 BASEL, Switzerland and TRENTON, New Jersey, May 4 /PRNewswire/ --
 
 - Trial Convincingly Proves Functionality in Humans of CTI's
 Programmable, Pulsatile, Passive Transdermal Drug Delivery Device -
 ChronoDose(TM)
 
 
 Chrono Therapeutics Inc. (CTI) announced today the successful completion
 of its first phase human clinical trial of its programmable, pulsatile,
 passive transdermal drug/device combination product: ChronoDose(TM). CTI
 intends to publish this clinical data in leading scientific and medical
 journals by year end.
 
 
 CLINICAL STUDY DESIGN
 
 
 The trial was conducted between February and April 2007 at the University
 Hospital Basel, Switzerland, Division of Clinical Pharmacology and
 Toxicology. Georgios Imanidis, PhD, of the University of Basel was the
 Principal Investigator on behalf of CTI.
 
 
 This study was an open, randomized, three period, single-center,
 dose-escalation study. Thirty-six independent human transdermal tests were
 conducted on male volunteers using wristwatch-like ChronoDose(TM) devices.
 The trial successfully proved the efficacy of the device on human subjects
 using its model drug compound. The dose escalation trial showed statistically
 significant modulation and control of the dosing profiles. Using low, medium
 and high concentrations, for 16 hours, the model drug permeated each
 subject's skin on multiple occasions, resulting in clear and distinct peaks
 and troughs of therapeutically effective and well-targeted blood plasma
 concentration levels. A non-compartmental and compartmental model based
 analysis of pharmacokinetics will be utilized. Local and systemic
 tolerability of the model drug after its transdermal administration was
 better than planned.
 
 
 Dr. Georgios Imanidis commented, "CTI has for the first time in
 transdermal drug delivery history successfully completed a significant human
 trial with a passive, automated and programmable multiple dosing transdermal
 device system. We are extremely pleased with the excellent results".
 
 
 Guy DiPierro, CEO and President of CTI noted, "This solid and convincing
 clinical data along with initial human data generated last summer will help
 us to rapidly commercialize our initial drug product. We are particularly
 pleased that ChronoDose(TM) produced targeted blood plasma concentrations as
 accurately as it did and at the intended time periods."
