Straight off their website I know but still gives a good rundown of what EPT are about. Im sounding like a die-hard holder (which I'm not) but the more I research the more this one captures my imagination.

"EpiTan's clinical trial and research & development program has been designed to bring Melanotan to market in the shortest timeframe. The company has now commenced its Phase II 'sunburn' clinical trial at sites in Sydney and Adelaide, Australia. This study will determine the ability of Melanotan to reduce the degree and toxicity of sunburn while enhancing tanning in approximately 80 healthy volunteers exposed to ultraviolet light both before and after a regime of Melanotan. Results of this trial are expected in the second half of 2003. EpiTan completed its first Phase I/II human trial in early 2002. This trial involved 16 volunteers and was designed to demonstrate the blood level concentrations of Melanotan over a 10-day period of daily injections. Results of the trial showed that Melanotan is safe and does produce melanin in the skin. With the Phase II trial underway, Melanotan is at an advanced stage on the path to commercialisation. EpiTan will apply for approval for Melanotan firstly in Australia through the local regulatory authority. Shortly after, applications to Europe and US will be submitted and approval is expected to follow 6-12 months after Australia. It is currently anticipated that Melanotan will be available by prescription in Australia in 2005/2006. "
