AeroLEF(TM):
AeroLEF(TM) is a unique, inhaled-delivery composition of free and liposome-encapsulated fentanyl in development for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, including cancer pain. AeroLEF(TM) permits patients to identify and select the appropriate dose in real-time for each pain episode to achieve both rapid onset and extended duration of analgesia.
During Fiscal 2007:
- YM announced that AeroLEF(TM) had met the primary endpoint in its
first randomized, placebo-controlled Phase IIb trial enrolling opioid-
naive patients with post-operative pain following orthopedic surgery.
A statistically significant difference in pain relief and pain
intensity to placebo (p=0.0194) was reported.
- YM received clearance from the FDA to initiate a Phase II trial in the
US in opioid tolerant or opioid-naive patients. A successful trial
would further extend the utility and medical breadth of the product if
and when approved. Enrollment in its 50-patient trial is expected to
start in calendar Q4, 2007.
- A request to the FDA for an End-of-Phase II meeting prior to calendar
year-end 2007 to discuss Phase III trial desi
