Nortran Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") announced the completion of all treatments for the
phase II clinical trials of its local anaesthetic product, RSD921. A total of 110 patients and volunteers

conducted with the Company's development partner, the Chemical Company of Malaysia Berhad
("CCM"), at the University Hospital, University of Malaya.

The final reports on the trial results are expected by mid October. The data will provide a foundation for
further licensing discussions on RSD921 with pharmaceutical companies in other areas of the world,
and will be the basis for phase III clinical trials.

molecules. The Company recently announced a partnership with F. Hoffmann La Roche covering part
of its antiarrhythmic development program in the area of atrial fibrillation. Nortran's current drugs in
