   Zosano Pharma, Inc. is a privately held pharmaceutical company
developing a novel transdermal delivery technology for a broad range
of therapeutic indications. Its lead clinical program, the ZP-PTH
rapid delivery patch for the treatment of osteoporosis, is being

onset of action and room temperature storage. Zosano's transdermal
delivery technology has been clinically tested in over 400 patients
with four different peptides and a vaccine. Zosano aims to develop
products both independently and through strategic licensing and
co-development arrangements. Founded in 2006 as an ALZA Corporation
spin-out led by Nomura Phase4 Ventures, Zosano is funded by New
Enterprise Associates, Nomura Phase4 Ventures, HBM BioVentures and
ProQuest Investments. For more information, please visit
