), a developer of painless, injection-free, ultrasonic transdermal drug-delivery patches and technologies with broad pharmaceutical and consumer applications, today announced that it will begin a new phase of human pilot trials to test the use of its innovative U-Strip(TM) drug delivery system with a study population of insulin-dependent Type-2 diabetics.

The pilot trial, scheduled to begin in January, 2006, is an essential milestone in the process to develop, approve and commercialize the Company's unique drug delivery system, according to Bruce Haglund, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Dermisonics. These human pilot trials will focus on the safety of the ultrasonic component of Dermisonics' U-Strip(TM) technology.

"This trial is an exciting, important component of the Company's Phase-1 Clinical Evaluations," said Bruce Redding Redding, city (1990 pop. 66,462), seat of Shasta co., N central Calif., on the Sacramento River; inc. 1872. A principal tourist center for a mountain and lake region, it also has lumbering, food-processing, and diverse manufacturing. , Executive Vice President of Dermisonics. "Successful completion of these trials will strengthen and accelerate Dermisonics' mission to secure approval for the first-ever injection-free transdermal insulin delivery technology, to capitalize on the burgeoning, $19 billion drug-delivery market." The insulin-delivery marketplace alone is estimated at $5.4 billion.

Dermisonics' completely non-invasive, painless drug-delivery system uses ultrasonic technology to expand the skin's pores, to enable heavy, large molecules to penetrate the skin (that is, to be delivered transdermally) and enter the bloodstream. Currently, most patients on regular drug regimens rely on often-painful needle injections or catheter drug pumps.

In the pilot trial, Dermisonics' U-Strip(TM) transdermal drug delivery system will be tested on human volunteers to evaluate the sensitivity of the skin to low-power ultrasound. Ultrasonic technology is an integral part of the Company's unique drug-delivery solution, designed to deliver large-molecule medications through the skin's naturally occurring pores and hair follicles Hair follicles

About Dermisonics, Inc.

Dermisonics is an intellectual property company and advanced technology incubator that is primarily focused on the ongoing development, testing and eventual commercialization of a transdermal patch that has been designed to facilitate the efficient and needle-free delivery of drugs with large molecular structures into the bloodstream. Its breakthrough system, called the U-Strip, is based on a radical integration of microelectronics and ultrasonic science with a product-carrying patch, and represents a quantum leap in non-invasive, transdermal delivery technology. Tests have shown that this system facilitates the transdermal delivery of insulin as well as potentially at least 175 other existing drugs that at present cannot be effectively delivered through the pores of the skin using conventionally available transdermal technology due to their large molecular size. The Company has also developed other portable ultrasonic systems for applications in the medical (Antiseptic Wand) and skin care (U-Wand) fields.
