LONDON, April 6, 2011 - This June, Mikko Neimi, ITC member, will meet with European industry

ITC Whitepaper and the imminent FDA guidelines.

Mikko Neimi, ITC member, will lead the panel Clarification of the ITC
Whitepaper and its Uses in Drug Development and Evaluating the Forthcoming
Guidelines. This interactive session will examine the advent of guidelines on
transporters, drug-drug interactions and what is required for approval. The
session will be the chance for delegates to speak directly to the experts
from the regulatory field, ITC and industry to get a full perspective on what
is expected.

The new regulation discussions will be enriched by the Case Study from
GSK. John Keogh, GSK, will provide the audience with an overview of the paper
and its impact on the role of transporters in clinical development and
