We are an integrated product development company primarily focused on
therapeutics for pain utilizing our proprietary drug delivery technologies. Our
lead product candidate is Fentanyl TAIFUN®, a fentanyl formulation specifically
designed to be delivered with our TAIFUN® Multi-Dose Inhaler.
We are developingFentanyl TAIFUN® as a rapid-acting inhaled opioid analgesic for treatment of
break-through cancer pain. In June 2007, we entered into an exclusive license
and development agreement with Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. with respect to the
continuing development and commercialization of Fentanyl TAIFUN®. We believe,
based upon the results of our clinical trials to date, that our Fentanyl TAIFUN®
product candidate, if approved by regulatory agencies, will deliver much faster
onset of pain relief from break-through cancer pain at lower dosages than other
non-injectable products currently indicated for break-through cancer pain.
Break-through cancer-related pain has a severe impact on a patient's quality
of life and can occur even if the individual is taking chronic pain medication
on a regular basis. Break-through pain is a common component of chronic pain and
is characterized by its rapid onset, intensity and relatively short duration.
These intermittent flare-ups of intense pain "break-through" the effect of
chronic pain medication. We believe currently available therapeutics targeted at
break-through cancer pain are inadequate because of their higher dosage of
fentanyl and comparatively longer time to onset.
