iCeutica Completes GMP Scale-Up for its Nano-Sized Products
PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 19, 2008 — iCeutica, Inc. announces that the first GMP clinical supplies have been manufactured for its partner, Iroko
Pharmaceuticals, utilizing iCeutica’s proprietary nano-sizing technology. The completion of the manufacturing campaign represents an important technical

food-fast effects and potentially reduced side effects,” said Iroko President and CEO, John Vavricka.
“iCeutica’s nano-sizing platform is broadly applicable to a wide range of poorly soluble drug compounds and provides a novel and exciting approach to
formulation development and drug product manufacturing. We look forward to working with our partners and on our internal pipeline in maximizing the potential
of this important new technology,” said Mr. Callahan.
