Innovative solutions for diseases of the central nervous system Focused on key objectives Gaining approval for Zecuity™ Securing commercial partners Conducting additional pre-launch commercial activities Financial resources to execute on key objectives NuPathe – Specialty Pharmaceutical Company |
Game-changing, disruptive technology for migraine Utilizes proprietary active transdermal delivery technology Uniquely positioned to address migraine-related nausea & vomiting (MRNV) – significant unaddressed disease burden Rapid relief of both headache pain and nausea, very low rate of triptan sensations MRNV impacts half of all migraine sufferers MRNV drives higher headache-related health care utilization and direct costs Near-term commercial opportunity PDUFA Date - January 17, 2013 Attractive specialist–driven market Zecuity – The First and Only Migraine Patch |
Applied during migraine to arm or thigh Rapidly delivers sumatriptan, the #1 prescribed Triptan Bypasses GI tract – mouth & gut Simple to use, single use, disposable Long life: issued patents until April 2027 Zecuity – Harnessing the Power of Sumatriptan |
Tablets and MRNV Patients often unwilling or unable to take tablets when nauseated >30% of patients delay/avoid orals – too nauseated/fear of vomiting1,2,3 Tolerability limitations of existing non-orals Nasal sprays: taste issues, nausea, and vomiting are common AEs Injections: high incidence and intensity of “triptan-effects” related to Cmax Zecuity Addresses Limitations of Other Formulations Imitrex Nasal Spray 20mg4 Bad Taste 25% Nausea/Vomiting 14% Imitrex Injection 6mg5 Atypical Sensations* 42% Nausea/Vomiting 12% * Atypical sensations include tingling, warm/hot sensation, burning sensation, feeling of heaviness, pressure sensation, feeling of tightness, numbness |
Pivotal phase 3 efficacy data demonstrate: 39% more Zecuity patients had pain relief than placebo at 30 minutes* Sustained pain relief from 2 to 24 hours (P = 0.0015) Significant pain relief at 1 hour (P = 0.0135) Significant elimination of nausea at 1 hour (P = 0.0251) 71% nausea free at 1 hour, reaching 84% by hour 2 Relieves Pain and Eliminates Nausea within One Hour * Not statistically significant. FDA Endpoints (Data at 2 hours) P-Value Pain free – Primary = 0.0092 Pain relief < 0.0001 Nausea free < 0.0001 Photophobia free = 0.0028 Phonophobia free = 0.0002 |
Pivotal Phase 3 Data Adverse Event Profile Application site events were typical of patches Majority were mild in intensity and transient Minimal incidence of adverse events known as triptan sensations Compared with product labeling for oral (>8%) and injection (>42%) Patch Placebo Application site pain 26% 17% Application site tingling 9% 16% Application site itching 8% 7% Application site warmth 6% 3% Application site discomfort 6% 6% Patch Placebo Atypical sensations 1.7% 0.0% Pain and other pressure sensations 1.7% 0.4% |
Extensive clinical program including more than 800 patients and 10,000 patch applications No drug-related serious adverse events Two 12-month, repeat use, open-label trials Very low incidence of triptan sensations (0.9%) No increased skin irritation with repeat or increased use 12-month completers used approximately 2.5 patches per month Additional clinical pharmacology safety studies Cumulative skin irritation PK and safety in elderly PK in migraine patients Excellent Safety and Efficacy Demonstrated through Robust Clinical Program |
Key CRL Issue Action Taken Skin events of concern Implemented device enhancement Prevents patch from activating when misapplied Packaging Usability Uniformity Containment Modified secondary packaging Usability study demonstrated all patients correctly applied patch during a migraine Additional data supports consistent uniformity and containment Repeat BE study Successfully completed Required new in vitro method for product release Developed and validated new in vitro method Justification of waiver for CA study Demonstrated that sumatriptan not passively delivered even in presence of penetration enhancers in two laboratory dermal studies Zecuity NDA Resubmitted PDUFA Jan 17, 2013 |
31 million migraine sufferers1 Triptan share 94% of migraine prescriptions2 97% of migraine sales2 Preferred class of migraine treatment 3 – 4 triptan trials before moving to different classes (e.g. opioids, DHE)3 Key challenge for triptans: circumventing pervasive migraine-related GI issues Injection is poorly tolerated and orals/nasals can be unreliable Triptans Dominate the Migraine Market Triptans 94% Analgesic Combos 5% Ergots 1% |
Triptan Sensations Mimic a cardiovascular event >42% of injection patients3 > 8% of oral tab patients3 Millions Remain Underserved * Linked to a variety of factors, including gastroparesis. Gastroparesis Unreliable absorption Inconsistent Efficacy* >40% of treated patients4 Migraine-Related Nausea (MRN) 8.0 million patients in >50% of attacks1 4.7 million patients in 100% of attacks2 Migraine-Related Vomiting (MRV) 3.4 million patients in >50% of attacks2 1.5 million patients in 100% of attacks2 Note: Overlap amongst patient types. |
Frequent nausea patients are less satisfied with their migraine medications (p < 0.0001)1,2 Frequent nausea patients drive direct medical costs for migraine3 2.2 times as many visits to a specialist 5.4 times as many emergency/urgent care visits 8.2 times higher overnight hospital stay costs Presence of nausea predicts poor response to oral medications in treating headache pain4,5 Headache pain relief with patch not compromised by presence of nausea* (p < 0.0001) MRN Drives Tremendous Disease Burden * Ad hoc data analysis of Phase 3 pivotal study . |
Insurance is >90% commercial private pay Payors see value in a patch for migraine Recognize cost of poorly controlled migraine patients Acknowledge barrier of GI issues Accept patch as a unique solution Payors indicate broad formulary access Majority Tier 3 with a single step edit Select opportunities to contract for Tier 2 Non-orals priced up to $95 per unit (WAC) Annual gross revenue per patient using 2 patches/month $100/patch = $2,400 Pricing and Reimbursement Aligned with Product Positioning |
Physicians rate Zecuity superior to oral, nasal, and injectable triptans for MRN patients on key attributes including: Ability to use early in a migraine attack despite GI issues Frequency of triptan sensations and overall tolerability Elimination of nausea at 1 and at 2 hours 77% of MRN patients will ask their physician about the patch Quantitative Research Confirms the Market Opportunity for Zecuity Physicians (n=409) Priority segments Heightened concern about MRN High interest in prescribing a migraine patch Patients (n=400) Priority segments Actively seeking new treatments Highest % of migraines with nausea |
8 million patients experience nausea in >50% of attacks1 1.5 million patients vomit in 100% of attacks2 Branded injection WAC pricing of $95/migraine Treat 24 migraines per year Illustrative Market Segment Opportunities Migraine-Related Nausea (>50% of Attacks) and Vomiting Segment (100% of Attacks) 1.5 MM vomit during every attack |
Secure commercial partnerships Zecuity is a versatile asset within a portfolio Migraine co-morbidity rates include: sleep disorders (52%), depression (45%), arthritis (35%), GERD (26%)1 Headache specialists drive ~ 1/3rd of triptan volume2 ~ 10K headache specialists and neurologists Discrete segment of primary care doubles the opportunity ~30K PCPs account for an additional 1/3rd of the market2 Significant commercial opportunity in ROW Commercialization Strategy 17 |
