as vice president, finance and administration, and chief financial
officer. Don has an extensive background in finance and strategic planning
important to maintaining Celtrix's forward momentum and supporting the
development of SomatoKine."

     Celtrix is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for
the treatment of seriously debilitating, degenerative conditions primarily
associated with severe trauma, chronic diseases or aging. The company's
development focus is on SomatoKine, a novel IGF-BP3 complex, for use in
regenerating lost muscle, bone and other tissues essential for the

patient's health and quality of life. Ongoing product development programs
target acute traumatic injury, such as hip fracture surgery in the elderly and
severe burns. Other potential indications include severe osteoporosis and
protein wasting diseases associated with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening
conditions. Through strategic alliances with Celtrix, The Green Cross
Corporation (now merged with Yoshitomi Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.) is
developing SomatoKine for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan, and Genzyme
Corporation is developing TGF-beta-2 as part of a comprehensive approach to
tissue repair and the treatment of systemic disease.

Actual results may differ materially from the statements made, as a result of
various factors, including risks associated with the ability to establish new

Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. These forward-looking statements represent
