Cardiome And Astellas Announce Positive Results From ACT 2 Trial

) who converted to normal heart rhythm within 90 minutes, the median time to conversion was 12 minutes from the initiation of dosing.

"We are delighted to see a 47% conversion rate in post-operative atrial fibrillation patients, and in particular we are encouraged by the safety profile observed in this fragile patient population," stated Bob Rieder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Cardiome. "The efficacy and safety results observed in this study are consistent with those we've seen throughout the vernakalant (iv) development program."

The ACT 2 study was conducted in 42 centres in the United States, Canada, Argentina, India and Europe. The study was focused on the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter occurring after CABG or valve replacement surgery. Approximately 30% of these patients have an episode of atrial arrhythmia following their surgery. The arrhythmia, though transient, is a significant medical concern.

"We are very pleased with the results of the ACT 2 trial and the important insight it provides about the use of vernakalant (iv)," stated Yoshihiko Hatanaka, President and Chief Executive Officer of Astellas Pharma US, Inc.

In October 2003, Cardiome granted Astellas Pharma US, Inc. an exclusive license to develop and commercialize vernakalant (iv) in North America. The companies have co-developed vernakalant (iv) to NDA, with Astellas responsible for 75% of development costs. Cardiome has retained all rights to the intravenous formulations outside of Canada, U.S. and Mexico.

Cardiome will hold a conference call and webcast on Monday, June 4, 2007 at 9:00am EDT (6:00am PDT). Please dial 416-340-8010 or 866-540-8136 to access the call. There will be a separate dial-in line for analysts on which we will respond to questions at the end of the presentation. The webcast can be accessed through Cardiome's website at www.cardiome.com.
